Dr. Antulio J. Echevarria II became the Editor of the US Army War College Quarterly in February 2013. Prior to that, he was the Director of Research for the US Army War College. Dr. Echevarria is the author of Clausewitz and Contemporary War (Oxford University Press, 2007); Imagining Future War (Praeger Securities International, 2007); and After Clausewitz (University Press of Kansas, 2001). He has also published extensively in scholarly and professional journals on topics related to military history and theory and strategic thinking. Dr. Echevarria is a graduate of the US Military Academy, the US Army Command and General Staff College, the US Army War College, and was a Visiting Research Fellow at Oxford University. He holds M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in history from Princeton University, and is currently working on a book on military strategy for Oxford University Press.
Edited by Dr. Antulio J. Echevarria, II.
The purpose of the Key Strategic Issues List is to provide military and civilian researchers a ready reference for issues of special interest to the Department of the Army and the Department of Defense.
Authored by Dr. Antulio J. Echevarria, II.
The idea that war or strategy is driven by a paradoxical logic is attractive, but a number of questions remain unanswered. If war has its own logic, rather than its own grammar, where does the logic of policy fit in? If the logic of strategy is paradoxical, how can it be taught? What are paradoxes, and can they be useful in guiding our strategic choices?
Edited by Dr. Antulio J. Echevarria, II.
The Key Strategic Issues List gives researchers, whether military professionals or civilian scholars, a ready reference of those issues of particular interest to the Department of the Army and the Department of Defense. Its focus is strategic, rather than operational or tactical. Every year, the KSIL helps guide research efforts to the mutual benefit of the defense community and individual researchers.
Authored by Dr. Antulio J. Echevarria, II.
The author discusses several types of wars of ideas so as to achieve a better understanding of what wars of ideas are.
Authored by Dr. Antulio J. Echevarria, II.
Critical thinkers analyze and refine ideas underpinning the foundation of American defense policy and military strategy today so the defense community can apply them in strategy and force development. This is an ongoing process: new ideas emerge, are tested, and adopted, revised, or discarded.
Edited by Dr. Antulio J. Echevarria, II.
In today's dynamic strategic environment, political changes can become challenges very quickly. Any list of key strategic issues must, therefore, include the broadest array of regional and functional concerns. This is a catalogue of significant issues, arranged as potential research topics, of concern to U.S. policymakers. As such, the KSIL is a ready source of topics that members of the defense community and academia can use to focus their research efforts.
Authored by Dr. Antulio J. Echevarria, II.
Dr Antulio J. Echevarria II critiques the theory of fourth-generation warfare, examining its problematic assumptions and logical flaws. He argues that this theory is hopelessly flawed and that its proponents undermine their credibility by subscribing to it.
Edited by Dr. Antulio J. Echevarria, II.
The U.S. Army must maintain a strategic perspective—that it take advantage of the collective insights of scholars and senior-level students both within the defense community and beyond. The Key Strategic Issues List (KSIL), developed at the U.S. Army War College by SSI, helps the Army identify and bring together those insights.
Authored by Dr. Antulio J. Echevarria, II.
This monograph addresses trends in American strategic thinking to the war in Iraq. It argues that the American way of war is really a way of battle and offers some recommendations for change.
Authored by Dr. Antulio J. Echevarria, II, Prof. Bert B. Tussing.
The authors have examined the scope and substance of our National Security Strategy for Homeland Security (NSHS). Disturbingly, they find that the NSHS fails to address the challenges that globalization poses for the security of the American homeland.
Authored by Dr. Antulio J. Echevarria, II.
Globalization—the spread of information and information technologies, along with greater public participation in economic and political processes—is transforming every aspect of human affairs. What is not yet clear, however, are the impacts of these trends, especially how they might affect the nature of war. This monograph argues that the Clausewitzian trinity—hostility, chance, purpose—is still a valid way of looking at the nature of war in the 21st century.
Authored by Dr. Antulio J. Echevarria, II.
The center of gravity concept has long been hailed by the U.S. military as the cornerstone of the operational art; yet, the term has many different meanings. In going back to the original concept, the author reveals that Clausewitz intended the center of gravity to function much as its counterpart in the mechanical sciences, that is, as a focal point—as the one element within a combatant's entire structure or system that has the necessary centripetal force to hold that structure together.
Authored by Dr. Antulio J. Echevarria, II.
The author argues that, while those who developed the concept of rapid decisive operations (RDO) deserve high praise for attempting to link two relative properties—speed and decisiveness—the definition of RDO is at present incoherent and based on several deeply flawed assumptions. He goes on to recommend a method—which he calls Assumption-based Concept Development—for identifying and addressing an operational concept's critical assumptions.
Authored by Dr. Antulio J. Echevarria, II, Brigadier General (Ret.) Huba Wass de Czege.
Brigadier General (Retired) Huba Wass de Czege and Lieutenant Colonel Antulio J. Echevarria II make a case for a strategy aimed at achieving positive, rather than neutral or negative, ends. They first discuss the dynamic conditions of the new strategic environment, then explore the options the United States has available for dealing with those conditions. The options include (1) preventive defense, (2) neo-isolationism, and (3) a strategy that pursues positive ends.
Authored by Dr. Antulio J. Echevarria, II.
The topic of homeland security includes a broad array of missions and mission areas ranging from national missile defense to military assistance to civil authorities. The topic has recently attracted a great deal of attention due to the public's heightened awareness of the variety and nature of emerging threats and of the United States vulnerabilities to them. The Army Staff was assigned to investigate the Army's role in homeland security from a strategic, rather than a legal or procedural perspective.

