Streetwear titan Vans is perhaps best known for its footwear line, which includes a diverse collection of lowtops, high-tops, and slip-ons inspired by skate culture. Over the years, Vans sneakers have been worn in countless films and skate videos, and the slip-ons became a cultural phenomenon in the early 1980s after they were worn by Sean Penn's character in the cult classic film, "Fast Times at Ridgemont High." Vans Footwear is built to withstand extreme abuse while still maintaining superior comfort. Vans has made custom sneakers for many of skateboarding's most famous riders, including Christian Hosoi and Bucky Lasek.

This short animated film is an impressionistic reflection on the creative process. Using black-and-white photographs (representing reality), overlaid with animated colour drawings (representing fantasy), it illustrates the artist as he braves creative storms, indulges spontaneous bursts of inspiration and learns, by trial and error, to harness his creative powers.

Some say chivalry's dead.
But not in La Paz, where the old-fashioned values of the residents are part of the Mexican city's well-known charm.
The locals have become part of the appeal for Western Canadians exploring their options for a sunny second home.
Connie and Mike Roche bought a townhouse at a development called CostaBaja Resort and Spa that's a 10-minute drive from downtown La Paz. It sits on a private beach and features the only golf course in Mexico designed by professional golf star Gary Player.
While the resort provides everything needed for a relaxing retreat, the Roches aren't shy about slipping into town for a knee-deep experience of La Paz, a city with more than 400 years of history.
"It's authentic," says Connie, a retired nurse. Mike is a lawyer.
"The people are so friendly and polite. It's almost like it's set back in time to see the chivalry and their polite attitude."
Connie is taking Mexican cooking lessons. She and Mike are building their Spanish vocabulary, which has helped them create a network of both Canadian and Mexican friends.
"We do all our shopping in town at Mexican style markets," adds Connie. "We really enjoy the culture." Connie says the Roches spend as much time as they can at CostaBaja.
"It feels like home," says Connie.
"Each time we come it's harder to leave."
The Roches bought a two-bedroom unit with an office in Costa Baja's townhome development called Las Colinas, which in Spanish translates to 'the hills."
This development is located along the 10th and 11th fairways of the golf course and includes views of the nearby Sea of Cortez.
The townhomes in Las Colinas are both one and two-storey layouts. They are decked out in warm-coloured stucco and stone.
The Roches' townhome points west looking out at the water.
"It's rustic looking," says Connie. "We furnished it in a Mexican country theme to make us feel like we're in Mexico and not San Diego."
The townhome has patios on both sides of the unit — and as Connie says, "sunshine every day."
A full-sized pool is only a short walk from their townhome and Connie says "it's better than having your own pool—because you don't have to look after it."
Beyond the townhomes, the resort offers home options in the VistaMar villas and condos. These homes are crafted in a contemporary Baja design boasting wooden trellises and large private terraces with natural stone tile.
The project is currently in its second of nine stages of development. The first phase includes completion of a 250-slip marina and a luxury hotel.
There are many ways the Roches stay active at CostaBaja.
Mike is an avid windsurfer and makes good use of the large bodies of water within the region.
He's also a golfer and enjoys lugging his clubs out on the resort's par 72 course, which comes with spectacular views. Fourteen out of the 18 holes offer a view of the Sea of Cortez.
The resort also offers a number of dining opportunities such as Steinbecks, an open-air restaurant features a selection of smoked chicken and fresh fish.
There's also restaurants at the beach bar, the golf club house, and establishments called Azul Marino and La Barcaccia.
Residents of CostaBaja can also unwind at the health and wellness centre, offering more than 60 therapies for skin and body well-being.
Project: CostaBaja Resort and Spa featuring an 18-hole golf course designed by Gary Player. Housing ranges from condos to villas and townhomes.
Developer: Grupo Concord.
Area: La Paz, the capital of Baja California Sur in Mexico.
Prices: Las Colinas townhomes price range from $558,000 to $878,000 US. VistaMar condos and villas range from $787,000 to $1.837 million.

Connie and Mike Roche.
Background: Connie is a retired nurse while her husband, Mike, is a lawyer from Western Canada.
The couple bought a two-bedroom townhome in La Paz, Mexico called Costa Baja Resort and Spa.
The couple enjoys its second home for a number of reasons, including the recreational opportunities at the resort and the culture in its surrounding area.
Mike's an avid windsurfer who enjoys zipping across the nearby Sea of Cortez and golfing at the resort's 18-hole course.
This is the only course in Mexico designed by pro golf legend Gary Player. Connie enjoys exploring La Paz, where she's taking Mexican cooking classes.
Costa Baja is a resort sitting next to the Gulf of California, more commonly known at the Sea of Cortez.
This body of water is 1,126 kilometres long and 241 wide. Temperatures on the Sea of Cortez can range from 16 C in the winter and 24 C in the summer.
The Sea of Cortez is home to a wide range of species, including California gray whales, manta rays, humpback whales and leatherback sea turtles.
Grupo Concord is a development company founded in the 1970s.
It has more than 30 years experience master-planning communities in Mexico City and Acapulco.
Five years ago, the company expanded to include tourism developments next to the Sea of Cortez.
This includes CostaBaja in La Paz in Baja California Sur in Mexico.

