People are demanding more and more from the webpages they visit. Sure, they do want information. I like to think InDepthInfo provides that, at least in the topics we cover. But I think they are looking for gadgets, widgets, and what have you as well.
Fooling around, I decided to write a Php script that converts Fahrenheit to Celsius to Kelvin. It made me think that it would be interesting to build a whole website on Temperature and Thermometers. This fit in well because there are so many folios of pages in InDepthInfo that have temperatures on them. So I took the extra step of writing a little script that, placed in the code, will take the visitor to my temp conversion page.
Another aspect of dealing with temperatures is the internationalization of the webpages. Since many of my webpages have temperatures in Fahrenheit, I went through and made sure that Celsius is at least given a parenthetical mention.
InDepthInfo actually does get a fair amount of traffic from other English speaking countries. I think this may be because some of the writers I have engaged for short periods have hailed from England, and their styles and spellings might lead the search engines to favor them in UK, Canada, and Australia. It is important not to leave them in the dark when dealing with temps.
I believe giving the extra little bit of effort will ultimately be rewarded.

Get a life
Every year 100,000 Britons seek the services of a life coach. Do you need one, too? Viv Groskop doub
By Viv Groskop Published 15 January 2007"Don't jump on the bandwagon." This is the advice that life-coach guru Fiona Harrold has been giving to the hundreds of former counsellors and psychotherapists who have come knocking on her door, hoping to rebrand themselves as life coaches. "I refuse them," she declares. "I say, 'You're a psychologist and that's a great thing.' I see so many book jackets now where five years ago the authors called themselves a psychologist and now they are a coach. It makes me laugh."
Life coaching is the biggest growth area in the self-help world. As dysfunctional coaching- convert Warren crowed recently in This Life Plus Ten, the industry is worth an estimated £50m a year and rising. Life coaching is "where it's at".
The concept is largely accredited to Thomas J Leonard, who founded a training centre called Coach U in Arizona in 1992. Two years later he set up the International Coach Federation and the idea went global. The London-based Coaching Academy, the UK's biggest coaching school, has trained 10,000 new coaches over the past seven years, and the Association for Coaching, also based in London, aims to pull in 2,000 members by the end of the year.
Becoming a coach or, as some prefer to be known an "agent of change" is, in fact, a doddle. The industry is unregulated and no genuine qualification is needed, so anyone can decide to become a life coach, quite literally, overnight. And the incentive to do so is there. "Agents" can charge anything from £30 an hour to thousands of pounds a day. "Of course, some people will come to it thinking that it is an easy way to make money," says Harrold, whose own book on the subject, Be Your Own Life Coach, has sold millions of copies.
One estimate puts the number of life coaches currently practising in the UK at between 80,000 and 100,000. Oddly enough, another figure is bandied about, too: that 100,000 Britons used a life coach in 2005. This works out as one life coach per client, which sounds about right. Many online testimonials reveal that many only decide to become coaches after having been coached themselves. But none of these statistics are official. Because there is no official life coaching body, the numbers are impossible to verify.
January is life coaching's busiest time of the year, with thousands of recruits signing up for help with their New Year resolutions. But the executive and corporate sector is still the most lucrative. Specialised coaches offering mentoring services to top-level execs can earn as much as £10,000 a day. Last year, it was reported that Patricia Hewitt and other cabinet ministers use £250-an-hour life coaches to "cope with the pressures of government". No 10, the Home Office, the Foreign Office, the Cabinet Office, the Department for Transport and the Treasury have all used coaches, or "critical friends" as they preferred to be known in this particular case.
"What you realise talking to senior business people and executives is that everybody has them but no one wants to talk about it," says one high-profile London-based businesswoman, who keeps in touch with her American coach by phone. "I've had a number of lunches where I've mentioned it. People lower their voice and admit they have one, too."
A small group of charismatic life-coach gurus including Harrold, now practically a household name thanks to her book and appearances on Channel 4's Faking It, are skilled at inspiring others. She started out as a "self-esteem consultant" more than 20 years ago. This group would do what they do whatever it was called and regardless of whether it was trendy and there was money to be made from it. But then there are all the rest. "Coaching is unregulated so you are at the mercy of whether it's crap or not," says the businesswoman. "A lot of it relies on you using y0ur own skills and judgement."
Why do they do it?
Which begs the question: why do people need to visit a life coach? According to the "experts", people who need coaches are those who are not satisfied with the status quo or who want to feel differently about their future. They might be seeking clarity and resolution, evaluating their career options or facing difficult choices. Almost all will have some sort of anxieties or relationship concerns. Most will want to gain deeper self-understanding and acceptance. So, that's pretty much everyone, in one way or another.
Getting a helping hand with public speaking to boost your chances of climbing the next rung on the corporate ladder is one thing. But experts in psychology are concerned that vulnerable people are not receiving the treatment they need. Phillip Hodson, fellow of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, believes that coaching can never be effective unless coaches train in some form of therapy. "Life coaching uses a model that is contradictory to most established psychotherapies. It is goal-focused not client-centred. It addresses symptoms rather than causes." This creates not only a risk for the patient but a public risk as well. "After all," he argues, "there is the issue of personality disorder. How on earth are you going to recognise one if you don't know what it is?" Frank Furedi, professor of sociology at the University of Kent, has also spoken out against life coaching as intrusive and a waste of money, observing that: "There's a growing idea that human beings lack the competence and resources to cope with everyday life."
All this won't stop it from growing, however, says Hodson. "As a society we are now ready to address the question of our alienation but we don't really want the answers to hurt. It's like wanting to do your bit for climate change but keeping the 4 x 4." He adds the killer blow: "If the power of positive thinking could solve all our problems we wouldn't have any."
Harrold dismisses this out of hand. "People want results and why shouldn't they be given the tools to get them?" she says. "People don't want navel-gazing. They want to be able to walk into the office tomorrow and get a promotion."
Life coaching explained
So what is it?
"A collaborative solution-focused, results-orientated and systematic process in which the coach facilitates the enhancement of work performance, life experience, self-directed learning and personal growth of the coachee." Anthony Grant, University of Sydney, 2000.
How is this different from traditional therapy?
Life coaching looks to find solutions to the problems rather than to solve the causes. Coaches encourage their clients to use "cognitive techniques" - aka, thinking - to unlock the key to success.
What qualifications do life coaches have to have?
None. Anyone can become a life coach. But many reassuringly cite their years of experience in "human potential".
Who needs a life coach?
According to the experts themselves, just about anyone who is cheesed off with any part of their life.
With no professional body to regulate, how do you know which coach to choose?
London-based life coach Sally Ann Law, one of the first coaches listed on Google, has sound advice. "Absorb all the information available to you," she says on her website, "then listen to your heart and your head about whether you think this person appears credible and empathetic." So as long as decision-making isn't your problem, you should be OK.
How can I find out more about life coaching?
Another pearl from Law. Try an internet search, she suggests. "Enter 'life coach' and you'll be inundated with options."
How much does it cost to become a life coach myself?
Anywhere between £700 and £3,000
How much does a life coach earn?
Well, logic suggests success. Top earnings are thought to be £10k a day.

