He watches her from across the crowded dance club, a sensual black-haired stranger who stirs Gabrielle Maxwell's deepest fantasies. But nothing about this night--or this man--is what it seems. For when Gabrielle witnesses a murder outside the club, reality shifts into something dark and... read more
"Right. And maybe she had checked her brain into her panties from the first moment she had laid eyes on him."Gabrielle
"They had their own personal demons as well, though none of them were the touchy-feely types looking to have Dr. Phil crawl up their ass with a flashlight. Some things were better left to the dark."Lucan
"Ugh, please. Mykonos is so last year. All the pretty people are in Marbella , darling."Jamie
"And war was what he was selling here tonight."
"He had never been one to subscribe to the notion of fate, but it seemed pretty damned clear that oneway or another this female was meant to cross his path. Oh, yeah. Cross it like a black cat. Just his luck that after centuries of dodging cosmic bullets and messy emotional entanglements, thetwisted sisters of fate and reality would decide to put him on their shit lists at the same time."Lucan
"Lucan had to give Gabrielle credit. Aside from a bit of irrationality with the garlic and holy water, shehad maintained an amazingly level head through a conversation that was, no doubt, pretty hard toswallow. Vampires, ancient alien arrivals, the rising war with the Rogues, who, by the way, were gunningfor her now, too."
"What, you're offering me the vampire equivalent of the Witness Protection Program?"Gabrielle
"'Got a present for you.' 'Really? A gift for me? Darling, you shouldn't have.'"Lucan - Gideon
"Hey. Do yourself a favor and don't get too attached to Lucan. Odds are real good that vampire's not gonna live much longer."Tegan
"'What's your business? You know, aside, from being a diseased, bloodsucking leech.' 'World domination, of course. Really, is there anything else worth fighting for?'"Gabrielle - Marek
"All this touchy feely is making me itchy to kill something. How about we quit jerking each other off and go blow the roof off this mutha"Dante
Gabrielle Maxwell was a Breedmate, a human gifted with unique blood and DNA properties that complemented those of his kind. She and the few numbers like her were queens among other human females. To Lucan's kind, a race comprised solely of males, this woman was a cherished goddess, giver of life, destined to bond in blood and bear the seed of a new vampire generation.Highlighted by 20 Kindle customers
Conlan, by contrast, was soft-spoken and serious, a consummate tactician. He was as graceful as a big cat next to Niko's brash swagger, a wall of bulky muscle, his copper hair shorn beneath the black triangle of silk that wrapped his skull.Highlighted by 16 Kindle customers
"This male was mine, as I was his. His blood sustained me. His strength protected me. His love fulfilled me in all ways. He was my beloved, my only one, and he will be in my heart for all eternity."Highlighted by 15 Kindle customers
And in the back of his mind, an ancient conscience whispered that whoever she was, she already belonged to him.Highlighted by 14 Kindle customers
Nikolai, tall and athletic, with sandy hair, strikingly angular features, and piercing ice-blue eyes a shade colder than the winter of his Siberian homeland. The youngest of the group by far, Niko had come of age during the height of the humans' so-called Cold War. A gearhead right out of the cradle, he was a high-octane thrill-seeker and the Breed's first line of defense when it came to things like guns, gadgets, and everything in between.Highlighted by 14 Kindle customers
They had their own personal demons as well, though none of them were the touchy-feely types looking to have Dr. Phil crawl up their ass with a flashlight.Highlighted by 14 Kindle customers
Tegan had always preferred to hunt alone, but his secretive nature was beginning to wear on the others. He was a wild card,Highlighted by 12 Kindle customers

dermaglyphs, naturally occurring marks inherited from the Breeds' forebears, whose hairless skin had been covered in the changeable, camouflaging pigments. Glyphs typically were a source of pride for the Breed, unique indications of lineage and social rank. Gen Ones like Lucan bore the marks in greater numbers and deeper saturation.Highlighted by 8 Kindle customers
Malebranche, he called the arced blades, a reference to demons inhabiting one of the nine levels of hell, though sometimes Dante wryly adopted the word as a surname for himself when he was out among humankind.Highlighted by 8 Kindle customers

Corvallis 104.3 FM • Hood River 91.9 FM • Portland 90.7 FM

This was a sort of radio show about radio, with lots of stuff related to radio. Clever concept, innit?

9. Muslims in Non-Muslim Sicily
Despite ousting the Muslims from power, the Normans were very receptive to the former's culture. The new dynasty employed Muslim scholars in its courts, soldiers in its army, and even women in its harems. With the switch from Norman to Swabian power, Muslim influence steadily declined. When Frederick II brought many of the rebelling Muslims to a colony called Lucera on the Italian mainland, much of the Muslim presence slowly became insignificant. During the height of the Ottoman power, raids on the Sicilian coasts became frequent until that Muslim power also declined.

In the mooooood for ice cream?
19 June 2011 - 4:21pm
In the mooooood for ice cream?
Here in rural southern Indiana, there's a saying we hear (usually spoken by an old-timer with a dutchy accent) when there's an unseasonal cold snap in late spring: The Ice Man Cometh.
Here at the park, we like to add another word to that phrase: The Ice Cream Man Cometh.
It looked like the Ice Cream Man brought his own special effects the other day when Nathan snapped this photo:
Mark the Ice Cream Man was delivering his goods to Kringle's Ice Cream up in the Christmas section.
We asked Jason, our Food & Beverage chief, for the scoop on which is the most popular hand-dipped ice cream flavor here. It's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough.
Here's a list of our other seven flavors: Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry, Cookies & Cream, Rocky Road, Chocolate Chip Mint and Sugar-Free Butter Pecan.
Jason says the answer to the "Cup or Cone" question falls pretty evenly. When it comes to "Sugar Cone or Waffle Cone?" sugar wins out.
As a dairy farmer's wife, I have to milk this for one last pun ... I herd Mark sure has a cool job. (Okay, sorry, that was two.)

