Raise a glass to National Negroni Week with an AmericanoThursday, May 29th, 2014
It's National Negroni week, which means bartenders all over St. Louis , including me, is most likely throwing their own spins on this Italian cafe classic. But before we recreate a staple in the bartender's arsenal, let's stop and appreciate the origins of this beloved cocktail.
The Negroni and its lesser-known siblings, the Boulevardier and Old Pal, are all derived from the 1860s Italian cooler Americano, a favorite of many cocktail connoisseurs. "I've always been enamored with the sorts of long drinks you find in European cafes," wrote bar manager and beverage blogger Jeffrey Morganthaler. "They're light, palate cleansers, appetite awakeners and thirst quenchers." The Americano is no different. Bitter, citrusy, fizzy and refreshing as hell, it's perfect for a spring afternoon.

1 serving
1½ oz. Campari
1½ oz. Cinzano sweet vermouth
Soda water
Orange slice to garnish
• Pour the Campari and sweet vermouth into an ice-filled Collins glass. Top with the soda water and stir. Garnish with the orange slice.

Just Five: Quick Strawberry Balsamic ShrubTuesday, May 27th, 2014
Alert: This will be the summer of the shrub. These fruit syrups preserved with vinegar are popping up in bars all over St. Louis, and they are simple to make at home, too. When it comes to spirit combinations, the sky is the limit. Choose your base flavor from stone fruit, berries, citrus or herbs, add a tart vinegar (cider, champagne, balsamic, red wine, etc.) and sugar. A true shrub is a day-long process akin to canning or preserving, but this recipe gets you from berry to beverage in less than 30 minutes.
I love the combination of berries and balsamic vinegar, and since strawberries are everywhere right now, this was an easy choice. I used it as the base in four cocktails, each with a different spirit: gin, bourbon, vodka or dark rum. The vodka drink tasted like regret; it reminded me that I just don't like vodka. The bourbon was too strong for this variety, but it would be wonderful with a peach shrub. The dark rum was a bit too sweet for me, but I managed to drink it all – in the name of research. But the gin? Well, Baby Bear, the gin was just right. If you're not a drinker, shrubs also make sweet-tart, refreshing sodas.
Quick Strawberry Balsamic Shrub
Makes 1½ cups shrub
1 lb. strawberries, hulled and quartered
½ cup sugar
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
Gin (optional)
Soda water (optional)
• Place the strawberries, sugar, balsamic vinegar and 2 tablespoons water into a saucepan over medium heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally and crushing the berries with a spoon.
• Place a fine mesh sieve over a bowl and strain the mixture, pressing the fruit with a spoon and scraping the bottom of the sieve to remove all the juice. Discard the solids. You should have about 1½ cups. Shrub will keep refrigerated 7 to 10 days.
• For a cocktail: Pour 1½ ounces of strawberry shrub into a tall glass with ice. Add 2 ounces gin and stir well.
• For a nonalcoholic beverage: Pour 1½ ounces of strawberry shrub into a tall glass with ice. Add ½ cup soda water and stir to combine.
By the Book: Robert Simonson's Rye Old-FashionedSaturday, May 10th, 2014
Endpapered in late-Victorian ink marbling, Robert Simonson's "The Old-Fashioned: The Story of the World's First Classic Cocktail" exists in praise of an august, sometimes neglected fixture of American liquor lore. The Old-Fashioned, arguably the ur-cocktail – the first of its kind – is durable, classic and a test of any bartender's hand at the basics. And as Simonson tells us, it's got history behind it, too.
The New York Times cocktail columnist – passionate, occasionally glib – plays his cards close to his chest, paying out historical tidbits about the drink while insinuating his secret knowledge of the authentic recipe. But even Simonson forgets that "authentic" is not the point – the Old-Fashioned is really a piece of folklore, whose various generations have mutated over the years.
The book's latter half is filled with recipes, including the notable ones from early 20th-century cocktail books and a few modern reimaginings. I mixed up one of each – the time-honored recipe for an orthodox Old-Fashioned and the gin-based Elder-Fashioned, invented by Manhattan bartender Phil Ward in 2007.
The ingredient list for the classic is simple: whiskey, bitters, sugar and an orange peel to garnish. On the rye-versus-bourbon debate, Simonson says this: "Simply put, bourbon will give you a mellower and sweeter cocktail, whereas rye will deliver a bit more spice and kick." I went with Knob Creek Rye.
An ice purist, Simonson scoffs at the flimsy cubes made in home ice trays. He suggests half-filling water balloons for a glasslike, lasting orb of ice that won't dilute your beverage. Put them in the freezer a few hours before mixing. The balloon cuts away easily with a knife or scissors.
One of the drink's early evolutionary quirks was the placement of a silver spoon in the glass as a garnish, part of a larger ethos among pre-Prohibition bartenders of relinquishing control to the customer, allowing them to stir and muddle the beverage at their pleasure. Though this custom has fallen out somewhat, in our age of DIY drinkmaking, I decided to follow suit. Lacking sugar cubes, I used granulated sugar. Muddle, pour whiskey, add ice and stir.
The simplicity of the recipe speaks for itself – the result is a well-balanced, traditional Old-Fashioned that goes down easy. Be judicious with the water at first – a spoonful is too much – since the ice more than adequately mellows the cocktail after a few minutes. When garnishing, shave only the zest of the orange and rub the peel along the edge of the glass before squeezing the oil inside.
Assembly of the Elder-Fashioned proved equally simple. Stir together gin, orange bitters and St. Germain, that wondrous elixir adored by starry-eyed barkeeps everywhere. This version is more herbal and citrusy, sweetened by the elderflower. Brunch-goers should consider adding this to their list of midday tipples.
Robert Simonson's Rye Old-Fashioned
Makes 1
2 oz. rye
1 sugar cube
2 dashes Angostura bitters
Orange twist
• In an Old-Fashioned glass, muddle the sugar, bitters and a spoonful of warm water until the sugar is dissolved. Add the rye. Stir. Add 1 large chunk of ice and stir until chilled. Twist a large piece of orange zest over the drink and drop into the glass.
Phil Ward's Elder-Fashioned
Makes 1
2 oz. Plymouth gin
½ oz. St. Germain elderflower liqueur
2 dashes orange bitters
Grapefruit twist
• Combine all the ingredients except the grapefruit twist in an Old-Fashioned glass. Add 1 large chunk of ice and stir until chilled. Twist a piece of grapefruit zest over the drink and drop into the glass.

