Thirty-nine years ago yesterday Ed Kittelson--with grinder in hand--spent his first day working at a fab shop in Anoka, Minn., northwest of Twin Cities. It was a homecoming of sorts. His parents had moved south to escape the cold, but Kittelson never felt quite at home. So the day after high school graduation, he packed his 1971 Chevy Vega hatchback and, long hair and all, headed back north to Anoka.
For years he spent time on the floor working the fabrication equipment of the day, punching sheet metal using a traditional duplicator stylus. He climbed the ladder to night shift supervisor, and then moved on to other manufacturers, working in sales and shop management; some jobs were great, others weren't. In the early 1990s he found a two-person fab shop for sale, and he needed a $50,000 down payment on the loan to buy it. Where did he get the money?

It was School Bus Safety Week. A brief editorial had appeared in this space, days before, warning motorists that bus stops and crossings would be crawling with state troopers. But the troopers couldn't cover them all.
Adam Kempf, a Coats 12-year-old, was crossing the road in front of his home, obeying every safety rule he'd been taught, to board the bus. He didn't make it. A van coming toward the bus, at the speed limit, didn't stop for the extended stop arm. It was over in one second. Adam died within view of family members and schoolmates.
The driver of the van was charged with felony death by motor vehicle and driving without a license, and a trial presumably will follow. But punishment is a pathetic substitute for a child.
It simply is not conceivable that this is the only way to learn the lesson: Yes, you are capable of taking a life, and only you can do what it takes to prevent that.

10 Years Later & Stronger Than Ever: JDF Facilitates Printing Plant 'Communication'
Love it or not, JDF is the only standards-based approach to integration available for a printing industry bent on achieving ever-greater levels of automation.
"People are slowly but surely automating, whether it's silos or entire segments of their operation," said Alex Hamilton, director of business development for Enfocus Software. "JDF support is one of those necessary checkboxes that you have to have today in order to claim that you're a workflow automation application, like Switch or Prinergy or Dalim or EskoArtwork's Automation Engine 10," he explained. "Whether you use JDF or XML is a matter of user preference, but at the end of the day you've got to have that metadata if you're going to automate your operations."
Some Skeptics Hold Out
While JDF has certainly progressed since its uncertain introduction, still not everyone is sold on its value. "From my viewpoint, JDF is a solution in search of a problem," said Eric Pearson, president and CEO of commercial printing firm TechnaPrint in Eugene, OR. "We have expert operators who can configure our press and the bindery equipment very quickly thanks to the hardware's programmability, so we don't need the added expense of a JDF interface for those devices. While we do use a very small segment of JDF functionality—ink key presets—I don't foresee a complete JDF implementation anytime soon."
Despite such cost misgivings for smaller companies, James Harvey, executive director of CIP4, points to the rapid return on investment experienced after implementation according to data gathered from its International Print Production Innovation (CIPPI) Awards Program. His analysis of these case studies indicates that firms which invested in JDF integration saw an average annualized ROI of 277 percent.
"Smaller companies are more likely to get C-level buy-in for full automation, where the largest companies have much more complex approval processes to go through," Harvey noted in a recently published report, What Print CEOs Need to Know About Automation. "Small and large printers were more likely to have moved to full integration, [which] dispels the myth that JDF-enabled automation isn't for small printers."
Given the growth in JDF/JMF adoption over the last decade, it seems clear that the early criticism did not kill JDF, but instead made it stronger. Love it or not, it's the only standards-based approach to integration available for a printing industry bent on achieving ever-greater levels of automation. PN

Hublot Big Bang Watch Exclusively For Tourneau Stores
Filed under: Timepieces / Watches
Mr. Biver recently mentioned in an interview that the American market is particularly important and strong to Hublot. A noteworthy point as many brands are more or less abandoning major attention on American in favor of the quickly growing, but potentially unstable, market in Asia. While Hublot certainly has feet in China and the surrounding territories, their ongoing dedication to the US is paying off for them.
At a dinner hosted by Tourneau and its newer CEO James Suess, attendees enjoyed a meal by celebrity chef Daniel Boulud. As a thanks, Boulud received a special giant Hublot wall clock for his kitchen. Such wall clocks are custom made for Hublot and absolutely prized by brand fans and collectors. The fact that the biggest names from Hublot and Tourneau showed up to the dinner is a sign of how serious each takes the partnership.
The watch itself is a variation on the classic Big Bang. In a 44mm wide case, the watch is done in 18k rose gold with a tungsten bezel and ruthenium dial. Movement and other features are identical to those from the standard Big Bang watch collection. Not sure how many pieces are in the limited edition, but the price will be $25,900 - $26,300 - depending on the strap.

>> As of April 2012, Littleviews' Events and Exhibits Listings are officially closed. Our events and exhibits posting have had a long and successful run! Unfortunately, two things occurred that force me to close it. The first is because I work full-time in New Jersey, I don't have enough time to properly edit it. And the second is that malicious spammers hit my database and corrupted it so badly that it is not worth my time to create a repair. So what happens when a database is corrupted? A secret URL is embedded in various records and if that record appears in the form of a website page on your browser when you are surfing, a pop-up window opens that cannot be closed without your participation in infecting your computer. No matter what site you might be on, you can tell when you hit a corrupted database record when a pop-up window appears that, for a PC, cannot be closed by clicking on the upper, right-hand corner. (I do not know what might happen when the corrupt database is accessed by a mobile phone or a MAC, but I assume it is something bad.) On a PC, the way to safely exit the malicious website is to hit Control+Alt+Delete to bring up Task Manager, and then shut down all browser sessions. If you touch the malicious window any place except by the top, right X, you will infect your computer. Note that the malicious window cannot be closed by clicking on the X because additional windows spawn, all of which will infect your computer, so I suggest that you do not even try. If you realize your error, immediately run Windows "reset" utility and have it reset your system for a previous timeframe. It is also wise to check your computer with anti-virus software.

