It is a lovely piece but i cant help but feel that her head is quite large.
With the way her head is facing the bulk of the back of her cranium should be facing away so there wouldnt be that much volume to her hair and since you can tell that it isint teased or anything that it should fall closer to her neck. So shaving down the hair line and showing a reverse "S" curve to elude that the neck is under there would work imo.
Her mouth is to low i believe and i think it would be at an angle like ^ but not as extreme and softened.
The head/hairband seems unrealistic to me.
good work and id love to see the finished product.

Haunting the Princess of Pink since 20/07/11...
Wonderful news!
This is great news Thanks for sharing, Really!
Common sense prevailed. Yay!!
Who wants to watch rich people eat pizza? They must have loved that in Bangladesh. - Randy Newman on the 2014 Oscars broadcast
So glad to hear this news - it would have been such a shame to lose it.
This is great news. I was privileged to be able to be coach at the Glenora as a guest coach on numerous occasions (something that didn't happen lightly) in the late 80s and early 90s. The Glenora was an awesome breeding ground for so many Canadian and indeed US champions (Kristi). Everyone was alive with ideas, sharing information and supporting each other. It was fabulous and how coaching should happen. Jan and Cynthia Ullmark have to rank up there for me as some of the best. I will never forget watching Cynthia teach a beginner the mechanics of learning a back spin. She would then go on to coaching one of the top skaters and all her students were treated with the same respect and attention. Pure gold. Jan Ullmark is the same, always knew his stuff and was always willing to impart his knowledge. Love them both. What struck me most was the level of caring and sharing by the coaches, which flowed on to the athletes. Bonds and memories were made that are precious. God it was fun - and productive.
Great news!
It would have been awful to lose a club with such an iconic place in skating.

