Entering the family business at the age of 15, Becky Areias started working at Hilgenfeld Mortuary, which was opened in 1927 by her late great grandfather, Samuel Hilgenfeld.
The young Areias took instruction from her late grandfather, Melvin Hilgenfeld, followed the family's traditions and values and has been providing funeral services to the community for the past 32 years.
On Feb. 24, Areias will receive the Anaheim Citizen of the Year Award at the Cypress College Americana Awards for her leadership within the community, involvement on various boards and support of nonprofit programs in Anaheim. Areias shares her dedication to her family business and loyalty to her community.
Q. Describe the history of the Hilgenfeld Mortuary.
A. My great grandfather, Samuel Hilgenfeld, started it in 1927. After he passed, my grandfather Melvin Hilgenfeld took over. I started working there with my parents, Margie Hilgenfeld-Field and Gary Field. My mom became president in 1985. After my parents retired just two years ago, I became president of Hilgenfeld Mortuary.
Q. What makes the Hilgenfeld Mortuary unique?
A. My great grandfather was a minister so he thought of this (funeral service) as a ministry. We are all about giving service to others. We are very service-oriented, that is what sets us apart.
Q. How is your family linked to Cypress College?
A. After Samuel passed, Melvin started a mortuary science college in Los Angeles. But in 1978, running the mortuary in Anaheim and overseeing the college became too much for him, so he sold the school to Cypress College. That is how Cypress has their mortuary science department.
From selling the college, we started the Hilgenfeld Foundation Scholarship to give grants to students within the funeral service field from Cypress College. My grandfather was big on education. He always said, "Foundation is your education." We grant one to the American Board of Funeral Service Education, about $6,000, and one to the Cypress College Foundation for students in the Mortuary Science College, about $5,500.
Q. What other areas of the community are you involved with?
A. A: I an active with the Anaheim Family YMCA, the Anaheim Chamber Women's Division, Anaheim Beautiful, Altrusa Club of Anaheim, Ebell Club of Anaheim, Cypress College Mortuary Science Advisory, the Boys & Girls Club of Anaheim, Anaheim Arts Council, Downtown Anaheim Foundation, Anaheim Family Justice Center, Orange County Catholic Churches and the Anaheim Mayor's Prayer Breakfast.
Q. What does receiving the Anaheim Citizen of the Year Americana Award mean to you?
A. It's a very honorable thing. My mom received this award in 2000. It's worthwhile because I feel like I am carrying on my grandfather's tradition of continuing education at Cypress College. For me, it's even more honorable because my grandfather was big on supporting Cypress College. To me it's even more special than any other recipient, being that I have a big connection with the whole school and my connection with my great grandfather and education.

Duke Robillard
If you rushed out some years ago to pick up Robbie Robertson's first solo album expecting it to sound somewhat like the Band, you were probably mighty disappointed. That is, until you listened to it a few more times, shrugged off your preconceptions, and dug it for the idiosyncratic masterwork it is. Same goes for axman Duke Robillard's latest slab.
A member of the Fabulous Thunderbirds for a spell, a founder of Roomful of Blues, and lately a tour mate of John Hammond, Robillard's name generally calls up associations with fiery blues or shoe-tappin' swing. Temptation confounds on those levels, offering instead blues-based rock that seems calculated to reach a crossover audience.
What elevates this album to interesting is its solid, New Orleans-flavored grooves. Sure, Robillard's guitarwork is remarkable as ever, one minute recalling Kenny Burrell's jazzy licks, the next making like Buddy Guy. And his singing is better than I've heard it. However, it's the drumming and percussion of Jerry McAllister that drives these songs, whether he's beating out a tempo on a bass drum case, providing texture on beaded gourd, shimmering accents on a bell tree, or doing Lord knows what with a "China boy cymbal" (hey, we're just quoting liner notes here) and a "space phone."
At first listen this seems standard fist-pumping rock fare, a compromise by an excellent blues musician. But repeated plays dispel the first impression, especially on standout tracks such as the menacing title song and "Rule the World," an assertion that if the singer could just have the girl, well, certainly becoming the planet's sovereign wouldn't be such a stretch. A cool cowboy song, "The Change Is On," sonically evokes "Ghost Riders in the Sky," made even spookier by a repeated riff on electric sitar. Sounding equally exotic on this eclectic collection is the jazzy "This Dream (Still Coming True)," where Robillard's lead is augmented by cornet, alto sax, and trombone.
Strangely, Temptation's weakest numbers are the two overtly bluesy tunes, a lame male-female duet called "Never Been Satisfied" and an over-the-top reading of Sugar Boy Crawford's "What's Wrong?" It seems Duke's muse has led him down a different road for now, but the scenery is still pretty groovy.