KELSEYVILLE -- The 20th-annual Kelseyville Pear Festival will be held from from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sept. 29 on Main Street in historic downtown Kelseyville.
In the fall of 1993 the first Kelseyville Pear Festival was held. The Kelseyville Business Association decided to feature one festival per year and to promote the agricultural heritage of the community. The festival has since grown in attendance from 1,500 the first year to 9,000 last year.
The center point of the Kelseyville Pear Festival is the Pear Pavilion - a large showcase of "everything pear" including historical photos, videos and agricultural exhibits.
Some of Lake County's finest pear products - jams, jellies, pear ice cream and pear pies - always sell-out.
The event, which is held each year on the last Saturday in September, begins at 9:30 a.m. with a parade down Main Street. Highlights of the parade this year will be three grand marshals. Longtime festival volunteers Judy Card, John Puccetti and Eric Scholfield will be honored for their years of contribution.
The Prince and Princess of the festival will also be recognized for their award-winning essays. The parade will include children, tractors, horse-drawn wagons, antique cars, marching bands, floats and groups that walk or march.
For the first time in festival history, the Lake County Horse Council will present a free family event including live equine demonstrations, equestrian exhibitors and a parade of breeds.
Antique tractors, steam engines, and all types of farm equipment will be on display as part of the antique tractor and engine exhibits.
Colorful quilts, heirloom, classic and unique designs, will be exhibited at the Methodist Church social hall.
The lobby of the WestAmerica Bank will be transformed into a fine arts show. Classic and contemporary art will be on display and available for sale.
Lining the streets will be an array of arts and crafts with a focus on pear-inspired creations.
A plethora of food vendors are selected to participate each year. Barbecue, sandwiches, popcorn and even pear margaritas are popular.
Performances will be held on three different stages throughout the day. Dancers, singers, actors and Lake County musicians will be featured.
Daylong activities are planned for the children's area. The fun spot to be will be at The Hang Out Theatre, a place for 10- to 15-year-olds to meet up with friends and enjoy all kinds of entertainment. Music, dancing and a young comedian are on the schedule.
The theater will be in the big tent right behind the Catholic Church on Main Street.
On festival day, the top four winners of the Pear Dessert Contest will be announced. Prizes include gift certificates to Lake County restaurants. To enter a favorite recipe, bring it and an application to the Kelseyville Presbyterian Church Friendship Hall on Sept. 28 between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Include the recipe and a disposable container.
Event-goers are encouraged to enjoy a special pre-festival concert beginning at 5 p.m. Sept. 28. Singin' Cowboy Dave Stamey returns to perform at the Wildhurst Tasting Room courtyard. Opening for Stamey are "The Lake Fiddlers" featuring Andi Skelton and Eleanor Cook.
Tickets cost $40 each and include a complimentary glass of wine, barbecue dinner and concert under the stars.
Tickets may be purchased at the Wildhurst Tasting Room, located at 3855 Main St. in Kelseyville. Ticket information is available at 800-595-WINE.
Admission to the Kelseyville Pear Festival on Sept. 29 is free. Parade applications, pear dessert applications and other details can be found at www.kelseyvillepearfestival.com.

Significant Milestone with Responsible Care® Certification
Mark Byrd, site general manager
Achieving these certifications provides external validation that we're on the right path toward our aspiration of becoming the best health, safety, security and environmental performer in the industry.
January 11, 2011 – Shell Deer Park recently achieved another milestone in its quest for excellence in site management. In October, the British Standards Institute approved re-certification for the site's combined quality, health, safety, security and environmental management systems, and added Responsible Care® RC14001 certification for the site's refinery for the first time.
The site's Responsible Care® RC14001 certification is the first one to be received among all Shell and Motiva refineries in the U.S.
Shell Deer Park includes a fully integrated refinery and chemical plant, which until a few years ago were separate entities with separate management teams and systems. When the site was unified under one management structure, the two management systems were combined as well.
These management systems govern many areas, including quality, health, safety, security and environmental stewardship, and are evaluated by an independent third party against rigid standards set by the International Standards Organization and the American Chemistry Council. This oversight process enables a disciplined approach to managing business risks, which means rigorous controls around preventing incidents such as environmental impacts and safety violations.
The importance of these management systems is reflected in the site's Health, Safety, Security and Environment Commitment & Policy Statement, available on the web site – www.shell.us/deerpark.
"Earning the trust of our neighbors regarding our 'People and Planet' focus – doing no harm – is important to us as a longstanding community and industry partner," said Mark Byrd, site general manager. "Achieving these certifications provides external validation that we're on the right path toward our aspiration of becoming the best health, safety, security and environmental performer in the industry."
Among the industry, the certifications are known as ISO9001:2008, which governs quality management systems, ISO14001:2004, which governs environmental management systems, and RC14001 – which is the Responsible Care® certification covering all aspects including health, safety, security and environment. More information on Responsible Care® can be found here.
The Shell Deer Park refinery is also certified as an OSHA VPP (Volunteer Protection Programs) and Star Program site. More information on the two OSHA programs can be found here.
Background: The British Standards Institute (BSI) is a global auditing company that provides independent, third-party certification of management systems. BSI will perform audits of Shell Deer Park's manufacturing management systems every six months to verify continual improvement and ongoing conformance to the specific requirements. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is a non-governmental organization that develops and publishes international standards.