Red Sox win WS title, beat Cards 6-1 in Game 6Wednesday, 30 October 2013 23:07 Published in Sports
BOSTON (AP) -- There hasn't been a party like this in New England for nearly a century.
Turmoil to triumph. Worst to first.
David Ortiz and the Boston Red Sox, baseball's bearded wonders, capped their remarkable turnaround by beating the St. Louis Cardinals 6-1 in Game 6 on Wednesday night to win their third World Series championship in 10 seasons.
Shane Victorino, symbolic of these resilient Sox, returned from a stiff back and got Boston rolling with a three-run double off the Green Monster against rookie sensation Michael Wacha.
John Lackey became the first pitcher to start and win a Series clincher for two different teams, allowing one run over 6 2-3 innings 11 years after his Game 7 victory as an Angels rookie in 2002.
With fans roaring on every pitch and cameras flashing, Koji Uehara struck out Matt Carpenter for the final out. The Japanese pitcher jumped into the arms of catcher David Ross while Red Sox players rushed from the dugout and bullpen as the Boston theme "Dirty Water" played on the public-address system.
"I say I work inside a museum, but this is the loudest the museum's been in a long time," outfielder Jonny Gomes said.
And the Red Sox didn't have to fly the trophy home. For the first time since Babe Ruth's team back in 1918, Boston won the title at Fenway Park. The 101-year-old ballpark, oldest in the majors, was packed with 38,447 singing, shouting fans anticipating a celebration 95 years in the making.
There wasn't the cowboy-up comeback charm of "The Idiots" from 2004, who swept St. Louis to end an 86-year title drought. There wasn't that cool efficiency of the 2007 team that swept Colorado.
This time, they were Boston Strong - playing for a city shaken by the marathon bombings in April.
After late-season slumps in 2010 and 2011, the embarrassing revelations of a chicken-and-beer clubhouse culture that contributed to the ouster of manager Terry Francona, and the daily tumult of Bobby Valentine's one-year flop, these Red Sox grew on fans.
Just like the long whiskers on the players' faces, starting with Gomes' scruffy spring training beard.
"As soon as we went to Fort Myers, the movie's already been written," Gomes said. "All we had to do was press play, and this is what happened."
Ortiz, the only player remaining from the 2004 champs, was the MVP after a Ruthian World Series. He batted .688 (11 for 16) with two homers, six RBIs and eight walks - including four in the finale - for a .760 on-base percentage in 25 plate appearances.
Even slumping Stephen Drew delivered a big hit in Game 6, sending Wacha's first pitch of the fourth into the right-center bullpen.
By the time the inning was over, RBI singles by Mike Napoli and Victorino had made it 6-0, and the Red Sox were on their way.
And now, all over New England, from Connecticut's Housatonic River up to the Aroostook in Maine, Boston's eighth championship can be remembered for the beard-yanking bonding.
The win capped an emotional season for the Red Sox, one heavy with the memory of the events that unfolded on Patriots Day, when three people were killed and more than 260 wounded in bombing attacks at the Boston Marathon. The Red Sox wore "Boston Strong" logos on their left sleeves and erected a large emblem on the Green Monster as a constant reminder.
A "B Strong" logo was mowed into center-field grass at Fenway.
"All those that were affected in the tragedy - Boston Strong!" Victorino said.
Red, white and blue fireworks fired over the ballpark as Commissioner Bud Selig presented the World Series trophy to Red Sox owners John Henry, Tom Werner and Larry Lucchino, leaving a smoky haze over the field.
"It was an awesome atmosphere here tonight," Lackey said.
Among the players blamed for the indifferent culture at the end of the Francona years, Lackey took the mound two days shy of the second anniversary of his elbow surgery and got his first Series win since the 2002 clincher. He pitched shutout ball into the seventh, when Carlos Beltran's RBI single ended the Cardinals' slump with runners in scoring position at 0 for 14.
Junichi Tazawa came in with the bases loaded and retired Allen Craig on an inning-ending grounder to first. Brandon Workman followed in the eighth and Uehara finished.
St. Louis had been seeking its second title in three seasons, but the Cardinals sputtered. Symbolic of the team's struggles, reliever Trevor Rosenthal tripped while throwing a pitch to Ortiz in the eighth, balking Dustin Pedroia to second.
Pedroia had brought back memories of Carlton Fisk's 1975 Game 6-winning home run, sending a first-inning drive about 10 feet foul of the Green Monster foul pole - and waving his left arm once to try to urge the ball fair as he came out of the batter's box.
Lackey escaped a two-on, none-out jam in the second when he retired Matt Adams and David Freese on flyouts and, after a wild pitch, struck out Jon Jay.
Boston wasted a similar threat in the bottom half, then went ahead on the third.
Jacoby Ellsbury singled leading off and went to second on Pedroia's grounder. Ortiz was intentionally walked, Napoli struck out and Gomes was hit above the left elbow with a pitch, loading the bases.
Victorino, wearing red, white and blue spikes with an American flag motif, had been 0 for 10 in the Series and missed the previous two games with a bad back.
Dropped from second to sixth in the batting order, he took two balls and a called strike, then turned on a 93 mph fastball and sent it high off the Green Monster, the 37-foot-high wall in left. Gomes slid home as Yadier Molina took Matt Holliday's one-hop throw and applied the tag, then argued with plate umpire Jim Joyce.
Victorino, pumped with emotion, went to third on the throw and pounded his chest with both fists three times.
After Drew's homer, Lance Lynn relieved Wacha with two on, and RBI singles by Napoli and Victorino boosted Boston's lead to 6-0. Wacha entered 4-0 with a 1.00 ERA in his postseason career but gave up six runs, five hits and four walks in 3 2-3 innings, the shortest start of the 22-year-old's big league career.
"They came up here and prepared and jumped on him, and got the big hits when they needed to," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said.
Boston was a 30-1 underdog to win the World Series last winter but joined the 1991 Minnesota Twins as the only teams to win titles one season after finishing in last place. Now, the Red Sox will raise another championship flag before their home opener next season April 4 against Milwaukee.
The Red Sox had not played a Series Game 6 since that infamous night at New York's Shea Stadium in 1986, when Bill Buckner allowed Mookie Wilson's 10th-inning roller to get through his legs. And there had not been one at Fenway since Fisk's 12th-inning home run off the foul pole atop the Green Monster.
Following consecutive late-season skids, the Red Sox parted with Francona at the end of the 2011 season and reports emerged of players drinking beer and eating fried chicken in the clubhouse during games.
Valentine took over as manager, injuries caused Boston to use a club-record 56 players, and the Red Sox skidded to a 69-93 record, their poorest since 1965.
John Farrell, Boston's pitching coach from 2007-10, was hired after a pair of seasons as Toronto's manager.
A roster turnover began in August 2012 when Adrian Gonzalez, Josh Beckett, Carl Crawford and their big-money contracts were traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers in a deal that saved Boston just more than $261.66 million through 2018. The Red Sox restocked during the offseason by signing seven major league free agents for contracts of three years or fewer at a total of $100.45 million: Victorino, Napoli, Gomes, Drew, Uehara, Ryan Dempster and Ross.
After losing closers Joel Hanrahan and Andrew Bailey to injuries early in the season, the Red Sox remained relatively healthy: Seventeen players wound up on the DL, down from 27. They finished 97-65 - matching St. Louis for the best record in the major leagues - and made the playoffs for the first time since 2009. They also became the first team since the 2005 Cardinals to navigate the season without losing more than three in a row.
After falling behind 2-1, the Red Sox closed with three straight wins over St. Louis in a Series that featured a couple of crazy finishes and game-turning calls.
"Our guys have played real hard," Matheny said. "A lot to be proud of."
State Supreme Court rules against awarding survivor benefits to Highway Patrolman's partnerWednesday, 30 October 2013 08:02 Published in Local News
The Missouri Supreme Court issued a decision yesterday denying the long-term, same-sex partner of a Missouri Highway patrolman survivor pension benefits.
Cpl. Dennis Engelhard died on Christmas Day in 2009 when he was struck by a vehicle while investigating a traffic accident on Interstate 44 in Eureka.
Missouri offers a payment to the surviving spouse of a Highway Patrol officer killed in the line of duty.
But the statute governing survivor benefits defines marriage as between a man and woman. Missouri also has a prohibition on same-sex marriage in the state Constitution.
Engelhard's partner, Kelly Glossip, did not receive the benefit and argued that the state violated the equal-protection clause of the state constitution.
The Supreme Court, in a 5-2 ruling, concluded Glossip is ineligible for survivor benefits because the two were not married — not because Glossip is gay.
The ruling states that the fact the two could not be married in Missouri is not relevant.
Steen's late goal lifts Blues over Jets 3-2Tuesday, 29 October 2013 23:31 Published in Sports
ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Alexander Steen scored a power-play goal with 59.4 seconds left to break a tie and Jaroslav Halak made 21 saves to lead the St. Louis Blues to a 3-2 win over the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday night.
The Blues, who won their second in a row, have recorded points in five successive games. Winnipeg has lost five of six. The Jets finish a four-game road trip with a 1-2-1 mark.
The Jets beat St. Louis 4-3 in a seven-round shootout on Oct. 18 in Winnipeg. Halak improved to 7-1-1. He is 5-2 lifetime in seven starts against Winnipeg.
Brenden Morrow and Alex Pietrangelo also scored for the Blues, who improved to 5-1-1 at home. Bryan Little and Blake Wheeler tallied for the Jets.
Steen scored his league-leading 11th goal off a pass from Jay Bouwmeester. Steen has goals in each of his last five games. Little tied the game 2-2 at 10:27 of the third period with a shorthanded goal. He tipped in a pass from Andrew Ladd, who finished with two assists.
Pietrangelo wristed a shot behind goalie Ondrej Pavelec at 4:16 of the final period to give the Blues a 2-1 cushion. It was Pietrangelo's second goal of the season and only his 31st in 234 games covering six seasons.
The Blues jumped in front 1-0 on Morrow's goal early in the first period off the rebound of a shot by Ryan Reaves.
Winnipeg tied the game on the goal by Wheeler at 11:20 of the first period. The Jets broke an 0-for-26 power-play drought with the two-man advantage. Wheeler converted on a rebound of a shot by Ladd for the Jets first power-play goal in nine games.
Notes: The Blues are 6-0-1 when scoring first. ... Winnipeg D Paul Postma will be sidelined up to two months with a blood clot in his leg. ... The Jets were playing in St. Louis for the first time since April 8, 1996 when the teams tied 2-2. ... Winnipeg LW Evander Kane played in his 275th. NHL game. ... The Jets have played 14 games in October, the busiest month in franchise history.