Drink This Weekend Edition: Two prime (and slick-looking) pinot noirsFriday, May 9th, 2014
{Mouton Noir owner André Hueston Mack}
Slick packaging has never been something we look for first in a wine, and we've certainly never taken it to be an indication of quality. Indeed, we often worry the opposite will hold true – the cooler a label's appearance, the more skeptical we are about what's inside the bottle. We always suspect that someone is trying to cover something up.
Of course, this is a pessimistic, maybe even slightly paranoid way of thinking, and not one that we feel comfortable always endorsing. Especially when we are proved so wrong, as was the case recently, when André Hueston Mack visited St. Louis with his stellar Mouton Noir wines.
Mack is a well-known personality in the wine world; he was head sommelier at Per Se during its ascension into the restaurant pantheon. On the heels of that success, he started Mouton Noir, a garage winemaking operation in Oregon that also bills itself as a "two-fold lifestyle project" (the second fold being a T-shirt operation that channels wine zeitgeist into fashion). It might sound like a bit much, but man, does it work. Since we aren't fashion critics, we'll stick to talking about his wines, particularly his O.P.P pinot noir and his Oregogne pinot noir.
Mouton Noir O.P.P. 2010 pinot noir
The 2010 O.P.P. (In this case, the acronym stands for Other People's Pinot, as opposed to Naughty by Nature's original Other People's not-for-publication acronym.) is benchmark pinot from Willamette Valley, Oregon. On the nose, it displays lovely red and black cherry fruit backlit by hints of earth and pine. The wine is medium-bodied on the palate with excellent balance, control and integration, as well as a minerally cherry component. It finishes with a more minerality and hints of cherry pit and spice. Available at The Wine and Cheese Place in Creve Coeur.
Mouton Noir Oregogne 2011 pinot noir
The 2011 Oregogne is a step up in silkiness and sappiness. It is most definitely from Willamette Valley, too, but with a distinct nod towards Burgundy (both on the label and in the bottle); the fruit here comes from two single vineyards in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA. On the nose, bright red fruit draws your attention first, and red cherry is underpinned by damp earth and mushroom. On the palate, the wine is very silky and extremely graceful, displaying blue fruit notes and more forest floor, all the while channeling firm yet flexible minerality. It finishes long with blueberry and mineral echos. Available at The Vino Gallery in St. Louis.