Questions from STEP Webinar
March 11, 2011
1. Question: Will a State's applications only be accepted in its entirety, or could specific aspects of a promotion plan be accepted while other specific proposed activities are not?
Answer: All aspects of the applicant's project plan must be found acceptable by the Associate Administrator. Unacceptable aspects of an otherwise successful proposal will not be allowed as part of the project activities.
2. Question: It was stated that this is a promotion program, not a technical training program. That said, an application to offer ExporTech training would not be viewed favorably?
Answer: The program announcement strongly encourages collaboration. A client in need of ExporTech training should be referred to an SBA resource partner, or another federal or local training resource.
3. Question: In Nevada, we are not allowed to hold funds outside the state system. We can establish a trust account within the State Controller's Office. Is this acceptable?
Answer: The state is responsible for tracking expenditures pertaining to the grant project for future auditing purposes. The State should follow the proper accounting procedures in doing so.
4. Question: Is CDBG eligible match?
Answer: Yes. Community Development Block Grant funds may be used as cash match.
5. Question: Is there a primary contact that we can use for technical assistance in filing the grant electronically?
Answer: Contact information for technical support is provided on the Grant.gov web site.
6. Question: How to qualify rural & disadvantaged businesses?
Answer: The definition of socially and economically disadvantaged businesses is provided in the program announcement, Section IX. A formal definition of rural businesses is not provided. The applicant may define this target group within the proposal.
7. Question: Is there a contact person in each state that would be the primary contact/resource for the grant director?
Answer: A district international trade officer (DITO), located at the nearest SBA district office, will serve as the local SBA contact. Also, the SBA grant program manager, located at SBA, Office of International Trade in Washington DC, will maintain ongoing communication with the project director.
8. Question: What documentation will be expected to meet performance criteria for increased sales?
Answer: The state applicant must develop the method for showing how the project affects state exports. The state will be required to submit project performance reports. Also, SBA plans to have an electronic reporting system. More information will be provided after the Notice of Award is issued to successful applicants.
9. Question: Did I understand that we should register online now and then later actually submit the actual content of the grant?
Answer: Yes. Grants.gov has a registration process that may take some time. Its best to register now in order to save time later.
10. Question: I think the performance indicator portion was extremely important; however, we lost 90% of his comments. Could he please review that section?
Answer: Please see page 10 of the program announcement (Section IV.C.4., Performance Indicators.)
11. Question: Is there some idea as to what the average sized award might be? For example $100K, 200K etc?
Answer: The maximum grant amount stated in the Grants.gov synopsis is $3 million.
12. Question: Please give an example of a project that increases direct and/or indirect supply chain exporting.
Answer: A state STEP project that increases supply chain exporting has enabled more small businesses to provide products and services to another business as part of a larger export effort. The small business' contribution is considered an export.
13. Question: Do you require separate tracking of the time of the staff person designated to this program?
Answer: The state should use its usual auditable guidelines for tracking time and attendance.
14. Regarding the bonus criteria, there was talk of other emerging markets being included besides China. Is this still an option?
Answer: Of course, we encourage other emerging markets for exports. However, the legislation allows special consideration for applications that provide promotion plans for increasing small business exports to China.
15. Question: Will there be any benefit in linking future applications in years 2 & 3 with a project funded in year 1?
Answer: The benefit of year one, is that the applicant will have a clearer picture of how to promote exports. There is not problem stating in future applications, that you plan to continue or carry out a new activity based on lessons learned. However, please keep in mind that the selection process is competitive and year's application stands on its own merits.
16. Question: Can a proposal be partially denied or approved?
Answer: Activities deemed unacceptable by the Associate Administrator will not be funded.
17. Question: Can you have multiple projects that are unrelated to each other in the same proposal?
Answer: Yes, as long as the projects meets the requirements of the legislation and meets the approval of the Associate Administrator.
18. Question: In your presentation, you listed the 10 states with the highest numbers of small business exporters. Are they in order? CA-1, FL, etc...
Answer: The correct order from highest to lowest is: California, Florida, New York, Texas, Illinois, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Georgia.
19. Under Special Considerations, you value "new-to-market" export opportunities to the PRC. Would increasing the existing exports of a small company to PRC be counted toward this consideration?
Answer: Yes, as long as the proposal demonstrates how an incremental increase in exports to the PRC would be accounted for.
20. Question: When will you collect 2012 applications?
Answer: We expect the 2012 application period to be approximately the same time frame as this year's 2011 application period.
21. Question: How is rural defined?
Answer: There is no formal federal definition for "rural." When referencing "rural" business, the applicant must use the state's definition of rural and explain the definition in the proposal.
22. Question: Under your industry classifications, do agricultural and food products qualify?
Answer: Yes
23. Question: How is "high export volume" determined? How is it defined?
Answer: "High export volume" states were determined using state export volume data drawn from the U.S. Census Bureau for the full calendar year 2010.1 Those states with an export volume above the 95th percentile are determined to be states with high export volume for the Federal fiscal year 2011. These states are: Texas, California, New York.
1U.S. Census Bureau News 2-11-2011, Exhibit 2, "Origin of Movement of U. S. Exports of Goods by State by NAICS-Based Product Code Groupings"
24. Question: Can we assume that the average grant for the lower export volume states would be in the range of $450,000?
Answer: The program announcement does not provide a specific amount that the state should propose for a STEP grant.
25. Coordinating this program will be heavily staff dependent. What percentage of staff salaries may be included in the budget?
Answer: Staffing varies based on the state's project plan. The SBA grants management officer will conduct a cost and price analysis to ensure personnel and all other cost elements are reasonable, allowable and allocable based on the project plan and in accordance with Cost Principles for State and Local Governments (2CFR, Part 225).
26. Question: If we have an existing contract with a foreign representative (example: Taiwan), can we use this as part of the Cash Match component?
Answer: Yes, if the contractor is working under a grant to the state for conducting a STEP project and is providing a service that promotes export opportunities for small businesses; and the State is paying cash for the contractual services.
27. Question: The payment of website foreign language translation fees. Is this to pay for companies directly or a service provider?
Answer: STEP project funds may be used by the state to pay a consultant or contractor to translate a small business' website into a foreign language for the benefit of a small business seeking export opportunities in one or more countries.
28. Question: We have been identified as a high Export Volume State. We would like to make an official request to have that reviewed in light of information we have regarding our export data (inaccurate data by census that have yet to be resolved etc..) who can we send that appeal or explanation to?
Answer: Please see the updated STEP Program Announcement, to be published March 23, 2011 at www.SBA.gov, to view the revised "high export volume states" based upon new 2010 export data.
29. Question: Are these grants "all or nothing" or is there potential for grants to be tailored to available funding? That is, the grant request is for $3M, but SBA makes an award for $1M?
Answer: There is no guarantee the state will receive the amount requested. All budget request must be adequately justified. It is possible the proposed scope and budget may change to insure activities are reasonable, allowable and allocable.
30. Question: With regard to the staffing, will states be allowed to hire additional staff under the guidelines, although only for a 12 month period?
Answer: Yes.
31. Question: Pre-Award costs? If we (the potential grantee) prepay for any events (i.e. boothspace at shows) that we wish to include in the STEP funding year can we receive reimbursement upon winning the grant? I understand that we are prepaying without the confirmation of winning the grant or not.
Answer: You may request pre-proposal cost to cover preliminary expenses that are necessary to comply with a scheduled activity in your STEP proposal. The costs will be allowable only to the extent that they would be allowable if incurred after the date of the award, and only with approval at the time of award. (See 2 CFR Part 225 (OMB Circular A-87), Attachment B.31).
32. Question: Do you count exchange students as exports, similar to the DOC?
Answer: No.
33. Question: Do you want to see a 25% match for every line item in our budget narrative or do you want to see that the full budget does have a 25% match?
Answer: Show match amounts on relative line items. The total budget must show the full match amount as required.
34. Question: Would homosexual groups count in the "socially and economically disadvantaged"? I had a SBDC that wanted me to add something in regards to that group and I wanted to check first if that would be considered.
Answer: No.
35. Question: We will be adding grants to companies into our proposal and will allow a list of activities to be reimbursed, similar to the list outlined in STEP. Would this cost to the program be listed under OTHER on the SF424? It does not seem to fall under Personnel/Fringe/Travel/Equipment/Supplies/Contractual/Consultants and definitely not Indirect costs. Please advise.
Answer: Yes. Costs for line items not shown on the budget form should be placed in "Other".
36. Question: Could you also please advise us as to which category (Other/Personnel/Fringe/Travel/Equipment/Supplies/Contractual/Consultants /Indirect costs) the following line items will be assigned for the SF424: catalog entry fees at shows; graphics for booths and for printing brochures; sub exhibitor fees at shows?
Answer: Yes. Costs for line items not shown on the budget form should be placed in "other".
37. Our agency has a preapproved "indirect ratio" that has been used for other federal grants with grants.gov. Should I just refer to it as having preapproval and registered with grants.gov in the budget narrative or do you need some other paperwork?
Answer: If the indirect ratio is still current, you may use the same.
38. Question: Page 21 of the Announcement it states that "the initial budget period will be from the date of the Notice of Award through a 12-month period." However on page 16 it states that "the performance period is expected to begin before September 30, 2011 and must end by September 30, 2012." So regardless of when we start, end of August- Sept 29, 2011, we can plan to go until September 30, 2011 even though that is more than a 12-month period? I have possible activities as early as Aug 2011 and at the end of Sept 2012 and I wanted to make sure I can include.
Answer: The project period will be for 12 months from the date of the Notice of Award. Because we know the first awards will be issued by 12/30/2011 which is the end of the federal fiscal year, we can say it will indeed end by 12/30/2012.
39. Question: The only item with page restrictions is the technical proposal at 20 pages double spaced correct? I am not to include: Chart of Project milestones, governors letter; resumes; organization chart; budget or anything else within that 20 page limit.
Answer: The milestone chart should be included in the 20 pages. All other items you named may go in the budget section.
40. Question: On page 12-13 of the Announcement "Grant checklist" a Cost Policy statement is asked for. Can you please explain what that is? I could not find a description of what you wanted for that.
Answer: The applicant may use the State's cost policy statement if it exists. Otherwise the CPA certification is sufficient.
41. Question: Also on the checklist is a request for the State/Organization's most recent Audit report. What is specifically needed here because other grants have confirmed that state's typically cannot provide this item with meaningful detail and typically have waived this requirement. Please advise.
Answer: This is in regards to the single audit act provision under OMB Circular A-133. If the States cannot provide this information at this time, you may ignore the requirement.
42. Question: Finally, same checklist, a chart of project milestones is the title but in the description underneath that title it asks for a "chart of monthly projections for all activities to be performed under the grant project". Do you want a timeline of activities with milestones and an accompanying spreadsheet of goals to be achieved for each event (i.e. number of participating companies)? Or do you want a timeline of goals? I was looking at achieving export sales by period not necessarily tied directly to each and every event. However, participant numbers could definitely be a direct goal per event. Please advise.
Answer: Feel free to prepare your project milestones chart as you'd like. There is no format
at this time for presenting information.
43. Question: SF-LLL disclosure of lobbying activities: When I looked at completing this required form, it does not allow us to specify that we will NOT be engaging in any lobbying… So, should we complete the form showing 'none' or blank spaces for lobbyist names, or should we not include the form in our package, as it doesn't apply to our project?
Answer: Please use the form provided by SBA that you can sign.