Duke Robillard Blues Band performs at 9:00 tonight, Thursday, at Stephen Talkhouse, 616 Collins Ave, Miami Beach, 531-7557, tickets cost ten dollars; and Friday at 8:30 and 10:00 p.m. at the Musicians Exchange, 729 W Sunrise Blvd, Ft Lauderdale, 944-2627. Tickets cost ten dollars.
Anders Osborne
Break the Chain
Swedish-born slide-guitarist-vocalist Anders Osborne sounds remarkably like Little Feats's founder Lowell George, the master of pop-boogie-slide. However, the George comparison is probably due more to Osborne's soulful, world-weary vocals than his slide wizardry, at least as displayed in the studio. (In fact, a live tape we managed to glom onto convinced us Osborne's a helluva lot more exciting in front of an audience.)
Stellar musicianship doesn't seem to play a big part on Break the Chain. Competent, yes. Stellar, no (except for the enchanting harmony vocals and fine fiddlin' of Theresa Andersson). You keep hoping to hear a hot slide solo, a big horn chart, a funky bass break to kick this lazy little record's ass into gear. Frustrating, given Osborne's great voice; he's got that Little Feat-Robert Palmer-Boz Scaggs-N'Awlins thang down. Think back to these Seventies icons of rockaboogie, and remember the supreme musicality A George's slide break on "Dixie Chicken" or those towering horns on Feats's "Spanish Moon"; Robert Palmer's stop-on-a-dime-and-ask-for-change transition between "Sailin' Shoes," "Hey, Julia," and "Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley"; the bass propulsion of the Bozman's "Lowdown."
Osborne approaches greatness here and there: the road-beaten title track, the funkshuffle "Real World," and a fine if unremarkable cover of Van Morrison's "Stoned Me." But again, most of Chain teases you with the promise of what could be. Osborne is a true talent and we hope his next outing will be a few degrees hotter: It takes more than laid-back vocals and a rolling New Orleans drum beat to fill Little Feats's shoes.

Anders Osborne performs Friday (tomorrow) at 11:00 p.m. at the Stephen Talkhouse, 616 Collins Ave, Miami Beach, 531-7557. Admission is ten dollars.

Do Something/The Taco Bell Album
(Sony Music Special Products)
I have a confession to make. Promise not to tell anyone cool? Swear?
I recently purchased this CD, the one advertised about 23 hours a day on TV. The one you buy along with your Burrito Del Grande at Taco Bell.
This is a disclosure that, as you can see, has at least two embarrassing elements: 1) I went to Taco Bell. 2) I purchased music at Taco Bell. But the truth of the matter is, I saw the commercial with old Billy from Melrose Place and all those hip band names bouncing around and a way-cool alternative song playing in the background and, well, what can I say -- it was an impulse buy.
Besides, Billy is super hunky.
Now, I could always use the excuse that the CD is being hawked in support of a nonprofit group called Do Something, which, according to the brochure, is run by -- and I quote here -- "young people under the age of 30" who are devoted to doing something about the awful state of the world, one taco at a time.
Ha ha ha! Just a little Dave Barry humor there. In reality, Billy and his Do Something gang want to do all sorts of positive things for our ailing communities, none of which, curiously, have they specified.
While I do not generally associate healing the inner city with shoveling more money into the fast-food industry (or the multinational corporations that run that industry), I'm willing to give these Do Something characters the benefit of the doubt (call it the Billy factor). And anyway, I can probably write it off as a tax deduction.
The important thing, of course, is the music. Unfortunately, though, the music kinda sucks. Actually, let me qualify that. It kinda sucks a lot.
Which is to say there are about four outta ten songs that won't make you heave jalapenos.
They are: "Low," by the always cool-rockin' Cracker; "Slowly, Slowly," by the incomparable Magnapop; "Possession," by the terminally sensitive Sarah McLachlan; and "I'll Take You There," by General Public, who are apparently making their effort at eco-friendly Do Somethingish behavior by recycling this geezer of a tune.

The other six cuts include "Mary Jane," by the once annoying and now just pathetic Spin Doctors; "Tear," by pasty wusses Lotion; and a song called "Return to Innocence," by a band named Enigma (hey man, what a cooooool name). Enigma sounds a lot like the Hare Krishnas who perform outside the Government Center downtown, though the Krishnas have more energy. There is also a song called "Hold Me Up," by the Velvet Crush, who wanted to call themselves the Pasty Wusses, but were worried people would get them confused with Lotion.
Anyways, the folks at corporate central say we consumers should expect plenty more of these nifty product tie-ins, wherein we get the opportunity to buy stuff we don't really need and to pollute a whole bunch of orifices at the same time.
Me, I'm sticking with the Taco Supreme.

I knew Shania's worldwide sales were huge and haven't some of her CDs gone diamond in the US too? It is good to keep stats like that in mind when we rave about Breakaway's success or Some Hearts'. I think Eminem or 50 Cent had an album that sold almost a million copies its first week a year or so ago. As impressive as triple and quintuple platinum are, those awards leave a lot of room to go to catch up with the huge stars in the industry.
You mentioned Asia, and I am not sure who controls distribution there. I think it is considered separately from Europe.