Biography / Administrative history
The Refugee Status Advisory Committee was established by the Immigration Act of 1976 (S.C. 1976-77 c. 52 s. 48), for the purpose of advising the Minister in respect of any case where a person claims to be a Convention refugee. A Convention refugee refers to any person who is a refugee according to the United Nations Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees signed at Geneva 28 July 1951: a person who, by reason of a well-founded fear of persecution for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group or political opinion, either (a) is outside the country of his or her nationality and is unable or, by reason of such fear, is unwilling to avail him or herself of the protection of that country, or (b) not having a country of nationality, is outside the country of former habitual residence and is unable or, by reason of such fear, is unwilling to return to that country. The Immigration Act of 1976 was proclaimed on 10 April 1978, and the Refugee Status Advisory Committee became operational that same month. The Act included several clauses specifying how refugee status was to be determined (S.C. 1976-77 c. 52 s. 45-48). If a person claiming to be a Convention refugee would otherwise be issued a removal order or departure notice, his or her claim, made under oath, along with a transcript of the examination was to be referred to the Minister for a determination. The Minister would then refer the claim and the examination transcript to the Refugee Status Advisory Committee for a recommendation.
In the Department of Employment and Immigration's Annual Report from 1978-1979, the task of the Refugee Status Advisory Committee (RSAC) was stated as follows: to examine all claims to refugee status within Canada, ensuring that no person claiming refugee status was deported in contravention of the provisions of the United Nations Convention. Between 1979 and 1985 RSAC received between 1100 and 5101 claims of refugee status yearly. In the Department's Annual Report from 1978-1979, it was noted that RSAC refered cases of persons not considered to be refugees according to the United Nations Convention definition to a special review committee to determine if there were compassionate or humanitarian reasons for allowing them to remain in Canada as refugees. Persons found to be refugees were normally permitted to remain in Canada as permanent residents. In cases of negative decisions, claimants could apply to the Immigration Appeal Board for a re-determination of their claim. Through the 1980s, the determination of refugee status in Canada was the subject of ministerial attention. On 18 November 1981, the Minister released a Task Force report on the Determination of Refugee Status in Canada. As a result of that report, the composition, structure and operational procedures of the RSAC were amended. The RSAC became independent of the Canada Employment and Immigration Commission, in the sense that RSAC was to report directly to the Minister through its Chairman. By May 1982 the restructuring of RSAC subsequent to the report was completed. Later that year the RSAC moved into premises physically separate from the Canada Employment and Immigration Commission. Ministerial attention to the procedures used in refugee determination continued, however. In 1983 the Minister appointed Professor Ed Ratushy (Director of Human Rights Eduation and Research Centre) to advise on the determination of refugee status; in 1984, the Minister appointed Rabbi W. Gunthe Plaut to propose ways of enhancing the refugee determination system. Throughout the 1980s, the claims received each year that the Committee was unable to address was of special concern. By 1 April 1986 there were 3526 claims labelled "backlog." The backlog, combined with the finding of the Supreme Court of Canada in Singh et al. v Canada (Minister of Employment and Immigration) ([1985] 1 S.C.R. 177), contributed to the dissolution of both the Refugee Status Advisory Committee and the Immigration Appeal Board, and to the eventual creation of the Immigration and Refugee Board.
The merger of the Refugee Status Advisory Committee and the Immigration Appeal Board, into the new Immigration and Refugee Board, involved procedural and institutional changes spanning 1986, 1987, and 1988. The Minister made an announcement on the new Refugee Determination System on 21 May 1986. As of that date, all cases in the refugee determination backlog qualified for a case-by-case administrative review, while all claimants arriving in Canada after that date received refugee determination under a new process known as "fast track." A Task Force was established in conjunction with those changes, and was responsible for all aspects of the revised refugee determination system, including drafting legislative changes, transitional politices, and training. The legislation to merge the Immigration Appeal Board with the RSAC was introduced in 1986, but it was not until 1988 that Parliament amended the Immigration Act of 1976 through Bill C-55 to create the new Immigration and Refugee Board. The Refugee Status Advisory Committee was officially disbanded as of 31 December 1988. The new Immigration and Refugee Board was officially created 1 January 1989. One of the divisions of the new Immigration and Refugee Board was the Convention Refugee Determination Division.

A fun, fuzzy ride
'Muppets Most Wanted' worthy of its franchise
Do Muppets sleep? It's hard to say.
They don't really eat (or breathe, as far as anyone can tell). And only occasionally do they have visible, functioning legs.
As far as anyone knows, sleeping might be off the table. And that makes it very hard to accuse the Muppets of sleepwalking through their latest feature, Muppets Most Wanted – even if that's exactly what's going on.
Jim Henson's beloved creations were back in a big way after 2011's The Muppets, with fame and fortune and even an Oscar, a first for the group ("Rainbow Connection" was nominated, yet somehow failed to collect at the '79 ceremony). > Read more.

744cc, 48bhp, 120mph, Insurance group 14
The new Moto Guzzi Café Classic is a café racer version of the V7 Classic retro roadster warmly received last year. Powered by Guzzi's small block 750 Nevada V-twin powertrain in an old school twin shock chassis, it's a dinky, cute runaround and almost embarassingly toy-like for anyone over 5'10". But what makes it great is how beautifully and classily ...

Grayson, GA - Four-year-old, Holden Parker is busy making a list for Santa…but it is not just for himself. Holden asked his mother if they can collect toys for boys and girls in the children's hospitals that he spent so much time in as an infant. Although the family collected and distributed hundreds of toys to children at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Egleston last year, the family had not planned to do it again this year.
However, "Having my own child ask if we could take toys again this year to these sick children completely warmed my heart" said Holden's mother Christine Parker. "We gladly said yes and we'd love to be able to make this annual event. We understand how scary and painful it can be to have a sick child in the hospital. Maybe this is a way for us to support other families who are going through one of the most challenging times in their lives. We hope in addition to spreading some holiday cheer, that we can give them hope by sharing Holden's story."
The family will be collecting toys between now and December 17th and will deliver to the hospitals on December 18. The family hopes to collect more donations this year so they can also take toys to the children at CHOA Scottish Rite. Anyone interested in participating in the toy drive can send toys, gift cards, batteries, DVDs, CDs, stuffed animals or checks (made out to CHOA) to:
P.O. Box 1001
Grayson, GA 30017

