Letter from Paula and Patrick
Some couples are so full of love that they illuminate the entire world and you can't help but fall in love with them, too. From all the friends we share, I'm sure that the mentioning of Patrick and Paula brings a smile to each and everyone's lips just because they are so…..humanly gloriously warm and affectionate. I am so pleased to be able to announce that Night Publishing has published Shakespeare's Cuthbert.
Patrick's style is humourous fantasy. He uses straightforward prose and short chapters to build up momentum. Looking for a good laugh and a relaxing afternoon? Then, definitely pick up this book and enjoy it.
Hi Hannah
Thank you so much for agreeing to feature Patrick on your website. Would you mind please just considering the following personal bio? We will understand if this isn't
We have looked through your questions and unfortunately have found a lot of them
difficult to answer. Patrick had some strokes a couple of years ago, and I have been in a wheelchair for 11 years, so it is difficult to answer specifics. We have several children, Paula is the ringmaster, cook and bottle washer. Cooking is a mystery to Patrick – meals appear as if by magic, otherwise his attitude would be "if I can't rip its lid off and microwave it, I'm not playing!"
Patrick Barrett was born in 1950 in Nottingham, England and was a coal miner for many years. He retired due to ill health in his early forties and has looked after
his wife, Paula who has been disabled in a wheelchair for the last 11 years.
Patrick began to write 3 years ago. His first book was Shakespeare's Cuthbert and the characters came alive so successfully that it led him to write a series. At the age of around 60 years old, Patrick didn't think that a publisher would take him on so he wrote the whole series of seven books before approaching anyone. Shakespeare's Cuthbert was entered on Authonomy where it attained the Editor's Desk. Unfortunately, as it reached the desk, Patrick had his first stroke and was hospitalised. Cuthbert reached the desk and stayed there thanks to the efforts of a group who referred to themselves as Cuthbert's Cavalry.
After an attempt at e-publishing, we approached Tim Roux of Night Publishing and are now available on the major websites which we hoped for previously. Shakespeare's Cuthbert is available to download to kindle on Amazon.com as well as
Amazon.co.uk. The paperback version will be on sale in branches of Barnes & Noble in the near future.
The books all have their own separate theme but involve the same larger than life
characters who evolve throughout the series. Each is based in a fictional valley where the residents are strangely protective of all rumours concerning the Bard leaving a lost manuscript there. An influx of strangers into the valley searching for this brings them into contact with the even stranger inhabitants, cue farcical situations and potentially murderous misunderstandings.
The books are suitable for all ages and there is no offensive material at all. This is
part of a project to prove that modern humour doesn't have to be the way it is.
Please find following the photograph of us and the new book cover.
Kindest regards
Paula & Patrick

Rue Cler is named after the market street where parents of John and Nathan Vandergrift lived in the 7th Arrondissement of Paris. Opening in October 2006, Rue Cler was the first fine dining establishment to open in Downtown for decades and the first French restaurant to ever cater to Downtown Durham. We are proud to be pioneers of what Food & Wine magazine has dubbed the "foodiest small town in America".
Paris is where John learned to cook in the post-Nouvelle cuisine style in a neighborhood restaurant in the Marais neighborhood of the 3rd Arrondissement. It is also where John and Nathan explored the restaurants, wine bars, bistros, and brasseries of Paris bite by bite and glass by glass, changing their understanding of food and wine forever.
Using our extensive network of regional farmers and fishermen and our close friends in the wine business, we have tried to adapt the experience of a Parisian neighborhood restaurant and to offer a unique dining experience. Our food is inspired by French tradition and seasonal, local produce. The wines we serve are all made by vignerons that we know personally, who themselves love food, and who craft their wine to showcase the specific terroir while harmonizing with the meal. Most of our vignerons practice biodynamic or organic farming.
Our prix fixe dinner menu showcases the freshest ingredients the southeast has to offer, prepared simply and with care, served at a bargain price.
We also serve classic bistro and brasserie dishes á la carte. Our popular lunch and brunch services feature French-styled sandwiches, crêpes, salads, and more.

Ok, so here's the deal:
I'm really unhappy with my chest. I think my jugs are too big, and they embarrass me around my family. People stare. Buttons pop open. God only knows what I'm going to do when I have children.. Jesus..
I know I should be accepting of them, but its hard when they cause me grief.
Breast Reduction Surgery would be ideal, but its hella expensive and would probably interfere with future breast-feeding.
In other news, I might have a new job. Fingers crossed, bitches!

Please stop submitting spam. I'd love submissions related to classic rock though
These past few months have been a slippery slope down into a worsening depression. My grades have slipped as a result, I'm having trouble doing the things I love, my friends and family all see that I've changed and am getting worse. After giving it a lot of thought I realized that when I started getting depressed it was because I wasn't going to be seeing much of my beautiful cats anymore because I am soon entering "the real world" and won't be living with my parents anymore and won't have the opportunity to take my amazing cats with me. I am happy to be called a crazy cat lady because I love them so much and I can honestly say that I don't think I'll feel myself again until I have one to love and care for. Cats have gotten me through the darkest times in my life, when I was in 6th grade I was so lonely at school that I wanted to kill myself. The only reason I didn't follow through was because my cat walked into my room and curled up next to me and stayed with me until I felt loved again.
Today, I went to Petsmart and saw this cat, Cosmo. She is the sweetest cat I've ever met, loves to be around people and is a total lap cat. She is everything I'm looking for right now and I've fallen head over heels in love with her. Before I left the store I promised that I would do whatever I can to adopt her, and I am doing just that.
The only problem right now is that I can't afford the adoption fee of $125 and I can't afford a litter box or cat carrier. Any little contribution will help and I greatly appreciate it.
My friend Jonah Tolchin. He's so incredible and this video and song are so beautiful!