Coaching is now on the BACP website?
I have just found out that the BACP have a coaching forum called BACP EXPERT AREAS - COACHING.
Some counsellors and psychotherapists have become overnight life / executive / corporate coaches - it's astounding to see them do this without even doing a coaching diploma.
What is needed is a coaching licence to protect the general public.
There seems to be an assumption being made here that therapists and counsellors are rebranding themselves as coaches. In an earlier post I asked the question why should therapists be excluded from the coaching profession? I obviously did not make myself clear as I meant why should therapists be excluded from TRAINING as coaches? As a therapist I understand the value of both training and ongoing development and would treat it as unethical to be working in an area outside my level of competence and expertise. I know many therapists who are also coaches - but only after training to diploma level in coaching. I am not saying that therapists never work as a coach without appropriate training - but I have yet to meet one.
Coaching is now on the BPS website?
I have just found out the the British Psychological Society have a Special Group in Coaching Psychology.
I wish to highlight Philip Hodsons earlier comment -
" Life coaching uses a model that is contridictory to most established psychotherapies "
- If this is true then why are the BACP & BPS setting up coaching groups with links to each other?
Fiona Harrold is correct in what she has said.
Philip takes it upon himself to speak for society when society can speak for itself. It's not for a counsellor to make a diagnosis - it's for a professional with a medical qualification.
I really do hope that society remembers that Philip Hodson media spokeperson for the BACP has made the distinction between life coaching and therapy.
Therapists who ask for coaching fees may be offering psychotherapy in the name of coaching - that's why we need a licence system to protect the public.
Life Coaching has been going for about 15 years in the UK without BACP OR BPS support so any claims that they should be considered as experts should be questioned.
It's not just re-branding that's going on - it's U-TURNS -and re-writes of history with counsellors and psychotherapists claimiing the financial rewards for work that was never done to bring coaching to the UK.
A number of comments have been made here about counselling that I would like to add to.
I was very suprised by the comment about NHS Direct's view on counselling and would be intersted to be told where they state the reported opinion on counselling. What I found on the site was that counselling "involves talking with someone who can help you to find your own solutions to your problems, and gain a greater understanding of your feelings and actions...The counsellor can encourage you to identify issues more easily and take personal responsibility where appropriate".
Of course counsellors are not coaches, but surely many of the skills of the counsellor are core interpersonal skills that can (with coach training) create excellent coaches. A good coach keeps appropriate boundaries - surely someone with counselling training will be acutely aware of where those boundaries are. Why should any particular training or skill preclude someone from becoming a great coach?
The comments about regulation are accurate. There is no statutory regulation of counselling, but that is under government review at the moment and will be redressed in the next few years. Of course there is voluntary accreditation (as with coaching) with bodies such as BACP or UKCP.
Life coaching is like being a reporter you don't have to have a qualification. But many coaches do. I am a qualified coach - I underwent a comprehensive training that was externally and independently accredited . There are also international organisations, like the ICF, that do a huge amount to enhance the quality of the coaching process. Many coaches retrain from being therapists, counsellors and teachers to become coaches i.e.professionals enhancing their skills.
My course cost just under £4000 before books, travel, phone, time etc included. A significant investment.
If you want bad information, make a point to support a prejudice or be a 'tabloid' journalist go to a poor source. If you want good information ask Anthony Grant at the University of Sydney - a highly respected coaching authority on coaching operating from the Psychology department of a leading university, asking a memeber of the ICF Board or ask me. I have been involved in the training, development and ongoing CPD of several hundred excellent coaches who are also great people most of whom earn £10,000 to £20,000 per year as they are more interested in enabling people with a real need than making a stack of money.
There are poor coaches like there are poor anything else. It is buyer beware. Look for accreditation, qualification and most of references and referrals. Experienced coaches get a big part of their business as a result of great work they have already done.
Noble Manhattan Ltd are training me to be a Life & Executive Coach. I am working towards accreditation with the European Coaching Institute. Training is costing me about £3,000 and the quality of training is superb. I have such confidence in coaching that I have hired my own coach called Karen Greenwood who has been using her skills and expertise to secure me real and tangible results, all of which are evidence based and measurable.
It's true that many politicians have been using life coaches including the Prime Ministers wife (see google)
Fiona Harrold is absolutely correct that former counsellors and psychotherapists are trying to jump on the coaching bandwagon even though their previous training and passion has been in the treatment of those with emotional and psychological difficulities.
I have read Fiona Harrolds book 'Be Your Own Life Coach' and the day that I get my European Accreditation will be a very happy one!
Many thanks to Fiona for inspiring a new generation of coaches.
The highly respect British Association of Counselling and Pychotherapy have a a book on sale in their online bookstore called 'Life Coaching Skills'. It's so highly recommended that it's plain to see that counsellors and psychotherapists at the BACP love Life Coaching so much that they are reading all about it and wish to aquire life coaching skills.
Any body can call themselves a counsellor or therapist...their are no laws to prohibit that claim.
What's really important for the general public to know is that if you research the Internet and look at counselling versus coaching you will see that they are the opposite of each other.
It disturbs me to think that counsellors and psychotherapists who deal in diagnosis of disorders would wish to become life coaches as they seek to repair than empower the general public.
When applying for a BACP registered training course they ask for evidence of personal development. Life Coaching is brilliant for personal development as it helps improve confidence, sense of balance, ability to achieve life goals and aspirations.
Counselling and Therapy on the other hand tends to rely on dysfunctional labels and digging deep into a persons personal life...sometimes digging up painful memories from the past or even childhood.
Life Coaching is embraced by world leaders. Nelson Mandela, Tony Blair, Bill Clinton, Oprah Winfrey, Richard Branson....the list is endless and the facts found on Google.
Life Coaches apply for accreditation...it's important that the general public ask for details of that accreditation just in case a counsellor or therapist trys to mislead them to believe that they have trained and gained experience in Life Coaching when they have not.
NHS direct has information as regards counselling and it states clearly that their is little clinical evidence that it works at all and only has a short term benefit.
If you want to talk about qualifications...what sort of qualification do you or half the journalists in the UK hold?
They seem to feel they have the right to hold forth on anything without the least need to actually research it: very arrogant.
This was an especially lazy piece of journalism. Life coaching doesn't claim to be therapy, so why compare the two?
And why didn't you conduct any interviews with people who found life coaching helpful or worthwhile?

