Homeowners meet to discuss Christ Church plans
Date: November 5, 2009
by: Robin Hartill | Community Editor
About 50 members of Sleepy Lagoon Homeowners Association met Wednesday, Nov. 4, at Whitney Beach Deli and Wines, to discuss the Christ Church of Longboat Key, Presbyterian's plan to build a 15,000-square-foot church in the 6400 block of Gulf of Mexico Drive.
Jules Rauch, a member of the homeowners association, presented a project review to the group, and said that his primary concerns are parking, drainage and landscaping.
Rauch said the current plan calls for 59 parking spaces plus six disabled parking spots, lower than the required 93 parking spaces and six disabled spaces. The plan calls for 16 additional on-street parking spaces on General Harris Street. Rauch argued that, if the church grows, parking could spread to other streets in the neighborhood.
The association also circulated a petition from homeowners on Lyons Lane, General Harris Street and Norton Street to Southwest Florida Water Management District asking it to deny the storm-water design permit application. The petition says that the drainage discharge would go into a canal in back of their homes.
Rauch said the homeowners association is not opposed to the church's plans to build in Sleepy Lagoon.
"We do not oppose the church," he said. "We welcome the church into the community."

Police Corruption and Misconduct (West's Encyclopedia of American Law)
The violation of state and federal laws or the violation of individuals' constitutional rights by police officers; also when police commit crimes for personal gain.
Police misconduct and corruption are abuses of police authority. Sometimes used interchangeably, the terms refer to a wide range of procedural, criminal, and civil violations. Misconduct is the broadest category. Misconduct is "procedural" when it refers to police who violate police department rules and regulations; "criminal" when it refers to police who violate state and federal laws; "unconstitutional" when it refers to police who violate a citizen's CIVIL RIGHTS; or any combination thereof. Common forms of misconduct are excessive use of physical or DEADLY FORCE, discriminatory arrest, physical or verbal harassment, and selective enforcement of the law.
Police corruption is the abuse of police authority for personal gain. Corruption may involve profit or another type of material benefit gained illegally as a consequence of the officer's authority. Typical forms of corruption include BRIBERY, EXTORTION, receiving or fencing stolen goods, and selling drugs. The term also refers to patterns of misconduct within a given police department or special unit, particularly where offenses are repeated with the acquiescence of superiors or through other ongoing failure to correct them.

"It was — note the past tense — the worst housing recession anyone but survivors of the Great Depression can remember.
From the frenzied peak of the real estate boom in 2005-2006 to the recession's trough earlier this year, home resales fell 38 percent and sales of new homes tumbled 76 percent. Construction of homes and apartments skidded 79 percent. And for the first time in more than four decades of record keeping, home prices posted consecutive annual declines.
A staggering $4 trillion in home equity was wiped out, and millions of Americans lost their homes through foreclosure.
Now take a deep breath and exhale. The worst is over."
Read the rest here:
This was on Yahoo! News. You know people are reading it and gobbling it up. I know the market will remain flat and on the bottom for some time to come, at least here in Southern California. But, I bet some fence sitters are going to start jumping into the housing market sometime soon.
This does not bode well for those who are calling a return to 80's prices in the Westside of Los Angeles, you know the one's who say that $400 will get you a 3000 square foot house on a 15000 square foot lot in Santa Monica, north of Montana. :P

For one day, a classroom in Whalley where new immigrants learn the English language turned into a "Kindness Bazaar" hosted by a group of local grandmothers.
On Valentine's Day - in the middle of Random Acts of Kindness week - kind members of the Oneness Gogos of White Rock/Surrey filled the space at Umoja Newcomers Family Services Centre with new and gently-used blankets, bedding, clothing, toys, food and other items for clients of the facility to take home, for free.
Edith, a woman originally from Nigeria, eagerly filled a black garbage bag with jackets, shoes, a top and some toys.
"It's a special day," she said. "I'm finding a lot of things I need."
For three years, Edith has been attending classroom sessions and activities at Umoja, which offers a wide range of services and programs to immigrants and refugees - everything from banking skills to childcare. People from 32 countries come to the facility, at 10025 Whalley Blvd.
"This is usually the literacy classroom, on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Friday," said Sonia Oni, program co-ordinator at Umoja. "The clients are very happy about this. It's a special thing for them."
For the "Kindness Bazaar," a lottery system was employed to give Umoja clients a chance to choose from the donated items, four people at a time starting at 10 a.m.
A couple dozen members of Oneness Gogos, including Debbie Riopel, contributed goods to the cause.
"We came in last night and set all this up," Riopel said with a smile. "We're doers. We love the work we do, and this is just extra special because we get to see the faces of the people we're helping, and get to know them a little."
The Oneness Gogos, under the auspices of Stephen Lewis Foundation, typically work to assist grandmothers in Africa, home to millions of so-called "AIDS orphans."
The event in Whalley was a chance for the group to help people much closer to home, with a few weeks of planning.
"It's random in the fact that this is something we've never done before, and may never do again," said Penny Cuddy, another Oneness Gogos member. "The idea just kind of came out of the blue."

