Yankees Capture #27 for #27
Twenty-seven times the Yankees have won a World Series. It was Joe Girardi who chose to carry the burden of that number on his back for his first two seasons as the skip. Now, he won't have a burden to carry, but a decision to change numbers awaiting. The Yankees beat the Phillies 7-3 last night, ...

When one gives from the heart it brings genuine happiness! Knowing you are making a difference for the less fortunate, surely makes any giver or donator that much more happier. Giving and donations, in the right hands, are always appreciated greatly. Tremendous good can be accomplished with the help of kind people.
Sadly, we must be careful to whom we give or we could be taken instead. It has become a sad reality that we must consider carefully, before giving or donating to help others, because of the many, clever "tug-at-your-heart" stories we are exposed to by scam artists.
Solicitation can come from email, regular mail or telephone. Before making out that check, check out the organization!
The US Federal Trade Commission requires most States to have the charity registered or licensed. This is a protection for the charitable giver. This information and how legit they are can be obtained through the attorney general's office in your own state.
In order for one to be sure how much really goes to those who need it, ask pointed questions. Honest and above-board charities will welcome the opportunity to share
information as to how much actually aids the one in need verses administration costs, if any.
Every charity you give to, should not hesitate to tell you how much of your donation actually is going to directly help people and how much is going for administration.
A word about fund-raisers. Some charities hire professionals to solicit donations for them. These are paid by getting a percentage of the total collections. You have a right to know this information and how much actually goes directly to the cause and how much is going to be paid for wages.
Large, well-known charities, like St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital commits .85 cents for every dollar donated to helping these unfortunate children. They turn no child in need away regardless of ability to pay.
On the other hand, I received a phone call asking for donations toward our "State Police and Firefighters Fund"... for those hurt in the line of duty. Upon questioning, I soon realized it was a scam. When I asked for a phone number so that I could call back, after checking the legitimacy out with our town police, they quickly and quietly hung up!
A good way to ensure your hard-earned dollars are going to bring the most benefit in making a donation or giving, is to consider places like food pantries, homeless shelters, local needs in your own area. You will have the satisfaction of knowing you are making a difference!
My husband and I donate to a local homeless shelter. They have a website with a "wish list" of needed items, from food items to toiletries to bedding. We shop for these and drop off a few big bags of items a few times a year and we feel good knowing that we are actually helping people.
Giving to our local homeless shelter enures us the donations of gifts will really go to to those who need it. 100% of the items goes directly to the needy.
We found out that shelters now are housing more women and children, families put out of their homes by unforeseen financial hardships. That the majority of these people were looking for a "hand up", not a "hand-out"!
The FTC recommends checking out the charitable organization, if in question, by contacting the following:
Also, if you are donating money to charities, most will give you a reciept so you can get a tax credit on your annual income tax returns.
If in doubt of the honesty of a charity, go to the following organizations. They also have creative ideas and are up on where money needs are the greatest and will do the most good.
BBB Wise Giving Alliance - www.give.org
American Institute of Philanthropy - charitywatch.org
Be an informed, educated giver. You will be happier for it and so will be the receiver!

FINALISTS For The September 2009 Event
CONGRATULATIONS to our first group of Finalists!
Thanks! I looked quickly - did anyone else make it so far?
Yeah, Paula Smith is in with CARUSO AND THE SWORD.
And congratulations, Irin! It's great to know moviebyters are in there fighting for the big prize.
Way to spin it into the finals, Irin. Good luck!
Contgrats. Irin.
Go, Irin!!!
Congratulations Irin.
Thanks all.
Irin, that's great. Congrats!
Your work is really getting noticed this year, Irin! Soon we'll all be saying we knew you when... ;-)
Dude, you rock!
Congrats, man! Burning up the contests this season! WTG!!
By the Way, Irin. I like your title of your Christmas script Miss Christmas. Clever, double meaning.
Thanks Tom, but I can't take credit - my collaborator (John Barlowe) came to me with the story idea and the title. I hate that John Barlowe! (But seriously, I'm very excited about "MIss Christmas").
Tell us more about MISS CHRISTMAS.
Irin, congrats again. You're hard to keep up with!
"Miss Christmas" - family Christmas comedy
To reunite her divorced parents, a young girl who has missed Christmas for the third straight year, enlists the help of her goofy uncle to persuade Santa's people to recreate Christmas for her in the summer.
(I know that's a bit wordy now that we added in the "goofy uncle," but we wanted to show the part of the co-lead because people are looking for family films where they can star Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Will Ferrell, etc. and not just unknown kids).
I'm doing one more rewrite on notes from Bill Pace - this will take another week or so. Then my agent will send it out after Labor Day. I'm very hopeful because I think it's a fun, marketable script. Though I've been wrong before!
Alright, Irin! Way to be hot!
Look who's talking - Anita and Michael. You guys are all over the place!

