Brunch is 'magnifique' at French Bulldog in Camarillo
You don't have to speak French to order or enjoy the food at The French Bulldog in Old Town Camarillo, but you might be tempted to exclaim "mais oui!" if not "magnifique."
We concentrated on the bistro's Sunday brunch during our two visits, reasonably confident that anything chef Gael Lecolley had a hand in was likely to be well-made and deliciously Gallic. He and his wife, Cathryn, are co-owners of the newly refurbished and redirected restaurant.
On our first stop at the former JJ Brewsky's, the dining space still looked like Brewsky's, with sturdy dark wood paneling and booths plus a long bar running down one side of the spacious room. On our second, the Sunday before Easter, a mini-transformation had taken place, with a pale blue-gray curtain hanging from high ceiling to floor between the bar and the room. Little additions like a silhouetted gray bulldog image, or the invitation to "Come. Sit. Stay," familiar pooch commands converted to suggestions, signal a lighthearted approach to the theme. A small room open to the main room, but framed by drapes, is on a slightly raised platform and is handsomely decorated. Plans are to serve a communal dinner there on Thursday nights.
On both occasions we were served by young, enthusiastic staff members who were pleasant and accommodating. And both times a relaxed Lecolley made his way out of the kitchen long enough to chat with customers as they dined and to tout plans for the future. He noted the title Farm Fresh Brunch and mentioned that specific items on the menu would change according to what was available at seasonal markets.
For the reasonable price of $19.95 our first brunch included an entree choice from the menu, a small buffet with scrambled eggs, sausage, mini sweet rolls, orange juice, coffee and Champagne. Lovely warm, light beignets were brought to our table. It was an overabundance of food, albeit very good food. The second time, for the same price, we were served entirely at the table, with beignets and mini muffins arriving in a basket and beverages all served at the table. We didn't miss the previous eggs, sausage and roll "appetizer" because the main dishes are rich and satisfying.
I first experienced the culinary work of Lecolley, a French chef whose deft touch has been employed at various restaurants around Ventura County, some years ago in a cafe in downtown Ojai, where quinoa was served with an entree, a first for me in Ventura County. Now, of course, it's not unusual to find the handy little grain accompanying good food. But it was enough to rouse my interest every time I heard Lecolley was involved with a dining spot. The last time we crossed paths was at a wine bar, also in Camarillo, where the cooking conditions were limited but the good food kept coming nonetheless.
Naturally, I had to check out what he was doing this time, and even though we sampled only the brunch, our assumptions were not in vain. I couldn't resist ordering the lobster eggs Benedict on each visit. It's delicate and delicious, and even when served on a small English muffin, the lobster flavor and bits are unmistakable and the hollandaise sauce addictive. On our second visit we added the seafood omelet, a bountiful blend of shrimp, scallops and sea bass folded into the tender egg mixture and topped with lobster sauce. All entrees are served with roasted rosemary red potatoes, and while I'm not a fan of breakfast potatoes, these were too tempting to pass, with their artfully herbed flavor.
We went for obvious winners, but the range of good brunch options includes several crepes, more omelets and a traditional Benedict, quiche Lorraine, and blueberry pancakes made with fresh berries and served with "old-fashioned maple syrup" and "homemade whipped creme topping."
The French Bulldog's lunch and dinner menus also look tempting, with enough French flourishes to entice Francophiles and, of course, Lecolley-philes.

An upgraded tank and a million other upgrades to celebrate the alpha release of everyone's favourite infantry simulator.
By Alex Walker on March 7, 2014 at 7:25 am
Anniversary of what, I hear you say. The game was only fully released in September last year, after all. And you, dear reader, would be right in that astute observation. But this is an anniversary to celebrate the Alpha release of ArmA 3.
Now that you've got a four-foot wide frown on your face, let's just enjoy the new toys Bohemia wants to throw at us. Outlined in the patch notes for ArmA 3 1.12 is the M2A4 Slammer, or at least an upgraded model that sports a remote-controlled turret, a reinforced back-end and better armour throughout.
Of course, the tank is just one of many, many, many changes to the game. I'm not going to post the full changelog below – it's simply too big, but needless to say, there are a lot of fixes. Do yourself a favour and read them on the ArmA 3 blog instead, why don't you?

Please Donate Your Extra Seeds to WinterSown.Org
Many Winter Sowers and gardeners would like to share their seeds with WinterSown.Org so that the seeds can be distributed to individuals through our Seeds for SASE programs or sent in bulk to worthy organizations or persons in need. The FAQs on this page will assist you in sharing your seeds.
What type of organization is WinterSown.Org?
WinterSown Educational is a 501c3 non-profit organization registered in New York State and maintains a presence on the web with WinterSown.Org.
What types of seeds can I send?
Flowers, bushes, trees, vines, ornamental grasses, fruits, tomatoes, vegetables and herbs are all welcome and needed. Seed packages must be labeled. No invasive species please.
I found some very old seed packs in a drawer, can I donate them?
Older seeds have reduced germination rates. We ask that you please do not donate seeds more than three years old.
I don't know if my plants are invasive. What are invasive species?
Invasive species are harmful non-native species, and a serious and costly national problem, often with personal impact.
Is there a website with reliable information where I can learn more?
Yes. Please visit:
Do the seeds I donate need to be hand collected?
No. You may donate hand-collected seeds and/or packaged seeds sold in stores and catalogues.
I don't always sow a full pack of seeds, may I donate seed packs I've already opened and taken some seeds from?
Yes. These are always welcome and are oftentimes shared with youth or adult education classes and/or sent bundled with other packs to large groups and clubs.