(As readers of my Wytch of the North blog know, Queen Anne Boleyn is the most prominent member of a group of spirits I refer to as "The Queens"--since they literally are the spirits of dead queens--whom I have adopted as my Disir, and who have adopted me in turn and are kind enough to favor me with Their advice and support. I may cover the story of how Anne first came into my life in another post, but for now I would like to share the below thoughts that were inspired by my Work with Her. Probably this is more or less common knowledge, but for those who may not know, Anne Boleyn was beheaded by her husband, Henry VIII of England, on May 19th 1536, on false charges of adultery and incest. Thus, I have set aside May 19th each year as Queen Anne's Day, which I observe by processing to our local Owen Memorial Rose Garden here in Eugene, where I leave gifts and offer prayers for her, and then at home I prepare a Tudor-era inspired feast in her honor. This year, I will also be presenting prayers and poetry submitted as gifts for her by my readers. Anne's death was a great tragedy, but as I commented recently on my blog, I think it's important to remember how she lived--boldly, with style and aplomb--and not just how she died.)
This week, in my search for Anne Boleyn-themed viewing material that I had not yet seen, I ended up borrowing (from our amazing local library) a BBC production of Philippa Gregory's The Other Boleyn Girl. (Which is also available on YouTube here.) Many of you are doubtless familiar with the Hollywood adaptation of this story, featuring Natalie Portman. (I watched this again recently too, and to my surprise found that the theatrical release doesn't actually make a whole lot of sense if you aren't already familiar with the novel; this must be due to bad editing and too many deleted scenes, as the plotline--which was fine in the book--just does not hang together well.) I have to admit, although I love Philippa Gregory, especially her books about the queens involved in the Wars of the Roses (aka "the Cousins' War"), I am not a fan of The Other Boleyn Girl. Gregory does seem to have a distinctly pro-Catholic bias in her novels, and when writing about the Reformation, that bias translates into an anti-Anne bias. In The Other Boleyn Girl, Mary is the good girl who compromises her purity for the sake of her family's ambition, then ends up falling in love with the king despite herself, only to be foisted from his bed by the heartless Anne, who coldly connives her way to the throne and stops just short of committing incest with her own brother in a last-ditch effort to conceive the male child that would have saved her life. (Gregory's treatment of Anne's daughter, Elizabeth the great Protestant Queen, in later books is not terribly flattering either.) In historical reality, on the other hand, Mary was more of a good-time girl than a "good" girl (the King of France, one of her many conquests prior to Henry, referred to her as his "English mare,") and Anne was very likely a virgin at the time of her marriage, although on the topic of whether or not she actually loved Henry there are as many opinions as there are writers to offer them. (The Lady herself says that she did, and does, which makes her story all the more tragic.)
Very interesting! There is also a novel that I quite enjoyed reading, called Threads: the Reincarnation of Anne Boleyn, about her
You might be interested in knowing that there is a radio play, "In the Real World" currently in the works. It centers on a man wh
As you already know, the Tudor time period is basically a time period that is a bit more recent than I'm generally interested in.

Reviews for Lemon Bread(69)
Sort By :
The lemon taste was great. Not too stronge.
AMAZING!! My family enjoys lemon so we LOVE this recipe! Truly a quick bread, the longest part is grating the lemon peel!!:) Making these for Christmas gifts this year for my grandmother and great grandmother along with a hand-knitted dishcloth! I'm sure it will be a big hit!!
Wonderful recipe and easy!! I followed this exactly, but did add a bit of lemon zest to the glaze, and also put the glaze over it while it was still warm. Very good!!!
A post script: I drizzled the lemon glaze over the baked bread before allowing the bread to cool 10 minutes! When I added my eggs to creamed sugar & butter or shortening, I added the 3 Tbsp. milk-if using 2 eggs, you can decrease this amount to about 1 Tbsp. + 1-1/2 tsp. milk!
thank you for sharing this recipe, Kathy!
Actually, I have used this recipe recently-the first time, I'd used the single recipe; then I doubled it. I DID make adjustments to suit my tastes as I have a very similar recipe for lemon bread from 1975!
Here are my adaptations: 1/2 cup butter or
shortening to 1 cup(doubled)
1 cup sugar to 2 cups (doubled)
2 eggs to 4 eggs (doubled)
3 Tbsp. milk
Juice from one large lemon, strained
1/2 cup sugar for lemon glaze
Rind from 1 large lemon-used the grated lemon for the lemon glaze
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour to 3 cups(doubled)
1-1/2 tsp. baking powder to 1 Tbsp. (doubled)
1 tsp. salt if recipe is doubled; 1/2 tsp. in just using single ingredients
1/2 cup milk to 1 cup if recipe is doubled: NOTE: I soured my milk so that the bread would be more moist-I use 1 Tbsp. vinegar for 1 cup milk, 1-1/2 tsp. vinegar for 1/2 cup milk.
I added 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts to the grated lemon rind! I kept that mount the same! I used three 8-1/2x4-1/2" loaf pans, greased and floured, for the doubled recipe and for single recipe, I used at least two 7-1/2x3/1/2" greased and floured loaf pans! Time was kept the same! I combined the strained lemon juice with 1/2 cup sugar for the doubled recipe and about 1/4 cup sugar for single recipe. I cooled breads in pans 10 minutes, then turned out to cool on wire racks completely. I'd baked the lemon bread, doubling it for friends who are fans of this bread! I used to sell my lemon breads and they were among my best customers! This bread doesn't last long!

