It's back in business for me with winter fishing in the Upper Bay and Providence River. I landed a dozen fish in my last two outings on Zoom flukes threaded onto lightweight jigheads. At least two of those fish were keepers. So, the bite is back!

Kensington gossip - Calgary
103-305 10 Street NW
A new tea shop just north of the Carpenter's Union hall.
They have just started renovating their space - new paper covering the windows in the last coupleof days.
Vero Bistro Moderne (not Velo as John M. had previously noted
)209 10 Street NW
Beside Fiasco Gelato
The renovations seem to be mostly complete.
They are advertising for front and back of house staff so the opening should be soon.
my bad :) "Vero" sounds good!
You forgot one- "winebar" where the danube used to be- I hear it's Muse's take on a charcuterie type of thing.
Also I heard Fiasco is closing their Kensington location, too bad but that's a tough space, long skinny and dark- still, it would just kill to have a REALLY good coffee place go in somewhere...
Two questions-
1. Anybody been to the new Thai place where most recently Tibet on 10 was? I don't hold out much hope for anything there but am still curious. They had a lunch buffet for about one week and I went to check it out and no more lunch buffet :( so I departed and had the curry (yes, again) at Sungate.
2. I notice that Lula is gone- too bad as that was a neat store- any news about what's happening in that space?
re: John Manzo
Re: the "Muse" space - it wasn't on my (albeit short) tour path. The times I have passed by, the door was open and the lights on so I assume work is progressing but I haven't made the descent - the last time I took a good look, the place had been gutted but that was a month ago. I will try go by some time this week and give a better report.
I was thinking about lunch at the new Thai place as well but it was closed so I ditched for a steak sandwich instead.
re: John Manzo
Lula - it is becoming an American Apparel store.
re: cancowboy
Well I'll be damned- seems too small for an AA (the one by my house must be 10,000sf, on 17th) and I saw they were opening in Market Mall.
You're a great info source cancowboy!
edited- just checked AA website, 130 10 St NW, yeppers. If it has to be a chain I must say AA has a bit of an edge.
re: John Manzo
Thanks but merely snoopy.
And they were kind enough to post hiring ads in the window.
I bow before the master.
re: John Manzo
Re: Winebar (there is a nice little paper? sign now at the top of the stairs)
I tried to take a look but they have very efficiently covered all the windows.
Except for a small peephole at floor level at the bottom of the stairs which gives you a good look at construction debris. From what little I could see, it looks like a work in progress - no visible completed anything.
Looks like late summer at least before it will be open.
An aside: My original rumour had Winebar going into the Polish Combatant's Hall but I see there is a For Sale sign on the building again - this is the third or fourth time that it will be changing hands.
re: cancowboy
The Polish hall will be a hard sell- no visible windows and generally an unwelcoming facade- it reminds me of the Crete Social Club here in Bankview; it's like it's trying to be invisible, and is succeeding.
re: John Manzo
Last time I looked as I drove by the Polish combatants club the front was being changed up.
re: The Gut
yes, but also FOR LEASE in front. May still sit empty for years and years.
Of note- The Canadian Bible Society where the futon store was closed (what a surprise) and the property is now "SOLD."
re: John Manzo
http://delicious-thai.com/ still under construction - a semi-hidden link lead to http://delicious-thai.com/frontpage.html
Prices are roughly on par with Ruan Thai (from an 20007 Waiters En Route menu).
I should preface this by saying I have no idea what Thai food should taste like.
I went to the restaurant @ 5:30 on Sunday - no one in the place yet.
A quick look at the takeout menu and I settle on the shrimp pad thai - a safe choice for my inexperienced palate. 10 minutes later I am on my way home.
Overall, I thought the dish was fine. It looked like the pad thai pictures that I had Googled. I expected the veggies and noodles to be crisper in texture for some reason but it tasted ok.
It was good enough for me to consider trying the restaurant again some time but perhaps with a more knowledgeable guide.
re: cancowboy
Miss L and I went to *Delicious Thai* in Kensington for lunch yesterday. The deep fried chicken wings stuffed with pork were really nice, flavorful and very different for a Thai place. We both liked that. The chicken Pad Thai was very disappointing. It was dry, very light in color, and had an overwhelming fish sauce flavor that just wouldn't go away. Pretty sure there was MSG too, as my head began to act up almost immediately after lunch. This Pad Thai was nothing like any other I've had. Linda agreed. The service was nice and friendly.
re: Bagel Guy
how do they stuff chicken wings with pork?
re: nonlinear
de-bone, stuff.
re: John Manzo
oh, right on! i've never seen such a thing!
re: John Manzo
Re: Winebar
I was having brunch in KP and someone mentioned that Winebar would be open in the next week or so.
re: cancowboy
Well. peering into the tiny slit in the window covering today (Aug 24) - I'd say that's being very unrealistically optimistic, but let's hope for the best.
re: John Manzo
Walking past Winebar today.
The limited peek in the (mostly) covered windows shows a lot a progress towards being completed.
Also a "Change of Use" notice was posted in one window - last date for comment was October 1st. So maybe mid-October for opening????
re: cancowboy
Excellent, can't wait to try it out...thanks for the update.
re: John Manzo
I happened to walk past Sungate this morning and there is a "For Lease" sign in the window and the place looked emptied so I assume closed for good.
re: cancowboy
Has anyone tried this place yet? I've looked at the menu a couple of times but it's a bit pricey for just a 'it's Tuesday I don't feel like cooking' type day.
re: magrat22
it got a very positive review in ffwd this week.
re: magrat22
Also reviewed here.
re: magrat22
I was at Vero Bistro Moderne with a friend 2 weeks ago - and we absolutely loved it. We had a reservation for 9:00 and were informed that we were there in time for the full dinner menu as well as the tapas menu. The tapas menu is available until 2 am. Our server was very attentive and knowledgeable. We shared the shrimp balls/cakes from the tapas menu. They were delicate, had a beautiful crunch and a lovely mango sauce to go with them. I had a ribeye steak that came with a gorgonzola cream, truffled mashed potatoes and veg of some sort. It was the special of the evening and also came with a 2 ounce red wine pairing ($37). It was fantastic! My dinner companion had the duck breast from the dinner menu. I can't remember the specifics of his dish, but it was delicious. We met the chef/owner (Jenny). She is a lovely woman who clearly has a passion for the business. We ordered a dessert to share (creme caramel - also delicous), and Jenny sent us some complimentary sauternes to enjoy with the dessert, as well as some homemade truffles. It was a great meal, and I'd highly recommend it.
Take Ten is gone. I walked by yesterday and the windows are papered up.
A small sign in the door says "????? Sushi" - sorry I forgot the name; I should have posted yesterday. No opening date but it shouldn't take too long to redo the interior - assuming they are not going for the full restaurant makeover.
So that will make 4 sushi restaurants in Kensington.
An embarassment of riches.
re: cancowboy
Is that the one on the corner of 10th and Memorial Drive? The one that changes ownership/formats every year?
re: cancowboy
OOH! The breakfast place. Thanks!
re: cancowboy
The restaurant will be named Tenshi Sushi.
Also, one of the Japanese restaurants may be changing hands by the end of the year - most likely candidate is Zeal Sushi.
re: cancowboy
Zeal is pretty good... changing hands and changing restos are just ownership change?
re: John Manzo
I believe ownership change but I have no concrete details.
And Zeal is just a guess by elimination - not Globefish obviously; Sushi Club just renewed their lease and did some minor renos; Tenshi is too new (my impression was that the establishment was already a going concern) which leaves Zeal - I know Zeal had been on the market within the last year.
Besides I think my rumor record has only been about 50/50.
Speaking of which, I peeked in the window at Winebar and they don't seem to have made much progress from the last time I looked in.
re: John Manzo
I spoke to the owner of Zeal Sushi and confirmed that the restaurant had been sold - without his partner, keeping Zeal going was becoming overwhelming and he needed a break.
The new owners will be renovating and adding an actual kitchen plus bathrooms. I don't know how they will manage that in such a small space and maintain enough seating .
re: cancowboy
Just a final note on Sushi Zeal
The doors are closed and the windows papered over (for about the last week).
A big dumpster in the back so renovations are underway.
re: cancowboy
FYI Tenshi Sushi opened this weekend.
Fiasco's contract comes up in 2009 and I'm pretty sure they're not going to renew it. Do you guys have any ideas for what will go there in it's place? Or what you would like to go there? I personally wouldn't mind an independent bookstore but not many would agree with me. Another restaurant would be nice, I guess.
re: cn1822
Fiasco is way way WAY too small for a bookstore! Besides, I think the days of new indie bookstores ever opening up anywhere- aside from strip mall used Harlequin romance ones that litter small towns all over NA- are over.
A GOOD coffee place would be killer for Kensington. And you are correct, Fiasco is moving out.
re: John Manzo
I was thinking that a bookstore in the area (kensington) would be nice, not in that particular spot. But that spot is pretty small for most things. The spot where fiasco is, wouldn't be the greatest place for a sit in coffee shop. What's a good shop that could fit there do you think?
re: cn1822
Well there is already a fantastic indie bookstore over on Kensington Rd- not that we couldn't always use more.
It is indeed a bizarre, narrow, tiny space- I guess something that could do with a somewhat sunny front and private back- and I hate to say it but that is the perfect setup for a tanning salon, something Cgy does NOT need more of!
re: cancowboy
Great news!
And wow, Calgary might not be exactly an early adopter of this trend but it sure is making up for lost time now. All very reminiscent of the coffee (r)evolution here.
re: cancowboy
We walked past Winebar's open door today... They opened on Friday! A very nice manager-type saw us looking in and stopped to chat. They're open 4 pm-1 a.m. (2 a.m. on weekends) and on Thurs, Fri and Saturday for lunch.
He said "city stuff" delayed Winebar's opening for about two months and he hoped their website would be up next week.
They've got chalkboards up for cheese and charcuterie (like Salt in Vancouver) but also very tasty sounding munchies like grilled cheese and duck sandwich ($11) and pulled pork something (I think)... from the quick glance I got from the menu he let us peruse.
The decor is relaxed, greys, metals... Looks very promising! I might have to force myself to visit this week...
re: alau2
They have an ad in the new "City Palate".
Web address is http://www.winebarkensington.com/
re: cancowboy
Hey, that's the address of the Danube cafe, the place that made those wonderful crepes... does anyone know what happened to them?
re: AriaDream
Is it possible that there is a connection b/t Danube and the crepes place in the TD Square food court (Fresh Crepes)? I just ask because they are (or were) both run by Croatian folks.
AFAIK Danube is no more.
re: irishgirl
that's fantastic news!
re: a voce
I'm hoping it's a bakery! In my wildest dreams Manuel Latruwe opens a second store there...
re: irishgirl
That would be so nice.
re: irishgirl
Isn't it already a restaurant/bakery?
Maybe the new concept won't have the city's worst espresso...
re: John Manzo
A bigger restaurant/bakery?!
re: irishgirl
For those following the Heartland/Child at Heart space... Child at Heart closed it's doors for good on Saturday, Jan 31st (their Britannia location is still open for business). I tried to ask the Heartland staff what their timeline was but just got a lot of pouting faces and no answers.
re: vanderb
Really? I guess it was expected. Glad to hear Britannia is still open. I wonder if they mean to take over the space occupied by the 3rd retailer (antiques?) as well? I'm not too surprised at the reaction by Heartand staff...the place is closing after all.
re: maplesugar
