Disorders of Sex Development (DSD) and Gender Management Service (GeMS) | Research and Innovation
Norman Spack, MD, co-director of the Gender Management Service (GeMS) Clinic at Boston Children's Hospital is part of the team that wrote groundbreaking new guidelines about how to treat children with Gender Identity Disorder. They suggest that at the first signs of puberty, physicians delay the onset of puberty and wait until the child is approximately 16 years old to begin any sort of hormone therapy involved in a gender transition.
More research about the long-term follow up of these children is also underway. We're looking to see if their bone strength is normal and if that, along with pre-pubertal treatment, can help female-to-male achieve a taller height.

Update on 'cat attack'
This guy wrote back and said that he wasn't sure if it was the same cat or not. He said that all the cats in the area look the same to him. He said though that since the cat has been removed, he thinks the problem will stop.
He also wanted to know if the store holder whom he fingered as the possible owner was mad with him as he is a bit scared to walk by. I told him as far as I knew, quite a few residents were quite annoyed and that the volunteer faced resistance removing the cat.

Snake, by Ian Mudie
Suddenly the grass before my feet
shakes and becomes alive.
The Snake
twists, almost leaps
graceful even in terror,
smoothness looping back over smoothness,
slithers away, disapears.
And the grass is again still.
And surely, by whatever means of communication
is available to Snakes,
the word is passed:
Hey, I just met a man, a monster too;
must have been oh seven feet tall
So keep away from the long grass,
it's dangerous there.
I have 'done' that poem so often with a number of the primary classes that I've taught but have come across snakes only recently twice.
A few months ago, at River Islands where it reared up and then fled from me across the Wollondilly River and this one, on the path down to Smoky North Beach.
I waited politely for a minute or two, until, after I stepped forward, my 'friend' slithered away. (Even though I'm only 5'8" and shrinking.)

Titel: Rich Media, Poor Democracy: Communication Politics in Dubious Times
Autor/en: Robert Waterman McChesney
Autor/en: Robert Waterman McChesney
Sprache: Englisch.
August 1999 - gebunden - 427 Seiten
Robert McChesney argues that the media, far from providing a bedrock for freedom and democracy, have become a significant antidemocratic force in the United States and, to varying degrees, worldwide.Rich Media, Poor Democracy addresses the corporate media explosion and the corresponding implosion of public life that characterizes our times. Challenging the assumption that a society drenched in commercial information "choices" is ipso facto a democratic one, McChesney argues that the major beneficiaries of the so-called Information Age are wealthy investors, advertisers, and a handful of enormous media, computer, and telecommunications corporations. This concentrated corporate control, McChesney maintains, is disastrous for any notion of participatory democracy.Combining unprecedented detail on current events with historical sweep, McChesney chronicles the waves of media mergers and acquisitions in the late 1990s. He reviews the corrupt and secretive enactment of public policies surrounding the Internet, digital television, and public broadcasting. He also addresses the gradual and ominous adaptation of the First Amendment ("freedom of the press") as a means of shielding corporate media power and the wealthy.Rich Media, Poor Democracy exposes several myths about the media -- in particular, that the market compels media firms to "give the people what they want" -- that limit the ability of citizens to grasp the real nature and logic of the media system. If we value our democracy, McChesney warns, we must organize politically to restructure the media in order to affirm their connection to democracy.
"McChesney explores what is unquestionably an ongoing assault on the reliability and independence of the media we count on to explain the world to us... He sees journalism as but an inseparable strand in an ever-more-tightly woven cloth of commerce. As such, he says, it is run according to the market-driven imperative of a capitalism: more profit with less risk... McChesney argues persuasively that whatever journalists' personal politics, the media's dominant ideology is pro-market and business class-biased and rests on the assumption that the news business works just fine... It takes a nonjournalist like McChesney to get the big picture." - Russ Baker, Los Angeles Times "[McChesney] takes the beast directly by the throat... [He] has gone to the heart of the matter... The best stuff in McChesney's book is not just how it happened but what the results are in terms of quality." - Molly Ivins, Star Telegram "A meticulously researched, relentlessly argued, wonderfully populist rallying cry for media reform - a welcome departure from the media criticism we have come to know." - Dustin Beilke, Salon Magazine "Tightly researched and extremely readable... An extraordinary resource for those who wish to begin the arduous journey toward remembering what it means to be a citizen in a functioning democracy." - Derrick Jensen, San Francisco Examiner and Chronicle "This is an important book that merited the overwhelming rush of orders received by its publisher upon the mere announcement of its impending appearance. Its central thesis - the incompatibility of boundless capitalism with the diversity of voices required to sustain a democratic society - is a bold challenge to the conventional wisdom that capitalism and democracy are mutually supportive... McChesney's arguments are persuasive and his evidence impressive." - Critical Studies in Media Communication "McChesney ... should be the first winner of the Dionne Warwick Prescience Award for the new millennium as the person best able to telepathically foretell the future on an important topic... He raise the ... dramatic specter of media capture by a few able to control the information upon which our democracy depends. And he wrote all this before AT&T moved in to foreclose Internet access on its lines, before the cable firms took over much of satellite, before Internet AOL and Time Warner combined." - The San Diego Union-Tribune "I highly recommend this book to anyone who is concerned with issues that define our society. It is not a light read, but a thought-provoking book that will stir one to look at issues like election reform, environmental protection, and health care in a new light." - Julie Johnson, Chicago Life "Essential reading for both concerned citizens and activists who want to understand the political economy of the media in the context of global capitalism." - Sheila Nopper, Illinois Times "McChesney joins Upton Sinclair, George Seldes, A.J. Liebling, Ben Bagdikian, and Herb Schiller as an astute critic of the sellout of mass media - and democratic society - to corporate America... Contending that the power and money behind the conglomerate means that everything and everyone has a price, McChesney packs his book with historical and contemporary facts and examples. And (unlike most critics) he offers a solution: four proposals for media reform... All who cherish democratic principles should read this book." - Choice "This refreshingly readable book belongs on supplemental reading lists of courses in media studies, media management and economics, media history, mass communication and society, and political communication." -- Joseph P. Bernt, Journalism and Mass Communication Quarterly