Drink This Weekend Edition: Wine your night away at St. Louis' ultimate bodegaFriday, April 25th, 2014
Whether you stay in or go out tonight (or you go for a run through Tower Grove Park and happen to veer off for a drink – true story, don't judge), a stop at one of Gustine Market's free wine samplings is never a bad idea.
Join co-owner Vicky Cumminskey (pictured) tonight from 5:30 to 8 p.m. to sample from eight different wines like the Clos Du Bois 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon, La Crema 2012 Chardonnay and Wairau River 2012 Sauvignon Blanc. Afterwards, buy a bottle or two of your favorites, or grab some brew from Gustine's great beer selection, like Abita's newly released Spring IPA, 4 Hands Contact High and Lagunitas Undercover Investigation Shut-Down.
If all the drinking makes you hungry, do some grocery shopping while you're there. This tiny, unassuming Tower Grove South bodega is packed with tons of foodie finds, like Baileys' Range ice cream available by the half pint, sweets from Kakao Chocolate and frozen pies from Dogtown Pizza.
Can't make it to tonight's tasting? There will another one Thursday, May 8 – a perfect opportunity to buy some extra wine to bring to Sauce's first Food Truck Friday of the season the next night.
The List: Moll's Cup No. 3 at The Good PieWednesday, April 23rd, 2014
Welcome to The List, our annual homage to the people, places, dishes and drinks we love in St. Louis. Don't miss a single pick; click here to read the whole List and share your thoughts on Twitter with #thesaucelist.
At its most basic, Moll's Cup No. 3 is a refreshing highball. Or, perhaps, a boozy fruit cocktail. But to us, it's the epitome of what it means to be handcrafted. The cocktail gets its inspiration from a Pimm's Cup, a British tippler that combines gin-based Pimm's No. 1 liqueur with club soda or ginger ale plus lots and lots of fresh fruit. For his version, bartender Jeffrey Moll Jr. makes his own liqueur by flavoring bourbon with sweet Dubonnet, cinnamon and bitter orange peel; carbonates it with ginger-infused water and a house-made pastis; and bottles the cocktail in individual servings. Why bottle? When you order Moll's Cup No. 3, Moll needs time for the final step: fashioning all that fruit into an edible work of art.

Drink This Weekend Edition: Hoppy Spring at iTapFriday, April 18th, 2014
Spring finally looks as though like it's here to stay. Celebrate its arrival Saturday at International Tap House's Hoppy Spring. Beginning at noon, iTap's locations in Chesterfield, Central West End and Soulard offer up a variety of hoppy libations, including some on cask.
Cask beer has a gentler carbonation level and usually shows a more complex flavor and aromatic profile. Many beers will be available at all locations, but some are specific to each bar. Odds are you won't safely be able to make it to all three bars in one day, so I've tapped a must-try pick from each.
iTap Central West End: Charleville Brewing's Ale Mucho Hoppo on cask
A medium-bodied Imperial IPA, Ale Mucho Hoppo weighs in at 9 percent and is a hazy orange color. Upon smelling this beer, you'll definitely pick up citrus fruit and herbal notes. Serving this on cask nicely rounds out the mouth feel. The earthy, sweeter notes balance out the intensity of the hops. The best part about this beer is that even at 9 percent, it doesn't come across boozy.
iTap Chesterfield: 2nd Shift Brewing's Brew Cocky on cask
I really can't say enough about the IPAs 2nd Shift puts out, and Brew Cocky is one of its best. This Imperial IPA is a sneaky 9.5 percent thing of beauty. With big aromas of pineapple, grapefruit and mango, along with some caramel sweetness, this one begs you to drink it. Served on cask, the softer carbonation brings out slightly more bitter grapefruit notes and some pine resin.
iTap Soulard: 4 Hands' Brewing Co.'s Contact High on cask
Leading the charge as one of my favorite spring releases is Contact High. A 5 percent, hopped-up wheat beer, this one is accessible to both IPA lovers and those who don't like over-the-top hops. This is not your typical wheat beer. Brewed with orange zest and just the right amount of hops, it's a citrus lover's dream.
Drink This Weekend Edition: Three cocktails with a new viewFriday, April 11th, 2014
Like everyone else in town, we've caught a strong strain of the patio bug. This weekend when the weather is beckoning you to sip a fruity drink al fresco, look no further than Herbie's Vintage '72. Along with a new spring food and cocktail menu, this weekend the restaurant will have patio seating for the first time.
According to Amanda Wilgus, Herbie's beverage director and floor manager, whenever the restaurant changes its cocktail menu, the whole staff participates. Each bartender comes up with an original concoction, and then with the help of friends and Herbie's regulars, everyone blindly tastes the cocktails and decides on the best. This year, seven signature cocktails made the spring menu. While patio drinking calls for many adult beverages between friends, to start you off, here are three of our favorites.
1. To truly invoke some easy living, warm weather vibes, start with the Kentucky Tropic. With Basil Hayden's bourbon, lemon juice, mango purée and simple syrup, this martini goes down sweet and smooth but packs a punch. If you like your drinks with a bit more acid, a squeeze from the lemon wedge garnish does the trick.
2. Not to be missed is this week's featured sangria. Red wine, orange liquor, brandy and fruit juices combine for a wonderfully balanced Spanish sipper. Not too sweet and with notes of nutmeg and cinnamon, we recommend ordering this one by the pitcher.
3. Yes, we know, Summertime Blues looks like something your mother or 21-year-old niece orders on vacation in Florida. But despite its neon blue color, this drink is really great. With Don Q rum, simple syrup, Yellow Chartreuse, citrus, mint and blue curaçao, this tart, floral cocktail has subtle hints of anise and a flavor that is entirely fresh.
Not a booze drinker? Herbie's new menu also features two carefully crafted mocktails. After all, when it comes to patio drinking, alcohol or not, everyone needs something cold and delicious.
The List: The Rattlesnake King at The Fortune Teller BarThursday, April 10th, 2014
Welcome to The List, our annual homage to the people, places, dishes and drinks we love in St. Louis. Don't miss a single pick; click here to read the whole List and share your thoughts on Twitter with #thesaucelist.
With a name like The Rattlesnake King, you expect a serious bite. But the only thing dangerous about this citrusy, well-proportioned cocktail is its drinkability. Flavors of orange and apple mingle with smooth W.L. Weller Special Reserve 7-year-old bourbon in this easy-sipping antidote to a long workweek.