Brighton school's head on a four-day week
3:00pm Monday 23rd July 2012 in News
A Brighton primary school has appointed a new head who will be working a four-day week.
Giovanni Franceschi has left Stanford Junior School, in Stanford Road, Brighton, after six years to take up the post at Downs Junior School in Rugby Road, Brighton.
Governors have announced that Gina Hutchins, formerly head teacher at Woodingdean Primary, will be working as interim head from September.
Mrs Hutchins will work four days a week but governors have said there will be no change to the way the school operates.
In a letter to parents Denise Anderson, chairwoman of governors at Stanford Junior School, wrote: "The governors were seeking to secure an experienced head teacher to cover in an interim role pending the appointment of a new head teacher.
"We believe that this is the best way to maximise stability for the school at this time.
"I am pleased that we have agreed to appoint on this temporary basis, Gina Hutchins.
"Gina has held two previous headships in Brighton at Middle Street Primary and most recently at Woodingdean Primary.
"Gina comes highly recommended for this role and the governors are confident that she will be able to lead the school during this transition period."
Speaking to the Argus, Ms Anderson said: "Mr Franceschi is not in every day so we are not doing anything different.
"We have a deputy head who will be in charge on the other day. We have not yet run any recruitment for the post."
Ms Anderson did not say how long Mrs Hutchins would be in the post, but said that a full-time appointment will be made after a recruitment drive in September.

Best gastropub in the Cotswolds- Kingham Plough
Posted 20 May 2008 - 01:33 PM
So I was intrigued... who is this girl? And how come this kind of food - excellent - has gone relatively unnoticed? So I did some research and found out that:
- The Kingham Plough, in Kingham, has only been re-opened since August '07 (in its previous incarnation it was very dingy, I hear)
- as much as possible she cooks nose to tail, meaning she'll buy a whole cow from a local farmer then figure out ways to cook all the different cuts
- she's only been there for a few months but already found lots of great local suppliers - the asparagus, for example, comes from 8 miles down the (beautiful) road.
- I'm not the only one who thinks this girl is the real deal. Here's what the Evening Standard had to say:
"The food is too good here to waste space writing about the interior"
"OK I'm gushing (...) but isn't it always the place that opens with the least fanfare which invariably deserves the most"
"This is the best gastropub opening for many years" etc etc etc
Here's what I had:
Delicious beer brewed down the road in a neighbouring village
incredibly crisp croquette of escargots on top of a soft pillow of wild garlic soufflé, perfectly-dressed leaves
incredibly delicious pigeon Wellington. I couldn't figure out why the meat was so incredibly tender and flavourful and smooth so I asked her what she'd done. Turns out it's cooked sous-vide in duck fat. Your typical pub pigeon dish, in other words. ;) The pigeon was served on a bed of wilted spinach and wild garlic gnocchi.
a perfectly fine Damson "Yorkshire" with ice cream made of yoghurt from the ultra posh Daylesford Organic. Only complaint: tasted little ice crystals, maybe she doesn't have a Pacojet?
and then I had a taste of 3 perfectly ripened local cheeses, served with quince and damson paste and water biscuits.
my recommendation: go before she gets famous and jacks her prices!