No Turning Back for Corporate Kane
by, 11-11-2013 at 07:19 AM (8935 Views)
Ok this is my first blog, so please be gentle guys !!
There are times when the WWE pulls a move that genuinely shocks you, The Ultimate Warrior pinning Hogan cleanly at Wrestlemania 6, Steve Austin turning heel at the height of his powers during the WCW/ECW invasion angle, and John Cena taking on the Rock in a once in a lifetime match………………â� ��¦â€¦again ! Sometimes these shocks are good, sometimes they're not so good, and sometimes, they're quite simply bizarre. Kane strolling down the aisle in a suit last Monday night is definitely being filed under the latter category in my opinion.
I'd like to say it's a bold move, really I would, but to me this is just another example of the problems WWE is currently experiencing in their storylines, problems that they are inflicting on themselves. The questions we have to ask here is…………..why are they doing it ?, where are they going with it ? and how are they going to get there ?
The "Why†for me is pretty straight forward. Logically speaking I can only assume that this is a road that Glenn Jacobs himself wants to pursue, otherwise why jeopardize such a well-established and "Over†character such as Kane. The risk here to the character is that it's such a dramatic change, that it really is going down the road of no return. Yes it's been done before, JBL and Taker have had sizable changes in their characters. Taking JBL for example, beer drinking bar room brawler to rich business man is indeed a jump…….but it was explained, and it's not outside the realms of possibility for a change such as that to occur. It's a bit of a jump, but wrestling logic will get you there. Likewise for Taker, Deadman to Biker was another stretch, but again, it was done carefully and a bit of faith and wrestling logic got you there. But with Kane, we're talking deranged and unstable mad-man to "Director of Operations†of a billion dollar company………overnight, with little to no explanation along the way. No amount of wrestling logic will change the fact that this is weak and sloppy story telling. If the WWE need some muscle to don a suit in a corporate storyline, why risk such an established character when they have a locker room full of superstars who could do with the change even more?.
What makes all this worse, is the fact that Kanes absence was not unexpected. He was filming a movie and was written off the show via the Wyatt's taking him out. It's not like this was an unexpected injury and an "Audible†needed to be called. This was expected and presumably planned for which makes the move all the more mind boggling. Surprising the audience is a good thing, confusing them is not. It seems that the WWE have decided to go with Corporate Kane and have gone from point A straight to point D…….skipping out points B and C along the way. So instead of the audience going "Oh my Godâ€, they're going "Wait………….what?â€
As of late, the WWE just always seems to be in a rush, jumping straight from storyline to storyline with little to no build or explanation. Much like a horney teenager, anticipation and foreplay have gone out the window as they fumble around in the darkness looking to get to the "Good Stuffâ€â€¦â€¦â€¦â€¦and much like a horney teenager I fear that they're going to find out that they're not gonna leave people satisfied with an attitude like that !
If you're going to change Kane in such a dramatic fashion, then you need to thread carefully. Don't insult the audience, plant the seeds and keep an eye on things to ensure you stay on track. Wrestling fans will make a leap of faith in terms of storylines if you give them the chance. In Kanes case there are so many questions that need answering…………how is he not unstable anymore?, Who made it happen?, what is his new motivation for serving the authority? These are the questions that need to be answered, to go from Dead Man to Corporate Kane. If nothing else, surely these are questions the Authority need answering before trusting someone with such a role ?
Worryingly the WWE seem to have decided that simply telling their audience that the big red machine is now a corporate business man is sufficient background to continue with this story. Its sloppy and lazy, plain and simple and it breaks the immersion that is so important for wrestling fans to experience in a good story line. In my own humble opinion, WWE creative needs to stop obsessing on the destination, and concentrate more on the journey. The ending to a feud or story line is of little consequence if the audience has lost interest before you get there !

I can't find ONE thing wrong with this axe. Usually I can find some piddly/diddly fault but cannot do it this time. I just LOVE this guitar!!
Well,Fender really surprised me this time! I am almost speechless ! I said ALMOST!!
The guitar was actually in tune right out of the box.I kid you not. In perfect A-440 pitch!
The fit and finish were perfect,and the neck was straight and true. It played like butter out of the box as well.Action was very good no adjustments needed.Playing it sans amp was proof of a nice resonant tone when I did plug it in.The Strat magic was there in the second switch position and the 4th as well.These pickup really get good tone for what they are.(i am not sure what they are.) Anyways they really wail on distortion settings and the chime is there on clean settings!
A real price leader in the Fender MIM line,I don't care if they made them on the MOON!!
You cannot beat the value you get for the short $$ you spend. Super well crafted and this does NOT happen by accident.