Officers say new drug law will help them fight synthetic drugs

A sergeant with the Missoula Drug Task Force tells NBC Montana a new drug law passed yesterday will help authorities prosecute drug offenders.
He tells our team that in the past, drug-makers were able to switch up the chemical make-ups of drugs like "Spice" to side-step the law. Now, authorities can place more focus on what the drugs actually do to users' bodies, so the umbrella of controlled substances is larger.
House Bill 140 is sponsored by Rep. Tom Berry (R-Colstrip) and received bipartisan support. Attorney General Tim Fox helped design the legislation.
The law takes aim at drugs designed to avoid detection by authorities, and take similar forms to other synthetic drugs like methamphetamine.

New paintings
I am slowly getting back to creating new paintings. We moved in our new house 2 months ago and we are transforming the Garage into my Studio Gallery. I will have to post some pictures when it is all done.

ACEO-Mini Art
I haven't posted for a long time. There is a good reason behind it. We sold our big 4,000 sq. feet house on 3/4 acre lot and bought a new 2,000 sq. feet house on a small lot, just 5 minutes from the old house.Selling and looking to find just the right place to live is very tiring and stressful.It's a huge job and we are not finnished yet.Moving day is March 15 and 16.
Among all the packing and getting ready I took some time out for ME. I painted 3 new ACEO paintings. I hope you like them.

Chef's tasting menu at Mr. Pollo [SF]
- Ruth Lafler Mar 21, 2010 11:21 PM
Melanie had dropped by Mr. Pollo on Mission at 24th to check out the offerings of their Venezuelan chef, and noticed that he was offering a chef's tasting menu, prix fixe for $19.95. She rounded up a bunch of folks, including some visiting chowhounds, and the eight of us pushed together three two-tops, leaving one other table and two counter seats. Yes, it's a hole in the wall.
But it's a hole in the wall with a talented, passionate chef. How many Mission dives have a chef, not just a cook? How many have a chef who has cooked in top restaurants around San Francisco and across the country? How many have a chef who says that what he wanted to do was get rid of the menus and ask people what they wanted to eat and how much they wanted to pay, and he would cook for them? What other chef is offering a tasting menu for which he also does all the prep, serving and dishwashing?
This chef would be Manny Torres Gimenez, from Venezuela, and for our dinner he served:
An amuse bouche Venezuelan-style "stuffed" arepa: a silver-dollar-sized disk of white cornmeal, split and sandwiched with a slice of kiwi. The crisp browned crust on the outside of the arepa and the creamy interior were a surprisingly delicious contrast with the cool, sweet-tangy kiwi.
Next, a Colombian-style arepa: a corn aroma arose from a bigger disk, more deeply browned on the outside and oozing with cheese. A bit of sugarcane had caused the caramelization on the outside and brought out the corn flavor.
The arepa trio concluded with Venezuela chachapas: disks of crispy browned pureed fresh yellow corn folded around melting cheese.
From arepas we transitioned to their cousin, the empanada. This was a Colombian version, a crisp halfmoon-shaped anchiote-tinted cornmeal pasty filled with a smooth chicken-potato mixture. The filling was fairly bland on its own, but came with aji, a dipping sauce made of chopped green onions, vinegar, cilantro, etc.
Finally, the main course: a duo of braised lamb on a bed of anchiote rice and a grilled baby goat rib. This came plated with a dollop of a complex sauce that included jasmine and lavender flowers and other herbs. The lamb, based on a dish his grandmother taught him, was tender and deliciously simple. The goat rib was perfectly cooked medium rare, with crispy fat along the bone, and was surprisingly mild. Chef Gimenez said it comes from Australia.
As we were wrapping up, the chef told us he would be happy to put together a dinner based around dishes or ingredients of our choice, or a menu of dishes paired to chosen wines. Reservations are not required, but given the size of the restaurant and the fact that it's a one-man operation since Chef Gimenez recently took over sole proprietorship, strongly recommended.
He told us this was the first Sunday he'd been open and that from now on he would be open seven days a week.