mjrstar's 79 bugeye starlet
Posted 29 April 2010 - 08:31 AM
Also after your thoughts on just making it into a dedicated race car and turfing the 1G in favour of something else?
Posted 29 April 2010 - 09:08 AM
Posted 29 April 2010 - 09:17 AM
Posted 29 April 2010 - 10:20 AM
I like Bug-Eye Starlets and although that bulge on the bonnet is for the turbo because it's not able to go anywhere else... it looks horrific. Still though, a straight 6 in a Starlet is fucking magic
The bulge is far from ideal, I'd love to go to a smaller twin scroll turbo on a low mount manifold and fit the spare mint bonnet i have stashed.
The problem with the car on the whole is that it's been built to work rather than look pretty, which of course i am now regretting.
I guess mounting the turbo in the boot might make it a bit laggy.

Such a cool little beast. The 1g is cool until you kill it, seems like a lot of hassle getting bits for them.
Posted 29 April 2010 - 10:21 PM
Awsome! what barand and full profile are those tyres?
Tyres on that one are 205/50/15 dunlop 02G (mediums). they were the control tyre for targe up until 2 years ago when they switched to 03G's.
I have a set of both 03 and 02's for my *cough* evo *cough* they do make for a nice sticky road tyre if you can put up with the high wear rate and uber road noise.
as for finding bits to repair 1g's well yeah it seems like it's up there with rocking horse shit, although with some 4k big end bearings, 3s mains have got that part of the equation sorted..

where ya get it?
cost if there was one?
Need something along those lines for my van.
Posted 28 June 2010 - 08:33 AM
No idea what it would cost to build sorry.
I have probably got a few more pics of it somewhere..
Posted 28 June 2010 - 06:56 PM
Posted 28 June 2010 - 07:31 PM
Getting it closer to the road was more for the look than trying to find more handling/grip, some aero aids are probably on the list if i get serious about handling.. not sure if i can be bothered with that in all honesty.
Does anyone know if those TRD duck-bill spoilers actually provide any downforce?
Posted 28 June 2010 - 07:46 PM
And yeah, was just wondering about the handling as in the feel of the car, because mine is very heavy with 15's on it, wondering if raising it abit at the front would perhaps lighten it up a bit for some reason.
Posted 29 June 2010 - 08:27 AM
15's are a must to cover the brake package..
when you say "heavy" are you talking steering or more to do with the increase in unsprung weight?

Earlier this year we finished a highly successful campaign called the Developer Movement to help you build Windows Phone apps and get great prizes in the process. In fact, it was more successful than we could have ever imagined! That's why I'm pleased to announce that today (as in RIGHT NOW), the second iteration of the Developer Movement is NOW LIVE! With this new phase, we have enhanced our prizing structure and we have opened up the contest to those building Windows Store apps for Windows 8 as well. Time to get coding!
That's right! Microsoft Canada's award-winning contest to help Canadian developers build awesome Windows Store apps, Windows Phone apps and Windows Azure services is back and bigger than ever! As of right now, you can sign up for the Developer Movement and start building your apps today.
Basically, if you publish a public app to the Windows Store, Windows Phone Store or publish a production-hosted Windows Azure service, you have a chance to win some great prizes in addition to your apps being available for customers to download in our online Stores.
If you do decide to join the Developer Movement (if you're Canadian and want to build Windows Store apps, Windows Phone apps and Windows Azure services, you really should!), you'll be on your way to some great opportunities for your apps.
In addition to just publishing apps and getting points for prizes, we will also be holding monthly contests or challenges for you to enter as well. In addition, by taking Windows Azure labs and learning how to build services on Windows Azure, you also have a chance to get even more points toward prizes.
So here are your go-do's:

If you're looking for a position group on the Packers roster that might be infiltrated by an undrafted free agent, running back is a strong possibility.
Ryan Grant is likely gone, James Starks can't stay healthy, Alex Green is coming off a bad knee injury and Brandon Saine is unproven. Here's a look at the Packers 2012 undrafted free agent running backs and why they might have a shot at making the team.
Duane Bennett, RB, Minnesota
Height: 5-9
Weight: 213 pounds
Pro Day Results: 40-yd. dash — 4.62; 20-yd dash — 2.70; 10-yd. dash — 1.56; 225-lb. bench reps — 28; Vertical jump — 35.5″; Broad jump — 10'00″; 20-yd shuttle — 4.16; 3-cone drill — 6.92.
Career Notes: Finished with 2,126 rushing yards, 13th in Gophers history. … 639 rushing yards on 166 carries (3.85 avg.) senior season. … 96-yard kickoff return for TD against Wisconsin week 10 of senior season. … Blocked a punt and returned it for TD senior season. … Earned freshman All-Big Ten honors. … Sophomore season ended after two games due to knee injury.
Because I live in Minnesota, I get a chance to see the Gophers play on a regular basis. The Gophers are usually a chore to watch, but they had a few intriguing teams under Glen Mason. Using offensive lineman that were a bit undersized but extremely mobile, Mason built the Gophers' offense around a running game that featured guys like Marion Barber III, Laurence Maroney, Thomas Hamner and Gary Russell.

The number of apprentices in the sport and active leisure sector has increased 600% in the past five years, according to statistics released in time for England's National Apprenticeship Week (6-12 February).
SkillsActive, the Sector Skills Council for Sport and Active Leisure, issued 9,342 Apprenticeship certificates in the year ending September 2011- up from 1,271 in 2006.
SkillsActive interim CEO Suki Kalirai says the figures show more employers in sport, fitness, caravans, playwork and the outdoors are realising the value of Apprenticeships.
"By using Apprenticeships to train new and existing staff, these employers are reducing business costs, investing in their future workforce and helping alleviate the nation's unemployment crisis."
Fit for Sport training manager Jack Shakespeare says 15% of the organisation's 70 permanent staff train through Apprenticeship programmes; by 2013, he expects that figure to reach 50 per cent.
"Apprenticeships are, in our experience, the most successful way to recruit, develop and retain effective employees," Jack says. "We are using Apprenticeship programmes to build a well-trained, motivated and loyal workforce which will help us grow and develop our business."
Outdoor education provider PGL has 180 apprentices across its operations in the UK and France.
PGL Apprenticeship programme manager, Jo Mortimer says: "Apprenticeships are a cost-effective way to provide staff who may not have travelled the academic route with the skills and qualifications we require. Many of our apprentices have developed their management skills and gone on to work at higher levels within the business."
Apprenticeships are a package of on-the-job training and qualifications which take between one and four years to complete. There are 13 Apprenticeship frameworks available in the sport and active leisure sector in England, covering job roles as diverse as activity leadership, playwork and spectator safety. SkillsActive has designed each framework in consultation with sector employers, to ensure they provide the skills businesses need.
Suki explains that Apprenticeship programmes are not just suited to large employers; small and medium sized businesses now have the opportunity to access funded training through SkillsActive's Group Training Association.
"Our Group Training Association enables employers running small to medium enterprises to group together and access funded training that would otherwise be out of their reach. This training is delivered through SkillsActive's network of approved National Skills Academy training providers.
"I encourage all employers, whatever their size, to talk to one of our account managers about how Apprenticeships could work for them."
To celebrate National Apprenticeship Week 2012, SkillsActive is offering a FREE training package to the first 25 employers to register their interest in Apprenticeship funding on our website.