More and more I see people are starting to pay attention to her. The time to go is now, I say.

And how come this kind of food - excellent - has gone relatively unnoticed?
I thought she had had quite a lot of coverage in the review pages of the weekend papers, I recall a number of articles a few months ago. I see Gary attached the one in The Guardian.
Good to hear she is living up to the reviews - must plan a trip.

Sorry, PhilD, I guess she has gotten press in the UK - hard for me to keep up with all that it's published, being a Brazilian living in Canada. Still, I was surprised to find that there weren't any topics on Egullet about her. So for foreigners, I say she's still a hidden gem.
Sorry made the assumption you were local. I suspect the trouble with the board is that it doesn't have a vast number of contributors - quality over quantity - but it does restrict coverage.

First impressions were poor - the attractive, very young waiting staff also looked out of their depth and overstretched. There was no experienced head waiter or maitre d' attempting to bring order to the evident chaos. We sat at the bar for 10 minutes or so being deliberately ignored until our drink order was reluctantly taken. During this several people came up to the bar to tell whoever would listen that they were ready to order.
However, determined to enjoy ourselves, we let the bumpy start wash over us and managed to enjoy a Bloody Mary - mine impressively spiced up with some freshly grated horseradish.
So, to the meal. As it was a bank holiday I suppose I should not be too harsh that the starter we both fancied: potted crab with wild garlic jelly was finished. An unadvertised special of asparagus with what looked like poached quails eggs on mini muffins was also off.
Which left us with guinea fowl terrine, with chicken heart and St. George's mushroom salad. The terrine was lovely, served with the roasting juices which were delicious. Hannah had fried duck egg, Trev's bacon and watercress sauce. Looking at the article posted above by Alex James, the egg is fried in goose fat with a breadcrumb coating. Although the yolk was nice and runny, the breadcrumbs had an unpleasant texture and oily taste. The bacon was in the form of lardons and the watercress sauce didn't taste of much at all.
Still optimistic at this stage that the meal could yet redeem the disappointing start. However, evidence was accumulating to contrary - neither our wine had arrived by the time we were tucking into starters, nor had we been served any bread - despite the butter and butter knife starting at us from the middle of the table. I called after a rapidly-fleeing waiter for some water who seemed to be studiously trying to ignore us (and everyone else).
Main course: again I struck luckier than my hapless companion. I had the foresight to ask how the beef came (medium-rare) and managed to change it to rare. The fillet was served simply, with triple fried chips and a watercress salad. Although unseasoned, this was quickly rectified and I have to say that triple fried chips are a pretty amazing invention with an almost obscenely crispy crust. Apart from the chips this was really just average bistro cooking however.
Although the fish pie had been the first choice for Hannah, this was also off, so she settled for lamb hotpot served with wilted swiss chard. This was a culinary cock-up of huge proportions. The idea, as far as I could tell was to deconstruct the hotpot into discrete layers. Now I am not sure why you want to do that, but if you do, I think all the components need to be cooked perfectly. However, the onions, carrots, potatoes and lamb were woefully undercooked in this case. And by woefully, I mean the potatoes were 'al dente' - if that moniker can even be applied to a potato! The sauce was thin and insipid tasting. A side of swiss chard did nothing to redeem the dish. A real disappointment. This would have been sendable back and if I thought the waiters actually cared, I would have done so.
Disappointing. The cheese order was mucked-up but eventually came as a very nice plate of Cotswolds cheeses, but I cannot award that much credit for local cheeses served properly as this is a regular event in my house! The chocolate pudding with vanilla doughnut was off, and replaced by a pretty horrid tasting chocolate cappucino which had a very unpleasant foam on top.
So, all in all, a pretty poor meal. The positives: A few items showed flashes of culinary innovation - my starter and the chips that came with the main were well above standard bistro fare. The price was keen: £80 for 3 courses for 2 people including drinks. But the negatives unfortunately outweighted them here, the front of house was seriously bad and although I heard the waitress apologise to other diners that they were seriously understaffed, the staff which were there did not seem to be operating at 100% efficiency.
I agree with anyone that wants to criticise on the basis that a lot of these points should have been picked up at the time when something could have been done about them, and that is a fair criticism. However, we are laid back diners and can let a few mistakes by an obviously inexperienced crew wash over us. For me, the only irredeemable problem really is if the cooking isn't up to scratch and I think that was the case this time.
I would go back - but maybe on a night when I was sure that Emily was cooking - I've no idea if she was this time - when I expect it to be very quiet, maybe a weekday night in Winter!

Nickloman, what a pity that you had a bad meal - I am guessing it was a very busy night and, being relatively new, they were ill-equipped to handle the big crowd, both servers and cooks. Too bad, really too bad, especially considering how I'd raved about my experience. I can only hope they get their act together so that the food is as good as I had it on every other night. Maybe they read egullet? ;)
Well, I was disappointed because the menu read really well, exactly the type of fare I really like. I think we probably picked a bad day (Bank Holiday Monday) - I felt if they had a really well-organised maitre d' the experience would have been much better, and I think a couple of dishes hinted at the possibilities. But sadly it didn't come together. I might try again off-peak and off-season.
Posted 29 September 2008 - 08:48 AM
This rang true anyway:
The paranoid resentment grew as the minutes passed without one of the offhand young waiters bringing our drinks. I asked after them. "Yeah, they're on the way," came the reply, in the manner of the minicab controller insisting that the blue Vauxhall Vectra is just turning into your street when it is, in fact, pulling up outside the government building in Pretoria.

"Somewhere buried here, I suspect, is a very good
restaurant indeed, but it wants a bit of digging up with the garden hoe of humility." I could help to think that
the same could be said of Mathew Norman, somewhere buried here is a good
restaurant critic - if only he didn't have such a big ego as to spend so long
- 2 full paragraphs! - recounting a silly drunken tale of his youth that is of
no interest to all but himself, and making prejudiced comments like
"female voices lowered in pitch by three decades of Silk Cut
and male ones raised by three hours of overly tight mustard
cords melded into one monotonous bray of merriment."
In the end, I gather he liked the food, for the most part, but felt
the place was snobby and the service careless.
Well, I believe that he may have a point, although I still say that when
I went service was just fine, and the food, much better than fine.
And judging by how busy the place seems to be, I guess many people
tend to agree with me.

Hmm, well I'm glad you enjoyed your visits there, and as I said in my review, perhaps I went on the wrong day.
However, I'd be wary of equating how busy a restaurant is with how good it is - otherwise we'd all be down Oxford Circus McDonalds right now, wouldn't we?

