From London's Mayfair area, Tamarind of London comes to Newport Beach with the tandoori-based cuisine of Northwest India, sporting an American accent.
Here, the elegant Michelin-starred dining establishment has relaxed into Orange County's more casual beach mode. Executive Chef Sachi Mehra, who worked at the London establishment, has planned a menu to suit the local palate. So alongside such Indian classics as chicken tikka, you will also find citrus shrimp and quinoa salad with beets, oranges, cilantro and chives.
Beautifully renovating the space formerly occupied by Sage-on-the Coast, the only real giveaway that this is an Indian restaurant is the row of three shiny red tandoor ovens at the front of the open kitchen. There is a large, high-ceilinged dining area to the right with comfortable booths along the walls and windows. On the left is a large enclosed bar area with tables for dining and sliding glass doors that open out to a small plant-filled patio dominated by two large fire pits.
Our accommodating waitress was happy to serve our food in the unusual order we selected. We began with two vegetable side dishes listed in the "To Share" category along with the not-very-authentic goat cheese and scallion naan bread.
With its fluffy dough and cheesy center, it functioned as a delightful and tasty scoop for the excellent smoked crushed eggplant. The smokiness provided a subtle aftertaste, while the predominant flavors were cumin, tomato and a nice degree of spiciness.
Our other dish, the "five mix yellow lentils" (pigeon peas, chickpeas, pink, white and red lentils) arrived like a soup without a spoon. It was watery and the flavors were diluted. We mentioned this to our waitress, who whisked it back to the kitchen for the chef to redo and took it off the bill. The second coming was much superior— thicker and more textured with the delicate flavors of ginger, cilantro, lemon and a hint of heat.
Our second round of dishes was from the "Firsts" menu: steamed mussels and seared scallops.
We ordered paratha on the side for sopping up the juices. Paratha is unleavened whole wheat bread with ghee smeared between the thin layers and baked in the tandoor. Ghee is brown butter with the milk solids removed. It was especially tasty dipped in the light coconut milk broth that accompanied the small plump mussels. The broth was accented with hints of fennel coriander and curry leaves.
Several items on the menu have squiggly symbols beside them, indicating that they are straight from the London menu. One of these is the spice-crusted seared scallops. Three rather thin scallops were dusted with ground fennel seed and star anise, and then seared.
Each rested on a dollop of smoked tomato chutney and was topped with more of the condiment as well. Although the description sounded inviting, the seasoning on the scallops got lost in the chutney, which tasted like mildly spiced tomato paste.
Of course, we had to try a curry. We selected one that was new to us, spicy duck. The chunks of meat had been slow simmered in a rich tomato based sauce that had depth of flavor, and a nice amount of heat but no distinctiveness. Also, the duck could easily have been lamb; it had no "duckiness." A great curry usually has a dominant spice and then underlying layers of flavor.
The simpler dishes from the tandoor oven include juicy marinated New Zealand lamb chops and half a jidori chicken.
We were wooed by the promise of jaggery caramel on the rice pudding. Jaggery is unrefined cane sugar with deep dark flavor. The coconut milk rice pudding was bland and barely sweet. All of the flavor came from the grated coconut and the caramely grated jaggery.
Indian restaurants are few and far between in Orange County, so it's nice to have another one on the scene, especially one that is so attractive.

Recess on North Brand is offering the gimmick of all restaurant gimmicks. But with this one everybody wins. Executive Chef-Owner Sevan Abdessian was the first Los Angeles resident to win a spot on the Food Network's popular New York-based "Chopped" show. Thursday-night customers also win with $30 delicious practice dinners including appetizer, entrée and dessert.
On Nov. 8, about 30 hungry patrons enjoyed food, wine and conviviality. As on "Chopped," a mystery basket of four ingredients accompanied each course. To match the format of the show, Recess Manager Christopher Chacon chose the ingredients and did not reveal them to Abdessian until preparation time. Customers were also kept in the dark until dinner at 6:30 p.m.
Abdessian is out to prove he is the best chef in Glendale. He certainly proved it to Thursday-evening diners. First up was a risotto appetizer. The four ingredients were the risotto, raw Mexican water shrimp, lemon and tomatoes. "Risotto is tough to cook," Abdessian said. He believes that a chef worth his salt must make perfect risotto.
In "Chopped" one chef is eliminated after each course. After dessert, there is one chef standing as the winner. To prevent being "chopped" by well-known New York restaurateurs, Abdessian is determined to win after each of his courses on the show.
