I've been collaborating with Alissa Walker for the last year and a half on a bunch of stories about LA people/places for the New York Times T Magazine. It's fun discovering new things about this city and also celebrating its history. I also just really love working with Alissa on our pitches and things we're noticing. We have a lot of fun together. I've also been assigned a couple of stories on my own. Here are some recent stories we've collaborated on and a couple I just shot:
The opening of Night Market Song in Silver Lake. The east side finally got some fiery authentic (sometimes weird) thai food. Alissa and I got to go and taste everything for research and it was amazing. it's a local favorite now:

A place in my neighborhood that I just adore, Ouli. It's a tiny shop in Echo Park run by the sweetest most design savvy people and I love seeing them thrive.
Read Alissa's article about Ouli here.
The revamping of the San Vicente Bungalows. Jeff Klein, the hotelier behind the Sunset Tower in Hollywood, has bought the old bungalows and has grand plans for revamping this oasis in the middle of the city.

Customer experience is our number one priority. Our philosophy is that our customers deserve to be treated just as well as we'd treat our own families. And, we make it our mission to support you and your growing families with warmth and comfort.
Take a look at our customer's story, Shayna Pritchard of Alberta, Canada, who installed our Environ II™ foil mat floor heating system in their basement living area and bedroom, in preparation of their arriving second bundle of joy.
Keeping the Bundle of Joy Warm and Comfy
We had a bit of a problem. We were expecting our second child, and weren't sure what room to put the second baby?
Option 1 was to move our 2 year old downstairs and have the baby upstairs with us, which was not the answer as my 2 year old was petrified of being downstairs on her own. Option 2 was to set up our baby's room downstairs. The problem with option 2 was the temperature difference of the basement compared to the rest of the house especially in our cold Canadian winter.
And so, I searched for an answer. I spoke to local heating and plumbing shops, and local flooring suppliers, I also asked electricians, friends, and family. What I wanted was possible, but no one had ever heard of a product to be used under carpet. We had already been shopping for carpeting and were told that it was likely if we did find some kind of heating product to use, the warranty on our new carpet would likely be void.
That was when I came across WarmlyYours. The WarmlyYours staff were so very helpful with information about the product, helping me decide how many and what size of mats were needed, and what underlayment was recommended. I was able to confirm with the carpet brand that the use of WarmlyYours heating mats would not affect the carpet's warranty.
My daughter is now one-and-a-half years old and sleeps well in her cozy bedroom. It is reassuring to know that when I put her down at night, even if she kicks off her blankets, I can regulate the temperature in her room to keep her warm enough.
While we decided the heating mats would be worthwhile for the baby's room, we also decided to place mats in both the other spare room and in the living room while we were at it. It is so nice to come downstairs and step on soft, warm carpet! Our previously cold and stale basement is now so warm and welcoming with the addition of new carpeting and WarmlyYours floor heating.
Thanks WarmlyYours!
The Pritchard Family

Superconducting circuits based on Josephson junctions are promising candidates for the implementation of solid-state qubits. In most of the recent experiments on these circuits, the qubits are controlled by a classical field containing a large number of photons. The possibility of coherently coupling these systems to a single photon has been recently suggested, opening the possibility to study analogs of quantum optics in condensed matter systems. I will review one of these proposals based on a superconducting charge qubit fabricated inside a high quality transmission line resonator and will describe its recent experimental realization. When the qubit is brought into resonance with the resonator, vacuum Rabi splitting is observed indicating that the regime of strong coupling has been reached. When the qubit is detuned from the cavity, I will explain how quantum non-demolition measurement can be realized. I will discuss how the measurement process can be quantitatively understood in this regime allowing us to explore the effect of measurement back-action on the qubit and to extract, for the first time in superconducting qubits, large visibility in Rabi oscillations.

The three school systems in Jackson County have called for a vote in March 2011 on another round of sales tax funding for education.
If approved by voters, the education Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (E-SPLOST) is designed to bring in up to $100 million in education funds for the three school systems to share over a five-year period, starting in 2012, although expectations of revenue are actually much lower.
School leaders from all three systems in Jackson County are calling for a March vote on extending the education special option local sales tax for another five years. Those pennies could bring in up to $100 million by the most optimistic estimates.

Bret Hart spoke with Wrestle Talk TV Extra. Here are some of the things he had to say about Triple H.
"I have a certain amount of respect for Triple H. I remember when he first came in, I remember commenting on stuff that he did. Because I'd usually give wrestlers my thoughts and try to help them on stuff… Triple H has always been a good wrestler. But great? What is he now, a 1,000 time world champion? How great really is he?
"I look at [CM] Punk… I can look at certain wrestlers and I go, this guy is an innovator. Like a Rey Mysterio, who's done stuff that no one has ever thought of before. Punk has done stuff — really unique moves and you go, 'gee I've never seen anything like that before.' They innovate all the time, and they create new sequences and moves and things.
"Then you look at someone like Triple H. When I look at him — he's always had a good look as far as his body went — he always had a pretty muscular physique. But you look at someone like Hunter and you wonder, what has he really done. One move that he ever created that nobody ever saw before or some highspots or an idea for a match… He's mostly a guy that just showed up and they made him. He's always been a decent wrestler — I would consider him a good wrestler and pretty talented. But great? I don't know, I don't think so.
"What has he ever done that's great? He's never had a great match, I don't think ever. Whenever I look at Triple H's matches, including the last one he had with Undertaker — and I don't really mean it as a knock — but I told myself before I watched it because I'm trying to like Paul now these days, that I want to see him do something to make me think he's got greatness in him.
"Before Triple H wrestled Undertaker last year, I remember watching it and going, 'I can picture the whole match in my head, I can tell you exactly what this match is going to be like and how it's going to go. And I remember watching it and it went exactly how I predicted it… I thought it was mediocre at best, maybe a 4 out of 10, or 3 out of 10.
"I think Paul is a little overrated… overrated for being great. I can sit here and tell you that there was one match that he ever had with anybody that I thought was great. It's kind of a shame, he should have a great match somewhere with somebody. And you'd think that he would have had it by now, but I don't think he's a great wrestler."