Not really classic rock, but if you like it then please reblog it or show a friend. I don't promote my friend's music unless I am 100% sure that they are really incredible and if I know other people will enjoy listening to them. So please help him get some publicity, it means a lot.
yeah, I know :/ haven't figured out what's wrong with it yet. But you can just type in the URL for a certain band. Just write "/tagged/Artist_Name" after the original URL and it's the same thing as the links in the drop down bar :)
But thank you so much for the love! Greatly appreciated! :D
I'll get back to you all after finals are over. I'm completely swamped with studying and essays and projects and such. Please feel free to leave suggestions in my ask or submission boxes. I'll finish posting Poculum's requests when I finish :)
Rock on

text: Im running a cycle of 1-andro utt xl standalone. Before anyone asks, yes I'm old enough and yes I have a thorough PCT. My confusion comes from the dosing instructions on the bottle. It lists one serving as 1.5ml for 20mg of the compound. However, the original smaller bottles listed 1ml for 20mg of the active compound. They also listed taking two doses per day, where as the XL bottle says to only take one. I was planning on running a higher dosage anyways but am confused about the amount of the active compound I will actually be getting. Help is appreciated.

A couple of weeks ago, I was having a simple lunch with a friend at my house in Tuscany and I decided to go down to my cellar and try some of the older crus bourgeois and petite château Bordeaux that I had lying around. These were just odd bottles that I had had for years in my cellar. In fact, some had been in my cellar in London before I moved to Italy in 1998.
Anyway, I first pulled out a 1989 Château de Pez St.-Estèphe. I pulled the cork and decanted the bottle. The color looked good, but it was CORKED!
Lunch wasn't ready yet, so I went back down to the cellar and I found a bottle of 1989 Château de Rochemorin Pessac-Léognan. The Pessac can be very good in top years, and I remembered liking the 1989. I quickly decanted it. And it was good, but nothing special. Here is my tasting note: Earthy and meaty with some mushroom aromas. Medium body, fruity and simple with good fruit and a light finish. 83 points, non-blind.
That wasn't good enough, even if I was only making a mint omelet with a mixed green salad!
I decided to get two bottles of 1989 crus bourgeois now. I was getting little obsessive about the whole thing, to be honest. I wanted something outstanding for my omelet, and I felt I was letting my friend down.
I found a bottle of 1989 Château Liversan Haut-Médoc and 1989 Château Soudars Haut-Medoc. They both were very good, but still not outstanding. Here are my tasting notes:
1989 Liversan: Aromas of licorice and spice with some sandalwood and berry character. Medium body with fine tannins and a fresh finish. A bit simple but very good now. 87 points, non-blind.
1989 Soudars: A bit thin now with plum and light spice. Some tobacco. Medium to light body with a fresh finish. Not a lot going on . 85 points, non-blind.
I looked at all the bottles on the table, and I thought to myself for a moment. Perhaps crus bourgeois are not really meant to be drunk almost two decades after they were produced? Granted, I have had a number of exceptions, including drinking a 1945 Sénéjac in the late 1980s that some of my London wine trade friends mistook for Latour in a blind tasting. And I love the 1990 Sociando-Mallet at the moment.
But maybe most crus bourgeois and petit châteaus are better consumed in the first ten years of their lives?
Jordan Horoschak — Houston, TX — June 9, 2008 2:39pm ET
James - interesting. So, does this experience make you rethink your views on the maturity window of the smaller chateaux in Bordeaux, even in great vinatges? Some of your latest tasting notes on the wines you tried at home suggest "best after 2005" - maybe we are being too optimistic on their longevity?
James Suckling — — June 9, 2008 3:59pm ET
No. I think that my maturity windows are on the young side anyway. I like my wines a little more aged in general. But may be smaller chateaux, even some well-known crus bourgeois, don't age that well?
Rob Mackay — Santa Cruz — June 9, 2008 5:04pm ET
Too bad the de Pez was corked. That one probably would have been your winner for the night.
James Peterson — San Antonio, Texas — June 9, 2008 6:26pm ET
The latest thing I've had that was cellared for quite some time was the 1995 Chateau Beau-Site St. Estephe. It drinks beautifully after decanting for a while. Your 86-rating note said:
An accessible '95. Pretty, delivering cherry and berry character on nose and palate. Medium-bodied, with medium tannins and a delicate finish. Try after this year.
That year was 1998. I would say it probably rates a few points higher than 86 (most certainly better than the '99 Calon Segur I have which has the same rating and easily as good as the '95 Tronquoy Lalande I recently opened rated 89 points). That said, I'm drinking up the few bottles I have left right now. Why wait when it's drinking so well? Meanwhile, I had my first corked '96 CH L'Enclos not long ago (out of 20+ bottles). Now that is a really delicious wine -- and still drinking beautifully I might add. - Jim
Karl Mark — Geneva, IL. — June 9, 2008 8:33pm ET
James I think your blog does a lot to explain why people seek out Bordeaux wines with a great track record on aging. If only we knew what wine today would be equal to yesterdays 1945 Senejac.
Matt Scott — Honolulu HI — June 10, 2008 4:00am ET
I've found that some of the second labels drink better on the young side. I had a 2003 Pavillon Rouge Du Chateau Margaux and a 2000 Le Petit Cheval within the past two months and found them to be quite approachable. I'm guessing it was a good decision, especially after reading this.
Mark Antonio — Tokyo — June 10, 2008 8:05am ET
James, I presume Paolo Bea didn't allow you to formally taste their wines?
James Suckling — — June 10, 2008 10:08am ET
Why do presume that Mark? Apparently my office didn't get the samples!? Regardless, I also buy samples in wine shops.
Jeffrey Ghi — New York — June 10, 2008 2:39pm ET
I had a 2000 chateau greysac last week and it was totally dead. Devoid of any fruit and body. (like drinking ink water) I remember having it the first year after release and it was at least a decent quaffer. Then again it was only 30$ at the restaurant, but if I was in company of friends, I would have done what you did James and picked up something else.
James Suckling — — June 10, 2008 4:10pm ET
Jeffrey. LOL. Nice description! Ink water. I wonder if it had been stored properly?
William Delaney — Arlington VA — June 10, 2008 4:24pm ET
James, how long should a good second wine like 2000 Carruades or 2000 Pavillon Rouge keep?
James Suckling — — June 10, 2008 4:27pm ET
I had a 1983 Pavillon the other day and it was drinking beautifully. So in great years they can keep almost as long as the gran vin. But I wouldn't wait that long because they don't have the complexity or length of the first wine.
Jimmy Hwang — Atlanta , GA — June 10, 2008 7:23pm ET