Some of you may be interested in the latest issue of Ariadne's Thread (Issue 11, Spring 2014) which has a short story in from yours truly. It also has plenty of other stuff in there too, including some great poetry. I'd recommend buying it for the two poems by Armando Halpern alone. 'Carlo Crivelli, Virgin and Child' and 'Back From the Labyrinth' are engrossing, evocative pieces and I've reread them several times already.
My own story, 'To Catch a Fly', is one that I wrote years ago following an experience with my late maternal grandmother. I rewrote it with a burst of inspiration last year, changing the tense and the overall situation without diminishing the truth at the heart of it. In some ways, it's a very personal story and, in that sense, it's wonderful that it's my first writing success in years.
If you want to buy a copy of this issue, it's available directly from their website and you can purchase via PayPal. I should go into a spiel here about supporting small literary magazines but I'm sure we all know the challenges they face and support where we can so I'll leave it at that.

It might be hard to tell in these pictures, but I gave my scrap room a face lift recently. A fresh coat of paint in a beautiful shade of yellow could brighten even the darkest spaces.
Originally, the room was painted in a desert shade of sandstone. more brown than yellow, it made the room a bit dark.
This first photo is of the room before the fresh paint.
This is my freshly painted room. Bright and cheery and full of inspiration. I'm not quite finished with it yet though. Though it's a small area, I was only able to paint about half. I figure some where between laundry, kids and of course scrapping, I might finish it one of these days!
Thanks for checking in and think about a fresh coat of paint for your work area. It's amazing how such a simple improvement can spark your creativity!

Coney Island
This weekends exploration took place at the glorious Coney Island. There is something quite wonderful about being able to hop on the subway in the city and end up with your toes in the sand. Coney Island is known for it's boardwalk, beach and amazing amusement park – the Wonder Wheel Ferris Wheel being it's main fixture.
We didn't go on any of the rides as they were a little outside our budget. Especially because when Summer ends it gets extra cheap – so we'll go back then. But it was still amazing just walking around and taking it all in. Coney Island tends to be open from April to October each year but the boardwalk and beach are open year round. There is such a diverse culture out there. Spanish, Jersey Shore alums and New Yorkers wanting to escape the crowds that just end up with a different much bigger crowd.
An event Coney Island is famous for which I know made the news back in New Zealand is the Annual July 4th Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Competition. This years winner finished off a whopping 61 hotdogs including the buns! 'Murica – you disgusting but impressive son ova bitch. Of course that meant for lunch we had to try Nathan's hot dogs – they did not disappoint. While we were eating we met a little kid called Jacob who told us he thought hot dogs were disgusting. He also wasn't very fond of soup. So there ya go!