RIAA Abandoning Mass Lawsuits In Favor Of Backroom 3 Strikes Policy
It really was just three days ago that we suggested that if the record labels actually wanted anyone to take them seriously concerning their desire to come up with more constructive solutions to the business model challenges they face, they should at least stop suing folks as a gesture of trying something new. The usual recording industry defenders in the comments claimed this was a ridiculous suggestion, but it appears that the RIAA is at least taking a small step in that direction. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that the recording industry (the WSJ mis-labels it 'the music industry') is abandoning its strategy of mass lawsuits.
First off, this is a step in the right direction -- and we think it's great that the record labels have agreed to do this, even if it's many, many years too late. And, it's hardly a huge concession. The lawsuits have been an unmitigated disaster. They have done nothing to slow file sharing (in fact, the publicity generated from the lawsuits has often been credited with alerting many people to the possibility). The strategy has also splintered the file sharing space into many, many different players, many of them way underground, unlike in the early days when there were a manageable number of players who could be worked with proactively. It's also done tremendous damage to the brands of the major record labels (Universal, Warner, EMI and Sony) and the RIAA itself -- leading many to swear off buying any of their products. Finally -- and most importantly -- the strategy did absolutely nothing to help musicians adapt to a changing market that was opening up tremendous new opportunities both to spread their music and to profit. So, kudos to the folks at the RIAA for finally realizing how backwards this strategy has been.
The fine print
But, of course, this is the RIAA, so you can rest assured that the details aren't anything to be happy about. In exchange for not filing mass lawsuits, the RIAA has worked out backroom deals with numerous ISPs (brokered by Andrew Cuomo -- who has a history of using baseless threats to get ISPs to censor content they have no legal responsibility to censor). The exact details are a bit sketchy, but it sounds like a variation on the ridiculous three strikes policy that has been (mostly) rejected in Europe as a violation of basic civil rights. Basically, these ISPs will agree to be the RIAA enforcers. Based solely on the RIAA's flimsy evidence, the ISPs will either pass on, or directly email subscribers with, warning letters. Depending on the specifics of the agreement, the users will get one or two more warning letters before the ISP will start limiting their internet access or potentially cutting them off entirely. If you think this sounds suspiciously like what Europe just rejected, you're right.
And, of course, the RIAA still says it may sue those who don't stop file sharing after all of this. They're just backing away from the mass lawsuit filings that they've been doing.
Why this is still a bad deal
Okay, so over the past few weeks, recording industry defenders have said that we were jumping the gun in criticizing a potential plan because it wasn't final. Our point was that since the record labels claim they want a 'conversation,' these deals shouldn't be negotiated in backrooms not involving substantial stakeholders. So what happened here? Yup, a backroom deal was negotiated without any involvement from users. And it was done under the direction of Andrew Cuomo, who just spent many months browbeating ISPs into agreeing to censor content.
So, hopefully, we won't be told that we're being premature in criticizing this plan -- but somehow I find it unlikely.
This plan is hardly a major concession by the record labels and the RIAA. The lawsuit strategy was a massive failure in almost every facet. Giving them up is hardly a big deal. It's admitting what pretty much everyone else knew from the beginning: that suing your fans and customers is a monumentally dumb move. Ending a brain-dead, self-defeating policy is worthy of kudos, but only for finally recognizing the obvious -- not as some magnanimous gesture.
And in exchange for the RIAA stopping its policy of shooting itself in the foot, we get ISPs making a huge concession themselves, agreeing to become RIAA enforcers, despite the clear safe harbors they have via the DMCA. These ISPs will now be heavily involved in the process of policing their users, increasing their expense, which of course will be passed on to users.
But the biggest problem is the fact that this allows private organizations to judge users without any significant defense on their part. The stories of falsely accused file sharers are widespread at this point. IP address-based evidence is notoriously unreliable. Yet, the RIAA will be basing its notifications on such evidence. Sure, plenty of the IP addresses dug up by the RIAA are probably accurate, but we live in an innocent-until-proven-guilty world, and this does away with that completely.
Also, as the EU noted in rejecting this proposal, the 'punishment' hardly fits the crime. These days, an internet connection is a necessity -- and taking it away from people because someone is sharing the gift of music with others not for any sort of commercial gain is totally unbalanced. It takes away an individual's civil and privacy rights, all because the big record labels refuse to recognize that there are other business models out there that already work. And that final point may be the most important. As we noted in explaining why the music tax is a bad idea, none of these moves by the RIAA are actually necessary.
Musicians are figuring out plenty of fantastic business models that work wonders, and many of them actually involve embracing file sharing and using that to help grow their markets. What's wrong with letting those business models establish themselves, without brokering a totally unnecessary backroom deal that will almost certainly harm innocent people thanks to flimsy evidence?
So, yes, we're thrilled that the record labels have finally progressed to the point of realizing that mass lawsuits were a bad idea, but working out a backroom deal for a type of three strikes policy is not a particularly good solution. It's more of the same: trying to prop up an obsolete business model by a private industry unwilling or too stubborn to change with the market. That NY's Attorney General felt this private business model issue should involve his efforts in the midst of a huge financial crisis, including the largest Ponzi scheme ever, makes little sense.
If these are the 'new leaf' and 'open conversations' the record labels are insisting they're about these days, they've got an awful lot of work to do still.

Fiskars announced via the Fiskateers blog on Tuesday that after their CHA-Winter introductions they will no longer be introducing any new consumable products such as paper, stickers, and rub-ons. Instead, the company will return to its roots manufacturing durable goods – tools such as scissors, stamps and gardening implements.
The announcement says that the Heidi Grace, Cloud 9, Ink by Steph, Lil Davis, and Kimberly Poloson lines will continue, but that they will only contain non-consumable products in the future.
Why the drastic change in direction? According to the blog announcement, the company wants to get back to what it does best:
Fiskars has taken the time to reflect on the numerous awards and accolades they have received over the years in the area of tool design, and has decided that it's time to get back to its roots and do the thing that it does best: design and produce innovative, awesome, award-winning crafting and garden tools.