Holden's Story
Holden Parker knows from his own personal experience what it is like to spend time in a hospital. His mother recounts the story!
I feel like my family has been blessed with a second chance. In 2008, our son Holden was born extremely sick. He had heart defects, his lungs had not fully formed, he had pulmonary hypertension and he had severe reflux. At 10 weeks old he came home from the hospital on oxygen, a feeding pump and a heart monitor. During one of our many hospital visits doctors determined that he had pulmonary vein stenosis. They explained that it was inoperable and in most cases was fatal. They said they did not know if he had "two days, two weeks, two months, two years or two decades." The words cut like a knife.
I prayed like I had never prayed before. I asked God for a miracle. I asked anyone who would listen...to pray for Holden. Even in the darkest of hours, I heard a voice telling me everything was going to be alright. It was that voice that gave me the faith and strength that I needed for myself, my family and my son. Today, Holden is 4 1/2 years old and is doing amazingly well. He's off the oxygen (which doctors said he'd need indefinitely), he's off his feeding pump and he's off all medications. He is truly a miracle.
I share this story because I feel like we've been to hell and back...and I'm so grateful to have made it to where we are today. But I saw how dark those days can get. There were hours when I was scared that he might not make it to see the sun rise. But through it all I had FAITH. I honestly can't imagine going through this journey without it. I am in the process of writing a book about our experience. I hope we can inspire others to believe, even amidst what seems impossible. Have FAITH. If not in God, have faith in something. Have Faith in yourself...or simply in that things WILL get better. Keep HOLDEN Faith!

Clementino, ya no me quiere
(New to the Clementino saga? Start at the beginning.)
With my supply of Bubu Lubus at dangerously low levels, and my attempts to find another local dealer of my favorite Mexican candy having failed, I swallowed my pride and found myself outside Clementino's store. Weeks had passed since our last encounter – since the day he had gotten into a shouting match with my husband. Carlos granted me permission to go to the store on the condition that I "act like una mujer casada and not like a school girl." … Fair enough.
The bells on the door tinkling behind me, I went inside the small dimly lit store. As I got in line behind a little woman wiring money, Clementino looked up and smiled. There on the counter top sat the familiar blue box full of Bubu Lubus – his previous threat to no longer sell them had only been a bluff meant to make me feel badly for not accepting his piropo.
The woman in front of me shuffled out of the store and I approached the counter.
"Buenas tardes," I said.
"Buenas tardes…¿Qué quieres?" he asked in a friendly way, lifting his chin toward me.
"Cinco dólares en Bubu Lubus," I said, looking at the box.
"Cinco dólares…en… Bubu Lubus," he repeated, taking the box down and counting them out on the counter.
I thought about saying something, about asking why he had been so rude to my husband that day – but what acceptable excuse could there be? I asked no questions and he offered no apologies. The unspoken thing sat between us like an unseemly fence between good neighbors.
After a moment passed, Clementino cleared his throat. Breaking the silence, he finally said what was on both our minds.
"Estás enojada conmigo."
"No, no estoy enojada," I replied, immediately chastising myself for being too nice.
"Sí, estás enojada," Clementino insisted, "porque ya no vienes a visitarme como antes."
"Bueno, estoy un poco enojada," I said. He lifted his eyes from the counter top and looked at me.
Before he could say anything and before I could lose my courage, I forced myself to say what I knew I should.
"Portaste muy mal con mi esposo," I said, tsking him.
"No," he said shaking his head.
"Sí," Now it is I who insists. "Sí, portaste mal."
Clementino switches to English as he slides my debit card through the machine.
"Your husband said I sold the phone cards to him but I didn't," he said meekly. "You came that day – not your husband. I never saw your husband that day. Maybe he bought the cards from my wife, but he said I sold them to him, and I didn't."
"Yes, you did. Yo estaba en el carro cuándo él venia a comprarlas. Bien recuerdo que fue tú."
Clementino shakes his head, puts the receipt and pen on the counter. I sign while he puts the Bubu Lubus into a small, black plastic bag.
He holds the bag hostage as he tells me, "He came with your mother-in-law. Your mother-in-law always has problems with the phone cards – nobody else. If she was a more regular customer, I would care, but she only comes for the phone cards and to cause problems. N'hombre. I don't care about her."
I'm not sure what he expects me to say. If he doesn't like my Suegra, I don't care either – that didn't give him the right to yell at my husband that day. I look at Clementino. He doesn't apologize. Qué terco. He shrugs as he hands me the bag.
"Okay then," I say, sighing. "Hasta luego."
He lifts his chin in my direction and mumbles "hasta luego."
Standing on the sidewalk in front of the store, blinking against the bright afternoon sunlight, I feel a little like a deflated balloon. It's obvious, Clementino ya no me quiere… this is a good thing… but I was so hoping we could go back to being friends. Maybe that will happen again some day, but we aren't there yet.

Clementino must have a twin!! Can you check? Or he's schizophrenic?!?
It's always the suegra's fault!
Telenovela de Latinaish….
Clementino = Bipolar with a hint of Alzheimer.
Find a new Bubu Lu provider my friend.
Y qué fue eso de que suegra no es "regular" y por eso le vale como cliente? Un grano de arroz que ella vaya a comprar la hace una cliente y por ende MERECE buen servicio y buen trato.
TARADO ese Clementino!
Asi estás mejor Tracy! Para qué quieres a un pelado (grosero) diciéndote cosas y molestando a tu familia? Besides, I´m sure you have some other admirers that you don´t even know of yet, no?
Clementino se le pierde! Y tu, tu ganas el cuidado y las atenciones de tu esposo, amigas que te mandan Bubu Lubus y muchas buenas historias para contar!
Un abrazote!
Verdad SUE!!! Que compre los Bubus somewhere else!
I found 2 sites you might be interested in:
It's available on Amazon @
Check out these ringtones…it so sounds like it would be good for you! :) http://www.bubulubu.com/2010/
Also, some blogs have a donate button on the right, if people were so inclined….maybe you could put one up and folks could donate to your addiction?!?
By the way…What are bubu lubus?
I agree with Mama, doubtful that its over. He'll be butthurt for a day and then he'll be all schmoozy again. That's how married men work, as they really have very limited options. I'm proud of your honesty, I have a hard time admitting I like the attention.
Lmbo @ all of the comments! Perhaps Clementino is a Gemini? lol I think this awkwardness will pass with time. Hopefully the worst is over. However, I don't think he has entirely given up his love for you…it just seems his ego is a little bruised right now. I think he try to win you back again when you least expect it. Enjoy those Bubu Lubus while you can ; ) You have me wanting to try them now. I'll have to look for a supplier around me.
Bueno, at least you still have the Bubu Lubus!
ke cabron! lol U are too much of a coqueta Tracy….jajajaj i always get excited to read ur Clementino stories… its like my blogera novela!
Treisi no te aguites por el Clementino! No vale la pena, jajaja! For a minute there I thought you were going to defend Suegra from his attack…like they do in those sitcoms when one person can't stand another, but when a third person talks bad about them they stick up for them, and realize they really do like them more than they'd care to admit…but then again that's just my imagination running away from me! Toda una novela el cuento de Treisi, Clementino, Carlos and Suegra :-)
No Bubu Lubus and no Clementino? I disagree with most of the comments above! I think you need to continue going just to have this amazing writing material (and some bubu lubus you deserve).
Clementino la está jugando bien. Se nos está haciendo el interesante nada más para picarte, mi Traisy!
Aaah good one Ana! Si es cierto, es más material pa la novela. Pero nomás que no ande de pasadito este tipo si no va a ser un duelo Carlos vs Clementino… y no sé porqué presiento que el Clemen ha de ser mucho ruido para una pistolita (de agua!).
My male admirers are few and far between, so I feel very sad for you to have lost one. Even though I KNOW it's inappropriate for a man to have a crush on a married woman such as yourself (and especially be so forward about it) there is a part of me that secretly WANTS that little bit of heat and danger that comes when someone (other than my husband that HAS to like me) finds me attractive! So I am releived there was no bloodshed, but sad the heat is gone too.