While, I appreciate and admire his efforts, let's hope this guy either has a large house or doesn't generate that much trash. Things could get stinky.
Jonathan Alcorn /The New York Times/Redux Pictures
David Chameides is collecting all the trash he generates in a year in his home in Los Angeles in October 2008. Anti-global warming zealots go to extreme measures to minimize their carbon footprints. They watch electric meters the way anorexics obsess over scales. They bike long distances to avoid driving or mass transit, recycle positively everything, eschew heating and air conditioning and avoid air travel.

It would rebuild much of the economy of British Columbia and change everything from our relationship with Asia to our BC Hydro capacity.
Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman came to the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce Tuesday and laid out the case for getting British Columbia into liquified natural gas in a big way.
Coleman talked about the increase in gas exploration over the past few years.
"Something unbelieveable happened," he said. "We found more gas than we thought we could possibly find." He was talking about the Liard Basin find in northeastern B.C.
Running the gas to the United States by pipeline would not be economical, due to the cost of getting it to market, Coleman said.
But sending the gas to Asia will provide more money and access to economies that need power and want to stop burning coal.
"We went after that market," Coleman said.
He wants to see liquid natural gas (LNG) ports in Kitimat and Prince Rupert, a huge new infrastructure to drill and ship the gas. It could mean $490 billion in direct impact and $600 billion in indirect impacts to the B.C. economy, said Coleman.
"It means no debt," he said. "It means you can pay for health care for your aging population."
It would also mean increasing the power producing capacity of B.C. by 25 per cent, through new dams and upgrades to existing BC Hydro facilities.
It means new transmission capability to the Northeast, and a huge need for new workers: "We will need a whole new generation of workers," he said.
Coleman promised it would have benefits for companies throughout the province.
"There are companies in Langley providing things today to the natural gas industry," said Coleman.
From pipes to building entire portable mining camps, he said, local producers will benefit from the gas boom.
Along with more mines that are coming on line now, Coleman said, it will set B.C.'s future for generations.
"This is our time for some unbelieveable stuff," he said.

ST. LOUIS (February 22, 2013)--Snow blankets much of the nation's midsection Friday.
In some places as much as 17 inches fell, shutting down airports, schools and state legislatures.
The storm system swirled to the north and east Thursday night, its snow, sleet and freezing rain prompting winter storm warnings from Kansas to Illinois.
Forecasters said the storm will continue its crawl overnight, hitting the upper Midwest by Friday morning.
The system produced impressive snow accumulations, especially in Kansas, where a foot and half of snow fell in Hays.
Thirteen inches covered Wichita.
Numerous accidents and two deaths were linked to the icy, slushy roadways.
Most schools in Kansas and Missouri, and many in neighboring states, were closed Thursday and legislatures shut down in Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Nebraska and Iowa.
Northern Oklahoma received between 10 and 13½ inches of snow.
Missouri's biggest snow total was 10 inches, shared by the Kansas City metropolitan area, Rockport in the northwest corner and Moberly in the central part of the state.
The storm was expected to drop 3 to 9 inches of snow in Iowa overnight, while Nebraska will get another 2 to 5 inches.

Back in January I introduced you to my office tomato, a mystery volunteer plant that I began nurturing for its delicious tomato leaf smell. Well, it looks like Mystery Tomato is about to offer up something else that is delicious — it's making fruit!
Here is a photograph of my plant in the window it lives in, taken just this morning. The plant is over 2 feet tall now. I have steadily upgraded it into bigger pots as it has grown. It could have been taller, but I buried a large portion of the stem when I last upgraded it as a way to ensure a more stable root system. Its current pot is 9″ deep and 10″ wide at the top.
Surprisingly, the plant isn't leggy. It's growing in a south-facing window and it seems to be getting just enough light to keep it happy. Any less and I'd be concerned. One of the biggest challenges around growing tomatoes indoors through the winter is the lack of sunlight. For the most part, the sun isn't bright enough and the days are too short. Tomatoes need a lot of sunlight to produce fruit. If you want to try growing your own, I'd recommend growing dwarf varieties that are less demanding and will fit underneath supplemental artificial lights. My plant is much too large for that so the most I can do is turn it regularly so that it receives an even amount of light on all sides, and hope for sunny days.