One of my students had purchased a classic strat and I was fairly impressed with the quality, and the neck was very nice. So I ordered one to be used and abused in the classroom...Well, the neck WAS nice, but the pickups were loose and tilted, it had two volume knobs, and the bridge pot was wired to the middle pickup. When I tuned the guitar to 440 the bridge block was pulled out of the cavity a good 3/8". ZOWWY!!I know good ones are out there, it just might take you a few tries. I don't have the time..:(

Comments about Fender Classic Series '50s Stratocaster Electric Guitar:
Desiring to get 'back to my roots' as a pre-Beatles rock guitarist I started looking at what was available among the many varieties of Strats. I wanted something with the appearance, sound and feel of the fifties.
To me that meant a honey colored (rather than a bleach blond) look to the maple fingerboard, PUs that were wound as they were wound back then so they rang clear without overly exciting an amp's early gain stage tubes, an original style, Leo-approved, trem system and bridge, and a soft V-shaped neck with a smallish radius fingerboard and traditional "wire" frets.
That is *exactly* what Fender created in the Classic Series `50s Strat. Add vintage style tuners and hardware and a truly lucious "Surf Green" finish, how could this choice be wrong?
Well, on the whole it was not. I gladly and honestly give this guitar 4 stars. But I should have been able to give it 5. Why couldn't I?
The first guitar MF sent to me at first appeared perfect. The workmanship was outstanding in every respect. The sound and feel exactly what I was hoping for. But from the git go the trem arm didn't feel right, offering first some resistance to screwing in, then developing increasing 'jigglies.' Looking around the web I found that the problem I was experiencing on my new guitar was not uncommon -- it was just appearing sooner than it most commonly did.
MF's response was everything I'd come to expect from my favorite music dealer -- an immediate replacement.
Guitar two so far is free of trem arm problems, is also lovely to look at, was setup (string height, intonation, etc.) even better out of the box than the pretty well setup first example, but is a little less than perfection when it comes to the finishing work on the fret ends. Not Squire Affinty rough mind you, but not smooth as glass (as was the first one) either. So I give the Classic Series `50s Strat 4 stars.
Would I recommend this guitar to a friend? Absolutely. Do I love playing it? For sure! (Looking at it too.) But Fender needs to give a touch more attention to the quality control at their Ensenada factory. If they did that -- or if a buyer is lucky and gets a perfect one -- truly this would be a 5 star guitar.

Comments about Fender Classic Series '50s Stratocaster Electric Guitar:
I have owned this guitar in the surf green finish for about 3 years, and having grown up around fender guitars and amps,... this one was a must buy for my studio. The contour of the neck is flawless and easy to play. While some folks may not realize the single ply eight hole pick guard is period correct and maintains the 50's vibe don't be a chump and thinks it cheesy its COOL!
also the pick ups are lower output than new axes wield and have that great Strat Chime, buy yourself a tweed case and you have an authentic 50's start for a fraction of the cost

Comments about Fender Classic Series '50s Stratocaster Electric Guitar:
I play this through a Fender Princeton Reverb Reissue and it is all the classic Fender tone I could ever want. I will play this guitar/amp combo until I die, it is that good.
This is the best Stratocaster money can buy as far as I'm concerned. The tone is unreal and very authentic and vintage sounding. It is also the most comfortable guitar I have ever played, the neck is just so awesome, the maple is beautiful too.
I had been looking for a surf green guitar for a long time and am very happy with this one. The paint is flawless and looks very nice with the maple. One odd thing is that the pickups, knobs, and selector switch are a parchment colour (off white) and the pickguard is pure white. It still looks awesome but I thought it was a little weird. I put on an aged pearl pickguard from Warmoth and it matched up perfectly.
I have heard from countless people that this is the nicest guitar they have ever seen! All of my guitar buddies agree that it sounds deadly as well.
Get you one

Comments about Fender Classic Series '50s Stratocaster Electric Guitar:
I had a MIM 50's Reissue Strat maybe 15 years ago, and I traded it for a BC Rich Mockingbird (I liked that too, but I missed my Strat). I bought an American Standard Strat, but I didn't like the C-shaped neck. When I saw this 50's MIM, I had to buy it. The soft V-shaped neck and tight radius make chording and playing effortless. I do a lot of jazz-fusion, and play mostly on the neck pickup clean through a Fender Princeton. A touch of reverb, and the sound is gorgeous.

Comments about Fender Classic Series '50s Stratocaster Electric Guitar:
Sweet looking. This is my first strat, wanted a made in USA but got this instead just to kinda mess around with. The overall verdict on this guitar is pretty good. Sounds and plays well, don't give into all the talk, MIM isn't garbage, this thing sounds and feels pretty good. I would recommend a professional setup, noiseless pups, better tremolo if you plan on using it alot, and a better pickgaurd. As for me, I will probably get a new pickgaurd because this one is el cheapo. I'm not a professional setup guy but I can probably tweak this one to get it where I really want it but all in all it is set up pretty well and plays nice out of the box. Really like the neck PUP for my cleans, has alot of tone.

Comments about Fender Classic Series '50s Stratocaster Electric Guitar:
This is a great guitar I got it in Daphne Blue, looks great, awesome single coil pick up tone and I absolutely LOVE the maple neck. Hands down one of my favorite guitars out of the 7 that I own. However, there are some annoying aspects as well.
First, it comes with a flimsy 1 ply pick guard that doesn't match the "aged" looking volume knobs, pickup covers, pickup switch tip and whammy bar tip. Payed a fair sum to get a 3 ply pearloid pick guard and all new matching knobs covers and tips.
Second, I have an issue with the intonation on the high E string. Despite multiple professional adjustments and new strings it always ends up about a quarter tone flat by the 12th fret.
Third, just so you know, you can't really tell from the pictures on this site but the truss rod access is not in the head of the guitar but actually at the base of the neck. you have to take off the whole pick guard and what not to get at it if you need to.
Fourth, and finally, The tuning knobs are smaller and comfortable but it is a giant pain to attach the strings to the pegs. You have to wrap the string around as usually but then you have to wrap the string up and into the center of the peg instead of pulling it through the top of the peg like most modern guitars.
Again other than these issues this an outstanding guitar. I have been playing for 14 years and would recommend this guitar to any strat loving player.

