Up and coming stars
18 July 2008
Hi there! If have ever visited the Zoo you may have seen our awesome free flight show in the Crocoseum. Did you know that we also have a great Bird of Prey Show? In the Bird of Prey presentation we already have a couple of star performers such as our Barking Owl and a Peregrine Falcon. But over the past couple of months we have started to train a new recruit to the Birds of Prey, a Blue-Winged Kookaburra named Slim Dusty.Slim is the daughter of Spike and Matilda who can be found in our Birds of Prey aviary. In nature the Blue winged Kookaburras are quite shy which made the initial training a little bit difficult, but as time progressed she started to show the makings of an excellent show bird. She is becoming a natural at fist to fist flights as well as any other flights asked of her. It won't be long now until Slim becomes one of the stars of the Bird of Prey.
So the next time you come to the Zoo check out the Birds of Prey presentation and keep your eye out for Slim our beautiful Blue-winged Kookaburra.

By Ali Rockett Staff writer
As Washington lawmakers continue to debate a budget that will keep the government running, sequestration looms.
The across-the-board spending cuts will likely continue into the new fiscal year, which starts Oct. 1, according to politicians, think tanks, economists and defense contractors. The cuts have hit communities such as Fayetteville especially hard, where 40 percent of the local economy is defense or military related.
While some express concern about a worst-case scenario, others say the impact in fiscal 2014 may not be as severe as this year's cuts.
Sequestration, which went into effect March 1, resulted in an immediate $37 billion cut to defense spending. That prompted furloughs for about 650,000 civilian defense workers nationwide. Civilian workers initially were furloughed for 11 days, but that was reduced to six.
During Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel's visit to Fort Bragg in July, he said if the sequester continues into fiscal 2014, the department is looking at another $52 billion reduction from the defense department's budget request.
This could mean more civilian furloughs and reductions in workforce and troops as well as affecting military readiness.
Doug Peters, president of the Fayetteville Regional Chamber, said he recently pleaded with state lawmakers in Washington to do something to prevent further cuts through sequestration.
"Communities like ours cannot move on in this wave of uncertainty," Peters said. "This community has a tremendous amount at stake."
Fort Bragg officials say they are bracing for the inevitable.
"We do know budget cuts are forthcoming, but we don't know where they will be directed or to what extent," said Fort Bragg Garrison spokesman Tom McCollum.
The garrison command and Womack Army Medical Center have announced reductions in force. Womack is expected to lay off more than 200 employees by February. McCollum said the garrison command is still finalizing the number of layoffs, but earlier reports said 41 positions may be cut by Nov. 14.
Other commands on Fort Bragg are grappling with the same budget crunch - and the uncertainty.
"At this time, there are no concrete plans for civilian furloughs or reductions, reductions in troop levels, specific training events to be cut, or delays or cancellations of equipment procurement," said Lt. Col. Matthew Lawrence, chief public information officer for the U.S. Army Reserve Command at Bragg. "That being said, as was the case with sequestration in March, all options remain on the table."
Maj. Lisa Ray, of the U.S. Air Force Command, said the uncertainty surrounding the Air Force budget continues to put a strain on airman.
While Fort Bragg will take the brunt of these cuts, Fayetteville's economy will continue to be affected.
As of August, the Fayetteville metro area has lost 1,100 jobs since January, with about half the loss coming from federal government jobs, said Mike Walden, an economics professor at N.C. State University.
Sequestration poses a serious threat to Fayetteville's economy, he said.
"Military is taking a large brunt of the cuts," Walden said. "I don't know that there is anything you can do in the short run. Whenever you have a city whose economy hinges on one or two industries, you rise and fall with that industry."
In the long run, Walden said, Fayetteville's leaders should continue to look at diversifying its industrial base.
He called the city's workforce unique; people leave the military "with very marketable skill sets."
But many, such as retired Gen. Dan McNeill, find success outside of the military in the defense-related field. McNeill, president of the Logistics Company, a defense contractor, said during his time as a soldier and a commander, he remembers budget pinches. He recalled sleeping with batteries in his bed because they "lasted longer that way."
"We weren't issued batteries on demand, but when there was money."
But, he said, that was nothing compared with what Fort Bragg is facing today. McNeill called recent sequester cuts "draconian."
Where the government used to be more flexible with spending, he said, most government contracts now are "firm fixed price." That means if a contractor goes over the agreed-upon price, he pays for it out of his own revenue.
This is creating a "price shoot out" among contractors, he said.
"The U.S. government is working just like private companies to cut costs," McNeill said. "So what we see is a changing environment, and we try to adapt. Those like us are going to find the next two years difficult."
McNeill said he believes the real pain will come in fiscal 2014. Lingering effects from this year's cuts will compound the additional reductions needed to remain at sequester-level spending.
But despite the cuts, he still describes the defense department budget as "good." Compared to other sectors of the government, which have seen reduced funding over several years, the Department of Defense has grown since 2001 following the 9/11 attacks.
"That's why we have some optimism in our company that we can continue to get work and win contracts."
Just like the city of Fayetteville, defense contractors need to diversify their businesses, said Joy Thrash, executive director of the N.C. Defense Business Association.
She said there is a trickle-down effect from reductions in defense spending. They negatively impact defense contractors and companies that support them.
Benjamin Friedman, research fellow in defense studies for the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank in Washington, D.C., said he thinks the impact of the upcoming cuts will be small, based on what occurred last year.
"A lot of the sky-is-falling rhetoric ended up not being quite right," said Friedman. He was referring to the reduction in furlough days for civilian defense workers, which was reduced from 11 to six.
"(Defense officials) ended up having more flexibility than they first admitted," he said.
The Pentagon is now preparing a new 2014 budget that falls below sequester-level spending, which is around $475 billion, while still holding out hope for its original budget request for $534 billion.
"The worst is over in terms of drastic cuts," Friedman said. "But the effects will be more drawn out, taking a few years to manifest."