Fantastic meal organized by Melanie. Thanks for setting it up and bringing those delicious wines. As Ruth's write-up covers most everything, I'll only add a few comments.
The amuse-bouch surprised me, as the kiwi was pretty harmonious with the corn dough. It wasn't too sweet, and the kiwi brought some nice acidity.
We found out that they filled the arepa with Monterey Jack because importing cheese would be far too expensive. It certainly melted nicely; I thought it even had some ricotta-esque notes that I found pleasant. The cheese wasn't sharp and the sugar was kept to a minimum, so I found the sugar to be a great addition. Crisp edges, moist corn interior, and melted cheese. Can't go wrong with that.
The chachapa was probably my least favorite, though it was my two friends' favorite course. I thought it was the least nuanced, melted jack inside crispy yellow corn, but it was pleasant enough.
The empanada, which the chef might have called something else that I don't remember, was probably my favorite course of the night. A pretty hard crust, probably the result of having created the empanadas a while in advance, but I liked biting through it to get to the tender potato-chicken filling. Some of the others thought it was a little salty, but I liked seeing those salt crystals on the outside. Combined with the almost Chinese-tasting aji, you got all kinds of tastes and sensations.
The lamb and goat was a satisfying plate of soul food. I didn't exactly understand what was in the sauce, which he seemed to imply included some sort of lamb element, but it really tied together the lamb with the rice. Did he say there was achiote in the rice as well? The doneness of the goat was pretty variable from plate to plate. Mine was pretty gray, but Melanie's plate next to mine was a little bloody. I'm guessing he didn't rest it very long. Despite that, it was incredibly tender, well-seasoned, and not too gamey at all. It was definitely a great bite or two of goat. I was gnawing on the bone afterwards trying to get it all. When my friend accidentally spilled his dish on himself, the chef made him a new plate of food without problem.
The chef was a really nice guy, the food was soul-satisfying, and the company was as fun as ever. Tonight was a great night at Mr. Pollo.

re: LikeFrogButOOOH
Manny Torres Gimenez, who was doing the tasting menu at Mr. Pollo, moved to Roxy's Cafe in December. Mr. Pollo's landlord has since been trying to copy what Gimenez was doing.
re: Robert Lauriston
we went tonight, not having heard about the change in ownership/chef... still, we had a great meal.
walked in and took the last available 2-top for the night - apparently they use different chefs for different shifts or seatings, but after this one (it was 7:00), the chef from Wise & Sons was having a private party there.
our waiter recommended the 2 of us each get the 4-course, $20 prix-fixe and split an arepa, which they've kept on the menu as a holdover from the last chef. so we did.
first up was a light and flavorful vietnamese-style broth with ginger, sliced baby corn, baby shrimp, glass noodles, basil and other things. very good.
next, the star of the night, a wonderfully creamy and buttery plate of shrimp and grits with a brown sauce described as "New Orleans flavor" by the waiter, which tasted mostly of worcestershire (in a good way). a sincerely perfect dish.
then came our arepa - overstuffed with carnitas, gooey cheese, veggies, and a cilantro crema. very tasty, but it pushed me over the edge into almost full before our main course came. so though i loved it, i'd probably not need to get an arepa every time, even splitting it. (and it's extra, not part of the prix-fixe.)
the main dish was seared flank steak over sauteed bok choy, with indian eggplants on a bed of cauli/sumac puree, and drizzled with a coconut/sambal sauce. this was probably the weakest dish, as the bok choy was actually hard to eat (a little stringy) but it was still tasty - the steak had a wonderful caramel flavor.
we almost never eat dessert, but since this came with the meal.... a lovely rosewater tart yogurt with granola and tangy/sweet fresh mango - light and a perfect ending.
nice little wine list, too. i had a dry-as-dirt rose and a nice, tobacco-y cotes du rhone.
i'm sorry the original chef is no longer there as I only went once during his tenure and ordered an arepa to go (and it was a much more traditional version - very good), but i am thrilled to have finally tried this place - this quality of food for that price? amazing.
I have mixed feelings about the dinner here. First of all for what we received, I thought it was overpriced. Especially since the tasting menu was posted as 15 dollars and shiftily changed to 20 when reservations were being made.
The various incarnations on the corn arepa theme could have been put in a basket as an appetizer and then we would of had the one entree. I think calling it a tasting menu was a little misleading as was the statement that the chef goes to the farmers market for fresh produce. The only thing green on the table was the herbs in the aji.
The fact that he left Venezuela at an early age and cooked in nearly every other ethnic cuisine restaurant except his own (he consulted at one) was disconcerting too. I was longing for a much soulful interpretation of the food of his motherland.
I guess it boils down to the fact that I didn't see the value in the food because I am pretty confident I could have cooked it just as well or better. This is very true for the entree which tasted like a bland lamb and potato stew over rice that left my mouth "cottony."
The chef seems passionate for sure, but I think this just fell a little short. I think the cuisines of Venezuela/ Columbia has so much more to inspire.
re: kare_raisu
I'm not a fan of the "I could have cooked it just as well" theory of value. Maybe you could have, but I couldn't have, not if I include all the time I would have to spend researching recipes, sourcing ingredients, etc. I thought the value was fair, if not extraordinary.
I think your point about the menu being somewhat uninspired and there not being much evidence of it being market driven is well taken, though. I think maybe he's still feeling his way for what he should be doing with these dinners: should he be offering people unfamiliar with the cuisine a traditional meal, or should he be more "out there" and risk turning off people who are expecting food like that cooked by grandma back home.
re: Ruth Lafler
Its not a theory of value but a fact - i could have put lamb meat and potatoes in a crockpot and came out with an equally if not tastier result. I didn't really see any inspiration from his stints at SPQR, Les Halles etc seep into the food which would have been interesting.
I think I only appreciated really his ability to finesse the cornmeal into different guises.