Comments about Fender Classic Series '50s Stratocaster Electric Guitar:
I'm just a hobbyist that enjoys learning and playing music I love. I put a lot of thought into which guitar I wanted to buy, I just feel at home with the Fender Stratocaster and knew I wanted another one. I also own a Classic Series '70s Strat which is great. I tried the more modern series of strats but I just keep coming back to the vintage, old school vibe.
I love the soft V shape, it doesn't fight me as much as my other strat's chunky U shaped neck, I love that neck but the soft V feels a little more sleeker or something. Great for thumb over neck (Hendrix-style)chords. One vintage feature that some players don't care for is the 7.25 fret board raduis. I had to raise the action a little bit to cure fretting out issues but it's still relatively low and buzz-free. Many legendary players back in the day such as Jimi Hendrix played strats with this radius and they still got by.
As for the stock pick-ups, that's subjective to the individuals' ears. My Marshall solid-state amp doesn't bring the best out of this guitar so I'm not in a rush to change the stock pups yet like many do with their stock MIM Fender guitars but they're good enough for the kind of music I play (blues/classic rock). They're not noiseless though so you can't crank the distortion up too high.
Overall, this guitar has me satisfied and lives up to all my needs and expectations. Like I said earlier, I put a lot of thought and time into buying another guitar and this was the one. Don't believe the hatred agaisnt the MIM Fenders you see spewed on the internet. Fender Mexico makes great and durable instruments. The right guitar is the one that feel and sounds right to you regardless of country origin, the tone comes from the fingers,heart, mind and soul. Henry Garza from Los Lonley Boys plays a MIM Classic '60s strat and can make it sing. This guitr will stick with me for the long haul.

For his part, the councilman, Ben Little, says the Police Department used a city worker to lure him into a situation that led to his being charged with a crime that could lead to his removal from office.
Anniston police Lt. Allen George gave to The Star a disc containing nearly an hour's worth of images taken from two separate surveillance cameras positioned at the Anniston Street Department's storage headquarters downtown on the night of June 15.
The videos show what appears to be a person being dropped off by a pickup truck near the facility downtown. The person appears to move a trailer or trailers from the area before later leaving with the equipment in a pickup truck. Neither the person nor the getaway vehicle can be identified in the footage.
Anniston Star - Security Footage from Anniston Star on Vimeo.
The videos in question figured in Little's arrest last week on a charge of violating the Council-Manager Act, a state law that establishes Anniston's form of government.
The law, in section 11-43A-18 of the state code, says that "neither the mayor nor any member of the council shall give orders to any subordinates of the city manager, either publicly or privately."
George said Little was "circumventing official channels" by requesting a video from a Street Department worker that allegedly showed equipment being stolen from the department's headquarters.
"Apparently there are some people that are supplying him with information," George said. "Some of that so-called information is that you can easily identify someone in the video stealing a trailer and we've seen the video; that's obviously not the case."
George said the Police Department was releasing the video because the situation had "gotten out of hand" after Little's arrest and said an individual had been arrested on charges for intimidating a witness in the case.
"We're trying to sit back and do our jobs and stay above the political fray," George said. "He's making that difficult."
Little denied the charges, and on Wednesday said the Police Department attempted to frame him by sending a city employee repeatedly to ask him to look into the incident and request the video.
"He told me you can identify a person in the video," said Little, who added he has yet to see the footage. "I said if you can get a copy, put it on my desk."
Little said there's a difference between a request and an order, and he never conducted his own investigation into the matter. He added that he already asked City Manager Don Hoyt for the video as well, proving he had not "leap frogged" the system in trying to obtain the video.
"They're using city employees, time and money to set up an individual," Little said. "And it still didn't work."
George declined Wednesday to comment on Little's claims and said all the evidence in the case will be presented during the trial.
Little is scheduled to appear in court on Sept. 4. If convicted, he would be forced to resign from the council.

The interview, conducted before you even submit an application, is an opportunity for us to get to know you and your business, review your skills assessment, and determine early on whether we're a good match for your financing needs.
Our hope, of course, is that we are. But if not, we'll still do all we can to steer you to helpful resources.

Hi all,I myself, am planning on doing a lot of baking this year and sending out as gifts. I found several really good bulk cookie recipes and made a few of my own, that freeze well and then I can make as soon as it gets cooler! I am starting my ingredient lists now and working my way toward getting ready to make all the doughs! I also am planning on making candy and fudge, as well as some new recipes. I have several recipes I made myself that are always hits, Double Vanilla, Triple Threats and Double Dutch Chocolate, which everyone I know eats them up in a hurry! I also make some Cinnamon, Vanilla Cinnamon and a Vanilla with Chocolate. So, what are you planning to bake this year?
Yikes Jennifer, you are on the ball! I haven't even begun to think about holiday baking. I'm still trying to finish up a quilt for our son and his wife, who will be celebrating their 25th anniversary in January. I thought I'd have it done about a month ago, but I got sidetracked. Once that is finished, I'll try and get my plans together. Thanks for the reminder.