Du-Par's Restaurant & Bakery
1 Fremont St, Las Vegas, NV
Phone: (702) 385-1906
Hours: Open 24 hrs
One Fremont Street, Las Vegas, NV, 89101
Location: Downtown
Type: Resorts & Hotels, Casino Resort
Hailed as Las Vegas' "Most Historic Hotel," the Golden Gate Hotel & Casino in downtown has stood the test of time and then some.
Since opening as the Hotel Nevada in 1906, this corner establishment has stood placidly at One Fremont Street while the city -- and the world -- changed around it. Most notably, Fremont Street Experience with free light shows and special events was built right outside its doors.
In step with the revitalization spreading throughout downtown Las Vegas, the Golden Gate recently underwent its first major expansion in more than 50 years and guests are discovering plenty of changes here. A stunning new lobby now exhibits items from the hotel's notable past -- things like a Kellogg telephone and ledgers from 1907. There's a new high-limit gaming area in a nook just off the enlarged casino floor, which was also refurbished with new carpeting. The bathrooms have been redone, and silhouettes of either a gangster or flapper make them easy to find.
Also in the casino, guests will encounter the resort's signature "dancing dealers" from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. nightly The Main Bar is the place to go for a cocktail. With a classic speakeasy vibe, it boasts having once served Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr. The One Bar with its bikini-clad bartenders and the Flair Bar are also great gathering spots located outside on Fremont Street.
Very little has changed to compromise the Golden Gate's old school charm. The décor elements harken back to the Roaring '20s or the Rat Pack era, while the latest technology has been utilized to bring the hotel into modern times. The existing 106 rooms have all been updated and now include hip amenities like 32-inch flat-screen televisions, Keurig coffee makers, pillow-top mattresses and iHome clock radios.
The hotel has opened a new five-story tower that is home to 16 luxury suites, including two penthouses that cover the fifth floor. It also features a new porte cochère for valet parking and the hotel's exterior has contemporary pinstripe lighting accents.
The Golden Gate's shrimp cocktail -- widely acknowledged as the first ever served in Las Vegas -- is as popular as the day it was introduced. It's currently being dished up in the home-style Du-par's Restaurant & Bakery.
The Golden Gate offers the best of both worlds. Guests can enjoy the intimate atmosphere of a historic boutique hotel and then step outside the front doors into the heart of the action in downtown Las Vegas.