Using a Squid proxy with HTTPS
Squid in the Middle
How do you monitor the network when your client systems are connecting to secure web servers through HTTPS? We'll show you how to keep watch using the Squid proxy server and share some inventive certificate tricks.
Network- and host-based intrusion detection is pretty much a mandatory requirement now if you want to keep your network under control. Back in the good old days, when your Internet connection was a dial-up link (for the entire company), you could just keep software up to date, install a firewall, and call it a day.
Since then, things have changed significantly. Almost all computers are now attached to the Internet all the time. Most of these computers are behind firewalls and NAT-based systems – so they can use the Internet, but the Internet can't initiate connections to them. This strategy worked pretty well until clients started using prodigious amounts of data from the Internet, especially the World Wide Web and email. Now, to add insult to injury, almost all web and email clients include JavaScript support and newer technologies like HTML5 and web sockets.

Born in 1981 in northern England a few days shy of Halloween, Riseborough was an inveterate people watcher from a young age. Keenly aware of her socio-economic status -- her father worked as a car salesman, and her mother was employed as both a secretary and beautician -- the young Riseborough closely observed those around her. Though she did well in the private school her parents placed her in, which they were able to afford thanks to the economic boom England enjoyed in the 1980s, she eventually dropped out and worked a number of odd jobs, including managing a Chinese restaurant, as a way to gain experience outside school walls. Her family lost everything in the early '90s recession, and their resulting hardship supplied another experience for her to draw from.
Her interest in acting led her to enroll at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London, and after graduating from the internationally-renowned school in 2005, she quickly jumped from stage to screen with supporting roles in everything from the BBC made-for-TV movie "A Very Social Secretary" (2005) to the feature film "Venus" (2006), starring Peter O'Toole as a nearly-forgotten actor who becomes a mentor to his wild-child granddaughter. In 2006 she won a prestigious young actor's award for her work in the Royal Shakespeare Company productions of the Swedish "Miss Julie" and "Measure for Measure," one of Shakespeare's not-quite-comedy, not-quite-drama "problem plays." A year later she was cast in a breakout role on "Party Animals" as Kirsty, a political researcher not above using her feminine charms to rise to the top. It was that mix of dogged ambition and steely calculating that led to her being cast as a young Margaret Thatcher in the BAFTA-nominated "The Long Walk to Finchley," which chronicled the future Prime Minister's decade-long battle to win a Parliamentary seat. Her intense preparation and commitment to the character has since proved to be one of Riseborough's greatest strengths.
The film, which skirted controversy by avoiding Thatcher's politics and focusing on feminist ideals, also marked a stretch of challenging performances for Riseborough. In 2010 she was featured as a sewing factory machinist in "Made in Dagenham," based on the 1968 female employee-led protests that shut down a Ford sewing factory and led to the Equal Pay Act of 1970. That same year she turned in a harrowing performance as a naive waitress in "Brighton Rock," which could not have been farther from her confident turn as Simpson in the critically dismissed "W.E." She next portrayed a defiant housewife in the alternate-reality World War II drama "Resistance" (2011), and appeared opposite Clive Owen in the critically-acclaimed "Shadow Dancer" as an IRA member whose attempt to leave the deadly organization leaves her paralyzed with fear. In 2013 she appeared in the cat-and-mouse thriller "Welcome to the Punch," and later made her U.S. debut with her role as Tom Cruise's aloof supervisor in the aptly named "Oblivion."

Polish international Jakub Blaszczykowski's shot from outside the box might have sailed harmlessly over the bar in the 10th minute, but it signaled the start of an impressive spell.
Lewandowski, much sought after, made a fine run inside the box before he ran out of room and was unable to deliver a cross.
A minute later, Lewandowski's curled effort from distance was comfortably pushed over the bar by Bayern keeper Manuel Neuer.
Neuer, the German No. 1, would be busy in the next 10 minutes, stopping Blaszczykowski with his legs from close range -- his best save of the evening -- keeping out Marco Reus' left-footed strike and thwarting Sven Bender.
Neuer was unusually busy, since he averaged a mere two saves per game all season.
Such was Bayern's frustration that winger Franck Ribery used an arm to cast aside Lewandowski. Former Liverpool manager Graeme Souness, an analyst for British television, said Ribery deserved a red card.
Italian referee Nicola Rizzoli, however, didn't even show him a yellow. Rizzoli would be in the spotlight later.
Bayern finally worked its way into the game midway in the half.
Ribery found himself in space on the left and put in an inviting cross for striker Mandzukic -- who started ahead of German international Gomez. His header was tipped over the bar by Roman Weidenfeller.
On the ensuing corner, midfielder Javi Martinez leapt the highest, though his header didn't hit the target.
Now Weidenfeller was busy.
He made himself big to deny Robben and near the end of the half, defender Mats Hummels misjudged a ball in the air to hand the alert Robben a second chance. Weidenfeller utilized his face to keep the match scoreless at the interval.
Dortmund didn't start as well in the second half, yet wasn't put under any pressure by Bayern.
That changed in the 59th minute, when Mandzukic's header fell straight to Weidenfeller. The shot was tame, but Dortmund's frailty in the air was again exposed.
Bayern took the lead a minute later, as Robben finally dealt with Weidenfeller.
When Weidenfeller charged off his line, Robben went around the German and sent a low cross to Mandzukic, who had the simplest of tap ins.
Bayern was on its way. Or was it?
Needing to stay tight at the back for the next 10 minutes, Bayern defender Dante gave Dortmund a lifeline. He completely missed his clearance in the box and kicked Reus in the stomach.
Rizzoli awarded Dortmund the penalty, but Dante -- already booked -- didn't receive a second yellow.
Stopped three weeks ago by Neuer on a penalty, Lewandowski gave way to IIkay Gundogan. The diminutive midfielder sent Neuer the wrong way in the 68th.
Bayern fans must have thought it was déjà vu, especially when Dortmund defender Neven Subotic made a last-ditch clearance with Robben about to pounce from a yard out.
Both teams continued to press forward, and Weidenfeller dived to his left to stop David Alaba. Rizzoli waived play on when Thomas Muller felt he was impeded by Subotic, the last man, but Bayern's angst didn't last long.
With Dortmund's defense unable to clear, Robben waltzed into the box and deftly wrong-footed Weidenfeller.
It was redemption for Robben and Bayern.