The woman I spoke to in Child at Heart thought Heartland would be closing in June. Not that I have any idea what she based that on!
Fiasco in Kensington is open for business again.
The freezers are full of yummy ice cream plus they are featuring cupcakes from Buttercream.
New freezers I think - it is no longer smoking hot waiting for your fix!
They have also created a little patio area in front so you can do some people watching.
I was coming back from beers in Robbie Stewarts so I only had room for a vanilla cupcake. Butttercream makes a very good cupcake - moist and tasty and not over the top with icing. It is good to have an alternative to Crave in the neighborhood.
Other recent news is that Heartland has closed, as scheduled... sign in the window says Vendome Cafe will open soon. The Vendome Block is the name of the building Heartland was in, so the name doesn't tell us anything about it's future nor have any serious renovations really started behind the paper on the windows.
re: vanderb
I could be wrong but I thought I heard that the old Sunnyside Heartland location would become a bakery & they were expanding into the space formerly occupied by Child at Heart.
re: vanderb
Just a little intel from the Herald a couple of weeks ago:
"... when Heartland gives way to a new business later this year (the move wasn't Swartz's choice: the building's owner, Teatro's Dario Berloni, decided not to renew the lease in favour of opening his own venture, rumoured to be a bistro, in the 2nd Avenue N.W. location)."
re: cancowboy
Looks like a trade up.
re: cancowboy
Has anyone tried Vendome yet?
re: Bananna85
Yep- reposting my review from coffeegeek.com:
I stopped in this afternoon. They are pulling "Abiamo" angel's espresso- this is The Planet rebranded. I have never seen the make/model of espresso machine they have; it's something Italian (Venezia maybe?) but it's new and clean. Espresso's not bad; I got a shot and it was decent, but they have a lot to learn- PFs were on the drip tray but when I suggested they keep them warm in the groupheads they were happy to be taught, which is nice. My main beef was that they didn't grind to order and seeing as the place was empty when I came in (this was around 4pm, and they currently close at 5) one could surmise that the grounds had been sitting in there a long time. This is easily corrected though, and the shot I got was pretty good, nice looking and pulled into a proper demitasse.
Where I think this place will shine is its food- pastries come from Teatro and for example the tarts I saw in the case were gorgeous, and I mean Manuel Latruwe gorgeous. I got a pricey ($3) tea biscuit with raisin and it was excellent.
As I say they're only open until 5 for now but are open 7 days. I look forward to trying their panini but for now their coffee program looks merely competent... which places it at the top of the heap in Kensington.
re: Bananna85
The food is very good. I've been a couple of times - have had the lemon tart (not quite Ladybug level but nearly as good), apple caramel muffin and blueberry loaf - both lovely. On Sunday we had lunch there, I had the chicken pot pie, very tasty chicken and veggie 'filling' with a yummy pastry rectangle balanced on top. My husband had the veggie panini, which was nice but very strongly lemon-flavoured (it does say with lemon zest on the menu but he missed that). Planning on trying the duck confit panini next...
re: Bananna85
Vendome is a very pleasant surprise, especially for folks that were often underwhelmed by the prior tenant.
First, good coffee. I'll defer to Manzo's expertise on the particulars, but I can attest that both of their brewed coffees (medium and dark) are leaps and bounds better than the Heartland's. Cappuccino was nice, though not the best I've had in the city (though the best I've had in the neighborhood).
Food is also very good. I've had the cheese biscuit on a number of occasions and it has been consistently great; incredibly soft, perfectly balanced (crumbly yet moist?) dough, and great sharp cheese on top. Ham and cheese croissant is the best I've had since Bonjour Brioche in Toronto. And wonderful attention to detail...the sandwich is heated in a small convection oven then taken out, sprinkled with some Gruyere and finished with a bit more heat. The duck confit panini is nice, but might need something to take it to greatness. I took it for a late lunch takeaway and found myself experimenting with grainy mustard, ginger jelly and onion relish to give it a bit more kick. That said the duck and onion filling was quite tasty and the grilled bread was wonderfully crisp without being too oily.
Friendly staff too.
A great , though at first impression slightly more formal, addition to the neighborhood.
re: maplesugar
LOL- Vendome in this case is very appropriate as the retail block is the Vendome Block- it's very classy, but comfy.
re: John Manzo
Heh I forgot that was the name of the block. The architecture is what drew me there in the first place...reminded me of Montreal in a good way. Heartland's salads and their eclectic magazine selection kept me going back (albeit infrequently) since we lived in Sunnyside in 99-00.
I was driving down 14th St North and spotted a new(?) sushi spot - SW corner of 5th Ave and 14th St NW; a building or two south of the intersection. I think it is new - last thing I remember in that spot was breakfast\lunch place for the surrounding offices.
Sushi Kai
100-609 14 Street NW
(403) 453-0577
Might be related to the Sushi Kai in Chinatown?
See if I make the trek over there sometime this week.
re: cancowboy
I was walking to Kensington Winemarket and noticed a big sign in Janice Beaton Cheese...they are closing this location? A staff member told me that the rent is getting really high in Kensington and we are bound to see more closures or moves as leases come up for renewal. Rumoured to be a tea house of some sort subletting the space, but not confirmed. Also noticed that Red Tree has changed its hours to close Sundays, and a few other empty storefronts (mostly clothing stores if I remember correctly from past visits) makes me wonder if the sq ft rent is just too much for some of the businesses we are used to seeing there? (as an aside parking could be friendlier too....)
re: messier
Funny that the rents would be "high" during a recession...
Sounds like their pricing caught up with them.
re: seemac70
My thoughts precisely. Although rents would have been set when they moved in. I do think people are watching their money more closely at the moment.
re: sarah galvin
A big love in for "Janice" from the Advertainment specialists at the Sun...
It's called going out of business, actually.
"Farm" is so amazingly overpriced, it proves my point(s) about the Calgary food scene with finality and grace.
Choke on it.
re: seemac70
"We recognize some of our customers will miss the convenience of the Kensington location," said Ms. Beaton, "But the benefits of the new locale will soon have them looking forward to the short trip across the river to see us. We are part of a great destination neighbourhood where people are always happy to spend a few minutes or a few hours. And we can finally offer adequate parking to accommodate their stay – however long it is."
Wow, thanks Janice! What an opportunity. I'm looking forward to it already.
By the way, there's lots of parking in Kensington. More than on 17th, in fact. When in doubt, blame parking, not the Gruyere at a zillion a pound.
re: seemac70
But seemac, "With its back-lane charm and casual atmosphere, you'll find a little bit of Europe in the heart of the city" at the 17th Ave location!
re: seemac70
I ate there once and couldn't believe how small the portions were for the money. I'm sure that the coffee shop is carrying her.
re: seemac70
My goodness. Was that a real article? Sorry, I'm new to town, but it sounds like she PAID for that little bit of promotional gloss-over!
I do hate seeing empty storefronts, but I have to agree, I bought some pretty straightforward cheese there and paid way too much for it....
re: messier
Text is copied from the link above.
Welcome to the set my man...
You got it in Technicolor. Not paid, exactly, just a lot of ad revenue over the years would be my bet. Myke Thomas is the real whore at the Sun, but he's shilling for the real estate industry. Hey, it's just cheese for J.B. not houses!
Empty storefronts? Patience. Hopefully something real will fill them. Not just trinket shops.
re: seemac70
JB is not "going out of business." And choosing to focus on her corner (JBFC/Farm/Beano) is great, especially since I live near it. So we get JBFC and Kensington gets the new and very improved Fiasco Gelato. Everybody's happy.
I've only eaten at Farm once but I didn't find it a bit overpriced for what I got, it was absolutely fantastic, BUT I am happy to teetotal and it might have been different otherwise. I had three gorgeous things for $44. I didn't find this bad at all considering the overpriced nonsense I'd experienced recently in Seattle, one of the most disappointing trips of my life...
re: John Manzo
Well with all this talk of Farm, I will have to go visit. I've been to Salt, so I assume its of similar format. Who can't love a little cheese and meat?
As for Kensington, I won't say that gelato is a fair trade off for a one stop cheese/wine shopping experience, but since you live in the neighbourhood receiving benefit I will forgive your zeal Mr Manzo :)
Lets hope something nice replaces it...
re: messier
farm is good, but it's even more expensive than salt and not quite as good, adds up quick.
re: messier
Another tea house? That would make 3 tea shops and 6 coffee shops in the neighbourhood.
re: messier
I walked by today while foraging for lunch.
Renovations are underway - new posters in the window.
Elixir Fine Tea http://www.elixirfinetea.ca/
re: cancowboy
My cousin works at the Sushi Kai in Chinatown, so I know that yes, the two are related.
I stumbled across "Royal Kabab Express" last week when I was on my way to Shawarma King and decided to give the new place a try. There is dine in and take out options, and since I wasn't in a rush, I dined in. I had a "Sultani Kabab" meal at $18.50 which included basmati rice, grilled tomatoes and a Persian Salad consisting of tomato, cucumber, onion, mint and lime juice. The kababs were Kubideh (ground beef) and Barg (steak). Afterwards, I treated myself to a delicious little baklava.
Flavours were great and portions were sharable in size, but I still felt the price was a tad high considering what the meal actually consisted of.
The space is nice enough and clean, as you'd expect an "everything-new" restaurant to be.
I'll likely be back, but will probably stick to ordering a more reasonably priced pita wrap, even though the "super" size wraps get up to $13.50.
Overall a quality alternative to the other Middle Eastern options in the area... though I would say their pricing will be the biggest hurdle to attracting customers (during my time there, two groups came in and left again after looking at the prices... heading across the lot in the direction of Shawarma King).
Royal Kabab Express
#20B 14th Street NW (next to the liquor store where the frame shop was)
re: Chow_Down
We went there last week, and I thought the same thing about prices.
But my fiance got the Kubideh kebob ($10.99) meal which is probably the best value. It's TWO skewers of ground spiced beef with basmati rice. I got a lamb kebob ($14.99) meal which came with one skewer. (It wasn't listed on the menu but the owner said was available.)
We got takeout and as we were waiting the owner served us Persian tea. I think it came from the Samaavar I saw in the corner.
He said he owned the frame shop for 20 years and because of the economy decided to turn it into the restaurant.
As we were waiting, we saw some large kebobs with pita bread go out. They looked really good.
Our dinner was quite good once we got home. I found the lamb quite tender and full of flavour. I've only had the kubideh from Ali Baba (Afghan) off 17th Ave. but it tasted similar. Takeout dinner came with a bag of huge onion wedges and pita.
Royal Kabob also serves donairs, shawarma etc. but their kebobs definitely differentiate them from Shawarma King et al.
re: John Manzo
There is a take-away option, so I guess that's what makes it "express"...