Kenny Britt was back home in Bayonne, N.J., on Monday afternoon, his introduction to Nashville, Tenn., and to the Tennessee Titans complete. It was hard to tell who impressed the other most — Britt or the Titans.
"Oh, yeah, it was definitely a good start," said Britt about his two-day rookie camp last weekend where he flew high for passes and showed the Titans just what they grabbed with the 30th pick of the draft. "I've got to get used to the playbook and get to know my teammates, and I feel that will come. I met a lot of great people."
And they, in turn, met a confident, talented, personable receiver.
Britt wore No. 88 at Rutgers. Not available at his new home, so, he settled for No. 18.
His thinking?
"The number doesn't make the player — the player makes the number," he said.
This is a player whose number the Titans plan on calling. A lot. He has already been described by Tennessee coach Jeff Fisher as "the player who has been missing in our passing game."
That says a lot.
Consider that the Titans have only used a first-round pick on a receiver three times in franchise history. Consider that the last one was Kevin Dyson in 1998. Dyson would figure in two of the most significant plays in franchise history: He scored on the Music City Miracle lateral in that 2000 playoff victory over Buffalo, then soon afterward fell inches shy of scoring on a potential game-tying pass on the last play in Tennessee's Super Bowl XXXIV loss to St. Louis.
Britt seems capable of making that kind of impact.
He seems destined to be a player that makes things happen for the Titans offense.
Maybe it is the size (6-foot-3, 218 pounds). Or the background (14 100-yard receiving games at Rutgers with what NFL scouts call so-so quarterbacks). Or his noticeable physical, competitive nature at the position.
An NFL personnel executive from an AFC team said about Britt: "You are talking about a lot of ability there, a lot of size, he runs well, quick off the ball, good upside. Physically impressive. We didn't think his hands were so great."
The Giants did not believe Britt was as good as North Carolina receiver Hakeem Nicks. That is why Nicks was drafted by the Giants one spot before the Titans took Britt.
"I thought about that," Britt said. "It would have been something to keep the Jersey thing going. But I do believe things happen for a reason. I've got a great chance in Tennessee."
He has a chance to help the Titans offense produce more passing yards and more points. Tennessee was a 13-3 team in 2008 that lost in the playoffs at home to Baltimore. The Titans averaged only 176.2 passing yards per game, which ranked 27th in the NFL last season. The Titans ranked 14th in scoring offense during the regular season. In the postseason, the Titans ranked 11th among the 12 teams, scoring just 10 points in that divisional playoff loss to the Ravens.
As good as their defense has long been, the Titans have made recent moves to become more athletic and explosive on offense. That is what selecting speed back Chris Johnson in the first round of last year's draft was about. It is what snatching receiver Nate Washington from Pittsburgh this offseason was about. It is why they drafted one of the fastest and strongest tight ends in this draft, Jared Cook, who showed in drills over the weekend that he has even better hands than advertised.
And it is definitely what Britt's addition is all about.
"He picked things up quickly," Fisher said of Britt. "He showed he is an accomplished route runner. Very competitive. Happy to be there. He's got the chance to play sooner rather than later. I know in our OTA today (Monday), our quarterbacks were showed a couple of catches that Kenny made in the rookie camp — needless to say, they were excited.
"We're still going to hand the ball off. We've got a pretty special offensive line. But we're always trying to improve our weapons. When it's time to create some one-on-ones and pick up and go, we're better equipped."

Comments about Yakima Yakima Q82 Clips (8000682):
The product is simple. It's easy to use, to switch out with other clips. It also comes with new rubber bases for Yakima towers, which is nice.
The drawback is the the fact that they are sold in pairs--why not in 4-packs? And that if you change cars, you have to buy a whole new set of clips (though thankfully not a whole new rack. Still, it adds up!)
It would be great if Yakima instituted a program for trading in old clips--I'll never use my old clips again. Such a program would save Yakima money on making the clips, save us money on buying them, and would be better for the environment.
But that's my only complaint!

It appears to be some type of underwater ruins or the remains of a construction at Bikar Atoll, which is part of the Marshall Islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.Bikar Atoll is only about 9 miles long and 5 miles wide and according to Wikipedia is uninhabited and totally pristine. There have been a couple of shipwrecks there and the little island was covered with radioactive fallout following the Castle Bravo nuclear test conducted in 1954 but as far as I can tell there has never been any type of construction or habitation there.I notice that the mysterious construction appears in the shadow of a cloud...could somebody have tampered with the image somehow and added it in? Could it be some top secret military installation or something?Any ideas what this might be?

Burglars Suing Homeowners: Just Who is the Victim?
You'd think that a burglar suffering an injury from an understandably irate homeowner would be an occupational hazard, yet some burglars are suing for their injuries – and in certain cases winning! Confused.com looked at what rights you have when defending your property, and how home insurance can help in the event of a break-in.
'Reasonable force' allowed – but what is 'reasonable'?
According to the law, if a burglar enters your home, you are within your rights to defend yourself and your property using 'reasonable' force. What is deemed 'reasonable' however depends on the circumstances.
Defending yourself using ordinary household items, such as golf clubs or cricket bats, is considered acceptable whilst the burglar is on your property. If you strongly believe the burglar to be armed with a lethal weapon, such as a knife, arming yourself with an equivalent weapon is also satisfactory.
NOTE: The court will only grant permission for the criminal to sue the homeowner if grossly excessive action was taken, or if the homeowner had not been acting to defend themselves, their family or property from the trespasser.
'Retaliation' not allowed
Once the burglar has left your property, the immediate threat is over, so an attack against the intruder after this point is considered unlawful.
In 2002, Barry Hastings was sentenced to five years imprisonment under these circumstances, for stabbing a burglar who had already left his property. As any potential danger to Hastings or his property was past, the judge deemed his behaviour to be an act of 'retaliation'.
It's also possible for homeowners to be sued for damages under the Occupier's Liability Act 1984 if a burglar is injured whilst on their property. In 2002, Brian Fearon tried to sue farmer Tony Martin (who was imprisoned for killing Fearon's accomplice) for damages after his leg was injured whilst leading a break-in at Martin's home in August 1999. Fearon was granted public funds to sue Martin on the grounds his injured leg had prevented him from working.
NOTE: The law is on your side – not the burglar's. In 2003, the government changed laws relating to burglary, so that a burglar who is injured by a householder whilst committing an imprisonable offence cannot sue for compensation without permission by a court.
How can building and contents insurance help?
Home cover can help in two ways:
NOTE: Always read your home insurance documents policy carefully so you know exactly what you are covered for in the event of a burglary.
And finally, for some really useful info, read our top tips on burglar-proofing your home.