With recent media coverage over mis-labeling, the question we are asked most frequently here at Seafood for the Future is "Where can I purchase seafood that I can trust to be well-managed, correctly labeled, AND fresh?"
Today, yet another article raising concerns over seafood mis-labeling was published by Time Magazine entitled, "Fish Labeled as Eco-Friendly Chilean Sea Bass May Not Be". Consumers have been told that if they cannot live without their beloved Patagonian Toothfish (aka Chilean Sea Bass), that they were in luck! A fishery off the coast of South Georgia Island was evaluated and deemed sustainable by the Marine Stewardship Council or (MSC). However, a study by Peter Marko, a professor of biological sciences at Clemson University, took samples of the fish in 2008 and compared it with 2001 fish samples. His findings were as follows:
"…according to DNA analysis by Clemson University researchers, 15% of Chilean sea bass labeled as sustainable and sold at U.S. grocers did not come from the certified fishery. What's more, 8% of sustainable Chilean sea bass were of a different species entirely."
There could be several reasons for these findings, but this study indicates that over 20% of the MSC certified Chilean Sea Bass sampled was not MSC Certified Chilean Sea Bass. This article is merely the cherry on top of a summer sundae filled with giant scoops of alarming seafood concerns. What's most troubling for us here at Seafood for the Future is that people are already confused about seafood sustainability, mercury content, whether fish-farming is good or bad, and now they don't even know if they've really been eating $30 tilapia all this time. When findings suggest that even MSC Certified fish isn't safe from the seafood market's apparent love affair with mis-labeling, it can dissuade even those who really enjoy seafood from getting their recommended serving. We want to be clear, we do not believe this information discredits MSC, MSC has put checks and regulations in place to prevent this from happening. However, it's obvious from reports surfacing this summer that mis-labeling is rampant in the market itself. It is just an excellent reminder to diversify the types of seafood you eat and learn about fishery management and responsible farming practices. When you learn what makes a fishery or a farm well-managed, you can begin to do your own due diligence and decide what qualifies as sustainable in your book.
It's official, seafood is the new milk. And it does a body even better - if you've been keeping up with us on Facebook or on Twitter you know that among the health benefits of consuming Omega-3s are reduced inflammation, reduced anxiety, higher brain function, and superior cardiovascular health.
So, what's a sustainable seafood lover and Omega-3 enthusiast to do?
1) Eat Seafood!
No we're not crazy, seafood is just too important for your health not to! In fact, we know that if you're the average American, you probably aren't eating enough seafood. According to the American Heart Association, you should consume seafood at least twice a week. Another great website for tracking your seafood consumption and seeing the benefits of your seafood choices is How Much Fish.
2) Do your homework.
Check out our Recommendations. Diversify the types of seafood you eat. If you like one type of seafood, chances are there is another one you'll love. Learn about responsibly farmed seafood and ask for them by name. Research your favorite types of fish. What do they look like whole? What does a fillet look like? Where does it typically come from? Ask your fishmonger these questions and inspect the fish yourself. At the very least, your vendor should be able to tell you whether the fish was wild or farmed and where it is from. If something seems fishy, skip your first choice and test them on another fish. If something still seems fishy, it's probably time for a new, more informative vendor.
3) Buy from reputable sellers.
In Southern California, we have 3 recommendations that are completely worth the trip!
Our first pick is Santa Monica Seafood. They have 2 retail locations – Santa Monica and Costa Mesa. They've addressed mis-labeling head-on on their blog. What's more is that you'll be in the good company of the discerning chefs and purchasers behind these very reputable establishments. As Santa Monica Seafood's blog on seafood mis-labeling mentions, chefs often know more about the characteristics of seafood than consumers like you and me. The same fish you can dine on at the Ritz Carlton or Le Monde by Joel Robuchon can be on your dining room table tonight. Plus, we at SFF have worked with the VP of Purchasing at Santa Monica Seafood. He is very active in the sustainable seafood community, an ardent advocate for community supported fisheries, practically a walking encyclopedia of fish, and is probably going to say we were too kind in writing this. You'd be hard pressed to find a more trustworthy seafood supplier with two convenient locations in Southern California and so many high quality options to choose from. If it's a weeknight and you're totally pooped from work, they'll even cook it for you!
If you're in LA, McCall's Meat & Fish is another top-notch place to pick up the latest and greatest in the highest quality, locally sourced and responsibly farmed seafood. Nathan McCall hand selects all of their fish and it is so unbelievably fresh that every week there is a brand new offering of fish in their seafood case. You can keep up with their weekly offerings on their Facebook page before making the trip to Los Feliz. Speaking from experience, you can ask Chef Nathan 100 questions about the seafood and he'll have the answer for every one. If you are an omnivore, good luck trying to escape without surf AND turf! The meats are sourced as meticulously as the fish and Nathan probably has to wipe drool from the front of the case several times a day.
We love a good farmers' market. The sights, sounds, smells, and the happy feelings evoked from supporting our local farmers are just too much for us to resist. We especially love Orange Home Grown and the Santa Monica Farmers' Market. You might run into some of our partner restaurant chefs like Chef Greg Daniels of Haven Gastropub picking up produce on Saturday morning at Orange Home Grown. You'll also find one our Branded Products partners Carlsbad Aquafarm selling their mussels and oysters directly to the public at both of these amazing markets. If you haven't had an opportunity to try their shellfish, the good folks at Carlsbad Aquafarm will happily give you a sample at the market!
4) Stay tuned to our Seafood for the Future updates. We want to help you fight mis-labeling, so we'll start a chef/purchasing series giving you advise on how to be a discerning fish buyer! Let us know which fish you need help with & we'll be sure to get it covered together with our network of responsible chefs and distributors.