A Good Article to Read About Supporting Local Dairy Farms
According to a recent study by the National Young Farmers' Coalition, there are serious barriers for young people starting a farming career. The top obstacles include access to capital, access to land and health insurance.
However, despite these problems, there are still young farmers making a go of it. And they're doing it in refreshingly creative ways – from adding new twists to the family farm and uncovering lucrative niches to sell their products to taking their farm story to television.
We put calls out to Northeast cooperative extensions, farming organizations and state agricultural commissions to find the next "rising stars in agriculture" and were flooded with responses. We whittled the list down to the top five rising stars, based on their enthusiasm, innovation and sheer determination to make it in farming.

How do we distinguish bullying from simple teasing?
Perhaps what we really need is true school choice. Competition amongst schools would solve the problem of bullying because a parent would be able to simple move their child (and the money that goes with the student) to a school that prevents such activity. It would take too many of those instances before all schools took action to prevent abuse to other kids.
Wow, here we go again. Many schools, maybe all schools have a bullying policy. Maybe, just maybe, parents should stop their child from being a bully. The child being harrased can change to multiple schools, but the child doing the harrassment is maybe suspended for a couple of days and returned to the same school. The parent of the suspended child would in all essence say "my child is a good boy or girl and would never harrass another student". When are parents going to start taking responsibility for their child(ren)? Stop blaming the public schools. It appears to me that our wonderful legislature and governor are trying to kill public schools and allow charters to open.
This has good intentions, but it is just a feel good bill.
It is the role of the school to set its own standards on bullying.
What I would do is pass a voucher program if I really wanted to do something to help public schools and here's why.
If the school lives or dies based on choice and compitition among the schools and the legal gaurdians satisfaction of the school, then that would be the bast way to solve bullying. A healthy education enviorment will have very little bullying.
melvins523: It appears to me that our wonderful legislature and governor are trying to kill public schools and allow charters to open.
We can only hope.
tometeacher: How do we distinguish bullying from simple teasing?
When your child is so miserable you want to move them to a different school.
The republicans have turned this into a bill that would allow bulling, rather than prevent it, if the bully is merely making "a statement of a sincerely held religious belief or moral conviction". What a joke!
Why would a charter school not have a bully or two? And where are the studies or proof of any kind that charter schools will provide a quality education. More republican ideology without basis in fact.
To the Republican Senate: Your politics are getting in the way of your common sense and compassion. All humans are worth protecting don't you think?
I don't know what you mean by 'true school choice", however, that would not solve the problem because when allow your child to switch schools but you still live in the school district you leave, the school district you left their administration, teachers, parents and kids are still allowed to bully and harass not only the child that left but now the family that allowed the child to leave. Since they changed count day to early fall, about 90% of the money stays at the original school too.
Yes, I agree, and it's usually the MEA Union, and it sounds like people like yourself that don't want all humans protected. Talk about common sense and compassion. What about the bulling of all the laidoff employee's and the compassion for those who were laidoff unethically and by breaking Union contracts to do it without being supported by their "TEAM" I'd bet money that you're a Union worker!
Wow, here we go again is right! Just send the kid who is bullied away to a "School of Choice" school where you would then as the teacher of the school he/she left bully him/her and their family for not supporting the school in their district. Oh, I can hear it now. "So, they took their child out of our school because our school isn't good enough." Grow up, be a teacher and stop the bullying. Be a good example too. I don't think our legislature or the governor are trying to kill the public schools, the administrations and teachers are doing that all on their own!
Bullying and teasing can be one and the same. The tone, aggressiveness, and amount is usually the telling property. Teasing more often than not is bullying. Also, whether it is happening under the teacher's nose or away from an adult's eyes is a factor. When I was a junior high school student I witnessed, in the cafeteria, a girlfriend being constantly teased by boys in a sexual manner--they may have thought it was teasing, but it was constant, day in and day out, and to her, it was sexual harrassment, or bullying. She was often in tears, though she didn't show that to the boys who teased her. What might be intended as fun to the teasers might not be fun to the "teased." Bullying is meant to be mean. Intent is one factor, but not the only factor.
While perhaps the Republicans do not want a child to be punished for saying, "I believe that God says homosexuality is wrong" outloud, or "You should change" to someone who is gay, as part of a moral conviction, because he/she has been taught that way and sincerely believes it and is not being hostile, there's a slippery slope to "You're a sinner! You're gay!" or "Men are the heads of households, not women!" or "You should grow up to be a mother, not a doctor, huh!" or any number of inappropriate things a child might say due to religious beliefs, that could go into harassment. If children were to simply go around stating their sincere moral beliefs obnoxiously, inappropriately, that could be harassment.
Definitely a slippery slope when we are drafting laws limiting free speech.
It is sad when children are bullied relentlessly and technology enables it to be much more constant and pervasive.
Still, I do not think we will ever be able to legislate away the fact that children are often cruel to one another because they have not
lived long enough to have empathy, kindness, and perspective.