1 serving
1 oz. W.L. Weller Special Reserve 7-year-old bourbon
¾ oz. Calvados apple brandy
½ oz. Cardamaro amaro
¼ oz. freshly squeezed orange juice
4 to 5 dashes Angostura bitters
Orange peel
• Add all the ingredients except the orange peel to a cocktail shaker. Fill the shaker with ice and shake 3 times.
• Strain into a chilled Old-Fashioned glass. Garnish with the orange peel.

Drink This Weekend Edition: Hiro Asian Kitchen's brunch cocktailsFriday, March 14th, 2014
{From left: The Bloody Tokyo, The Bloody Hiro}
Now that I have a kid (who wakes up at 6 a.m. almost every day), brunch has taken on a whole new meaning. Bringing a baby isn't entirely frowned upon, we still get to see friends, and we can go to bed at 8 p.m. without feeling lame.
This Sunday, March 16, Hiro Asian Kitchen debuts its brunch menu, which will be served Sundays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Until now, this chic Asian fusion restaurant and lounge, located at 1405 Washington Ave., has only served lunch and dinner, but its inventive and delicious Sunday brunch offerings are not to be missed, especially its cocktails. Not too mention Hiro's stylish décor and hip vibe will make you feel like you're having a raging night on the town, even at 11:30 Sunday morning.
Among cocktails, Hiro's brunch menu features two bloody marys. If you were carousing late the night before, I recommend drinking both. The Bloody Hiro is made with Sriracha vodka, soy sauce, Sichuan pepper salt and garnished with a thick piece of house-cured bacon. Continuing Hiro's Asian fusion concept, Bloody Tokyo has a sake base, is garnished with spicy wasabi-coated peas, and the glass is rimmed with wasabi salt.
{From left: Sunshine, Lychee-Tini}
On the sweeter – but not too sweet side – Hiro has several great options. "These are happy drinks. These speak to what we do here," said owner Bernie Lee. Try Sunshine, a cocktail loaded with Wild Tea vodka, elderflower liquor, Aperol and blood orange bitters.
Another subtly sweet cocktail, the Lychee-Tini is a must. Seriously. It's my new favorite cocktail. I don't know why we haven't been drinking this take on a bellini forever. It's so simple: Champagne with lychee puree, and the flavors are perfectly balanced.
{Green tea waffle}
Not in the mood for a cocktail? You can't really go wrong with any of the new brunch items, but the green tea waffle is just out of control. With light hints of green tea, the waffle is topped with vanilla ice cream, house-made coconut cream, fresh fruit and then drizzled with a syrup made with sake.