Harold has been our guest on several occasions including last year's program on George Armstrong Custer. This month he will present "The Medal of Honor, and it's strange oddities and unique accomplishments". The Medal of Honor was first issued during the Civil War in 1863. Since then more than 3,400 have been issued for acts of bravery and heroism,"above and beyond the call of duty". In a few instances, however, the medal was awarded for rather unique, strange, and less than glorious reasons. This program discusses those instances.
November 14: Once again we will feature round table member Nic Affolter, with a program concerning the Battle of Gettysburg. With his vast knowledge about the battle and the quality of his previous programs, NIc always brings a unique and fascinating look at this much discussed decisive battle of the Civil War.

Home Depot rents a hammer drill and core drills that will buzz though in no time and leave a nice clean hole.
I'm installing a 5-zone drip irrigation system. I'm locating the control valves in my garage, whose walls are concree block with brick veneer on outside.
The poly pipe is 0.700" OD.
Rather than drilling five separate holes through the wall, I want to drill a single hole through the concrete block and veneer. The size of the hole needs to be large enough to accept a sleeve of 2" PVC (to protect the poly pipe and to allow for winterization).
I have a complete set of bi-metal hole saws, but none for cuttng through the concrete block.
Any recommendations?
Joe in Virginia
Home Depot rents a hammer drill and core drills that will buzz though in no time and leave a nice clean hole.
I doubt the bi-metal will hold up long. You need a diamond core bit.
i dont think youcan drillthru, although perhaps a diamond bit might work,i don't know anything about them.
But your hammer drill probably will drillthru, with a regular masonry bit,a series of small holes,then punch out the middle, Not too neat, you will have to patch around your larger pipe to fill the irregualrities.
or you can buy a cheap harbor freight demolition hammer, for less money than 300 miles of gas, or almost less, and punch ah big hole. Easier than a hammer drill,but still not neat round cuts.
If you can't get a dry core bit you will have to do as you stated drill multiple holes and try to keep it as clean as possible.
Yes, carbide will work. Not as clean a hole but that's how we did it in the old days.
I find these work really well...
But you need a rotary hammer for them...
Tiger Diver,
Just a heads up. If you plan on using 2" PVC pipe for a sleeve, it won't fit through a 2-1/4" hole. The outside diameter is 2-3/8"
If it's just one hole and you're careful to hit a void in the block and not hit one of the webs, you can do this with a hammer and chisel in under 5 minutes. Concrete block is very easy to break with a hammer.
Punch (or drill) a small hole to get you started and work around the edge of that hole until it's as big as you want.
I've opened 3'x3' access holes in block with a hammer and chisel lots of times and it takes me longer to haul the broken pieces out to the trash than it does to make a nice square opening.

It was the end of a career that spanned 38 years and saw the head ball coach total 1,098 victories while hanging eight national championship banners with the Lady Volunteers.
"I can say for almost four decades, it has been a privilege to make an impact on the lives of 161 women who have worn the orange," Summitt said during her announcement. "I am so proud of them, the Lady Vol student-athletes, and am honored to see them graduate and become successful young women. Together with these young women, a great staff, and a supportive administration, we will have taken a magnificent journey. We have grown the game of women's basketball each and every day."
Summitt spent her years on the sideline pioneering women's basketball as a fierce competitor that strived for perfection, but her largest concern was that her players obtained their education.
During Summitt's tenure at Tennessee she touched and impacted the lives of each young woman that stepped on the floor for the Lady Vols. Each student-athlete that played for Summitt for four years graduated. Maybe even more inspiring was that Summitt's reach and care went well beyond her own team.
In November of 2006 and December of 2007, Spanish Springs girls basketball coach Christine Eckles took members of her team to watch the Lady Vols play Arizona State and Stanford, respectively. However, the Cougars received much more than just the experience of catching a game. Summitt invited the team down to the Tennessee pregame shoot-around and talked to the Spanish Springs players afterward.
"Everybody talks about how great Coach Summitt is and how classy her program is. And that's exactly how they treated this little high school out of Spanish Springs that they knew nothing about," Eckles said. "It was a great opportunity (in 2007). Coach came over and talked to us and talked to me which I thought was so nice. Her staff was so great to us. In fact, Stanford wouldn't let us come to its (pregame) shootaround, but Tennessee did. Coach Summitt brought over the whole team and they were just very gracious to us. She came over and she talked. She talked for a little bit to the girls about being focused and said she hoped we had a great season and then she asked if we'd like to take a picture with the team. Our kids were just so excited.
"I just think it was fun for all of us. It was a good time and a good opportunity to kind of see one of the best programs in the country and to see what those athletes look like and kind of what a walk through would look like at that level. In my opinion, we got to see the very best with the Lady Vols. It was really great for our kids and it was really great for me. I've always looked up to Pat Summitt. I've read her books. I just like what she stands for in coaching. It was a great time. It's a good memory that I'm sure I'll keep forever."
For the ex-Cougars' players, the experience was one of a lifetime.
"That was literally one of the greatest days of my entire life," said former Spanish Springs player Kallee Oxborrow, a 2010 SSHS graduate. "Just learning everything from her was great. I've always really looked up to Pat Summitt and to have that opportunity to meet her and speak with her was one of the greatest moments of my high school career and pretty much one of the greatest memories of my life."
Meeting the legendary coach and the rest of the Lady Vols left many of the Spanish Springs players awestruck.
"I was in shock the whole time," former Cougar Ari James said, another 2010 SSHS graduate. "I enjoyed the experience tremendously. I tried to take as many pictures as possible. What I remember most is just watching them practice before the game and just how enthusiastic she was. It was just a warm-up, like a walk-through, and she was still enthusiastic about it and encouraging her team and she got them really energized. It was amazing. It was great. It was a great feeling."
While Summitt's enthusiasm and love for basketball showed through, it was her message to the local prep basketball team that resonated with the high schoolers the most.
"I just remember her talking in general about how important school really is in order to be successful," Oxborrow said. "She mentioned how she's always wanted all of her girls to graduate and I think school is really important also. So it was just great to hear that athletics isn't everything."
As Summitt handed her whistle and the coaching reins over to Tennessee's new head coach, Holly Warlick, and stepped aside into her new role as head coach emeritus, she made an oath to her Lady Vols.
"I made a choice early in my career to challenge myself, to step up my game each and every day," Summitt said. "You can be sure I will take this same attitude into my new role as head coach emeritus and continue to teach our players the same commitment. I can promise you ladies, I'm here for you. Trust me that that will happen. The success of the Lady Vols will always, always continue."
That promise stretches much further than the Smoky Mountains.