I thoroughly enjoyed my afternoon with Chloe and Jenni. In addition to lunch at Lucifer's Pizza (one of my favorites), we also took her to Pinkberry and the pet store. I was told by Ryan not to buy anything, but Chloe really wanted a fish for her room. We named her Teresa after Ryan's new housekeeper. Teresa (Ryan's housekeeper) did not seem amused, but Chloe and I thought it was funny. I had to remind Chloe to feed Teresa (the fish) everyday because I heard she forgot a few times. I find that suprising considering Chloe has one of the best memories of anyone I know. I know that there are a few things that I should not have taught Chloe, but those were all done in the past. I respected Ryan's wishes and did not teach her anything new. "Girls Gone Wild","Chardonnay", and "Hooters" were all things she learned (by me) a year ago. If I had to do it all over, I'm fairly certain I wouldn't make the same mistake twice.
Jeff - What Ryan did was not "good business" - it was unethical business. He owes you both an apology and restitution.
I love you! I totally get your sense of humor you're a riot -- Mr. Pearl Necklace!
Anyhoo, what Ryan did was not cool -- I don't know what reasoning he could have for being that sneaky but yeah that's totally not cool.
You do a fantastic job being you!
Jeff we hate the constant pop up stuff on the sides of the TV screen with viewers dumb comments the promo's are distracting enough.Please ask them to stop. We just what to watch you.
I've been watching your show since season 1 and just love you, Jeff! You remind me so much of my own boss -- it's hysterical! I could totally work for you, dude! :D
I hate what Ryan's done and you don't deserve it. You have so much support out here in your fan community ... I hope you can feel it!
Hang in there!!
Stay strong jeff! I was completely surprised how grimey and schemey Ryan became, as you obviously were as well. You always hear stories of what money/fame can do to peoples heart, but seeing your guys relationship first hand, only from watching the show, from where it was to where it is now makes all of those stories that much more realistic. My cynical side just thought, "well...those people were probably skeezy people to begin with." This however proves to me, and I'm sure so many more out there watching, that people can and do change.
Aw Jeff, I feel so bad for you. I do see and feel the love that you have for Chloe, she is adorable and fortunate to have you as a caring adult in her life. You are so funny with her. You and Ryan should get together and talk. I think that your friendship is something to be cherished you two should grow old together! You Ryan and ZOILA! LUV HER!
The Chardonnay,Girls Gone Wild,and Hooters comments were hilarious I love your sense of humor Jeff....so far something ain't right about Ryan's business tactics but I will have to see next weeks episode before I weigh my final thoughts.
Hi Jeff, I felt so badly for you with regard to your situation with Ryan..you were clearly in alot of pain. I believe we do the best we can as we are only human..you are an aware person..you will figure things out..therapy is always there to help..it will be fine, no matter what happens...you are a survivor and you know that. I also agree with what your dad said..he is a wise man. On another note, I was laughing my ass off while you and Jenni were with Chloe..too fing funny..and then also Trace's shorts and his "bowtie" necklace...I had such a crapola day and you guys made it all go away..laughter is great and I laugh alot while watching you show. Take care and stay well!
Jeff, This is my first time commenting on your show but i am a faithful fan, I have been watching your show from the beginning and I am so hooked. Your entire staff and Ryan are so entertaining and sincere, I just love to watch the tailspin week after week. After watching this episode we finally got to see just how much you are still very much emotionally and mentally dependent upon Ryan and the relationship that you have. I would actually love to see the two of you get back together. You really do compliment each other. You fly by the seat of your pants and let your every emotion out and Ryan sometimes seems so straight and narrow. I hope that you have managed to work things out. And please tell Trace never to wear those booty shorts again. I was even embarrassed for him.....
Jeff, it sucks when the people you count on as your dear friends sew seeds of doubt in your relationship. I think it was a smart thing to talk to your father, one of the only people that truly knows you (after all he was there to guide you and watch you grow-up and develop to who you are now). I think you should really listen to what he had to say to you. Yes there is no room for disloyalty in business or friendship but what I think he was also was trying to emphasis is that after so many years invested in this relationship that if there was any value there, you should consider working at keeping it. No relationship is perfect all the time, your bound to hit some bumps in the road. Maybe let go of the business relationship but see if you can hold onto the friend side (which seems to run pretty deep). I think perhaps Ryan has felt the pressure of your fame is downsizing him somehow that he feels the need to shine on his own in his business. Ultimately its nothing to take lightly but you need to do what will make you happy for the long run. I extend myself as a friend to listen if you need it outside of everything that you have going on. I do not look for fame or riches. I too value friendship and its hard to find people that understand how important that is in life. Good luck Jeff. -With my sincere respect,Lucia (Lucy)
With every season we see another layer of your character being revealed and it's nice. I feel bad that you're sad because we can all relate. Sometimes 'it is what it is', you don't always get an answer to 'why' someone acted the way they did because sometimes they act out of their own insecurities and issues which they may not acknowledge so in their mind they didn't do anything wrong yet to you it feels VERY wrong. I don't think Ryan acted of malice but maybe some insecurity since he felt good about making more money than you for the first time.
Stay cool!
Oh Jeff, we are friends in my head (thanks to Wendy Williams for that) and I wish I was there to help you cope with the pain. You are so funny, smart and handsome - any guy would be lucky to be with you. I just wish it were me! I'm sending good thoughts your way.
Jeff, I am a firm believer in "what goes around comes around!" You are a good person and your heart is good. That is evident to anyone who watches the show. Therefore, only good things will come to you. Just remember, everything happens for a reason! You tell it like it is. Most people think that is crazy, because they edit everything they say and do to look good to others. I too am a "tell it like it is" person, and I have gone through much as well. But I am happy to say that I am a very happy person today (thank GOD!!!) and you will be too!
I really hope the situation with Ryan is a misunderstanding. If your suspicions are true then shame on Ryan.
Ryan has clearly betrayed you. I am sure it was hard living in your shadow for so long, but that is no excuse for the way he is now gloating over his new found success. My first reaction to the incident in your office (where he told you he took the job from the A-list actress) was, but of course he will share the job with Jeff. The fact that he wasn't offering to share and was instead telling you that you need to make quicker return phone calls showed me that he felt guilty about what he had done and was now on the defensive. I hope Ryan opens his eyes and realizes that he is letting his business ambitions destroy a beautiful friendship.
Hey Jeff,
I watched last nights episode and was too shocked by what seems the 'behind your back' behavior. I can't help but wonder if Ryan is jealous of your fame and looking for some coat tails to ride. I know, blunt, but I wonder if true? I have a reputation of a 'bottomlineish personality'.
Do you deserve it? Absolutely not! We are not responsible for someone else's behavior only our own. Finding this boundary for ourselves is tough sometimes, and its human to look back and ask many questions of ourselves. But you do not deserve it...
Just from the statements different people have made on your show you are an honest, giving person, and deserves the same back. Sadly, we don't always get it.
Ok, enough said! :) I can't believe I wrote this much on a blog. Never have before..
Take care and hang in there!
Keep being you!
I have watched your show since it began. You are fantastic. You and I have so many similar personalities. I laugh at your show. You are a hoot. You need to stand your ground with Ryan and get to the bottom of the issues even if that means you go your separate ways. I have seen him pulling away from you over the last season. Does he respect you? Hope things work out for you. If you ever do a meet and greet I would love to get an invite. Take care and best of luck. Wendy
jeff, you made ryan rich and he is now using chloe as a pawn, against you. It really appears that you really care for ryanand chloe and it sad that ryan will use money to get in the way of your freinship.
well, just hang in there it will al work its self out. as far as why ryan is being secreative i cnt answer that only he can and the way the show was aired it seemes like he is hiding something. well i hope the best for u and ryan and choles sake. i will keep watching love the show
Jeff, Don't let this eat you up. Having all this exposed on "Flipping Out" has to give you some satisfaction. Feel good knowing you are the better person. Life is too short for revenge. Karma takes care of all. Your fan, Marsi
Hello Jeff My name is Sheri. I have been watching your reality show for a long time. I really love what you do. I like your style and your way of doing business. keep up the good work. Truly your, Sheri