10 Dec, 12:23
Ireland's John Lacey will referee his first ever RBS 6 Nations match in February, while Alain Rolland is also included in the Elite Panel in what is his last season.
"With a short six-day turnaround, the focus in the early part of this week is about nursing knocks and reintegrating players back into the group as a number of players haven't had much game-time in recent weeks," said head coach Joe Schmidt.
"It can be easy to allow your mind to drift because January is shaping up to be a big month for us in the context of the season across both competitions, but we're very much focused on Edinburgh and what is sure to be another stiff test this weekend."
Andrew Conway received a dead leg when competing for a ball in the air during last Saturday's derby victory over Connacht. It is anticipated that he will be fit to train during the week and available for the trip to Edinburgh.
Richardt Strauss is expected to return to the fray over the coming weeks and Shane Jennings, who was a late withdrawal from last Saturday's line-up due to illness, is expected to return.
Jennings could be joined by a number of other Ireland internationals - such as Cian Healy, Jamie Heaslip, Sean O'Brien and Jonathan Sexton - who were unavailable last weekend.
Kevin McLaughlin, meanwhile, was rested as a precaution after sustaining a shoulder knock against Ulster the previous weekend and is also expected to be in the mix.
Isa Nacewa is also set to return either this week or next after suffering deep tissue bruising to his arm in the recent Heineken Cup round 5 clash with Clermont Auvergne.
In a further boost, second row Mark Flanagan, who has been unavailable since undergoing a back operation in July, is set to be available for Clontarf in the Ulster Bank League this weekend - they face a derby trip to St. Mary's College.
Commenting on this weekend's opponents, Schmidt added: "We know from experience how difficult it is to win over in Edinburgh.
"A lot of our players have played under Michael (Bradley) at different levels for Connacht, the Wolfhounds or with the Ireland senior squad when he took interim charge a few years back - and all speak highly of him.
"Games between ourselves and Edinburgh are always tight affairs. We narrowly beat them earlier in the campaign in the RDS (22-16) and it was nip and tuck last season over at Murrayfield when we managed to come out on the right side of a contest that see-sawed right up until the finish (36-28).
"They have a big abrasive set of forwards and proven international performers throughout. With a player like Tim Visser in their ranks, who is racing clear at the top of the try-scoring charts again this year, we can't afford any defensive lapses.
"Greig Laidlaw controls the game for them at either scrum half or out-half and they have a number of very effective ball carriers led by the likes of Dave Denton and Netani Talei."

6th Grade Oral Language Resources
Content Objectives
Students will:
• Learn about mentors.• Access prior knowledge and build background about people in their lives who are mentors and what they do.
• Explore and apply the concept of the goals mentors help a person achieve and how to choose an appropriate mentor.
Language Objectives
Students will:
• Demonstrate an understanding of the definition of mentor.• Orally use words to differentiate between mentors and other types of teachers or role models.
• Extend oral vocabulary by speaking about how mentors help people.
• Use key concept words [mentor, guidance, goal, interest, hobby, coach, teacher, boss, parent].
• Use the slideshow to review the key concept words.• Explain that students are going to learn about mentors:
• What makes someone a mentor.
• What subjects a mentor may teach.
• The difference between being a mentor and being a teacher.
• What kinds of people are mentors.
• After the host introduces the slideshow, point to the photo on screen. Ask students: What kind of person could make a good mentor? (teachers, relatives, coaches, etc.),• Ask students: What are some types of goals a mentor can help you with? (virtually anything; playing a sport, playing a musical instrument, learning to paint)
• Say: Mentors are people who guide, support, and advise others. Mentors are people we look up to. What is the main difference between a mentor and a regular teacher? (teachers teach you things you have to learn, while mentors teach you things you want to learn.)
Guided Practice
• Guide students through the next three slides showing them pictures of various activities. Always have the students discuss if a mentor could help someone achieve a goal in that activity. If the answer is yes, ask the students what those goals may be and what kind of person would make a good mentor for that activity.Apply
• Play the games that follow. Have them discuss with their partner the different topics that appear during the Talk About It feature.• After the first game, ask students if they have any mentors of their own. After the second game, encourage them to talk about the goal that their mentor is helping them work towards.
• Ask students: Is there anything you wish you could do, but don't know how?• Summarize for students that mentors can be anyone that we look up to who supports, advises, and guides us. Encourage them to work with a group and discuss their goals with each other. Then, using a piece of paper, have them compose a list of adults in their life who they think would make good mentors for the goals they wish to reach.

