So impressed were Dutch settlers by Indonesia's delicious flavours that they adapted many as an elaborate ritual meal known as rijsttafel, a Dutch word that literally translates as 'rice table.' Luckily for modern food aficionados, rijsttafel survived Indonesia's independence and today consists of small side dishes that convey the archipelago's many taste sensations, textures and degrees of spiciness. Indonesian rijsttafel at The Chedi Club Tanah Gajah pays homage to this rich culinary tradition, with nine classic and sumptuous Indonesian and Balinese dishes available for lunch or dinner, and served at The Restaurant or in your villa for a minimum of two persons.

Masi Protoype
This interesting Masi showed up on ebay this past week. The seller, in Zürich, Switzerland, described it as, "New Masi Gran Criterium frame, built by Masi's steel frame builder Giovanni Pelizzoli aka Ciocc (the real Ciocc - check out http://vimeo.com/5519990), who proposed me with this frame to distribute Alberto Masi frames in Europe. Although I ordered an original Gran Criterium, Giovanni invented it like this, it is a one of, a prototype for a "new" Gran Criterium.
The frame is built in Columbus Spirit tubing. Fully chromed. The steerer tube is too long: has to be cut and threaded or used with an ahead stem."
- Fully lugged and chromed
- BB Italian
- Top tube 56, seat tube 56 c-c
Note: Faliero Masi sold the rights to produce bikes under the Masi name in the US in the 1970s. The frames built by his son, Alberto Masi, are sold under the name "Milano". Alberto Masi built frames, in Milano, are available from importer Milano Sport located in Greenwich, CT.
The frame is sure to be a rare, one-off.

Gorgeous bike! Interestingly, our friend Serafino Tomi in Viterbo claims to have designed a logo very similar to the logo used on the Masi bikes. He said Masi was not shy about incorporating interesting details he saw on bikes built by others and somehow convincing folks HE was the inventor! The saddest thing is to see the great name on Asian-made bikes that have NOTHING in common with the originals, or even the authorized copies made in Southern California years ago.