December 14th, 2009
How have the housing markets held up in three major cities at the end of a tumultuous year?
December 14th, 2009
MEERUT, India - Sajid, a tileworker from Andhra Pradesh, India, heard Dubai was a kind of paradise: A land of beautiful beaches, clean roads and plenty of high pay. So he did what many of his friends and fellow Indians had done. He paid an agent to fix him a job and went to Dubai.
Indians top the global list of migrant workers: more Indians leave their country to find work and send back money, called remittances, than citizens of any other country. The Indian Government estimates there are over five million Indian workers overseas, with 90 percent of them in the Gulf region. Most of them are considered temporary migrants.
If you travel through the south Indian state of Kerala, it is easy to spot the homes and stores built by remittances. Ask locals where the money comes from, and "Dubai money" is often the answer. Kerala has the greatest number of migrants to that Gulf nation.
Sajid and other locals estimate there were more than 35,000 others who came from their area, looking for a better future. They are from Meerut, a dusty north Indian city that sprawls into house plots being carved from former farmland.
In Dubai, Sajid says he lived in a camp with other workers, where water would run out. He says there was often no cooking gas, so he and his friends would borrow gas from other camps to make their meals. Life was difficult, he said, but for several years, it was fine. He was able to save money and sent it back to his parents, his brothers and sisters, his wife and five children.
About eight months ago, Sajid says, his boss came to him and his fellow workers and told them to work faster. "Do more in less time," Sajid says he was told. Sajid didn't know what was happening but started to realize something was wrong when he saw other workers being 'sent back.'
Then his pay stopped for a month, and then two, until he was owed six months pay.
He and his fellow Muslim workers were told to go home for the festival of Eid and they'd get a lump sum on return. Sajid says they went, believing that they'd be happy to get their money in one chunk. But before he left, he was told to sign a paper in English. He couldn't read it but says he thought it was a form for his leave.
While home for Eid, he got a call saying his visa was cancelled since he'd resigned. It was then Sajid understood he'd been tricked into signing a resignation form. Sajid has heard nothing since that phone call, and doubts he'll get his money.
His father Shahabuddine has had to sell his land in Meerut to pay debts, including payments on the more than $2,000 that was owed to the agent that sent Sajid to Dubai.
Sajid has been trying to find local tilework – the only trade he knows – but says work in Meerut will only pay enough for him and his family to live from day to day.
In spite of his bad experience, Sajid says, he'd go back to Dubai if the work picked up. For Sajid, and millions of other Indians, a place like Dubai is still the best hope for a better future.

I've seriously considered re-purposing IKEA linen curtains as bedsheets, but then it's turned out that they don't sell real linen items online to Canada. Drag. (I've owned Libeco sheets and they were wonderful, but so $$$!)
Still, when nights are sweltering hot, nothing beats linen fibre bedsheets. If anyone knows where one can get bargains on this, let the rest of us know!

Campus Strictness:
I don't stay on campus
I have my own car but transportation is there if you need it.
I don't know I'm forty so I don't go to any parties
Local Atmosphere:
I live in the city so no problems for me
Campus Housing:
I don't live on campus but the dorms that I have come In contact with seem to be very suitable
Greek Life:
I have no issues or concerns
prepares you for the day very helpful
They are always open when ever we need it
Campus Strictness:
I have never come across any violations, but others have. The campus is very strict on drinking since we are a dry campus. There are fines and and meetings you have to attend, but it does not affect your academic life. Campus police are inconsistent when it comes to parking. Students will park in 20 minute parking but rarely be ticketed and I rarely see them searching through the commuter and resident lots.
Off-Campus Housing:
I am living in a house next year with two of my current roommates and the process has been relatively easy. There are plenty of off campus housing options, from apartments, duplexes and actual houses. They can be a block behind campus or ten minutes away and they are all decently priced.
Local Atmosphere:
I absolutely love being in Indianapolis. I have been a die hard Colts fan my whole life, so being able to experience downtown when there are home games is incredible. There is always something to do and it has a big city look but a small town feel. It's perfect.
Campus Housing:
I am lucky enough to live on the Honors floor, which is in an upperclassmen dorm. I have a large suite and my own bathroom, so my dorm situation is awesome. The floor isn't that social, however, so I don't do much with the floor. We do have some activities all together occasionally.
Guys & Girls:
I have met some of the greatest people and made awesome friends while being at school. My social life is pretty active and as far as rating the opposite sex, I have a boyfriend who plays football here. He is pretty great.
Health & Safety:
There is little campus crime and the campus police have always been willing to help if asked.
We have one of the best D2 athletes and teams in the country. The athletes work hard and the coaches are great, but the student spirit could use a little improving.
Health & Safety:
I think that we have had our issues with our police although that is now resolved and we can be proactive rather than reactive. I know I feel safe.
I do not think weather really affects our campus. We live in Indiana, I feel like the weather is too bipolar to be an issue.
Overall Experience:
I have had an amazing experience with this university over the last 4 years. I am more than satisfied and if I had to do it all over again I would do the same.
Off-Campus Housing:
I lucked out with my off campus housing. There are neighborhoods surrounding the University that many students occupy. There is campus apartments and apartments near campus but there is a struggle to find housing that is of higher quality close to campus.
Off-Campus Dining:
There is just about anything you want or are looking for here in Indianapolis. There is all prices and any cuisine you are looking for.
This University is very diverse with it's majors. We have a huge Health Plex on its way and we take pride in our standings. There is accreditation, out standing faculty and staff, and the advising is remarkable.
I would not have it any other way. My program has offered the best life experience and the most opportunity to network and learn the skills I will need to become successful.
If you are 21 it is the best! However if you are not, there is not a lot to do. There aren't many parties and the nightlife is weak.
We have plenty of money that is involved with our athletics. We have great talent with our athletes but I do not see it to overshadow academics. There are many athletes that make a good name for our school.
Local Atmosphere:
Indianapolis always has something to offer with entertainment and attractions. There is always crime in the city but I do not feel unsafe. There is a lot to offer for jobs and opportunity as this is the state's capital.