Some of the comments on Tripadvisor are very negative,interested to see if they have sorted out there front of house problems?
AA Gills review in the Times is perhaps worth a read if you can put up with his initial drivel
Reports appreciated.
Posted 24 February 2010 - 10:09 AM
having found it a bit off the beaten path, it was a nice looking place with an obvious 'gastopub' makeover lots of pale greens and greys (i'm sure there must be a whole page at farrow and ball now of gastropub colours as they all have them (indeed we did too)).
Given the publicity and the rave reviews from aa gill and giles coren, who contrary to popular belief i do rate, i was expecting as gill had written a demonstration of how to run a food led country pub, i think it fair to say that despite no calamatous errors i can name off the top of my head 3 pubs within half an hour drive of my house that box them into a corner in running a proper pub (ok - the star at harome, the pipe and glass inn, the st vincent arms)never mind nationally. For example only 2 real ales on tap (my local in the sticks has 9) and no fire lit on a chilly lunchtime, i wouldn't mind but the fireplace has pride of place in most of the publicity pics for the place!
so anyway back to the trip, a warm welcome at the bar offered a choice of tables whilst we had a pint at the bar and a scan of the menu. The bar snacks menu actually looked most inviting, scotched quails eggs, mini pork pies, rarebit and sourdough etc, had it not been for the fact we were dining at the hand and flowers in marlow that evening we'd have got stuck in but mindful of that we stuck to a solitary scotched quails egg before our mains.
now they make a fuss of their country location and shooting connections, but to me a four choice mains offer of 3 game dishes and a burger (in the evening, a steak) does not a balanced menu maketh, yes we know you're a country pub but we do eat other things in the sticks you know!
so that left the final choice, a home made burger of aged beef , sourdough bun , triple cooked wedges, and salad, £14.95 with cheese £16.95. Like most foodies i'm a sucker for a burger and after a 3 hour drive the thought of game didn't really inspire, so a pint of lager, a quails scotch egg, a burger and a glass of wine would hit the spot i thought.
The alarm bells then started to ring, a lady next to me was paying her bill and had her burger comped with the waitress saying ' i know you didn't really like it'. hmmm have you ever left a burger - not lest a £15 one?
then it got louder, on ordering we were told they were cooked med/rare, no issue for me but mrs m wanted it cooked through (for medical rather than taste reasons) , that was a slight issue as the waitress explained how they were cooked, 'well they're cooked sous vide then finished off etc' , hang on a minute, a sous vide burger? (think peter kaye's 'garlic? bread?' etc) and we were warned it might be a bit tough. Now here's a novel thought, just put some meat in a pan and cook it until the required cuisson, revolutionary hey?
so they arrived, i was expecting something special given the places rep but a rather disappointing small puck sized burger arrived in a pale looking soft bun, with half a plate of standard issue salad, oh and some home made ketchup. Let's just say there's somethings that are really done better on a large scale industrially. And the cheese? for £2 a reasonable slice might be expected, but no, they'd obviously borrowed the meat slicer to cut the bit on mine, you could see the burger through it, it was that thin.
The burger itself? Hmmm yes, browned on top and pink in the middle but a potentially unpleasant metallic taste, i would bet that's what put the lady diner off, i don't know if came from the aged beef being a little gamey or the sous viding, but it wasn't actively unpleasant, but to my mind there was no benefit from poaching the little fella before grilling him. sarah's was cooked though and yes as warned it was a bit hard going.
the wedges though were world class, i tried to swap the wedges for TC chips on ordering but again got caught in an english/polish mix up and left it as per the menu.
The previously demolised quails egg was cooked through so mrs m could eat it, it was good but i thought there was a fighting chance of a runny yolk, james at the pipe and glass can manage it in his .....
I had a glass of an italian house red with the burger and it was very good.
so all in all it's not a bad place, if it were down the road/ half an hour of travelling from me i'd be very pleased , but is it the best in the country? a lesson in country pubbery? No, much like ramsay's f word search, i doubt it's the best pub in oxfordshire, never mind the UK.

Substantial and warm, pair these tasteful tights with a flounced skirt and boots!
- Substantial stretch material in office-ready colors
- Control top
- 89% Nylon/11% Spandex
- Hand Wash
- Imported
These are a must have!
So far I only have them in black, but I need to order one of every color! I am 5'9" and have a hard time finding tights that don't stretch out too much, and these are perfect!
December 2, 2013
Get Multiple Pairs!!
I buy a few pairs of these every year because they are the best fit and thickness...I'm kind of thick in the butt and belly area, with smaller thighs and hips...and they hug without over hugging in the wrong places while not sagging on my smaller areas! I got the burgundy, navy, and more black ones this year and I'm still satisfied! The burgundy is a really pretty color in person, better than in the picture.
November 9, 2013
I'm 5'11" and a size 8, so tights that don't pull at the crotch are almost impossible to find. These are wonderful. Nice and long, warm without being too thick, and great durable material. I bought black, brown, and navy and will be buying more!
November 7, 2013
Great Addition
I bought these in navy and caramel, and while I haven't worn the caramel yet, I very much liked the fit and quality of the navy. They were as tight as any other tights I own, and they withstood my eight-hour work day with no runs. I may order a few more after testing out my other pair.
November 6, 2013
Good Tights are Hard to Find - but these are it!
I was a little confused by some of the other reviews. These are tights - yes, they are going to be tight, especially on top! The opaque were thick, and did not snag or run after a 12 hour day- which is fantastic, because my tights from other stores / brands typically run at the toes after a few hours. I bought these is multiple colors (navy, black, brown) and am happy with the quality thus far.
November 5, 2013
wish they weren't control top
I got a good deal on these and who doesn't need basic tights? I find control top tights in general to be kind of uncomfortable.
November 1, 2013
disappointed :(
LOVED how opaque they are. Fit is normal for tights...snug and a little high in the torso, similar to most brands. Only negative was the fact that they ran after only an hour or two of wear! I'm up and down and constantly moving, so I need tights that can take some abuse. These started to run at the seam/toe within two hours...of just walking back and forth from my office to the training room.
October 31, 2013
Good but not great
I bought 5 pairs in different colors last week. They fit great. The support is quite a bit more then I really need and go quite a bit further down the leg than what I am used to, but stay tight and don't get baggy throughout the day. I'm 5'7" and they are a perfect length for me, I could not imagine the S/M fitting well on anyone shorter as the tights could be too long.