MONTROSE – With help from a federal grant and a renewable energy company, the City of Montrose hopes to meet some of its electrical needs through solar power.
To that end, officials are looking for a renewable energy company willing to install, own and maintain a 150-kilowatt photovoltaic system at its existing communication site on Sunset Mesa, from which the city would purchase power for use at that site and at its Elks Civic Building.
"Part of the cost reductions for the [third-party] provider is that it is our land; we have this grant funding; there are investment tax credits available that could equate to about 30 percent, and there are also renewable energy credits that they could use to further reduce their costs for the project," said Virgil Turner, the city's administrative services director.
The city was recently awarded a $105,000 grant from the state that can offset capital costs for building the solar system.
The 150 kw system would be ground-mounted in a 15,000-square-foot fenced area at the communication site, and would produce 337,800 kilowatt-hours of electricity annually.
The city wants to create a power-purchase agreement with the firm chosen through a city request for proposal process. That RFP is expected to be distributed by Sept. 10, Turner said.
The details of the power-purchase agreement, including the cost of power, length of the contract and cost of the salvage equipment to the city when that contract expires, will be included in the city's RFP, he said.
"I think the city has a lot to gain by having locally generated power right here in the community," Turner said.
Currently, the city's communication site on Sunset Mesa consumes 30,976 kwh annually, and its Elks Civic Building in downtown Montrose uses about 1.5 million kwh. The city hopes to purchase enough renewable energy through the power-purchase agreement to cover the electrical costs of the communication site, plus 20 percent of the Elks buiding's electrical expenses.
Having access to renewable energy also would give the city some cost assurance, Turner said.
"We'd know what the [energy] rates will be with the terms of the contract," he said. "It's knowing what we'll be paying for the next [approximate] 10 years, versus not knowing what we'll spend in 10 years. The certainty of knowing what we'll be paying could be considered an advantage, and could sway us into paying a little more for renewable energy now."
In reviewing the RFPs, the city will be considering each company's contract terms. Turner said it doesn't necessarily mean the city will get cheaper power, but the benefits of that percentage of city-used power from renewable energy outweighs many of the drawbacks. What is detailed in the RFPs will determine if the city moves forward with the project, he said.
Within the contact, the city will be looking at salvage costs, as well as energy costs and contract terms; it is hoped that, when the power-purchase contract expires, the city could purchase the solar equipment and continue to reap its benefits. The company also could choose to remove the equipment and return the site back to its original condition.
"We'll be asking them to give us their most attractive offer," Turner said.
The total project could cost a renewable energy firm up to $1 million, but the benefits to that company include the guaranteed power purchase from the city, he said.
After the RFP is released, companies have just over a month to submit their offers for review by a city committee, that will then bring its recommendations to city councilors for approval. Turner expects a selection announcement at the Nov. 20 city council work session, and hopes construction can start by mid-December, for a mid-March completion.
The project for this second solar array to be constructed for the city could help the city reach its goal of producing 5 percent of its needed power from renewable resources by 2016.
BrightLeaf Technologies, a Montrose-based renewable energy company, is working to install a 23 kw system at the city's wastewater treatment plant, as part of an Energy and Minerals Impact Fund grant provided by the Colorado Department of Local Affairs. That system is expected to provide the city with at least $7,800 in savings per year, and the city should recover the cost of the project within seven years, said Municipal Services Director Jim Hougnon.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"This goes perfectly with our casino themed wedding. I ordered the postcards and unfortunately fedex lost my original order. I called and spoke with Wendy in customer service and she sent me a replacement order overnight. I was so excited when they got here. She really made my day!! The only thing i would suggest is definetly reread your personalizations because i missed a spelling i spelt feel instead of fell and the proofreader didn't catch it lol its ok though if you read it fast enough you never notice. I will be ordering all the other printing i need for my special day from wedding paper divas they really are making my day alot easier with all their coordinating projects."
"The idea of a magnet as your "Save-the-Date" was such a fantastic idea!! People tend to want to put things such as this on the fridge, so why not make a magnet out of it and ALWAYS have it to use and see. The magnets are super high quality and very strong. The colors are pure and the picture quality isn't bad either. I used a few pictures that were kind of far away but they still look great! I was told that my shipment wouldn't be here for almost two weeks and literally one week later, they arrived. WPD make it easy to upload photos, change fonts and pretty much customize the product to just how you want it. I will definitely return to them for future purchases. Their customer service is impeccable as far as timeliness and making sure that you get what you ordered!"
"We are very pleased with our Save the Date cards. They look great and they were formatted perfectly. I wish the card stock was a little heavier. Overall though, the service and delivery were top-notch."
"Our friends loved this Save the Date magnet. Everyone said it was elegant, simple and not too obnoxiously lovey-dovey. The first batch of magnets were a little wonky. I spoke to Customer Service about it and they sent me replacements via overnight shipping that turned out perfectly. Although I love the design of the magnet, I would have liked if the lettering was a little bigger."
"We are big fans of poker so this was the perfect fit! The price was just right as well. My shipment was received almost a week earlier than I thought it would."