Sample Septic Tank Services Reviews
"I tried to describe the problem to the answering service person. The company technician called me back and I again tried to describe the problem. We knew the blockage was between the house and the tank and that the tank did not need to be pumped out. I did not realize this company only pumps tanks and does not do line work and neither the answering service person or the Company technician asked enough questions to understand the problem. The driver arrived and immediately told us he couldn't do anything with our problem...and charged us $243 for the trip charge and after hours call for doing nothing. I called the next day and spoke to the owner. She was not particularly sympathetic but she did agree that her technician should have done a better job of understanding the problem. Despite that acknowledgement, she would not give me any discount on the cost of the service.
I would not use them ever again.
I would not use them ever again.
"I called about noontime and the company was at the house by 1pm. They were very efficient and had the job completed in a little more than an hour (even with 2six year olds asking numerous questions etc). They made sure that everything was in working order before the tank was closed. The hole was filled in with the dirt that they had set aside on tarps and the sod was replaced. Everything was very neat when they left. I have no complaints and would highly recommends them. "
"Friendly scheduling, reasonable pricing ($25 off Angie's List coupon a bonus) and prompt service. The two young guys that came out to pump our tank called ahead as requested, arrived as promised, listened to our concerns and got right to work. They inspected all aspects of our tank and pumping system and cleaned the filter, which was clogged and creating the problem that we were having. We didn't even know that we had a filter as the last company that we used neglected to even open that hatch and pump that segment of our tank. We were very pleased with the work performed, and the guys were hard working and friendly. We will use "
"Our hatch was frozen shut. The operator tried to open it. Asked us to put heat on it and given him a call back. He didn't charge us for the extra trip and was very nice both trips out.
"No work was performed. The reviews sound great for this company, but they don't service
"Arrived early, was clean, professional, knowledgeable, didnt try and pressure me into any other services.
"fine. I've typed all this before, but Angies List somehow mixed up my review with someone else's, and then wrote to me several times saying I made a mistake...something about getting windows installed. Weird. Anyways, these guys do a great job. Angies list, not so much.
"We found out we needed a new drainfield for our septic, so we looked on Angie's list. loss of landscaping. "

Again we are faced with the senseless killing of innocent people, and for what reason?
Immediately in times like these, people start making rash statements about how such horrendous acts of violence can be stopped. Will gun control stop such violence? Will banning the sale of fertilizer prevent another Timothy McVeigh from building a bomb and blowing up a building and killing hundreds? Or will banning airplanes prevent another terrorist attack that could kill thousands?

Moveable Magnets Used to Do Minimally Invasive Gastric Bypass SurgeryPosted: Monday, May 28, 2012
Minimally invasive approach might have applications for weight-loss procedures, diabetes in humans....
In a scenario reminiscent of a science fiction movie, researchers have found a way to perform nearly surgery-free gastric bypass procedures using only a local anesthetic. The procedure, done with moveable magnets, is completed in less than a half-hour, the researchers said, and reroutes the digestive tract without leaving behind any foreign material.
Although the surgery was done on pigs and it may not seem to be "the best model for looking at the resolution of obesity and diabetes," swine who were treated with the new system gained less weight than did the controls, said the study's senior author, Dr. Christopher Thompson.
Thompson, an assistant professor at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, is presenting his findings at the Digestive Disease Week meeting of gastroenterologists in San Diego. Gastric or intestinal bypass surgery is effective treatment against obesity, diabetes and even some cancers, and involves rerouting different parts of the intestine so that certain areas of the digestive tract are no longer needed.
The procedure typically involves invasive surgery, with all its attendant complications and risks.
However, the procedure used in this study is called SAMSEN (for Self-Assembling Magnets for Endoscopy). Here, researchers inserted two magnets via a catheter into the foregut and the hindgut of five pigs. Once inside the intestine, the magnets were manipulated to find each other and "mate" -- squeezing on the unneeded tissue until it died and shriveled away.
Within a few days this method worked to create a surgical bypass (formally called an anastomosis) that connected two previously separate parts of the gastrointestinal tract. Three months after the procedures, these bypasses were still large and open. The procedure, if validated in other animal models and in humans, might someday aid in the fight against obesity, diabetes and even some forms of cancer, the authors stated.
Similar procedures have been tried before but they involved just one magnet, meaning that only small bypasses could be performed. This new system would allow for larger bypasses.
A second study, also being presented at Digestive Disease Week, showed that a tiny endoscope nicknamed the "mermaid" that is propelled by a magnet and a fin could safely travel the entire human digestive tract and provide accurate images of the stomach as well as the small and large intestines. Currently, capsule endoscopies rely on the digestive tract's natural movements to move it through the system. Not only does this process take time, but doctors also cannot control the direction of the camera.
The human volunteer in this study was the study's senior author, 69-year-old Naotake Ohtsuka, president of Mu Ltd., which developed the device. He is also professor emeritus at Ryukoku University in Seta, Japan.
"The device moved safely by itself without injuring our volunteer subject and it took more images than the conventional capsule endoscope," said Ohtsuka. "We conclude that the mermaid will be applied in the clinical diagnosis of the whole digestive tract in the future."