I went to a CIFF flick at the Plaza last night (100% sold out!) and had dinner beforehand- decided to give Tenshi another try (first time was lunch which was okay but an issue with the cash register made it very frustrating what with the damn thing beeping constantly during my meal) despite reports I'd heard about slow service on yelp etc; it was 5:30 so I figured I'd be beating the dinner rush and had plenty of time. I had an order of gyoza (pork), two unagi nigiri, two hamachi nigiri, one yam/avocado roll, on spicy tuna roll w/ fried tempura bits. Everything was really good and some was exceptional. Gyoza were great, they were pan (not deep) fried and a perfect (non-searing-hot) temp. Nigiri were well-formed with decent sized unagi but the really pleasant surprise was the hamachi, which was sliced quite thick, not paper thin as one sometimes finds at less pricey sushi places. Fish was fresh and not too cold. The rice was very good, well-formed and not too abundant nor too scarce. Rolls were nice- yam/avocado was fine, but the spicy tuna was amazing; it wasn't drowning in spicy sauce (this one is non-mayo based btw) nor was it smothered in tempura bits but it was balanced and absolutely delicious. With just water to drink the bill was a very reasonable $24, and service (maybe because of my early arrival) was very fast; even taking the time to read this week's Savage Love after paying my bill, I was in and out in 40 minutes.
Afterwards with about 30 minutes to spare I had desert at the new and very much improved Fiaso Gelato. For those who don't know this, Fiasco has been taken over by a new owner who has retained some of Matt's original aspects (like the branding) but almost everything is new. The gelato is much better, with more flavours, more creativity; for example I had an anise gelato that was just incredible and not something I've ever seen before. Sorbetti are gorgeous too. They also have cupcakes from Buttercream and a raft of panini on offer (I think they have 6 on the menu). The plan is to stay open year-round now, not to close winters anymore. Please check it out if you haven't recently!
The film? Interesting.
re: John Manzo
Good stuff JM! Very reasonable price and I don't get why my friends go to AYCE sushi places when you pay more and stuff yourself like crazy with mediocre excuses for sushi and gyoza, etc. I'd rather go ala carte and get quality Japanese cuisine.
re: cancowboy
Too bad. Nothing seems to like that location.
re: cancowboy
Very unfortunate! I loved this place. Any idea if they've moved or shut completely?
I'll miss eating soup and watching the game there…
re: Kaffe Ton
Sorry no other intel.
It has been on and off the market for the last year(?) or so.
re: cancowboy
They have a sign - Classic Wok N Roll China Bistro.
re: cancowboy
It looks horrible. I grabbed a take-out menu and it's the same as every suburban strip-mall gwai lo craphole in town. They even have the category of "Vegetables and misc," just like every mired-in-the-70s "Chinese" place in Calgary.
Of course not every "western" Chinese is bad- the chicken and broccoli, with tons of fresh garlic and not a trace of MSG or cornstarch, at King's on 17th is fantastic. So is their ginger beef. But this place looks like it'll last about 3 months in a community that will want more than strip mall chinese-ish.
A new frozen yogurt place will be opening west of Higher Ground (where the yoga wear place was). Still being renovated but some frozen yogurt machines were being wheeled in yesterday.
Sign in the window "If you love me ... Spoon Me".
This appears to be the website: http://spoonme.com/
re: cancowboy
This looks DELICIOUS!!!
re: cancowboy
It's about frickin' time that the Korean frozen yogurt trend (Pinkberry, Blueberry, et al) came to Calgary!
re: John Manzo
Is Korean frozen yogurt like Mexican frozen yogurt? In Mexico, frozen yogurt is "plain" flavoured: not very sweet, a little bit sour.
re: Jetgirly
I don't know about Mex, but Pinkberry and its knockoffs are a Korean trend and yes it's quite sour.
re: cancowboy
Spoon Me is open (since Friday?). Just FYI
re: cancowboy
thanks cancowboy! Your updates are very much appreciated.
Chatted with a friend who extolled Gratitude. They seem to be doing great business and maybe they're hitting their stride. Happy to give them a chance, soon.
re: cancowboy
Had lunch in K'ton today- first a delicious but TINY panino from Fiasco- it was very tasty but for $7 a bad deal, which I hate to say about Fiasco as their gelato is a great deal. Fine sandwich but don't come hungry...
Anyway I had Spoon Me for desert and two thumbs up! They have three base flavours: plain, green tea (they were out) and acai. I had plain in a baby size which is not really baby at all and comes with 3 toppings for $5. This is a good deal compared to places like this I've been to in the states, which only come with one topping. I had kiwi, honeydew and peaches and it was great- it had that very cold and thin consistency that you will find at Pinkberry et al (no fat) but the consistency was fine and the flavour was great; I could have eaten more. It's not ridiculously sour (versus an "Italian" version I had in Portland this summer- it was unpleasant) but it's unquestionably still yogurt. Also- nice clean space, and it's open until 11p so you can pop in after a Plaza flick.
re: John Manzo
Peaches? Really! This time of year? Was the fruit fresh do you think or IQF? The price sounds fantastic though...I will pop over next week after my dentist appointment, lol.
re: messier
no idea, but it tasted great. One of the better executions of this sort of place, and I've been to many of them. Never been to an actual pinkberry though oddly enough.
Hey maybe we'll bet a Beard Papa now :)
re: John Manzo
Or its off-brand relative, Goatee Cousin.
re: aktivistin
re: John Manzo
re: John Manzo
Fourth visit to Spoon Me yesterday- ADORE this place! They have a new flavour- pomegranate. Fruits are beautiful too. Baby size with three fruits (I had blackberries, mango and kiwi) is a gorgeous healthy treat. And they're opening a second location...
re: cancowboy
Thanks for the posting cancowboy, we tried Spoon Me last night (orange yogurt was new), and delish. Paired with dark chocolate, it was a perfect finish to dinner. My husband had the Acai with fresh blackberries, etc. which he preferred over mine. Everyone was happy :)
Coming soon in the space formerly known as "Red Tree" ...
Exceptional Pizza (I may have the wrong name - I was on the way to Kensington Wine Market and my head can only hold so much info at once).
Sign says opening January 2010 - open until 3AM on the weekends.
Pizza, Subs and HALIFAX DONAIRS.
re: cancowboy
Uff da! I know that's Norwegian, but I don't know what else to say. Great news!
re: John Manzo
I hate to constantly demonstrate my ignorance but what is a Halifax donair? Is it a fish donair? I imagine a cod spinning delicately on the rotisserie being flaked off into a fresh pita with all the regular sauces and veggies. Set me straight or let me know I've thought of the next great culinary experience... fish tacos are a huge hit why not fish donairs.
re: vanderb
" A Halifax Donair is like the usual doner kebab, but uses a slightly sweet milk-based garlic sauce and tomatoes/onions. It should be very soaked and sloppy when served."
re: cancowboy
I have a friend who always makes a pit stop at a donair shop in Halifax before hitting the airport and flying back to Calgary, and then brings a cooler full of donairs for all of her friends and family from the Maritimes!
re: cancowboy
The correct name is "Evolution Pizza".
Hey ... I got the "E" right.
re: cancowboy
Has anyone tried Evolution Pizza yet?
re: cancowboy
Pizza Evolution is no more.
I went by today (on my way to KWM) and a rental arrears letter taped to the door.
re: cancowboy
Can't say I'm surprised...with Pepinos and so many other choices you'd better be spectacular. I went and it was just...ok.
re: cancowboy
My God, didn't it open just few weeks ago??
re: John Manzo
I think they opened in November? Its the same guy who bought the Mexican place that was in the same plaza but around the corner. He just moved it to the vacant space in the front and I guess he would have subleased his space at the side? It's too bad for him, but I guess the Halifax Donair was not a big hit!
re: messier
Long live Peppino's, all hail the Nico's special.
re: Places_I_go_things_I_eat
Hmm, now I want a meatball sub from Peppino's. Darn you!
re: messier
Being a big fan of Halifax donairs, I spoke to the owner of this place a couple of times.... he never actually could offer them since he could not get the permits for the donair roasting spit. Building code issue, it didn't have the proper ventilation, or something like that.
I thought the pizza was okay, but I was ready and waiting to buy the donairs. Never got the chance.
re: cancowboy
In a related closing, Tandoori Knights has a "For Lease" sign in front.
I was told TK left their sub-lease which Pizza Evolution was counting on.
re: cancowboy
On my way to Sushi Club for sushi and there is new signage and awning on the Pizza Evolution location.
It will be Maggie's Shortbread - another part of the (eventual) diaspora from CFM?
Gourmet cookies and treats.
re: cancowboy
Stopped in Maggie's today- happy to have a regular source for her addictive pecan clusters! She is not moving with CFM.
re: John Manzo
Those things are SO addictive!
Fiasco Gelato is closed for the month of January - I walked by today and the freezers were parked outside the front door - looks like they are doing a bit more renovation.
Winebar Kensington is rumoured to be expanding into the space above them (or adding a new venture to their empire).
TRFKARS The restaurant formerly known as Robbie Stewart can be all yours for $399K. At least that's their asking price.
re: cancowboy
"The restaurant formerly known as Robbie Stewart can be all yours for $399K. At least that's their asking price."
Stripped of the equipment?
re: sharonanne
Maybe probably yes - I don't really know - it is just the number that was bandied about by people who do know.
re: cancowboy
I understand. I won't hold you to it.
Just thinking that sounds like a good deal. With equipment it would be a very good deal.
re: sharonanne
I can't be 100% sure but based on the description I think I found the listing: http://www.restaurants4sale.ca/Proper...
re: sharonanne
Just a guess.
Some of the front-of-house equipment would have been taken/seized by the vendors who were owed money.
Back of house is probably still intact - the kitchen should be relatively new (ie from a previous incarnation on the corner).
re: cancowboy
The ad says turn-key so the equipment should be there but that rent is a killer and I'm skeptical about the sales they report.
re: sharonanne
I drove past there today and they had a new sign up...it is on the side facing Memorial but I couldn't see the name...any Kensington folks have word, or was I hallucinating?
re: messier
There's a sign up called "Bottlehouse Beer Parlour." I think someone just started a new thread on it.
Here is something random that may or may not happen. You know the building where the Wind store resides? I hear there might be a breakfast place opening in the empty bay. I think it depends on some things. Won't know for sure 'till later.
re: cancowboy
Song Han is open for business - they are running a grand opening 10% off for the month of August. Patio was mostly full for dinner - inside looked about half full.
Take-out menu has the usual Vietnamese offerings with some Cantonese(?) additions.
Pricing seems to be around the average for Kensington.
re: cancowboy
New signage in the window says "Wake Bistro".
re: cancowboy
the summers hurtin w/o fiasco.... :( I don't like amato...
re: cancowboy
The paper is off the windows so they are pretty close to opening.
Shiny new display cases visible from the street.
They were hoping to open a week ago but ...
re: cancowboy
This might have been mentioned but.. During sun 'n' salsa I noticed the former mexican pizza guy a couple doors down from the Kensington wine market is gone and it looks like Shwarma Knights are moving in. Unless I'm way behind and they just moved out.
re: The Gut
The latter - they came and went while you weren't looking.
re: cancowboy
Very good! I hope it's like Chicco in Vancouver- Asian deserts; crepes, gelato and these funky parfaits with gelato, sponge cake, red bean- amazing food.
re: cancowboy
When you said "Asian crepes" I thought dessert crepes- but the sign that I saw today (finally - it's been months since I ambled around K'ton, or seems that way) says banh xeo- those are the eggy omelet-type "crepes" you get at Viet places stuffed with pork and shrimp. I assume they'll be having a variety of them. I've never seen a Viet resto devoted entirely to banh xeo and am really looking forward to trying this place.
re: John Manzo
Note of trivia: Banh Xeo usually don't use eggs at all. It's cocunut milk, yellow beans, and flour. The yellow colour comes from turmeric.
Nevertheless, super interested in seeing what this turns out like.
re: marcopolo
Ah! Good to know! My partner avoids them because he has problems with eggs. I will let him know.
re: cancowboy
This place is now open.
Some pictures in the Wikipedia article
Was on my way to sushi so didn't have a chance togo in but it looks interesting so I will att try to swing by next week.