Roxbury Park Community Center project
December 2013 field and irrigation work November 2013 walls and insulation October 2013 HVAC system installed September 2013 framing has taken place. August 14, 2013 Start of foundation being laid. August 2, 2013 letter sent to residents: click HERE. Work is progressing on field improvements, the new field restrooms and playground equipment. See the PowerPoint presented at the July 30th special meeting of the Recreation and Parks Commission and City Council liaison for more information. Ground is broken! On Tuesday, June 4 2013 the official Ground Breaking ceremony was held and the construction of the future Roxbury Park Community Center is underway. On Tuesday, June 4 from 2 - 2:30 pm the official groundbreaking ceremony for the new Roxbury Park Community Center took place. On May 7 the Beverly Hills City Council approved the bid for the new Roxbury Park Community Center. Fencing goes up around the existing Roxbury Community Center on Thursday, May 16. The Community Center, south parking lot and basketball courts will be fenced off. All logistical details are located in the FAQ section, below. From toddler art to senior movie screenings, from dancing to workshops on using social media, from summer camps to resident birthday parties and from the annual Senior Health Fair to Woofstock, Roxbury hosts the programs that bring the Beverly Hills community together. We invite the Beverly Hills community to follow the progress of the new Roxbury Park Community Center from inception to groundbreaking to grand opening. Click here to skip to the Frequently Asked Questions Section, which includes information on preschool, tennis and programming. If you can't find the information you're looking for on this page, please contact us. Programming currently located at Roxbury Park has been temporarily relocated in anticipation of construction. (Above: park entry view and the interior courtyard.) The new Roxbury Park Community Center is beginning to take shape. Based on input from park users, neighbors and visitors, the new Community Center has many innovative features and modern improvements. The new facility is envisioned as a light-filled space with lots of glass so that the park, in essence, can come inside. It will have an entire suite dedicated to the needs of seniors, a larger multipurpose room to provide for community gatherings, teen dances and cultural programs, and a larger library annex. Both interior and exterior spaces will be improved, including the creation of an indoor-outdoor courtyard where patrons can enjoy park views. New playground equipment will be installed, the park restroom will be rebuilt and athletic field drainage issues will be addressed. With new technologies and sustainability measures such as solar panels on the roof, we are ensuring a Community Center that will be enjoyed for years to come. Did you know? Roxbury Park serves about 4,560 meals annually to seniors in need, provides 20 young children with an outstanding preschool experience, hosts eight specialty youth camps each spring, winter and summer break, is home to both the popular Beverly Hills teen and senior dances and offers over 70 enrichment classes every year to all ages. (Above: street view from the east and park view from the south.) Residents should be the first to know about progress on the new Roxbury Park Community Center. Please enjoy the preliminary renderings of the new community center on this page.There will also be frequent updates on the Rec and Parks Facebook page: "like" the page if you haven't already! (Above: proposed floor plan of the new Community Center.) Your input and participation has led to a plan we can all be proud of. Thanks again for your support and feedback. You can download a copy of the Roxbury Park Master Plan PowerPoint that was presented to the Recreation and Parks liaison on November 19, 2012, or a copy of the PowerPoint presentation given at CIty Council on October 2, 2012 that highlights the latest design. I just noticed those fences! When did construction begin? Fences went up around the existing Community Center, south parking lot and basketball courts on May 16, 2013. An official groundbreaking ceremony took place on Tuesday, June 4 2013. When will construction occur? Construction will only occur between the hours and 8 am and 6 pm on weekdays. The project is expected to last about a year. During construction, what will happen to all the events and programs that occur at Roxbury? The Beverly Hills Community Services Department is proud that it's been able to relocate all Roxbury programming and staff during the construction. Many programs will be temporarily relocated to La Cienega Park. Click here for details on the new locations for Roxbury classes, which moved the week of April 8, 2013. Click here for details on the new locations for Seniors programming and Senior nutrition, which moved the week of April 29, 2013. Click here to download the schedule for the free shuttle for seniors running between Roxbury Park and temporary locations. What's still open at Roxbury Park? The Roxbury Park administrative office has moved--with a reduced staff-to the Clubhouse building just north of the construction site/Community Center. The hours of the administrative office are 8 am - noon and 1 pm - 4 pm Monday-Friday. The athletic fields and field restrooms will remain open for the time being. In late fall 2013 a second phases of the project will begin, with improvements to the athletic field, field restrooms and playground. Picnic tables are still available for use on a first-come, first-served basis, or for rentals. The preschool and tennis courts remain open, however because the construction fence goes right to the edge of the tennis court, some players might be bothered by the noise and dust from the construction. Where else can I play tennis in Beverly Hills? We welcome you to explore the La Cienega Tennis Center, a public recreational facility not far from Roxbury Park. Click here for details and rates. How can I find out about Recreation and Parks classes, programming and registration? The City of Beverly Hills' Community Service Department is maintaining a full slate of classes, programming and camps throughout construction. Please click here to download our quarterly brochure for all the details and click here to go straight to our registration page. What if I have more questions? Contact the Community Services Department/Recreation and Parks Division at 310.285.2537 for more information. (Above: the proposed Roxbury Park Community Center site plan.) The Roxbury Community Center project is just one way The City of Beverly Hills is improving its parks. The California Park and Recreation Society's slogan is "Parks Make Life Better." Here in Beverly Hills we're also making parks better. The City is supporting the massive Beverly Gardens restoration project, outdoor fitness equipment was recently installed at La Cienega Park, significant recent improvements have been implemented at the La Cienega Recreation Center, an enhanced outdoor seating and lounge area at The Beverly Hills Tennis Center was introduced, a complete makeover for Hamel Park in underway, improvements to the Formal Gardens at Greystone Park are complete and public art restoration is happening throughout the City's open spaces. The Community Services Department, under the guidance of the City Council, also continues to explore possible locations for a future dog park in Beverly Hills.

Alesha Dixon Joins Roobarb and Custard In PDSA Campaign
Alesha Dixon wearing Custard shirt
Bulldog Licensing has announced that classic brand Roobarb and Custard has linked up with animal charity the PDSA with a new range of fantastic T-Shirts, which have been modelled by Strictly Come Dancing star Alesha Dixon!
Roobarb, the madcap green dog, and his feline adversary Custard were created by Grange Calveley in the early 70's and were the stars of the Bob Godfrey directed BBC cartoon series Roobarb. Narrated by Richard Briers, only one series was made originally, but the trademark wobbly animation, zany storylines and the fiendishly catchy theme tune made the show into a cult sensation and it won a legion of devoted followers of all ages during the 70's and 80's. The dynamic duo returned to UK screens in 2005 with Roobarb and Custard Too, which has since broadcast continually on Channel Five, pulling in a whole new generation of fans.
The new 'I Love Dogs' and 'I Love Cats' t-shirts, which are available in two colours for both men and women, have been produced by Poetic Gem and are rolling out now, with a percentage of every sale going towards the PDSA. The charity provides medical care for over 400,000 pets each year and is currently raising funds to build three urgently needed pet hospitals.
The PDSA designs add to Poetic Gem's fantastic Roobarb and Custard range, which is performing extremely well at retail.

text: Delta Region Driving the Delta Village Creek Golf Course, Wynne Arkansas's flat, open Delta land could be likened to the terrain of the Scottish seashore where the game of golf was born. It has a special appeal all its own. One sees it in the quiet, cypress-studded lakes or in lush fields at harvest time. Delta golfers enjoy a variety of unique golf courses and interesting views as they play the game--from courses with rice silos near the fairways to courses that make the most of Crowley's Ridge, the scenic anomaly which rises 250 feet above the Delta land around it. Follow The Great River Road To More Challenging Courses You'll need your oversized driver. The Arkansas Delta runs from one end of the state to the other along our eastern Mississippi River border with a nice run of golfing along the way. Playing north to south, tee off first at Piggott's Sugar Creek Country Club 9, followed by Corning's 18-hole Victory Lake Golf Course. Then go for a quick round at Blytheville's small, picturesque nine-hole municipal course. Be ready to use all your clubs at RidgePointe Country Club at Jonesboro, where the six-lake, 6,500-yard course is the center point of Jonesboro's upscale housing development also known as RidgePointe. Jonesboro's new Sage Meadows is an 18-hole Tommy Bolt signature golf course, and it is one of Arkansas's many unique golf courses by famous golf course designers. Be sure to play the Jonesboro Country Club 18, the Paragould Country Club 18 and the Trumann Country Club 9 while in the Jonesboro area. Next up is more challenging 18-hole golf at the Meadowbrook Country Club at West Memphis, the Forrest City Country Club and the Helena Country Club. The Grand Prairie Country Club at Hazen, the Stuttgart Country Club and the Oak Hills Country Club all offer nine challenging holes to test your game.