My Blackberry Idea
For a while now, my love for smartphones has been quite pronounced. However, after spending a weekend with various BlackBerry devices (keeping myself out of the "BlackBerries" vs. "BlackBerrys" debate for now), I have realized just how useful and thoughtful those smartphones are. So I came up with an idea which could potentially (but doesn't really) get me a BlackBerry and only spend pocket money on the device itself.
To put things in to perspective, my current cell phone is serviced by Boost Mobile's pay-as-you-go plan, which is just about the most I can afford. Keeping that in mind, it would be outrageously expensive and almost impossible for me to have my own voice plan from Sprint and have the BIS (BlackBerry Internet Service, which includes email and, depending on the price level, unlimited Web access), for two simple reasons:
- I am not of age to sign contracts (my age < 18)
- I don't have a consistent source of income (the largest sum of money I ever made was from a summer job)
- I don't have access to nearly enough money (it's all in the bank, in my savings account nonetheless – and I don't even have a checking account yet!)
Aside: Please don't leave comments saying that when I grow up I'll be able to enjoy this stuff. I get enough of those speeches at home from my parents.
Continuing, as I humored about earlier, my uncle got a BlackBerry 8300 World Edition from Sprint a short while ago. Realizing that I can't afford to pay for my own voice plan from Sprint (or sign the necessary contract yet), I figured I could do what my uncle did for his BlackBerry: Buy my own BlackBerry device, and add another line and another BIS account to their family plan. In total, the deal would cost me about $50 a month, plus taxes and fees, which comes out at slightly more than $600 a year (more than a third of my earnings from last summer, which I plan on spending on something – I'd like it to be service for a BlackBerry). And I'd probably be keeping my Boost Mobile phone, still paying my $20 plus sales tax (no other taxes or fees though, since it's prepaid service) every 90 days.
Now as any person would expect, my dad says that this would be too much of an investment, with very little ROI. He also said that I shouldn't go digging into my savings account, which is my money for life. Being an irrational teenager, and one from a modern era at that, I highly disagree. But when it comes to money, I almost never get my way.
Getting a BlackBerry is a nice, but unfortunately, expensive idea. I really don't have a business justification for it. But who said being cool (and connected) wasn't going to cost me? For now, a smartphone is just a figment of my imagination, but I sure hope it doesn't stay that way for long.

He has no other symptoms he's playing fine could it still just be irritating his skin?

I had a friend allergic to cinnamon. It's possible he's allergic.

It's pretty common, happens a lot and isn't that big of a deal if it's just skin irritation. Watch his poops, he'll likely rash easily, but if it doesn't seem to bother him otherwise, there's no reason he can't have it.

The content of the Bible is exactly the stuff of which graphic novels are made: tales of origins and cosmic powers, battles between good and evil, and dramatic narratives of heroism and treachery. The Lion Graphic Bible captures all this in a stunning work of artistic genius. It is the work of former Judge Dredd/2000AD artist Jeff Anderson and DC Comics writer Mike Maddox. They have spent five years planning, writing, and illustrating this stunning graphic adaptation. Everything from the creation to the day of judgment is depicted, creating a new rendering of the Bible in a class of its own. Not recommended for children under the age of 12.

The release Friday of national reports on child sexual abuse in the Catholic Church could serve as an alert to some Nebraska members of the church.
So says University of Nebraska-Lincoln sociology professor Hugh Whitt.
Whitt says Nebraskans in general seem to think such abuse may happen in the rest of the country, but not here.
He says the national attention on the report, which includes claims of abuse in Nebraska, could change their minds.
Last week, the Omaha Archdiocese released its contributions to the national report. It showed the archdiocese had 33 credible allegations of sexual abuse against priests and a deacon from 1950 through 2002.

"Charity suffereth long, and is kind, charity envieth not, charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up." (I Cor. 13:4)
Have you ever noticed how we humans tend to get stuck on our own
viewpoint, our own perception of a happening, and come to some conclusion
about the happening, so sure we are right? Later, we may learn there
were other factors involved, and that we were not correct at all. The truth
was somewhat different.
Well, why are other viewpoints important anyway? A frozen misunderstanding is something that can hamper or even totally destroy relationships between family, friends, and co-workers for years if not talked about by each person really listening to the other and giving real credibility to what the other is saying. Of course, each person in such a conversation needs to be kind and honest, and not manipulatory or "mud-slinging." Moreover, each person needs to respect the fact that something is really bothering the other person, and be considerate enough to be willing to talk about it in the first place. Even if talking about a discord is uncomfortable for both parties at first, it should be done. Even if the parties end up disagreeing in the end, at least they know their viewpoints and feelings have been listened to and respected. Real resolution can break down "walls" between people and allow them to be closer than ever.
We all have feelings, and if hurtful happenings are allowed to remain in people's memories unresolved, they can lead to long-term hurt, discord, and alienation.. If someone has hurt us, even if we forgive, that doesn't mean we will trust them again, because our perception of what kind of a person he or she is changed somewhat. Maybe the other person's perception of us has changed to the negative, too.
It is impossible to have quality, close interpersonal relationships of harmony and real connectedness without "give and take." I remember my son, who works my acreage with me, saying "You are being mean to me." I said, "No, I'm not." He said, "Yes, you are." I finally figured it out that when he wouldn't do a job well, or didn't do what I asked, I would respond to him in an irritated manner, with a scowl and harsh voice. I changed all that to reminding him with kind face and soft voice. The result was that he does things so well now I have no cause to be irritated anyway. We have harmony instead of repeated discord. Harmony allows good feelings and warmth to flourish I had to understand him and to change myself to make it happen.
Keying into the viewpoint of our animals is extremely important, too. I know that Shauna, year old puppy, has chewed up a lot of things because she's teething, and because she has separation anxiety when I'm gone for awhile. I know that usually marvelous cat Sparkles suddenly attacks and bites me sometimes in that I've read that 20% of cats do that, reason unknown. We need to take their point of view, too, and not just think they are being "mean and awful."
We have to be humble to take seriously someone else's point of view, be they human or animal.
We need to really respect their intelligence and full personhood. When we really respect someone, we send the message we care about them, love them, and value them. But when we won't listen, we send the message we don't care about them or love them. Even though they may not consciously think about it, the impact on them is that they believe they are of little or no value to us, or of little or no value period!
This message has been hard for me to write. I hope God has given me the words to adequately describe to you this important area of living together. Perhaps few people ever think about it, but the need is so great to really connect and communicate with one another for the sake of Christ, for the sake of our world, and for the sake of one another and our animals. The truth really can set us free!!

Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations, TDLR information for AADT clients
(TDLR) Texas Department of Licensing and Regulations
AADT Enrollmant Application Below
Tow Trucks, Operators and
Vehicle Storage Facilities
Reporting Abandoned Nuisance Vehicles
Have you been towed and need to search for rate information or other data?
Towing companies are required to post their non-consent Tow Fee Schedule with TDLR and it is available online.
Search for the company and rate information using TDLR's TOOLS Data Search for Tow Companies and Vehicle Storage Facilities.
Statewide Maximum Charges for Private property towing went into effect on September 1, 2010 –
The 2009 Legislature passed HB2571 to amend the Towing and Booting Act. The bill requires TDLR's Commission to adopt rules to establish the maximum amount that may be charged for private property tows in Texas. The bill also requires the Commission to specify the type and amount of any fee that may be charged in connection with a private property tow, other than the tow fee. After months of review and input from the public and industry, the Towing and Booting Advisory Board made recommendations to TDLR's Commission. On August 9, 2010, the Texas Commission of Licensing and Regulation established the statewide maximum amounts for private property tows and specified that a drop fee may also be charged. The private property statewide maximum tow charges went into effect on September 1, 2010. A tow company performing private property tows may not charge more than the private property statewide maximum tow amounts on or after that date.
Please review these Frequently Asked Questions for further information.
All tow truck operators must be licensed.
There are three different types of tow operator licenses: the Incident Management Tow Operator License, the Private Property Tow Operator License, and The Consent Tow Operator License. Tow truck operators need to choose only one designation. The Incident Management License allows a driver to perform incident management towing, private property towing and consent towing. The Private Property License allows private property towing and consent towing. The Consent Towing License only authorizes consent towing.

Cinco de Mayo isn't a big deal here in Canada. But I like to honour it anyways – we'll be digging in to guacamole and fish tacos. Yum.
- #2
I bet I've like this "caviar" better than the real stuff! :)
- #3
Love this stuff! Now I'm definitely making it this weekend–I think I'll add it to a chicken enchilada recipe I saw in Country Living. Getting hungry just thinking about it!
- #4
We had something like this at a very fancy restaurant in LV and I've been trying to re-create it…..thanks for the help.
Happy Day
- #5
Yum, yum, yum!! I love Cinco de Mayo! I've seen this recipe mentioned different places, but I've never had the actual recipe–thank you for sharing it. Aren't Bush's beans just the best? Readily available almost anywhere and always good quality. I love high-quality canned goods. It makes me happy to see them stacked in my pantry. :)
Thank you so very, very much for the KitchenAid giveaway. I am pinching myself–I can't BELIEVE I won! When I entered, I thought, "Well, someone has to win, right?" But I really didn't think it would be me. I'm so happy!!
- #6
My husband makes a variation of this and everybody loves it! Sometimes, he will roast corn on cob out on the grill and use that instead of canned corn – gives it a wonderful flavor. Now you've gone and made me hungry for some! Since we are going to friends' house on Saturday evening, maybe we need to get in there and whip up a batch of this to take with us!
- #7
I love this stuff! I've made it a ton of times before but never cooked the sauce. I'll have to try cooking it this weekend and see if it tastes different. Thanks for the inspiration to throw an impromptu party. I have some cute festive lights and a darling sombero chip and dip I should bring out. Don't you just love a good guacamole?! Happy Cinco de Mayo! :)
I meant to tell you your hair looks fabulous in the photo! Great color on you! :)
- #8
This looks so good, thanks for adding it to my post yesterday! I've had Texas caviar only a few times, but I love it! Can't wait to try your version.
- #9
LOVE this! So delicious and everyone loves it!

Tara, I've never tried freezing it. If you do, come back and tell me if it worked for you :)

Brown Rice, Basil, and Gruyere Garden Stuffing
- Active Time 20m
- Total Time 55m
Makes about 12 cups
When I served this colorful stuffing to guests, they gave it the ultimate stuffing compliment: it's so good, it could be served as a main course! It's equally good inside turkey or chicken.
- 2 1/2 cups (1 pound) long-grain brown rice
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
- 2 medium carrots, sliced 1/4 inch thick
- 2 medium celery ribs, sliced 1/4 inch thick
- 1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
- 1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups shredded Gruyere or Swiss cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1/2 cup turkey or chicken stock, optional
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the brown rice and reduce the heat to medium. Boil uncovered until the rice is barely tender, about 35 minutes. Drain into a sieve and rinse under cold running water. Place in a large bowl.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, zucchini, carrots, celery, red pepper, mushrooms and garlic. Cover partially and cook, stirring often, until the onion is softened and translucent and the vegetables are barely tender, 10-12 minutes.
Scrape the vegetables into the bowl of brown rice and mix well. Stir in the cheese and basil. Season with the salt and pepper. Use as a stuffing. Or place in a lightly buttered casserole, drizzle with the broth, cover and bake as a side dish.