1515 Restaurant
Online Reservations
We really enjoyed our first meal at 1515. The food was great and so was the service. I don't know much about wine but they seem to have a good selection. Someone at the bar makes a great Manhattan. If you park in the underground lot just past the restaurant, they'll validate your parking. We'll be sure to go back some time!
Probably the best meal we ever had. we ordered the 6 course with the wine pairing, WOW I was VERY Impressed and will recommend it to all our friends. The meal and service was top notch.
The food was delicious, the plating was beautiful, and the portions were just right!! Service was exceptional. Lots of molecular gastronomy! A great place for a foodie! We will definitely be back!!
Chef Teng is creative to say the least. Wonderful food combinations and presentation is excellent. A nice selection of game meats and seafood all with a twist. We had a wild boar platter and the Burrundie with shrimp risotto. Delicious! The restaurant is just off Larimer Square on the second floor of one of the old original downtown buildings. Ambiance is intimate. Service is great. Wine list is unmatched. A real treat.
My wife and I ordered the 8 course sampling with wine pairing for $140 per person. The meal service and wine was awesome and we kept saying over and over how much fun the meal was. My only negatives are the entry way looks like a 1990s dance club but the actual restaurant upstairs is very nice. And the role smoking outside in front is a little unnerving. I'm not sure what is going on next door either but it seems sketchy.
We have eaten at 1515 about 4-5 times now and have had a wonderful meal each time. In this day and age, how often can you find a restaurant where the owner is always there, greets you, and remembers you even if you haven't been there for 6 months! The chef is super creative, so if you are a foodie, the menu is very interesting and the food is prepared with incredible care. Every dish I have had was amazing. The wait staff is highly knowledgable and well-trained. The bar next door is not related to the restaurant and is very noisy and can intimidate your entry , but it is quiet once you get inside.. Look beyond that and have a great meal once you arrive.
This was like a blast from the past. A more traditional upscale restaurant that focuses on good service (although a bit out of touch) and good food. The wine list was impressive but pricy. The food we had was excellent. The bar downstairs which you enter through was scary and my husband almost wanted to walk out but once you get upstairs in the brick room there is a very pleasant quiet sitting for a dinner where you can talk and be heard. I would go back.
Sitting outside on the patio for lunch is fabulous!! The food and service are always wonderful. Will continue to come back and will always recommend 1515!
Good food, good service. Would like to try their tasting next time
The food was absolutely extraordinary. Here is my one complaint: My wife and I wanted to have a nice romantic dinner at a fancy restaurant. However, we are on a tight budget, so we only wanted to spend ~$60, and my wife is pregnant, so we just ordered water and two entrees. The server asked us three times if we really just wanted water and at one point looked down at us and said, I quote, "So you're just going to have the two entrees, and water?" in a slightly annoyed tone of voice. Not rude, but it honestly diminished the experience for us because we spent the whole time feeling guilty for not spending more. If you're like most people and plan to have wine, appetizers, entrees, desserts, etc--this will probably not be a problem for you.
Had dinner at 1515 for a date night. Food was excellent and a wide variety on the drink menu. The service was great. The atmosphere was actually very casual and comfortable. Will definitely eat here again.
Hidden up stairs of the bar at 1515 is this fantastic restaurant. Amazing menu, great wine and a perfect evening. Service could have been better, but it's nothing to complain about. We enjoyed ourselves.
We had a very nice evening at Restaurant 1515. Bill was our waiter. He did a great job and was very knowledgable about the food. I has scallops for appetizer - fabulous. I had filet for dinner - incredibly tender. It was a lovely evening!
The food was very good - we both had the barramundi and it exceeded our expectations. The bread was excellent. We did not have appetizers or dessert. The only suggestion would be to "liven" up the entry. It is a big drab until one walks upstairs and finds the lovely dining room. I was waiting for a friend and waited on a little bench along the window downstairs. Just seemed like it needed a bit more "atmosphere." But we had a delightful evening and very much enjoyed our meal and the wait staff was perfect - not in our face but there when needed.
Try the Chef's 6 or 8 tasting menu, great flavors!
So, it's true, I had to get out my tablet to look up exactly what a Barramundi is. Everything else, I knew offhand. The menu is creative and the food is great! It is in a great location in LoDo, and there is certainly something for everyone.
We went to 1515 for my birthday and did the 8 course tasting menu. The Service thoughout was excellent. It was a memorable dinner for the two of us--really took our time and relaxed. The wine pairings were exceptionally good. The food was a mixed bag. The beet salad with yogurt was kind of skimpy. . The Tandoori duck was a highlight. It was well prepared and very flavorful--I would definitely get that again. The scallop on the squid ink rosotto was probably our favorite. The wild boar was a little tasteless but the duck fat potatoes with it were very yummy. The Wagyu beef on the hot stone was really fun to "cook" at the table and the beef melted in your mouth--awesome!. The final meat course of steak is not grilled so it was bland.
Dining at 1515 is always a great experience - it has become our favorite pre-show spot in downtown Denver. You enter through a small neighborhood bar, but the restaurant upstairs is outstanding, the servers are tops, and the food is creatively excellent.
The food is great and truly unique. Prices are reasonable for the quality of food. The restaurant is not fancy when it comes to decor, but the food makes up for it.
My girlfriend and I like to spend some money on a nice meal every now and again. We chose this restaurant because we had heard such great things about it. Service was great, food was awesome! The owner came to our table and introduced himself and told us a bit about his food. I highly recommend.
I have been to 1515 several times now, and I don't get why it isn't more crowded. I never have a problem getting a last minute reservation, and I have never been disappointed. The experience is a foodie's dream. The waiters are very knowledgable; detailing each meal. A lot of techniques go into every preparation. It is a great food experience. I guess I'm glad all those people standing in lines at Larimer St restaurants don't know how good this place is.
If I want a special evening and/or a great dining night I always go to 1515. I love the atmosphere and the food is spectacular- innovative, different without being weird and yummy. What a gem! Gene, you are the best.
Quiet setting with interesting menu that is always enjoyable!
I booked a table for 17 and everyone loved it. The food is exceptional, the servers and owner were on top of our needs the entire time and everybody left more than pleased.
The food and service were very good. However, I think Steakhouse 10 has out priced many folks. We had the pepper strip ($47) and the veal chop ($48). The temperatures on the steaks were perfect and the baked potatoe was great. In all fairness, the prices do include a starch, bread and a soup or salad. I will go again, but probably limited to special occasions.