What Toy Companies Can Learn From The X Factor…!Posted in Uncategorized on 26 November 2013
What Toy Companies Can Learn From The X Factor…!
This weekend just gone, the smash hit TV show The X Factor celebrated it's 10 year anniversary.
It's also likely to celebrate it's umpteenth UK Christmas No. 1 when the eventual winner releases their single.
Which is all very nice, but actually there is a really important point of learning in that for Toy companies…
…integrating marketing messages into media content is a highly effective sales driver.
The X Factor hugely empowers the public to vote en masse for and pick their favoured mass appeal pop stars. So in a sense The X Factor is a champion for consumer choice!
It's also though fantastic artist launch testing and integrated marketing for those involved in the music business side of the output of the show. There's a reason why Simon Cowell is always smiling!
It isn't just the music industry though that has taken this alternative and highly effective approach to engaging a media audience to promote a product. This weekend I read Mark Burnett's book – if you haven't heard of him, he created the hit reality TV shows 'Survivor', 'The Apprentice', 'The Contender' and others. he entered the TV world almost accidentally, as he was setting up a massive scale eco/endurance challenge, and needed financial backing which he partially found via TV companies. Where he really got his business model to fly though was when he integrated advertising messages directly into the programming to prove his programming would return for the TV networks and himself.
The point of all this comparison with other industries is that most Toy companies could do an awful lot more to follow this approach. Now don't get me wrong – there are significant regulatory and ethical hurdles to consider and overcome, because we are selling to children, but in the end, there is always an ethical way of getting things done.
Two examples from our industry – a massively capable colleague of mine once negotiated for a difficult puzzle product to be placed into a famous TV reality show as part of a challenge/exercise. Total media value c. $300,000. Total cost – a standard licensee royalty %, no advance, nothing paid until success was achieved.
The other example I would use is a major Games company which placed giant versions of their games into a kids physical challenge TV show, and saw massive sales uplift…not surprising when the show effectively demonstrated the products to the target audience while keeping them highly entertained.
These are just 2 examples from my own experience, but there are many more out there.
The challenge is that many companies and marketing teams become lazy, and get caught in the TV advertising addiction i.e. let's just place it on TV. This is fine as an overall strategy, but sometimes to achieve exceptional results we need to take exceptional steps. It's hard work negotiating an integrated media campaign. It takes more work and effort to make it work sometimes also, but as the X Factor proves – it can really, really work in commercial terms…
So, how can you implement this in your business…?

This is the black and white version of a recent colour image.
Fantastic use of B/W.. great portrait ..
cheers Raymondo for your kind comment
– Matt Sillence
Wonderful, wonderful face, love the BW version!
many thanks Eeva, how you liking this new layout on RB? hard to find the new work area though…
– Matt Sillence
I do prefer the old layout and I am really dissappointed that we don't have any control over our art pages, how they are displayed. I miss the page numbers in peoples art pages, now we have only next and previous buttons to click. I hope they will look into this as few people are unhappy with the way their art pages are displayed. Cheers…
yes and me.. also they should have included somewhere that we could see what images were in what groups by a click so we could refresh our additions into groups.. we at the moment have to trawl through our images one by one and take them out of a group manually.. very time consuming.. I think this new layout is only geared towards RB selling art not a community site anymore…
– Matt Sillence
An amazing character portrait!
oh thank u so much for the feature Wendi
– Matt Sillence
Congratulations on your beautiful and well deserved feature in "People and Portraiture Photography". Well done!
many thanks Norm for your comment re feature cheers

In his first book since 1999, it's just like old times as Vonnegut (now 82) makes with the deeply black humor in this collection of articles written over the last five years, many from the alternative magazine In These Times. But the pessimistic wisecracks may be wearing thin; the conversational tone of the pieces is like Garrison Keillor with a savage undercurrent. Still, the schtick works fine most of the time, underscored by hand-lettered aphorisms between chapters.

"Impeccable! Beautiful location, comfortable accommodation and great fun"
Chez Corney's location is terrific - quiet, relaxing and picturesque, but not too far from the amenities of Rochechouart (several good bakeries/patisseries, a grocery/butcher, some banks/cash points, a small supermarket and a number of decent eateries). It's also only a fairly short car journey from St Junien, where there is wide range range of services and shops - including several large and very well stocked supermarkets (Hyper U being the most comprehensive). The cottage is lovely - comfortable and clean, and the first floor terrace is the perfect place for a leisurely lunch or to watch the sun go down over a glass of wine or two. The kids loved the pool, which was clean and well equipped with plenty of sun loungers, parasols, boogie boards etc etc. In fact, trying to persuade them to leave the cottage to do some sightseeing was tricky. Sue, the owner, was really helpful (and prompt) in responding to questions before our arrival, and Kate, who manages the property locally, was a real star - very helpful and knowledgeable, and really went the extra mile to make sure we had a fantastic stay. If you're looking for a relaxing break, or one which is well-placed for exploring a very interesting part of France, in lovely surroundings, with the reassurance of a friendly and professional contact locally, Chez Corney is difficult to beat.
Thank you for the great review. Our aim is to provide you with excellent service; We are thrilled you had a fantastic holiday and really enjoyed Chez Corney.
Maybe we can welcome you back again, and we can give you a discount as returning guests.