[Developers] Possibly The Best SEO Market Research Tool For App Optimization
Possibly The Best SEO Tool For App Optimzation
So as we all know, those of us who develop apps, the competition is heating up.
That's a good thing as it gives fresh apps to our markets and many new and innovative ideas that can help us with our own creativity and new app plans.
What we all find however is the need to understand and be able to 'work out' what other app do that make them successful and visible in The App Stores.
The Competition Is Hotting Up…
Of course a unique idea, really well implemented and taken up by apple during review as a 'new and noteworthy app' etc or an app that explodes viral will obviously benefit from hitting the top of a very big wave very quickly, the push these apps get creates new trends and allows developers of other apps to watch, learn and almost piggy back off of these breakout (maybe 'lucky') apps.
But as most developers study the charts, review and critique hit apps and new apps for ideas and any tips on a new approach to App Store success, it becomes obvious that just watching app movement in the charts or admiring keyword rich App names is not going to really be enough in the long run to implement a full, App marketing and SEO plan that will yield long term results.
This is where the right 'tools' come in.
As with anything in a successful business, a system needs to be put in place to track, monitor and study the app store and our competing apps so we can benefit most effectively from the ever changing App landscape.
Trying to do everything either yourself or with a variety of seperate online tools or other tricks or methods does get time consuming and as all developers know, time in the day developing apps can go very fast. before you know it its the end of your work day and many times if you don't have systems in place to you find yourself overwhelmed and possibly behind on your large list of 'to do's'…
Systems can be set up in may areas from app project control with Project leaders, to having different app companies and programming teams working on your projects as you do other things for your business.
Possibly the biggest area that requires focus by both single, one man app developers to big app development companies is the marketing/market research/SEO side of things.
I have used a series of tools during the last 2 years that have all had their pluses and minuses in terms of allowing me a clear and full understanding of the App market and what I need to know to make my apps competitive.
Recently I have found a new service that I will discuss in the next section, that for me and many developers I know is probably the best tool for app developers currently available.
When it comes to market research and beginning to obtain a full understanding of the things you need to know and track to stay ahead of the curve in the app development field I have found the new Sensor Tower to be a quite remarkable tool (or set of very remarkable tools) all under one roof.
Think of Sensor Tower as a one stop location where you can track not just your apps performance but importantly your competitors.
This gives you massive advantage because the days of throwing an app out there, hoping it sticks and hits the top charts and makes millions are basically over. Sure there will always be the exceptions, but now they really are the exceptions, not so much the rule. This is not 2009 anymore.
In a market where so many of the big companies have million (possibly billion) dollar budgets, how can a smaller independent developer compete?
Well the answer is with great knowledge and insight and a series of tools to give a full understanding of the playing filed your in.
Sensor Tower provides that.
here is the link to their site where you can learn even more. But let me briefly discuss some of the benefits and tools I am using to allow me to gain more and more understanding of the app marketplace each day.
All In One Success Tool.
Essentially this is your market research / app optimization / money making / app success dashboard!
Here you will have a series of tools that if used and understood will allow you a level of understanding that will put you into the category of serious app developer who is preparing for success, as opposed to someone who simply thinks apps are a way to easy money.
I will show brief descriptions of what each of these tools does, as well as my personal CURRENT favourites. I am still learning but so far have found great success with what could be considered relatively limited knowledge of the full power of Sensor Tower. (That must be a good sign, for all other developers who want to get quick results from these awesome tools)
Click on the Add New Keyword button below to add search terms you want to track. Add relevant keywords, including multiple word phrases that you want to track for your app in search results. Add each different search term separately and we will collect data for you.
This I found to be one of the most accurate and thorough tools I have seen to keep you up to date on your apps performance: (I have tried a few)
OPTIMIZE KEYWORDS: (Awesome!)
I really like this. We all know the importance of keywords. Those 100 little spaces where we can make or break our apps success. Well this tool allows you to drop in YOUR keywords, or ones you are testing and get feedback of changes to make, things you are doing well with etc. I love this tool.
you are going to have competitors. no matter what app you make. Unless you come up with an app that is in a category of one, in which case you'll possibly have a customer count of the same number. The nature of the app store is competing apps. And you are going up against them trying to gain more reviews, downloads etc than them. What better way to plan your strategy than to find out what competitors are doing! This type of tool used to be a mere dream for developers.
KEYWORD RESEARCH: (The biggy!)
This one was what first turned me on to Sensor Tower. It was the first one I used. We have touched on the high importance of keywords. This incredible tool allows you to delve deep into keyword research, first by choosing keywords to view current traffic and difficulty ranking for a particular keyword. You will also see how much reach a word has IF you can rank high for it. It then allows you to dive deeper into all the apps that use that particular keyword you want to look at and compare to YOUR APP! Awesome! – that takes us to…
Here you see my Ultimate Fitness App (or one of them) and a test comparison of angry birds. Of course you would choose a competitor in the same category as you, but for an example this show perfectly how Sensor Tower creates a simple side by side comparison. Below (you cant see here) the keywords of both apps are listed! Seriously. You can compare your app to a competitor!
This is truly awesome…based on your keywords you currently have or are planning on using, Sensor tower will generate suggestions and give full details of each one. This is huge!
*Imagine you've sat down all night, coming up with keywords, you then get Sensor Tower, drop them in and find a whole load of better ones you could and should be using. Right here you are making game changing switches to your app. All based on current stats.
And after all of the above you can connect your iTunes account to track in full detail all your daily downloads. All your hard work is tracked up to the minute in this easy to understand section.
When all is said and done, its my assumption that if your reading this then you are likely a serious app developer. And in the App Market today its pretty much impossible to guess your way to success.
What I have found with Sensor tower is a tool, or a suite of tools all in one dashboard that is the engine under the hood of my Developer Account. Everything here is designed to assist you to make the right decisions, use the best keywords, and make the correct changes in updates as you begin on a journey to full app optimization and a charge up to the top of your particular category.
Today, in the highly competitive field of app development, where most of us are not going to be spending millions on market research teams or big SEO companies to rank us up in a battle with Rovio or Halfbrick, we need a set of tools that will even the playing field and allow those serious about app development to gain an advantage in this competitive battle for eyeballs and downloads.
Check out Sensor Tower here and I wish you all the best in your Development of awesome apps.
Feel free to contact me with any questions.
😉 Cheers

(Achillea millefolium)
Yarrow is often used internally to treat excessive bleeding, indigestion, and diarrhoea amongst other ailments, and externally to help heal minor cuts and scrapes. Yarrow is also used in cosmetics to treat oily skin and as a cleanser. It is a flowering plant in the Asteraceae (aster, daisy, or sunflower) family and is native to temperate regions of Asia, Europe, and North America. Its name is derived from the Greek hero Achilles as he supposedly used it to heal soldier's wounds during the Trojan War. It is also known as: blood wort, carpenter's weed, knight's milfoil, old man's pepper, nosebleed, and staunch grass.

LAVENDER Scientifically known as Lavandula, the name comes from the Latin root name lavare which means 'to wash'. Lavender is native to the Old World (Africa, Europe, and Asia). Due to its Mediterranean origins, lavender plants prefer hot summers and dry winters. These plants do not do well with humidity. There are four main types of lavender. These are:
- English lavender (Lavandula angustifolia): Known as true lavender, this is usually the variety used in making potpourri and oils
- Italian lavender (Lavandula stoechas): Identified by two brightly coloured 'wings' at the top of each flower
- French lavender (Lavandula dentata): Identified by grey green serrated leaves and a flat, furry, spiked purple flower
- Winged lavender (Lavandula Sidonie): Identified by ferny foliage and forked flowers
Lavender has long been used for its aromatic and healing properties. In the medieval times it was thought to ward off evil spirits. Medicinally, lavender is used as a relaxant, an antibacterial agent, and as a sensory stimulant. It is also used to treat a range of ailments including: insomnia, anxiety, stress, indigestion, alopecia (hair loss), headaches, nervous disorders, exhaustion, infections, acne and eczema, and joint and muscle pain.

She also sang songs that you can dance to. Additionally, her band was just as fantastic. They were all so in tuned with each other like a family. My guests also complimented Eugenie directly and her band on how much they enjoyed the entertainment, especially listening to Eugenie sing. We are very fortunate and proud to have a local talent like Eugenie Jones! I highly recommend hiring Eugenie Jones Jazz Trio for any occasion!

The Spanish financial group, Banco Santander S.A. has released a report created by two of their researchers, concerning the benefits of Bitcoin over credit cards and regular, traditional services offered by banks. The paper, in detail, explains the increasing risk of cryptocurrencies, which are becoming more popular, to become a more suitable option for people than traditional financial management.
A special meeting took place on August 23rd, where affiliates from Banco Santander, as well as Santander R&D officials from Latin America, met with the Mercado Bitcoin Brokerage to talk about the future of technology and finance. Bruno Mendonca and Henrique Navarro, the researchers, came to the conclusion that banks in Brazil could benefit from distributed ledger technology, even though it's still in early stages. The researchers noted that banks all around the globe are actually investing their resources to research the distributed ledger protocols. The affiliates of Banco Santander agreed that the concept of blockchain and cryptocurrencies, like Bitcoin, will change the definition of money transactions in the world of banking.