Name correction s/b Kol3 Restaurant
@John Manzo
I was going by Shawarma Station on 10th last Saturday and noticed Sam was NOT behind the counter - a petite oriental(?) woman instead. And today there was a man (also not Sam) serving the customers. No time today to snoop further.
?? Maybe it has changed hands ??
If it has, I will miss Sam and his wife - they were always happy to see me and remembered my "usual" order.
Shawarma Station
227 10 St NW #106, Calgary, AB T2N 1V5, CA
re: cancowboy
"my friend, my friend." I'd miss him too.
re: John Manzo
I jumped the gun - Sam is still the owner.
People have been hired to operate the restaurant day-to-day which frees Sam to work on other things in his empire.
There's a permit in the window of a former spa on 10th Street NW stating it will be "Crepe Cafe" or something like that. It's the shop next to the bead store and bong store.

Dear Duke parents and families,
Periodically, I like to acknowledge various parts of our diverse community. Today, in advance of some key upcoming commemorations, I want to share some thoughts about our LGBTQ community.
I'm proud to acknowledge an environment where all students, gay and straight, are equal members of our broader Duke family and where we celebrate differences and support persistent struggles which, unfortunately, yet exist. I invite you to check out the website for the Center for Sexual and Gender Diversity for an array of current facts that showcase our achievements and pride.
Unfortunately, Duke's history has not always celebrated the presence of LGBTQ students and President Brodhead noted so in his remarks at the opening of our new Center for Sexual and Gender Diversity, when he said:

Most lactation experts suggest you wait until your baby is at least a month old and breastfeeding is well established before introducing a bottle. If you're returning to work, start bottle-feeding at least two weeks before your start date so you can work out any glitches ahead of time. (You can get more information on such topics as sterilizing bottles and how often to bottle-feed in Bottle-feeding basics.)
Because sucking milk from a bottle requires different mouth and tongue movements than breastfeeding, it may take your baby a little time to get used to the change. Try these tips for a smooth transition:
Tory Winnick introduced her son Philip to the bottle when he was 3 weeks old.
"I pumped and put my breast milk in a bottle so my husband Mike could experience feeding the baby," she remembers. "We had to try a few different nipples until we found one that most closely simulated the breast. It really made Mike feel great that he could feed the baby too."
Bottle-feeding can be just as nurturing as breastfeeding if you cuddle the baby close. Some babies like to be held in a nursing position while drinking from a bottle; others find it disconcerting. Ask the person feeding your baby to experiment while maintaining eye contact with her, and give her a chance to get used to this new experience.
Some babies don't eat very much when their mom isn't home, and if they are away from her all day may begin waking more frequently at night. Don't be surprised if this happens; use these quiet and intimate times to reconnect with your baby.

Time Management Skills - Pros And Cons For Drawing Strong Boundaries Between Work And Home
Free registration required
Executive Summary
Time management requires making tough decisions every day. You alone must decide what balance to strike between work and home. You maintain this balance with a boundary. It may be strong or it may be flexible. The most successful boundaries are those that match your values and that you communicate clearly. What happens if you create a strong boundary between work and home? It all depends upon factors like your temperament, your communication skills, and the strength of your support system.

Customer Reviews
Good to have
Posted by Reviewer1442942 on Sep 13, 2011

It is very assuring to have this form of Vitamin C. I take 1 sachet daily just to make sure. As it does not dissolve in any liquid, I just squeeze it on a tblspoon and drink it down with water.
Pity about the soy lecithin?
Posted by Reviewer2534376 on Aug 13, 2014
Purchased at iHerb
This product is a lot more effective than other forms of Vitamin C: You can increase absorption of plain ascorbic acid to ~70% by reacting it with bicarb and drinking it in solution. The LiveOn version has a much higher absorption (~99 %) than other lipospheric formulations which often have quite low absorption (~40 %?). This VitC formulation has has a gentle effect and a very good bowel tolerance. This lypospheric VitC formulation currently holds the record for generating the highest VitC concentrations in the blood (~double) using an oral method. Given that it is 8-16x better absorbed than most oral forms it is like taking 8-16x more VitC. Yes the price is higher... but you can take less. It is worth paying more for the greater efficiency. The phospholipids also come up as highly desirable. This product strengthens nails and hair... due to the phospholipids? That's a welcome and unexpected side effect. The only thing of concern is the lecithin which is of soy origin (worried about estrogenic effects):. Egg lecithin would have been nice? Egg lecithin is much healthier than soy lecithin. Alternatively milk lecithin or even sunflower lecithin might be reasonable alternatives? LiveOn say that they couldn't achieve the same results with Sunflower lecithin. The final effect is a product that does not taste natural. Hopefully someone will create an even better lipospheric product some time in the future? :-)
Not sure