There was a time when Yamaha's Tenere range of bikes ruled the earth, literally. As desert and dirt blasters for Paris-Dakar like competitions, the name Tenere became synonymous with adventure and off-road riding.

Cagiva's Gran Canyon is a great motorcycle to ride, with nimble handling, lazy, easy-to-love power and plenty of tuning potential. Sadly, though, it's let down by crummy component quality and ridiculous servicing costs. It shines around town or on A-roads, but it's a less assured performer on longer, faster routes.

The Galactic Serpent: Alberto VilloldoFrom the beginning of time an umbilical cord of cosmic energy has extended from the center of our Galaxy and nourished the Earth. This is the legendary Feathered Serpent of the Hopi, the Toltec, and the Maya, whose arrival to the Americas on 2012 has been foretold by countless shamans. For the past 5,600 years the Galactic Serpent lay coiled at the foothills of the Himalayas, nurturing the great spiritual traditions that arose in Tibet and Kashmir. The Galactic Serpent will reside in the Americas for the next 5,600 years to awaken the feminine power and the heart chakra of Mother Earth. She has coiled herself at the foot of the highest peak outside of the Himalayas, Mt. Aconcagua, and is snaking up the Andes mountains into North America.
Dr. Alberto Villoldo describes how you can awaken the power of the Galactic Serpent to lead an illumined life where you will know no limit to your ability to dream your world into being. Filmed in the Andes Mountains of Peru, Chile and Argentina with a special appearance by the Laika prophecy keepers of Peru, and Machi Clorinda of Chile. Learn More$23.95

Not open anymore. – This restaurant has been closed. Not sure why.
Awesome food – One of the best fusion restaurants around. Great food and fantastic service. I recommend the yucca fries for appetizer. We went on a Friday night and I had their special, which was mahi mahi fish fry- just delicious. We enjoyed the ambience so much that we ended up staying after the meal was finished just sitting around chatting with our friends. We never felt rushed and our glasses were always kept full.
A restaurant ahead of the pack – One would think that to experience good dining, one would have to go to cities such as New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and San Francisco. Not necessarily so. Milwaukee has several great restaurants and Vivo Urban Grill is one of them.
My business associates and I often travel around the country and visit Milwaukee 3-4 times a year and make it a point to dine at Vivo's. Besides the obvious fresh seafood and steaks selections, try items from the Tapas menu for appetizers, the Paella or Brazilian Moqueca as the main course and Flan for dessert...its a fantastic combination! Allan (Al) the owner, makes it point to come around and say hello. We take this opportunity to ask him to match up what we are having for dinner with wines.
Our dining experience at Vivo's has been excellent every time. Citysearch.com readers correctly give Vivo an overall rating of 9.8
Right on Vivo!!! – I have been a longtime fan of Vivo, though I had not been there for a while. Recently I went with some friends and was delighted to find that it was even better than last I had been there. We tried a few tapas and split a steak, tuna and a pizza...the food was as good as any place I have been to in Milwaukee, Chicago or LA. Our server was wonderful, very helpful with a great sense of humor and the vibe was fun...it kept us there longer than we planned! Congrats to Vivo for maintaining high standards in cuisine and service and for keeping the atmosphere fun and friendly!
Are you serious? – I cant believe Vivo has recieved this high of reviews. It is way too pretentious... the food is really average in taste despite the complicated and worldy names for the dishes. I used to go here for the occasional overpriced drink or decent slice of pizza... but to call it "hip" and "highly reccommended?" Please. Im now living in NYC which may be cause for my jaded perspective, but really this place is so mediocre, terrible slow and careless service, especially if your young and cute (totally backwards!)
Nothing Special – I read the reviews here and decided to try it. Ordered from the Tapas menu and wasnt impressed. Olive and Cheese plate: 2 white cheeses on a white plate, 3 types of olives (one of which were pimento stuffed used for Martinis) and that was about it. Yucca Fries: different, but really dry. The sauces need more flavor to make up for the fries, or they need to coat them with some spices/evoo/or parmesan to make them interesting. Chorizzo: it was basically a bratwurst, thick skin on and not spicy at all. It was served at room temperature (almost cold). The sauce looked like it was going to be bold, but it was boring, the roasted garlic was bitter not sweet. Cheesecake was good. I expected Vivo to be hopping at 10:00 on a Saturday night, but it was dead. Service was ok, wine good, but I wont return.
Fantastic! – We had a great experience at Vivo. The eclectic menu offers something for even the most discriminating diner. We chose the NY Strip Vivo Style (topped with onion/garlic mojo & chimichurri). Our steak was cooked perfectly and the Yucca Fries were a welcome change from the traditional, run of the mill fries. I would recommend their plantains as well. Unlike so many other trendy restaurants, the staff members were very welcoming and friendly.
amazing brunch – I expected good brunch going to Vivo because of their dinner menu which is amazing. But the brunch even exceeded my expectations. I had the crab hash, which has fresh blue crab topped off with over easy eggs, and a siracha hollandaise. It was out of this world, the plate came with fresh pineapple, watermelon and cantelope. Presentation, service, speed, and atmosphere were top notch.
Such a great place! – Where to start? A great atmosphere, outstanding food and great service! The "stone pie" (pizza) was so good and the panini sandwiches were fabulous too. Our waitress was completely on top of everything - like she read our minds! The ambience is so cool and unlike anything you'll find in Milwaukee. I can't wait to go back!
Two thumbs up!
Excellent Dining Experience – I highly recommend Vivo Urban Grill for cocktailing and dining. As a professional who travels to different cities I was pleased to find such a fabulous restaurant to entertain clients.
Not only is the decor and ambience upscale chic, the outstanding food can easily compete with any upscale restaurant in NY or Miami. The service exceeds other big city restaurants I have frequented. The staff was extremely accommodating to my needs to entertain my clients.
The lower level was perfect for conversation while upstairs had a hip club atmosphere to it. I definately will be back for more. So many dishes to little time. Thanks for the hospitality.