World markets plunged yesterday. Just to recap:
- Britain's benchmark FTSE-100: -5.5%
- France's CAC-40 Index: -6.8%
- Germany's blue-chip DAX 30: -7.2%
- India's benchmark stock index: -7.4%
- Hong Kong's Hang Seng index: -5.5%
- Canada's S&P/TSX composite index: -4.8%
- Brazilian stocks: -6.6%
- Argentina's Merval index: -6.3%
About the only market not to decline was the U.S. markets, because they were closed for the holiday. Tomorrow, the U.S. markets are sure to follow suit. The real question is this: what should investors do?
A. Sell: Convinced that the falling dollar, rising inflation, credit market crisis, and the growing account deficit will surely plunge us into a recession and tank the stock market, we should sell. If you follow Rich Dad's advice, plow all your assets into gold. Reality: If you are a long-term investor (10 years or more before you need your investments) does this week's or this month's or this year's returns really matter?
B. Buy: A falling market always encourages many to sagely conclude that a "buying opportunity" has arisen. With this advice, some investors feel as if they've risen above the fray of the market's ups and downs. It makes some believe they are in control, as if such swings matter only to the inexperienced investor. We might even quote Buffett when he talks about being greedy when others are fearful. Reality: We have no idea if this is a good time to buy. The market is down, but trust me, it can go down a lot more.
C. Watch American Idol with the family: This is my choice. True, the show after a number of years has grown rather predictable. It wasn't really all that good to begin with. But for some reason I still find it entertaining. Reality: I predict we'll hear a lot of contestants who sound rather "pitchy." Paula may very well cry, and Simon will scowl. But I won't do anything stupid with my investments.
A falling market certainly isn't any fun. And we may be in for more declines. If it helps, don't look at your investment balances each day. As long as you have an appropriate asset allocation plan in place, in the long run, I believe the investments will do just fine. That said, what do you do when the market is falling: buy, sell or nothing?

Sandy • So close to stopping history, Toronto FC.
So sorry.
TFC, seconds away from capturing its first point of the Major League Soccer season, received a Steele-toed boot to the gut.
Sandy • So close to stopping history, Toronto FC.
So sorry.
TFC, seconds away from capturing its first point of the Major League Soccer season, received a Steele-toed boot to the gut.
Real Salt Lake's Jonny Steele, who had substituted into Saturday's game in the 82nd minute, buried the game winner in stoppage time to salvage a 3-2 victory.
The entire Toronto team collapsed with disbelief to the Rio Tinto Stadium turf. Their only danger by then was being accidentally spiked by celebrating RSL players.
"It's devastating, because we played well," said Toronto forward Eric Avila, who scored the first of the team's two equalizing goals. "We worked hard for 93 minutes and that happens. At times you say it's football. At times you say it's kind of luck, but those are small things that we do need to fix."
Toronto (0-7-0) is now tied with the 1999 Kansas City Wizards for the worst start in league history.
When Doneil Henry tied the game for Toronto in the 77th minute, it looked for all the world that TFC, after squandering several chances, might just have the point it needed.
Toronto's Torsten Frings badly shanked a first-half penalty kick, and later TFC hit the crossbar.
"They probably had more clear chances the last five, 10 minutes than we did," RSL midfielder Ned Grabavoy said. "But [Steele] found himself in the right spot again."
And there is no sympathy for TFC, not with RSL fighting to right its own game.
Still, "They can taste that first victory," Grabavoy continued. "Imagine, they've been playing for a month and a half now without a win. You're tied in the last 10 minutes? So I'm sure they were feeling pretty confident, like they have nothing to lose, and sometimes, those teams are dangerous."
Now, TFC players as well as coach Aron Winter are trying not to hear the rumblings of discontent from fans and media.
"They worked very hard for it," Winter said his team. "In the end we needed to get at least one point. If you watch the game, if you're going to compare the chances that we had with they had, we had the better chances. We had the penalty, hit the crossbar. We got a lot of opportunities. That's football."

The Lions
The Complete History of the British & Irish Rugby Union Team 1888-2005
David Walmsley
Currently unavailable
- Deluxe edition: 1000 copies
Contributors: Willie John McBride, John Dawes, Brian Lochore, Morné du Plessis, John Eales, Bill Beaumont, Gavin Hastings
Paper: Archival 200gsm matt art paper.
Binding: Full Red Leather
The story of the British and Irish Lions is an epic tale: this complete history of the touring team has been produced on an equally massive scale. The 30 tours since 1888 is told in more than 120,000 words, through the memories, diaries and letters of more than 50 Lions and their opponents, and through piecing together the evidence assembled from two years of research in both the northern and southern hemispheres.
THE LIONS: THE COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE BRITISH AND IRISH RUGBY UNION TEAM is undoubtedly the best-illustrated book on the team ever produced. It contains more than 600 images of the Lions and their opponents on and off the field, dating back to 1888 and the very first tour to Australia and New Zealand. Many of these pictures survive only in century-old scrapbooks in the archives of rugby museums around the world and have never been previously published.
All the surviving captains of the British and Irish Lions and their Test opponents - 27 of them in total - have contributed an introduction to the chapters on their tours to offer a unique insight into some of the greatest of all Test series. And the Lions organisation itself - British Lions Ltd - has opened its archive for the project, permitting access to and reproduction of the post-tour reports of the team's managers and coaches from 1959 to 2001, some of them for the first time.
The book includes full statistics on all Lions tours and Tests, contributed by Stuart Farmer, the official statistician of the British and Irish Lions.

I often go to lunch with junior colleagues. We go to share knowledge, but there's no specific lesson in mind. It's an organic process. Last week, we stumbled on how to handle salty language.
I was deposing a plaintiff. The manager who fired her said that she called him an "a------" when he terminated her. So, I asked her if she said it. She got mad and exclaimed that this word was not in her vocabulary. So, I asked the next most logical question: "Did you say anything like that?"
She rolled her eyes. Then she gave me an even look and said "Well, yes, I called him a m-----------, because anyone can be an a------, but it takes a special person like him to be a m-----------."
We went to trial (this was before every deposition was videotaped). I asked her on cross-examination if she used salty language. She said no. So, I impeached her — not by saying the word myself, but by having her read the Q and A.
Lesson: If I had used the word, I would have been the potty mouth, not her.