Hakka Restaurant Restaurant Review, San Francisco
Posted by Foodnut.com
Reviewer: Foodnut.com
Hakka Restaurant
4401 Cabrillo St (At 45th avenue)
San Francisco, CA 94121
(415) 876-6898
Hakka Restaurant is a family run Chinese restaurant in San Francisco's Outer Richmond District that opened in early 2010. It has garnered some foodie attention on chowhound. While they serve a wide variety of Chinese dishes, they are known for their Chinese specialties.
Decor, Vibe – Hakka Restaurant has typical basic Chinese restaurant decor. The place was packed when we visited on a Friday night, making reservations a must during busy times. The crowd was almost exclusively Asian, little mystifying given the positive press this place has gotten.
Menu (Click to zoom into any picture)
Hakka Restaurant Menu has a list of Chef specialties that you should concentrate on. The waiters were helpful in pointing out the most popular dishes.
Opening special: 10% off orders was automatically given when we visited in April.
Hakka Restaurant Full image set
Free soup was a melon with pork brothy freebie.
Salt-baked chicken ($11.95 half) is a classic Hakka dish in which they rub the chicken with wine, seasonings, and rock salt, and roast it slowly. The chicken did not look very photogenic but had lots of flavor and was very tender. Smoky flavors, only parts of the skin were crispy though. Comes with a sesame dipping sauce.
Sautéed Crab with salted egg yolk (Price Varies, 2.5 lbs for $28) was an excellent dish and a must get. Its price changes due to market conditions. They have a tank with live crab in the back. The crab was cooked perfectly and the Golden yellow almost corn mealy coating added a punchy flavor to the crab. Hot out of the kitchen. Messy, finger licking good, but worth it. Cold leftovers the next day were still delectable.
Home Style Frog Legs with basil were on the spicy side but had a huge quantity of fresh frog that sort of tastes like chicken. Very boney, lots of basil flavor, and a bit on the salty side.
Beef short ribs with black pepper and honey sauce was also an excellent dish. Sort of like Korean short ribs but with a more subtle sweetness and smooth texture that included a bit of pepper on the tongue. Not spicy, but tender and boney.
Complementary dessert was a mung bean and seaweed soup. A very interesting combination of flavors.
Hakka Restaurant had decent service with the waiters obviously trying their best for a small family run place. Tea was kept up to date, plate changes were made. The pacing of the dishes was wild and varied though. For those looking for Hakka Chinese food in San Francisco, be sure to try this place. For those little less adventurous, give this inexpensive place to try and order the dishes we selected.

Document Number: 6195Cultivating Minds - This article argues that universal, high-quality primary and secondary education is achievable � and well within the ability of wealthy nations to fund � by the middle of the 21st century. The authors outline five changes essential to achieving that goal: (1) open discussions � nationally, regionally and internationally � on the goals of education; (2) a commitment to improving the effectiveness and economic efficiency of education; (3) a commitment to extending high-quality secondary education to all children; (4) recognition of the diverse character of educational systems in different countries, and adaptation of aid policies and educational assessment requirements to local contexts; and (5) more funding from rich countries for education in poor countries.

aLinux Changelog
New in version 15.0June 30th, 2014
- aLinux 15.0 released, updates the graphical installer, dialogues, etc., easier to install. Same old system but with just enough updates to be 'usable'.

Distro is optimized for i686 now. Kopete has been removed and replaced with Pidgin messenger. It's still a distro aimed at computers from the past (mine included), so if you're looking for the latest bleeding edge, you won't find it here, but if you're looking for something a bit more complete from a past 'yesterday' operating system that still manages to work in 2013, this may suit you.
New in version 12.8 (February 17th, 2010)
- The API was changed by updating to glibc 2.4 and GCC 4.1.1.

Sadly, 6 years after their first appearance the Camden Cyclists' mapping pages are no longer available!
They were based on Version 2 of the Google Maps Javascript Library, which was withdrawn in November 2013 and we don't have the time and effort available to port the system to Version 3 of library.
A different mapping service intended to support cycle campaigners and others is under consideration and may appear here in due course.
Meanwhile most of the facilities that the Camden maps offered are now available from other services. Where they are not, we have used Google Fusion Tables to produce simple maps from the data on which the old maps were based, see below:
Since the Camden Cyclists maps were first developed, the OpenStreetMap community has produced an outstandingly complete and accurate survey of all the signed cycle routes in London (and elsewhere). (Here is a key to the map). This resource supersedes much of what the Camden maps provided and it is being continually updated and improved.
The 'Plan a Route' button on the Camden maps relied on the excellent CycleStreets route planning service and that continues to be available through many other apps including:
We know of no equivalent to the enjoyable and sometimes useful facility to take a virtual ride that the Camden Maps offered.
Bike shop locations in Camden
The table and map at http://camdencyclists.org.uk/camden/shops includes all of the shops incuded in the maps.camdencyclists database. This data will continue to be updated.
Members of the Cycling Campaign used the maps to show the location of each cycling scheme proposed by Camden and record details of their status, with a link to a detailed description. A new map of all the consultations recorded between 2010 and 2013 can be found here.
'Stands wanted'
This facility has not been used recently and there are better alternatives. We recommend the London Cycling Campaign's web app which notifies local authorities about each request: http://www.cycleparking4london.org.uk/
Routes to schools
This was a small facility offering some 'spider maps' of recommended routes to secondary schools in some parts of Camden only. They have not been updated recently. The data to reconstruct the routes using Fusion Tables could be made available to anyone wanting to construct a similar facility.
The Camden maps included interactive maps of London-wide cycle routes in several categories. We are working towards making separate maps from some of them (those that aren't superseded by OpenCycleMap). Some are completed and linked below:
We would welcome offers of assistance with that task as well as requests to use the data (KML files) for other purposes.

The Literature strand in the Australian Curriculum: English Foundation to Year 10 aims to engage students in the study of literary texts of personal, cultural, social and aesthetic value. These texts include some that are recognised as having enduring social and artistic value and some that attract contemporary attention.