What is a Nursing Home
What is a Nursing Home
A nursing home is a place for people who don't need to be in a hospital but who require more assistance or treatment than is available at home.
Nursing homes offer long term care to people who need the safety and security of a residential setting. Residents may require personal and professional care, and may also need some assistance with daily living.Most nursing homes have nursing staff on hand 24 hours a day.
Some nursing homes are set up like a hospital, with nursing and medical care, as well as physical, speech and occupational therapies.
Others are set up more like a home, offering supported living, and are often more open and flexible e.g. with less rigid day-to-day schedules and facilities (like kitchens) open to residents.
Some will let couples live together. Nursing homes are not only for older people, they include anyone who might need 24-hour care.
Nursing homes may offer care to people with special needs associated with serious memory problems e.g. dementia or Alzheimer's disease.
They may offer palliative care – which is sometimes known as end of life care – for residents with a life-threatening illness.
There are also nursing homes, which offer around the clock nursing care to patients convalescing from an illness or after surgery.
Many residential homes offer respite care which offers short-term care to enable home carers or family members to have some time off.
Residents usually live in private or shared accommodation. There may be private or shared bathrooms/shower facilities.
There may be structured daily routines, or there might be a more open and flexible regimen.
Families sometimes need to choose a nursing home quickly due to an emergency, and it can be difficult to learn all you need to know in a very short space of time.
Nursing home care can be very expensive because of the personnel and specialized equipment needed to provide good patient care.
For some people the nursing home may be a long-term need for a family member who requires 24 hour care.
It is important to inform yourself as much as possible so that you can access the kind of care that is best for your family situation.
This website aims to give you as much information as possible so that you can weigh the options available to you and feel happy with the choices you have made.

Fine Eau-De-Vie de Pruneaux (Prunes), Morand, 700 mL
Morand: A Swiss Symbol.
There are two great pinnacles in the Valais: Matterhorn (Mont Cervin) and Williamine® Morand. As a symbol of the Valais and of Switzerland, Williamine® Morand has gained the status of a cult present for tourists to bring home. And what more welcome discovery to offer family and friends than the celebrated Williamine® Morand, with its distinctive fragrance so evocative of the Valais and the natural wonders of its alpine landscape. Every spirit has its preferred native soil. Whiskey, Armagnac and Cognac are all identified with a particular country or region, with a people, its traditions and culture. It is no accident that the Williams pear has established such firm roots in the Valais where it produces one of the world's most celebrated brandies. Unlike other spirits, fruit brandies draw their quintessence from the very soil that bears them. The climate and the rich, fertile earth of the Valaisan orchards – combined with the distiller's expert hand – have played a decisive role in building the reputation of Williamine® Morand.
Brandy Production: From cultivation of the fruit trees through cellar storage to fermentation in the still, there are strict rules governing the methods of manufacture of brandies bearing the Morand signature.The harvest period for berries and fruits starts in July/August with the mountain raspberries and apricots which the sun of the Valais endow with a very fine and succulent flesh. August and September are the busy months for Williams pears, apples, plums, prunes and quinces. Permanent contacts with producers and regular visits to centres of production ensure the best possible conditions for supply of the fruit. The fruits are crushed and delicately reduced to purées which are subsequently collected and kept in enamelled vats during alcoholic fermentation. Constant vigilance is maintained for the duration of the fermentation process, varying between 10 and 30 days depending on the fruit. After fermentation, the purées are kept in hermetically sealed vats. Distillation can begin. It is done very slowly through stills with rectifying plates, heated by steam, according to a process handed down through craft traditions and family recipes. Experience and intuition are the best guides for the distiller in the exercise of his art. The «head» and «tail» are eliminated and the «heart» conserved. Limpid, crystalline, heady with fiery aromas, the liqueur soon reveals its passionate soul. Six to eight months of maturation are necessary for the spirit to settle down, retaining only the purest and most refined fragrances of the fruit. Young, pure, delicate and open, it deploys all the wiles of seduction. Finally, there is bottling and labelling, before shipping to destinations near and far, where the elegant bottles of eaux-de-vie Morand carry the youthful and charming perfumes of the valaisan orchards.

Hiring private debt collectors for CSA means more money
19 Jan 2006
Selling the Child Support Agency's debt to private firms is an horrendous delegation of responsibility on the part of the government.
Andrew Greensmith, Vice Chair of Resolution, said: "The prospect of a percentage of money owed in child support being paid to debt collection agencies is morally wrong. Why should children and parents with care pay over the odds for the failure of the CSA to collect money properly owed to them?
"Similarly, there are many case where there is a genuine dispute in the amount owed, and where the CSA has failed to deal with this properly. Are these parents now going to have to argue on their doorsteps with debt collectors in order to get justice?"
Resolution has been calling for radical change since failures with the CSA first came to light and in June 2005 submitted its proposals in a report to government: "Reforming the Child Support Agency - Putting Money Where Mouths Are".
Key points:
The transparent formula, introduced in 2003, should be retained for most cases and be moved within the Inland Revenue to allow easy access to reliable income data, the key factor under the formula.
A new Child Maintenance Arbitrator should be introduced to quickly resolve complex cases so disputes can be settled fairly and decisively. This will prevent delays in payment. The removal of complex cases will unclog the Agency, freeing up resources. Couples will generally accept an imposed solution when they have had their say and a decision is made by an impartial, expert third party.
A separate Maintenance Enforcement Unit should be established with a single focus on ensuring payment. Existing powers should be used to a greater extent so that non-payment is not tolerated.
Couples should be able to agree a fair solution themselves and be bound by their agreement without the risk of interference by the Agency, unless there is a legitimate public interest such as a benefits claim. Where couples are already involved in divorce/separation proceedings in the courts, the court should retain jurisdiction so the overall financial settlement is not undermined by a subsequent CSA application.

Nigeria: Legislature set to ban female genital mutilation
المصدر:All Africa
The legislature is set to pass a law banning female genital mutilation and imposing a two year jail term for offenders.
The bill, which is currently being considered by the Senate, was unanimously passed by Nigeria's lower house, the House of Representatives last year. The senate is expected to conclude its deliberations on the bill in May, after which it will be sent to President Olusegun Obasanjo for his assent. The first clause of the Circumcision of Girls and Women (Prohibition) Bill says "No person shall circumcise a girl or woman and no person shall abet or aid the circumcision of any girl or woman."

Celebrity b.s.
Lisa Simpson would have theoretically gotten married yesterday
... if she were allowed to age. Move over, Chelsea Clinton.
This still is from an episode that aired in 1995.
But Lisa will remain 8 years old forever as best anyone can tell. Plus, maybe she's really the kind of girl that doesn't believe in marriage anyway.