Daughter and I made reservations before the theatre - didn't know what to expect....got our socks knocked off. From the fruity amuse bouche to the peahces and cream dessert - everything was delicious, delightful and inspired. The heirloom tomato salad (definitely not run-of-the-mill as it sounds) was the best thing I've had in a restaurant in years - tomato caviar, lotus root, horseradish cream, tomato paper, compressed cherry tomatoes....fantastic! This place should be packed -- service was great. Food is remarkable. We can't wait to go back (I'm pushing for tonight).
The food and service were excellent. The restaurant is not too big, giving it a more intimate feel. We enjoyed the little sampling you get before the rest of your meal comes out. My husband and I enjoy going out to eat and 1515 is in our top five places to eat.
The meals my dinning companion and I had at 1515 Restaurant are among the most innovative meals we've ever had. Many bites were totally delightful surprises. Their use of modern food preparation techniques, including Sous-vide, is flawless. The ambiance is upscale fun. The service was impeccable. Mr. Tang is a very gracious host. It was a most pleasant experience. I look forward to more memorable evenings here when in downtown Denver.
I increased the number in our party to 12 people just hours before our reservation time. They graciously ensured me it would be no problem and that we would receive excellent service. They weren't kidding. The waitstaff was very accommodating and the food was excellent.
Went here during a week long conference at the convention center. Had the fish and bison short ribs, plus the peach dessert. Excellent meal! Would definitely return.
Classy, sophisticated, great service and modern nouvelle cuisine. I like it so much that I will be holding a 60 people party next January in their private room.
Food was very good, our waitress was new but outstanding. Ambience not great, more mood lighting needed...also, walking through bar to go upstairs was almost a deal-breaker. Very seedy bar. Would not really recommend due to that, kills the mood instantly. If that changed, if more romantic mood lighting, would be much improved!
Food was delicious and service was excellent. The menu offers a lot of variety and flavors. The Waygu beef appetizer was outstanding. Overall great meal.
Our group really enjoyed our visit. The food was exciting.....every dish was prepared with a special flair. It was just the right amount . I loved the beet salad since I happen to be very fond of this vegetable. It was done like I never experienced before - so very creative. I also had the lamb chops which were delicious. The dessert, the Elvis Chocolate Bar was perfect for my partiality to peanut butter and chocolate - however, the bacon flavor wasn't great for me - just not a fan. We would definitely chose 1515 again!!
They try hard to keep up with the latest food serving techniques. They use liquid nitrogen to bring out aromas
Our first time dining at 1515 and won't be our last. The food was amazing! I had the brazed bison short ribs - nothing short of irresistible. My wife had the tenderloin, it was cooked perfectly. You have to get the Wagyu beef appetizer - fun and delicious. Can't wait to go back!
Had the beet salad and the shrimp scampi. Both excellent. But the beet salad had some extraordinary items in it, hard to describe. Must try. I would definitely go back to try the main menu. Only had time to order off of bar menu.
I brought my girlfriend to 1515 for a nice dinner before hitting a show at Buell Theater. Neither of us is used to fine dining and we felt a bit like fish out of water as far as etiquette, but the waitstaff was wonderful; patient, professional, and helpful. The food (bouillabaisse and duck, quail appetizer) was excellent. Overall it was a wonderful experience.
We tried 1515 because of their "deal" with the theater and had heard of it and had wanted to try. We thought it would be "nice" and worth a try, but it very much more than met our expectations. The food was terrific--both presentation and flavors. The service was knowledgeable and friendly and responsive. The dining room was very pleasant and not too noisy! For us older folk, the noisy restaurants drive us up the wall, but this was very moderate so we could talk while we enjoyed the food. This was an excellent start to a fun evening and we will definitely be back.
For an appetizer, we selected the Wagyu beef, Cooked on a hot stone. Excellent! For our mains, We had the bison spare ribs and the lamb chops. Both cooked to perfection. Only 'disappointment' was the portion size of the lamb chops (2very small bite-sized ribs). The spare rib portion was much larger and shared between the two of us. Exceptional meal and staff.
A group of us had the Charlie Trotter tribute menu. Amazingly good. The wine pairings were not up to the food, though, and the waiter, otherwise excellent, didn't volunteer any information about the wines.
The food and service was great! The only thing that could be better was the coffee.
At 4:15 on Thanksgiving Day we were told the kitchen ran out of turkey breast and my husband's plate came with no gravy. I debated whether or not to stress out over the the errors and decided I would. Our waiter was so apologetic and brought out a small platter of breast meat and a compote of gravy. He apologized three times and checked on our table to make certain we had what we needed. The food was delicious. I will always wonder what went wrong at the outset of the dinner.
We were visiting from Texas on Thanksgiving and we're looking for a place were we could have dinner with our family. This experience exceeded our expectations. The food was delicious, the service friendly and professional. Thanks to the 1515 staff, this was a Thanksgiving meal to remember.
The Thanksgiving menu was traditional and yet tastefully different. The turkey breast and stuffing was most and not over powering with herbs. The cranberry sauce - tangy and exciting. The soup and salad unlike anything I've ever experienced, especially the apple cider salad dressing. I can't wait for our next visit!
Interesting menu, really an opportunity to explore subtle tastes and textures. The liquid nitrogen to enhance flavor seemed slightly pretentious and silly to a table full of scientists, but did no harm. The appetizer and meal was excellent - not too little or too much, and the subtle but distinctive flavors were appreciated by all. Too bad to end a nice meal with a disappointing dessert - the "Italian tasting" was bland in appearance, texture and taste - left us wishing we had skipped dessert completely. None of the choices on the dessert menu were compelling.
Everything was great except for large parties making a great deal of noise.
1515 keeps things fresh and interesting with new and rotating menu items. My wife and I have been frequent guests there for years and are never lacking in choices. I also take business clients there. Sometimes the item descriptions are out there but we've never been disappointed with our meal selection. This time around, we had the Boar Tenderloin and the Bouillabaisse Americana. Both meals were wonderful and the service was great.
This is the first time I have been to 1515 even though I live right around the block. After my first experience there I will certainly be back! The food was outstanding! We tried the wine pairing menu and the combination of tastes was awesome. I would recommend to anyone!
This restaurant allows one to use all five senses in dining. The decorating is a fun modern, the food/wine is exceptional and comes with outstanding service. I always feel as though I am their most special guest each time I dine. Their staff actually understands the menu and has a good understanding of wine pairing. Almost each time, the owner will also come and sincerely inquire as to your experience. Highly recommend!