Last Monday (Nov 28) I attended (part of) the yearly conference about the future of Classical music.
Besides the fact that I'm a classical music lover, we're also launching the SonicAngel – Festival van Vlaanderen partnership to enable young classical talent to get discovered, earn a record deal and have huge exposure at 2 major classical music events. I'm quite a fan actually, and even though I took my wife (girlfriend then) to a 4 hour Wagner opera as our first classical music concert, she still joins me often. For the anecdote, I still remember that Wagner evening though:
During the break after 90 minutes…
. She: "I'm glad it's over, didn't like it'
. Me: "It's not over, it's the first break"
. She: "The first?"
. Me: "Yep, it's gonna be 2h30 more !"
That said, besides the content and meeting people full of passion, I also heard about the new music note that the government will hopefully approve this week. It unites all music related organisations, in a strong and forward looking plan that will benefit the entire industry. From preserving and promoting access to practicing music, to guiding in management and a lot of incentives on the evolution of distribution and connection (digital) and financial support. It can be the enabler of a strong turnaround of the sector, if all work united. Kudos to Stef Coninx (Chief Muziekcentrum Vlaanderen) & his team for taking the time to explain me the background and potential impact. I was also impressed to hear Philippe de Coene, a parliament member, who came forward to highlight the legislative counters of this reuniting note.
Guess we'll hear a lot about it. Let's do all we can to build an industry based on new principles, where the artist, the fan and all other players work together to find and break amazing talent, embrace the connection with the fans, and use technology as a means where it can solve the inefficiency of the sector. Maybe some entrepreneurs will step in again, in an industry that has mainly known downsizing, restructurings and more negative news. And believe me, more companies will go out of business, but I think we're at a pivotal moment in time during which a new reality is being created.
Let's go

Saints-Cowboys set for Sept. 28
On paper, the New Orleans Saints have an opportunity for a fast start in 2014.
- Apr. 23, 2014
You will be redirected to the page you want to view in seconds.
On paper, the New Orleans Saints have an opportunity for a fast start in 2014.
Saints coach Sean Payton says the club has not decided whether to exercise a 2015 team option on running back Mark Ingram's contract.
The New Orleans Saints have picked up the fifth-year option for defensive end Cameron Jordan, according to ESPN.
Accused serial rapist Darren Sharper appeared in court here again Friday and tried to look away.
A Los Angeles judge has set the next hearing date for fomer NFL player Darren Sharper for May 16.
The Saints have re-signed wide receiver Robert Meachem to a one-year deal, the club announced Friday.
Former NFL All-Pro safety Darren Sharper lost his bid Thursday to be released on bail in a sexual assault case after an Arizona judge found there's enough evidence to move forward with charges against him in that state.
Though he wasnt in full pads and a helmet, Saints fan got their first glimpse of newly-signed safety Jairus Byrd in black and gold, wearing his no. 31 Saints jersey and speaking to a group of energetic schoolchildren at Harahan Elementary Wednesday afternoon.
Semen matching Darren Sharper's DNA was found on the leggings of one of his alleged rape victims in Arizona, according to testimony Wednesday from a Tempe police detective.
Lawyers for former NFL All-Pro safety Darren Sharper are questioning the evidence authorities are using to justify keeping him in jail without bail on charges that he drugged and sexually assaulted two women.
An autographed photo of Darren Sharper wearing his former Green Bay Packers uniform sits next to an autographed mini Packers helmet in the trophy case at Hermitage High School.
Darren Sharper's scheduled court hearing here Tuesday was continued until Thursday morning after Judge Renee Korn decided to find out what happens in a related hearing for Sharper Wednesday in Arizona.
The New Orleans Saints' four-game preseason schedule is slated to begin in St. Louis and end at home in the last week of August.
Sometimes big, shiny objects gain our attention and distract us from whats really going on.
The Saints matched Atlanta's offer for safety Rafael Bush, enacting their right of first refusal to keep the defensive back in New Orleans.
The Chicago Bears have agreed to a one-year contract with free-agent center Brian de la Puente.
The Saints likely feel a little bit better about their situation at cornerback.
The Falcons have extended an offer sheet to restricted free agent safety Rafael Bush, according to the league's transaction wire.
The Saints and safety Marcus Ball have agreed to terms on a three-year contract, adding depth to a position that was in need of it this offseason.
The Saints and Parys Haralson have agreed to a one-year contract, the franchise announced.
The fight over who owns the phrase "Who Dat" continues. Now, the company that sued the NFL and multiple local T-shirt shops in 2010 is turning its focus to a fan merchandise store in Slidell.
The Saints appear to still be on the market for a veteran cornerback.
In January 2012, Darren Sharper filed a worker's compensation claim in California that described several health problems he suffered during 14 seasons as a player in the NFL. Along with his knee, hamstring, shoulder and hip, he listed "head, sleep."
New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis says the club has agreed to the terms of a one-year contract with quarterback Luke McCown, who was Drew Brees' backup last season, as well as the holder on field goals.
Saints quarterback Drew Brees and his wife Brittany, are expecting their fourth child, and after three boys, the couple is finally expecting a little girl.
Its Performance Based Pay time in the NFL.
A report on ProFootballTalk.com cites a source that says its likely that the Saints and Jimmy Graham will agree on a long-term deal before the Pro Bowl player files a grievance over whether or not he should be considered a tight end for salary purposes.
While a trumpeter blared, "When the Saints Go Marching In," New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton paraded into the governor's parlor Thursday and touted The Greenbrier resort as its new training camp home.