We were recently reminded of the famous quote, "Writing about music is like dancing about architecture." Music genres are often confusing—like when iTunes classifies certain songs in your library as "third-wave revival," or "adult contemporary." We're not entirely sure what either of these labels mean, but the last one sounds particularly dreadful; really not something one would want on one's computer at all. At the risk of undermining Interview's raison d'être, this is often how we feel when trying to describe the precise style of today's multi-hyphenate musicians. This is a problem we encountered with this week's Discovery artist, Chet Faker. In keeping with the tradition of today, Chet, whose real name is Nick Murphy, accidentally and instantaneously became a music blog star thanks to his minimalist interpretation of Blackstreet's 1996 R&B hit, "No Diggity." Faker falls somewhere between electronica and house—too slow of a tempo for crazy club dancing, a slightly subtler production, languid, bordering on soul-like vocals. Music to make you feel cool, contemplative, a little aloof.
Hailing from Melbourne Australia, the artist is just coming to terms with the opportunities internet stardom has afforded him—Faker recently played his first festival (SXSW) and is releasing an EP, which includes both "No Diggity" and original tracks. Faker was kind enough to give us an exclusive premiere of one of his new songs, "I'm Into You," as our song of the week. We caught Chet at SXSW last week to discuss his musical influences, future plans, and playing for American crowds.
HOMETOWN: Melbourne, Australia.
HIS NAME: My real name is Nick Murphy, and there is another artist with that name in Australia; he [already] has had a whole bunch of albums out. I started out playing under my own name, but people would come to my gig and be like, "Hey, who the hell is this?" [laughs] I listened to a lot of jazz and I was a big fan of Chet Baker and the way he sang, when he moved into mainstream singing. He had this really fragile vocal style—this really, broken, close-up and intimate style. The name is kind of just an ode to Chet Baker and the mood of music he used to play—something I would like to at least attempt to play homage to in my own music.
WHEN MOTOWN MEETS MINIMALIST HOUSE MUSIC: I was lucky, my parents had really different tastes in music. My mum was listening to a lot of Motown. I think the most played record in our house was the Big Chill Soundtrack—so Smokey Robinson, Aretha Franklin, the Temptations, Otis Redding. I think that's where I got my love for a good hook, a good soul hook—really smooth and warm and from the heart. And then my dad would listen to the chilled out Ibiza CDs; all that super down tempo female vocal kind of stuff. It's like my parents' musical tastes are the mother and father of my music. [laughs] It's their fault for making me so emotional and in tune with my emotions!
ON COVERING "NO DIGGITY": It was sort of a whim decision. I was staying up late one night [and] I'd heard "No Diggity" [by Blackstreet] out that night before I got home, so it was kind of stuck in my head. I just threw it on to the track and it fit really well. It was sort of serendipitous; I didn't plan on it. That was the second song I ever did as "Chet Faker" and it was the first song I ever put online. A lot happened in a short period of time. We definitely had a crack at some other covers—I don't have any problems with doing any covers—but I think with the name Chet Faker, if I do a whole lot of covers, people will start thinking I'm a cover act.
ON BECOMING AN INTERNET SENSATION: One girl emailed me and was like, "Can I blog your song? Can you send me the song?" [but] she was the only person I gave the "No Diggity" MP3 to. I never gave it to anyone else; it wasn't available for download anywhere. I was at university in Australia and my younger brother called me up and said, " Hey man your song is number one on the Hype Machine. It's above Bon Iver's new song!" So I got home and checked it out and it was actually there. That's how I figured out [that people were listening to me song]. From that one blog it went around the whole world, it's crazy.
HIS FIRST FESTIVAL: I guess SXSW is my first festival ever. Wow, I didn't realize that! I think I was more nervous before I came over to the U.S. It's sort of [like] when you are nervous before a race starts, but then as soon as it starts you are no longer nervous; you're just focusing on it. I feel like the race has started now. Am I the sort of person who throws up after the race is over? Oh no, never! I used to run races—I ran state back in Australia—and I reckon I've thrown up twice. Steel guts. [laughs]
MUSIC AS A CAREER: I studied audio engineering at university. The background I am from, music was never seen as a viable career, it was always a hobby. I tried so many different things [but] I just kept dropping out of courses. When I was 21 or 22 I realized I was never going to be something else, I had to be a musician. I can't commit to anything unless I love it. My parents are pretty excited about it—my dad was harder to win over, he is a businessman, but coming over to America to play shows was big deal to him, so they are pretty supportive now.
CHILL-OUT SONG OF CHOICE: I think "Re: Stacks" by Bon Iver is one of the best songs ever written.
PUMP-UP SONG OF CHOICE: My music is so slow, I don't usually get myself pumped up. Is Massive Attack's "Teardrop" a bad pump-up song? I'll go with that one.
AUSTRALIAN VS. AMERICAN CROWDS: Australian crowds are much tougher to play for; I think Americans are a lot more supportive. That sounds bad but in Australia, because [music] is such a small industry, people are afraid to do something that might not work out. It's harder to get opportunities in Australia because if you do one bad thing, you will be known for it. In America I think people are always looking to the next thing, they'll try anything and if it doesn't work it's cool, they'll just do something again. There is no stigma of failure.
HIS LAST FANCY-DRESS COSTUME: My last costume was a Japanese whaler—the captain of a Japanese ship. I think the theme was "inappropriate." [laughs]
GOALS FOR THE FUTURE: I've smashed any of the goals I've ever set so far... I only got this band together six months ago, so tomorrow will be my eighth gig ever as Chet Faker. It's been a crazy year.