"Perfect place to have a time of relaxation"
We went with our children to Chez Corney and enjoyed our stay. We were welcomed very nicely by the local contact person. The accommodation was clean and as expected after seeing the pictures. On the sunny days we enjoyed the swimming pool, which was located in a private spot and has a little cabin close to it with some toys and more.
We are pleased you had an enjoyable holiday - Thank you for your review. The swimming pool is definately a favourite of guests who stay with us.

"extremely well managed"
The property was immaculately clean and we received a lovely welcome from the property manager. Super private pool which was not overlooked at all. A choice of al fresco eating areas - especially loved the balcony in the evening. Be aware that you walk through the large bedroom to get to the other so privacy is limited but this was not a problem for use travelling with our children, might not suit 2 couples. Lots to see and do in the area and the house was also extremely well equipped with games too.
Glad you had a great holiday - Thank you for the lovely review

"Terrific break in peaceful villa"
My husband and I stayed at Chez Corney for 4 days in early June. The weather was fantastic and all the facilities provided made for a relaxing and stress-free break. We hired a car and visited Rochechouart, Limoges and Oradour-sur-Glane, the village abandoned after its destruction at the end of WW2 which was fascinating, if rather sobering.Very good restaurants are within a short car journey but it was great just to stock up on gorgeous food and wine in the local shops and enjoy eating in the sun.
The villa was really clean and well equipped, both inside and out, and the location is tranquil and attractive. We would definitely visit again.
Thankyou for your review. We are pleased you had a great holiday.

The Incredible Life of Psychic Healer Lew Smith
in Spirituality
The Outer Limits Of Inner Truth proudly presents and in depth interview Phillip Smith about his Father, Lew Smith – a psychic healer who helped thousands of individuals. Smith is author of the Bestseller "Walking Though Walls" – a book we thoroughly enjoyed even more that a NY slice of pizza or five minutes of silence in marriage. Philip Smith is an artist with works in the permanent collection of the Whitney, Boston Museum of Fine Art, Dallas Museum of Art, Perez Art Museum among others.
The interview with Mr. Smith was one of our favorites and the Virtues do a forensic soul analysis on both Phillip and his Father Lew.
Running with Scissors meets Bewitched in this irresistible memoir, as Philip Smith describes growing up in 1960s Miami with his decorator father, who one day discovers he has the miraculous power to talk to the dead and heal the sick.
After a full day of creating beautiful interiors for the rich and famous, Lew Smith would come home, take off his tie, and get down to his real work as a psychic healer who miraculously cured thousands of people. For his son, Philip, watching his father transform himself, at a moment's notice, from gracious society decorator into a healer with supernatural powers was a bit like living with Clark Kent and Superman.
Walking Through Walls is Philip Smith's astonishing memoir of growing up in a household where séances, talking spirits, and exorcisms were daily occurrences, and inexplicable psychic healings resulted in visitors suddenly discarding their crutches and wheelchairs or being cured of fatal diseases.

Scissor Sisters singer Ana Matronic was once left red-faced onstage when an ill-fitting costume and an energetic dance routine left her chest exposed for all to see. The rocker insists she now after making a boob of herself at the start of her career by inadvertently flashing the audience.
She tells Britain's InStyle magazine, "Usually, my costumes are pretty well built, but I was jumping up and down on stage once and a breast fell out of a bustier. Thank God I saw it in time and nobody caught it on camera. I never wore it again."
In another news, Scissor Sisters reportedly have been billed to open for Lady GaGa tour next year. Also, the duo is reported to have approached the dance queen and pursue her for a duet.