According to the report, traditional financiers and credit card services will be at disadvantage to suppliers and retailers who accept digital currencies. It offers explanation as to why Bitcoin has the possibility to outperform legacy services, stating:
Some advantages are the low (near zero) costs in a bitcoin transaction; both parties to the transaction do not need to know each other; payment is fast (on average it takes 10 minutes to process a transaction, as set by the Bitcoin algorithm currently in place); there is no need to provide personal data. The Bitcoin concept means a virtual cash transaction with anyone, anywhere, in any amount.
Santander has been interested in cryptocurrencies for a while and believes that banks should build their own blockchains. In June, Santander U.K. admitted that they have been testing their own distributed ledger application with their employees. The app was the first one created by a well-known legacy bank that used blockchain-based protocols for international payments.
The report has also shown that Bitcoin is changing finances for the better. The only concern that the bank has towards creating their own blockchain, as well as advising other legacy banks to do the same, is that it might be a bit too late now, with Bitcoin being seven years old and well-trusted by many users around the globe.

capitalizing on kempa skills
Change, though inevitable, can be hard to willingly plunge headfirst into.
However, that was exactly what Sarah Beckman decided to do in her sophomore year at
Lakes Community High School in Lake Villa, Ill.
"My ultimate decision to completely throw out my former career goals and jump into journalism was [in the] Intro to Journalism class I took," Beckman said. "The freedom of speech, the element of curiosity, the digging up of a story...all drew me in instantly."
Beckman, a recent graduate of Illinois State University, worked as an intern in 2011 and 2012 for KEMPA Summer Journalism Workshop (SJW). Beckman also attended the fall KEMPA conferences in 2008 and 2009 as a high school student.
"As a student, I really sharpened my design skills thanks to numerous KEMPA conferences," Beckman said. "I remember being enthralled with Bryce Ulmer's design capabilities and tricks as a junior in high school. I was so eager to go back to my school paper and try them out."
During her time as an intern for KEMPA SJW, Beckman worked as a camp counselor, personal assistant and teacher for the workshop.
In addition to improving her organizational and social skills, Beckman "enjoyed getting to know the teachers and students, and learning from their creativity and passion for journalism."
KEMPA was one of the very first steps in Beckman's impressive journalistic career thus far. To date, Beckman has worked with seven different media outlets.
After graduating high school as editor-in-chief of the Talon Times, Beckman eventually became a news and sports reporter, promotions director, news and sports operations director, and General Manager of Illinois State University's radio station, 103.3 WZND.
Beckman also interned at WJBC-AM in Bloomington, Ill., worked as a morning show producer at FOX-affiliate Cities 92.9 in Bloomington, interned at the NPR-affiliate KJZZ in Phoenix, Ariz., and worked part-time as a reporter at the NPR-affiliate WGLT in Bloomington.
Recently, Beckman began her first full-time job as a reporter and anchor at an ABC-
affiliate in Little Rock, Ark. Beckman majored in Broadcast Journalism at Illinois State University, but says many of her journalistic skills found their beginning in her time at KEMPA.
"In college, I led my university's radio station and relied on the people skills I learned from KEMPA as an intern," Beckman said. "I was a patient and thorough leader in college, and I attribute that to KEMPA."
Beckman says many moments in her journalism career have stuck with her, but cites her "most inspiring and rewarding experience" so far as the 2012 Presidential Election coverage that she coordinated at her campus radio station.
"The one memory that will never fade is when President Obama was declared the victor, my fellow news directors and I took off our headphones, switched off the mics, shut the station down, and walked out to our cars at midnight in silence," Beckman said.
"When we reached our vehicles, we all said, 'I can't believe that just happened,'" Beckman said.
One of the things Beckman enjoys most about radio journalism is the journalist's ability to be 'in the moment,' and report events as they happen. Although sometimes those events are tragic and difficult to approach, Beckman believes they are a learning experience and have made her the journalist she is today.
In the future, Beckman would like to report in Washington, D.C. on politics.