Just because something is an imitation, doesn't mean it can't be incredible. To prove it, we've gathered 17 finds based on one of our favorite fall trends: faux fur.
But, make no mistake — just because we're talking about a fake doesn't mean it's going to look anything less than luxe. In fact, some of these fuzzy finds look almost — if not better — than the real deal. Not to mention, they're a heck of a lot easier on the wallet (cha-ching!). Whether it's a cozy coat or a punchy purse, being ethically responsible never looked (or felt) so good.

modified the first one to a different style kind of.
Overall, I'd like to hear what you think.
modified the first one to a different style kind of.
Overall, I'd like to hear what you think.
Chill, the swirl in the S (first pic) screams toy IMO, make sure not to have any shit like that in your throw, at least not yet. As for the rest of the the throw, it's boring. I think the second one has the most appeal; work with that. One more thing, you seem to have a problem with your letter spacing, it looks like the letters after the first letter are too tucked into the previous one. Give them a little more breathing space.
Oh, almost forgot, one golden rule: don't sketch your throw, you wouldn't sketch it with paint, would you? Of course not.
Besides, the only thing worth sketching with paint/a pencil/a pen is a piece.
Keep it up.
Ibu, which letters, of the 2 throws, would you say are the best ones and should be carried on or played with? I'm kind of fond of the "L K" in the 1st one. But of course, that's coming from my toy perspective.
Crits welcomed ^_^
Ewal - Your throw should all flow with each other letter.
lado - I personally like the top better(minus the swirl)
mm - I would just bring down the top right side of the S down just a tad.

^god damn your throws and hands are ugly. the STOMP one is the only one that I can look at without being annoyed... Try simpling em up a bit, because the slight complexity your tryin to put on those letters look terrible. Work on hand movements and cleanliness with simpler letters, then if you really want come back to this style and fuck with it.
i strongly disagree. nothing wrong with these throws at all. they flow real nice.
the handstyle, yeah it needs work. but the throws are great, nothing's ever perfect. but they DEF aren't ugly !
theyre not clean, their inconsistant, and they are most definetly ugly. If I saw them in high traffic+high graffiti area location id chose him to cover in a heartbeat
to each his own opinion i guess
I'm with Phat on this one, I like em.
@ ribcage ,,, i dont understand u ... iv only posted on this site a few times .. every time uv commented on any my flicks its been hate ..
but thats ok .. im used to that much like all of us ... but i do agree with u that my hands are ugly and some of the throws are wack but not ALL of them .. i put alot of time into my throws and for u to degrade my work pisses me off ...soo say something constructive soo u dont like such a fag . even if ur the best graff artist ever to be put on earth . if thats ur attitude then i belive u are wack . deemed to be road kill ......
but anyways why dont ya post one of these SICK ASS STEAZY throws u claim to be soo good at there captin
ribcage is bullshitin on this one. the Humr throws are good, keep writin em.
Your throws have potential, but that doesnt make them good. Maybe its the picture quality that makes em look dirty... but Im sure that your throws are on the same level as your tags. THe lines on your throws look sketched out, not one clean line.
No need to get butthurt and start saying I think I know everything, I apologize for being too blunt with you, didnt know it was gonna hurt your feewings.
so I guess in your eyes I dont know throws, but how can someone that dont know throws tell someone else about throws?! pandamonium. Stop assuming you know anything

For good chorizo try your local farmers market. I have met the man that makes mine and it is excellent. I imagine that many places where you can find grassfed beef and pork you can find sausage and chorizo that is made by hand
Your local butcher or high end market that does charcuterie would probably be helpful in this instance.
Soy is not Paleo (it contains lechtin toxins, as do all beans). Also, added salt is not Paleo, nor is hot sauce (which contains a multitude of vineagars and sodium preservatives). A 'butter substitute' sounds like it would not work either. Any dairy is not Paleo, nor would a 'substitute' for dairy sound like it would work.
Use olive oil for the pan, cook eggs, chorizo, and onions together. May want to add a green in this, possibly basil or diced peppers, for a best taste option.
My question is. How much Chorizo do you use? We make our own in my home. Just need clarification of portion
I get grassfed beef chorizo from my local Farmer's Market.
I like Chorizo and Eggs!! I used the soft kind as I couldn't find hard chorizo. It is great but 1/2 onion is too much for my taste. I suppose it depends on where you buy your onion and the size. The ones from Central Market are huge and 1/8 or 1/4 probably would have been better.
buy chorizo from your local farmer.. that's going to be your best bet.
This was good but I think the proportions were off too but that's just to my liking. For one serving, I used 1/8 onion and it was perfect. I used 3oz chorizo instead of 1/4 lb and I thought it was a little too much. I was so full from the 2 eggs & chorizo that I couldn't even finish the meal! Will def make some variations of this using other ingredients.
Caveman's chorizo? WTF
When a recipe calls coconut oil. How do you distinguish between liquid and solid.
Halved the recipe as posted (down to 1/4lb chorizo, half a pepper, quarter onion, two eggs). Used chorizo without casing. Added a couple of radishes, quartered and sauteed. Made a good-sized breakfast for a full-grown man.
Finished with La Vic orange sauce, because I'm not a purist.
This was delicious and filling!
Followed directions exactly. Absolutely awesome. Quick and easy. Great taste! Found the chorizo at Food Lion.
Red pepper or red bell pepper?