James, I am constantly searching for "cheaper" bordeaux, which means none of the big names. However, second and third labels have provided my clients and myself with some fantastic experiences. Fontvillac from St. Emilion is wonderful, the 2003 is drinking beautiful right now and could probably go another few years. It actually beat out 11 other Merlots in a blind tasting I held! The third label from Pichon, Les Gariteaux is like silk in a glass. I've tasted and served the 2000 vintage numerous times, and shows my clients what age can do for a wine. There are shops near mine that specialize in the "Big Boys" so I am constantly on the look out for lesser known chateaux. I can never get enough Bordeaux. One you should look for: Chateaux du Seuil from Cerons. Imported by Robert Chadderdon, the 2003 retails for about $24.99. Cheers! -Marshall Parker
Peter Vangsness — Springfield, MA — June 10, 2008 10:19pm ET
At the risk of swelling your head, James, my experience has been that if the wine received a high rating from the Spectator upon its initial release it aged quite gracefully. This was true of the '89 Cantemerle and '89 Cordeillan Bages my wife and I recently enjoyed with friends. We have had equal success with any second wine that scored well upon release, like the '89 Tourelles. Like you, we prefer some age and aren't scared to try a wine with which we have little experience but learn of a high WS score.
Mark Antonio — Tokyo — June 11, 2008 12:23am ET
James, wildly off topic regarding Paolo Bea - sorry for that! I had thought that their Sagrantino was pretty famous and wondered why they weren't part of the recent tasting. Don't they compare favourably?
Chris Tenggren — Elburn, IL — June 11, 2008 9:59am ET
Not What We Thought They Might Be?!
1989, Still One of My Most Favorite Vintages... for Grand Vins anyway! James, Sorry for the corky Ch¿au de Pez! I think Rob may be correct in that it should have been the right wine for the moment! Clearly Crus Bourgeois is not the same as the Grand Vin in any vintage! I am sure we will likely see the same thing occur with the 2000, 2003 & 2005 vintages, as we did with the 1989, 1990, 1995 & 1996 vintages. In classic/outstanding vintages, we should purchase and enjoy the non-classified offerings (& 2nd labels) during the 8-12 years after release. All while waiting for the Classified Growths to mature into what many of us that enjoy great older Bordeaux (with the right amount of bottle age) can become. Thanks for blogging on this important topic James! It should encourage everyone to check their inventories and visit some of that pre-1998 stuff before it gets to be too late! Maybe with an omelet!
James Suckling — — June 11, 2008 10:34am ET
Mark. It is off topic. But are you the agent for Bea in Japan? Or you sell his wines? I like Bea's wine and I will be tasting his 2003 in a week or two. I gave the 2001 88 points. Apparently, he didn't make a 2002.
Mike Pederson — Mission Viejo — June 11, 2008 12:43pm ET
I recently opened a bottle of 2000 La petite Chaval because I was afraid of letting what could be a great wine go to long. After opening I think that it could have rested several more years, very complex and super smooth and silky. I don't regret opening it, but will always wonder what if? Who knows maybe it was the perfect time. but I now fear that expirience will no doubt lead to letting some other of my other wines like the 2000 labastide Duzac go to long before opening. What's a guy to do. Am I the only one tortured about when to open a bottle?
Mark Antonio — Tokyo — June 11, 2008 9:47pm ET
Not an agent no, just a fan of the style so will be checking out the other Sagrantino's that you wrote about. I couldn't see a tasting note on any Paulo Bea hence the enquiry. Great to know about the 03 thank you. I gather that the grapes in 02 weren't upto standard to make the usual Montefalco and Sagrantino wines so they instead made a blended table wine. I've tried it and it's not too bad. It's great to taste wines like these and see how they develop in bottle. It's a very different style to most of the wines I've tried from northern Italy. Thanks for writing about them!
Henry Kranzler — west hartford, ct — June 12, 2008 8:30am ET
In recent years I have drunk three 1989 Bourdeaux: Pichon-Longueville-Lalande, Clerc Milon and Cos Labory. I found the P-L-L to be good, but not great. The Cos was as good, but the Clerc Milon was the best of the three. I have a P-L-Baron and a Clos L'eglise and plan to drink the Clos soon. Any thoughts about whether to hold onto the P-L-B or should I drink it soon?
Marcel De Vries — Netherlands — June 13, 2008 8:23am ET
I drunk the Mouton Rotschild 1989 some months ago and it was still great. What about the clinet 1989 and Haut brion 1989 must I drink it already?
Harvey Steiman — San Francisco, CA — June 13, 2008 1:28pm ET
As I am working on a story on how Australian wines age, I did a little research on Jim's notes to see what he said about the wines originally vs. what he found when he opened them this time. The Liversan was just a bit tannic in 1999, but less expressive today. That Rochemorin was a heady, Porty wine when tasted before, now light and thin? Sounds like mild corkiness for it (and possibly the Liversan as well), so it's not necessarily the wine but the individual bottles that were disappointing. Drinking them earlier might not have been any more fun. (The Soudars was "ready to drink," according to Jim's published note in 1999, so it's not surprising it's on the downslope nine years later.)
Mr Damian Zaninovich — Bakersfield,Ca — June 18, 2008 11:03pm ET
James,I've enjoyed dozens of petit chateaus bought mostly on futures from the great 2000 vintage based on yours and others recommendations and found these wines to be perfect for drinking on release w/o decanting but I enjoy young vigorous wines.A partial listing of these would include(not all petit chateaus) Cap de Faugeres,Brown,Louviere,Cote de Baleau,Gigault,Clos Chaumont,Siran,Lillian Ladouys,Lannesan,Lamarque,Dauzac,Clos Margalaine,Brisson,Beaumont,Mallescasse,Belgrave,Dame de Montrose,Sarget de Gruaud Larose,Tourelles de Longville,Clos l'Eglise,d'Aighuilhe,Fleur de Bouard,Lynch Moussas,Puygueraud,La Tour Carnet(least favorite,too new world,overextracted?) The only ones I still feel need more aging are Haut Batailley, Haut Bages Liberal and Clos du Marquis(more Cab in the blend?).On the other hand the 2005 vintage is a different animal. These wines no matter the level demand decanting and even that's not a complete solution. Though they are both spectacular vintages they are not similiar, the 05 tannins are ferocious and after attending a wonderful tasting at the Wine Exchange I was dumbfounded how you could taste so many of these wines in such a short period. Thanks for bearing through this long winded response.
Despagne — Bordeaux — June 24, 2008 10:45am ET
I believe there are no exceptional wines but only exceptional bottles.
Bernard Mclaughlin — Chicag,Il — June 29, 2008 12:12pm ET
While reading this blog,I could not stop thinking about a Margaux I drank with a friend last month. 2000 labastide Duzac I could not believe how wonderful this wine was. Buy it with both hands. The second lables of 2000 are ready to show you how great this vintage is!