Let's make a down payment on clean energy leadership
There's more work to be done to ensure that the earth we leave behind to our children is better than the one we inherited.
Earth Day is an important occasion to remember the strong progress we have made to conserve our precious natural resources and protect our environment. But there's more work to be done to ensure that the earth we leave behind to our children is better than the one we inherited.
So in addition to celebrating the progress thus far, I believe we should also think about where we need to be in the future, and what Congress needs to do.
By Earth Day 2014, Congress should make a down payment on making the United States the world leader in the new energy economy. How? By passing legislation to invest at least $150 billion directly into creating over 1.5 million clean energy jobs in the United States, and to cut our dependence on costly and dirty fossil fuels that are polluting our air, land and water.
By Earth Day 2014, Congress should pass a moratorium on building new coal power plants. Why? Because American consumers and businesses can save more money and employ more people by investing in clean renewable energy.
And by Earth Day 2014, the United States should commit to lead the world in combating the threat of global climate change by following science. How? By ratifying a treaty to reduce carbon emissions 80 percent by 2050.
Dominating the 21st Century economy
Leading economists say the country that masters the development and export of clean renewable energy will dominate the 21st Century economy. After all, leading research estimates that renewable energy investments create 16.7 jobs for every $1 million in spending, while fossil fuel jobs create only 5.3 jobs per $1 million in spending. That's why countries in Asia, Europe and South America are racing to transition away from dependency on costly and dirty fossil fuels.
We don't have to lose this race – but we need more leaders in Congress who aren't afraid to take on Big Oil and King Coal to fight for what our country needs.
America has ample land where wind, solar, geothermal, biomass and other renewable energies can be produced affordably, and to create manufacturing and service jobs in the sector. New Mexico has already seen strong growth in these industries over the past decade.
To pay for this investment in our future, Congress should pass a tax on Wall Street speculation. According to prominent economists, a sales tax on Wall Street speculation of only 0.5 percent could raise up to $175 billion in revenue per year.
Raising revenue this way would be fair: After all, millions of Americans are out of work as a result of irresponsible speculation on Wall Street that led to the financial crisis and then the Great Recession. We have already bailed out Wall Street with billions of our tax dollars through TARP, and it's time for Wall Street to step up to their responsibility to help people get back to work.
Congress must get it done. Our economy is recovering, but our carbon emissions are increasing along with it for the first time in two years. Scientists warn that pumping more carbon emissions into the atmosphere will only increase destructive weather patterns such as droughts and hurricanes and also harm our respiratory health. Clinging to fossil fuels is shortsighted, but investing in clean energy is a win-win for the environment, public health and jobs.
A clear choice
There is a clear choice for the environment in this race for Congress in New Mexico's First District. I'm proud that my consistent record of championing clean energy, conservation and smart growth has earned me the endorsements by the Sierra Club, League of Conservation Voters and Conservation Voters New Mexico.
In the State Senate, I sponsored legislation to direct state investments to these renewable industries. I also sponsored and passed a renewable energy jobs training bill to prepare workers to transition to these industries, and led a fierce effort to successfully defeat rollbacks of state-only carbon cap and participation in the Western Climate Initiative.
And on the Albuquerque City Council, I passed the Renewable Energy Incentive Program, which attracted clean energy jobs into the city.
In Congress, I will join other progressive Democrats to also fight to end Big Oil tax breaks permanently, getting rid of them alongside Bush tax cuts for millionaires. I will also support legislation to increase renewable energy and vehicle fuel efficiency standards. And I will fight the Republican and Big Oil Democrats' effort to gut the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act.
Finally, I will fight to protect our national parks and defend the Endangered Species Act from efforts to gut it by big developers and their allies in Congress.
Griego, a Democrat, is a candidate for the First Congressional District seat in the U.S. House.

Sony's Presentation Was Perfect, My Post Wasn't (Mea Culpa)
Received some much appreciated feedback on my post about the Sony E3 presentation video on Gametrailers.com and felt that I had to clarify a few things.
Indeed it's not THE best presentation ever, the presenter certainly wasn't being authentic, but insiders have gotten used to that from Sony :)
The point I was trying to make is that within the context that it was presented in – i.e. the E3 Game event, the Game Industry and its followers- it was a perfect presentation. But you'd have to know the shared history to appreciate its meaning and impact. For everyone else it was superfluous, but I challenge any gaming outsider to keep track of the specialist press, blogs and the community for their reaction on this event, odds are Sony created the perfect buzz…
So no, I'm not urging anyone to use LitteBigPlanet on PlayStation 3 to present the annual revenue results to the board of directors and stakeholders, or to convince your client that this new radically improved product really has to be advertised using Guerilla Marketing around a Nine Inch Nails concert in Hong Kong.
Dare to be creative and purpose driven; if Powerpoint fits in with your target and the message, than that's fine, but thinking outside the box and implementing it in a thoughtful way can work very enlightening for you and your audience.
For more on how to keep a focused and clean presentation, check out two recent riffs by Seth Godin here and here.
[As for me: This column is meant to be a learning ground for me too, so next time I'll refrain from only posting a link, slide or video and instead add a little clarification on the why and the what. Speaking of which, I seem to be having some technical issues with this site and the RSS, if anything went bogey let me know. Thanks a bundle.]

Wheat trader David Gibson sits outside the Kansas City Board of Trade on Friday, the final day of trading. Ryan NIcholson Photography for The Wall Street Journal
After spending much of the past four decades shouting at his colleagues and communicating with elaborate hand signals, David Gibson is going digital.
Starting Monday, Mr. Gibson and about a dozen other traders and brokers will swap the open-outcry pits of the Kansas City Board of Trade for suburban offices about five miles west, where they will trade futures and options contracts from computers at their desks.

A handful of traders who work for big firms are making the move north. Most, though, will stick it out in Kansas City, grappling with the technology reshaping the Midwestern city's role as an agricultural and financial hub.
"Over the last few years, things have gravitated towards the computer," says Mr. Gibson, 67 years old, who plans to set up a brokerage business across the river from the exchange.
After hard red winter wheat was introduced to the region in the 1870s by Russian Mennonite immigrants, Kansas City's railroad lines carried the grain into the city's flour mills and out to the rest of the country and beyond. The exchange became a global destination for farmers and grain buyers to hedge the price of wheat, with trade fueled by a Russian grain crisis in the early 1970s and the Carter administration's 1980 grain embargo.