our team
At Table 301, It's a Team Effort
We support a company culture that is energetic, caring, positive and fun. Our shared goals help us deliver exceptional hospitality and unforgettable experiences "The Soby's Way" — each and every day. Here are a few people that help make Soby's a great place to work.
Carl Sobocinski
Founder & Owner
Carl Sobocinski is founder and owner of Greenville's Table 301 Restaurant Group. Carl has spearheaded the company's growth and development over the past 20 years which now includes 10 individual restaurants in its portfolio: Soby's New South Cuisine, Soby's on the Side, The Lazy Goat, NOSE DIVE Gastropub, Passerelle Bistro, Papi's Tacos, Highway 301 Food Truck, Southern Pressed Juicery, Table 301 Catering, and Jianna.
A native of Durham, New Hampshire, Carl made his way to South Carolina and Clemson University where he pursued an architectural degree. After graduation, Carl quickly realized that his true passion was not for architecture and design but aligned more with the restaurant & hospitality industry and community service. In the mid-1900s, he took a leap of faith and opened his first restaurant called The 858 in Greenville. Soby's followed in 1997 and the rest is history.
Today, Carl is an active contributor to Greenville's and the state of South Carolina's business and charitable communities. He has served three terms as a board member on the National Restaurant Association where he held the position of Chairman of the Jobs and Careers Committee. He also was a member of the Executive Committee of the Greenville Convention and Visitor's Bureau where he was instrumental in the city's "Branding Initiative," a successful effort to use a portion of hospitality tax revenues to create a plan for marketing and promoting Greenville as a tourist destination. Carl's leadership continues on the Executive Committee for the South Carolina Restaurant and Lodging Association, as a member of the Furman University President's Advisory Council and as a Greenville mentor volunteer through the Frazee Dream Center.
A long-time supporter and enthusiast of the community, Carl and platinum-selling singer-songwriter Edwin McCain spearheaded the creation of Greenville's nationally-acclaimed, four-day food, wine and music festival called Euphoria in 2006. The event has evolved into a premier culinary and musical arts destination for thousands each September and has helped to raise important funds for Local Boys Do Good, a foundation that distributes funds to local non-profits in the community. Today, Carl holds emeritus status with the board of Euphoria.
Over the past two decades, Carl has been honored for many of his contributions including: South Carolina Restaurant Association's Restaurateur of the Year, recipient of the Distinguished Service Award from the Greenville Jaycees, finalist for Greenville Magazine's Nelson Mullins Business Person of the Year, Leadership Greenville's Distinguished Alumni from the Greenville Chamber of Commerce, and a member of the Chamber's Leadership Greenville Class 26.
Shaun Garcia
Executive Chef
Born and raised in a mill town in Spartanburg County, South Carolina, Shaun's interest in food began early; he practically grew up in the kitchen of his grandmother's restaurant. The family-owned establishment was a true southern restaurant and taught Shaun the most important thing in the restaurant industry is hospitality. Shaun spent his early years learning about the importance of southern food and culture. When he was Executive Chef at Soby's, Shaun took that heartfelt flavor of authentic Southern cooking and adds fresh style for an unexpected dining experience.
In 2010, he took his commitment to heirloom ingredients to the next level by establishing the Soby's Field at Dark Corner, an ambitious project that raises produce from the Slow Foods Ark of Taste list for use in the restaurant. The Ark of Taste, a collection of food items in danger of extinction, promotes and protects the vibrant flavors of American ingredients, and by growing these items for Soby's, Shaun is assuring that the restaurant will be able to offer dishes that honor culinary history.
He joined Table 301 Restaurant Group in August of 2003 as a line cook, and his innate talent for Southern cooking led him to take the helm of the Soby's kitchen in January of 2007. He is a participant in the annual Euphoria festival, a first-class culinary celebration that raises funds for charities while promoting tourism and enhancing the reputation of Greenville, S.C. as a premiere culinary and performing arts destination. Shaun enjoys being a part of local non-profit events each year, such as the March of Dimes Signature Chef's Auction, Fall for Greenville and Hospitality Day at the State House.
One of Shaun's primary goals in dish development is to use seasonal ingredients and local products whenever possible in order to support local food producers and provide the best flavor for his guests. He draws on his profound experience with Southern food traditions to bring time-honored recipes with modern flair to the table. In addition to taking inspiration from his family heritage of Southern cuisine, he uses techniques like a French slow braise to bring out the potential in lesser-used cuts of meat and uses traditionally African ingredients like okra and yams that have historically brought wonderful flavor to Southern food.
Shaun left Soby's in the summer of 2015 to pursue career opportunities in the Northwest, but realized quickly that Upstate South Carolina was home. He rejoined Table 301 in February 2016, joining the NOSE DIVE team as Executive Chef. After a short stint back in the Northwest, Shaun returned to the kitchen he called home for so long, Soby's, and oversees culinary operations there as Executive Chef.
He also enjoys working with bourbon, a spirit that he says lends itself well to the hearty, earthy flavors of Southern cuisine and matches his recipes in heritage and history. Shaun's cuisine is a study in culinary history, updated for the modern palate. He is a member of the Southern Foodways Alliance, Seed Savers and Slow Foods. He has been featured several national publications, including Cooking Light, Garden & Gun, and Taste of the South.
Andrea Ciavardini
General Manager
A native of Boston, MA, Andrea Ciavardini developed an early passion for the restaurant industry by bussing tables as a teenager. She furthered her interest in the hospitality field by attending Georgia State University, where she developed a passion for wine and was nominated for the Alexander Valley Cabernet Academy. She later became a Certified Level Two Sommelier and Certified CSW (Certified Specialist of Wine). She used this experience to continue her advancement in the industry and commitment to building her career.
Before arriving in Greenville, SC, Andrea Ciavardini spent most of her professional life in Atlanta, GA, working for more than 15 years at notable restaurant groups such as Fifth Group Restaurants, Dantanna's and Here to Serve Restaurant Group. She worked in both front and back of house positions, from line cook, bartender and upward through various management positions, giving her a comprehensive understanding of all restaurant operations.
Her first management role out of college was with Dantanna's Surf & Turf, followed by positions at Prime, Aja, Goldfish Restaurant and 4th & Swift Restaurant, all in the Atlanta area. In one of her most influential positions, Ciavardini served as Assistant General Manager and Beverage Director for Ecco Restaurant, where she fine-tuned her management skills, as well as her passion for hospitality, influencing the guest experience at every turn and sharing her knowledge of wine and beverage. In 2017, Ciavardini made the move to Greenville, SC, and joined The Neighborhood Dining Group as General Manager of Husk. She joined Table 301 Restaurant Group in January, 2018, and was named General Manager of Soby's New South Cuisine.
As General Manager of Soby's, Ciavardini is responsible for daily operations, staff training and ensuring that Soby's is a leading influencer in the local, regional and national culinary scenes. She resides with her significant other, Stephen, and their dog Brady, aptly named in homage to Ciavardini's beloved New England Patriots and her sports hero, Tom Brady. Highly energetic, Ciavardini danced competitively for 15 years, which helped prepare her to gracefully navigate the floor of a busy restaurant. When not at Soby's, she enjoys dining out, traveling, attending wine tastings and entertaining friends and family.
Chef Chris Arnold
Chef de Cuisine
Born into a Southern Italian family of chefs, Chef Chris Arnold's passion for all things culinary-related was inevitable. He began his journey at the young age of 16, working as a food runner for Maggiano's Little Italy in Nashville, TN.
He quickly advanced into the kitchen where he was eager to learn more about different culinary styles. He further developed his skills at some of Nashville's original restaurants including The Trace Restaurants and Firefly Grill.
Chris' hard work paid off and he was asked to join Nashville's F. Scott's Restaurant and Jazz Bar as a Sous Chef under Chef Kevin Ramquist. There he was able to hone his craft and found a deep appreciation for sourcing locally grown products for his dishes.
With a Nashville/southern-inspired culinary style in hand, Chris landed a position as Executive Chef at Lakeside Restaurant in Highlands, NC. In early 2017, he and his wife, Shelley — who is a Level 3 sommelier — decided they wanted to make a move to Greenville, SC. He joined Soby's New South Cuisine as Chef de Cuisine and has been putting his personal stamp on the menu ever since. Chris continues to draw his inspiration from regionally sourced ingredients for Soby's dishes, working to strengthen relationships with local farmers and purveyors in order to create flavors people love.
When Chris is not in the Soby's kitchen, he enjoys spending time with his wife and mastering new techniques such as meat curing and woodworking.
Jordan Wolfe
Restaurant Manager
Jordan Wolfe began her career in the hospitality industry with Table301 after graduating from Furman University in 2016. Although fairly new to the business, she has a great admiration for the industry, especially Soby's and its staff's unwavering dedication to creating a fantastic dining experience for their guests.
Having graduated with a BS in Sustainability Science and a BA in Art History, she has introduced a more environmentally friendly approach to Soby's. This idea originated from a sustainable food tour she did as a student with some of Table 301 restaurants, which sparked her interest to work for the company and learn more about the restaurant industry. Soon after, she was approached about a management position at The Nose Dive and, recently, has assumed the same role at Soby's. She has a love for food and good wine (she's a level one Master Sommelier), but she also deeply cares about where and how the products are sourced and where they end up once they've left the table. And that's how programs, such as composting, are now the norm in Table 301 restaurants! Jordan's 2018 goals for Table 301 include glass recycling and becoming zero waste.
Outside of work, Jordan loves to hang out with her friends, her family, and her rescue dog, Sierra. She looks forward to spending time outside, whether hiking or sitting on the patio with a delicious glass of rosé. Whenever she can, Jordan also likes to travel. She is always looking forward to her next adventure. Being born in the UK, and having studied in Copenhagen, Tanzania, and Switzerland, she's had the opportunity to visit many places, which has given her a different perspective on people and how they enjoy their dining experience. Having already climbed Mount Kilimanjaro and Machu Pichu, one of her life goals is to hike all of the tallest mountains on each continent!
Table 301 has been a great introduction into the hospitality industry for Jordan. And she's excited to see where this career takes her.
John Conti
Pastry Chef
John Conti was born and raised in Charleston, SC and is the oldest of three children. He attended Francis Marion University and received his Bachelors of Science Degree in Business Administration.
After graduating, he got a job at Enterprise Rent-A-Car, where he traveled a lot and eventually got transferred to Greenville, SC. He later enrolled in the United States Coast Guard Reserve. This is where his passion for food was ignited, and he realized he wanted to cook full-time.
John went back to school at Greenville Technical College and double majored in Culinary Arts Technology and Baking & Pastry Arts. While in school, he interned with Soby's on the Side for 10 months. He met all of the Table 301 chefs during Fall For Greenville and was hired to work full-time in October 2010 for the pastry departments at Soby's and Soby's on the Side. He held that position for two years until he was promoted to Pastry Chef at The NOSE DIVE. After time in the kitchen at NOSE DIVE, he moved back to Soby's where he is currently the Pastry Chef.
He still serves on Coast Guard duty, and in summer 2014, he was invited to spend a week at the Department of Homeland Security's Headquarters in D.C. to assist with the retirement celebration of the Commandant of the United States Coast Guard.
John loves playing soccer, surfing, gardening and enjoys making his own sauces from what he grows. John's family still resides in Charleston, SC and he visits least once a month.
He loves to travel and work with other pastry chefs to learn new techniques and to improve his craft.