Configure the Active Directory Infrastructure
These questions are based on 70-640 – TS: Windows Server 2008 Active Directory, Configuring
Self Test Software Practice Test
Objective: Configure the Active Directory infrastructure.
Sub-objective: Configure trusts.
Single answer, multiple-choice
You are the administrator of your company's Windows Server 2008 single Active Directory forest. The forest consists of one domain, named verigon.com. All servers on the domain run Windows Server 2008, and all client computers run Windows Vista. The functional level of the network is Windows Server 2008. Verigon has decided to purchase a company called DreamSuites. The DreamSuites company network consists of a single Windows Server 2003 domain, named dreamsuites.com.
The users in the sales department of Verigon need to access files from the sales department on several servers of DreamSuites. The server at DreamSuites is named Server1. You must configure access for Verigon's users, but DreamSuites users must not be allowed access to Verigon. What should you do?
- Configure a one-way external trust where dreamsuites.com trusts verigon.com.
- Configure a one-way external trust where verigon.com trusts dreamsuites.com.
- Configure a one-way shortcut trust between the dreamsuites.com domain and the verigon.com domain.
- Configure a one-way shortcut trust between the verigon.com domain and the dreamsuites.com domain.
A. Configure a one-way external trust where dreamsuites.com trusts verigon.com.
You should configure a one-way external trust where dreamsuites.com trusts verigon.com. A one-way external trust will allow an explicit trust to be created between a Windows Server 2008 forest and a Windows Server 2003 domain. The domain providing access to the resource is configured as the trusting domain, and the domain supporting the users who will gain access to the resources is configured as the trusted domain. To allow users to access resources on Server1 in the dreamsuites.com domain, the dreamsuites.com domain must trust verigon.com domain.
With outgoing forest and external trusts, you can specify either selective or domain-wide authentication. Domain-wide authentication provides users from a trusted domain the same level of access to local resources as users from the local forest. Selective authentication allows users from a trusted domain to authenticate only to those resources they are explicitly allowed to authenticate. In this scenario, the sales department at Verigon needs to access sales department files on several DreamSuites servers.
You can configure domain-wide authentication since the Verigon users need access to several resources. If the Verigon users needed access to a single server, you could use Selective authentication to ensure Verigon users only had access to the single server.
You should not configure a one-way external trust where verigon.com trusts dreamsuites.com. This action will allow the users at dreamsuites.com to access resources in the verigon.com domain. This is opposite of the objectives stated in the scenario.
You cannot configure a one-way shortcut trust between the dreamsuites.com domain and the verigon.com domain. A shortcut trust is configured to allow access to resources between two domains that are logically distant from each other in the Active Directory tree. These domains must reside in the same Active Directory forest, which verigon.com and dreamsuites.com do not.

You may be asking yourself, why would I want to go through such a process? (For the first part of this discussion, see Holding Patterns.)
Well, in the simplest of terms, habits, patterns, and psychologies become the bars of a prison of our own making in this life. They limit our freedom, limit our possibilities, and, sometimes, make us not very nice people.
For example, we all have fears or psychologies about certain things. This could be a fear of looking foolish or vulnerable, so we stop trying new things. It could be a fear of intimacy, so we push away the people who love us most. It could be a sense of inferiority, so we don't ask for that raise or promotion or, if we are in a position of authority, we are abusive of our position and people come to fear or hate us.
Emotional patterns can arise in simple conversations, when someone uses a certain phrase or tone of voice that causes an overreaction in us. We may say something that creates a rift that cannot be mended, or that just causes us pain and anguish for days or weeks. All of us do it all the days of our lives, and negative emotional patterns operate on the same principle in our system as the skills to be a concert pianist: we have done them so often they have become second nature to us.
We could say, these patterns, habits, and psychologies are the tunes we dance to in our lives. When the right music begins to play, we get up and dance – we can't help it. We no longer think about where they originated, or why we do them, we just do them repetitively. And again, we make the mistake of thinking they are "us," when they are not. Depending on circumstances, our habits and patterns could have all been positive, beneficial ones, if we'd had the proper kind of upbringing and education (which very few on this planet receive).
And that brings us back to personal development. The first thing to consider in this is: who and what do I want to be? By that I mean really sitting down and asking what I am passionate about and why. Then the question becomes: what prevents me from attaining that?
What prevents us will have many levels and degrees of subtlety, so they won't be discovered all at once. That's why we need to find a way to become aware of them when they arise. When we get a flood of emotion, we should ask ourselves, where does it come from? Then try to recognize it in all the ways it creeps into our lives. In doing this, we are basically shining a light into the attics of our life, and using our awareness to clean out what's no longer worth saving.
It takes patience and time. And it requires that we forgive ourselves all along the way, because we had little or no say in the way we were raised, or about the world we were born into. We can't help the past, we can only try and take control of the present and help shape our own future.
The benefits to this are enormous, and include decreased stress and anxiety, increased joy and happiness, and a greater understanding of how our systems work, so we can be the guide and orchestrator of our lives. But the beautiful part is that we can start today to change our lives for the better, and when we do it will also have a wonderful effect on those around us.
It's not a process of fixing everything, it's about minimizing what doesn't serve our purposes, and maximizing what does. Once we get the hang of it, our systems will pick it up and begin to help us. That's when we can really begin to dance our own dance.

Cragganmore 12yr -- The Best of Speyside?
I sat down with my father-in-law for a dram of Cragganmore 12yr.
Here are some of the notes we put together:
Nose: Fresh, crisp and intoxicating. Nothing distasteful, but everything blended together to alert the senses that you are about to drink a good whisky. I am having a hard time detecting anything coming out from the background.
Palate: Cool and refreshing as it hits the tongue, building in mass as it wakes up the sides of the mouth.
Finish: Medium-long finish, releasing a pleasant taste as the whisky goes down the gullet. Nothing bitter, nothing peaty, nothing distasteful. The entire experience is the essence of a great, malty whisky. The chest warms as the taste of a solid Speyside lingers. Hints of honey, heather and nectar on the finish.
This is definitely a whisky I would recommend for those who want to step up to a single malt after enjoying the blended scotches that are out there.