Managing Your Materials
What is Purchasing?
Purchasing is the process of sourcing and ordering materials, services, and equipment. It is sometimes referred to as Procurement. Its main objective is to procure materials at the lowest possible cost consistent with the quality and service required. Aside from ensuring that the firm has continuous supply of materials, it is the function of purchasing to ensure that there is a balance between materials supply and inventory levels so that it can maintain its profit position as far as materials costs are concerned.
What is an effective purchasing procedure?
The purchasing procedure is discussed below:
Step 1 - Receipt and analysis of the Purchase Requisition (PR)
The purchasing department receives and analyses the material or supply requirements from the requesting department. Such requests are found in the Purchase Requisition form which contains the details of the requests such as quantity and product specifications.
Step 2 - Selection of the potentials sources of supply
If the material or supply being requested is not a new item, the purchasing staff will look into their files for records on existing suppliers of such requests, otherwise, they will have to check either the yellow pages or the internet or other possible sources to look for possible suppliers.
Step 3 - Issuance of Requests for Quotations
If there is no regular supplier for the material or supply being requested and there is no intent to look for new ones, then the existing supplier will be contacted. However, new or potential suppliers will be asked to submit price quotations for evaluation by the purchasing department.
Step 4 - Selection of the Right Source
Once quotations have been received, the suppliers will then be evaluated. Criteria for evaluation include the following:
• Price quotations
• Specifications
• Delivery capability
• Supplier reliability and dependability
• Supplier reputation
• Possibility of volume discounts
• Possibility to establish long-term relationship with the supplier
Selection of the appropriate supplier depends on the type of item and the importance of the item being procured.
Step 5 - Determination of the Right Price
Once the supplier has been selected, then both parties will have to agree on the right price. Negotiations for price or volume discounts and other arrangements can occur during this step.
Step 6 - Issuance of the Purchase Order ( PO )
Once the price has been agreed upon and approved, then a Purchase Order will be issued to the supplier confirming the details presented in the Purchase Requisition form. It is the function of purchasing to follow up on the supplier not only for compliance on the content of the PO but on the agreed delivery schedule.
Step 7 - Analysis of the Receiving Reports and Approval of Vendor's Invoice for payment
Prior to approval of the vendor's invoice for payment, it is the responsibility of purchasing, through its Receiving Department, to evaluate the content of the delivery as presented in the Receiving Report vis-à-vis the PO and PR. Random sampling of the goods may be conducted to determine veracity of the content as reported in the Receiving Report. Strict quality monitoring is critical at this stage.
What are the different purchasing approaches?
Purchasing approaches differ depending on whether the item is a low value or high value item or whether it has a high or low impact on business (refer to Figure 1) .

The angled view Spotter NC 20-60x80 Spotting Scope from Newcon Optik is a weatherproof optic designed for intermediate to long-range outdoor observations. The polycarbonate housing is nitrogen-filled and o-ring sealed to protect the optics from fogging due to extreme humidity and heavy rainfall. A rubber armored exterior provides enhanced grip when wearing gloves or when conditions get wet, as well as helping to absorb light shock from being transferred to the glass elements.
The highly reflective BAK-4 prisms preserve image quality and render a view through the eyepiece that is color faithful and bright enough for twilight-hour use. This scope's angled view configuration permits the observer to mount the scope at lower heights than their straight view counterparts. An inclined viewing angle is also easier on the observer's back and neck during long-duration observations and while digiscoping.
In addition to the optical features and build quality, the Spotter NC also delivers the functionality needed for a wide range of glassing applications. Optional adapters allow this spotting scope to be paired with a night vision monocular for low-light/no-light observations or a point-and-shoot camera for digiscoping. An included anodized steel tripod, padded carrying case, and sliding sun shade complement the Spotter NC, making it a user-friendly spotting scope kit for almost any recreational activity.

The unspoken idea behind the December 15th #4in1Saturday pop-up was overkill. And who better, I thought, to merge four of my daily obsessions – BurgerMonday, WichThursday, FryFriday, CoffeeSaturday – without a gram of compromise than Carl Clarke of Disco Bistro EC4?
For his BurgerMonday pop-up in April Clarke had created a French-dipped burger with so much juice and beef dripping the only safe place to hold it was over the sink. For 4-in-1Saturday he packed more impending danger into that burger, first by adding pulled 72-hour short rib and a homemade cheese made from beef fat, beer and two cheeses and then by "French-dipping" the extra bun slice in a viscous BBQ sauce made with chicken wing gravy, bacon grease, pig's trotters and bone marrow.
To satiate the WichThursday and FryFriday components he ramped up the fried clam sandwich, a New England classic brought to Old England, with a spicy crab and battermilk sauce and a fried pigskin topping.
He closed the programme by revisiting FryFriday with Valrhona chocolate doughnuts, applying an arabica glaze as the CoffeeSaturday finish and chocolate sauce for dipping.
No one in London does overkill like Carl Clarke and maybe that's a good thing: The work is as exhausting and it is exhilarating, for the diner as well the chef.