Curses, Foiled Again When a man demanded $5000 from a bank teller in Peterborough, Ontario, she informed him she could give him only $200 and that he'd have to pay a $5 transaction fee because he wasn't a regular customer. He then waited while the teller filled out the paperwork and handed him $195. He left the bank, but police officers identified him from surveillance video because he hadn't worn a disguise. When they arrived at the suspect's apartment, they overheard him asking his neighbors to tell police he'd been home all day. Police arrested Christopher Emmorey, 23, who pleaded guilty to what his own lawyer, Dave McFadden, termed a "comedy of errors" that was "doomed to fail at the outset."
Just Can't Get Enough An itinerant minister who served two years in prison on bigamy charges was jailed again in Gwinnett County, Ga., for trying to marry more women. At least four women claimed that Bishop Anthony Owens, 35, proposed to them. Officials said they had no proof that Owens divorced eight other wives.
Jurisdictional Follies Firefighters refused to save a mobile home that burned to the ground outside Gilbert, Ariz., because town policy prohibits the Rural/Metro Fire Department from fighting fires in unincorporated areas that voted against joining Gilbert in paying the private fire company. Rural/ Metro officials said they responded to the fire as a courtesy to make sure no life was at risk but added they would bill the family $10,000 for their services.
• Twenty-seven illegal immigrants spent a day floating in the Mediterranean Sea while the Maltese and Libyan governments argued over who should save them from drowning. The men, who had paid for passage from Libya to Europe in an open boat that foundered, clung to buoys connected to a passing Maltese tug bound for Spain. The tug's owners ordered the vessel not to take the men on board so as not to interrupt its voyage. Maltese authorities contacted the Libyan government about the situation, but diplomatic negotiations broke down. Finally, after 24 hours, an Italian patrol boat rescued the men.
Why Not? Works for Buses Britain's Ministry of Justice approved double-decker graves to ease overcrowding in cemeteries, which are forecast to reach capacity within decades. The policy lets cemetery managers dig up bodies and deepen their graves to make room for a second body on top. Local authorities will determine how to mark the headstones.
Lasting Impressions Police identified the driver in a hit-and-run accident in Annapolis, Md., because the suspect left behind the vehicle's license number on the parked car. "The car was so dirty that it left an imprint in the dirt," Officer Hal Dalton said.
Slightest Provocations A customer who became enraged because he thought his pizza delivery took too long attacked a pizzeria manager in San Jose, Calif., with a 2-foot-long machete. Police Sgt. Nick Muyo said the pizza apparently arrived within the promised 45 minutes, but the customer berated the delivery man anyway, then went to the pizza parlor and attacked the manager, who suffered cuts while shielding his head from the machete.
• A customer shot the manager of a Wendy's restaurant in Miami because he wanted 10 packets of chili sauce with his order, but the employee at the drive-through, citing store policy, would give him only three. After the man insisted, the employee gave him 10 packets, but police said the customer demanded even more. Store manager Renal Frage went outside to speak to the customer, who fired several shots, wounding Frage in the arm, then fled. Frage pointed out a security guard was on duty at the time but slept through the incident.• Authorities accused Steven Bryant Simpson, 47, of killing Dana Martin, 39, in a shootout in Welch, W.Va., because he was annoyed by the noise of an all-terrain vehicle that Martin repeatedly drove past Simpson's house.
Inflated Support Soccer officials from Qatar tried to hire 10,000 Vietnamese people to cheer for their team during July's Asian Cup matches in Hanoi, according to the newspaper Thanh Nien, which reported that the delegates even placed orders to buy outfits for the supporters. Qatar's national team has few traveling supporters, the paper noted.
In order to make a "big noise" at the Third Vegetable Exposition in China's Anhui province, local officials ordered "all town and village work units" in He county to fill more than 30,000 seats at the opening ceremony "to show the spirit of He county's people," according to the county's official website. The People's Daily newspaper reported the website also declared, "All items on the program must be warmly welcomed and applauded."
Every Tom, Dick and Harry Muhammad is now the second-most popular name for baby boys in Great Britain, according to The Times of London, which based its report on birth names compiled last year by the Office for National Statistics. The favorite name (given to 6928 boys) is Jack, but the paper said Muhammad (5991) could pass it by the end of the year at its present rate.
Fat Farm Brazilian activists complained because hospitals in Rio de Janeiro are sending obese patients to the local racetrack to share medical equipment with horses. "When people weigh more than the standard equipment can support, they have to be directed to the Jockey Club, which is the only place in Rio where they have the appropriate equipment," an official for the Rio state health secretariat explained. Speaking for obese patients, Rosimere Lima da Silva, head of the Group for Salvaging Self-Esteem and Citizenship of the Obese, pointed out that "having to be treated where animals are is not helping their self-esteem."

SYRACUSE -- A service was held at LeMoyne College's Panasci Chapel Thursday to commemorate World AIDS Day.
The purpose of the event was to remember those who were lost, while raising awareness about HIV and AIDS.
Michael Crinnin, Executive Director of AIDS Community Resources in Syracuse, says it's important to teach people about HIV prevention, especially young people.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says teens and young adults between the ages of 13 and 29 accounted for 39% of new HIV infections in 2009. That group had the largest share of any age group.
Nationally, HIV is the 6th leading cause of death for people ages 25-44.
At Thursday's service, a gong sounded every two minutes because every two minutes, 10 people worldwide become infected with HIV.
People who attended the service also sang songs and listened to readings, while reflecting on those who died from AIDS .
Do you think more needs to be done to support the fight against HIV and AIDS? Are you doing anything to commemorate World AIDS Day? Post your comments below.