In its claim to farm-to-fork fame, Sacramento has another distinction to add to its credit: caviar capital of America.
Locals may not know that the Sacramento Valley has become home to the nation's surging caviar industry, as California fish farmers capitalize on a shortage of wild caviar.
This holiday season, Sterling Caviar hopes its home base will discover its gourmet product, coveted by chefs and enjoyed by diners nationwide. It's rolled out new labeling, a new website and a higher profile as another sustainable crop that's Sacramento grown.
"San Francisco, New York, Miami, that's where we sell a lot of caviar," said Enrique Castano, Sterling's managing director. "Sacramento? Not so much. But we hope to change that."
At its Elverta fish farm and processing center, Sterling recently hosted 16 Northern California chefs so they could learn firsthand about the pluses of local, sustainable caviar. In addition, Sterling produces an abundance of caviar's byproduct: farmed sturgeon.
"Think global, act local," said farm manager Peter Struffenegger. "We're the leading U.S. producer of caviar. Internationally, we're known as one of the best alternatives (to wild caviar). This is our identification, yet to most of Sacramento, we're still a best-kept secret."
Sterling caviar already is on the menu as an appetizer or an ingredient at Mulvaney's B&L, Ella Dining Room and the Hyatt Regency in Sacramento. Thomas Keller's famed restaurants Bouchon Bistro and French Laundry in the Napa Valley and Per Se in New York serve Sterling.
"Most people don't even know where caviar comes from," Castano said. "They say they tried it and it was too salty, fishy, yucky but that wasn't good caviar. We're educating chefs and the public."
High-quality caviar is not fishy or overtly salty. Instead, it has a buttery, almost nutty flavor that develops through aging.
Domestic is in demand
Supplier to caviar giant Petrossian, Sterling now accounts for about 80 percent of the domestic caviar market. Its demand has skyrocketed following restrictions on imported wild caviar.
Those bans are intended to protect the dwindling wild sturgeon population. The best caviar comes from sturgeon, an ancient fish that like salmon spawns in fresh water, and then travels out to sea.
Overfishing in the Caspian Sea pushed several species of sturgeon including those that produce Russia's prized beluga caviar to the brink of extinction. Since 2005, the U.S. has banned imports of wild beluga caviar.
California's own green sturgeon is endangered (and an illegal catch). Sport fishing of wild white sturgeon is allowed, but commercial fishing is prohibited.
Native to the Sacramento River, California white surgeon can be farmed successfully in fresh water and actually thrives in controlled conditions.
Farmed caviar has made the delicacy more available and sustainable, a plus for consumers and restaurateurs. Chefs traditionally love caviar. Its complex taste and texture add an exquisite note to haute cuisine. Alone as an appetizer, it symbolizes the ultimate luxury food.
"Caviar plays an extremely important role in my cuisine," Timothy Hollingsworth, who is wrapping up his stint as chef de cuisine at the French Laundry, told the Wall Street Journal. "Russian caviar is, unfortunately, pretty much obsolete. So having an alternative that is local, and sustainable, is simply great."
The switch to domestic caviar has another upside. Besides a growing local supply, prices are lower.
Sterling's caviar is priced at $62 to $88 for 30 grams (about 1 ounce), depending on grade. An ounce of imported Russian Osetra caviar can cost $300 and up.
San Francisco-based Tsar Nicoulai Caviar also farms its product in the Sacramento Valley. An ounce of its California Estate caviar from Wilton-raised sturgeon costs $70.
Location, location
How did Sacramento become the caviar capital? Location and luck.
Struffenegger points to UC Davis. Serge Doroshov, an animal science professor, brought Russian insight to California aquaculture. Doroshov's research and studies on sturgeon helped local farmers get a huge head start on caviar production as an alternative to wild catches.
America's largest freshwater fish, white sturgeon predate humans in the Central Valley. Roaming at sea from the Aleutian Islands to Monterey, they can live for decades and reach mammoth proportions up to 20 feet long and more than 1,000 pounds. They return to the river to spawn.
Covered with bony armor, sturgeon have a serpentlike appearance that make them the "monsters" of the Delta. They've changed little in 175 million years.
"We really don't know how long they can live," Struffenegger said. "We know they can live to be 70 or 80 years old, but in the depth of the river, it could be 400 years. They have no natural aging process."
Sterling got its original breeding stock just a few fish from the Sacramento River with permission from the state's Department of Fish and Wildlife.
"It's technology at work," said Fish and Wildlife's Randy Lovell. "These farms take pressure off the wild catch. When you consider how long it takes these fish to reproduce, they're very vulnerable."
Sturgeon thrive in warm groundwater, which at Sterling's hatchery stays at 65 to 75 degrees.
"It's an eternal summer for these fish," Struffenegger said. "People ask, what's our secret? Our fish have a much easier life."
With an excellent diet and human help, the huge fish reach maturity in half the time.
"In the wild, they're bottom feeders they'll eat anything," Struffenegger explained. "They have tough winters when they struggle for food and don't grow. Here, it's like they have two summers in every year. They're always growing."
Slow food in big tanks
The proof swims in large above-ground tanks, sheltered in warehouses 15 miles north of downtown Sacramento. Leaping and splashing, thousands of sturgeon swim circles around 40-foot tanks, 9 feet deep. They're separated by age, size and eventually sex.
"They have a hierarchy," Struffenegger said. "The biggest ones lurk down at the bottom."
No matter their swim speed, these fish are slow food. It takes three years to determine which fish are male or female. Caviar is harvested from fully mature females, usually at age 10.
Only the biggest and best females will become caviar mamas. (The others: smoked sturgeon.)
Harvested in spring, the eggs typically make up 20 to 25 percent of a fish's weight. A 100-pounder can yield 20 or more pounds of caviar. Like dark pearls of tapioca, the eggs can range in color from olive green to obsidian black. Salt is added as a preservative.
Lucy Bowman, Sterling's quality control expert, tastes caviar from every fish harvested. That was about 3,000 spoonfuls this year.
"At 40 calories a tablespoon, it adds up," joked the 27-year-old Louisiana native. "That's why I work out a lot.
"Not many people have this job," she added. "Even my mama can't believe it."
Every fish at Sterling is numbered and tracked; so is its Sacramento-grown caviar. "We know everything about that fish," Castano said. "We bred it, we raised it, we harvested it. We know that it's sustainable. You can't say that about wild caviar."
Caviar basics
Always serve caviar with a nonmetallic utensil such as a traditional mother-of-pearl or enamel spoon. Caviar picks up the metallic taste of silver or stainless steel. Plastic is OK in a pinch.
Crustless plain toast points, black Russian rye bread or blini (little pancakes) make the best accompaniment to caviar. They're softer and allow you to burst the fish eggs on the roof of your mouth the key to enjoying caviar's full flavor.
If serving crackers with caviar, go for water crackers or others without strong flavors that may compete with the caviar.
Caviar must be kept ice cold, but not frozen. Ideally, it's stored at 26 degrees (just above its freezing temperature). Home refrigerators are too warm, but freezers are too cold. To store with the proper chill, wrap the jar or tin of caviar inside a sealed plastic bag and put it in a bowl of ice inside the refrigerator. Change the ice as it melts.
A little taste goes a long way. One tablespoon is 40 calories, two-thirds from fat. Use caviar as a garnish to seafood or egg dishes. Don't cook caviar; the eggs will burst.
Sterling Caviar is available locally at stores such as Corti Brothers and Taylor's Market, and online at www.sterlingcaviar.com. A blini recipe and others can be found there, too.