Taiwan-based AU Optronics and South Korea's LG Display will supply liquid crystal display (LCD) panels for Apple's new small-sized iPad, according to technology website DigiTimes.com.
AU Optronics will supply about 400,000 to 500,000 LCD panels while LG Display will supply around 600,000 panels.
Apple is preparing for the mass production of a smaller iPad, dubbed "Mini" by this year to compete with rivals including Samsung Electronics and Amazon.com.
In a separate development, the US Department of Justice (DOJ) asked a federal court to impose a $1bn fine on AU Optronics for the company's participation in a scheme to fix prices on LCD panels.
The DOJ said AU sold over $2.3bn worth of LCD panels during the price-fixing conspiracy in march 2012 and also asked the court to sentence company executives H.B. Chen and Hui Hsiung to 10 years in prison and fine $1m.
Prosecutors alleged that from 2001 to 2006, AU Optronics participated in a world-wide LCD price-fixing conspiracy, by which time the market for LCD panels was $70bn.
AU Optronics said it should face a fine of no more than $285m.
In July 2012, AU Optronics, LG Display and Toshiba have agreed to pay a combined $543.5m to settle a price fixing law suit in the US.
The case was filed in 2007 when Toshiba was sued by direct purchasers of LCD panels for involving in a conspiracy to fix the price of liquid crystal displays sold in the US.

After visiting friends up north, Helen and I stopped off in Cambridge on the way home.
I loaded the battered, bargain Nikon FM with a roll of Agfa APX100 and hit the tourist trail.
The 35mm Nikkor-S 2.8 is the only Nikon lens I have now, which is just as well, as it has permanently attached itself to the FM, which is odd.
We had a lovely afternoon and I enjoyed exploring somewhere new with a great camera.

'Boxted: Charities for the poor', A History of the County of Essex: Volume 10: Lexden Hundred (Part) including Dedham, Earls Colne and Wivenhoe (2001), pp. 68. URL: http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=15160 Date accessed: 22 November 2014.
(Min 3 characters)
The parish
shared in Love's Charity from which £2 was
received in 1786. (fn. 77) In 1994 the charity was still
registered with the Charity Commissioners but
no returns had been received. (fn. 78)
By 1786 the rent of £1 a year from Camping
close was being used for the poor. (fn. 79) In 1836 the
£2 10s. rent from the field was applied to the
poor rate; by 1877 the rent was used to support
the National school. (fn. 80) The rents from three
allotments of land on Boxted heath, totalling 4 a.
in Betty Potter's field and 1 a. in Gravel Pit field,
granted to the churchwardens and surveyors in
1815, were by 1881 used to support the National
school. A Charity Commission Scheme of 1896
allowed the income from Camping close and
2½ a. in Betty Potter's field and 1 a. in Gravel
Pit field to be used for recreational purposes
under the trusteeship of the parish council.
Gravel Pit field was sold in 1917 and Betty
Potter's field in 1919 and the proceeds were
invested. (fn. 81) In 1947 dividends of c. £4 a year were
used to support the poor. (fn. 82) In 1961, Camping
close was sold to the Essex Education Committee for £200 which sum was also invested. (fn. 83)
Robert Gilder, by deed of 1633, gave two
cottages on Chapel Lane, an adjacent 2-a. field,
and ½ a. of wood for the use of poor widows.
By will dated 1663, he vested three cottages and
the same land in the churchwardens and overseers of the parish. In 1684 there were two
houses for two widows. (fn. 84) In 1837 the cottages
were occupied by poor people, and the rent of
the land, called Widows' field, was applied to
the poor rate. (fn. 85) The cottages had apparently
been demolished by 1887. The rent of the field
in 1894 was £5, from which 11 widows each
received 5s. The ½ a. of woodland had been lost
by 1913. In 1956 the remaining land was sold
for £160 which was invested for the charity. (fn. 86)
Before 1730 there were two apparently unen-
dowed almshouses by the churchyard, perhaps
the house hired for the poor in 1770. (fn. 87) In 1838
the almshouses were held by the parish officers
and between 1845 and 1937 they generally
housed two poor people, although six occupied
them in 1855 and 1866. In 1906 they were in
poor condition, but residents paid 1s. a week
towards their upkeep after repairs in 1912.
There was only one occupant in 1952 and the

IRS Tax Liens - Stop IRS Collections Now!
The IRS or other state taxing authority can make your life miserable by filing a federal tax lien against you.
If you've been threatened with an IRS tax lien, levy, seizure or the denial or termination of an installment agreement, let us represent you and put end to your IRS problems! We can help you file an IRS Collection Appeal to stop an IRS levy or seizure.
Stop IRS tax liens, levies or seizures. Get help from us to relief your IRS levy today!
While the IRS is more determined than ever to enforce collection activity for back taxes owed, you can get professional tax help appealing intrusive IRS collection tactics like liens or levies and permanently settle your tax debt. However, it's important that you act quickly once you receive your collection notice to avoid harsh IRS levies and tax liens.
However, if there's a levy already filed on your bank accounts or your assets, we can help you file an IRS collection appeal to remove your tax lien.
• Federal Tax Liens are public records that indicate you owe the IRS various taxes and you need tax relief.
• They are filed with the County Clerk in the county from which you or your business operates.
• Because they are public records they show up on your credit report.
• This often makes it difficult or impossible for a taxpayer to obtain financing on an automobile or a home.
• Federal Tax Liens also can tie up your personal property and real estate.
• Once a Federal Tax Lien is filed against your property you cannot sell or transfer the property without a clear title.
• Liens can only be Released, Discharged, Subordinated or Removed.
• A Release of lien occurs after the underlying tax liability has been satisfied in full, via a monthly payment plan or by paying it outright in a lump sum, or via an accepted and paid Offer in Compromise. Most Liens are generally self-releasing after 10 years, if they are not re-filed by the IRS for another 10 years.
• A Certificate of Discharge of a lien is generally used when selling real property and the IRS normally is paid in full with the sale proceeds.
• A Certificate of Lien Subordination is generally used in re-financing real property, allowing the re-financing of the property transaction to occur under certain situations.
• The IRS will only consider the removal of a lien in rare cases where they admit they made an error by filing the Notice of Federal Tax Lien in the first place.
• Often taxpayers find themselves in a Catch-22 under IRS liens where they have property that they would like to borrow against, but because of the Federal Tax Lien, they cannot get a loan.
• Tax Resolution Services experts and tax attorneys specialize in assisting clients in having their federal tax lien issues resolved once and for all.

I is for Iron, R is for Revisions-Nary the two shall meet?
- by Kim Watters
I hate to iron. Let me count the ways. Pants, shirts, dresses, skirts, underwear…. Underwear? Yes, I've heard people iron their underwear. Don't worry, I'm not one of them. I know, TMI, but how many writers do you know that haven't exposed a piece of themselves for the betterment of a story? So this morning, with a lack of any pressed work clothes, I had to drag out the monster iron that always seems to do more damage than making clothes any more presentable, if I wanted to wear something that didn't look like I slept in it all night. The boss has a problem with that. No kidding?
Did I mention I hate to iron? I must have been a laundress in a former life. So once I cleared off the hideous ironing board that contained every wrinkled pair of work pants and tops I own—I'm still waiting for someone to create fashionable clothing that never wrinkles no matter how long it's left in the dryer—I got down the dirty task of ironing.
I really, really, really hate to iron. Can I possibly say that enough?
Okay, the first pair of pants is on the board. I get the squirt bottle out because I've discovered it's easier to get the deep wrinkles out while the pants are wet. Too bad this tactic doesn't work on the face. I'm grouchily pressing away on the first leg. Top side done. Yes. Flip over. Drat. Several deep creases down the back. Grab water bottle. Wet clothes. Press the living daylights out of back side of leg. Flip over. ACK! More creases on front side. There is now more steam coming out of my ears than the pants. I really hate to iron.
Which brings me to revisions. Very few writers I know can spout out a virtually clean, coherent manuscript the first time around. So what does that mean? Revisions. Revisions remind me of ironing—although I actually like to revise. You smooth out a wrinkle here, and create another wrinkle somewhere else. You change something in one scene; you need to make sure you've made the corresponding changes in the rest of the manuscript. No one said it would be easy. Eventually though, you will have creaseless pants and a well polished manuscript.
I tend to agonize over certain things, and it takes me a lot longer to make sure the final product is ready to go out the door. So in the time it would take a normal person to go through the entire pile, I've successfully pressed one pair of pants—if you don't look too closely—and a shirt. Now is not the time to discuss the fact that I spilled coffee on my brand spanking new ironed pants today that will now have to meet Mr. Washer and Mr. Iron instead of Mrs. Hanger before they grace my feminine curves again. I really hate to iron, but throw all the revisions you want my way. Because in the end, when I sell that manuscript, I'll be able to pay someone to iron for me!