Pragmatic capitalism 'works' - it built New Zealand
A couple of months ago, The Economist magazine invited two men, economist Aldo Musacchio and political scientist Ian Bremmer, to debate the motion: "This House believes that state capitalism is a viable alternative to liberal capitalism."
Not surprisingly, given The Economist's readership, the motion was lost. What was surprising about the exchange, however, is that it happened at all.
Since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, it has been the unwavering position of the Right that there are no viable alternatives to liberal capitalism.
Indeed, in 1992, one American writer, Francis Fukuyama, went so far as to declare "the end of history". According to Fukuyama, liberal capitalism and democracy had won the great contest of ideas. From here on out, this is as good as it gets.
Silly man. History was not to be sent from the field quite so easily.
Osama bin Laden, two major wars in the Middle East, and the most serious financial crisis since the Wall Street Crash of 1929 are likely to keep the historians busy for a few years yet.
The Economist's "state capitalism" is a good example of history's ability to keep on surprising.
The disciples of neoliberal economic theory may have celebrated the demise of the state-controlled economies of Eastern Europe and Russia, but their hopes of cheering on a similar capitalist triumph in the People's Republic of China were altogether misplaced.
The Communist Party of China may have conceded a large amount of economic space to the free market, and welcomed the dynamism and innovation unleashed by the capitalist mode of economic organisation, but that welcome went only so far. The Chinese state still dominated the Chinese economy. Capitalism had space - but it was limited. Chinese politics still dominated Chinese economics.
Even more important, the Chinese Government's central economic planning, its ability to "pick winners", and its hands-on political management of economic affairs proved to be a highly successful formula for achieving unprecedented levels of economic growth. In short, Chinese state capitalism worked.
It wasn't very long before other countries started to take notice.
The Chinese model made a deep impression on the rulers of those countries that had been caught up in the Asian Economic Crisis of 1998.
Russia's Vladimir Putin, tidying up after the Wild West capitalism of his predecessor's unregulated kleptocracy, was similarly impressed. The Brazilians, too, found much to admire in the "guided capitalism" of the Chinese.
Petrobras, the big oil exploration company currently licensed to search for hydrocarbons off New Zealand's northeast coast, is owned by the Brazilian state.
It is even possible that the success of the state capitalist model in the fastest growing regions of the world has made some impression on the National Government of New Zealand.
Twenty years ago, a National-led government would have scorned the very notion of "partially" privatising state assets. Given the opportunity, it would have sold off the lot.
John Key's Government, however, clearly sees merit in retaining a majority shareholding in these public enterprises. Let private shareholders inject them with the market's dynamism, innovation and discipline, but then make sure the state appropriates at least half of the rising profits.
And, looking back 10 years or so, didn't the New Zealand state play midwife to this country's biggest money- earner? Yes, on paper Fonterra is an independent, producer-owned co-operative, but in reality it's a massive economic entity that operates under the legal and political protection of the New Zealand Government: a Petrobras of milk.
And what are we to make of Steven Joyce's new Business Innovation and Employment "Super Ministry"? Doesn't it suggest a much more of "state- guided" approach to capitalism?
Isn't Joyce beginning to grasp what so many of the politicians who came before him were forced to acknowledge: that New Zealand's market is too small to ever be entirely "free"?
The private investment model has been tested to destruction in New Zealand - mostly with the life savings of "mum and dad" investors.
The bailout of South Canterbury Finance, allowing for New Zealand's size, was bigger than the United States Government's rescue of Fannies Mae and Mac.
Financial analyst Brian Gaynor, speaking recently to Werewolf editor Gordon Campbell, confirmed that "the government is the only significant domestic source of risk capital" and that any escape from New Zealand's current situation "will have to be state-led". But, there's a catch. "There would be huge opposition to it."
And therein lies the problem.
Like the readers of The Economist, New Zealand businessmen and politicians simply will not abandon their faith in the liberal capitalist ideal.
It says a great deal about how fundamentally the New Zealand character's been changed by its 1980s conversion to neoliberalism. That state capitalism, the pragmatic capitalism which built New Zealand; the capitalism that works; remains beyond the purview of its politics.

What are analysts saying about O'Reilly Automotive stock? Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about O'Reilly Automotive stock: 1. Credit Suisse Group analysts commented, " Sigman said. "Patience is needed."What Is Driving The Uncertainty?Sigman highlighted while Wednesday's move might be an overreaction, it is clear the market is worried about several factors in O'Reilly's industry. Specifically, he noted deceleration in O'Reilly's business after April, uncertainty from key drivers and vulnerable margins.Could More Favorable Weather Trends Benefit O'Reilly Shares?"While we assume lower baseline growth for the industry going forward after several above average years, we do see optionality from more favorable weather in 2H after two unseasonably warm winters," Sigman said." (7/6/2017) 2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "O'Reilly's adjusted earnings and revenues missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate. However, earnings and revenues increased year over year. The company's focus on acquisitions and expansion of stores and distribution network is expected to help growth. Moreover, increasing share repurchases is also expected to boost shareholder returns. Further, the company has provided an upbeat guidance for 2017. However, the company's large proportion of cash tied up in inventories may affect short-term liquidity. Moreover, its store concentration in a region can adversely impact sales. The company's stores are concentrated in a few locations in the U.S. and can be negatively impacted by the economic and weather conditions of these regions. In the past, this has affected sales to a considerable extent. Further, O'Reilly expects selling, general and administrative expenses to increase in 2017 compared to 2016, due to rising costs."