Bombardier Aerospace welcomes AirVolga (Volga AviaExpress) of Volgograd, Russia to the CRJ aircraft family. At a news conference Friday in Volgograd, the airline announced that it is preparing to start service with two previously owned CRJ200 LR regional jets acquired from a third party. AirVolga has stated that the CRJ200 LR aircraft are part of a strategy to modernize its fleet, and that they may acquire additional previously owned Bombardier 50-seat regional jets.
CRJ 200 File Photo
From AirVolga's hub at Volgograd International Airport, the CRJ200 LR aircraft will initially fly within Russia, and to Armenia, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates.
Powered by two General Electric CF34-3B1 turbofan engines, AirVolga's CRJ200 LR aircraft can cruise at speeds up to Mach 0.81 (534 mph), with a maximum range with 50 passengers of 1,752 miles. The aircraft are certified to fly up to an altitude of 41,000 feet. The CRJ200 aircraft's excellent operating economics and the benefits of commonality within the CRJ aircraft family provide customers with operational flexibility and cost savings potential.
Launched in March 1989, Bombardier's CRJ Series family of airliners is now the world's bestselling regional aircraft program, and has recorded 1,688 firm orders from more than 50 customers in Africa, the Americas, the Asia-Pacific region, Europe and the Middle East. As of April 30, 2009, Bombardier had delivered 1,542 CRJ Series (including 1,021 CRJ100/200/440) aircraft to customers.