Only This Gate Understands Me
by Concert Dancer on Dec.14, 2010, under Drinky-drinky, Hard To Watch, No Shame
Maybe we'll go off together, start a family of half-human, half-steel-rail kids. THEY WOULD BE BEAUTIFUL! Strong, but with good dance moves like me. Hey, YOU SHUT UP! You don't even understand!
Leave me be. Leave me and my new wife alone. We've got some welding to do.

Indigo Crow
Online Reservations
My wife and I went to Indigo Crow in Corrales last Sunday for brunch. We were seated immediately in our choice of inside or outside seating -- given piping hot coffee, and perused the menu. We'd been there many months ago, and were happy to be back. My wife ordered their special brunch omelet which she loved; I ordered their take on Eggs Benedict -- Eggs Benny on their menu. Both dishes were great! The Eggs Benedict came on well-toasted slices of baguette -- instead of Canadian Bacon thick slices of savory ham were atop the baguette slices -- and the eggs and Hollandaise sauce was perfect. We'll soon be back again !
We took friends to the Crow for dinner outside on the patio. The monsoon rains held off and the evening was outstanding. The food was quite good and we lingered over the wine and then dessert and coffee. The perfect place to share with people to say this is easy New Mexico style for a good meal with friends
My husband and I "dropped in" to the Crow and were seated on the patio as the evening was cooling down. It was wonderful with the cottonwood trees shading the patio and of course Becka our server is always terrific remembering what we like. We modified our order a little and were accommodated without missing a step. Our samon was cooked to perfection and our salads were fresh and delicious.
We were running late, but they kept the kitchen open until we were served. Super sevice.
Got a gift certificate for our anniversary so we thought we'd give it a try. We were very pleased with all aspects of the restaurant! Food and drinks were delicious and service was top notch. We will be going back. Maybe for brunch next time!
I had the lamb rack, wife had the salmon. The sides were very good, especially the poblano that came with the salmon (I tried a bit of it). Other stuff on the menu that looked good too so we'll probably go back again sometime. The service was not bad but the waitress never brought bread - saw it given to other tables...and she neglected to tell us about one of the specials (which my wife overheard another waiter telling another table about...and she probably would have wanted it so she was a bit disappointed)
The special last Saturday was Halibut with green chile risotto. Absolutely delicious, with a very generous serving of Halibut. Can't beat it. Service was great also.
This was the second time my husband, 10 yr old daughter and I dined at the Indigo Crow while on vacation in the ABQ area. It did not disappoint. The Brie app was great. I had the Catalina salad (half order) which could have been a meal itself. We both had the lobster ravioli which was great with a nice kick. They did a fettuccine Alfredo for our daughter. It was a little heavy on the garlic for a child's taste but still good. Wine list has good price points. Definately worth the 25 minute trip from the hotel.Hope to go back soon!
This is a great little restaurant in Corrales. We had the Chipotle clams for an appetizer, which were fabulous and the broth with them could be a delicious soup. The charred romaine salad was also very tasty and big enough for 2 to share. The main dishes were served on hot plates which I do so appreciate, because we hate lukewarm food. We did not have room for dessert. The staff was friendly and overall this made for a nice dinner out
We are regulars, but never get tired of the food, specials are creative and delicious. As always, a great time and lovely that the owners are available to assist and accommodate the needs of their guests.
This is really our favorite restaurant in the ABQ area. It's consistent in excellent food and table service. Have never been disappointed.
Been here twice. Food was very good. Could be my new favorite place in ABQ. Service great as well!
This is a nice little restaurant in Corrales with an outdoor patio. Owners maintain a very nice small wine cellar. The menu is not overwhelming but contains enough options to fit most pallets. I think the lamb chops are the best in town. Very small, cozy bar for waiting. Always eat outside in the summer. If you are from out of town and drink more than a couple of glasses of wine be very careful when leaving here for DWI checks. There is a great service in ABQ called Designated Drivers on Demand. Call them and have a good time at this restuarant.
I took my boyfriend to Indigo Crow as he had never been there. The food was as good as I remembered it being, and we thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Good bottle of wine, good service and great food!
service was great, very attentive and helpful. food was excellent. pricey for albuquerque metro, but absolutely worth it. wine list lacking, somewhat, but that's a problem throughout this city.
We invited friends to dine with us at the Crow. We sat on the patio, it was lovely. Between the four of us we had the Halibut special, the fillet and lobster risotto. Well, needless to say, everyone was very happy. Don and Gina stopped by our table to visit and greet our friends. Wine was great!
We had a great time and lingered for hours with a group of friends.
Best bread in town. We love the Gorgonzola fondue. We enjoyed the most tender and juicy steaks topped with creative sauces. The food here never disappoints. For the most part, the waiter anticipated our needs.
We love to bring friends with us to dine at Indigo Crow. They are always so impressed and they think we are genius! Thanks for everything. Of course we will be back again.
Our Dining Experence was a Joy. Food was delightful and creativity prepared. The service was excellent, attentive & Friendly! We even got extra help in that, I had left my cell phone and their staff collected it and held it for me while we attended a concert nearby. Thanks again to the wonderful, friendly staff at Indigo Crow.
Hi, so we have been to Indigo Crow many, many times and have enjoyed the food, service, and setting of the restaurant. We were celebrating my birthday on this past Friday night. Well, it was as it always is, very nice and great night. Halfway into dinner, a couple comes and is seated next to us. We noticed the baby but figured that the baby must be a quiet one. Not to be had that night. The baby proceeded to scream through most of our dinner and I imagine most of the other folks there in the restaurant. No matter the seating, there would have been no where in the restaurant where the baby wouldn't be heard..Most of the folks remarked that most people know know to bring a baby to a really nice restaurant like Indigo. Apparently, some don't.