Jeff I think you are compeltely justified on how you are feeling...its BS what happened to you. Awhile ago I wanted to check our your website so I googled flipping out. It brought me to flippingout.com. I was really confused when the website gave me links to Brown design and Bravo but not to you. I can definitely see how people who go to Brown design thinking that it involved you...especially becasue the website talks about you. Either that or they think that Brown design was the only one involved in the flipping out rennovations and not you. Can you trademark your name???? Watching last nights episode really hit the situation head on!!! YOU ARE THE FLIPPING OUT T.V. SHOW!!!! If I were you I would have get your own flippingout website and include on it that its the true Jeff Lewis flipping out website.
Jeff: I'm going to say the same thing I said on Twitter,but it's probably easier to read here since there's a much larger word limit :) Bad behavior doesn't mean bad behavior in return; we all have choices. Ryan has chosen to conduct shady business (IMHO) & be deceitful, that doesn't mean YOU caused it or deserve it. I'm so sorry you're hurting & I totally understand why you are, I just hope you don't beat yourself up too much. On the subject of Chloe;I've done the same thing when I watch my nieces (they are 19months & 3 years) and it's FUNNY. Ryan totally needs to pull the stick out. Maybe she'll say a few inappropriate things here & there,but she'll grow out of it and like I said...FUNNY! HOOTERS!
I feel so bad for you. I watch several of the other Bravo shows and this season I noticed a pattern with several of the "nice"/"real" personas that we the fans root for have really let either the fame go to their head or are desperatly trying to turn this new found fame into advertisement...revenue. I think Ryan might have fallen into the second category. I am not going to offer any advice because I can not imagine what I would do in such a situation other than try and figure out of the relationship is worth saving. Only you know this. On a happier note I have a huge crush on you and I don't care if you are gay. ('Cause I am happily married girl!) I thoroughly enjoy your sense of humor. Take care of Jenni and Zoila :)
Sorry to hear the situation hasn't improved in the months since the episode was filmed. Obviously there's nothing a total stranger can say that's going to make things better, but I'm sending good thoughts your way.
No one deserves to be treated like Ryan treated you, I felt really bad for you. You are too funny, you make me laugh!
Jeff You are absolutely incredible and I love watching your show. I hope it turns out that Ryan is not taking business from you. You have been friends a long time and that would be really sad if he could do that. The was he did the magazine article about Valley Oak was pretty bad. Don't forget, everyone can see what is happening. No one likes it when people behave that way. My friends and I (in ages 20 - 50s) talk on Facebook about being excited it was Tuesday to see your show. Whenever I tell someone else about it and they watch it they love it. You really are a nice guy and have a good heart - you just don't take any crap! You need to take time for yourself and find someone you want to be with. I am sure you have your pick of thousands. Take care and Please keep doing this great show. We love you Ft. Myers FL Cathy
I am so sad that you are sad. I really adore you.
Keep your head up. Not sure if you pray, but it would be a good time to start. Just ask for peace and clarity. Pray that whenever you feel sadness. In time, you will be back to your fun-loving neurotic self --the one America has fallen in love with.
Be happy!
Supportive fan from Atlanta, GA
Jeff: What comes around goes around! Ryan IS TOTALLY out of place. You have done SO much for him, without ou and YOUR show he would be no where. What an ungrateful person. I agree with your father drop him.
I enjoy the show Flipping Out. I wish all people were as FRANK as Jeff. I went to the Jeff Lewis web site and found the Flipping Out link. No Ryan is not leaving you out of the web site JEFF... From Dawn
I honestly can't imagine what your feeling at this moment, but I can tell you that being a Project Manager for over 10 years now sets our minds to think completely out of the box. Watching this episode I can see that your very hurt, but I can also see that Ryan is hurt. Not knowing the behind the scenes happenings, I can tell only give my opinion on the "full frontal". Ryan did not intentionally try to deceive you, but if it makes you mad or feel hurt, well then, he's fine with that. You have to rise to a different level and move forward with your own ideas with your business. Cut off the partnership with Ryan, but not the personal relationship you have with each other. Get out and talk to different people in the same business and see where they are heading in their careers, don't just sit there, take this opportunity to rise to the occasion.
With love,
You care deeply for Ryan - that's okay. But, does he feel the same about you? It doesn't seem so. Therapy, don't think you need. Just keep your head up and stay strong. You have a strong team, funny team, and a million fans. You won't go down, poeple are on your side - STOP putting yourself down and realize that you are better than that. One door closes another opens!!! :)
Jeff, I love, love, love the show! I have watched since the beginning so I feel like I know you. That's a little crazy, but I am no where near Cali so it's okay. You a pain in the ass, but it's hilarious and you have a good heart. I know you love and respect Ryan. You guys have been through a lot, so please work it out. It is rare to break=up and end up best friends for so long. You guys are at a rough spot, but please work it out! My best to you, Zoila, Jenny, Jett, and the animals! By the way, I've noticed this season, Frank is hot.
I felt bad for you watching this regarding the Ryan situation, and feel even worse after reading his blog. I think your dad's advice to get a mediator to work with you two and discuss your problems is a good idea. It's obvious to an outsider that he is acting shady (editing acknowledged) and you have plenty of reasons now to watch your back. He's not owning up to his behavior and you need some backup to talk with him in order to repair this business partnership. Someone who is not invested emotionally or financially in your business to mediate a discussion, like a counselor, could be very helpful.
i think you are very sweet with chole, i think she has a wild side even w/o your help. after all wasnt it her that called a child a big bitch? ryan, needs to get off his high horse already!
We enjoyed your show last night.
Talk with Ryan about the issue of deceiving you. Perhaps, he cannot be trusted, if so, then it is time for you to kick him to the curb.
Lesson....you learn during rough times who your friend and frenemies are. It sounds like somewhere there was a transition from friend/partner to friendly competitor that wasn't clearly communicated. Using your name to redirect traffic when you didn't have a formal interest in Ryan's business is questionable.
Bryan is a weasel! You made him. He helped u. But u made him. He better get down and eat some humble pie. He is always trying to seem so absurd about the way u do things and how perfect he is. He is not fooling your fans. I would really really like him to share some of that bus with u, give u a finders fee, or something for all the stuff he under handed took from u. The little weasel. I know u love Chloe and you have grown and mature thru the show. I am so proud of you. I just adore u!!!! xoxoxo
Jeff, I actually have to agree with Ryan w/respect to the A-list celebrity client. You couldn't return either of her calls because you had too many personal calls to return? That is inexcusable and you certainly wouldn't tolerate that response from someone who worked for you. Shame on you-you snooze, you lose!
Jeff, I don't know why people do what they do. He got the free advertisement for his business on your show. Then he behaved in a very selfish way. Just take the high road and keep doing the wonderful work that you do. Your a good person with alot of responsibility.
Jeff, I've been watching your show. I would love to be your personal assistant. I hate a liar, thief, and a cheat. I think you are great and so I Jennie. Keep up the good work. Love the show.
jeff i love you you have such a bigggggggg heart it could cover america......you was not worried about that job getting done as you was about the people working getting paid...............i think u are a very good person and cleanness is next to god so keep up the good work and allways keep your heart when u loose that its time to stop;;;;;;;;;;thank you ;;;;;;
I find myself hard to trust my employee. You did the right thing to remove yourself from Ryan. Ryan seems to be a mystery person therefore you don't need this type of people in your life. Also, you can get Jenni to learn about computer skills where she can have access to your computer if both of you are driving outside the office. Just check out this site, www.gotomypc.com. There was a problem where Jenni forgotten to get the phone number and you had gotten upset over it and takes about her ex-husband about it. Also you need to have a netbook, it is lite and portable so Jenni can takes it with her when she drive with you.
Jeff, are u kidding me? I've been a Flipping Out viewer from the very first aired episode on Bravo and I'm fairly certain your anger with Ryan channels directly back to yourself. He is making something of himself dispite economic difficulty, he is living his dream with Dale and Chloe. I really think your just ticked off you lost him and you even admitted it in this episode it was your fault! Learn from your mistake and move on .. DO NOT be a hater toward Ryan he is fabulous ... really the only reason I watch the show .. well I like Zolia and Jenni too ... and how about Chris the house assistant ??? He was hott !!!
I agree with you that Ryan is being underhanded. I just googled Jeff Lewis and "Jeff Lewis Ryan Brown" fills in the auto-text. The second choice of auto-text is "Jeff Lewis" alone. Apparently he is still paying google for his name to appear w/ yours.
Last night we all were reminded of the reality of your business. When you wrote the checks from your personal account to cover your contractors I was really impressed. Just because it was the right thing to do. I think of all the people you've had come an go thinking they didn't get promoted fast enough etc. But these people forget that it's your money that took the risk to get the business started so you deserve to have 10 brown salsa's if that is what you want!