Been too busy to post, will try to add more details later today. In the meantime, here's the slideshow of our dinner.

re: Melanie Wong
That was $20 bucks? Looks great and looks like a deal to me.
Let me add a few impressions of our tasting menu dinner. First, I didn't have a chance to speak to Chef Manny directly about it. I called to make a reservation last week and the man who answered was quite gruff and said that the price would be $19.99 per person plus tax. I didn't think it was the chef, and stopped by Friday night to make sure that there hadn't been a change in personnel. The chef had the night off and th woman on duty didn't speak much English either. I tried to ask her why our quoted price was higher than the $15 on the new menus, shown here, and all she said was that it was "special". The new price was communicated in advance to those attending.
Mr. Pollo's new printed menu
In our chat with Chef Manny, we learned that this was the first time that Mr. Pollo was open on Sunday. Also that the man I spoke to was his previous partner, maybe those had some bearing on the price or maybe we had a more elaborate entrée than typical. I should have investigated further with the chef when I had the chance, but failed to do so. Turning a blind eye to the bottles we brought in made it more than worth it to me.
I found all the food quite well-executed. Well, maybe not the empanada. Part of the main dish was a personal excursion, the others were typical of their cuisines. The chef deserves kudos for the skill shown with the arepas and cachapa, all head and shoulders above the quality found in this area. I was surprised to not have any greens or "farmers market veggies" as had been promoted to me in my first encounter with the chef. If there had been a vegetable side, a simple salad or maybe a garden soup, I would have no complaints at all.
Venezuelan-style kiwi mini arepas as amuse-bouche – Golden and lightly crisp from the griddle and so tender and delicate inside.
Colombian-style cheese arepa – Even better than the previous cook used to make here, the level of carmelization on the crust was quite remarkable and even more so for getting so much color without scorching. The sweetness of the sugar cane popped out the corny flavor notes even more.
Cachapa – I've only had a cachapa once before at Café Coupa in Palo Alto which charges $16 for one. This was more tender inside and crisper outside, a much finer version.
Ají sauce – As others have noted, this tasted vaguely Cantonese to me. I was craving some capsicum at this point and was a little let down that something named ají (chile pepper) had no heat. But I did like the savoriness it added to the empanada.
Empanada – Filled with chicken and potatoes, the deep-fried crust was stained with red achiote. The crust was a bit too tough. Without the ají sauce, this was have been too bland alone.
Entrees in a row at the table – We were a bit cramped with eight seated at three two-tops pushed together. Four is probably the ideal party size for eating here. There was no room on the table for water glasses, for example. Here's the shot before one full plate ended up on someone's lap.
Closer look at the braised lamb and grilled goat rib chop plates – The braised lamb and potatoes may seem simple, but the careful browning from searing off or roasting added more flavor than can be achieved in a crockpot alone. Also, the texture was on point, not stringy or dried out, yet tender and fully cooked. I was a little tired at this point and didn't focus as closely on the "comma" of complex sauce painted on the plate to try to deconstruct it. I just know that I enjoyed it immensely on the delicious grilled rib chop. Like others, I picked up the bone to gnaw on it, not wanting to miss a bit of the flavor.
Chef Manny in action – In a small place like this, every seat in the house is at the Chef's Table with a clear view of the cooking, as shown here.
My other quibble is that the meal ended somewhat abruptly. Offering some fresh fruit as a final offering to signal the end would be a good touch.
Chef Manny said that he wanted to present his own style of cooking at taqueria prices. For me, he succeeded at that.