The financial sector, underpinned by decades-old investment firms like Waddell & Reed Inc. and American Century Investments and brokerages built around the wheat exchange, has made room for new entrants like high-frequency trading firm Tradebot Systems Inc. and BATS Global Markets Inc., an eight-year-old electronic exchange company that ranks among the world's busiest stock-market operators.
Tradebot and BATS were both started by David Cummings, a former member of the Kansas City Board of Trade who quit the exchange in 1998 to put computerized muscle behind his trading strategies.
"It was a cool place in the day, and it was where I learned to trade," says Mr. Cummings. "Technology always marches forward."
The traders whose multicolored jackets once festooned the KCBT's pits now are forced to fall into step. Hundreds of traders and exchange staff once packed the exchange's Main Street building, but their numbers began to dwindle after overnight electronic trading was introduced in 2004.
When CME in February announced plans to close the Kansas City pits, more than 90% of the market's main wheat contracts were trading electronically, and only 50 traders remained on the floor. About half that number have stuck around for the floor's final days, traders say.
"Everybody's sentimental," says Frank Stone, president of Kansas City Trading Group, a futures firm based in the exchange building that will put its floor traders behind electronic terminals starting Monday. "That's where the adrenaline was."
Some Kansas City locals say the exchange was known for a more "gentlemanly" style of trading than practiced by their peers in Chicago and New York, a culture reinforced by the fact that many of the traders and exchange employees went to the same high schools in the area.
The exchange perhaps was too guileless at times. A Soviet film crew sought permission to film trading at the exchange in the 1980s for what the producers said was a documentary about the U.S. grain industry, but turned out to be a propaganda film that derided capitalistic Americans fighting to trade loaves of bread.
Traders also battled other species. For a time the exchange hauled in trays of wheat samples so brokers could vouch for the grain's quality. Mice followed, occasionally finding their way into the pneumatic tubs once used to communicate with upstairs offices.
Though the Kansas City pits have fallen quiet, the traders and staff who remain are apprehensive about leaving. They say they will miss the market chatter that often drives trading. "I'll have all that on my screen, but not as vivid as it is here," says Roland Balthazor, who works on the Kansas City grain desk of Newedge Group. After 47 years at the exchange, he will work from home starting Monday.
Mr. Gibson says the new office he is setting up aims to replicate the hustle and bustle of the floor by clustering together traders who once rubbed shoulders at the exchange. Eventually, he says, about 25 traders will be based there.
Continuing to work together will keep the traders more focused than if they were working separately from their homes, he says.
"All of a sudden it's 2 p.m., they haven't shaved yet, they're wearing their pajamas and haven't talked to anybody," says Mr. Gibson. Besides, he says, it's tough to give up friendships won over many years. "People like to talk about the football game, or go out and have a beer after work."

While you might be able to get a remodeling project completed before the holidays if you start right now, chances are you should be looking at 2014 to make sure it gets done properly. But that doesn�t mean you should wait to get the ball rolling.
The National Association of the Remodeling Industry (www.nari.org) offers homeowners tips to prepare for a remodel on its website.
�Once we meet with a client, it generally takes between one to two months before they select the products and make final decisions so we can start,� said John Newmyer of Newmyer Distinctive Remodeling, (248) 669-3500, www.newmyerremodeling.com. �So this is a good time to start planning for next year.�
Newmyer said homeowners quite often have a misunderstanding of the budget needed for a project.
�Some people go to online websites like Zillow to get an estimate of project costs, but these usually aren�t accurate,� Newmyer said. �If you really want to know what things will cost, I recommend they visit a contractor�s showroom and talk with the person who does it instead of relying on websites.�
Joe Aiello, president of Pine Building, (248) 539-9600, www.pinebuilding.com, agrees.
�In my experience, people think a project will cost about half of what it really costs,� Aiello said. �Fortunately, there are financing options available if they still want to do a project but have underestimated the cost.�
�With many buyers fighting over the available homes for sale, there aren�t as many deals on the housing market as people think,� Aiello said. �And often, those homes need lots of work, so people are staying and remodeling because they like their home and know what they have done to it.�
According to Aiello, the first thing homeowners should do is to determine their needs.
�Sometimes we meet with people who think they want to add a family room, but when they analyze their family�s needs, they realize they need to add more bedrooms,� Aiello said.
He also said many homeowners are not fond of the current layout of the home, so they want to re-configure it to add living space and make it more comfortable. And while people think that they can only do inside projects during the winter, Aiello said that his crews can work year-round on projects like second-story additions.
Both Aiello and Newmyer said that the planning also needs to take into consideration the fact that building departments in many cities are understaffed these days, so it can take longer to get plans approved.
�We also like to talk with local planning officials before we start to make sure any project stays within the city�s zoning restrictions,� Newmyer said.
One of the popular remodeling trends Newmyer sees is that people are spending more time entertaining at home and that translates into a need for �gathering� spaces.
�We are seeing a lot of people wanting to open up their floor space and create a kitchen and great room gathering area,� Newmyer said.
He also said that in many homes the living room has become the �looking room� and is being turned into a formal dining room instead.
Kitchens are still one of the most popular home remodeling projects, and Newmyer said that the new kitchen appliances feature some innovative technology.
�Lines are much cleaner in the kitchen these days, and we are seeing trends like a microwave drawer instead of on the countertop or above the stove,� Newmyer said. �You also see the warming drawer making a comeback, and a trend towards induction cook tops and single ovens.�
In bath remodeling projects, he said there is more of a focus on larger-sized ceramic or porcelain tile with cleaner grout lines, and unique features like heated floors and �curbless� showers.
One thing to remember when planning your project is that due to the down economy in Michigan over the past few years, many contractors have moved, so the good ones that remain are extremely busy. That�s why planning now for 2014 will ensure you go to the front of the line to get your project completed in the new year.

LCSC takes Whitworth title, improves to 12-0
Spokane – The Lewis-Clark State College women's volleyball team stormed past Montana Western 3-1 and Whitworth 3-0 on Saturday to claim the Whitworth Invite title and move to a perfect 12-0 on the season.
Pitted against Frontier Conference member Montana Western, LCSC took its first match in four games 25-14, 25-13, 20-25, 25-18, and then overpowered host Whitworth 25-21, 25-14, 25-18 in the final match day.
The Warriors led the five-team round-robin tournament with a 4-0 record, Menlo College finished second with a 3-1 mark, Whitworth went 2-2, Montana Western 1-3, and Whitman ended 0-4.
The No. 16 ranked Warriors have now won three straight tournaments and have won nine of their 12 matches by way of 3-0 shutouts.
LCSC blew by Montana Western, as Anile Clemente, who earned her second straight tournament MVP title, carried the offense with 16 kills and a .311 hitting percentage.
Julie Maciboba, also named to the all-tournament team, collected eight kills. Abby Bruya and Lisa Davis kept the offense on the attack with 23 and 17 assists respectively, and Linday Scott, after her record setting 39 digs in Friday's match versus Menlo, led the team with 15 digs.
Montana Western, led by Theresa Bennet's 14 kills, drops to 2-7 on the year. The Warriors will face the Bulldogs again on Sept. 13 in a home conference match.
In Lewis-Clark State's match against Whitworth, Maciboba and freshman Josi Lyman led the way for the Warriors as they both had 10 kills and a hitting percentage of over .300. Bruya notched 20 assists while Davis had 18, Dana Christiansen had four blocks, and Scott ended with 24 digs.
After the loss Whitworth now stands at 6-2 on the season.