Bryanna Clark Grogan's Vegan Feast Kitchen/ 21st Century Table: The kitchen journal of a vegan food writer.. I'm on Facebook and Twitter (see links in sidebar at right).
Thursday, November 5, 2009
We had a pan-full in the freezer leftover from the benefit dance show I organized 2 weekends ago, and I just love it. I actually had it for breakfast 3 days running. The last time I paired it with Ajvar, the Bulgarian red pepper and eggplant spread-- delicious!
For Sunday dinner, I had more leftovers-- DH's delicious spaghetti sauce:
(Sorry about the fuzzy picture!)
On Monday I made a large pot of my Japanese Noodle Soup with grilled tofu and vegetables and had a bowl of that for lunch:
That night, I used the rest of DH's spaghetti sauce, mixed with a little wine and half a package of Yves Veggie "Ground Round", and made a casserole with wholewheat penne, topped with my Okara Parmesan and some vegan "mozza". Baked it for 20 minutes or so-- wonderful!
With that, I braised some kale from our garden with a little olive oil, salt and garlic:
Tuesday, I went to work at the library and took some of the noodle soup and some of the pasta casserole for lunch. I stayed at my friend's Jenny's house in Courtenay that night-- we get together every 2 weeks to catch up and dance together. (Jenny's a bellydance teacher, and we used to dance in a troupe together.) Jenny's not a vegetarian, but she has a gorgeous garden and served us baked squash, steamed kale (really, nice tender kale!), a simple pasta, and garlic bread. Yum!
My mother had her 92nd birthday on Tuesday (no, that's not a typo-- 92!), so Jenny and I took her out to lunch on Wednesday after I went shopping. I had a very nice roasted corn and black bean fajita with sweet potato fries.
When I went shopping, I splurged a little on some ready-made items that I don't usually buy-- some canned Lebanese hummous and baba ganoush (Update: didn't like!), 3 kinds of canned beans (they were on sale), a huge artichoke, a portobello mushroom (more about those later), and some Gardein "Tuscans Breasts"-- a vegan chicken substitute made in Vancouver and being promoted by vegan chef Tal Ronen:
It is actually quite delicious! It would make a good marinade, I think. I probably won't buy it again, because I like my own dressings, but, if you are from Canada and you buy dressing, I'd recommend it.
By the time I got home, fed the cats, got wood out of the woodshed, made a fire, and put all the groceries, books and my overnight things away, I was starving, even though I'd had a substantial lunch. I had my big artichoke, just simmered in lemon-juice-laced water until tender, for a starter. For a dipping sauce, I mixed some of my Tofu Mayonnaise with a spoonful of melted Earth Balance and some dried dill:
Oh, that was good! Artichokes are expensive, so I don't eat them often, but it reminds me of when I was a kid in central California and in May, artichoke season, we would often just eat artichokes for dinner and there would be a huge bowl of the leave sin the middle of the table afterwards!
I microwaved some brown basmati rice that I had steamed and frozen, and the Gardein vegan "chicken breasts" I had purchased:
It was pretty good-- the sauce could have been a bit perkier and I think thinner pieces of the "chicken" would have been better. But I enjoyed it, all the same. (And there was plenty left for another meal.)
For "dessert" I had a simple salad with some of my new dressing:
This morning I had more of the Japanese Noodle Soup for breakfast (I like soup for breakfast!) and had a simple lunch of grilled "cheese" sandwich, using my "Cheddary Spread" for the filling.
I accompanied my sandwich with a grilled portobello mushroom salad with a balsamic/mustard dressing:
For a snack just a little while ago, I had a lovely soy mocha latte (homemade):
For dinner tonight? I have some taco shells left, and half a package of Yves Veggie "Ground Round", and some of my homemade taco paste in the fridge-- so, tacos, I'd say!

I'm rarely ever alone, but when I'm just making something for myself I do a "meal-in-a-bowl"--usually some sauteed greens and beans, nothing fancy, and it can't take more than 10 or 15 minutes!
- Fri Nov 06, 12:51:00 PM PST
Artichokes are my absolute favorite food in the world--your photo of yours is making me drool!
I like to make a big pot of veggie soup when I am alone, or simple one-pot meals--lots of veggies and beans!

Bryanna ... your 'solo' meals are wonderfully diverse and creative and tasty!! (That salad dressing you bought looks divine!!)
Most of my meals are solo actually, as hubby prefers to eat mostly raw. Plus, my work shifts go till 8pm at night, so those days I'm never home till after 8:30 or so.
But this week I've had breast of tofu with rice, barbecued tofu, white pizza (talked raw food hubby into a gluten free pizza of this!!) and pasta with pesto sauce.

I'm hardly ever alone, but when I am it's very simple: fruits, bagels, leftovers, chips and salsa. Your food looks delicious.

Pasta is my typical solo meal. It's usually whatever kind I have (always whole wheat) with olive oil, minced garlic, a dash of dried basil and red pepper flakes. If I have cherry tomatoes, I will quickly sautee them in olive oil and serve them on top.

When I'm alone and lazy, I make miso soup with noodles, leftover veggies or frozen ones. If I want to be more elaborate, I make a huge platter of nachos, vegan nacho cheese, guacamole, fresh salsa and refried beans, mmm. I love the idea of eating soup in the morning. You inspired me Bryanna!

My job takes me away from home during the week so I now (for the first time in life) eat alone during the week and then prepare to eat on weekends with hubby. I often cook in quantity on weekends so that I can have leftovers during the week. I like chik'n breasts made from gluten and tofu then rolled in Bryanna's seasoned coating mix .... mmmm. I chop these and put in salads and use a variety of colorful veggies and fruit on my salads. Lately I finish this meal with a variety of Dreena Burton's cookies and soy late's or tea.

I like the noodle soup when I am solo. Yeah, that's my kind of meal. I also like pan fried potstickers. Store bough from Trader Joe's, Thai vegetable potstickers. I also like all kinds of scramble tofu. I am not sandwich person. I love salads and soups, too.
My kitchen is being remodeled now so we are eating simple meals.
Thanks for sharing!