Paige Miles sings in Naples
Former 'Idol' contestant visits alma mater
NAPLES — On March 23, Paige Miles was dejected.
How could she not be? She'd just gone through another round of criticism from the judges on "American Idol," the popular reality sing show on which she was a contestant this spring. They said she'd butchered her version of "Against All Odds."
The judges picked at her song selection, which wasn't her first choice. They knocked her vocal prowess, without knowledge of both a laryngitis issue she'd been struggling with or that her systolic blood pressure had spiked dangerously over 200 despite medication.
But the worst part was that she was starting to believe them.
"I was down on myself, doubting myself," she says nearly three months later. "I lost my confidence. ('Idol' judge Simon Cowell) was right about me being too inside my own head."
The next night, she was booted from the program by the vote of its viewers.
Then a funny thing happened. She let it all go. She stopped worrying about the judges. She stopped babying her voice. She just let it all out.
And she killed it. Her version of Free's "All Right Now" was so spot on, so vocally crisp that it left judge Kara DioGuardi throwing up her hands as if to say "Where the heck has this been hiding."
Then she went on "The Late Show with David Letterman." And she killed again. Her version of Stevie Wonder's "Living for the City," brought out the best in her voice. She could growl and soar, her phrasing flawless. She left Paul Shaffer so stunned in rehearsals he openly wondered on the show what the "Idol" voters were thinking.
Things seemed effortless, and in some respects they were.
"It was just a different world," she says. "Your nerves get the best of you on 'Idol.' But then you are back to just singing in front of people who want to hear you and it's easy again."
"American Idol" has come along way from the first season when a 16-year-old Miles watched as Kelly Clarkson won the title. For one thing, it's become the highest rated non-sports TV show, greatly eclipsing its competitors.
But more importantly, it's become a show less about spotting overwhelming talent and more about showcasing stories. Critics have bemoaned the victories of Kris Allen and Lee Dewyze over more gifted performers like Adam Lambert and Crystal Bowersox.
But both Allen and Dewyze evolved on the show, shedding the shells of their past lives to become viable performers.
Miles never really got the chance to sell herself, and what opportunities she did have seemed superficial.
"I didn't feel comfortable telling my story always," she says. "We all have a story. I was just trying to sing."
While you can respect the personal decision, it could be seen as a tactical error.
While Michael Lynche was playing up the birth of his child, which happened while he was competing, and other contestants' rough upbringings were shared on screen, Miles kept quiet.
She could have revealed how her father was paralyzed in a car accident when she was 2 years old and died when she was 4. She could have talked about her struggles with hypertension, her grandmother's dementia problems or losing family members to cancer.
"I just didn't want to focus on that," she says.
Playing the family tragedy card probably wouldn't have pushed her to the 'Idol' title, but it might have given her sympathy to last a week or two longer. She finished one spot out of the contest's annual summer tour. That probably cost her tens of thousands of dollars in tour salary and promotions, which would have greatly increased the amount of time she can afford to live in Los Angeles to launch a performing career.
But would doing that be worth the psychological pain of talking about her family life in front of 25 million people, especially when the goal isn't to win a singing competition but to become a successful recording artist?
"A story doesn't always sell albums," she says. "I don't want to be a story. I want to be an artist."
And so that is what she has set off to do. After taking a week or so for a Naples sabbatical, Miles is headed back to Los Angeles, where she's been living since January. She's rented an apartment with fellow "Idol" contestant Lacey Brown, a spunky Texan who was eliminated the week before Miles.
Her plan is to spend the summer working on her debut album, which will be released by one of the record labels affiliated with "Idol." The show's 24 semifinalists all sign deals, Miles says. She is also represented by Hollywood super agency CAA, which is helping her audition for possible TV roles.
Miles admits she can't stay in Los Angeles forever without finding work in the entertainment industry, but estimates she can last a year, maybe two to pursue her dream.
"I want to do the work," she says. "This is want I want to do. I'm going to make it happen."
The album will be mostly original numbers, some her own and others written by professional songwriters, in the vein of Tina Turner, the singer she'd most like to emulate. The songs she was allowed to sing on "Idol" she says didn't give her an opportunity to really show what she can do.
"So many times I was singing something I wasn't really comfortable with," she says, citing specifically the number that sent her home.
"A lot of songs I wanted to sing, I couldn't get approved."
With Miles free to make her own choices, listeners can expect an album that sounds a lot like the three-song set she played at Community School of Naples last week. That better encapsulates her style. Miles sang a pretty reverential cover of Stevie Wonder's "Living in the City" and a slightly downtown version of Colbie Caillat's "Bubbly."
But the ending number most positioned Miles as an artist, giving a glimpse of the personality viewers never really got on "American Idol." Her version of "Mercy" by Duffy, a sort of neo-Dusty Springfield, cut out the slightly coy coo of the original in favor of a more manic approach.
On a small stage, in the high school gymnasium where she first got her start, Miles gave the song a blatant desperation, a sort of hunger — the same sort she has for her career.
"I'm serious about making this happen," she says. "I was given a great chance. More than 100,000 people auditioned and I made it all the way to 11.
"That's an opportunity that other people don't have."

Seattle releases WR Sidney Rice, DE Red Bryant
Originally published: Feb 28, 2014 - 2:55 pm
(AP) - Wide receiver Sidney Rice and defensive end Red Bryant were released by the Seattle Seahawks on Friday, giving the Super Bowl champions additional salary cap space as free agency approaches.
Seattle made the expected roster moves official eight days before teams can start speaking with potential free agents. Bryant had spent his entire career with the Seahawks after being a fourth-round draft pick in 2008, while Rice signed as a free agent before the 2011 season.
According to the league's transaction report, Rice was released with a "failed physical" designation.
Both were due hefty salaries in 2014 that didn't necessarily match the production they had shown on the field. Rice had struggled with injuries with the Seahawks and was lost for the 2013 season after Week 8 with a knee injury. Bryant was a unique player as a 300-pound defensive end for the Seahawks, but his playing time had diminished.
Seattle should save more than $12 million in salary cap space with the moves. Rice was due $8.5 million in base salary for 2014 and Bryant $4.5 million.
"We want to thank both Red and Sidney for their effort, commitment and contribution to the Seattle Seahawks over the last few years," Seattle general manager John Schneider said in a statement. "These are extremely tough decisions, but we wanted to give them a head start on free agency. We wish them well in the future."
Both moves were expected to happen and are likely the first in a series that will change the makeup of the Super Bowl champions.
Bryant was one of just four players left from before the arrival of Schneider and head coach Pete Carroll. He was given a new contract during the 2012 offseason, but the emergence of Michael Bennett _ one of Seattle's top free agent priorities _ appeared to make Bryant expendable.
The only players still remaining from the pre-Carroll era are center Max Unger, defensive tackle Brandon Mebane and punter Jon Ryan.
Bryant was also a captain and vocal leader of Seattle's league-best defense. He could be an attractive option in free agency for a team seeking a defensive end that can hold the edge in defending the run in a 3-4 defense.
Rice had not matched the production that came with his big contract, mostly because of injuries. Rice played in 33 games with 31 starts with 97 receptions for 1,463 yards and 12 touchdowns. But his 2011 season was cut short by a concussion and he was unable to finish the 2013 season after suffering an ACL tear in his knee and being placed on injured reserve. Rice led Seattle in receptions (50) and yards receiving (748) during the 2012 season, one of just two seasons in his career that he's played in all 16 regular-season games.
Rice tweeted a goodbye to Seattle fans shortly after his release became official: "The amount of love I have for the (hash)12thman and the (at)Seahawks organization! Thanks for a wonderful experience!"