We're Number One! America Overtakes France in Wine Consumption
Last weekend I had the pleasure of attending a "One-Hour Wine Expert" seminar at Lake Placid's Mirror Lake Inn with Kevin Zraly, author of the best-selling Windows on the World Complete Wine Course and the 2011 recipient of the James Beard Foundation's Lifetime Achievement Award. I don't know if the seminar turned me into a wine expert, but I did learn a few things and was thoroughly entertained in the process.
Zraly was the wine director at the Windows on the World, the restaurant atop the World Trade Center that, before it was destroyed in the terrorist attack of 2001, sold more wine than any other establishment in the country. Since then he's been focused on wine education as a roving connoisseur, raconteur and probably some other French nouns. But his high-energy presentation is purely American, delivered with equal parts Jay Leno–style witty audience banter and Tony Robbins zeal (there was even some tongue-in-cheek "what-your-favorite-wine-says-about-you" analysis).
Zraly shared some interesting tidbits about American wine consumption and how it's changed over his four decades in the business. "This is the golden age of wine," he said, explaining that there is more good, affordable wine available now than at any time in history. And we're drinking a lot more than we used to. In the 1970s, the domestic wine industry had yet to really take off, and Americans were far behind Europeans in their wine consumption. In 2010 the United States overtook France as the world's biggest consumer of wine, according to a recent report from Gomberg, Fredrikson & Associates.
This doesn't mean, of course, that we are the largest per capita consumers of wine—not by a long shot. That distinction goes to the Vatican city-state, followed by Luxembourg, according to the Wine Institute's latest report, from 2009. Zraly noted that 40 percent of Americans don't drink any alcohol at all, and many more prefer beer or spirits.
But those of us who do drink wine are quaffing it in larger quantities, and in ways that surprise and possibly dismay traditionalists, i.e. frequently without food. The practice of pairing wine and food comes from centuries of European tradition, where wine is an essential component of leisurely meals. That lifestyle doesn't exist for most people in the United States. Earlier this week the New York Times wine critic Sam Sifton Eric Asimov wrote about a recent survey of 800 Americans who drink wine frequently; it found that only 46 percent of the wine they drank was consumed with a meal. The rest was paired either with snacks like nuts and crackers, or without food at all. Sifton, Asimov, who wrote that he considers wine "a grocery item" (despite the fact that New York law prohibits wine sales in grocery stores), added that he found "the idea of divorcing food and wine unsettling, to say the least."
Personally, I'm not surprised by the survey results, because those percentages correlate almost exactly with my own wine consumption; I like a glass with dinner, but I will just as frequently drink it in place of a cocktail at a party or to unwind after work. I'm admittedly no wine expert—even after an hour with Zraly—but I imagine the industry doesn't care how people are drinking their product, as long as they're drinking more of it.

I'm with you, Lisa…wine with dinner is nice, but my husband and I are just as happy to have a glass on its own, or with a small snack like olives. With the weather predicted to reach the mid-80s today in DC, we've already got a bottle of Treixadura (a crisp Spanish white) chilling in the fridge for after work!

Because really, who has the time for endless reapplications?
We've all seen herand in fact, she's become a cultural cliché: the girl in the back of the class, perpetually swiping on a new coat of goopy lip gloss. Nobody wants to be that girl. But on the other hand, nobody wants to miss out on her pretty sheen. Nor should you have to!�
Worry not: There is justice in the beauty world. All it takes is a little lippie layering, and you, too, can create a pop of shiny color that lasts all dayno magic wand (or constantly reappearing gloss wand) necessary. Teen Vogue�reader Kiki is showing you how!�

****This giveaway is now closed****
Pssst. I got to meet Ree Drummond last week. I was just about to crawl into my pj"s after the kids went to bed and I happened to see Eliana of A Chica Bakes mentioning on Twitter that she was at the book signing here in New York (lucky me because I"m never on Twitter). P.S. Eliana is super sweet and helpful.
I was out the door in a flash and ended up being third last in line. I was trying to play it cool and didn"t plan what I was going to say. By the time I got to the front, I was so tired (10:00 is past my bedtime – lame I know) that I just kind of stood there blankly having no idea what to say. Ree was so sweet and tried to start a conversation with me but my mind just froze up and no words came out of my mouth. She looked at me sympathetically and said "ok, well thanks for coming" and I said "thank you for coming" and then sheepishly turned around and left. Obviously, I"m great under pressure.
She was every bit as sweet as you would imagine. And, even though her night was ten billion times more tiring than mine, talking to and signing everyone"s books, she was very gracious. Even to the weirdo"s like me.
Isn"t the bookstore lighting beautiful? (Insert sarcasm font.)
I purchased a book at the bookstore when I went to the signing and a few days later I received my review copy. I was super pumped because I had fallen in love with the book and was so excited to be able to share it with you.
So far we"ve made these Grilled Chicken & Pineapple Quesadillas and these Fluffy New Potatoes (called Twice Baked New Potatoes in the book). Both were super yummy! Not every recipe from the book can be found on the website and many of them are tweaked to be the best they can be or to have more specific instructions. I think it"s definitely worth it to get the book. I love flipping through books – so much less strenuous on the eyes and brain.
This cookbook has quickly shot up the list as one of my favourites. I know over the next weeks (months?) the recipes from this cookbook will make it into my meal planning a couple times a week. Seriously, I want to make every recipe. They all sound so delicious.
I"m so happy to be able to give one of these books away to one of you wonderful people. Since I"ll be mailing my review copy, and I know how much it sucks not to be able to enter giveaways, this giveaway is open world-wide. All you have to do to enter is leave a comment. If you like you can tell me what your favourite spring produce is. Mine is definitely strawberries or rhubarb – don"t make me pick! Only one entry per person please. The winner will be announced in Tuesday"s post. Good luck!

Publisher: Farrar Straus & Giroux
Publication Date: 2007
Binding: Softcover
Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
"[Golding is] still a moralist, still a maker of parables. To be a moralist you must believe in good and evil, and Golding does; indeed, you might say that the nature of good and evil is his only theme."
Samuel Hynes, Washington Post Book World, 11/04/1979
Review:"What I end up with is an impression of a very earnest writer, blessed with remarkable skills and up to all sorts of ingenuities, struggling with a dark vision of man, trying to express it through a complex art, making another attempt at another tour de force, and getting nowhere."
Bernard McCabe, Commonweal, 09/26/80

Much like the Renegades images– this set just makes me a bit sad. Some of the figures shown are ones that I was looking forward to since the 30th was announced.

Even the much-lamented Data Viper is a figure that piqued my curiosity. However, as of now, none of these figures are slated to see release– save for hopefully Kwinn.

Effects of Climate Change on Endemic Mountaintop Salamanders
Virginia is home to several endemic salamanders that are restricted to tiny ranges on one or several mountaintops. My lab is studying several of these species in order to determine their biogeographic origins and their likely responses to climate change. With Big Levels Salamanders (just described in 2004), we are examining the structure of contact zones with the more common Red-Backed Salamander, and we are using mitochondrial DNA to understand the evolutionary history of the two species. We are also studying the relative responses of Big Levels Salamanders and Red-Backed Salamanders to temperature fluctuations in order to predict the likely effects of climate warming on the interaction between the two salamanders. With Peaks-of-Otter Salamanders, we are monitoring responses to logging and habitat disturbance and using mtDNA to examine population history.
Population Dynamics of Terrestrial Salamanders
Although terrestrial salamanders are often the most common vertebrates in Eastern forests, the fossorial lifestyle of these salamanders means that little is actually known about many aspects of their life history. We are using a large mark-recapture dataset to examine the life-history of these animals. We are examining seasonal dynamics, size-dependent mortality and reproduction, and the costs and benefits of dispersal.