But as with most age-group record breakers, progress is sometimes slow to come by.
Darrell Brown of Trinidad and Tobago (born Oct 11, 1984) holds the age 17 and age 18 records (tied with Jeff Demps at age 18) for the 100 with times of 10.09 at age 17 (2002) and 10.01 at age 18 (2003).
Let's see what this Japanese phenom does in 2013 and 2014.
Re: Yoshihide Kiryu 10.19
Impressive 10.19. Second place was impressive as well but Kiryu superior turnover makes the difference.
Re: Yoshihide Kiryu 10.16
Is there anyway we can make them reconsider that change on the site? It doesn't make sense at all. For people who want to follow and research stats why would you take away valuable information like when an event happened? I can never get when people make changes that are so obviously dumb.

Beldum is one of the more interesting Pokemon in Little Cup; its unique dual typing, impressive defenses, and decent Attack makes you ask yourself: "why isn't it more commonly used?". Unfortunately for Beldum, the lack of any support moves (and a narrow movepool in general) to make use of its bulk leave it with little it can do. Despite the aforementioned drawbacks, Beldum's decent stats and access to two solid STAB attacks give it reason enough to be considered as a member of your team.
This is the best set that Beldum can run. Iron Head is Beldum's primary STAB attack, though it has mediocre coverage alongside Zen Headbutt; the combination is resisted by a number of common LC Pokemon, such as Houndour and Bronzor. The move in the third slot depends on how much you value the extra power Take Down has over Headbutt. When making your choice, however, keep in mind that Take Down's accuracy is unreliable, and that Beldum must suffer recoil damage from using it. Headbutt can be useful at times due to its 30% flinch rate. Iron Defense is Beldum's only option for its 4th moveslot, and with +2 Defense, rest assured that Beldum can take any physical attack thrown at it regardless of power and effectiveness. Oran Berry is the primary item choice as it allows Beldum to regain roughly 50% of its health instantaneously. Life Orb is a good alternative, although it's worth noting that Beldum can take a hit or two, so the Life Orb recoil damage probably isn't worth the boost in power, not to mention Beldum's poor Speed.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Due to its extremely narrow movepool consisting of only 5 moves, there are no other options for Beldum. Regarding other set options, it lacks any support moves to play as an effective supporter, or any stat boosting moves to function as a set-up sweeper.
Checks and Counters
Due to Beldum's shallow and predictable movepool, it is not too hard to counter. Magnemite comes out as the number one counter to Beldum, resisting all its attacks and having the ability to trap it with Magnet Pull. STAB Thunderbolt or Hidden Power Fire can be used to finish Beldum off (depending on Magnemite's set). Bronzor also takes a negligible amount from Beldum's attacks, thanks to its great resistances and impressive bulk, and can hit back with Earthquake, or even use Beldum as fodder to set up entry hazards or dual screens. Fire-types can deal with Beldum provided they steer clear of Zen Headbutt. Houndour has a secondary Dark-typing in addition to its Fire-typing, granting it an immunity and resistance to both Zen Headbutt and Iron Head, respectively. Ponyta, Houndour, and Growlithe all outspeed Beldum and can easily nail it with STAB Fire Blast or Flare Blitz, so having a safe switch-in for these attacks is important.

Balsamic Chicken Sandwich with Peach Jam & Brandied Onions.
Author Notes: This recipe is based on a longing for a Thanksgiving left-overs sandwich. I wanted to use ingredients that represented the season, while still embodying a homey, left-overs deliciousness. Luckily, this recipe fulfilled my expectations! The chicken, jam & onions can be made ahead & eaten cold or room temperature. It goes perfect with a cold summer beer. - we eat. happy.
Serves 4
For the Chicken & Brandied Onions
- 1 pound boneless free-range chicken breast, cut into strips
- 1 cup balsamic vinaigrette (I use Newman's Own)
- sea salt & cracked pepper
- olive oil
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon brandy
- 1 loaf of bread from the bakery (I used French bread), sliced
- Vegenaise or your favorite mayonnaise
- head of lettuce (Boston or green/red leaf would work)
- Marinate the chicken for a hour or up to overnight. Preheat a grill or a pan over medium-high heat. Drizzle with a little olive oil & cook chicken strips for 4 minutes per-side. Remove & set aside.
- Meanwhile, in a small pan, heat a glug of olive oil over medium heat & add the onion slices. Add the salt & pepper; cook for 6-7 minutes stirring often.
- Add the brandy & continue to cook until the alcohol is absorbed, about 2-3 minutes. Take off heat & set aside.
- Lay out the slices of bread. Spread the jam on one side & Vegenaise on the other. On top of the jam, add the chicken, onion, then the lettuce. Viola!
For the Peach Jam
- 1 peach, chopped
- 2 tablespoons organic sugar
- 1 teaspoon brandy
- a pinch of sea salt
- Add ingredients into a pan over high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium & continue to cook for about 7 minutes. Using a potato masher, smash the peaches until the big lumps are gone.
- Turn off heat, put in a jar to cool. The jam can last up to 3 weeks in the refrigerator (if it lasts that long!).
- This recipe was entered in the contest for Your Best Pub Food