Shalimar the Clown: A Novelby Salman Rushdie
"As Kashmir collapses into chaos, one beleaguered onlooker croaks, 'We are no longer protagonists, only agonists.' That bit of dialogue says much about Shalimar the Clown, Salman Rushdie's new novel, a devastating if at times heavy-handed examination of a doomed love and doomed region. Mr. Rushdie embraces big themes, endless allusions and puns, folklore, and anything else handy in his estimable arsenal while exploring everyone and everything from Clytemnestra and the Koran to Bretton Woods and Bugatti." Erik Spanberg, Christian Science Monitor (read the entire Christian Science Monitor review)
"The quixotic quest for a new hybrid literary form seems to pit Rushdie in a rebellion against the history of the novel itself, a regression to Arthurian romance and staged melodramas....The global novel must appeal to the greatest number; the modern masses of Mumbai, New York, London and their provinces demand spectacle, so let us give the people what they want. Since they all seem to want to watch movies, novels should become as much like movies as possible, all the while winking in homage to the new master art form." Marco Roth, Times Literary Supplement (read the entire times Literary Supplement review)
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
From one of the leading literary figures of our time, a gripping international tale of love and revenge, and the ancient and modern conflicts from which they spring.
Los Angeles, 1991. Ambassador Maximilian Ophuls, one of the makers of the modern world, is murdered in broad daylight on his illegitimate daughter India's doorstep, slaughtered by a knife wielded by his Kashmiri Muslim driver, a mysterious figure who calls himself Shalimar the clown. The dead man is a charismatic World War II Resistance hero, a man of formidable intellectual ability, a former US ambassador to India and subsequently America's counter-terrorism chief. The murder looks at first like a political assassination, but turns out to be passionately personal.
This is the story of Max Ophuls, his killer and his daughter — and of a fourth character, the woman who links them, whose story finally explains them all. It is an epic narrative that moves from California to Kashmir, from Nazi-occupied Europe to the world of modern terrorism. Along the way there is kindness, and magic capable of producing miracles; there is also war — ugly, unavoidable and seemingly interminable. And there is always love, gained and lost, uncommonly beautiful and mortally dangerous.
Everything is unsettled. Everything is connected. Lives are uprooted, names keep changing — nothing is permanent. The story of anywhere is also the story of everywhere else. Spanning the globe and darting through history, Rushdie's narrative captures the heart of the reader and the spirit of a troubled age.
"To characterize the novel as 'rich' seems inadequately broad as a general description of a Rushdie book....His beautifully metaphoric language and sly sense of humor keep his complex plot, with its layers of personal and cosmic meaning, tightly woven." Booklist
"[A] magical-realist masterpiece that equals, and arguably surpasses, the achievements of Midnight's Children, Shame, and The Moor's Last Sigh. The Swedes won't dare to offend Islam by giving Rushdie the Nobel Prize he deserves more than any other living writer. Injustice rules." Kirkus Reviews
"Less antic in its fabulism than his controversial The Satanic Verses, less self-conscious and fragmented than the Booker Prize-winning Indian opus Midnight's Children, the new work is fiercely focused and, for Rushdie, understated." Miami Herald
"Shalimar the Clown is a book without a center; it is more like a dragon that consumes its tail as it proceeds forward....Once readers accept this kind of destabilization, they can enjoy moments of hope in this book for what they truly are: moments." Boston Globe
"[T]he author's allegory-making machinery clanks and wheezes....Shalimar the Clown is hobbled by Mr. Rushdie's determination to graft huge political and cultural issues onto a flimsy soap opera plot....[An] ambitious but ham-handed novel." Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
"Rushdie's greatest novel since The Satanic Verses....There is nothing cutesy here, no pages of puns to hide the naked pain of the horrors that one house can inflict on another, but transparent, extraordinary writing." Los Angeles Times
"Rushdie simply delivers more of a wallop in one novel than most writers achieve ever. If Rushdie's novels like Midnight's Children and The Moor's Last Sigh are embedded in your brain, you will adore Shalimar the Clown. There is an epic sweep to Shalimar." USA Today
"[T]he strongest parts...give lust and betrayal their primal due. Regrettably, the author's got bigger ideas....Trumping up connections from his love triangle to a half century's worth of geopolitics, Salman Rushdie overwhelms his own characters. (Grade: B)" Entertainment Weekly
"The book deftly mixes dark comedy with high politics, sex and war and terror, romance and mythology. It never flags...and while not a great novel it is certainly close enough to greatness that it demonstrates to us once again...that, as Herman Melville said, great novels demand great themes." Chicago Tribune
"Prepare for magic when reading Shalimar the Clown, the kind of magic that comes from a novelist weaving a story worthy of his genius — and the kind of magic that comes from a novel that opens you to seeing the world as you never supposed. I have warned you." Detroit Free Press
"A masterpiece — a beautiful, painful, terrifying book, both fantastical and harshly realistic, filled with complex and memorable characters, and completely unpredictable in its blend of political thriller, folktale, melodrama, reportage and even science fiction." Seattle Times
In this gripping international tale of love and revenge, and the ancient and modern conflicts from which they spring, a murder looks at first like a political assassination, but turns out to be passionately personal.
"Dazzling . . . Modern thriller, Ramayan epic, courtroom drama, slapstick comedy, wartime adventure, political satire, village legend-theyre all blended here magnificently."
-The Washington Post Book World
This is the story of Maximilian Ophuls, Americas counterterrorism chief, one of the makers of the modern world; his Kashmiri Muslim driver and subsequent killer, a mysterious figure who calls himself Shalimar the clown; Maxs illegitimate daughter India; and a woman who links them, whose revelation finally explains them all. It is an epic narrative that moves from California to Kashmir, France, and England, and back to California again. Along the way there are tales of princesses lured from their homes by demons, legends of kings forced to defend their kingdoms against evil. And there is always love, gained and lost, uncommonly beautiful and mortally dangerous.
"A commanding story . . . [a] harrowing climax . . . Revenge is an ancient and powerful engine of narrative."
-The New York Times Book Review
"Absorbing . . . Everywhere [Rushdie] takes us there is both love and war, in strange and terrifying combinations, painted in swaying, swirling, world-eating prose that annihilates the borders between East and West, love and hate, private lives and the history they make."
"A vast, richly peopled, beautiful and deeply rageful book that serves as a profound and disturbing artifact of our times."
-San Francisco Chronicle
"Marvelous . . . brilliant . . . a story worthy of [Rushdies] genius."
-Detroit Free Press
- The Washington Post Book World -Los Angeles Times Book Review -St. Louis Post-Dispatch -Rocky Mountain News
-Time -Chicago Tribune -The Christian Science Monitor
About the Author
Salman Rushdie is the author of eight previous novels — Grimus, Midnight's Children (for which he won the Booker Prize and the "Booker of Bookers"), Shame, The Satanic Verses, Haroun and the Sea of Stories, The Moor's Last Sigh, The Ground Beneath Her Feet, and Fury — and one collection of short stories, East, West. He has also published five works of non-fiction: The Jaguar Smile, Imaginary Homelands, The Wizard of Oz, Mirrorwork, and Step Across This Line.