Ratings from certain research firms that issue ratings using purely quantitative methods (such as Zacks, Vetr and ValuEngine) are not included in consensus calculations. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.Ratings Breakdown: 11 Hold Ratings, 8 Buy Ratings, 1 Strong Buy RatingConsensus Rating:Buy (Score: 2.50)Consensus Price Target: $242.89 (12.89% upside) Analysts' Ratings History for O'Reilly Automotive (NASDAQ:ORLY) Show: Only the Most Recent Rating From Each Brokerage All Ratings For This Stock DateFirmActionRatingPrice TargetImpact on Share PriceDetails9/5/2017Bank of America CorporationReiterated RatingBuy -> Buy$250.00Low9/1/2017Robert W.

Product Showcase
Nyalox Abrasive Nylon Brushes
Source: Chase Industrial Products Corporation
Nyalox brushes are constructed of abrasive impregnated nylon filaments in three color-coded grit ranges. Available as wheel, cup, end and flap brushes. These products can outlast steel or brass wire brushes 10 to 1, and can perform more operations as well. Nyalox brushes can both deburr, radius and finish surfaces at once, eliminating steps and saving time and money. Stock brushes are available for of-hand, or bench grinder applications, and special orders can be placed for robotic applications on large parts.
Now there's a new way for commercial and industrial users to clean and polish a vareity of materials without gouging. The nylon bristles are thoroughly impregnated with abrasive grit, color-coded for easy selection. Nyalox removes old paint, rust, corrosion, oxidation, weld scale and burrs from metals. Wood products can be structured, denipped and finished. Clean and sand unfinished and rough surfaces in one application. Nyalox lasts up to ten times longer than metal wire brushes, will not shed its bristles and will not puncture the skin. Since the abrasive grain is throughout the filiment, the finish remains constant as the brush wears down. Since the tips of the bristles do most of the work (lighter pressure is required than with wire brushes)fresh abrasive grain is constantly exposed. Nyalox brushes are available in 3"and 4" wheels, 2.5" cup, 3/4" end and 4" flap, all mandrel mounted. General purpose wheels come in 6" and 8" diameters with 1/4" width and copper 3/4" center for use with bushings to meet other arbor hole sizes. The ability of Nyalox to surface finish, deburr and radius in one pass will save time and money. Custom-made sizes are available to finish any sized part, up to 40'extrusions with robotic applications.

Editor's Note: TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency).

Top gainers within the sector include AmerisourceBergen ( ABC), up 5.6%, Walgreen Company ( WAG), up 4.8%, Ryanair Holdings ( RYAAY), up 2.7%, Net Servicos De Comunicacao ( NETC), up 2.0% and eBay ( EBAY), up 1.5%.

Shares are down 4.6% year to date as of the close of trading on Monday. Currently there are 2 analysts that rate Liberty Media Corporation a buy, no analysts rate it a sell, and 1 rates it a hold. TheStreet Ratings rates Liberty Media Corporation as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its compelling growth in net income, revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, notable return on equity and solid stock price performance. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company shows weak operating cash flow. Get the full Liberty Media Corporation Ratings Report now.

text: AsiaAfghan security deal hinges on attacks ending President Karzai says he will only sign the security agreement if NATO airstrikes stop. 30 Nov 2013 01:17 GMT | Asia A prominent anti-Taliban lawmaker has been injured by a suicide bombing inside his home in Kabul. The bombing comes as Afghan President Hamid Karzai considers an agreement allowing NATO forces to stay in the country beyond 2014. He says all NATO airstrikes must stop before he'll sign that deal. It follows a drone strike on Thursday, which killed a child and injured two women. Al Jazeera's Osama bin Javad reports.Source: Al Jazeera

Everything you expect from a Mario adventure: great 3D implemenation, solid controls and colorful graphics
Very easy main campaign, little variety in challenges.
Back in 1990, Nintendo jumped into the world of handheld consoles with the green and black screened Game Boy. One of the first devices of its kind that had swappable games, Super Mario Land was one of the launch titles. Featuring strange Easer Island heads, tiny sprites and a couple of fun vehicle levels, the title introduced a generation of 90's kids to the joys of gaming on the go. Road trips to an obscure Pennsylvania water park were finally tolerable.
Super Mario Land 3D does the same trick as its 2D namesake, introducing the third dimension to the familiar modern Mario formula. The game is broken up as everyone expects: take eight separate worlds with five levels apiece, add a sprinkle of Toad houses for flavor and you have the basic framework. Each stage features three Star Medals which when collected, open up optional levels and required castles. All standard equipment in the Mushroom Kingdom.
Being the first Mario game in true 3D is why most people are coming to this party an in that respect, 3D Land fails to disappoint. While nothing pops out at you, the main benefit is an added sense of depth. As a result, you'll find a number of falling levels, track based stages and situations that will challenge your sense of vertigo. It's constantly immersive, important in keeping interest throughout the fairly easy main campaign. Reaching the end of the first quest took just under three hours and I had well over 100 lives stocked up when the credits rolled.
Much of the difficulty is evaporated by new powerups: the Boomerang, which gives Mario a looping projectile, the Propeller Box, which behaves exactly like the Propeller Suit from New Mario Bros Wii and the beloved Tanooki Suit. The latter provides the ability to float down from a jump, much like the raccoon tail from Mario 3 on the NES. Of all the powerups, this is the most desirable and challenge killing. The ability to hold the A button and cruise downward removes any need for proper jump timing and makes many levels easy to run through. To further aid gamers, after five deaths at checkpoint, the game gives you the option to use an Invincible Tanooki suit to fly through the level and after ten, a P-Wing can fly you to the end of the stage. Super Mario Galaxy this isn't.
End game material includes "remixed" versions of the original eight worlds, with ramped up difficulty and no easy outs. This prolongs the replay value of the game for the diehard fan but once tackled, there's not much left to explore. The game controls well, as all Mario titles do, the graphics are predictably colorful and the more gimmicky aspects, like moving the 3DS to aim a cannon, can be ignored or turned off.
Playing a Mario game is automatic fun. For those who grew up in the 8 bit age, there are certain rules ingrained in our DNA: coins should be collected, Goombas must be stomped and the distinctive ping of a 1-UP is music to our ears. While there isn't much challenge to be had in the main campaign, Super Mario 3D Land is a breezy, engaging and completely enjoyable foray into the 3D capabilities of the 3DS. Like its Game Boy predecessor from 25 years ago, it may not be the best offering on the system but it's a ton of fun in its own predictable way.