re: Melanie Wong
I was tasked with deciding where to eat with my Mom in the city one night, so I decided to give her an adventure and we went to Mr. Pollo. Because we had ballet tickets we got there just as it was opening (at 6 p.m.) and we were the second party in line. The restaurant quickly filled up, mostly people ordering the tasting menu (four courses for $15).
I didn't take notes, but the four courses were: a fairly traditional Venezuelan chicken and rice soup; a fried oyster and the world's smallest scallop on a bed of greens; a slice of pork tenderloin with ...?; and a fairly traditional braise of lamb with rice cooked with beet greens and garnished with beets.
I'm still not sure that he's quite got it down: the two more traditional courses were better than the two more "chefly" courses (with the caveat that I don't like oysters -- Mom liked that dish a lot, and the tiny scallop was kind of neat the way it just burst in my mouth like a small grape). The pork dish was clearly unmemorable, except that I thought the pork was a bit dry. The use of seasonal vegetables -- including fresh favas (with the pork, now that I think about it) is more apparent than it was in our previous dinner. The chicken soup and the braised lamb were both delicious and on their own were worth the price, as is the whole experience -- my Mom had a blast and has been telling friends about the $15 tasting menu she had in a hole in the wall in the Mission. Chef Manny remembered that I'd been in before and was an otherwise delightful and charming host, and the people in the restaurant were a convivial mix of and friends/regulars. Unfortunately we had to dash away, since it took a while for him to get the food coming and we had gobble down the final course to make our curtain -- it would have been nice to linger a little more and talk to him more about the food.

I tried the tasting menu with a coworker back when it was $15pp. I have to say it was the first meal I ever ate where I was hungrier when I left than when I arrived. The coup de grâce was the final course where we saw the chef dig out a couple of huge plates and we though to ourselves we were finally going to get served something of substance. It ended up being a scrawny, meatless quail leg with a couple of fingernail sized plantain bits along side it.
Thankfully Rosamunde Sausage was across the street...
re: Civil Bear
It's still $15 a person. Our chowdown was apparently a "special" meal at a "special" price. I wouldn't say I left hungry -- the plates we had were more substantial than you describe, but the servings weren't huge. Enough to satisfy me, but maybe not enough for a Bear.
re: Civil Bear
The menu does say "Tasting" menu, so I'm not expecting huge portions.
re: baron45
Me neither. But I was expecting to be at least somewhat satisfied after four "courses." Even my 100-lb coworker went away hungry.
Perhaps stretching the four microscopic courses out for over an hour had something to with it as well. Two bites of something that looked pretty and then another 15 wait for the next bite or two...
re: ssfire
Not exactly reservations. But you can put your name on the list, and they'll call your cellphone.
I recommend lunch, and not getting the tasting menu. You can pick an entree and two or three sides for $10. Much less hassle and the food's just as good.
re: Windy
Ditto on lunch. My partner and 1 year old and I went around 2pm and had no wait. We had the empenada and an arepa for an app, ordered 2 more empenadas because they were so good. We split a pork chop with plantains and wonderful beans and a green salad. Got out under $25 with tip. Service was casual to say the least, had to ask for utensils after we received the entree but we are pretty easy.
Don't think I would be able to wait when I could go to Trebol across the street.
re: selectiveomnivore
We had a reservation and had talked to the chef in advance. Note that this was well before it was written up, featured on Food Network, etc. so it wasn't jammed the way it is now.
re: Ruth Lafler
thanks, Ruth!
re: Ruth Lafler
do you know what time this place opens? do they still take reservations?
re: naesb81
I think they open at six -- I have no idea what their current reservation policy is.
I would definitely say skipping the tasting menu is the way to go, otherwise the portions aren't always fulfilling, and it tends to feel like the same dish, same sauce, same side, with a different protein swapped out.
They are good with substitutions, so be up front if you want to avoid seafood or whatever.
Half the appeal is the setting, and experience....and yeah, there are a lot of complimentary snacks nearby if you do happen to leave hungry.
If they're still doing it, the dessert tasting is the secret star of Mr. Pollo.