It's the Great Pumpkin Race, Charlie Brown
The weirdest regatta in Maine takes place in Damariscotta over Columbus Day weekend.
You might expect to find a lot of things in the water off the coast of Maine. Boats, brave swimmers, humpback whales — they all frequent our miles of coastline. But go to Damariscotta on Columbus Day weekend, and you'll find something big, round, and orange jetting around in the water.
No, the clock has not struck midnight. And yes, those are giant pumpkins in the water. Welcome to Damariscotta's Great Pumpkin Fest and Regatta, where giant pumpkins take to the shores of the Damariscotta River for a day of racing and inevitably wet fun.
This year marks the fourth anniversary of this festival, but it wasn't always so formal. The idea came about when Buzz Pinkham, the owner of Pinkham's Plantation, a landscape and garden center in Damariscotta, was reading a book on what to do with giant pumpkins. One of the suggestions was to build pumpkin boats. (A handful of pumpkin regattas are held across the country and throughout the world.) "I said to my buddy, Bill Clark, 'We gotta do that.' " Recalls Pinkham. "He looked at me and said 'I'll grow pumpkins, I might even make a boat, but I'm not getting in it.' "
The first year Pinkham and Clark didn't know whether they could pull off their plan and certainly didn't expect spectators. "We built a boat, and we snuck into town, and we were going to launch it to see if it would work," explains Pinkham. "Well, riding through town with a pumpkin and a outboard motor attracts attention." Almost one hundred people watched that first year. The second year, a couple of hundred more viewed the spectacle. Last year there were thousands of spectators lining the water's edge and the town streets.
The festival events have expanded accordingly and now include pumpkin displays — carved and painted by local artists — as well as some tasty pumpkin-flavored treats such as pancakes and ice cream. And, of course, there are the aquatic events. The regatta is divided into three categories: paddle boats, motorized boats, and super-modified boats (think pumpkins outfitted with fiberglass and hydrofoils). Ensuring that the boats float and move is half the battle and perhaps of less importance than the decoration. Anything from pirate flags and garden gnomes to fluorescent paints and elaborately themed designs — complete with captains in costume — are encouraged and can be spotted riding low in the water. Last year even the Damariscotta police were on hand, armed with speed guns to help set the Guinness World Record for the fastest pumpkin boat: ten miles per hour. Due to an untimely emergency, the police were unable to make it official, but the stage is set for this year.
"Last year everybody was pretty excited in town," explains Clark, who is also the head of the Maine Pumpkin Growers Organization, which promotes "the sport of growing giant pumpkins" across the state. "It brought huge amounts of business to Damariscotta. But, he warns, "the whole thing depends on if 2008 is a good growing season."
And growing a six hundred to eight hundred pound pumpkin is no easy task. "That's the ideal size," says Clark. For a captainable pumpkin, that is. Last year the state's largest pumpkin was quite a bit heavier, weighing 1,028 pounds. (Pinkham and Clark's pumpkin was even larger, at 1,266 pounds, but was disqualified due to a crack.) "I probably spend four hours a day during the week and eight hours a day on the weekends working on the plants," admits Clark. Reasonable, considering a pumpkin can grow twenty to thirty pounds a day, and the plant in its entirety can span from four hundred to eight hundred square feet. In hopes of increasing participation in the regatta and in giant pumpkin growing in general, the Maine Pumpkin Growers Organization gave away more than five hundred seedlings last spring. They hope to see more massive pumpkins in the river as a result. Pinkham is right: "Pumpkin mania is catching on here in Lincoln County."
IF YOU GO: The Great Pumpkin Fest and Regatta runs through Monday, October 10 through 13 in downtown Damariscotta. For a schedule of events contact the Damariscotta Region Chamber of Commerce at 207-563-8340. To read about how to grow your own giant pumpkin, click here.

I've finally got around to it.
You can blame Bill Gates (X64 doesn't run my PC suite for my phone) and my laziness for the delay.
It all started a bit like this:
First sight of the island wasn't all that appealing:
The coach ride to Corralejo
The resort was nice:
Next day we explored the town:
and rented a car.
Drove to the beach:
The photos a bit deceptive, the wave was a decent surfable size, and while it was a beach, the break was caused in a few places by huge acres of underwater rock, sort of mini reefs so it was nice and predicable.
The evening started a little bit like this:
And ended up here:
The next morning was a late one, hangover powered!
Full English breakfast at a cafe here:
When i spotted this cheeky fellow:
Anyway, we were told the best surf was on the north shore, so off we drove:
Unfortunately we ended up on a rally track:
The result being something like this:
Then disaster strikes!!!
I scraped up all down my right hand side on a close encounter with some black Lava reef. Weeks later I'm still scarred!
Cue a quick trip to the local surf shop to replace a shredded set of board shorts:
more bar life
the flat
the beach
Strange van painted like a house:
Christmas dinner:
Sleeping off christmas dinner:
Some italians we got drunk with:
Me, drinking neat vodka out of the melon of doom:
Melon related head disorder:
And finally.....
That big plane home.

Alright so we want yugi, yami, tea, Joey, and tristen. Then add my character and the bad guys.
Okay. So Other than me playing Yami. I can be Joey and Tristen.
Hmmmm. Think we could add Kaiba? He somehow always gets himself stuck in things like this x3 It was Capsule Monsters that Kaiba wasnt in it. I was amazed but it was kinda cool that Mr. Motou was in it this time and got to see what Yugi and Yami were made of. Plus Grandpa was pretty awesome himself in Capsule Monsters.
I may see if I can put a few good and/or bad guys. Would have to think really hard.
All done! I'm at Epcot so posting will be off and on.
o.o DUDE! I always wanted to go there! But in 06 I was in Florida and went to afew of the disney parks. Animal Kingdom. Typhoon Lagoon. And Magic Kingdom. :3
Really?! Awesome! I hope it turns out awesome for you! x3


text: It is the end of the day and I am finishing up working on a set of UAA records that came in this month. One of my favorite parts of this collection is ACC's Adult Literacy Laboratory Project (ALL Project) records. The program began in 1971 and ended in 1982. The collection has curricula/programs developed by the ALL Project. Right now we only have a short portion of the run, but I enjoyed browsing through the variety of fun ways teachers taught subjects that inspired terror in both my high school and adult self. There are fun math games and booklets that breakdown the process of doing one's taxes. In the archives, we recognize the life cylce of a record is a continuum. Uses cannot simply be divided into linear path from primary use, secondary use, or tertiary use. When it comes to me using them, I'll definitely get some 'secondary and tertiary' use out of these guys. But for me the best way to use these guys right now is 'primary use.' Math is nothing to be scared off. Sure, it's math that steadily eats away at my bank account. But with the power of math, maybe I could make math work for me and eventually reach a nice balance!