The Heart Of A Mother - Poem by ramesh rai
Eventually he decided to prove
he was a true lover of this world
as he is a loving son of his mother
he would do for his beloved
what world had never done
when he was put on a test
by his beloved, if he was so
a great lover of this world
to bring his mother's heart
for whole hearted satisfaction.
This made him worried
from all corners of his life
but could not stop rather than being a betrayer for the life.
So, he went to his mother and
asked with his gloomy face
when his heart and mind both
were disdaining for his evil deed
Mom! you have made a great sacrifice
for my satisfaction, for my well being
would you do once more
to make my life worthy and
save me from being called a betrayer.
Mom's heart was very fragile
unable to see his weeping face
Her heart burst up with tears
to listen his pitiful voice
What happened? what happened?
My son! i can giveup my life
for all pleasures in your life
He wept bitterly but was constrained
Mom! Mom!
my beloved has asked for your heart
if i loved her so much.
you gave me life, brought me up
i can not live without you
i can not survive without her too.
Mom had to cross the fire examination
for survival of her maternity
to fulfill all desires of his son.
She wiped off her tears and
became ready to give her heart
for all pleasures of his son
to make his life full of gay.
He took a knife and cut out her heart
the heart to which he was clinged days and nights
the heart which could realise each resonance of his heart
Carrying her heart on his palms
he was going to meet the destnation
his every step was being driven by mother earth
to bring pleasures in a son's life
as if when she is ploughed
her heart never cares
what is flowing from her heart
is it milk or it is blood, after all
she is tolerating to make her sons
stronger and stronger with blessings
for a long and a long life
The son was going and going and going
taking his mother's heart on his palm
as if the heart was kissing the palm
with her full cares and affection
and blooming like a morning flower
kissing the first ray of sun.
Suddenly he stumbled with a stone
the heart of the mother cried out
oh my son! oh my son!
Did you get hurt?

USF Head football coach Willie Taggart and the Bulls staff continue to build a wall around Tampa Bay - racking in loads of talent in the area.
Four of the eight 2014 verbal commitments call the 813 or 727 home right now - and USF hopes to build on this recent success.
The recruits in the Tampa area - as well as all over the state - are taking a major interest in Taggart and the rest of the staff. They're players coaches - exactly who you want to play for if you're a 16 or 17 year old kid.
USF is doing a terrific job evaluating the local talent - and we expect bigger things to come for USF recruiting the area. The wall around Tampa is being built.
There are a few under-the-radar type kids that Runningthebulls.com is keeping a close tab on - as we think they are possible USF students moving forward.
Lakewood (Fla.) WR Jocqui Ellison
Ellison recently worked out for the USF coaches along with other local talent. Ellison was simply put - a stud and the best player there.
Jocqui Ellison has all the intangibles you want in a receiver. His route running is excellent - he drives off of his plant foot and his acceleration out of his cuts are excellent. He locates the ball with precision and has soft hands.
Ellison does not have the most prototypical size, but more than makes up for it in other areas. Only thing we see that he needs to improve is his take off - he has a false step in his take off - fixing it could make him even more explosive off the ball.
Looking at his tape from his junior year - he is explosive in the return game as well. Ellison's breakaway speed is eye-popping as well. Just to compare his game to a well known player - my personal opinion would be Tavon Austin.

Wauchula (Fla.) Hardee Senior OG Luke Palmer
Luke Palmer's size is the first thing that jumps out at you - with him being 6-foot-4 279-pound. Palmer was at the USF spring game and has been in contact with Offensive Line Coach Walt Wells.
Marshall was his first FBS offer and now has a total of seven offers. One of those offers is from a BCS school - and that just happens to be Clemson.
Palmer is a two-star Rivals recruit that caught they eye of the Clemson coaching staff - and we expect USF to follow suit.
Tampa (Fla.) Wharton DE/LB Antonio Joseph
Antonio Joseph is freak athlete that you don't see too often. Joseph is 6-foot-5 195-pounds - has the strength to fight off offensive lineman and make plays in the backfield - and has the speed to chase down punt returners from behind.
Joseph rushes off the edge and lays the wood on opposing quarterbacks. Joseph also has the athleticism to play linebacker - he even played in the secondary earlier in his high school days.
Joseph holds a Western Kentucky offer - a USF offer could be one that Joseph sees before it's all said and done.