COLORADO CITY — Mitchell County Sheriff Patrick Toombs said Monday that the investigation into the disappearance of teenager Hailey Dunn includes information in a letter sent by a female inmate in an Odessa corrections facility to her sister in Abilene.
Toombs said law enforcement has had possession of the letter "not quite two months" and has been checking out its validity. However, "no body has been found, no bones have been found," he said.
Toombs verified the contents of the letter that described a teenage girl being taken in Colorado City as part of a drug-related situation. The letter said the girl was moved to Odessa, where she died of an accidental overdose of drugs to keep her sedated, and her body buried in West Texas, Toombs said of the letter's content.
The girl is not named in the letter.
He said his office, Colorado City police, the FBI, the 32nd Judicial District attorney's office and Texas Rangers have pored over the letter and interviewed those who might be familiar with its contents.
"So far, nothing has come out of it," Toombs said, adding, "If there had been a big break," information would have been released to the public.
"There hasn't been something we felt very good about" to release news, he said. "Nothing viable to make for a public release.
"We're not going to say no to anything. They've looked at it but there has been no big break. No truth has come out of (the letter)" to substantiate a solid lead to the whereabouts of Dunn, dead or alive, he said.
Dunn was reported missing Dec. 28, 2010, by her mother, Billie Jean Dunn, who now lives in Austin. Her live-in boyfriend at the time, Shawn Adkins, claims to have seen Hailey headed Dec. 27 to her father's house, with plans to spend the night with a friend. Neither Clint Dunn, Hailey's father, nor her friend's family reported seeing Hailey that day.
The case has made national news and outside organizations have lent their expertise and support to finding the middle school student and cheerleader, who was in seventh grade at the time of her disappearance. She would be a Colorado High School freshman this school year.
Volunteer searches, billboards and the arrival of a psychic produced no new leads. Most recently, private investigator Mac Sanford of Houston offered his services at no cost.
Toombs said he hoped some clue, wherever it came from, would help turn the case.
"The bottom line is getting this case solved," he said.

He scored 125 points, ranking him fourth amongst his new teammates.
"It's a great accomplishment for Kyle to be selected to the Junior World Team," NMU Nordic skiing coach Sten Fjeldheim said. "He's worked very hard this season and he deserves it."
Bratrud had two top 10 finishes in the junior races. He finished second in the 10-kilometer classic on Jan. 6, scoring 80 points. In the 15K freestyle on Jan. 4, Bratrud scored 45 points with a fifth place finish.
He started the meet with a 16th place finish in the classic sprint on Jan. 2.
29 Wildcats have been selected to the Junior World Team under Fjeldheim.
Current NMU skier junior George Cartwright was the most selection in 2011.
Logan Hanneman (University of Alaska Fairbanks), Benjamin Saxton (FAST Performance Training), Tucker McCrerey (University of Utah), Sawyer Kesselheim and Forest Mahlen (APU Nordic Ski Center) are Bratrud's teammates.

For another perspective, here is a comment from Phil in Oregon that was attached to a July 21, 2012 New York Times op-ed column on the Aurora massacre:
"From the dim recesses of my memory, I remember a distant lecture from my medical school days about public violence and mass killings...
"Every culture across the globe has a history of young or middle aged men snapping and lashing out in the most extreme ways. The word I remember is "berzerk" which is a variant of bazaar, the place where traditionally, most of these events occur. In Indonesia they have things called berzerker poles so that the violent person could be subdued at a distance. Over the centuries, the weapon of choice in these moments of berzerk-ness has been a machete. The Indonesian response to these berzerk events is much different than the America response; for one, they are more tolerant...
"The use of guns in these moments is not an exclusive function of living in America, but it is a function of availability and opportunity. Guns are not central to the moment of violent expression.
"Tying gun control to these acts of desperation will only muddy the water when it comes to dealing with a society that is willing to tolerate the uncaring destruction of random individual's dreams, hopes and aspirations."

Now we will see types of statistical models;
Generally there are two types of statistical model:
1. Lognormal statistical model;
2. Log Linear Regression model.
Here will see brief introduction about both the statistical model:
First we see lognormal statistical model:
Lognormal regression models are based on the statement that the natural Logarithm of Pi follows a normal distribution with Mean μi and variance G2. In other words, it is understood that Pi follows a lognormal distribution, a choice whenever the data is
non - negative, signifying that a model with positive skew is needed and the mean is relatively large.
In this case, the relationship between the expected number of accidents at the ith intersection and the 'q' predictor variables R1,...,Rq, can be given as:
Log (ui) = β0 + β1 Ri1 + β2 Ri2 +……+ βq Riq;
And in the multiplication form it can be written as:
ui = exp (β0) exp (β1 Ri1) exp (β2 Ri1)…… exp (βq Riq);
Where, log is the normal distribution with mean μi and variance.
Now we will see log linear regression model;
The two log linear models are measured for application: the Poisson and the negative binomial models. The general forms are as follows:
The relationship between the estimated number of accidents happening at the i th Intersection and the 'q' intersection parameters, Ri1, Ri2... Riq, is assumed to be of the same form in the equation:
Log (μi) = β0 + β1 Ri1 + β2 Ri2 +……+ βq Riq.
Here 'pi' follows a Position distribution with the mean μi.
In the negative binomial model the mean value is equal to the variance of the distribution.