Puerto Egas (James Bay) is located on the northwest side of Santiago Island. The landing is on a black beach with eroded rock formations surrounding it. The trail crosses the dry interior where you will pass the remains of a salt mining enterprise. Continue along the coast to see tidal pools that are home to an abundant variety of invertebrate organisms, including sea urchins, octopus, and starfish. Have the chance to also see marine iguanas, finches, oyster catchers, and possibly the Galapagos Hawk. The Fur Sea Lion Grottos is one of the only places in the islands where the Fur Sea Lion can be viewed.
After the walk, take a relaxing swim or snorkel around the bay. This will allow you the chance to see sea lions, various fish, and possibly turtles, rays, and reef sharks.
The early morning activity is followed by kayaking or a panga ride. This will give you the opportunity to see a bounty of blue-footed boobies perched on the ledges of the cliffs. Also enjoy the chance to see marine iguanas, penguins, brown pelicans, brown noddy terns, and swallow-tailed gulls. While exploring the channel between Fernandina and Isabela Islands, enjoy the possibility of an encounter with dolphins and whales.
Fernandina Island is one of the most pristine and dynamic ecosystems in the entire world. La Cumbre Volcano last erupted in April 2009 and its lava flows dominate the landscape here all the way to the ocean. Punta Espinoza is a narrow piece of land where some of the most unique Galapagos species can be seen. These include the flightless cormorant, Galapagos snakes, marine iguanas, penguins and the Galapagos hawk.
Excellent snorkeling can be found in Punta Vicente Roca. Sea turtles can usually be seen as well as several varieties of fish. For those who do not snorkel, take a panga ride for the opportunity to study some of the Galapagos' spectacular geological rock formations. Nazca boobies, pelicans, swallow-tailed gulls, marine iguanas, flightless cormorants and penguins are often seen in the area.

|The Game Story:
|ANNAPOLIS, Md. - Sophomore Kevin Huntley's game-winner dribbled through All-American keeper Matt Russell's (Madison, Conn.) legs with 5:07 remaining in the contest,as No. 12 Johns Hopkins claimed a 9-8 thriller over fourth-ranked Navy on a soggy afternoon at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. Huntley's goal helped the Blue Jays keep their winning streak over the Mids intact, as Hopkins has now won 32 in a row against Navy. Meanwhile it's the third-straight one goal game between the two teams and the fifth-consecutive one-goal decision by the Blue Jays in games played in Annapolis (15-14 in 1998, 7-6 OT in 2000, 9-8 in 2002 and 10-9 OT in 2004).
"There were too many little things that didn't go our way today for us to come up with a win," said Navy head coach Richie Meade. "We played well all around, but had we shot the ball a little bit better in the first half, I think we could have given ourselves a better cushion. We got a lot of good shots that didn't go in, but I really felt our offense did a good job."
Junior midfielder Billy Looney (Silver Spring, Md.) put the Mids on the scoreboard first, as he fired a shot at Jesse Schwartzman's right ankle, giving Navy a 1-0 advantage just 43 seconds into the game.
Hopkins answered when Jack Byrne bullied his way inside and faked left to right and found space just to the left of Russell's knee, knotting the score with just under 11 minutes remaining in the opening quarter.
Seniors Taylor Harris (Clifton, Va.) and Jon Birsner (Levittown, N.Y.) teamed up on back-to-back goals, including an extra-man tally at the 13:21 mark in the second, to give Navy a 3-1 lead with 10 minutes left in the half.
Hopkins stormed back with a pair of goals of its own to tie the game at three apiece. Navy's defense broke down, as Greg Peyser ran up the gut and beat Russell on a three-yarder. Huntley followed with a picturesque goal where he was horizontal when he released his shot from the right side.
Sophomore Nick Mirabito (Binghamton, N.Y.) set up Navy's goal with 3:25 left in the second quarter when he wrapped around the left side of the goal and found a wide-open Birsner standing on the crease for an easy score. The Mids tacked on a goal with just over a minute to play when rookie Matt Bitter (Manhasset, N.Y.) took a Terence Higgins (Chappaqua, N.Y.) pass and bounced it past Schwartzman to give Navy a 5-3 lead.
The Blue Jays, however, got the final say of the half when sophomore middie Stephen Peyser drove to the left side of the box and fired in his second goal of the season with 16.2 seconds remaining on the clock, narrowing the gap to one at the half.
Just 1:30 in the second half, Hopkins freshman Brian Christopher wrapped around the left side of the goal, tucking the ball over Russell's shoulder to tie the game at 5-5.
Birsner answered 1:24 later with his second goal of the game, running around the left side of the cage where he got off a quick shot. Navy pushed its lead to 7-5 when Birsner fed Mirabito who fired in a 10-yarder from the right side at the 5:20 mark. The Mids nearly made it a three-goal game, as Looney's shot at the horn hit the left post.
Hopkins opened up the fourth quarter with back-to-back goals nine seconds apart to tie the game up once again (7-7). Just as Geoff Leone (Massapequa, N.Y.) made contact with Byrne, Byrne was able to turn to right and flick the ball over his right shoulder, surprising Russell. On the ensuing face-off, Tommy Wallin (Mountain Lakes, N.J.) looked to scoop up the loose ball as it made its way towards the Navy goal. Tom Duerr, making his first start of the year, picked up the loose ball in an unsettled situation and quickly fired off the shot which rippled the left side of the net.
Johns Hopkins took its first lead of the day when Paul Rabil took a shot from eight yards out on the fly with 9:40 to go.
The Mids knotted up the game at eight apiece when the Birsner-Mirabito connection hooked up for the third time and Mirabito notched his second goal of the afternoon, launching from the right side of the field.
Huntley answered the call a minute later as he was able to thread the ball past Russell for the game-winner from the right side as he was falling down. The ball actually hit Russell and slowly rolled into the goal as Russell dove after it.
"Huntley slipped underneath and scored a great goal," said Meade.
"I knew he was going low, so I got down," said Russell. "It bobbled between my legs and just rolled in. He made a great play and I don't want to take anything away from him. He's a great player.
"I got hit with a few balls today and instead of deflecting out, they deflected in. That (Huntley's goal) was a perfect example of just that."
Navy had its chances down the stretch, but the small errors added up. Leone overthrew teammate Ian Dingman (Deferiet, N.Y.) on a clear attempt with 3:40 to play and with roughly 3:30 remaining, senior pole Chris Barnard (Rochester, N.Y.) was flagged for being offsides. Though the flag was thrown, Hopkins did a good job of maintaining possession and it wasn't until Russell came out of the goal and literally tackled Huntley on the end line that the play was whistled dead at the 1:07 mark and Navy would be a man down for 30 seconds.
It was Russell who once again came out of the goal and with 34.4 seconds to go, Russell pushed Byrne out of bounds and Navy got the ball back. Russell threw the ball in play and Looney came racing down the field. A couple of passes later, Looney fired off a 15-yarder that flew wide right. Navy retained possession with 9.9 seconds remaining and Birsner tried to squeeze the pass in to Dingman who was double teamed. Unable to make the catch, the ball was loose on the field when time expired.
"Heading into the fourth quarter, I felt like the next goal scored would be a big one. "
And that it was as the Blue Jays outscored Navy, 4-1, in the final quarter.
Birsner paced the Mids with two goals and four assists, while Mirabito turned in a two-goal, one-assist effort. Russell finished with six saves for Navy.
Eight of the nine Hopkins goals were unassisted, as Rabil paired his goal with an assist. Huntley and Byrne led the Blue Jays with two goals apiece, and Jamison Koesterer made a name for himself at the face-off "x" where he won nine of the 11 face-offs he took. Schwartzman, meanwhile, came up with 10 saves, including back-to-back point-blank saves in the second quarter against Dingman.
Navy returns to action next weekend when it plays in the Patriot League Tournament (Friday and Sunday). The site will be determined Sunday following the conclusion of the Colgate at Bucknell affair which is set for 1:00 pm. If Colgate, who is 4-2 on the road, defeats Bucknell, the two-day, four-team tournament will be held in Hamilton, N.Y. If Bucknell, who is not one of the four teams who has qualified to play in the league tournament, beats Colgate, Navy will play host to the tournament for the third-consecutive year.