So I'm sitting in the office this morning going over some emails, updating my calendar, and checking out the latest celebrity gossip, when my sweet angel of a child (and I shall henceforth refer to him as angel child because he now sleeps through the night! woo hoo!), Tyler, starts climbing the stairs shouting, "WOOK MOMMY, WOOOOK!". Most of the time when he begins his ascent with these words it's because he's discovered a new toy (or a toy he hasn't seen in a while) and he wants to show someone...anyone!..his newfound treasure.
He comes running at me in the office proudly displaying his bounty as I scoop him up into my arms and say, "What is it honey? What did you find?!" Only then does the smell hit me. The foul, rotten, garbage, stink bomb smell. I peer down into my cherubic child's chubby fist, and lo and behold....HE HAS FOUND POOOOP! (insert choir of angels sound here). Apparently, my devil dog (who shall henceforth be referred to as such, UNTIL SHE STOPS CRAPPING IN MY HOUSE!) decided to take a dump at the bottom of the stairs, even though I JUST LET HER OUT 10 MINUTES AGO.
Here's where I have to explain that I am usually AWESOME when dealing with a crisis....blood, bruises, skinned knees...no problem. But when it comes to poop...I am not a rational parent. A rational parent would react calmly and take the child to the bathroom to clean up the mess. Since I make no such claims of rationality when poop is involved, I did what I do best....FREAKED. OUT. I ran around in circles holding Tyler, with the poop still firmly in his grasp, not knowing which way to go first. I was screaming out loud, "POOP. AHHH! YOU HAVE POOP IN YOUR HAND! DOG POOP! GAHHHH!"
I finally managed to come to my senses and went into the bathroom, pried the poop from his little hand, and threw it in the toilet. I promptly threw him in the bathtub and scrubbed him until his skin came off (not really, don't call child services on me).
Why do I have a feeling this is only the beginning?