We had a great meal. It was our first time visiting this restaurant. Well presented food, wonderful appetizer and tasty desserts.
We had friends and colleagues visiting from Virginia and NC and they were over the top impressed with the filet. The lobster risotto and the halibut were also impressive. Can't go wrong here. Hugh was a great server and made sure everything was just perfect!
We had a wonderful dining experience. The food was superb & the staff were all very nice.
This was the second time we had been here and it was just as good as the first. We will definitely be here a couple times a year for special occasions.
We met up with old friends here from back East, and had a wonderful time catching up with them while enjoying a tasty lunch made with many fresh, local ingredients. I loved the black bean and chile soup, as well as the chicken poblano sandwich. Our guests enjoyed the fish tacos, and were pleased that it could be prepared with a blue-corn tortilla or a regular crispy tortilla (our table ordered one of each). When the weather is good, the outdoor patio under the giant cottonwoods is a great place to have your meal. By reserving our table through OpenTable, I was able to easily provide our guests with e-mailed information about our reservation, including a helpful map, since they're not from the area.
Sat inside as it was a little chilly outside. Great service and food, can't ever miss with the halibut. Had it topped on a grilled romaine salad. Wonderful! My husband had his salad topped with shrimp. We were eating a little light, so this worked great. As always, a glass of superb wine!
Indigo Crow is CONSISTENTLY one of the best restaurants in NM. Food is creative, service attentive, lovely atmosphere, fine wine list. Even with the craziness of the Balloon Fiesta we had a wonderful meal.
We took a short drive up to the little community of Corrales for a nice dinner at Indigo Crow. Management had the courtesy to call and say they had only outside tables available. The patio area was nice and with the heaters, we were just fine. The food was good and the service was on the money.
Indigo Crow is a bastion of fine dining in the beautiful little community of Corrales, New Mexico. The food is consistently great with quality meats and seafood and unexpected items for a satisfying and nicely consolidated menu. Their crab cakes delight and the filet mignon and lobster risotto would be outstanding in a major urban restaurant. The service and ambience are wonderful and this is a consistently lovely and casual place to eat well and celebrate good food and company.
Stellar location - we dined indoors on a rainy night, but the outside patio would be perfect during warmer times. Great menu selection - lots to choose from - and confident gluten-free recommendations from our server. Great wine list as well.
My wife and I have been celebrating every special occasion here for the last 8 years. The service is alwAys amazing and the food is nothing but spectacular. Meals and wine are well priced to make any night a memorable evening
I lost a bet and had to take someone to dinner at Indigo. It was well worth losing the bet.
The food here is great. My wife and I have been twice, and were impressed during both visits. Our server was perfect!
Quaint interior combined with excellent food makes the Indigo Crow a place I will be returning. The menu has a nice but not overwhelming selection of salads, sandwiches, entrees and brunch foods. I had the Ahi Tuna Salad which was delicious but there were also other dishes on the menu that I was torn between ordering. Will have to return to try them!
In spite of this restaurant being extremely busy on a Tues. nite, our waiter handled our table of six with calm and efficient service. Although a little on the noisy side, it is well worth dining here. The food is marvelous!
Indigo Crow's food is always excellent. We've eaten here several times and outstanding flavor and consistency is how they roll. Wait staff is friendly and prompt. I love this restaurant!
I come to the Indigo Crow anytime I visit Albuquerque, It is one of my favorite restaurants in the southwest
I have gone here for years but the prices are going up and the portions get smaller. It is good food but the rack of lamb looked more like a rack of rabbit.
What a great place to go for any occasion. They will never let you down both with service and with food.
We had heard that Indigo Crow was a place where the food was worth the price. And it was. Everything was delicious and the presentation was outstanding. Services was excellent with Will being an excellent server. He was attentive and thoughtful.
I've dined here too often, the staff knows me! But it is a great dining experience and I highly recommend it. The wait staff is knowledgeable and friendly, the food is always fresh, beautifully plated and delicious -- the restaurant is a bit small and the noise level can get a tad distracting, but in the end the overall experience is always delightful. Enjoy!!
Indigo Crow has been one of my favorite restaurants here for many years. I go there with a client 1-2 times a year for business dinners, sometimes the two of us, sometimes with other vendors. We had a lovely meal, enjoyed some great wine from their nice selection of wines they offered, and enjoyed the fireplace. I enjoy a nice duck dish, but not everyone does duck well. Indigo Crow is the exception and they offered a delicious plan seered duck with a cherry glaze. My client had their filet topped with gorgonzola, which she enjoyed too! I also picked up a gift certificate for a Xmas gift while I was there too! I hope to go back again soon for another fine meal!
The food was great as usual. We love Indigo Crow for special occasions. We had the Beef Kabob appetizer and it was cooked perfectly. The special was steak and shrimp with mashed potatoes and asparagus , again cooked perfectly. The lamb and sausage ravioli had just the right amount of spice. The service is attentive but not too much. We highly recommend it for special occasions. J. & B
Visited Indigo Crow for the first time to have brunch with out of town friends- we all enjoyed our meal, and sat at a table in the bar by ourselves so could chat away undisturbed. lovely waitperson-didn't make us feel a bit rushed -everyone enjoyed her dish.
The sea food was excellent. The room was cozy. Parking was easy.
Indigo Crow is always on target with their service and consistent wine and food menu. Save room for the desserts. Enjoy the Corrales experience.
Nice cozy feel and the food was well prepared and tasty. Service was good but not as crisp as I would expect from this caliber of restaurant.
Great food. Very good service. Incredibly loud. i'll be back when it's warmer and we can sit outside on the patio.
Had the house salad with lobster-very good. Wife had lobster risotto, nice spicy flavor.