Girl, vehicle hit with baseball bat in felony menacing case

Posted: 11/23/2012
Last Updated:
377 days ago
WESTMINSTER, Colo. - Westminster Police are investigating a felony menacing incident that happened early Friday morning.
Officers said they were called out to 92nd Avenue and Lowell Boulevard at 1 a.m. on a disturbance.
When officers arrived, they said they found a vehicle with windows broken out. Officers also said they found a girl who had possibly been hit by a baseball bat. She had apparently been targeted by the suspects.
The girl was taken to the hospital.
Officers said as they arrived in the area, they saw a van matching the description of the suspect vehicle leaving the area.
Officers attempted to stop the van and the vehicle fled, police said.
Investigations said the van stopped on its own in the 1300 block of Peoria Street in Aurora and the occupants ran.
Westminster Police said two people were taken into custody and they are looking for two more.
An adult male was held on charges related to the felony menacing. A juvenile male was released to his parent.
"At this time we are looking for at least one more male subject, and Westminster Detectives are working to obtain a warrant for his arrest," police said in a news release. "The male suspect and juvenile victim in this case did have a prior relationship, and we do know the female victim was targeted by the male."
The female victim is a juvenile; she was treated at a local hospital and was released.
"Due to the ongoing investigation, we are not releasing names or booking photos associated with this case," police said.

Absolutely brilliant, especially the composition - just great!
Ann, I'm so impressed with this image, its beautifully captured. If your hands are up to it could you send a private message, giving a bit of background to how you took the shot. Did you use fill in flash at the time and post production did you use a software package to enhance. I've got the same equipment as you used but don't seem to achieve this kind of portrature.
Take care.
Excellent Ann the skin tones as superb and the lighting spot on nice portrait well worth having framed
Hi Ann,
A cracking portrait that just needs a little crop from the right. This young lady is looking her best and should be shown off in the same way (in my opinion) So a crop from the right and a touch of selective exposure to brighten her up a bit works well in my eyes. See what you think.
Take care
A charming and natural portrait Ann, definitely one to be proud of

With much of that $700 billion in bailout cash accounted for (only $60 billion that remains uncommitted), one would think that groveling at the well-monied feet of Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson would be a fine way to acquire some of that cash — you'd be wrong.
Instead, businesses and lobbyists need to make their way on down to the Lone Star State and visit with a very powerful cowboy. Jeb Mason, the Treasury's 32-year-old liaison to the business community, is who you need to see to get your "NO!"
The lanky Texan, who once worked for Karl Rove, is the front-line man behind the purse strings. And his power in this time of economic uncertainty is well documented.
"Jeb is like the customer service agent at Verizon when the power lines go down," said Robert S. Nichols, president of the Financial Services Forum, a trade group for big institutions like Citigroup, Fidelity and Allstate Insurance, some of which have received federal money."
We'll excuse Nichols for the mixed association (Verizon = phone lines, we Southeast Texans know a little something about lost power), but the point is clear: when it comes to getting a piece of the Federal pie, don't mess with Texas. If you do, Jeb will just talk to the next glad-hander.
"Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of good news for them individually," said Mason, who shook his head over the dozens of phone calls and e-mail messages he gets every week. "I was telling a friend, 'this must have been how the Politburo felt.'"
Brother, can you spare a million?

It was there for the taking today for the Notre Dame High School boys basketball team today.
The matchup appeared favorable, the experience appeared to be a plus and the Nikes were facing a team that hadn't been to state since it consolidated in 1976.
Yet, once again, the season ended before it was supposed to.
Dismal perimeter shooting and Laurens-Marathon's rebounding added up to another tough-to-swallow loss at the state tournament.
There was no deer-in-headlights this year, no apparent jitters. Just a game that barely had a margin for error once the shots starting hitting the back iron, hit the side rim or missed all together.
Notre Dame had torched so many teams this year with its 3-point shooting that it's almost mind-boggling how it goes awry at the state tournament. Though depth perception is probably somewhat of a factor, but all teams that shoot threes go through that. It must be more than that.
It's depressing to see teams work so hard all season and overcome big odds in the postseason, only to see it unravel at the state tournament.
It's a sad way to end a season, indeed, but tough to make it to state two years in a row.
For that, the Nikes deserve plenty of credit.

A good morning to you all in Europe. And to the rest of you who are sleeping, I'll try to be quiet. ;)
Listening to My Story, of course. "Air of Love" is playing at the moment.
Just wanted to post the link to the interview we heard yesterday.
Original article in Swedish.
Google translation.
The interview was about 30-40 minutes long and, as you see, the article is just a short, short, short snippet of what they talked about. It's interesting to me how little is really written from a long interview like that one. They talked about several subjects and several subjects didn't even get a mention.
We see so little of what is happening in the background from our side. Interesting.

But if you started explaining the meta-setup for the game in the third paragraph as if we didn't already know who Duke Nukem is, it would have been more effective, I think. Would have broken things up a bit as well. "Blabla, titular hero created at Epic labs", etc.. |
I was pretty sure that DNF at the very least would be a letdown to some and quite possibly to most. I suppose I didn't expect it to suck as bad as the reviews almost universally appear to point out. Even development hell can hardly excuse what happened here. |
Good review. This is pretty much getting bashed everywhere, though fans of the original games (especially 3D) aren't completely hating it. It's a poor game either way, but if you're a fan of the old games I hear it's a poor game that is still somewhat amusing and worth checking out (perhaps for a reduced price). |
I just picked this game up today. Looking forward to playing it! |
Oh, goodie! Another new game to add to the "bargain bin only" list. |
Duke Nukem Forever is a cicada. Spends 14 years underground, and when it finally emerges, it lives for a short time and then dies. |
^^^ And it's ugly and horrible. I rented this game last night to satisfy my morbid curiosity. |
Regarding the comment Duke made at the top of the building. In Texas they have a joke regarding restrooms, that all the men's urinals are hung low to the ground. This is a reference to the size and length of the men's "equipment" in Texas. They need lots of room to "swing" so to speak. The Duke standing on top of a building in Vegas stating he can see his entire dick up there is likely a reference. This is actually funny if you get the reference, as are most jokes. However, it looks like the joke is on us for this game. Too bad. Would have loved to have bought a quality retro package. Retro garbage is not worth it. --JokerRulez |
If that particular joke is from Texas, then how is Duke's line a reference to that if he's in Vegas (which is in Nevada)? |
The location has nothing to do with the joke. Not much of a joke either, though I believe that is the reference they were shooting for. --JokerRulez |
I hope you rented it at a redbox, Suskie, so you didn't waste too much money. |
Sorry. I know this has nothing to do with the topic, but is there a way I can get rid of the ugly cheetos? |
Click the ugly cheetos to open new ugly avatar options. |
Nice. Thank you. |
Suckiness is really sucky. I cannot express enough how disappointed I am that this game is terrible. It's so cliche to release a terrible game after years in production hell. I just wish that, for once, production hell would actually be worth it. Like Batman Begins. That was worth the wait for another batman film. |