re: sugartoof
When I went recently I didn't feel that the courses were the same at all.
re: Ruth Lafler
I had the same side, and sauce on every single course that arrived with a side.
Everything but seafood arrived on the dry to outright overcooked side.
The place is great fun, but it's best to keep expectations low here.
re: sugartoof
I visited Mr. Pollo for lunch today and was quite pleased. The tasting menu included a roasted beet salad, a deep fried frogs leg, flank steak with squash gratin, and a braised pork dish. There were various sauces and sides that made each course more complex than that listing might make it sound. Everything was very well prepared and interesting; one could argue that the seasoning on some of the dishes could have been kicked up a notch, but it was all tasty. For $20, it is an excellent deal. Also, they are applying for a beer/wine license -- which would be a nice addition.
re: sugartoof
Note that he's still doing the dessert tasting mentioned above, for $10. The two times I've had it it included a chocolate dessert, tres leches cake, and flan. The flan is superb, but loses it's edge if you store it in the fridge overnight and eat it cold.
Hi Everyone,
I'm excited to read about Mr. Pollo and would like to go check out the restaurant for myself when I head to SF next week. However, I seem to have a problem loading Mr Pollo's web page.
Can I found out if anyone else has that problem as well. If so, how did you guys make reservations?
Thanks so much in advance!
re: bbtoes
I've never made a reservation. I stop by either early (e.g., 6ish) or later (e.g., 8ish) and typically put my name on a list for them to call me when they're ready. If it's going to be a while, I'll have a drink nearby.
edit: you could also call... (415) 374-5546
re: bbtoes
Be prepared for a stretched out meal if you go, since he works alone basically, the meal can take over 2 hrs. Though the food was definitely good the last time I went, it would've been helpful to know that I'd be sitting there that long.
re: nicedragonboy
Thanks for the tips(s) guys!
I'll definitely make it a point to head there at about 5pm to ensure I get a seat and to give the meal enough time.
re: bbtoes
They aren't open at 5 though, so that won't help. Keep in mind they have ~10 seats. You can watch baseball or Olympics across the street at Rosamunde if you have to wait.
re: nicedragonboy
>meal can take over 2 hrs.
yeah, that is worth mentioning. especially given 1. how uncomfortable the space can be 2. the quantity of food was so small [at least back when the tasting menu was $15] you're about as hungry at the end of the meal as you were at the beginning.
i didnt mind the experience as it was cheap and it was a laid back and flexible evening, again, it's worth being aware of these factors.
re: psb
Yes, my experience was that he opens the door at 6, but he isn't prepped and ready to serve, so you're lucky to get your first course by 6:45. And people drop in to chat, the pace is very laid back -- it's definitely a "total experience" kind of place. I found the amount of food to be about right -- I certainly wasn't hungry! I think the volume may vary depending on what he's serving.
re: Ruth Lafler
Does anyone know if Mr. Pollo does lunches on Sunday? Might need to consider that due to change of plans.
re: bbtoes
He's closed on Sundays, but I've had lunch there on Saturdays a few times.
re: bbtoes
Correct me if I'm wrong, but at lunch he only does the "regular" menu, right?
re: Ruth Lafler
I had the 4 course $15 tasting menu for lunch last year. A total of maybe eight small bites.
re: Civil Bear
he must change things around since I recall one of my courses being a thinly sliced piece of seasoned, marinated flank steak at least 2.5" by 5" with a side of rice. More than a few bites for sure.
Also a fairly significant medley of mushrooms that he said he personally hunted some of them for. One of the best mushroom dishes I've had.
re: Ruth Lafler
This past May, he did a tasting menu for lunch. I don't remember the cost for certain, but I'm pretty sure it cost the same amount as dinner. If not, I would have left a really nice, and certainly well deserved, tip.
Chef Manny has moved to Roxy's.