Cloverfield [DVD]
Director : Matt Reeves
Screenplay : Drew Goddard
MPAA Rating : PG-13
Year of Release : 2008
Stars : Lizzy Caplan (Marlena Diamond), Jessica Lucas (Lily Ford), T.J. Miller (Hud Platt), Michael Stahl-David(Rob Hawkins), Mike Vogel (Jason Hawkins), Odette Yustman (Beth McIntyre), Anjul Nigam (Bodega Cashier), Margot Farley (Jenn), Theo Rossi (Antonio), Brian Klugman (Charlie)
Cloverfield is not so much a reinvention of the marauding-monster movie as it is a riff on its possibilities--a fascinating and largely successful experiment in the manipulation of cinematic perspective. The already tired description of the film as Godzilla meets The Blair Witch Project is all too apt because that is precisely what it is, yet by taking a fantastical scenario and filtering it through a you-are-there digicam perspective, director Matt Reeves, executive producer J.J. Abrams (the mastermind behind Lost and Alias), and writer Drew Goddard (a veteran of Abrams's TV shows) simultaneously turn our expectations upside down while gratifying them in new ways. After all, in the era of YouTube, MySpace, and CNN's I-Report, it's hard to imagine the end of the world except through a digital intermediary.
The film's conceit--some might say gimmick--is that we're supposedly watching found video footage that has since become the possession of the U.S. government. An opening disclaimer informs us it was found in the area "formerly known as Central Park" and has something to do with "case designate Cloverfield," all of which hints at disaster and death, yet also some kind of victory since the government is apparently still around. The early footage establishes the millennial-yuppie characters via a going-away party for Rob (Michael Stahl-David), a twentysomething executive who is moving to Japan the next day to take a vice-president position. Rob is torn because he recently slept with Beth (Odette Yustman), his longtime best friend and secret crush, and doesn't know how to handle the situation since he's leaving. Thrown into the mix are Rob's younger brother Jason (Mike Vogel), Jason's fiancée Lily (Jessica Lucas), and Rob's best friend Hud (T.J. Miller), who wields the videocamera for most of the film and provides a running dialogue that provides both comic relief and an informational stream of consciousness.
The party is disrupted by a sudden explosion in midtown Manhattan, which everyone witnesses from the roof of the apartment building, and the "accidental" nature of how the explosion is witnessed is a chilling moment in which the film's violence-via-videocamera's effectiveness is firmly established. Once everyone heads downstairs and joins other panicked and confused New Yorkers in the street, they are treated to the extraordinary sight of the Statue of Liberty's disembodied head being hurled through the air, crashing against buildings, and then screeching to a halt in the middle of the street. Hud's camera moves in for shaky, slightly-out-of-focus close-ups of the surreal disaster site, and he catches others doing the same thing with their cell phones, again reinforcing the underlying premise that, in today's media-saturated you-can-record-it-all world, the calamity will always be televised.
Soon, we are catching glimpses of the 30-story leviathan that is rampaging through the city, and even though a small group from the party escapes a disaster on the Brooklyn Bridge and are close to getting off the island, Rob decides they must turn back and head straight into the maelstrom because he gets a voicemail from Beth informing him that she is trapped and bleeding (possibly dying) in her apartment building. The rest of the film chronicles their desperate trip through the city as the monster rages and the military responds with all its firepower, which is never, ever enough.
Director Matt Reeves strings together some impressively tense setpieces, including a nightmarish journey through a pitch-black subway tunnel that turns into a true horrorshow when the leviathan's scampering progeny show up, as well as a vertiginous jump into Beth's apartment building, which has been knocked over and is leaning precariously against a neighboring office building. Reeves isn't shy about connecting the film's images of destruction with our mediated memories of 9/11, as we watch billowing plumes of dust from a collapsed building rushing down the street and a nearly shot-for-shot recreation of Jules Naudet's footage from inside a store as the dust storm rushes past. There is a slightly unsettling hint of exploitation here, but only if you ignore the fact that science fiction and horror films are always at their best when they feed off our collective fears and traumas. The original Gojira (1954), after all, wasn't just a rubbery monster mash, but a mirror held up to Japan's atomic trauma of less than a decade earlier.
By depicting all of this via digital videocam, Cloverfield escapes virtually all the clichés of the genre while simultaneously delivering virtually everything you would expect from it. The fact that everything we see is "captured" gives it a strikingly queasy, familiar quality that makes the ridiculous scenario seem incredibly plausible. The camera is jerky and jumpy and sometimes out of focus, and Reeves and cinematographer Michael Bonvillain (another of J.J. Abrams's veteran partners from television) do an excellent job of balancing the expected chaos with brief respites of clarity. In other words, they show us more than we would probably actually see if someone were wielding a videocamera during a monster invasion, but without compromising the integrity of the set-up; it always looks and feels like found footage.
The shaky glimpses we see of the monster make it much more terrifying than it should be, and the film falters the worst when it finally delivers the "money shot" and we see the beastie in a close-up that would make Norma Desmond proud. It's an unfortunate lapse in the film's otherwise rigid adherence to its less-is-more aesthetic (which also benefits the digital special effects in two ways: #1 it discourages too much effects work for its own sake, and #2 the low-grade quality of the imagery hides the flaws in the CGI, making the effects look strikingly realistic).
"People will want to see," Hud says at one point, essentially justifying why he doesn't just shut the damn camera off when he's running for his life, "people will want to see how it all went down." He's absolutely right, but what makes Cloverfield so effective is the ironic fact that our vision is limited. We see, all right, but only the bare minimum to make the maximum impression. It is, in effect, the anti-Michael Bay aesthetic, which also extends to the film's blessedly tight 73-minute running time. Unfortunately, this approach is not particularly duplicable as a means of reimagining every action-oriented genre (do we really want to see all our action via faux-amateur video?), but it sure works here to jangle your nerves and draw you deep into a story that would otherwise never have made it off the computer screen.