After so many years of writing about Utah State athletics, whether it be for The Refraction, The Bull Sheet, The Utah Statesman, The Deseret News, Utah State University athletic media relations or general terrorizing of message boards all over the internet, there had to be somewhere "That guy on the front row" could go to still write about USU athletics after making the tragic mistake of graduation. That place is now The Sagebrush Spot.
What kind of true-blooded Aggie from Utah could say in their right mind that they don't love The Sagebrush Spot? I don't know, and I don't want to know. What I do know is that there are a lot of rumors that fly around both Logan and the internet about Utah State athletics. There's also a lot of analysis to be had and educated opinions to be shared. All things USU, you can find at The Sagebrush Spot, told in the same voice from "that guy" who has been telling it for a long time now... In other words, it's great to be back.
You might come across some harsh takes here, maybe even a bad word or two once in a while and possibly stuff you would disagree with. After all, these are just one man's takes and opinions on matters. You might also come across plenty of things and reference to things I love. Historical comparisons, jokes relating to pop culture, and Remember The Titans references will be abundant on this site.
I hope you enjoy it. And if you don't, I hope you have the balls to speak up and tell me you think I'm an asshole. But at that point if you don't like the site, the value I place on your opinion will already have bottomed out.
Go Aggies!!!

No Depression, the bi-monthly, American roots music rag that practically dictated the course of alt-country / Americana music for the last 13 years will be no more after it's May-June issue hits the streets. The announcement came in the form of a note from publishers Grant Alden, Peter Blackstock and Kyla Fairchild in this issue of the magazine currently in the mail to subscribers:
Dear Friends:
Barring the intercession of unknown angels, you hold in your hands the next-to-the-last edition of No Depression we will publish. It is difficult even to type those words, so please know that we have not come lightly to this decision.
In the thirteen years since we began plotting and publishing No Depression, we have taken pride not only in the quality of the work we were able to offer our readers, but in the way we insisted upon doing business. We have never inflated our numbers; we have always paid our bills (and, especially, our freelancers) on time. And we have always tried our best to tell the truth.
First things, then: If you have a subscription to ND, please know that we will do our very best to take care of you. We will be negotiating with a handful of magazines who may be interested in fulfilling your subscription. That is the best we can do under the circumstances.
Those circumstances are both complicated and painfully simple. The simple answer is that advertising revenue in this issue is 64% of what it was for our March- April issue just two years ago. We expect that number to continue to decline.
The longer answer involves not simply the well-documented and industry wide reduction in print advertising, but the precipitous fall of the music industry. As a niche publication, ND is well insulated from reductions in, say, GM's print advertising budget; our size meant they weren't going to buy space in our pages, regardless.
On the other hand, because we're a niche title we are dependent upon advertisers who have a specific reason to reach our audience. That is: record labels. We, like many of our friends and competitors, are dependent upon advertising from the community we serve.
That community is, as they say, in transition. In this evolving downloadable world, what a record label is and does is all up to question. What is irrefutable is that their advertising budgets are drastically reduced, for reasons we well understand. It seems clear at this point that whatever businesses evolve to replace (or transform) record labels will have much less need to advertise in print.
The decline of brick and mortar music retail means we have fewer newsstands on which to sell our magazine, and small labels have fewer venues that might embrace and hand-sell their music. Ditto for independent bookstores. Paper manufacturers have consolidated and begun closing mills to cut production; we've been told to expect three price increases in 2008. Last year there was a shift in postal regulations, written by and for big publishers, which shifted costs down to smaller publishers whose economies of scale are unable to take advantage of advanced sorting techniques.
Then there's the economy…
The cumulative toll of those forces makes it increasingly difficult for all small magazines to survive. Whatever the potentials of the web, it cannot be good for our democracy to see independent voices further marginalized. But that's what's happening. The big money on the web is being made, not surprisingly, primarily by big businesses.
ND has never been a big business. It was started with a $2,000 loan from Peter's savings account (the only monetary investment ever provided, or sought by, the magazine). We have five more or less full-time employees, including we three who own the magazine. We have always worked from spare bedrooms and drawn what seemed modest salaries.
What makes this especially painful and particularly frustrating is that our readership has not significantly declined, our newsstand sell-through remains among the best in our portion of the industry, and our passion for and pleasure in the music has in no way diminished. We still have shelves full of first-rate music we'd love to tell you about.
And we have taken great pride in being one of the last bastions of the long-form article, despite the received wisdom throughout publishing that shorter is better. We were particularly gratified to be nominated for our third Utne award last year.
Our cards are now on the table.
Though we will do this at greater length next issue, we should like particularly to thank the advertisers who have stuck with us these many years; the writers, illustrators, and photographers who have worked for far less than they're worth; and our readers: You.
Thank you all. It has been our great joy to serve you.
Well, I guess the only thing left to say is: who's next?