Chromatic aberration is a fancy word that relates to a frustrating image cleanup challenge for our images. Specifically, chromatic aberration is really just an issue where certain wavelengths of light are not in focus. Think of it as a certain color of light being out of focus relative to the rest of the image. The result is a haloing of a particular color. Oftentimes magenta, but it can be represented in a variety of colors. You'll generally find chromatic aberration is most prevalent with inexpensive lenses. But also, sometimes with very expensive lenses, especially wider angle lenses, which are bending the light significantly.
Fortunately, chromatic aberration is relatively easy to fix. In fact, if you're capturing in RAW, you can use your RAW Conversion Software. For example, Adobe Camera RAW to adjust for chromatic aberration. But if you didn't correct the chromatic aberration in the RAW Conversion, perhaps, you didn't notice it at that time, you can still fix it in Photoshop with a relatively easy process. This is a destructive process, even though, obviously it's aimed at fixing something about the image, it is altering the overall appearance of the photo. And so, I prefer to work on a copy of the background image layer, so I'll drag the thumbnail for my Background Image layer down to the create new layer button at the bottom of the Layers panel.
That will create a background copy. I'm going to double-click on the name for that layer, and I'm going to call this CA correction for chromatic aberration correction, just so that I know why that layer is actually there. I'll then choose Filter > Lens Correction from the menu which will bring up the Lens Correction dialog. I don't need the Grid display, so I'll go ahead and turn off the Show Grid option. And then I'll zoom in on the image that I can see an area that exhibits chromatic aberration. You can use the Automatic Adjustment for chromatic aberration, which will apply automatic adjustment based on the specific lens that was used to capture the image. But generally speaking, I find that I need to use the Custom setting, so I'll leave chromatic aberration turned off on the Auto-correction tab and switch to the Custom tab.
Here, you'll see that we have sliders for red cyan, green, magenta, and blue yellow. In some cases, it might be a little bit difficult to figure out exactly which color is at play, and so you can adjust all of these sliders in order to look for the best adjustment possible. And I suggest that you move these sliders through their extremes to get a better sense of the correction in the image. You can see here, for example, the adjustment is obviously causing more of a problem and sliding the red cyan slider to the left creates an improvement. I can then start slowing down the adjustment until I get to the point where I think I've produced a maximum correction.
I think there's still a little it of blue yellow, so I'll switch to the blue yellow slider and I'll once again move the slider back and forth. Over to the left, we can see more of a problem, and over to the right, we see an improvement. And I think right about there, I might take a look at my green magenta. And it looks like, sure enough, there is just a tiny bit of an adjustment needed there. So it's somewhere around there, and you can certainly continue to fine-tune all of the sliders, attempting to minimize or hopefully eliminate all of that color fringing throughout the image. Once you're happy with the result, you can go ahead and click the OK button. And as you can see in the image here, we've done a good job of minimizing that chromatic aberration.
I'll go ahead and turn off my CA Correction layer, and then turn it back on, and you can see, we have a significant improvement to that color fringing in the photo.

Walk time is upon us again this year and fast approaching on Sunday October 20th, 2013. This will be our 7th year walking as my oldest daughter - Emily was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes in June of 2006.
Since this time, all of us in our family has learned so much information about diabetes such as counting carbs with each meal, how to administer a shot of insulin, what a bolus is, or how to put on a site or start a new sensor, along with many other things. Emily has done quite well living with her disease and continues to get more self sufficient with her care each day. We are all so proud of her. Sometimes I don't know how she does it with all those needles- she is very brave.
There is some good news, though. JDRF is our best hope for finding a cure. It funds more type 1 diabetes research than any other charity worldwide and it's making progress along many promising paths toward better treatments and a cure.Now, more than ever, you can make a crucial difference. Won't you please give to JDRF as generously as possible? Together, we can make the cure a reality!