Cloverfield was shot on several different digital formats and then printed to film for theatrical distribution, and I am not sure whether the anamorphic widescreen transfer on this disc was taken directly from the digital source or from a film print. Either way, it looks great for its intended look. Although it is meant to reflect low-resolution home video, the image is actually quite sharp and clear, with respectable detail and color (although most of the film takes place at night in relative darkness, so it's a rather dim image). There are going to be some inherent limitations in image quality due to the medium, but it reflects what the film is supposed to look like. The audio, on the other hand, is a completely different story. No attempt is made to replicate what a handheld videocamera with a single microphone would pick up. Rather, the Dolby Digital 5.1 surround soundtrack is thunderous, with deep, rumbling bass and effective use of the surround channels to envelop you in the middle of the monster mash. | |
Director Matt Reeves' screen-specific audio commentary is a pretty good one. He's casual, but articulate and very informative. He seems eager to share as much information as possible about the film's production, and its short running time all but ensures little or no dead space. There are three featurettes included: "Document 01.08.2008: The Making of Cloverfield" is a general half-hour making-of featurette that gives a good overview of the film's complex, but ultra-secretive production; "Cloverfield Visual Effects" was a real eye-opener in terms of showing just how much of the film is computer-generated (and it's testament to how good the effects are that so many of them are absolutely invisible); and, finally, "I Saw It! It's Alive! It's Huge" focuses on the design and creation of the Cloverfield creature. "Clover Fun" is four minutes of amusing outtakes and goofs. There are also four deleted scenes, each of which is very short and has optional commentary by Reeves, as do the two alternate endings, each of which is simply a slight variation on what ended up in the final film. |

Soothe Scaly Skin
Special Offer
The skin around my cheeks and right under my nose is flaky and sometimes even looks like boogers! How can I get rid of it?
A scaly complexion is a beauty bummer, but thankfully, it's simple to cure. "Flaky skin is usually a condition called seborrheic dermatitis, which occurs when skin is severely dry and dead cells slough off too rapidly around the nose, eyebrows, ears, and scalp," says Rosemarie Ingleton, a dermatologist in New York City. Use a moisturizer containing glycerin (which attracts water to the skin) twice a day to soothe dry skin in about two days. Try Almay Daily Moisturizer for Dry Skin with Cucumber, $11.49. If the area is red and irritated, also use an over-the-counter 1 percent hydrocortisone cream day and night for a few days to get your skin back to its silky and smooth best.