This summer, Marco Velardi, the editor of the hip Italian design magazine Apartamento, spent three days holed up in a barn in Yorkshire, England, elbow deep in a sea of cardboard boxes alongside the furniture design star Max Lamb and his father, Richard. A portion of the boxes' contents — more than 1,000 examples of British studio pottery that the elder Lamb sniffed out at rummage sales over the last 15 years — is currently on view at London Design Week. The Apartamento exhibition, "Richard Lamb: The Everyday Life Collector," perfectly captures the vibe of the magazine, which offers unfiltered glimpses into the homes of creative types. Though Max lives in London now, he says his parents' house in Cornwall "has bits and bobs on every surface, all the dressing tables and side tables. Every time you go, you see something different."

when he goes on the offensive it means he does not want to answer questions.
Unctuous faux-hipster punk.
I understand that he´s still ashamed to tell his mother what he does for a living.
He´s the perfect representative of the Obama administration. The media will take all this abuse and ask for the opportunity to be given more.Although I hate to give anyone from BuzzFeed any credence, I have to believe what Hastings said about the Belieber-like emotion the media has for Obama.
The useful tools in the media have NO idea how stupid they are.Laughing stocks of the USA.
Wikipedia says "A carny is a carnival employee." Agreed.
This child carney should stop embarassing the democratic party....
He is such a girly man, but so is his boss.
He is just as snarky as his boss.
I´m surprised that he even takes his lips off of obama´s butt long enough to answer any questions.
I wouldn´t call that "grilling"--more like a snit-fit.
Decades ago little Jay was the weakest link on the Friday night panels PBS. Best known for being Claire Shipman´s husband.He is still a self-reverential nothingburger and now people wonder who Claire Shipman is.
I bet he wouldn´t be nearly so mouthy in an empty parking lot after dark.
Jay got the word from his boss that He won! So now it´s attack all the time. What a bunch of embarrassing jerks. Carney is a smart-mouth and he needs a swift kick, just like his boss. Maybe the "reporters" will decide they don´t like to get ridiculed.
I am just waiting for a journalist with cajones to give him a proper dog cussing.