PAWS Humane Society Happenings
From October 2009 newsletteer
Jester, Jax and Starr are kittens that came from a farm in Davis Junction. There were many kittens and cats there, several which were killed by coyotes. The owners of the farm agreed to give the kittens to PAWS so that the kittens could have a chance at life. Unfortunately for Jester, an orange marbled and white 10-week-old boy, his eye was badly damaged when he came to us. He was approved to be taken in by PAWS despite the possible expense of having his eye taken care of. It was a great decision because this kitten had a loving, happy and silly personality that was the very essence of happiness. Jester had surgery July 9 to remove what was left of the eye and suture it closed. Even after surgery, he purred anytime someone talked to him or held him. Jester looked awful after surgery but kept a great attitude through the pain and IV.
Later that night, PAWS received a phone call from Denise at Hillcrest. PAWS thought the worst, that Jester had somehow died. Instead, Denise told PAWS that
she had to have my kitten.
She had been holding him all night while Jester purred with his IV in, and Denise had fallen in love with him! Recently, Denise's own one-eyed cat had died. What a great ending to a story, uniting a kitten with an owner who could love him as he was, and an owner with a kitten that really needed her.
By choosing to invest the money for this surgery, PAWS was able to find a difficult-to-adopt kitten a home that was meant to be, with an owner who was meant to find Jester. This is what PAWS is supposed to be about—giving animals in tough circumstances a chance to live a happy and healthy life. PAWS is not about saving money for
It's about compassion and doing what's right. Some may have put an end to little Jester's life just because he had one eye and would require an expensive surgery.
Thanks to Hillcrest and Denise, the surgery that was going to be at half the usual price was totally waived. So, not only did Hillcrest perform the surgery for free, but they found Jester a home. A happy ending.
Pennies For Pooches
The PFP program is a fun way for kids to help raise money for local animals in need. It gives them a feeling of helping their community. PAWS has many empty water bottles that the kids can decorate and place in their classroom to donate all their loose change; some even have challenges as which class can raise the most.
Monies raised help with medical needs with some of PAWS's adoptable animals, such as
who went to them with a broken leg, doctors fixed it, pennies raised from the kids helped pay for it, and he was adopted!
It may only be a
to you, but to an animal, it may mean the world!
Keep saving those pennies!
If you are interested in PAWS's PFP program, call PAWS at 815-749-1400 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
Moving tips—settling into a new home with your pet
New situations can be stressful for your pet. Some pets adjust almost instantly, while others may require a little time. Be patient, encouraging, and positive about your new home to help your pet adjust more quickly.
Try to keep a familiar routine. Use the same bowls, feed the same food at the same time, place litter boxes in similar locations, and so on. Make things seem
Research local regulations. Where do you get a dog license, and how much are they? Are cats required to be licensed? Are dogs allowed to be off-leash in certain areas, and if so, where?
Keep in mind that some cities or towns have bylaws stating how many pets a person is permitted to have in their home. If you have a lot of pets, make sure you find out before you move what these regulations are.
Find out where the local
doggy hangouts
are. Walking trails or parks, off-leash areas, and so on.
If you haven't already done so, teach your kitty to be an indoor cat. Cats lead longer, happy lives indoors where they don't have to worry about getting hit by cars, attacked by other animals or people, catching a disease and many other threats. Give kitty lots of stimulation indoors with the use of toys, window perches, cat condos/trees, etc.
Scout out a vet. Find one that both you and your pet are comfortable with, and make sure you know the way to the clinic. If your chosen clinic is not an emergency clinic, it's also a good idea to find a 24-hour clinic—just in case.
Assess the
of your new home. You may have set up your previous home in such a way that your pet couldn't get at stuff like cleaners or poisonous plants. Take a walk around your new home and watch where your pet investigates. Make sure you store dangerous items out of his reach.
Keep all your pet's documentation together and easily accessible. A folder with vaccination records, spay/neuter certificate, and other important papers should be kept together for future reference. Your new vet may ask to see them.
Set up an evacuation plan. Sometimes we have no choice but to evacuate from our homes. Do not leave your pets behind! Have a plan to get both them and yourself out safely. Keep a list of nearby pet-friendly accommodations handy.

Hamas Doubts Wisdom of Recent War with Israel
Israeli Defense Minister: Two-State Solution Impossible
Israel Removes Spying Devices from Jordan
JERUSALEM—Forty-five years after Israeli commandos planted listening devices on Jordanian territory in order to monitor military movements, Israeli experts crossed back into Jordan this week at the invitation of the Jordanian government to uproot the devices and neutralize the explosives attached to them.
Israel Concerned About Palestinian Uprising as Ceasefire Continues in Gaza
Hamas Calls for More Abductions
JERUSALEM—Barely a month after the end of a bloody confrontation with Israel in Gaza, which was touched off by the kidnapping of three Israeli youths, Hamas officials this week called for further abductions in order to leverage prisoner exchanges with Israel.
The officials said they were seeking to repeat the successful abduction of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit in 2006, which led five years later to the release by Israel of 1,027 prisoners.
IDF Intelligence Unit: Prisoner Interrogation Saved Many Israeli Lives
JERUSALEM—For two weeks, they slept on makeshift beds in Gaza's tunnels, living on water and dates, waiting for the order to ascend to the surface and attack advancing Israeli forces from the rear. They had been trained to wait like that for as long as a month and a half, if necessary.
This testimony from a Hamas fighter captured by Israeli troops during last month's fighting in Gaza was described in a rare interview on YNet with soldiers from an Israeli field intelligence unit who served in the Gaza war.

In the past 30 years, the portion of the population that is obese has risen from 15 percent to 33 percent. Now the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention predicts that more than 42 percent of people will be obese by 2030 – not just overweight, but clinically obese, with a body mass index of more than 30. (A healthy BMI for men is around 19 or 20.) And scientists can only speculate about the percentage of people who will be overweight.
This new statistic, while frightening, isn't a surprise to obesity experts who have watched and forecasted America's growing levels of fatness for decades. And now experts are scrambling to understand why. Most blame the epidemic on a variety of factors that can include everything from more chemicals in personal-care products, furniture, and food to the lack of sidewalks on city streets and a proliferation of elevators in buildings. Among many leading authorities, a contentious debate exists over whether it's the calories or the carbs in food that cause people, including those who work out every day, to pack on the pounds. Here, we examine five different perspectives from some of the country's leading obesity experts.Launch Gallery » – Joseph Hooper