Good post, I like your writing style! I've added http://ninc.com/blog/ to my feed reader, and will be reading your posts from now on. Just a quick question – did you design your header image yourself, or have it done professionally? If you had it done by a professional, who was it?

I can write an entire book in two days, my four readers take a month, my two editors go over the manuscript four times each, the publisher takes four to six weeks on the cover, the format-er another several weeks before I look at it and three submissions later, it goes to the next step. Now, my iron is cool and nothing will get those wrinkles out. I have been turning out these books since 1979 and they are getting worse as I go and I think that might be an improvement. If you ant to see how bad they are, google Secrets of Paradise and A Beckoning From Paradise and if they have the same author, that's me. Well, thanks for letting me tell my woes, I will fold my ironing board and go back to writing.

Thanks Pati. Thanks Dr. Paradise. Wow. It takes me two days to get through the pile of laundry, much less a whole book. Have a great Thanksgiving all.

"Prosperity is like a rosebud. As it expresses its true nature, its fragrance attracts all. Prosperity is always present within."
-Aquarian Times, Autumn 2001
"It doesn't matter what you have or what you don't have; it matters only how easily you can let go."
-Aquarian Times, Autumn 2001
"The Three Laws of Prosperity:
Be kind to everyone.
Speak not ill of others.
Speak not ill of yourself."
-Aquarian Times, Autumn 2001
"Prosperity doesn't mean that you will have wealth, health and happiness. The best way to explain prosperity is to say it is like a rosebud when it flowers and opens up, and shares its fragrance. That's the moment, which lasts a few days, when a rose flower is prosperous. When a man or woman is prosperous, it is the fragrance of security, grace, depth, character and truthfulness that a person can share. Like a candle emits light, a human emits prosperity."
–Success and the Spirit: An Aquarian Path to Abundance
"Your wealth will increase, your values will increase, your projection will increase, if you simply love to live, just love yourself and live yourself. See how many people come to you." 12/17/99
"Success, happiness, and constant prosperity are the result of mastering the mind."
-The Mind
"Everything is thought—God is thought, Earth is thought, names are thought, everything is just thought. But demonstratively entertain no thought, 'I am not, all is zero.' Give yourself a thoughtless grace and it will be a very good bargain when the subconscious doesn't act and the unconscious gives you intuition. Automatically your job will be done. That's the end of poverty and the beginning of prosperity." 11/11/94
"If you feel just one thing in your life—that life is nothing but the gift of God—you are divine and the most courageous person. Try it! Try it as a thought. The moment you feel that life is a gift, you'll become prosperous." 7/5/84
"Wealth means character, characteristics, straightforwardness, honesty, courage—these are all values. This is all called wealth. We gather together money with the idea that what we cannot get otherwise, we will buy. But you cannot buy courage; you cannot buy character." 12/29/02
"I know you need prosperity, you need peace, and you need happiness. They shall come to you if you are willing to invest in life, if you are willing to invest in your children, if you are willing to invest in your relationships. You have to invest, because if you don't, life will go sour. My prayer is that you must be aware that it is you and you alone who can invest in your own tomorrow so that you can be healthy, happy, and holy." 7/14/02

Public Health News Roundup: October 17
CDC: U.S. Cholesterol Levels Improved Since the 1980s
The total cholesterol and "bad" LDL cholesterol levels of an average U.S. adult have been steadily improving over the past two decades, according to a new study in the Journal of the American Medical Association. High cholesterol is often a precursor to heart disease. Probable explanations for the overall improvement in public health include improvements in diet since the late 1980s, according to Reuters. "It's important and significant, the reduction that we see here, but it's not unbelievable," said Goodarz Danaei, MD, from the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, who was not a part of the study carried out by researchers at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "I don't think we needed a huge change in diet... to produce this change." Read more on heart health.
Older Heart Attack Survivors Often Fail to Take Prescription Meds
Older heart attack survivors often do not follow through with their prescription medications meant to decrease the likelihood of another attack, according to a new study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society. Researchers at the University of Maryland analyzed the long-term use of medications most often given to people post-heart attacks: statins, ACE inhibitors/angiotensin receptor blockers, beta-blockers and the blood thinner clopidogrel. Ilene Zuckerman, professor and chair of the department of pharmaceutical health services research at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy, said proper use of the drugs can result in a "long-term beneficial effect" on patient health. Read more on older adults.
Study: Alcohol a Bigger Cause of Early Death than Smoking
Alcohol abuse decreases life spans even more than smoking, according to a new study in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research. Researchers followed the health of approximately 4,000 people over a 14-year period. Alcohol-dependent women were nearly 5 times as likely as those who were not to die prematurely; the rates was almost double for men. "This paper confirms the well-known association between alcoholism and premature death," said James Garbutt, MD, professor of psychiatry at the University of North Carolina. "It also supports the evidence that women are more likely to have more severe health problems from alcohol than men—'sicker quicker.'" Garbutt was not a part of the study. Read more on alcohol.