Mmm. I love grilling pizza, and I'm so sad that I don't have room for a grill at my new apartment. Fish with fruit salsa is one of my favorites too. I also like keeping a bowl of bean salad with chopped peppers and tomatoes in the fridge in the summer -- it makes a quick, cool lunch or dinner when paired with tortilla chips.
Does anybody else have favorite summertime recipes?

Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
Well now it's time -- look at who is not good news.
-- -- About the president's health care law is The Big Talker this morning yes Charles Krauthammer responding to the presidential hopefuls comment saying that the Romney campaign is.
Missed playing the situation.
The Romney campaign.
Which otherwise is solid -- a lot of professionals and and he's so a guy.
Completely misunderstood what's at stake here.
Romney is obsessed with trying to show that what -- did -- Massachusetts.
Was okay because he's obsessed with people saying.
If he doesn't have ceremony -- -- even and even in the details.
Of what he called the mandate.
That he'll be accused of being a guy who flips and flops.
Instead of just ignoring that ignoring what anybody would say about Massachusetts.
Who cares about that -- handed by the Supreme Court.
This notion that at the heart of obamacare is attacks.
And it is attacks three quarters -- which ends up falling on people of the very middle income under -- 120000.
And he blows it -- at the beginning to mandate ballots attacks she looks as if there's an internal debate within his it is his campaign.
And and he not only didn't take advantage of something he was handed.
He turned into a negative.
And while Texas senator Kay Bailey Hutchison disagrees with that point.
Saying that she thinks that Romney has done a good job stating his job position listen -- -- I think he's done a very good job of drawing the issues about Obama and this campaign is about.
Obama's record.
And the high unemployment.
The over regulation the taxes that are going out at the end of this year.
And and Obama health care which is a massive government overreach that is the issue in this campaign.
Now I do think dead Mitt Romney has said that he is going to do some specific things -- -- he said on the first day.
Will ask congress to repeal obamacare will start all over will go step by step will give more access to people for affordable health care.
And we will keep some of the good parts but we are not going to have.
The high taxes on business and individuals that Obama care passed period he's been very specific.
The senator also saying that this campaign is about Obama's record and that this country needs change change which Romney.
Can bring.

Although tranquil nowadays, the village wasn't always so lucky. In the early 1650s, Cromwell's troops were billeted and fought here, while in the abortive Jacobite rebellion of 1715, clans sympathetic to cause mustered in the village before marching off to join the Old Pretender.

With a park-like garden and mature specimen trees, well-groomed lawns and large swimming pool, this property is a rare find in New Zealand. There is a beautifully maintained historic church on the property, which was built as the original Bishop's personal chapel, perfect for private services or as a wedding venue.
The Bishop's Suites are at the rear of the Bishopdale homestead on the charming 5.6 acre estate. The suites are luxury stand-alone apartments, generously appointed. Each has a warm and inviting style of its own with rich fabrics, opulent furniture, beautiful Irish linen detail, and a variety of thoughtful touches.
In these generous but cosy suites it is easy to immerse yourself in the peace and quiet of the estate's relaxed pace. Each one has a gas fire, plasma screen TV, DVD player, radio, ceiling fan and high speed Wi-Fi connection. The parkland grounds, swimming pool and summerhouse create a truly relaxing environment.
This unique and generous property has great potential; as a wonderful home plus superior self-contained accommodation for family, friends and colleagues, or a growing business capable of very good returns from the unrivalled suites and the chapel as a perfect venue for weddings, functions and business meetings.