Stern: Fans tune in for Howard drama
NBA commissioner David Stern isn't happy Dwight Howard or agent Dan Fegan have leaked details of meetings with the Orlando Magic brass to media, but he's willing to live with it, knowing it moves the meter by driving fan and media interest.
"To me, it is the soap opera our fans turn in for — the drama on the court and the drama off the court," Stern told USA Today. "When we cease to have a story popping up, we probably won't exist. I think what it is, is that that's the way we are. That's the way it has been in baseball and the NFL and hockey and basketball. And frankly, it engages our fans, it engages our reporters, it engages our bloggers. It makes people happy, mad, sad. It's just the life of sports."
Howard's very public flip-flopping — trade demands, rescinding those demands and agreeing in February to stay in Orlando for the upcoming season, then demanding a trade again — has kept the Magic and their six-time All-Star center in the headlines.
On Monday, an "unnamed source" Stern said by process of elimination must be Fegan, informed RealGM.com and ESPN.com that Howard again turned down Magic GM Rob Hennigan and team officials who'd visited him in Los Angeles in hopes of convincing Howard to give the Magic a chance.
"It's very unique, especially if it's driven by a quote source that happens to be Dwight's agent," Stern said. "'A source in the meeting? Oh, OK, who might that be?'"

Guilford Honors MLK's Legacy
Guilford will celebrate the leadership and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. with four programs Jan. 30 – Feb. 1.
The first event, "Collective Voices Igniting Change," is 1-2:30 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 30, in Dana Auditorium. Pastor Santes Beatty '97, high school pastor at Kentwood Community Church in Kentwood, Mich., will deliver the keynote address. He is a former Guilford football player, assistant football coach and director of African American affairs.
The event also will feature student reflections and live music performances. It is being held Jan. 30 because Martin Luther King Jr. Day falls during the College's first January Term, when most students are off campus.
For more information, contact Jada Drew, interim director for educational initiatives and community partnerships and Africana Community coordinator in the Multicultural Education Department.
There will be several more events during the following days:
C.P. Gause, associate professor in the Department of Teacher Education and Higher Education at UNCG, will give a talk, "The Journey to Loving Black Men, Hip Hop, and Transgressive Masculinities: How I Got Over," 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 31, in Bauman Gallery West, Founders Hall. The event will be followed by an informal talk in the cafeteria 12:30-1:30 p.m. For more information, contact Parker Hurley.
"Negotiating the (un)contested terrain of transgressive black masculinities, love, and intimacy continues to be wretched in most circles; yet, applauded in others," C.P. writes. "Utilizing the narratives from research and auto-ethnography, I interrogate and rupture the notion of popular culture, mainly hip hop pedagogies, as the source for inciting crises for loving black men."
Jorge Zeballos and Nick Cream will lead the program "Breaking the Silence: Looking at Dr. King in a New Light," 12:30-2 p.m. Friday, Feb. 1, in the Multicultural Resource Center, Room 128, King Hall. The program will examine the revolutionary speech "Beyond Vietnam, A Time To Break the Silence" by Dr. King in an attempt to understand his prophetic voice as he offered a deep critique of capitalism and militarism in the United States. For more information, contact Nick Cream.
"Brother Outsider: The Life of Bayard Rustin," a documentary chronicling the life and contributions of the late civil rights leader, will be screened 6-7:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 1, in the Bayard Rustin Center, Room 128E, King Hall. For more information, contact Parker Hurley.
A master strategist and tireless activist, Bayard Rustin is best remembered as the organizer of the 1963 March on Washington, one of the largest nonviolent protests ever held in the United States. Five years in the making and the winner of numerous awards, "Brother Outsider" presents a feature-length documentary portrait, focusing on Rustin's activism for peace, racial equality, economic justice and human rights.

Problem is MM and this window freezes so I can't actually choose Yes or No. Dead in the water. The only way to get rid of the dialog box (which is modal) is to use Program Explorer to kill the MM process. What is going on? Has the upgrade broken my MM install????