What can we do about the constant rise of depression and suicide in young adults?
I am seventeen years of age and have recently come out of a large stage of my life where I dealt with a lot of depression. I have dealt with and still deal with people in high school (and even middle school in some cases) that deal with depression every single day and never have anyone that they talk to about their problems.
I have known people that have committed suicide from the weight of depression upon their shoulders throughout their lives, and have heard about these cases all over the world. I, myself, have been driven to the point where I thought that the only way out of my depression was by suicide because there was nothing to help me.
I want to know your opinions and ideas on the subject of depression and suicide in young adults today and what we can do to prevent these problems in the future. Thanks for listening!
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Oct 29 2011: Thank you Chris for initiating this.
Today I learned that those experiencing sea sickness often feel slightly depressed before becoming actually sick and might even feel suicidal. (I heard it on a Danish science program on Norvegian television.) Sea sickness is the result of conflicting sensory information (from balance organs opposed to eyes) that creates a chaos. This internal chaos is speculated to be interpreted by our bodies as having been poisoned and results in vomiting.
I immediately thought of land based depressive and suicidal states. I think that the internal conflict due to unusual awareness of the discrepancies between our heart and our world results in a similar chaos. Our bodies rightfully think that secluded rest is needed for the brain to resolve matters. Often this works sufficiently to go on living, but sometimes the ability to understand extreme contradictions of viewpoints leaves no point of reference.
The sea sick feels better when steering the ship. How do we accomplish the feeling of steering our own ships in sometimes dangerous waters? I believe our heart is our compass.-
Oct 30 2011: The constant reaching for a fixed point of reference in our experience is also part of the problem. When we feel troubled with something, be it motion sickness or emotion sickness, it's not because of the experience itself but because of our interpretation and insistence for it to be different than it actually is.
I agree that our heart is our compass. Instead of looking for the feeling of steering our own ships, or some other feeling that isn't there, a nice and worthwhile exercise is to simply look at feelings that are already there and let go of our interpretations for a second. Alongside those feelings and any other experience at that moment, will be thoughts about the experience. Those are the interpretations. Instead of taking those at face value, we can watch those thoughts come and go as just another part of that experience, without investing anything in them.
If we actually try this from time to time, we can see that those experiences can't actually touch us. Even if at first you're still inclined to get caught in a gut wrenching spiral, that too is only part of the experience, which comes, maybe sticks around for a while, and then goes if there's no more investment in it.-
Oct 30 2011: Well said Mark,
I agree that our interpretations, expectations, reaching for a fixed point of reference, and investment in a certain outcome often color our experiences. Observing the thoughts come and go, and experiencing the "flow" of thoughts, rather than focusing on a certain thought, can sometimes allow us to move through thoughts and feelings that we prefer not to have. This practice works well for many people to interupt the depression "spiral".
With that said, we also need to be aware of clinical depression, which may be more difficult to deal with, and may need professional intervention.-
Oct 30 2011: Certainly sometimes professional help is needed, for addressing specific issues. But specific issues of one sort or another will always be there. Taking a slightly longer view, we'd obviously want to be less susceptible to issues, if we could. And what I'm saying is, we can.
We are susceptible to issues because we interpret them as being personal. That belief is what causes us to constantly push and pull at whatever comes up, not realizing that we can never change the fact that it has already come up. We can't stop pushing and pulling until we stop believing that all the ups and downs of life are a personal affair. How this happens can be directly seen in one's own experience, and only when this is actually seen for what it is, can we decide to take it for what it actually is. Which is, not personal.
Oct 30 2011: To search for a point of reference might be the only way for people with unusually developed sense of balance. They are exceptionally well equipped to sense the imbalances in life and therefore prone to develop depressions as a means to help resolve the contradictory feelings of for example a family divorce or other devastating human discrepancies.
Depressions are like fever is to an infection and should be left to take its course in rest and solitude with help and support from persons close. If the depression has not diminished after some weeks some expert guidance is probably needed. Guided by someone who does not see the depression itself as the original sickness but as part of the cure.
A feeling of relative balance can be found when we calibrate our major thoughts and feelings to our heart. The heart has been shown to posess neurons like in our brain and there are two-way communications between heart and brain.
I believe in watching out for thoughts and feelings that are extrapolations from the compass of our heart. They are our points of reference, forever changing as we go.-
Oct 30 2011: It makes sense to distinguish between the occurance of an infection, and the occurance of a fever as an immunological response to that infection. But I don't see in what sense you are suggesting that depression exists as phenomenally distinct from feelings. Also neurons exist throughout the entire body. It's called the nervous system. When hypothesizing, since analysis of reality is not the same as reality itself, there's the constant risk of the analysis getting convoluted with fantasy.
I agree that when in the midst of overwhelming turmoil, that might not be the best time to learn to let go of the need of a fixed reference point, because this requires a trust which is gained incrementally. But the problem is, when we do find something to hold on to, we think we're fine. Until inevitably the next turmoil comes along and we loose our footing once again. This is perfectly predictable, and yet we are content to let it surprise us over and over, and then we blame it on the lack of footing.
But when this pattern becomes apparent, there's another option to choose from. And that is to stop convincing ourselves time after time that whatever footing we may find, is there to stay. We already know it isn't, whether we'd care to face it or not. And the beauty of it is, those ups and downs are exactly why life can exist at all :). If we can see and appreciate this for what it is, without taking it personally each and every time we're riding the down slope, things will suddenly look whole a lot different.
Oct 31 2011: Thank you Mark Meijer for taking notice that I was very unclear about what I meant by heart and brain interactions. Here is the research I am leaning heavily on scientifically in that aspect: http://www.heartmath.org/research/science-of-the-heart/head-heart-interactions.html.
I am at a loss to where I found the interesting information with speculations as to why humans through evolution have been equipped with the ability for being depressed. I believe it to be very probable that depression has benign functions.
Such as helping humans in dire emotional circumstances by inducing them to rest in solitude and for example either emptying their minds of thought and feeling or rethinking difficulties again and again. These states of mind maybe makes it easier for the unconscious to regroup and find a way to positively consolidate these new learnings into the system. If the depression can take its course you ultimately might emerge stronger.
I agree that we need the ups and downs to evolve beautifully. Each personal setback is a sign for us to try to overcome it in a way as to learn and grow. We can beautifully never predict what comes to us. And we can never know how we will evolve. We are all children of sorts. Learning gets easier when we acknowledge that comforting fact.
The ability to acknowledge our heart as our compass gives a point of direction that can be trusted whatever strange turns of directions life takes you in order to grow. Small obstacles might be overcome by ignoring them but some have to be mastered in order to be able to move forward. -
Oct 31 2011: I wonder if there exists any gathered data about what formerly suicidals consider to be the most important factors that made them want to live. I have only heard one clear account. It was from a boy who unsuccessfully went through several therapies. What made the last theraphy work was that the therapist showed him genuine interest.
Do you need to feel that at least some person genuinly cares about who you are? To feel that you are neither completely alone nor forced to comply wholly to others in order to find company. Maybe you can then find the courage to travel some distances alone. And feel confident that you will find others to accompany you on part of your ways, even if seemingly unchartered.
We suffer when alone and we suffer when in too restraining company.
How to navigate your own personal route while keeping in contact with those you love is often tricky.
You can believe that storms and narrow gaps are given as opportunities to become a better navigator. Nobody knows where they are going and that is beautiful. Take the time to read the compass when you suspect that you are lost. Find your bearing. Chris, it is there to find.