ATLANTA -- Fulton County Housing and Human Services have taken 32 residents who were living in poor conditions to another hotel.
According to Jolene Butts Freeman of the Fulton County Government, 19 families were living in the Extend--Lodge hotel just west of the city.
Located at 4430 Frederick Drive, Health Services and Code Enforcement shut down the hotel on Friday because violations were found in water damage, ceiling mold and unsanitary conditions in the rooms.
The displaced residents were taken to temporarily live at the Stratford Inn Extended Stay Hotel until they find alternative housing, reported Freeman.
The Extend-A-Lodge was closed after several inspection violations by Health Services, in addition to Friday's findings.
Officials revoked thehotel's tourist accommodations permit for a high number of police requests, police interventions to the grounds within the past year, criminal activity occurring nearby, and failure by the operator to adequately supervise and monitor employee conduct, patrons and others on site.
The hotel sweep was carried out by agencies of Fulton County including Fulton County Health Services, Police, Code Enforcement and Housing and Human Services, according to Freeman.

It's bad enough for a homeowner to have to cope with a foreclosure or possible foreclosure.
But scam artists that prey on those in foreclosure can make things even worse.
While there are legitimate foreclosure rescue services and investors who will purchases homes in the pre-foreclosure process, CyberHomes says there are certain things that should put homeowners on alert.
CyberHomes advises homeowners to be cautious if a rescue service:
•Has no telephone number or physical address.
•Has an ".org" website or email address but isn't a non-profit.
•Demands a fee in advance.
•Tells you to send mortgage payment to anyone other than your loan servicer.
•Instructs you to transfer ownership of your property.
•Makes verbal promises that aren't put in writing.

COLTON What began as a pencil sketch on a piece of lined scrap paper soon became an 8-foot tribute to lumberjacks in Colton.
Paul Bunyan and his blue ox, Babe, stand tall atop their stone perch in Roger C. Scovils front yard at 4408 Route 56, South Colton.
Mr. Scovil said that seven years ago he had the idea to have something built in dedication to Colton lumberjacks and woodsmen from the past and present.
I dont think Colton would be here if it wasnt for them, he said. They had a lot to do with this area at that time. A lot of people that lived around here had somebody in their family who was a lumberjack or worked in the woods.
Mr. Scovil said that generations ago, woodsmen built the Colton community. It was a major way to make a living back then, he said.
His father was a lumberjack in the area for years, driving trucks that hauled lumber, and Mr. Scovil also worked in the business for Frank Young, father of his wife, Leota M., who ran his own logging company.
I had two years of it, so I kind of knew what it was like and the hard work they do, he said. They were hard-working people.
Mr. Scovil said lumberjacks of the Adirondacks area begin their workdays early in the morning and sometimes work 12 to 14 hours a day. He said that sometimes, lumberjacks would camp out in the woods for weeks at a time during the winter to get the job done.
I respect those people and thats why we wanted this done, he said. We just dont want them to be forgotten.
Mr. Scovil paid artist Don Holland,75, South Colton, to cut out and paint the statue of the famous lumberjack.
I started with a sketch and projected it onto plywood, cut out the image with a saber saw, primed it and painted it by hand, Mr. Holland said.
Mr. Holland designs and paints signs for businesses and towns all over St. Lawrence County. He also has painted cars for derbies.
In this business you do many things, he said. He wanted to make a dedication to the lumberjacks, so I said Why not? Well try to make it.
After it was finished, Mr. Scovil had the sign placed on a stump in his yard. However, the stump began to rot over the years, so he had it moved to its stone mantle near the road, for which their son Jeffrey A. Scovil, a mason in the Colton area, did all the stonework.
Mr. Scovil has solar lights installed to illuminate the statue at night.
The wood lumberjacks new position near the road has been getting him some attention.
Weve been getting phone calls asking what its all about, he said. Every time I go upstate, people say it was a good idea and they really like it.

Rated 1 out of 5 by euphgirl Started to corrode/rust inside after 3 uses I bought this 2 months ago and I was so excited to have a dedicated pasta pot/insert I could put in the dishwaher. Finished cooking pasta tonight to find corrosion on the main (bottom) pot. I've only used it 3 times (and only for pasta - the bottom has only boiled water!) Unfortunately, I recently threw out the receipt or I would be returning this to the store. April 21, 2015