M-F 7am-11pm, Sat/Sun 8am-11pm
Neighborhoods: West Los Angeles, West LA
The layout of the restaurant is a bit weird, but they make great paninis, freshly squeezed juice and a killer portobello burger sandwiched with meaty mushrooms. The best part? The creamy chunk of avocado. Great for place for studying.
Cool place to get coffee and surprisingly, beer too! But the real selling point is the free Wifi.
Poor Service – How disappointing. My husband and I went here on different occasions, thinking that our first poor experience was a fluke. With its literary theme, hand-written menu, and claim to organic and non-gluten fare, we were really looking forward to an enjoyable experience. But as they say, don't read a book by its cover.
The problem is their inability to get the order right. On our first visit, they completely forgot about my breakfast (which was a plate of fruit), and my husband had to go up and remind them. On the second visit, they got my husband's order wrong and did not correct it. The servers were friendly enough, just incompetent.
Their coffee is average, and they don't offer non-gluten bread, for those on a restricted diet.
Our recommendation: go down the block to Lazy Daisy Cafe for excellent service and delicious, generous portions.
Unprofessional Service! – The matre d was unprofessional and rude. It got so terrible that we actually had to leave the restaurant because of the crap service. If you are not the type who value professional service and being treated with respect. This place might work for you. Otherwise I highly recommend to avoid this. ESPECIALLY if you are bringing your loved one!
Dont GO – 3 THINGS HORRIBLE FOOD, WORST SERVICE, BAD MANAGEMENT..
Great place to hole up – Once you walk in Literati it feels like you are anywhere but on wilshire. There is such a cozy atmosphere, and great bookish feel to the whole place that you can't resist staying for a while. Their sandwiches and tea are definitely where it's at. I would definitely recommend it as a place to study, or grab lunch, or both. The staff is always friendly and the food is generally pretty cost effective too. I really can't say anything bad about this place. If you're looking for a quiet place to study/get lunch. This is it.
Next best thing to Urth – When I?m not near an Urth, my next choice is Literati. I love how books have been cemented in like bricks on the wall. Their salads and sandwiches are always fresh, and the desserts are so rich and tasty. They also have a good breakfast menu. There?s also a patio outback for those who don?t want to dine inside. Ironically though, can?t say I?ve tried the coffee.
Inspired – Chris is hands down my favorite chef in Los Angeles. His food is consistently delicious, arranged beautifully, and one is at once aware of the connection between farmer and chef combining for true artistry. If Alice Waters had a son, he may have turned out a bit like Chris. Tonights meal consisted of an asparagus soup, gravlax over pumpernickle with beets, gem lettuce salad, wild caught king salmon, Liberty Farms duck, lamb t-bone, and each dish was absolutely inspired. If this restaurant had a better wine list it would be one of the cities elite. The question I have is, how is this room not packed?!?
great food, WORST take-out service that has ever existed – I love the food and drinks at Literati, and I live close by so I always order take-out from them. EVERY SINGLE TIME I have ordered it, though, they have messed up my order.
The first time they gave me the wrong order.
The next time they left out my side salad.
Then they were out of shrimp, but didn't tell me when I ordered the shrimp linguine on the phone, and when I came to get it they said, "Umm...is it ok if we put chicken in your linguine instead?"
The next time I ordered shrimp linguine, it was smothered with cheese when I got it. I hate cheese. The menu didn't say there was cheese, it had never come with cheese before, but that day someone covered it in cheese.
They left out the bread a few times, too.
So I probably sound dumb for continuing to go back for more, but the food really is good. Just make sure you check your takeout orders before you take them home, because chances are something will be wrong.
There's Two Sides to Every Story – When I read the reviews, I had to check it out. There are two restaurants on the corner. One is the orginal cafe which is a self serve, lower priced, organic restaurant. I went in and was so glad to see the European feeling. Pictures of writers. A fireplace. Casual. Friendly people at the counter and my chicken pesto and mint lemonade were the best! I even tried their green tea frozen yogurt. Outstanding. I was so impresssed, I tried the other side which is a white linen full service place. I took my friend for her birthday. We loved the parsnip chips and the cobb salad was fresh and delicious. We even had some great Hitching Post wine. When it came time to bring the cake, they'd written Happy Birthday in chocolate on the plate. What a terrific place. So there are two sides and each offers something different. I will definitely be back now that I know the difference. Thanks to the creators.
cozy study spot – This cafe is one of my Westwood favorite study spots (when its not too crowded). It has a very quaint environment with portraits of literary figures on the wall- a nice little nook for bookworms. I can't say much for their food, because all I ever get there is their coffee and their petite cheesecakes (which are quite delicious). After you get your order, the employees pretty much leave you alone, so it's nice if you want to be in a state of solitude. It's kind of a pain to find parking during the busier hours, so I only come here when I'm feeling more motivated.
Indifferant quality,high prices, cafeteria service. – Overpriced, unimaginative, and mediocre. Apparently this place is the budget sibling of the upscale Literati 2, adjacent. Dust to dust, ashes to ashes stale bread, salted butter in tiny packets, no stand-alone entrees or specialties, except sugared turkey meatloaf; the rest sandwiches to conceal the nondescript office building snack bar poor quality of what lies within. From the (valet) parking lot, gate takes one into the(upscale) Literati 2. If you head there by inadvertance, and are, say, meeting friends at Literati Cafe, you are compelled to walk a serpentine and ;unnecessary gauntlet to get to there. If a "fish rots from the head down," a corallary might also be true; if Literati Cafe stands as any foundation to its (even) more expensive sibling, Literati 2, that's a bad bet. I guess that anything can pass for "health food" and tasty convenience in (still provincial) LA. NOT RECOMMENDED.