I'm having a rare night on my own tonight - and enjoyed a meal of one of my favourite dishes, sautéed kale ('tis the season!) with chickpeas and wholewheat fusili, splashed with veggie 'oyster' sauce. And a glass of red wine - YUM!

I know this blog post is old, but I found your blog when I Googled the blackberry cab sauv vinaigrette. I just bought it last night. Do you really like it? My problem is that I prefer making my own dressings, and when I buy a bottled vinaigrette I use it a couple times, then the novelty wears off and it sits in my fridge waiting for my bi-monthly purge. Did you finish the bottle? What were your fave salad combos to eat it with? Thanks, and love the blog!
- Wed Aug 24, 08:13:00 AM PDT
- Bryanna Clark Grogan said...
I agree totally, Gwen! I thought it was good for a "bought' dressing, but I've never bought it again. I like my own and they are so much cheaper!

One of the little boys I babysit for has, in the last few weeks, become completely obsessed with trains. At only four-years-old he has the New York City subway map memorized and can tell you a variety of ways to get to Times Square from wherever you are, what trains you can transfer to at Union Square, which trains run express and which ones local–something that, after almost ten years living here I still mess up daily. It seems like the train-loving phase is one that most little boys go through at one point or another and I find comfort in the fact that, in a day when seven-year-olds have their own iPhones, a child can still be awed by a technology invented in 1784. As much as I respect Arlo's newfound obsession, it has made agreeing on a bedtime book very hard. His older brother, Max, has long since moved on from his own train fixation and, understandably, doesn't want to hear about signaling systems and high-platform loading before falling asleep. Max is an avid reader and reminds me a lot of myself as a kid—he craves adventure and magic, something to get his imagination working and his heart racing, something that will make his dreams bizarre and spectacular.
The other night, with the clock quickly pushing toward "really past your bedtime" and my patience wearing thin, I saw The Polar Express pushed to the back of the bookcase, shining like a beacon of hope. Miraculously, the boys agreed to it, and for the next twenty minutes were absolutely entranced. Van Allsburg's drawings remain, to this day, some of the best children's book illustrations of all time–there is a softness to them that is both comforting and quietly eerie.
The Polar Express received rave critical reception when it was published in 1985. It won the Caldecott Medal for children's literature in 1986 and continues to make the School Library Journal's list of "top 100 children's books of all time" every year. It wasn't until the movie adaptation came out in 2004 that people's opinion of the story began to change. The huge-budget CGI movie, in which every grown-up has the ever-comforting and familiar voice of Tom Hanks and every child the blank stare of a zombie, incited criticism from publications like The New York Times for its eerie similarities to Reifenstahl's Nazi propoganda film, "The Triumph of the Will." Websites dedicated to outlining the similarities of Santa and Hitler popped up everywhere, changing many readers' perception of the book forever.
I wasn't aware of any of these criticisms until I decided to look up critical reception of the book after reading it to Max and Arlo last week. I had forgotten what a strange, uneasy feeling the book had given me in my guts as a kid, I always sort of dreaded my dad's reading of it around Christmas time. I couldn't get past the fact that the book's main character isn't at all weirded out when a creepily old-fashioned train pulls up outside of his bedroom window and a conductor–a man he does not know–starts beckoning to him from it. What's more, this nameless main character leaves the comfort of his bedroom and hops right onto the train, which is full of children, all lured from their homes in the middle of the night to take a trip to a very far away place.
One thing that I did love about the book, however, was the description of the hot chocolate that the kids drink while on board the train—hot chocolate that is "as rich as melted chocolate bars." This was something I could really get down with. Hot chocolate played a huge role in one of my most favorite Christmas traditions. Every year, my dad would take me and my sisters Christmas shopping, one at a time, in the three days immediately before Christmas. Getting to spend an entire evening with my dad without my sisters was very exciting. We walked around looking at all the Christmas lights, talking about school and books and carefully choosing gifts for my mom and each of my sisters.
What I liked best about this tradition, though, was that when we were done shopping my dad always bought me a fancy hot chocolate from Au Bon Pain. Before my dad introduced me to the fancy stuff I was used to Dunkin Donuts hot chocolate–thick and overly-sweet, coming out of a machine with the push of a button, or the gritty, artificial packets of Swiss Miss that my sisters and I always stirred into water and zapped in the microwave, so at first I wasn't sure if I liked this serious, grown-up version of hot chocolate. Soon though, I began to crave the bittersweet chocolate, the milk scalded by the handsome, teenage barista until it was almost burnt. Hot chocolate is, today, still one of my most favorite treats, and it never fails to bring me comfort. This is a recipe I created during my pastry days at Colonie. It became a tradition to make big, steaming mugs of it to get me and my fellow cooks through the freezing, two-hour-long Sunday evening walk-in-refrgerator deep-clean, which strangely, is one of my most favorite memories of my days working there.
Chocolate Orange Ganache
This recipe makes a pint of ganache that can be scooped into your mug and doused in scalded milk (or cream if you're feeling dangerous) whenever you have a hankering for hot chocolate. My mom always used to put chocolate oranges in our stockings at Christmas, so I have a real soft spot for that flavor combination. If you don't, feel free to skip the orange zest and juice, but do try it once before you skip it—it's fancy and delightful.
I love this method because it keeps forever and easily makes a single serving, which makes it dangerously simple to always have a very decadent treat on hand. It also makes a great gift for anyone you love or are trying to make fat.
- 8 ounces (1 cup) heavy cream
- 1 ½ teaspoons good vanilla extract
- 2 vanilla beans
- 12 ounces (1 ½ cups) good semi-sweet chocolate chunks or chips
- zest of 1 orange plus 2 tablespoons of juice
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- ½ teaspoon freshly-grated nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
- Milk or cream to scald and mix with ganache
Pour cream into a medium saucepan and add vanilla extract. Split vanilla beans lengthwise, scrape seeds into the cream and place pods in the cream as well. Place chocolate in a heat-proof bowl with orange zest, juice, and spicing and set aside. Scald cream over medium heat (scalding comes just before boiling, watch for small bubbles forming around the edge of the saucepan and steam rising from the cream's surface). Once scalded pour cream over chocolate and let stand for 30 seconds. After 30 seconds whisk chocolate and cream together until smooth and shiny. At this point the ganache will be the texture of chocolate syrup but once it's refrigerated overnight it will firm up to a soft, scoopable, fudge-like texture. For a single serving of cocoa, add about 2 teaspoons of ganache (or however much you like) to a mug, scald a cup of whole milk or cream, and pour it into the mug over the chocolate. Stir and top with marshmallow fluff (recipe follows). Store the rest of the ganache in the refrigerator, it will keep up to two months.
Vanilla Bean Marshmallow Fluff
Marshmallow fluff is a childhood staple—or it was for me, at least. We ate it with absolutely everything growing up and corrupted more than one neighborhood kid whose parents wouldn't allow them to have sugar. We didn't have very interesting toys, but man did we have fluff. As much as I love the supermarket stuff, making it from scratch is a giant improvement. Don't be scared by the boiling sugar and the candy thermometer, making it is insanely easy and hugely impressive.
Makes 1 quart
- ¾ cups sugar
- ½ cup corn syrup (light)
- ¼ cup water
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 large room-temperature egg whites
- ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 ½ teaspoons good vanilla extract
- seeds of 2 vanilla beans
In a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan stir together sugar, corn syrup, water and salt. Fit saucepan with a candy thermometer. Before turning stove on, mix together egg whites, cream of tartar, vanilla and vanilla bean seeds in the bowl of a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Turn mixer to medium-high and return to stove to boil your sugar mixture. Heat until thermometer reaches 240 degrees Fahrenheit. At this point your egg whites should be whipped to soft peaks (if you notice that your egg whites are whipping faster than your sugar is boiling simply turn the mixer off and resume when the sugar syrup is getting closer to temp). Once syrup is at 240 and egg whites are holding soft peaks, pour sugar syrup into a vessel with a spout, such as a measuring cup, for easy pouring (be very careful, hot sugar syrup is not something you want to splash on yourself). With the whisk on the mixer running at medium, very very slowly pour about 2 tablespoons of sugar syrup to allow the whites to come to temp without scrambling. Once those two tablespoons are incorporated you can pour the remainder of the syrup in in a slow and steady stream. Continue whipping until mixture is glossy and holding medium-stiff peaks (or until it looks like marshmallow fluff!). Serve immediately with hot chocolate or refrigerate—will keep for up to one month.