Fusion Peruvian Grill
Online Reservations
I found Fusion while exploring San Mateo restaurants on Open Table. I was looking for a new place to have lunch with a friend. It had excellent reviews and our lunch experience did not disappoint. The staff was friendly and helpful in explaining the menu as neither my friend nor I had experience with Peruvian food. The bread and dips that we had before our orders arrived were delicious and our orders were, too. If you dine here, you will have an excellent meal in a friendly neighborhood restaurant. Both my friend and I plan to return.
Excellent food - astonishingly so, considering the very reasonable prices. Three of us had ceviche and several different main dishes, all with lots of seafood. Then we tried lucumba ice cream whhich was, as advertised, a lot like butterscotch, and a custard desert that I can't remember the name of - like flan. Everything we had was great and the service was very friendly. This isn't a fancy up-scale place; more a comfortable neighborhood gem.
The modest appearance of the building and neighborhood belie the excellent quality of the food and service at Fusion Peruvian Grill. Our waiter was attentive and helpful in suggesting dishes, and the menu full of interesting items. The Tacu Tacu con Lomo was a standout, and the mixed calamari appetizer was also very good with the spicy dipping sauces provided. On top of everything, the prices are very reasonable. This one is a keeper.
The food was EXCELLENT!! Extremeley favorful. Served quickly. HOwever, 2 issues arose. Dishes were cleared from two of guests, while one guest was still eating main course. Makes it very uncomfortable for guest still eating if plates are cleared away. Etiquette is to not remove plates until ALL guests have finished the meal. Second 1 of our guests was still eating her meal and the check was brought. Very rude !! Again - not supposed to happen.We were not asked if any desert was wanted either.We will go back, because the food is so very tasty, well put together, nicely presented, and tasted great!! We have recommended the restaurant to many friends. I just hope there will be improvement in proper table clearing/bill etiquette.
It was my husband birthday and there were group of 6. We really enjoyed the atmosphere , our waitress was Friendly, patient and professional young girl. Owner was very nice and caring person, We really had great experience and definitely we will go there again. Food was awesome.
We know nothing about Peruvian food but everything we ordered was delicious. We had the ceviche, chicken, steak and a seafood fried rice. All well prepared and a nice portion size.
This "B" Street restaurant is a good way to sample Peruvian style food and beers. The waiter explained the dishes and their contents and was very professional and friendly. The menu also contains a word list of Peruvian terms for the items on the menu. The room itself is windowless, but has its own charm, much like restaurants in South American Andes. Food is cooked to taste, filling and delicious. It is truly a "grill" oriented cuisine. The five of us enjoyed the meal, the beer, and the experience.
I enjoy the food and the service staff, they are very friendly. I think they lack in personnel which prolongs the turnaround service, the entire restaurant was full and the had one guy taking orders, one girl at the counter and one cleaning the tables. The food is on point, i enjoy their sampler plate, ceviche, and lomo saltado. I've also tried their papa rellena and the noodle dish. All seasoned the way i like it and not over bearing. I recommend the food.
The food was pretty good, the service was great. They take your order on an ipad and send it directly to the kitchen. While some of the dishes are a bit on the pricy side, the rest is very reasonable for what you are given. $14 for half a rotisserie chicken with two side dishes (salad, beans, french fries, boiled sweet potatoes, sweet potato fries). Overall it is a great hidden gem not too far from downtown san mateo.
I have been to this restaurant twice and so far it doesn't disappoint. We ordered two different ceviche's to share, one was grilled and the other was uncooked. Both were really good but I personally preferred grilled. When I first came I shared the rib eye steak with eggs, fries, and fried plantains with my partner. This second time around we were celebrating my boyfriend's dad's birthday and most of us ordered our own plates. For drinks, some of us had a sangria, corn drink, and beer. We also had dessert. One was with quinoa which was a pudding. I thought this one was good but very sweet. The other dessert we had was the short bread cookies with ice cream and I enjoyed that one very much. Definitely a must try restaurant.
Having spent a few weeks in Peru we often crave Peruvian food and of course Pisco Sours. We tried this place for the first time last Sunday and it satisfied our craving. The food and drinks were excellent! It was as if we were back in Cusco eating dinner along side the Plaza de Armas. The wait staff was very friendly but a little understaffed. The food was worth the wait!
FUSION PERUVIAN GRILL was surprisingly EXCELLENT to my friends and myself! Thanks for the recommendation, OpenTable! Awesome choice! gc in uc
While looking at restaurants in the San Mateo area, this one popped up. The food was very good and the service was too. Great little place if you're looking for something close to home and reasonably priced.
Inside this little restaurant front is a pretty sizable dining room. We ordered the Bistek and the Causa appetizer as well as the Paella, and they were all so good. The plates were hearty portions, and very tasty. The only negative was the red sangria we ordered which was too sugary, and the fruit we found looked like it was fruit cocktail from a can. That was disappointing. Overall, it was a great dinner with attentive service.
Hidden Gem in San Mateo. My only complaint was the table cloths. Use real cloths it feels better. Otherwise my co-workers and I loved the food.
The food at Fusion is bursting with the flavors of Peru. We had a large group of 8 and every dish was excellent and beautifully presented. The lamb shank entree received high praise for flavor and tenderness. Other praises went to the chimichurri filet and the seafood with rice (paella). Service was friendly and efficient- we will be back!
I had never eaten Peruvian food before, but my boyfriend and I decided to give this place a try. It is not in a very obvious or busy location, and seems like nothing from the outside. But when you enter you head back towards a larger dining room, with colorful paintings and Peruvian music playing. Our server was quick and friendly, and gave us food recommendations. Our dinner came out promptly and was delicious!! I was super impressed, and we gobbled up everything. The portions are a hearty size, and they bring out bread with 3 different dipping sauces. You have to try the Pisco sour which the drink of Peru. So tasty! I would definitely come back here again.
The food vas very good this is a place that we like to go often any time its good
From East 3rd Ave drive on B Street until you see Carniceria Mi Rancho. Next to this on the right, is the small front of Fusion Peruvian Grill. Bar in front, with dining room in back. A "must " on your visit includes a carafe of red sangria (best I've had, so delicious and fruity), Fusion Sampler (gives you a taste of several wonderful bites), 1/2 Pollo a la Brasa (our sides were plantains and rice), and Mil Hojas (1,000 sheets cake with vanilla ice cream) for dessert! You will not leave disappointed! Being off the beaten path allows for smaller crowds, and lots of free street parking. But does not sacrifice a wonderful dining experience! Service is good, and they'll gladly answer any questions you have regarding the menu.
The food is outstanding and the service is excellent. Parking is a problem on B Street but worth the challenge of circling the area until you find a spot. The lamb shank and paella-type dishes are heavenly. We've been there for both lunch & dinner and enjoyed each time. Owner Pedro and his staff go out of their way to make this a friendly, neighborhood gem with excellent food and reasonable prices. Each new couple we introduce to this restaurant go back on their own and rave about it to their friends.
It was quiet Sunday evening so a crowd wasn't expected, friendly staff, good recommendations, good flavor!

This lacelike pattern is made from a hard substance that has turned as fragile as fabric. Norman Barker, an associate professor of pathology and art as applied to medicine at Johns Hopkins University, took this photograph of the femur of a woman between the ages of 45 and 50 with osteoporosis. It shows cancellous, or spongy, bone, the network of interconnected spicules that form inside a bone's stronger outer layers. Cancellous bone provides the framework on which bone marrow cells grow and also makes essential minerals available to the body. In osteoporosis, the spaces between the spicules start to get bigger, "and this awakening of the bone leads to fractures," Barker says. Using new software tools, he stitched multiple images together to create an unlimited depth of focus for a better look at how osteoporosis ravages the body. "This type of image would have been impossible to capture just a couple of years ago," Barker notes.