When a reporter read the Alabama High School Athletic Association press release to him over the phone and asked if that was official enough, he said: "Yeah, I'd say so."
Class 6A's top-ranked Clay-Chalkville was discovered to have played an ineligible player in all of its games this season, and the school was ordered to forfeit all nine of its wins.
With Oxford's lone region loss coming to Clay-Chalkville, 30-21 in Week 3, the Jackets inherited the Class 6A, Region 7 crown.
"All transfer students must be in good standing when they transfer from the previous school," AHSAA executive director Steve Savarese said in an impromptu press conference from the state volleyball tournament. "Clay-Chalkville was in violation of that rule."
Savarese declined to comment further, but did indicate that Clay Chalkville would appeal the AHSAA's decision today at 10 a.m. to the Central Board of Control.
Theoretically, Clay-Chalkville could win its appeal, but that rarely happens.
While the region crown is nice — however it comes — Grass said it would make little difference in this case. It's not like the Jackets even knew who they'd be playing anyway.
Oxford crosses with Region 7, which has a three-way tie for third place. Depending on the outcome of Week 10 games, the Jackets could get either Pelham, Spain Park or Vestavia Hills, all of which are 5-4 on the season.
"It really don't change a lot for us," Grass said. "It's a not a huge deal.
"... When you're in the playoffs you know you're going to get good team. We're more worried about how we're playing than who we're playing."
If anything, Oxford can empathize with the Cougars' plight.
In 2007, the Yellow Jackets were shut out of the playoffs after it was discovered they had used an ineligible player.
In the season's final week, the Yellow Jackets were forced to forfeit seven of their wins that season, eliminating them from playoff contention.
The Oxford City Council and Mayor Leon Smith later issued a proclamation declaring the Yellow Jackets, then ranked No. 8 in the state, national champions.
Prep sports writer Nick Birdsong contributed to this report.

Sausage, sauerkraut, pierogis sounds pretty good to me. I just try to make my own pierogis. Does anyone have a recipe for them? I think I want to do bacon and potato filling. If I can not find a recipe for them the bacon will go into the pan with the onions and sauerkraut.

The story begins with "Once upon a time;" the recipe begins with "Onions."
Both have the same effect: to set the mood. Onions get right to work scenting the kitchen savory, flavoring the oil sweet, deepening the color and complexity of the dish as it unfurls.
Not that every opening line reads alike. The recipe may suggest a mere sweat: low heat until limp. It may insist on caramelize: low heat all the way to a deep, sticky sweet. It may specify the saute: medium heat, until golden. Or it may brave brown: medium heat until crisp — usually reserved for liver-and-onion duty. Then there's the deep-fry, best known to the onion ring.
I had assumed the onion spectrum ran from pale to sticky to crisp. An assumption, like most, that proved clumsy.
I was enlightened while cooking curry with friends. The recipe I'd been assigned called for onions, brown-fried. Which called for me to look perplexed. And, giving in, to read the instructions.
Brown-fry is unique — or so the cookbook claimed — to Indian cuisine. It sizzles in the zone between saute and deep-fry. Compared with browning, the technique calls for more oil — about 2 tablespoons per cup of onions. It calls for more heat — a medium-high flame. And it calls for more attention — constant stirring until the onions turn a deep crisp/tender brown.
It's a lovely method and yielded a lovely stew. It's good to know that even "Once upon a time" can be refreshed. And refreshing.
Indian lamb and cashew stew
Prep: 1 hour
Cook: 1 hour 15 minutes
Serves: 6
¼ cup vegetable oil
2 cups finely chopped onions
2 pounds ground lamb
2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger root
3 teaspoons garam masala or ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
3/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
2 bay leaves
11/2 teaspoons coarse salt
21/2 cups chopped fresh tomatoes (or 1 28-ounce can whole tomatoes)
½ cup water
1 15-ounce can chickpeas, including liquid
3 tablespoons cashew butter (recipe follows)
About 2 cups cooked rice
For garnish:
1 onion, quartered and thinly sliced
1 green chili, chopped
Roasted cashews (recipe below)
Brown-fry: Heat oil in a large, heavy pot set over medium-high heat. Add onions. Cook, stirring regularly, until caramel brown, about 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a wide skillet, cook lamb over medium-high heat, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 12 minutes. Drain in a colander. Set aside.
Add garlic and ginger to the onions, and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add garam masala, coriander, turmeric, red pepper, bay leaves and salt; stir 1 minute.
Add fresh tomatoes. If using canned, run tomatoes and their juices through the food processor first. Add browned lamb, chickpeas (and their liquid) and cashew butter. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until thick (like chili), about 45 minutes. Stir often.
Add more salt and ground red pepper if need be. Heap rice onto one side of a serving bowl, lamb stew on the other. Garnish. Enjoy.
Adapted from Julie Sahni's "Classic Indian Cooking," by way of my friend Elizabeth.
Roasted cashews and cashew butter:
Measure 2/3 cup cashews into a small cast-iron pan. Add 1 teaspoon butter, 2 teaspoons vegetable oil and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Slide pan into a 400-degree oven and roast, shaking now and then, until deep brown and crisp all the way through, about 11 minutes. Set aside half the roasted nuts for garnish. Run the rest through the food processor or blender until mixture resembles smooth peanut butter.