Nutritional info? Can you substitute 2% milk with skim milk?
Agree with others...started to burn after an hour or so. Turned the crockpot from high to low. Used less chocolate chips...and that is hard for a chocoholic to say! Otherwise a great dish when having friends over. Needs that scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.
I liked that this was an easy dessert to bring to dinner with friends. It wasn't just the basic cookies, pie, etc, but something warm and not reheated.
I made this and used half for a Mother's Day dessert with vanilla ice cream. I froze the other half and thawed it to make a strawberry and lava cake trifle with fresh whipped cream. Delicious!
I made this recipe twice. Once following the recipe as closely as I could and second making adjustments. Lets start with the original recipe- first, it calls for cooking on high for 3-4 hours. I had to turn mine off at 1 1/2 hours as it started to burn. Second, the addition of chocolate chips was just too much! It made the cake too sweet and to me, it just didn't blend well flavor wise. When I made the cake again, I made the following adjustments and it tuned out wonderful! I omitted the chocolate chips, reduced the milk to 1 cup and cooked on medium for 2 hours, lid on. My family raved about it! We ate it hot, which left the pudding slightly liquid but not overly runny. Was great with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream!

The Sixth Summit of the Americas is about achieving a dream for the Americas. Through successful partnerships, we will address key challenges facing the people of the Americas -- from energy and citizen security to more inclusive economic growth -- while also advancing core U.S. interests, both in the region and beyond.
What is the Summit of the Americas? The Summit of the Americas is a forum that brings together all 34 democratically elected heads of state in the Western Hemisphere to reinforce bonds of collaboration and to discuss coordinated multilateral responses. President Clinton launched the Summit of the Americas in Miami in 1994. The Sixth Summit will take place in Cartagena, Colombia, this April.
Colombia's theme for the Sixth Summit, "Connecting the Americas: Partners for Prosperity," reinforces the spirit of mutual partnership the Obama administration introduced in 2009 at the 5th Summit in Trinidad and Tobago. As we prepare for the upcoming Summit, we reflect on the progress made since 2009 and concentrate our efforts on building 21st century partnerships to address the basic needs of all Americans.
Through the Summit of the Americas process, we have a renewed focus on our international economic obligations in the region. Growth and competitiveness depend on a lot more than trade agreements. They hinge on the quality of our investment in human capital and our ability to equip citizens to be successful in the global workforce. For economic growth -- and democracy -- to be sustainable, governments must deliver equal benefits to historically marginalized groups, including women, rural populations, and indigenous peoples. These are some of the key challenges that we will focus on at the Sixth Summit.
I recently sat down with fellows and interns from the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and Congressional Hispanic Leadership Institutes to discuss the Sixth Summit of the Americas and what it means for ordinary citizens. The Summit, the initiatives proposed during the event, and the collaboration between the countries of our hemisphere that takes place afterward will mean increased prospects in areas like educational exchanges and commerce, as well as access to clean and consistent energy, economic opportunity, and security.
We look forward to gathering with the democratically elected leaders of our Hemisphere in the Sixth Summit of the Americas to chart the path for productive cooperation and the development of opportunity for all citizens of the Americas. The President will call on our partners to make tangible commitments to greater social inclusion as a cross-cutting component of all development efforts and turn the "American Dream" into a shared dream, accessible to citizens throughout the Americas.

WHO: Big 12 Champion vs. BCS at-large selection
WHEN: Wednesday, January 1, 2014 | 6:30 p.m. MST

The 2014 game will be the last Tostitos Fiesta Bowl in the BCS era. After the 2014 regular season, the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl will be part of the College Football Playoff.