The Wrong Girl
by Zoe Foster
What happens when you discover the man of your dreams is going out with your best friend?
Sometimes you don't know what you want until someone else has it.
Lily needs a break. A man break. She hadn't exactly meant to sleep with her friend, Pete, and she certainly hadn't expected him to confess his love – for another girl – the next morning. If men were going to behave like such pigs, well, she'd happily take some time out.
Besides, her TV career requires all her attention right now. Jack Winters – the gorgeous new talent – is definitely proving a distraction, but Lily is determined to maintain her professional distance, even when Jack starts seeing someone completely inappropriate. It's only when Lily accepts that good things don't always come to those who wait and takes a leap into the great unknown that life starts making sense . . .
From the bestselling author of The Younger Man and Amazing Face comes a funny, heartfelt novel about what happens when life, love, work and friendships collide.
Read Caroline Baum's Review
After a few wrong turns, Lily and her friend Simone decide to go on a sabboytical or man break. Lily needs to focus on her TV production career on a cooking show but when the new on camera cook turns out to be a dish, her romantic fasting diet intentions are tested by an unexpected rival.
Zoe Foster may have a Miles Franklin winner as a father (who discouraged her from being a writer) but her talent is very much her own. Playful, hip and fun, she has the chick lit thing down pat – plenty of glamour, social media, goss, casual sex and girlfriend issues. Her ear for dialogue never lets her down and the likeable freshness of her own high profile as part of a media golden couple comes through on the page. This is her moment.
About the Author
Zoe Foster has written three novels, Air Kisses, Playing the Field and The Younger Man, as well as the dating and relationship book Textbook Romance, written in conjunction with Hamish Blake, and the bestseller Amazing Face, a collection of her best beauty tips and tricks.

Newtown shootings: Malloy's leadership to be tested again
Gov. Dannel Malloy has been the leader we needed in the wake of unimaginable tragedy in his state.
The governor's leadership will continue to be tested, today and in the days ahead, as will that of party heads in the Legislature. Despite the weight in our hearts, the world continues to turn. Wednesday the Legislature is to convene in special session to continue the work that was foremost in our minds before a gunman so suddenly changed our focus.
The state is facing an enormous budget deficit. And lawmakers will consider a remediation plan the governor assembled a few weeks ago.
Choices in the plan were difficult then. They are harder now.
The murders in Newtown have put aspects of our lives into new perspective, calling for perhaps reordering priorities, particularly in the area of mental health.
In closing the budget deficit, which has been projected at anywhere from $365 million to $415 million, the governor has been under tremendous pressure to not raise taxes, which he did last year to help close the $3.5 billion deficit he inherited upon taking office. In the governor's deficit remediation proposals, which add up to some $364 million, all but roughly $22 million comes in spending cuts, including heavy cuts to the Department of Social Services.
The killing in Newtown has shone a light on the historically inadequate attention we have paid to mental health. It is clear that the shooter Friday had a history of mental health problems. Whether the murders he committed would have been avoided if he'd had better treatment, if he had any, is unknowable. But in the state and in the country, even in robust economic times, we have not devoted enough resources for mental health providers to keep up with demand. If the governor's suggested cuts go through, Connecticut will fall even further behind.
According to the CTMirror, the governor's remediation plan would cut more than $35 million from services for the mentally ill, addicted and developmentally disabled.
"Are we doing enough from a mental health perspective to reach out to kids who are in trouble and their families?" Malloy said to reporters on Monday. "My sense is, we do not."
The deficit still must be closed. And it still is a terrible climate in which to raise taxes.
Many people in this state are struggling and, quite frankly, have had it on that count. But now, more than ever, it is clear that Malloy and legislators must work hard to minimize the impact to the safety net as they look for budget answers.
Perhaps take more from transportation initiatives or other areas. That's not an attractive solution either, given long-term economic implications, but harsh cuts to social services impact so many lives.
It doesn't always result in tragedies like Newtown. In fact, they rarely do. But they can result in innumerable hardships to individuals and families spread from one end of the state to the other. Smaller tragedies that the rest of us may never hear about, but tragedies nonetheless.