Now let me get this outta the way rite out the gate, I know that not all of the Technicians hate on Juggalos, but there are quite a few who hate on Juggalos and Psychopathic or ICP in general. Now I know we are all entitled to our own opinion and I can respect that. What I don't like or respect is ignorant individuals who wanna say they are Tech N9ne Fanz and think ICP sucks and ICP can't hold a candle to Tech N9ne. Now I say Ignorant becuz I have been a Juggalo since Riddle Box Dropped, so that means 1995. I have collected all of there CDs from all of the artists I like that is signed to Psychopathic which wuld B Insane Clown Posse, Twiztid, ABK, Blaze Ya Dead Homie, Boondox, Dark Lotus, Psychopathic Rydas, also AMB who use to be signed to Psychopathic, let me also state that I also support Tech N9ne and Strange Music Artists, I have all of Tech N9ne'z Albums, Kutt Calhoun, Krizz Kaliko, Prozak, Big Scoob, Stevie Stones New Kid Coming B4 he wuz signed to Strange, Grave Plott, Skatterman & Snugg Brimm, Cognito'z only release on Strange so I am a Juggalo who fully supports both Psychopathic and Strange Music. So now that I have told you who iz reading this wut music I have and listen to I must say that I have never heard Insane Clown Posse Boast, Lay Claim to bein the Best Rapper, or even say No rapper can beat them. Wut I have heard them state in sum of their music is that they are the most hated band in the world who made it to the top on their own two feet with only the Juggalos help. They also state on more than one occasion that if you don't like their music then don't listen to it. They make their music for Juggalos and only Juggalos not for everyone. They know that their music isn't going to appeal to the masses and they are content with that. With that being said I also want to point out the Insane Clown Posse has their own CD'z coming out by Insane Clown Posse along with Dark Lotus wich is ICP, Twiztid and Blaze Ya Dead Homie, and Psychopathic Rydas which also is ICP, Twiztid, Blaze Ya Dead Homie, and now Boondox. So Insane Clown Posse has to create music for their name sake Insane Clown Posse, Dark Lotus, and Psychopathic Rydas. So let me see that is three different groups that ICP creates music for. Now they might not be the best rappers in the world but you have to give it up for them for being able to make that much music. Insane Clown Posse has also made not just one but two of their own movies that had all of their friends and family in it. They run their own Wrestling Company and not to mention they hold their own annual Gathering of the Juggalos which is gonna be on the 13th Annual this year. Since the first Gathering of the Juggalos up till now more and more people attend. The number went from a cuple hundred of Juggalos attending to around 20,000 plus.Mite I also add that Insane Clown Posse has run Psychopathic for 20 years independantly. That means they have out lasted Death Row, Ruthless Records, No Limit, and Psychopathic is still going strong. So you who are reading this and want to hate on Insane Clown Posse and Juggalos, You shuld hope to be just as successful as Insane Clown Posse. I know I wuld luv to be in their shoes. So you can keep on hating on Insane Clown Posse and the Juggalos, while we continue to support Tech N9ne, Strange Music along wit Psychopathic and Insane Clown Posse. Whoop! Whoop!MMCL!

LTB [Twitter@LTB155] said:YOU'RE THREAD IS A DISASTER
All I can say about that iz that I for one as a Juggalo dont like to Mosh. Unfortunately alot of other Juggalos do like to Mosh and I've even seen sum women get into the Mosh Pits which I think is crazy as fuk. I have Moshed a couple of times and found that it isn't my thing. I will say however that I've gone to see Tech N9ne here in Washington State like 5 times and I've seen him perform at the Gathering of the Juggalos twice and not just Juggalos like to Mosh. Even the Technicians like to get up in there and mosh. I have even watched all of Tech N9ne's DVD'z and I've seen Technicians Mosh. So as for your statement all I can say is that I as a Juggalo don't like to Mosh and maybe not all of the Juggalos were Moshing but majority of them were. Also maybe U didnt notice but I bet there were quite a few Technicians Moshing also U only noticed that the majority of the moshers were Juggalos.

I hate juggalos b/c they insist on moshing! At the Tech show I went to, it seemed like everybody was there for the same reason I was; to enjoy the show. But of coarse several people with that stupid fucking clown make-up wanted to start shit. I can stand up for myself, but everybody was crammed together in an overcrowded club/bar and girls were everywhere. It's one thing to shove me, but pushing around women is only done by true pieces of shit! Not to mention the fact that Scenario stopped the show at one point and told them to settle the fuck down and of coarse they didn't. Us Techn9cians pay $125 for a show, if juggalos wan to wrestle with each other, they should keep in their basements or backyards.
Oh wowie that was funny as fuck.