Beetles' Return Isn't So Fab
The voracious Southern pine beetle is back, wreaking havoc on the Florida's $6.1 billion lumber industry.
And it looks like the tree growers have themselves to blame.
Late in June, foresters spotted the beetles -- which burrow into trees' bark, eventually killing them -- in scattered areas along the Suwanee River in Madison and Hamilton counties....

- OSC Settles Immigration-Related Discrimination Claim Against Staffing Agency
- October 3, 2014 | Author: Scott T. Decker
- Law Firm: Greenberg Traurig, LLP - Atlanta Office
Intra-agency referrals are exposing employers to increased risk of immigration compliance and enforcement actions. The U.S. Department of Justice Office of Special Counsel for Immigration-Related Unfair Employment Practices (OSC) has Memorandums of Understanding in place U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and U.S. Immigration Customs and Enforcement, among others. As reported previously, OSC has launched several investigations against employers over the last 18-20 months after receiving information from USCIS on the misuse of the E-Verify program by employers, often in the form of employer data exception reports. These reports track an employer's E-Verify usage and compare key data point to national averages, and, if an employer's usage is in some way inconsistent with the national average, USCIS will send the report to OSC for review and possible investigation. A recent case is another example of this trend and reminds employers to make sure all company representatives who are using E-Verify are doing so compliantly.
In its most recent agreement, involving a California-based staffing company, OSC received a referral from USCIS about possible immigration discrimination during the hiring process. OSC concluded that members of the company's staff required non-U.S. citizens to present specific documents during the employment eligibility verification process to establish their US work eligibility, but did not have the same requirements of similarly-situated U.S. citizens. Under the settlement agreement, the staffing company will pay $230,000 in civil penalties to the United States, create a $35,000 back pay fund to compensate individuals who may have lost wages due to the company's practices and undergo training on the anti-discrimination provision of the INA. Certain branches of the staffing company will also be subject to departmental monitoring and reporting requirements for a period of three years.
This settlement serves as a reminder to employers of the need to ensure compliance with the anti-discrimination provisions of the INA when completing form I-9 and E-Verify for new employees. Running afoul of these requirements can subject employers not only to monetary damages running into six figures, but also the reputational damages associated with agreeing to a settlement with OSC.

d o u c y - urban abstract Vancouver photography by Chris Yakimov
March Kids
Taken just outside BC Place Stadium. The original was shot with my Canon Rebel G on 100 asa slide film of some type, and cross-processed. I toned it in photoshop to see what greens would look like. I think I like the original better, but I'm getting tired of the reds. ;-) Jan 5/2007: I was getting grief for how this shot was slightly tilted, so I've tried to rotate it so that it looks balanced. (Good grief, it was, good grief).
Your Thoughts
I really like colours you've brought to the piece. The first thing I felt when I saw this photograph was (peace). I'm still looking at it as I type this - it's compelling. Nice.
I love the texture here, and the lines are so crisp and clear. There is some kind of happy togetherness in this picture that I really like.
Jenni @ 2006-04-14 11:47:35
I tilted my monitor to the left after using this as my desktop wallpaper. Then back to the right when I had an app open. Doucy owns me a new monitor base.
Dex @ 2006-04-18 16:09:11
Second fave! Playfull colour, great use of the space above and below demonstrating openess, potential, direction and mystery. For me you managed to captivate so much in this shot. I also like how although they're not all kids the differences in size between them is minimized by the shot..."we're not so different you and I". I could go on and on about what this shot means to me...another keeper we need to negotiate about.
Golden Boy @ 2006-05-04 16:02:28
I like it. But I think I would LOVE it if it had less context. For example, you might try taking this, and cropping off the pavement in the foreground (at the bottom of the frame) leaving a strip just thick enough for those people to be walking on, but removing the relationship to the surroundings.

Waking in the morning or before going to bed you find out your mobile phone is receiving many negative and discouraging txts sometimes kinda irritated.
I need to buck up and started replying all the txts. Motivating and encouraging the senders so that they could take up the challenge and keep on going without giving up.
Not that I dislike sharing and encouraging the people. It just made me ponder why they rather spend their energy to find faults, demotivating and thinks negatively than using it to encourage, motivate themselves and solve the problems.
No doubt we can complain and grieves. I do 'emo' too. Yet sometimes i might even complain till the kingdoms comes. It is normal that we might came into a point that our mind are devastated and fatigue. But if spending your entire days, hours, minutes to 'emo' just won't help the issue. It won't all sudden overturn the scenario just to customised it for you.
All we could do is just keep fighting. Keep finding the solution and solve the puzzle.
"It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop."
I remember someone told me that every bricks, every step we take does matters because a castle is build by millions of bricks. A Rome is not build in one day.
Even Jesus, Muhammad, Buddha too needed to go through all sort of obstacles, so what make us so special exclude from it right?
Everything happen for a reason. And every reason will only make us grow wiser and stronger. So buck and strike back!

Metallica's Lars Ulrich Talks Grammys, Lady Gaga
Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich says the Grammy technical issues are 'not really something you can do much about'
When Metallica took the stage with Lady Gage during the 2017 Grammy Awards, there were some glitches—notably, James Hetfield's microphone wasn't working properly for most of the performance. But, that didn't bother Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich. In fact, Ulrich says mishaps like the mic not working is a normal part of being involved with an event like the Grammys. "There was a slight technical snafu, but that's not really something you can do much about," Ulrich said in an interview with Rolling Stone. "You just learn to live with that side of it. It happened to Adele last year; I guess this year it was our turn."
Ulrich went on to say very nice things about Lady Gaga's performance with Metallica, even calling her the "quintessential perfect fifth member" of Metallica. "Her voice, her attitude, her outlook on everything is so awesome," he said. "(The performance) was so effortless and organic and she just has the spirit of hard rock and metal flowing through her veins. It comes really easy for her. There's nothing contrived; she just has this super warm, easy energy."
In other news, Metallica recently announced a massive 2017 North American headlining tour. Avenged Sevenfold, Volbeat and Gojira will provide support for most of the trek. That tour will kick off May 10 in Baltimore, Maryland, and keep Metallica on the road through an Aug. 16 stop in Edmonton, AB. The just-announced tour is in support of the band's latest studio album, "Hardwired…to Self-Destruct," which dropped late last year.