State Rep. Abdullah Hammoud is serving his first term in the Michigan House of Representatives, emerging as a strong voice for civil rights and a leading mind for health policy. He represents the 15th House District, comprised of his hometown city, Dearborn. As a proud son of immigrant parents, Hammoud has been unwavering in his commitment to Michigan and Dearborn for more than a decade. From volunteering at community cleanups with organizations like ACCESS to advocating to raise awareness for mental health conditions with the SAFE Substance Abuse Coalition, Hammoud has consistently given back to the community that fostered his growth and success.
Hammoud earned his bachelor's in science from the University of Michigan-Dearborn and his master's in public health from the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor. After working for three years as a health care consultant at the Center for Healthcare Research and Transformation, he felt a profound need to utilize his skills and knowledge to serve as a volunteer with the United Nations Relief and Work Agency in Jordan. During his months there, he led a successful initiative to reduce obesity among diabetic refugees throughout the Middle East.
In 2014, Hammoud was nominated and elected as the youngest board member for the Michigan League of Conservation Voters. For more than two years, he was on the forefront fighting to protect Michigan's land, air and water by educating legislators and communities on the need for environmentally conscious policy. Recently, Hammoud returned to the University of Michigan in pursuit of a master's in business administration at the Ross School of Business. Expanding his business acumen will help him craft economic policy to address the issue of income inequality, and to better support the hardworking middle class. In his spare time, he enjoys competing in obstacle courses, spending time with friends and family, and engaging in dialogue that fosters social benefit and growth.

Bun Out Of The Oven
Despite what you might think, I'm not a total flake. I had made the bread. Twice. I was ready to put up my post and talk about the recipe. I even had some ideas about how to incorporate that funky 70's hippie vibe that this bread put me in mind of. But then I got a phone call. At 4 am.
My pregnant daughter called to let me know that her water had broken. Four weeks early. Despite all her happy plans for a home birth attended by a wonderful midwife and doula, she and her husband had to go to the hospital. So her entourage went with her. We walked with them, sat with them, helped them make tough decisions.
And then came the labor. Intense labor. So, so hard, with not a moment to nap or recover. But my daughter was amazing. She went through the whole thing without medication and about 19 hours after her water broke, she gave birth to a beautiful little girl.
It was an intense day filled with heartbreak, disappointment, weariness, despair, pain, exhaustion, agony, much blood, and then the miracle of a new little life. So worth it.
So, really, which would you rather I talked about? This, a dense, gummy loaf made from sprouted wheat-
or this. Isn't she perfect?

The week draws to a close with news of cosplay and gaming coming out of the Penny Arcade Expo 2008. The show is quickly becoming one of the biggest draws in gaming, with attendance this year of over 58,500 people. Be sure to check out our featured look at the show, where we dig deep into the culture and celebrities of this year's event. If you haven't started making plans to go next year, now's a good time to start. Here are the rest of the big stories in gaming this week:
Showdown: is the Xbox 360 price cut desperation or boldness? Frank and I argue over Microsoft's motives for so aggressively going after the $200 price point with its console. Was this a cagey move that Microsoft has long been planning, or is Sony's new-found second wind shaking the company?
Conduit for Wii: 360 looks, (mostly) tight controls, '09 release. At PAX, Frank gets his hands on one of the most compelling upcoming games for the Wii. The graphics are amazing, the controls are good, but the title still falls into a few pitfalls. Still, we walked away impressed.
PAX: Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft booths square off. The big three each had an impressive presence at PAX08, but who had the best selection of games? We find out.
Why your gaming degree may be a waste of time. Think your school's program for becoming a game developer is your best shot at getting into the industry? Think again. A more general degree could be much more helpful, and experience never hurts.
Red Alert: get Red Alert free from EA. It's a classic, it's available, it's free. Go get it.
Some more interesting stories from the past week;
- Guess what? We still aren't impressed by Wii Music. Nintendo's musical... game? still doesn't keep our attention, and judging by the title's reception at PAX, we're not alone.
- PAX08: The cosplaying characters of day two. Cosplayers are great, especially when they move in packs. We look at the best groups of characters from PAX this year.
- PAX08: Epic lines for epic games. PAX was an amazing time, but the huge crowds and long lines meant that you needed to plan your afternoon around playing the best games. At least the gamers in the crowd were friendly, with DS multiplayer sessions taking the sting out of the wait.
- PAX08: the limited edition DeathAdder Mouse. Glowy! At the show you could buy one of 400 of these limited-edition mice. Our take? Stylish, but not quite as comfortable as we would have liked.
- Fallout 3 dev frustrated with rating system. Bethesda has a hit on its hands with Fallout 3, but dealing with the different ratings systems around the world, along with the different standards each one brings to the table, has proven to be a pain.
- Skate It for the Wii: Just give our controllers back. Just because you can get clever with the controls of a skateboarding game, doesn't mean you should. We find out that EA's new Wii title using the balance board is a little too complicated for its own good.
- Left 4 Dead 360 tries to heal console controls, kills them instead. Left 4 Dead remains one of the more anticipated PC games coming out this year, but much was lost in the control department when it was ported to the 360.

The might of the Early Imperial Army will be there, with contingents from all over the country, and indeed the wider Roman Empire. In lesser numbers (maybe reflecting the smaller army of the later Empire?) also appearing will be the Late Romans - no, just because they wear sensible trousers and long sleeved tunics they are NOT Vikings ;) There are some even later Romans too, all the way from Constantinople (it's a jolly long way to come from there just for the weekend, methinks.)
My partner and I will be with the Late Romans (aka Britannia), but since we're aged and close to being pensioned off (some hope!), we're confined to camp and work on crafts such as antler working and maybe mosaic making. Oh, and there will be cavalry, courtesy of Romanorum. There'll be plenty of action in the nearby amphitheatre, including Roman drill, gladiators and even a bear!
More up-to-date, but writing stories about Romans, are a bevy historical novelists, who will be haunting the Roman Camp. Those attending are: the delightful Ruth Downie, Robert Fabbri , Ben Kane, Anthony Riches (who once did me the honour of pronouncing my specialised archaeology reports 'abstruse'), and Russ Whitfield. They will be happy to talk about their books, and will no doubt sell them to you and sign them for you.