Hundreds of thousands of people should make it to the Taste of Chicago, but I won't be one of them.
Random Sweat Transfer.
You're stuck in a teeming sea of humanity at the Taste, all those hot, sweaty bodies, when someone bumps into you, their exposed arms and/or back drenched with sheets of their own perspiration. You've been slimed.
That's RST. Merely typing the words makes me gag.
"I call it the 'Waste of Chicago,'" writes Facebook friend Jerry V. "How much overpriced food can you gorge yourself with in one day instead of just finding a nice local eatery to enjoy a meal with friends. Or am I being unkind?"
That's why I came up with my own Taste of Kass, and asked readers on Facebook to recommend their favorite joints free of the heartbreak of RST. So here are my favorite tastes.
If there is one work of art in Chicago area dessert, it has to be the dark chocolate sorbet at Mancini's, 1111 Lake St., Oak Park. Simple. Mysterious. Devastating. Provocative. The essence of Italian chocolate.
Think of cold chocolate in concentrated form. Anyone who tastes it emits an involuntary deep roll of the eyes. It is the 50 shades of chocolate sorbet.
I purchased a gallon and brought it home for a Fourth of July barbecue and six women all but passed out on the deck it was so good. If you have an argument with your wife, don't get her jewels. Get the dark chocolate sorbet instead.
"The flavors all come in liquid form from Italy, not powder," said proprietor Al Mancini. "That's why it has the good taste."
And Freddy's Pizza, 1600 S. 61st Ave., Cicero, might just have the best ice on the planet. I've already recommended that owner Joe Quercia, famed soccer analyst, become the White House chef. And don't forget the pizza and entrees. A chocolate ice combo with any fruit ice is preferred. But eat it slow. Otherwise, you get the Freddy's head, or "brain freeze."
Another top ice can be found at Teddy's Red Hots, 737 Plainfield Road, Darien. Fruit ice is perfect with a Chicago dog.
Of course another must-taste is the Original Rainbow Cone, 9233 S. Western Ave. If I don't mention it, the entire Southwest Side will get angry.
But you can't have ice cream without first having breakfast. And where can you find a decent breakfast for only about five bucks?
Billy Goat Tavern on Lower Michigan. Best breakfast deal in the city. For about five bucks you get a big toasted Kaiser roll, real eggs, real cheese and real bacon. And coffee.
No double caramel latte with soy milk. No snooty "protein" wraps. How much bacon do you get?
"Three, four slices," said proprietor Sam Sianis.
What else you want?
My all-time favorite comfort food meal: the superb veal saltimbocca alla Romana at Bruna's Ristorante, 2424 S. Oakley Ave., with a side of linguini aglio. The first time I had some, my luncheon companion was a fellow named Daley who'd just been elected mayor of Chicago.

Things I liked:Workmanship,power,customer support second to none.I have the early model that is no spin-lock, works for me.
Things I would have changed:Don't care for the stock that comes with them,planning to order a mad dog stock soon fills the empty spaces on the gun. Very loud, sounds like 22lr going off.
What others should know:Be prepared to shell out some greenbacks , very expensive,by the time you buy a scope ,pump and what ever else your into some money.The bipod they make is light duty go with aftermarket.
Things I liked:In my opinion this is a very well made and high quality rifle. It has amazing power and accuracy for an air gun.
Things I would have changed:Instead of dovetail rails maybe change them to picatinny rails or weaver rails.
What others should know:The Condor is very loud, this rivals a .22LR in noise level.
Things I liked:What's not to like....after one frustration after another with break barrels, I decided to take the plunge into PCPs. This was a great first pick. With gun pumped up to 2700psi and power setting at #3 (out of 12) this puts a 21 grain pellet out the muzzle at 950fps. I get 50 shots at about 20psi decrease/shot and end up at about 925fps last shot. I have 50 yard range in my backyard and consistently shoot quarter sized 10 shot groups.
Things I would have changed:Trigger; make it adjustable. Like less 1st stage travel and lighter let off on second stage. OTOH, pull crisp with just a hint of creep which will probably go away after use.
What others should know:I bought Ultimate package which is good but had to buy risers for high profile rings to get line of sight for eye correct. Actually, Airforce hand pump quite easy to use to fill to 2700psi. No need to kill yourself, 50 pumps a rest and sip of wine, 50 more pumps etc. Takes about 150 pumps to go from 1700psi to 2700psi.