Retail pak Random House Audio 2002
CS ISBN 0553713051 $16.99 Two cassettes
The obscure biblical character Jabez, from Chronicles, has become a popular person in evangelical circles. A member of the tribe of Judah, he lived during the time of the Judges, who ruled the Israelites from the death of Joshua until Saul became king. Although Jabez is mentioned in only two verses of the Bible, his beautiful and rich prayer recorded there has become a mantra to many. Lemmons has done a bit of research to invent a life for Jabez--to make it interesting, Jabez is portrayed as he interacts with a not so supportive family, as well as with the Judge Ehud, who we find out has a close tie to him. Jeff David performs well in this production. With his deep, gravelly voice, he may sound at first like a stereotypical patriarch telling his story, but then this work IS about a patriarch telling his story. And David's steady pacing and expressive delivery move the performance well beyond a stereotypical delivery. M.T.F. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine [Published: AUG/SEP 02]

City keeps Olympic fans in line - for everything
Welcome to the Olympics. Now line up. What for? For everything.
Owing to its compact nature, downtown Vancouver is bursting at the seams with people out and about (or "oot and aboot" as they say here) enjoying the atmosphere of this Winter Olympics city.
On the weekend, even more people stream into the city for a slice of the Olympic vibe, making a chair inside a restaurant or bar a highly coveted thing.
The Olympic Super Store, located inside the majestic Hudson's Bay Company building, is a huge draw, with lines around the block. Adorable red Olympic mittens are the must-have item this time as stores routinely sell out their stock in hours.
Nearby, people waited up to four hours to get into the Royal Canadian Mint for the privilege of putting on special white gloves and fondling genuine Olympic medals.
At one of the downtown plazas where folks gather to celebrate the events of the day, it's up to an eight-hour wait for a 30-second thrill ride down a zip line. That doesn't seem a fair return on investment to me, the whee! factor notwithstanding.
At night things turn young and rowdy, as Canadians, most of them seemingly under the age of 25, take to the streets to bellow and bray. The other night I was surely the only card-carrying AARP member out on Granville Street past 10 p.m., taking in the clamor.
A group of young men approached, one of them carrying a Canadian flag affixed to a hockey stick, all of them singing, "We're white, we're red, we're (expletive)-up in the head! Can-a-dah! Can-a-dah!"
Young guys stoked on life and libations shouting "Canada!" reminded me of the 49ers' glory years, when fans would yell "Niners!" after big wins, the one-word exhortation saying it all.
Nearby, a line a block long (again, no one over 25) formed from the steel-barred door of a liquor store at 10:40 p.m. With closing time at 11, it was dicey whether folks deep in line would make it in the door before the fateful hour.
Suddenly, young liquor profiteers emerged, one selling a pint of cheap vodka for $25, another hoping to score $60 for a 20-pack of Budweiser.
God help this city, and every window in it, if Canada does not win the gold in men's hockey. Come to think of it, God help this city if Canada does win hockey gold.
Gotta go. There's a line waiting somewhere, for something.

Saturday, March 24, 2007
Well, it is very early on Sat morning here. (west coast) As I wait for hubby to get up, I check my e-mail, drink coffee, read the paper, feed the cats, then I can take a breath for a few minutes.
I can see now how the house is going to look when we get finished. I have a call into our lawn service guy-John. I want to ask him if he could get us a couple of guys to help hubby rip up the rest of the carpet. I will pay them the going rate and provide lunch. Next week we will be renting a "bin" from the trash company and just getting rid of the old carpet and other junk. It is so much easier than trying to haul away everything. I need to go out and order the 7 foot bookcase, a coffee table, chairs for the dinning table and a couple of futon type chairs for the little bedroom. the futon chairs can also be beds in case of vistors such as my kids. I will also be getting a new stove, fridge and washer. It is tough waiting for all this to get done. It's funny how impatient I am right now. I know these things will be getting done, but I want them done "yesterday"!!!
Well, we finall got all that stuff in the little bedroom "OUT". I had decided to just "donate" all the stuff as a "pay it forward" thing. For once I think it would be nice not to have to think on if I should get a tax break on something.
We went ahead and got the carpet out of the room. Hubby did it in sections as I just can't lift heavy things anymore. It just makes me so angry that I can't do that kind of work. I'm angry that my back is all screwed up. I was the one who always stressed doing heavy lifting and the like the proper way. Lift from the knees, don't twist and lift, etc. And yet here I am with 2 vertebrtas closing in on my spinal cord. Most days I can put up with the pain. Lately tho, I can feel it even when I roll over in bed. I know I need to go in and see Dr. Dennis and see if one of those "magic shots" will do the trick again. Let me expain the shot. I go to the out patient clinic, and when I am called, I go into an operating room, lie on my stomach. They then put me out, that's so I don't move or twitch, stick a needle into L3-4, the space between the 3rd and 4th vertebra and shoot in cortazone. when I wake up, it feels like my hip bones are frozen. For the next few days I just need to take it easy. I hadn't been able to get much medical help while taking care of Mother as the volunteers would only do 2 hours twice a week. With hubby having to take me to get this shot, I needed more than the 2 hours. the really sad part is, friends of Mother or myself just didn't have the time to help me out. So, here I am. I guess I am still reeling about the fact that all the care was left up to me. Now, I am in need and well, I have to go it alone-again.
On a different note, those of you who do any knitting or crochet know the joys of winding your yarn by hand. I use my knees to wind up balls of yarn. Others use a chair to hold yarn while winding. Well, I found a woman who not wanting to pay out up to $70 for a winder, figured out how to make on for under $20. Her llink is
Plus if you go to her site she now has knit patterns.