Sony Ericsson Xperia phones out in U.S., if you can find them
Two Sony Ericsson Android phones made their debut in the U.S. today, although they are only available through the Sony Store.
The handset manufacturer unveiled the Xperia Arc S and the Xperia Neo V. The Arc S is $549.99 and the Neo V is $349.99, and both come unlocked.
That the two phones are hitting the U.S. shores only through Sony's stores is indicative of Sony Ericsson's recent struggles in the U.S. Smartphones that are sold without carrier support typically languish in the market or remain niche items for gadget enthusiasts.

The nearly telepathic rapport between Norwegians Frode Gjerstad (sax), Paal Nilssen-Love (percussion) and Jon Rune Strom (bass) was captured in Stavanger, Norway in 2011, six group improvisations of succinct and spectacular free music.
A 1990 release on Frode Gjerstad's Circulasione label capturing the original Detail quartet ( Gjerstad-sax, John Stevens-drums, Johnny Dyani-bass and Bobby Bradford-cornet) performing live in the UK, an amazing example of this international band's abilities.
A 7" from drummer Moe! Staiano's West Coast Mute Socialite band, "Cheap Clocks" b/w "Violet Smith", featuring Liz Allbee (trumpet), Shayna Dunkleman (drums), Alee Karim (bass), Ava Mendoaz (guitar & screams)
The first studio release of Israeli saxophonist Yoni Kretzmer's Tel Aviv band with Nitai Levi (bass clarinet), Shai Ran (bass) and Haim Peskoff (drums), a mix of ebullient, melodic and free jazz.
NYC & Israeli saxophonist Yoni Kretzmer's Brooklyn band with Daniel Levin on cello, Eyal Maoz on guitar and Andrew Drury on drums, performing five extended Kretzmer compositions with great diversity, style and grace.
Collaborators since 1998, NY hyperpianist Denman Maroney's playing is captured and processed by Hans Tammen, who also plays the "endangered guitar" and electronics, in a spectacular and thought-provoking album of techniques and concepts.
Known for his trio work with Barre Phillips and the late Peter Kowald, alto saxophonist & flautist Biggi Vinkeloe leads a trio with bassist Damon Smith and drummer/vibraphonist Kjell Nordeson through 14 original group improvisations of elegance and style.
NY saxophonist Alex Weiss with Rick Parker (trombone and electronics), Eyal Maoz (guitar), Dmitry Ishenko (bass), Ches Smith (drums) and Mark Hodos (birimbau) mixing agressive approaches to improv with the stranger side of organic beauty.
An ambient electronic journey driven by experimental touches of noise and glitch in a journey through moods of mystery, melancholy, eminent peril, and even elation inspired by the magickal strength of Aleister Crowley.

Dom Pérignon 2003
The champagne itself is named after Dom Pérignon, a Benedictine monk who was an important pioneer for Champagne wine. Dom Pérignon (16381715) was a monk and cellar master at the Benedictine abbey in Hautvillers. He was the first to blend grapes in such a way as to improve the quality of wines and deal with a number of their imperfections.
Produced by the Champagne house Moët & Chandon, the first vintage of Dom Pérignon was made in 1921 but didn't become available for sale until 1936. To this day, Dom Pérignon serves as its house's prestige champagne and continues to deliver with its high quality.

Nintendo Announces $99 Wii Mini For US Release 147
from the if-at-first-you-succeed-try-try-again dept.
from the if-at-first-you-succeed-try-try-again dept.
Zothecula writes "Nintendo recently announced that it was ceasing all production of its original Wii video game console. It seemed as if it had run its course, and Nintendo was shifting 100 percent of its focus to the floundering Wii U. Turns out, the Japanese company had other plans, announcing that its previously Canada-exclusive $99 Wii Mini is making its way to the U.S. 'The $99 price has been neglected in this product generation, but in the past, it has been a very successful price for game consoles. More than half of the volume of machines in the PlayStation and PlayStation 2 generations sold at the $99 or under price."