Findings for PPC in Mesa
Mesa Ranks Amongst Most Expensive Markets for Keywords in Rocky Mountain States
SEP's ongoing research into PPC Campaigns has revealed that Mesa was the 16th most expensive city in Rocky Mountain States in keyword bids in Google Adwords for the month of September 2014. Mesa also ranks amongst the most expensive cities in Arizona, ranking 4th. In the study, Ann Arbour ranked as the most expensive city in Rocky Mountain States for keywords, while Lincoln ranked as the least expensive city.
Month over Month Google Adwords Prices for Mesa Rise in September 2014
SEP's research shows that the average price of a click to advertisers targeting Mesa keywords increased by 13% in September 2014.
Google Adwords Keyword Prices 24% Higher in Mesa than Tempe
SEP's research also tracks Google Adwords price changes and trends in cities across Canada and the U.S. Recent data shows that average prices in Mesa are 24% higher than in Tempe. The average price of a click in Mesa is $14.07.
This price difference is understandable though, given the population of Tempe is less than Mesa, which generally means less competition and therefore lower prices.
To get a better sense of relative prices, we also compared prices with another city of equal population, Virginia Beach, and found the average price of a click in Mesa was 10% lower than in Virginia Beach. This suggests that perhaps prices in Mesa are relatively low.
The Price Rank shows how expensive keywords are in certain industry and segment relative to other cities in a country, region and province.

The WORSTED Story
Serenity Worsted is a yarn I find I just keep reordering ( and yes, I order just like you can via the Premier Yarns Website .They give me such grief at the office, "Deborah, we'll send it to you for free!" but I like to go on line and order the way the rest of the world does. How else can I know that you are getting the service that you have the right to expect?!
My latest shipment of Serenity Worsted was in bright reds, blacks, and cream to make the drop stitch afghan you'll find here on the website. Now that the kids are big enough to stop spilling drinks all over the family room, I have redone everything and a couple of those afghans will be the perfect snuggly accessory that will both 'make' the room and encourage the family to gather together for movies.
I like the worsted because it really is that do-everything yarn. There really isn't anything you can't make thanks to the tremendous range of solid colors. And frankly, that's a problem. Because you can do anything with Serenity Worsted, I want to do everything. I just can't find the time for that!

Tony Blair to speak at Elgin school
By Emily McFarlan Miller Sun-Times Media email@example.com January 21, 2013 7:22PM

Updated: February 23, 2013 6:37AM
For a school with fewer than 1,500 students, Judson University in Elgin attracts some big-name speakers.
Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair will speak this spring at Judson's third annual World Leaders Forum, following former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, who spoke last year, and former President George W. Bush, who spoke at the inaugural forum in 2011.
The school announced Blair's visit Monday on its website after announcing the news to students and staff that morning in chapel.
The 2013 World Leaders Forum will be April 12, according to the Judson website. It did not note the location of the event, but past forums have been held on the university campus.
The annual event brings recognized world leaders to the Judson campus to "inspire and ignite a flame of leadership for all who attend," according to the website.
The event also supports the creation of an Entrepreneurship Studies program at the university.
Tickets to this year's event cost anywhere from $65 for general admission to $2,000 for a VIP reception that will include a photo opportunity with the former prime minister and a private address, "Leadership Insights: Faith, Power and the Post Modern World," according to the website. That money will go to the university's Entrepreneurship Studies Endowment Fund and Judson Student Scholarship Fund, it said.
Blair was prime minister of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from 1997 to 2007, serving three terms in office, the website said.
He led public services reform, introduced a national minimum wage, oversaw the London 2012 Games bid and was instrumental in the Northern Ireland peace process.
He also was a strong supporter of the United States after the 2001 terrorist attacks and joined the U.S. in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
He now works to secure peace in the Middle East, improve governance in Africa and encourage understanding of world faiths, in addition to other causes, according to the Judson website. His best-selling memoir, "A Journey: My Political Life," was released in September 2010.