Barbers >Selah Studio ( Formerly Selah Salon And Day Spa)

Monday By Appointments
Tuesday- Friday 9am-7pm
Saturday 8:30am-4pm
Neighborhoods: Downtown West, Saint Louis, Downtown St. Louis (West)
Scream V – The experience was so poor that it would have made you scream!
They push you from one station to another each hosted by a different operator. Prices are usually $40 higher than what you were quoted on the phone as if they make up charges as they go along. Nothing is consistent there.
They try to impress you yet it is poorly run and over charged.
The staff is always late and constantly engaged in gossip about the other staff members. For a simple rinse, I was in there for four hours.
Owner and staff promote relaxer-free, natural hair styles and how easy it is to take care of. Yet you go back and the owner has shaved her head. Hmmmm.
I won't go back.
Horrible Experience!!! – I was new to town and went to Selah Salon because it was right around the corner from my apartment and looked like a nice place, never again!!! I got a bikini wax and it was awful! The stylist was almost 45 mins late, and then proceeded to tear my skin apart. I could barely walk for two days!! On top of that she didn't even do a good job, I had to go to a different salon about a week later to get it re-done! Never again.
Damaged! Damaged! Damaged! – I am a black woman with very coarse curly hair (or with what is know in the african-american community as natural hair). However do to my profession and the fact that I love to change my style every once in a while I like to have my hair straightened without having to use chemicals. I made the mistake of going to Selah to get my healthy natural hair straightened for an event that I was attending the next day. Usually when natural hair is temporarily straightened it will return to being curly and coarse after a couple of washes. THIS WAS NOT THE CASE AFTER I LEFT SELAH! After waiting for about an hour to see if the woman I had made my appointment with would show up this other woman said that she would only shampoo my hair in order to get me "ready" for the woman I made my appointment with. After a very rough shampoo where it felt like my head was being handled like a basketball and the shampoo suds gathered in my ears this woman proceeded to straighten my hair. Again, as she said to get me ready for my appointed stylist. 2 hours had gone by. Finally the woman who was originally suppose to take care of my hair walked in and began to vigurously straighten and cut my hair. I must admit the hair was cute after all of the chaos but the real test came when it was time for it to return to its natural state. After numerous washes (which is suppose to return my hair to its original state) all I am left with is a head full of half straight and half curly hair. I look like a mix between a chia pet and sammy davis jr. I am highly disappointed in the service that I received. the gossip at the different stations is also rampid at Selah's. I am afraid that I may have to cut most of my hair off to get rid of the damage. I left feeling tired and over charged. Never again will I step foot in Selah's Salon and Day Spa in St. Louis, MO.
Pretentious – If you have the patience of a Saint or a day to waste, then this is the place to get your hair "did".
I wonder who wrote those positive reviews; the owner? I will never recommend another naïve person to the pretentious place again. I am just blown away by the rudeness of the owner and staff (they have to go along with her or they'll be looking for another job). At any rate, if you make an appointment with the owner (who is really good) be prepared to wait, because she may have to conduct other business, eat her lunch, go next door and visit awhile, or talk to the staff (about other staff members who didn't show up), all before she will get to your hair. However, if you chose to leave, instead of wait for her, (after all you may have a life, and your own business to conduct) be prepared for avenge. Should you be stupid enough to believe that you might want to give her the benefit of the doubt and try her once more (like I did), you can rest assure the avenge will come at the most inopportune time. Stupid me made an appointment with the owner a week in advance; I showed up on time, only to have the owner look me dead in the eyes and say "Can't do your hair, won't do your hair, I gotta go; my other stylist will do your hair". As I turned to leave, I informed her that she could have called me. Her and her staff stood there with smirks; however, then I understood it was about "payback time". I was hurt; however, I needed to find someone to do my hair for my Aunt's viewing and funeral the next day. Praise be to God! It all worked out and I found a wonderful stylist. I should have listened to all the ones that I had recommended to the owner of Selah in the past. They all came back and reported the same experiences as I had had; but I try to look for the good in people and I thought she could use the money. Because of her, I now know what maliciousness is, and God do not like anyone treating one of His children evilly; with that being said, I want to see how her business is holding up a year from now. All I can say is pray before you go!
horrible: will never go back – I wanted to support downtown businesses, so I made an appointment for a cut and color at Selah. When I got there, everyone was very nice. The owner started to work on my hair, ensuring me that the color I wanted was attainable. Then everything went bad. She pawned me off onto an 'apprentice'. That means this girl was not in beauty school, had no certification, was just beginning to learn. I was upset, as I had requested the owner to do my hair, and was paying the price for her skills...not a student. This girl was instructed to mix the dye for my hair and apply it. I was very uncomfortable with her doing this, but thought the owner would be supervising. She didn't. I was there for over four hours while random people messed with my hair. They had no idea what they were doing. AT ALL. My hair turned out horrible, and they were so careless that they stained and ruined the back of my shirt with the dye. My hair was so bad at the close of business hours, we worked out an agreement that I would come back in the next morning at 6 AM before work so she could fix my hair. The next morning, she only made things worse. I was there for another four hours that day...to finish only with bright purple hair. And a horrible cut. The owner, who was supposed to be doing my hair, but instead had just intermittently glanced at the progress of the students...apologized for the way my hair turned out and told me she would not take my money. Good, because I was not going to pay her anyway. My hair was literally purple. When I went to my office later that day, my co-workers suggested I take the day off and get it fixed. I had to do just that. And my hair was in horrible condition, as they had no idea what they were doing and overbleached and overprocessed it. This is a horrible salon, unprofessional...beware...the stylists are not all certified and will mess up your hair!!!! Very unprofessional and disregard for people's time, hair and money. I will never go there again and have dissuaded many from trying them. My hair did not recover for a long time.
Very unprofessional – I had read the good reviews for Selah and decided to use them for my hair on my wedding day (I was not getting married where I live so I couldn't use my normal salon). While the trial run was okay -- we got the right style after a number of attempts -- they ended up being one of the most unprofessional vendors I can imagine working with. At 3:30 pm ON THE DAY BEFORE MY WEDDING, they called to inform me that the stylist who had done my trial had left the salon 3 weeks before. They then flat out lied to me, saying they'd tried to get in touch with me -- they obviously had my cell phone number but had never left a voicemail message with me, and I searched my phone records and never found a missed incoming call from them. They said they were still free to do my hair the next day and understood that I might want to do another trial, but when was I supposed to do another trial when my wedding was less than 1 day away?!?!? In the end, my day of planner was able to find another vendor for me to work with, so I canceled my appointment with Selah. This may have just been an instance in which something went wrong at the salon, but this was the one real stress of my wedding weekend, which is NOT was any bride needs.
Excellent Service – From beginning to end I had excellent service at this salon. I was treated very well and I would definitely recommend any of the services they have to offer. They were quite knowledgeable about natural hair care and I will continue to utilize their services.
Selah could teach San Francisco salons a few tricks. – This week I was attending a high school journalism conference with four of my students. To reward myself for taking the five days out to support the students in their news endeavors, I scheduled some much-needed salon services on my first day in St. Louis. The Renaissance concierge directed me to Selah, which was just six blocks down on Washington Street.
From the moment I arrived, the aestheticians were welcoming and friendly, calling me "Miss Lisa," which was a charming introduction to the way that St. Louis people talk to each other.
Ondre greeted me, set me up in the spa chair for my pedicure, and attended to every last detail: the temperature of the water, conversation about who I was and what I enjoyed, confessions about his plans to retire in Puerto Rico . . . I feel as though Ondre provided the most wonderful, friendly introduction possible to St. Louis residents. I truly enjoyed my time in the salon because of him!
The quality of both my manicure and pedicure was impeccable. Though for some reason, my manicures normally begin chipping by the next day (I know! Isn't that annoying? I think it's because my nails are soft), my current manicure is still perfect three days later.
I also got a brow wax, and was scared when she suggested that we "take some off the middle," but was pleasantly surprised by the results.
My biggest surprise happened at checkout when the woman told me that Selah was a "no-tip salon." I had never heard of that before. It makes sense, given the prices of the services, which seem to incorporate a generous portion to be allotted to the service providers, but there is something uniquely satisfying about getting to checkout and knowing exactly what you are expected to pay. When she directed me to write a review as a "gratuity" for the aestheticians, I promised that I would, because I had been treated so well and received such high-quality service.
San Francisco's salons could borrow a page or two from Selah's book!
Most Salons I've been to are the same old story....wait for hours on end to receive a hair do....not to mention horrible customer service. Well, not yesterday. Selah has opened my eyes to what REAL customer service means. The staff didn't treat me as if I were privileged to be there, but the staff treated me as if they wanted me to return again and again. I had excellent service from not one person but the entire staff, and they were truly genuine!!! I can honestly say that this is the first time I've seen a team in a salon and the Best Service Yet.
very comfortable, like home salon-friendly, chatty staff!! love the dog!! – great shampoo-conditioning experience...great layers in my hair!! jacqueline is cool!! the owner is very nice and the whole team morale is great!! they are very much a team there!! cant wait for my color!!