Feathering their nests in Goose Town: Counselor Tang (Ge You) and Master Huang (Chow Yun-Fat)
Let the Bullets Fly certainly can't be accused of false advertising: Shell casings rack up in the Western-style period piece from Chinese writer, director and star Wen Jiang.
This is not the standard shoot'em-up, however, but a ridiculously — sometimes hilariously — convoluted tale of false identities and political intrigue that has become the biggest domestic box-office hit in Chinese history.
Jiang plays Pocky Zhang, a notorious 1920s bandit who opens the film by spectacularly derailing a train occupied by the newly appointed governor of the village of Goose Town, the governor's wife (Carina Lau) and his counselor (Ge You).
After the governor is killed in the robbery, Zhang assumes his identity.
As the counselor explains: There's money to be made by collecting taxes from villagers.
When they arrive in Goose Town, the characters find that the power in the village rests not in governmental hands but with Master Huang (Chow Yun-Fat), a business leader who traffics in drugs and humans.
The smiling face he presents to the new "governor" on their first meeting belies a history of having many previous governors killed.
Driven by motives that are more Robin Hood than Billy the Kid — he even has a band of occasionally merry men — Zhang plays friendly with Huang while scheming to take his fortune. Huang reciprocates the friendliness while trying to knock off Zhang and his crew.
Like the bullets and those they hit, the levels of deceit pile up through two-plus hours of screen time. Occasionally, all threatens to collapse into nonsense; the few passages of rapid-fire subtitled dialogue — and attempts to keep up with it — add to the confusion.
Yet great wit and endearing, cartoonish goofiness are found in the efforts of the filmmaker and his co-star.
Jiang's stoic he-manliness creates a perfect balance with Chow's hambone theatrics, which include playing his own double.
Those who can follow the multilayered narrative to its conclusion will also be rewarded with a singular feeling of satisfaction.
It comes as much from Jiang's effective wrap-up as the accomplishment of figuring it all out.

Italy do arrive with cause for optimism however. Jacques Brunel's new-look side might have suffered two defeats to France and England but against Les Bleus, Italy enjoyed plenty of possession, if not troubling the try-line, while the Azzurri had Stuart Lancaster's men on the ropes at 12-6 at half-time, only for Charlie Hodgson's second charge-down try in as many games to prove decisive.
Ireland meanwhile, have been twiddling their thumbs and dwelling on the disappointment of their opening defeat to Wales - a third in a row in Dublin - and are desperate to open their account on Saturday.
Leicester prop Martin Castrogiovanni may have been ruled out for the Championship but as is habitually the case, the Italian pack will be a formidable proposition for Ireland - as captain and second-row Paul O'Connell is acutely aware.
"You need that big, strong pack that can get you over the gainline which they have," said O'Connell. "But once you've done that you must be able to attack out wide.
"They seem to have improved a lot in that regard since the Six Nations started.
"But we're hungry and enthusiastic. If we meet the physical challenge, we have a great chance of winning."
Ireland have named the team that was due to play France with Jonny Sexton, who tweaked a thigh muscle in the build-up to that match, now back to full fitness.
That means Keith Earls, who missed the clash with Wales because his daughter was taken ill, will make his first appearance of the Championship with Fergus McFadden - as he was due to in Paris - dropping to the bench.
With Castrogiovanni absent, Lorenzo Cittadini comes in at tighthead for Italy while on the other side of the front row Michele Rizzo makes his Championship debut.
In two other changes by Brunel, Tobias Botes cames in at fly-half for Treviso teammate Kris Burton after both floundered with the boot against England.
Botes, who plays at scrum-half at Treviso, was a replacement for Burton against England with both equally errant from the kicking tee - but it is the South-African born half-back who has got the nod.
Alberto Sgarbi comes in at inside centre in the other change, and manager Luigi Troiani has warned his players they must be more clinical than in their previous two matches if they're to register a first win.
He said: "After the weekend we have got a few minor physical issues and a little tiredness but no more than usual.
"At the Olimpico we paid the price for our errors and we didn't know how to take advantage of the few errors made by our opponents. That explains the difference in the final score.
"Now though we are thinking about Ireland, a team which puts on a lot of pressure, and doesn't give you any space.
"They are very good at slowing down the ball, they will be a very difficult opponent, especially at home and we are well aware of that."

people always tell me that I need to alot of quality protein, like meat, eggs and cheese. or that I "must" eat the grains with the legumes to get quality protein.
I need a study (from webs like pubmed, ACJN etc) that proves that humans can get enough essential amino acids from eating only potato, white bread.
i found one study that proves that, but I find it hard to read the study.
link to the study: http://jn.nutrition.org/content/127/9/1842.full
can you please help me to read the study and get the essential information or give me other studies that show that people get enough protein even though they eat only white breed, potatos, low protein foods etc...
i need these studies because people always Preach me that i need alot quality protein.
The above link gives the history of how the current protein requirements came to be and what we actually need. Plus there are some good references at the bottom.
Once showing them this you can just use cron-o-meter to show that you are hitting the amount of protein you actually need.
Didn't notice this before I replied. Good stuff Andy. :)
Learn what the recommend intakes of these amino acids are and use cronometer to find out how much you are getting.
When someone questions you on this, ask them how much of these amino acids we need in our diet. Ask them how much they get on a daily basis. They won't know the answer to either. Someone once tried telling me that the problem with a vegan diet is that you don't get enough lysine. So I looked it up.
A 154lb adult only needs .84 grams of lysine in a day.
I average between 2 - 3 grams a day per cronometer. And I suspect that number is lower than my actually intake as not all foods in cronometer actually have the amino acids figured in.
Then ask them what does their body do with all the excess protein they are eating.
Just log into Cronometer.com all the fruit and vegs you eat in one day (no less than 2500 calories) and show them how much of each amino acid you get. That might really surprise them)
where can i find this scientific article? i see alot of articles that have refrence to:
Rose W. The amino acid requirement of adult man. Nutr Abst Rev. 1957;27:63l-47.
but i cant find the article itself. i want to read this specific article of Rose W.