N.J. lawmakers support anti-bullying bill which may inhibit free speech
New Jersey lawmakers are bent on passing new, strong anti-bullying legislation amid the rash of teen suicides, but others say the bill's wording is inadequate and can be used to harass teachers who express religious beliefs.
The Anti-Bullying Bill of Rights encompasses both emotional harm and physical harm, with added criminal charges. It also establishes a "Week of Respect" annually, The Christian Post reported.
The process in formulating the bill included hearing the stories of bullied people. Matthew Zimmer, 16, was bullied for being gay, even by his teachers, one of whom called him gay in class. The principal never did anything about it, so Zimmer withdrew from school, The Washington Post reported.
Corey Bernstein, 15, was harassed and bullied in middle school, and his plight was ignored by school administrators and the principal, who would not admit that any problem existed, according to the Daily Record.
Some 160,000 students try to avoid school because of bullying, whether on campus or on the internet, The Washington Post reported. Assemblywoman Valerie Huttle told the Daily Record, "This is not a gay bill. This is for every kid."
Implementation of bill
Under the new bill teachers, school staff and administrators must undergo bullying training, and administrators must record all bullying incidents and response actions taken. Every quarter, a school will receive a bully grade, The Christian Post said.
Administrators will also have to hire anti –bully specialists, and districts will have to institute anti-bullying courses, The Christian Post reported.
Bullying off school grounds, including online, are also covered in the bill. Ed Barocas of the American Civil Liberties Union noted this may pose legal challenges, The Washington Post said.
The bill will require an accompanying budget, which is slated for review by the state Senate's budget committee on the following day, according to The Christian Post.
Needs revision
While there is overall agreement of a need for anti-bullying legislation, concern has been raised on the bill's wording. Greg Quinlan of the New Jersey Family Policy Council told The Christian Post, "We need to put a culture of dignity and respect in schools," but added that the bill contains flaws that can limit its effectiveness.
John Tomicki, executive director of the League of American Families opposed the bill saying that it is unwieldy and flawed. The Daily Record quotes Tomicki saying, "It requires significant redraft."
Quinlan said the bill is not fully inclusive. It cites color, race, ancestry, national origin, religion, gender identity and expression relating to homosexuality and physical, mental and sensory disability which can trigger bullying, The Christian Post reported.
But Quinlan told the Christian Post, "Obesity is not on the list. Ex-gays like myself are not on the list. Bullying is bullying," Quinlan said, stressing the need for all-inclusiveness in the bill language.
According to the staff of those who sponsor the bill, the list of groups is merely examples, and it also uses the phrase, "any other distinguishing characteristics," The Christian Post reported.
Still, Quinlan said teachers and students will be denied their first amendment rights to express what they believe, fearing disciplinary action. For example, if a teacher would say, "There is no gay gene," it could be construed as bullying. Or, expressing one's faith could be seen as excluding or putting down other faiths, The Christian Post said.
Tomicki cited free speech and said the bill may violate the U.S. Constitution which protects this fundamental right. Others noted the added cost to implement the bill shouldered by districts that don't have the budget, The Washington Post said.
In 2009 over one third of all U.S. students were bullied—half of them on a weekly or daily basis. Because of this, the state legislature has more than the required support for the bill with 28 Senate members and 46 assembly members, The Christian Post reported.
Nonetheless, Quinlan has set forth his own version of anti-bullying legislation which has no list and simply includes bullied characteristics. The model is easier to implement and does not have the burden of additional cost, The Christian Post reported.

Feb. 23, 2010 — It's hard to keep up with the newest innovations of technology. The latest is the new smartphones that not only can send and receive phone calls (an old-fashioned way of communicating, or so it seems), send text messages, e-mails and photos almost instantaneously to almost anyone in the world.
Feb. 16, 2010, — Once again it is time for the paper to explain its rules when covering election news.
On Tuesday, June 8, Lassen County residents will vote in the primary election for governor, lieutenant governor, California secretary of state, state controller, state treasurer, attorney general, state insurance commissioner, state assemblyman, a U.S. representative, a state senator and superintendent of public instruction.
Feb. 9, 2010 — I love St. Valentine's Day. It is one of my favorite holidays. I like buying the silly little valentines with the strange little sayings and leaving them on co-workers desks with a piece of candy. I like buying heart-shaped boxes of chocolates for my children. I like sending out cards and small gifts to my nieces and nephew. I have a niece that was born on St. Valentine's Day. She turns 18 this year. Valdy is her middle name and ironically, her middle name as nothing to with the holiday. She is named after my grandmother.
Jan. 26, 2010 — I was on vacation a couple of weeks ago when Susanville was experiencing a few days of rain and warmer weather. I considered it a preparation for my mini-vacation to Tacoma, Wash. It did rain in Washington the four days I was there, but it was also 50 degrees.
I didn't mind the mild rain of the Seattle/Tacoma area, but then again, I wasn't there to sight see. I went to spend time with my middle daughter, whose husband had been deployed at the beginning of 2010 to Afghanistan as an Army medic. I had a three-fold mission of my own. First, to make sure she was OK. Second, to help her buy things for a care package and three, to teach her to knit. I managed all three.

The Great Game, 1856–1907: Russo-British Relations in Central and East Asia
Related Topics: History, Diplomatic History, Military History, Europe, Eastern Europe, United Kingdom, Russia and Eurasia, Central Asia, Russia
The Great Game, 1856–1907 presents a new view of the British-Russian competition for dominance in Central Asia in the second half of the nineteenth century. Evgeny Sergeev offers a complex and novel point of view by synthesizing official collections of documents, parliamentary papers, political pamphlets, memoirs, contemporary journalism, and guidebooks from unpublished and less studied primary sources in Russian, British, Indian, Georgian, Uzbek, and Turkmen archives. His efforts amplify our knowledge of Russia by considering the important influences of local Asian powers.
Ultimately, this book disputes the characterization of the Great Game as a proto–Cold War between East and West. By relating it to other regional actors, Sergeev creates a more accurate view of the game's impact on later wars and on the shape of post–World War I Asia.
Evgeny Sergeev is a professor of history and head of the Twentieth Century: Socio-Political and Economic Problems Center at the Russian Academy of Sciences Institute of World History. He is author of Russian Military Intelligence in the War with Japan, 1904–05: Secret Operations on Land and at Sea.
What People are Saying
"A monumental and readable assessment of the Great Game that makes the Russian side clearly intelligible in relation to the British."—Wm. Roger Louis, University of Texas at Austin.
"Sergeev is evenhanded in his definition of the game, in his delineation of its stages, and in his ability to view the game in its full context. It is unlikely that any other scholar of the Great Game displays Sergeev's virtuosity with primary sources across several languages and from diverse archives."—Bruce W. Menning, U.S. Army Command and General Staff College.