Hello fellow students! My name is Phuong Nguyen, I transferred here from Everett Community College with an AAS degree and will be a senior next fall. I am majoring in Business with a double concentration in management and marketing. After graduation I will be seeking a position in corporate HR, ideally at Boeing, because I like to interact with people and I would prefer to work with them instead of numbers and a computer all day. My favorite part about UWB is that it's a smaller more intimate campus, therefore classes are smaller so the instructors actually interact with me and know my name. I currently reside in Everett and work at the Spaghetti Factory in Lynnwood as a server. In my free time between school and work I like to run (especially 5k's), visit the driving range, and most of all, explore new places to eat! I look forward to getting to know all of you and hope you are excited as I am for this upcoming year!

Welcome to the University of Maine's speech therapy telepractice and technology training program in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders, Madelyn E. & Albert D. Conley Speech, Language and Hearing Center. We use a secure web-hosted video conferencing system to provide speech therapy services to adults and children anywhere and at any time through computers or other devices connected by high speed internet. Technology allows our clinicians to create a highly enriched, interactive environment to promote the learning of new communication skills.
Telepractice is an efficient way of providing services in a predominantly rural state, and it is an extremely cost effective way to deliver the services necessary for children and adults with communication disorders. Our training program provides the highest quality training for graduate students in Communication Sciences and Disorders in the delivery of speech therapy telepractice in compliance with the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association standards (2005; 2010), federal laws, and licensing pertaining to telemedicine.