Chesterton Tribune
Liberty man dies in crash on Ind 149
A Liberty Township resident died in a two vehicle accident on Tuesday at the
intersection of Ind. 149 and C.R. 875N, the Porter County Sheriff's Police
The victim was identified as David A. Pence, 69. Porter County Coroner
Victoria Deppe pronounced him dead at the scene, police said, and today her
spokesperson told the Chesterton Tribune that cause of death was determined
to be multiple blunt force trauma to the head and chest.
According to police, at 10:48 a.m. Pence was westbound in his 1993 Ford
Taurus on C.R. 875N. Witnesses advised police that he stopped for the stop
sign at the intersection of Ind. 149, then proceeded from the stop sign, and
was struck in the driver's side door by a 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
northbound on Ind. 149 and driven by Crystal S. Burch, 26, of Portage.
Burch advised police that she braked and swerved but was unable to avoid
Both vehicles came to rest in a field northwest of the intersection, Burch's
after striking a utility pole, police said.
Burch declined medical treatment at the scene but was subsequently treated at
Porter Portage Hospital Campus for pain and abrasions to her arm. Two of her
passengers, a 28-year-old Portage woman and a 16-year-old South Haven girl,
were uninjured, police said, but a third–who had unbuckled her seat belt just
prior to the crash to reach for something–struck her forehead and sustained
The results of a routine blood test on Burch are pending, police said, but
there is no indication at all that she was impaired at the time of the crash.
Both the Liberty Township Volunteer and South Haven fire departments
responded to scene. The accident is being investigated by a PCSP crash
reconstructionist with assistance from the Indiana State Police.
Ind. 149 was closed in both directions for three hours.

Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed his intention to give medals to every player who has contributed to this season's Barclays Premier League title success.
The Reds boss is happy that the Premier League have relaxed their rule to allow league-winning clubs to reward more squad members with medals.
Previously only those who had made 10 or more league appearances were eligible and clubs were required to apply for extra medals for players who had not reached that tally. But now five appearances is the requirement and United will receive 40 medals, 10 more than before.
And Sir Alex confirmed: "They [the fringe players] will get medals. It's changed now. They give you an allocated number of medals and it's up to you to distribute them how you want.
"I think that's fair because, in Darren Fletcher's case for instance, it's only illness which has prohibited him from getting a medal [under the old 10 appearances rule]. I'm sure if he'd been available he would have been sitting here with one.
"[Alexander] Büttner's been great because he's travelled to every away game with us, he's been involved in every single training session, he's played three times and been a substitute another 10 times, something like that. So I think that's a contribution.
"It's very difficult for a goalkeeper to get the 10 appearances when your first-choice goalkeeper is performing the way David De Gea has. So I think Anders Lindegaard deserves his medal too. We'll distribute the way we think is fair."

Can iTunes Replay challenge the almighty Netflix?
Summary: Tech's worst kept secret: Apple's working on an audio and video streaming service that could challenge Netflix. Can iTunes Replay pose a credible challenge to the big "N?"
AppAdvice reports that Apple is close to finally launching a full-fledged video re-downloading (and possibly streaming) service named iTunes Replay.
According to the its sources iTunes Replay will allow Apple TV (and "probably" iOS) users to re-download movies they purchased from iTunes dating back to January 1, 2009.
It's unclear when and if the service will work with a desktop Mac, but I'm betting that it will as soon as the proper licensing agreements are in place.
In a nutshell, iTunes Replay is an extension to what Apple is already doing with iCloud and free re-downloads of previously purchased music. As Apple secures the remaining rights, TV Shows as well as Movies in iTunes will be given little arrow indicating whether they're "iTunes Replay eligible", that is, available to be downloaded again. Note that some content will unfortunately only be available to download five times and we don't know how streaming will count towards that limit.
Apple appears to be taking another cautious step toward streaming but it's still a long way from being a full-on video streaming video service that could challenge the likes of Netflix -- at least, not immediately. But then again, it's not the first time someone's predicted Netflix's demise would come at the hands of Apple.
Being the lead dog, Apple is taking its time and doing things right. It doesn't want to rush into into anything that would jeopardize its relationships with the music labels (like Google and Amazon did) or with the movie studios for that matter.
Apple will enter the streaming space when it's good and ready, I'm just hoping that it will be worth the wait.

Since its nadir a few short years ago when the tournament drew all of half a dozen teams, the Bob Haney Memorial Little League Tournament, held in conjunction with the Colville Rendezvous In The Park celebration, has grown considerably.

Those 20 teams will likely swell Colville's Rendezvous weekend population by from 350 to 400 people.