It was supposed to be a doctor's visit like any other. My wife would come home and say, as she had done many times before, that everything was okay, and that she should get lots of exercise and eat fruits and vegetables—what doctors always say. We would breathe a sigh of relief, hug each other, and promptly forget that the moment had ever taken place.
But the news that winter afternoon was very different:
Peter, it's cancer. It's cancer.
Carol had been diagnosed with breast cancer, which had already spread to her lymph nodes. A biopsy revealed that her cancer was a particularly aggressive kind called triple negative, and it would resist the best available treatments. In the grim words of a doctor we consulted, this type of cancer was a potent "killer of young women," young women like my wife of eight years, the mother of my two daughters.
Still reeling, we were soon dealt another crushing blow: Our health insurance company had determined that my wife's cancer was a preexisting condition and terminated her coverage. We would be forced to pay for treatments on our own. The shock of her diagnosis had been difficult enough, but this enormous legal complication devastated our already fragile spirits.
I remember feeling a multitude of things during that time: shock, intense fear, confusion. But the emotion I remember most clearly was that of betrayal. I felt betrayed by God.
A Subconscious Theology
You see, I was a good person, or at least had tried my hardest to be one. I had devoted my entire life to following and serving God, giving up a promising career in medicine to become a pastor. I wanted to do great things for his sake, and so planted a church in Washington, D.C. My family ...1

Project PAVE honors three "champions" and presents six scholarships
Three of Project PAVE's biggest supporters — Elaine Gampel, Steve Siegel and CoBiz Financial — were given the 2014 Champion Awards at Transformations, a luncheon that also included the presentation of scholarships to six students whose lives have been changed for the better, thanks to Project PAVE.
Gampel, a senior vice president at UBS Financial, joined the Project PAVE board some 10 years ago and has held several leadership positions within the organization, including serving as a chairwoman for Project PAVE's signature fundraiser, Secret Chefs.
She has mentored scores of young people and enthusiastically recommends Project PAVE to prospective donors or volunteers. Her award was presented by 2013 scholarship recipient Susan Waruinge, who happily pointed out that Gampel had been "The first Project PAVE board member I met."
Siegel, director of the Denver District Attorney's Office Special Programs Unit, also is a longtime supporter of Project PAVE. So much so that he has encouraged his family to become involved, too; his son-in-law, Scott Peikin, is a member of the agency's board of directors.
Siegel accepted his award from Michael Crawford, one of those receiving a 2014 Project PAVE scholarship.
CoBiz Financial has had employees serve on the Project PAVE board (executive vice president/chief information officer David Pass is the current representative) and has supported the organization financially by sponsoring its major events.
Eva Roybal, the 2014 Nathan Yip Foundation scholar, presented the award to CoBiz.
In addition to Crawford and Roybal, scholarships went to Connie Appiah, Summer Jordan Skrzypek, Jessica Chavez and Julian Rodriguez-Vera.
In a departure from tradition, the luncheon did not have a media personality or athlete serving as master of ceremonies. Rather, East High School student Kiana Pasillas had the honor of extending a welcome to the guests, introducing speakers and thanking sponsors.
Former Gov. Bill Ritter was among those attending the event where board member Patricia Crown's family foundation was the presenting sponsor.
Jimmy and Linda Yip, who started the Nathan Yip Foundation in memory of their son, were at the luncheon, too, and introduced Kate Sneed, who they had just been hired to be the foundation's associate director.
Project PAVE board member Cori Streetman and her husband, Tyler, were hosts to a group that included Sarah Hogan, Cori's partner at Barefoot Public Relations; Megan Stribling, events and community engagement manager at the Alliance for Sustainable Colorado; attorney Mike Davis and PCL Construction's Brett Dolan.
Also there: Libby Anschutz; Maggie Morrissey; Dr. Dean Prina; Molly Broeren; Darlene Silver; Carrie Nolan; Sheryl Goodman; Karmen Carter; Marti Awad; John and Gina Dyer; Bob and Mary Serotta; Michael Hammell; board chair Michelle Kales and executive director Mike Johnson.

Strategies for Overcoming Public Opposition to Development
Change represents uncertainty. No matter how bad the current land use condition is, the cruel reality is more comforting than the doomsday scenario that fearful opponents can conjure up.
In the public sector, opposition usually comes with the fear of making a bad decision. Bad decisions become a constant reminder of the lack of proper diligence that accompanied the review of the original request. It could end with dismissal.
In the private sector, opposition is generally rooted in worst-case visions that paint a troubling, if not a cataclysmic picture. Images of declining values, destroyed quality of life, hazardous fallout, environmental collapse, and visual pollution often accompany their stance. In some instances these propositions could be valid. But in most cases, the fear is largely ungrounded. The emphasis of overcoming opposition is in effect an exercise in anxiety mitigation, using factual, visual, and third party assurances to minimize or dispel the fear.
The process to deal with this threat must be customized for every challenge. No set approach guarantees results. The deliberation, the representation, and the methods will always vary, as the nature of the objective itself is always changing. Using a thoughtful, patient, and methodical approach should, however, improve the probability of success.The following outline suggests a checklist of considerations that could aid the applicant in the pursuit of approval, particularly in those forums filled with emotional as well as analytical arguments, which lie in waiting for the chance to object.
Consider the following checklist as a point of beginning when valuing the request and the process that will follow.
Know the opposition.

Life's a beach, (or should that be beech?), for the laid-back residents in this quaint country village which sits smugly between the Lamington Plateau and Tamborine Mountain.
First settlers flocked to the area in the 1800s and used the white beech trees, once prolific here, for timber. These days, this pretty village is a popular destination for bushwalkers who travel through the town enroute to the Binna Burra section of Lamington National Park.
It's also a popular place for hangliders and paragliders who are enamoured with the popular launch pad at Rosin's Lookout. Because of its small population, Beechmont exudes the kind of country charm that should be bottled with its old-style community hall and country markets. Stay overnight in an old church or at an educational farm stay.
Enjoy local wildlife, Graceleigh Park and most of all, the views and walking options of the nearby mountains and rainforest. The local Yugambeh people loved this area, 45 minutes and a world away from the Gold Coast beaches, and you will too.