Casey Wilson is a funny chick. She plays Penny on Happy Endings, which is not the greatest show on TV but it does have it's moments. She plays one of 6 friends (sound familiar?) that hang around and do stupid things in a big city. She plays an unlucky in love gal hoping to find a guy.
Casey stopped by the Chelsea Lately show to promote her show. She looked amazing in her little black dress, stockings and high heels. She actually has a great body and shapely legs.
Chelsea handler looked cute too in her skinny jeans and high heel booties. Both ladies have great legs and they accentuated them nicely in their stylish attire. Casey's crossed legs in stockings and high heels were certainly visual appealing.

Here's how RW members rated this race (39 votes).
In short: Fantastic muddy and wet XC RaceIn full: Thoroughly enjoyed The Hardwick X-Stream. It was very muddy and very wet but I loved every minute of it. It helped that it was such a lovely morning. The marshal's were all very good at catching me, as I went flying over the ditches! The atmosphere between the runner's as I was going round, was also very uplifting. A nice memento at the end too. Well worth the entrance fee.Date of review: February 18, 2013
In short: Sunny, muddy, wet and wonderfulDate of review: February 17, 2013
In short: Small, friendly, muddy and fun!!!In full: Normally I look at longer events and in previous years I've been concentrating on marathon training and have ignored this event. Big mistake! If you want a break from the road running but don't fancy going all out on something like hellrunner then this is perfect. Friendly crowd, no gimmicks, a well marked course, the perfect balance of ups, downs, water and mud and a decent medal at the end and all for a tenner. Bargain. I shall be back next year to better my time and finishing place of 97th.Date of review: February 22, 2012
In short: Lovely little x-country, my favourite local event by far...In full: The weather was a lot better in the preceeding week this year than last year, and it made a big difference to the course and the conditions.2011 was waist deep streams and sticky wet mud, 2012 was only knee deep and more sure underfoot.That (plus some additional fitness) meant i bagged an 11 minute improval over lat years time, and once again I really enjoyed the whole event.It's quite a small affair but is now a race that I will return to year after year. Great effort from the Bearbrook Runners...Date of review: February 21, 2012
In short: mud glorious mud, and 5 water crossings for the hell of it In full: I always enjoy this race. A real x-country race, of muddy fun. I was well surprised with my time, a new pb for the course, as I'm not as fit as I was last time I ran it. I probably paced this race a lot better this year. Bearbrook running club always organise a good race, and with a lot of marshalls out on the course, at the water crossings and ditches everyone was well looked after. A good mix of fast and fun runners, so this is a good race for anyone that wants to have some muddy good fun. A big thanks to everyone at Bearbrook. Date of review: February 19, 2012
In short: Mud in the sunIn full: Well organised muddy scramble run through streams and fields. Always fun but hard work. A highlight of the year. Date of review: February 19, 2012
In short: Mud, water, mud, water, mud, water.....In full: Great stuff and total change from the usual road races, but I'll come in swimming trunks next yearDate of review: March 1, 2011
In short: One of the bestIn full: Excellent as always, one of the rare true XC events. Every year has more mud and gets more slippery ! Do this race, I cann't wait to next year to do it again ! Well done Bearbrook !Date of review: February 24, 2011
In short: It's not called X-Stream for nothing! Waist deep water and lots of mud.In full: Lots of fun once you get used to not feeling your feet after the first stream crossing. At times I ended up waiting to cross the streams but that's my fault for not running faster to them, and having now seen how it works I understand it's best to give a real dash to the first stream.One of the most slippery races I've done due to the mud, and at times the aim is just to find a route that works.I enjoyed the race - parking was difficult but only due to the weather conditions (the field for parking was only accessible to 4 by 4s for good reason) and the marshals were very friendly and helpful. This is definitely a race to try.The race momento is great - something entirely in keeping with the event.Thanks to all who organised the race.Date of review: February 20, 2011
In short: Very Wet, Very Muddy and Very Fun.In full: 1st time runner of this race. The kind of race that makes you smile at the end. Streams up-to your belly button and enough mud to lose your shoes in. Bring on next year im hooked.Date of review: February 20, 2011

Votes Admin:Introduced in the Senate on November 1, 2011Click here to view bill details.
I have a few points to share. One, this ammendment is a single tunnel vission approach to a much boader problem. It is somewhat distressing that our Senate cannot muster the courage we expect in sending them to Lansng. Road Commission issues are problematic from County to County based on funding, period.
Our first priority is funding, not dumping the problem on another group of our elected officials that have no better methods in dealing with funding than the current road commissioners. Both are stradled with the original concept that our road commissions were created and funded to establish a certain "norm" across the State for the County trunk lines and local roads, (much like MDOT does on a Statewide level). It is Lansing's job to provide the funding for an acceptable norm. If we want better local roads we have always been able to levy our own taxes and make them as nice as we want. Neither the current Road Commissions or the County Boards have the ability to exercise these rights. The power was rightfully left to the Cities and Townships.
Second, we already have the ability to put road resposibilities under the County Board. Our Senators and Reps need to put their aides to work and look at what we can already do in a more focused mannerism. This proposal is short sited and reactionary to a very complicated and broader issue.
Related to this second point, is an increasing problem that there is no one elected official at the County level that is accountable for road issues. This is also true for other Public Works functions, (water, sewers, solid waste, etc..). Only the Drain Commissioners are accountable to the voters in the entire County. They are also becoming more responsible for increasingly complicated systems well beyond the original farm ditches. Drain Commissioners must work with road commissions and other public works entities more and more. County Commissioners are accountable to only certain areas and more often than not, very quickly learn how to "blame" others for the inability to get the job done. When water backs up, I know who to call and who not to vote for if I am not satisfied. This is not true now for my roads or other public works systems, and it isn't any better with the proposed amendments.
Look to the counties who have or are considering County Public Works Commissioners. Streamline those channels and tell Lansing to work on the real problem, fix the funding!