X2 triplex multicopter prototype suffers gearbox snag
Chopper globocorp Sikorsky has suffered technical hitches in development of its potentially revolutionary (cough) X2 multicopter, which is intended to administer a stinging technical bitchslap to the famous V-22 "Osprey" tiltrotor from rival firm Boeing. The X2 demonstrator airborne for the first time above New York State Let's …
Not as cool as the osprey though.
This sounds like a clever answer to the problem, and I'm sure it will perform well -- but I'm still dying to see an Osprey take off outside of a game of Half-Life. There's just something pleasing about a tilt-rotor.
Russians there first?
Don't some Russian choppers already have twin rotors in the same configuration as this?
Could not resist the black helicopter icon....
The Kamov design bureau has been building twin contra-rotating rotor helicopters for many years. They're ideal for naval ops, because they can be shorter than a normal helicopter, and there's less chance of the tail rotor fouling on ship structure. The Ka-25 and -27 are still in use, and they've even popped up as general utility helicopters in Africa (along with the ubiquitous conventional Mi-8).
The pinnacle of design, though, is the Ka-50/52, referred to as the Werewolf or Crocodile (NATO name is Hokum). It's a wicked-looking design, and is somewhat designed as a jetfighter-style helicopter, with a single pilot (instead of pilot/gunner). It's seen successful use in Chechnya, and if funding permits might see wider use with Russia and purchasers of Russian arms.
Comparing the X2 to the V-22???
LIke comparing a Model T to a Corvette, isn't it? .
The V-22 has been in development for nearly 30 years. It has a top speed of over 300 mph (not the 250 that you mention in the article) and can carry (Take off and fly in airplane mode) with a payload of nearly 30,000 lbs.
Most navy aircraft applications (that which the V22 was developed for) require two engines, a requirement that the Navy set in place.
Fantastic that the X2 can fly on one engine. So can the V22, should one engine go out...nice to have when you're over water, or anyplace else with projectiles aiming for you. This is why a majority of naval transport aircraft through out recent history have had two engines.
The X2 is a fantastic aircraft. It's getting a late start in overcoming some of the fwd speed issues that the V22 tackles, but the X2 does it differently, and will most certainly find a niche to fill. I can see the Army grabbing a hold of this one in lieu of the V22's little brother, the Bell 609.
But it has a LONG way to go before it can go head to head with the V-22 or a 609 for that matter.
I'm sure the gearbox issue will get fixed in a hurry. Not much detail in what kind of problem it is. Noting that it has flown successfully already, I have to believe that it is not a serious issue.
But you quote 300mph vs 250knots
250knots is about 287mph.
Osprey still faster though.
Although if the X2 gets the same 30 years of development as the V22, who knows what might result.
stinging technical bitchslap
trademark this term ASAP.
Fact check: airspeed
I hope you realize that the V-22's max level flight airspeed is 270 knots, so the purported 250 knot Vh of the X-2 is not "noticeably better" than the Osprey. (Also note that the "design speed" and Vh are different quantities entirely.)
My reference on this is Wikipedia, but this info is readily available from multiple sources on the internet.
I lke the V22 it look cool, like a VTOL SHOULD look, the X2 on the other hand is.....wierd.
Which is prob why it wil end up being the better craft.
the V22 was drawn as a fully formed idea or "look" then modified, rengineered, re- adjusted until they got it to work. (its amazingly like the original prototypes the XV series from cerca 1955)
the X2 on the other hand started with the problems, applied physics, fixed the problems THEN designed the craft.
I have to admit I love the idea of VTOLs, and having more than one "proper" VTOL will hopeully increase interest and investment.
oh yeah check out the cartercopter. looks a lot cooler then the V22
Maybe the should ask Kamov for some help?
If I remember right, nearly ALL their helicopters are stacked rotor, like this:
There are two massive advantages to the Osprey that no pure chopper can ever compete with in level flight.
Having a chunk shot off a wing is an inconvenience. It doesn't matter how many engines you've got working if you lose a piece of rotor.
When it all goes completely pear-shaped, having a gliding angle better than that of a rucksack full of rocks is a big plus. Ok, you can autorotate a chopper to a soft landing, if you know what you're doing, but if you didn't want to land on what was directly beneath at the time you're a bit stuffed.
Whiz bang?
Good job the X2 rotors are super rigid, the forward going rotor bending upward the trailing rotor staying strait. What happens when you hit turbulence - bang, goodnight? Not only that I really do not fancy relying on a single engine and that complex gearbox. On the other hand the V22 has taken 30 years to get into service, no one said it was easy.
Not so impressive performance...
...expects to hit 250 knots "by the end of the year" - As '0 to 100' performances go, this one, at 10938240 seconds is pretty dismal!

ROCKINGHAM COUNTY, Va. -- Some lawmakers want to require everyone to have a photo ID in order to vote. Supporters of the requirement say it's common sense and would prevent voter fraud. While those against it said it would limit some people from voting.
This past election, all a Virginia voter needed was a voter ID form with his or her name on it in order to vote.
Rockingham County Registrar Doug Geib said it was successful, but he said voter fraud isn't really an issue in rural areas, like Rockingham County.
"People know each other, so for somebody to try to impersonate another person is taking a pretty big risk because a lot of our election officers work there year after year and they know who lives there," said Geib.
Geib said voter fraud could be an issue in more urban areas and that was why Del. Dickie Bell supports the new bill. He said requiring a photo ID would make a cleaner, more secure voting process.
"Virtually everything that you have to identify yourself these days requires a photo ID," said Geib, "I don't know why it's unreasonable, or why some folks think it's unreasonable to request that in order to vote."
People, like Fernando Perez, think it's unreasonable. He has his own photo IDs, but he said, for some people it may be harder to get one and that it shouldn't prevent them from voting.
"It's a right that we're given," said Perez, "It's the only way this system can function. I think that we're limiting that from people. It's wrong."
Geib said he sees both sides of the debate and hopes lawmakers can reach a compromise.
"There has to be a balance between guarding against voter fraud, but not putting too much of a burden on people to vote," said Geib.

Possible defects with #4 and #5 DMM Dragons - 02/16/11 05:00 AM
Looks like this made the rounds, but passing it along just in case... Looks like there may be a problem with #4 and #5 DMM Dragons WRT cracks in the head assembly similar to the earlier recall on the #6 Dragons. The issue was discovered by the folks at MGear, who are working with DMM and their NA distributor to root out the source of the problem.

Why Pat Rooney chose Roatan
We bought this land for its perfect location between west bay and west end, tucked in the lush jungle, up the hill from the sand for the perfect view, fresh breezes and private setting without being in the middle of nowhere. We enjoy the restaurants, shops and nightlife...but really enjoy coming back to our quiet secluded home.

Beautiful beaches, fantastic coral reef, great local people with a mix of cultures and not over built with concrete and high rises. This is the perfect 'anti-Cancun' where you can truly feel you are in a different world (not just a better climate with same fast food) and only 2 1/2 hrs from the States...what's not to like?!!

All I can say is Fantastic! Surrounded by the island vegetation and only a short walk along the beach to the best Roatan has to offer. The outside shower was a highlight of the home as were the wonderful assistance from the house caretakers. The zip line adventure, also within walking distance, is great afternoon fun. Great dinning at home was a breeze in the well equipped kitchen. Every room in the house was clean and comfortable and made our visit to Roatan the best vacation we have had!

Like his father, Mark Blazek says sales have always been in his blood.
The 56-year-old Realtor followed his dad's career path into the food broker business after college and, when the family-owned frozen food business he was selling for closed in 1998, he began selling houses as a Realtor the next year.
"The nut doesn't fall too far from the tree," Blazek said of his career decision to become a sales representative and later a residential real estate agent. "I love meeting people and sales allows you the chance to talk and help other people."
In real estate, Blazek said customers are usually more appreciative of his work than when he was hawking Rich Products foods to Southern grocers through the 1980s and 1990s.
"People thank me for helping them realize the American dream as a Realtor, instead of beating my price down and asking, "what have you done for me lately," Blazek quipped.
But real estate agents have to make it on their own and as the new head of the Greater Chattanooga Association of Realtors Blazek is eager to help those trying to sell homes coming out of the worst housing slump in decades.
"There are no expensive accounts or company cars selling real estate," he said. "It's you and the customers and if you don't sell you don't eat."
For the association he heads this year, Blazek hopes to rebuild some of the membership lost during the Great Recession. In an interview at the association's Amnicola Highway offices, Blazek said he expects the number of Chattanooga area Realtors to again top 1,400 this year. Although down nearly a third from the peak of 2,099 members reached in 2007 at the Chattanooga Realtors group, Blazek said he thinks the decline in membership in the past five years has ended.
The Realtors group is working to enhance the value of membership with a new, more consumer-friendly web site to be introduced in April. Also this year, the Realtors began providing free training programs for its members.
The multiple listing service will be enhanced this year to include an appraisers' data base listing the latest appraisals and price data for each property, rather than just the tax records which sometimes are outdated or inaccurate.
Realtors in Chattanooga also are getting free education credit hours this year for the first time.
"We want to bring more value to our members with free, continuing education here at the association," he said. "For us to be relevant, we've got to provide value. Information is just a click away and you either get on that train or you're left behind."
After nearly a decade a steadily rising sales in the real estate industry, Blazek and other Realtors suddenly were hit with the slump in home sales in 2008.
Chattanooga was not battered as much as many markets, such as Atlanta to the south.
"If we were a medical patient, people would think we were dead because we've tended to flat line," Blazek said.
"It will probably never be like it was when Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were giving money away," Blazek added. "Mortgage lenders are stricter and underwriters have their magnifying lenses out looking at one's credit history."
After Chattanooga home sales jumped 17 percent last year, Blazek expects another year of double-digit sales gains this year.
"Everything points to another good year," he said.