Already a winner to his Thursday night patrons, each looked forward to the main course. It was another winner — pasta and delectable meatballs with a light tomato sauce. Cilantro made up the fourth ingredient.
Arriving hungry, each diner still had room for dessert. Served in glass coffee cups, a touch of espresso, chocolate, whipped cream and pistachios blended to perfection.
Glendale residents taking advantage of the chef's practice dinners included Glendale Healthy Kids' Sharon Townsend Roth, Susan Hunt, Pam and Steve Ropfogel, Sue and Steve Wilder, Suzonne Slaughter and her husband, birthday boy Randy Slaughter. "I'm addicted to cooking shows," said Pam, who added she and hubby have been to each of the first four practice shows.
Four Thursday night practice dinners have taken place. Don't miss the remaining three. The last one is on Dec. 13. Two days later, Abdessian flies to New York for the "Chopped" taping. The show's air date on the Food Network is to be announced.
Why practice your heart out and go on a reality show? The effort fulfills one of Abdessian's missions for Recess: "It's the [diners] that create the energy in your staff," Abdessian says.
A practice dinner will not take place on Thanksgiving. Recess offers a takeout Thanksgiving dinner for four for $100. And that's no practice.
Roberta Zanini Cysne and Anson LaMont Sowby renewed their wedding vows in Palm Springs this fall. Married for six years, the couple couldn't wait for a Silver or Golden Anniversary to say their vows in front of more than 50 friends and family gathered in a lush garden at the Parker.
Cysne is the daughter of Maria Emilia Zanini and Luiz Fernando Cysne of Sao Paulo, Brazil. Sowby is the son of the late Dr. Richard Sowby and yours truly.
In the absence of her father, Roberta walked down the aisle accompanied by her mother and paternal grandmother, Aurea Cysne, also from Sao Paulo.
Roberta, a partner of JilRo Designs, wore a strapless gown designed by Carlos Miele. The dress was a standout in ivory, layered with chiffon.
The ring bearer was the couple's 3-year-old son, Luke Ford Sowby. Flower girls were Madeleine Thomas, 9, and Zoe Thomas, 7, daughters of Anson's cousin Sarah Dammann Thomas and her husband Mitchell Thomas.
A dinner reception was held in another garden of the Parker. A "Star Wars" Darth Vader look-alike was a surprise drop-in guest.
Roberta, Anson and Luke live in Silver Lake.

EliteForm: That Next Big Thing Here Now
Compelling Video Describes Revolutionary Product
Honored Dobson Has One Motive: The Team
Follow Randy on Twitter at www.twitter.com/RandyYorkNsider
Randy York's N-Sider (First in a Series)
Nebraska's next big thing – its ultimate competitive advantage – is here now, and it's called EliteForm, an integrated software product that's being refined almost every day. EliteForm promises to become a household name not only in Nebraska but throughout college athletics, but first things first. EliteForm will be unveiled Wednesday, Thursday and Friday in a 10x20-foot exhibition space at the 2012 Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coaches Association's national convention in Orlando.
Six team members from Nebraska Global/EliteForm, the Lincoln-based software company collaborating with NU's athletic department to build that next big thing in athletic training, competition and sports science, will be manning that booth. They'll be in Orlando to explain how they've integrated a technological solution into a single platform that can redefine every boundary in the history of strength and conditioning training, which, in case you didn't know, was born in Lincoln and perfected here.
The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer of Nebraska Global, plus EliteForm's general manager and its sales and technology leaders, will be in Florida to market and sell this next big thing to every school in the country that wants to keep up with the Joneses. And let the record show right here right now that the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers are the Joneses in the highly competitive world of strength and conditioning training. Anyone questioning Lincoln as the birthplace of American strength and conditioning training hasn't been to Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin. Yes, inside that stadium, the home of the Longhorns, there is a major display that documents Nebraska's rightful claim to that incredibly high honor.
Half a Century of Record Wins and Sellouts
Know this. The school that launched the strength and conditioning industry in the late 1960s has no intention of losing the ultimate competitive advantage that has enabled Nebraska to become the No. 1 winner in major college football over the last 50 years and establish an ongoing NCAA record of 50 consecutive years of home-game sellouts. But let's be honest here. Because Nebraska is an athletic program that believes the best way to predict the future is to invent it yourself, Tom Osborne sees strength and conditioning as just one of the critical components in a student-athlete's overall development.
Osborne, Nebraska's athletic director, understands that multiple millions of dollars are required to envision, plan, build and continuously improve that next big thing. He's savvy enough to know that Nebraska can lead the way as the prototype user. To justify costs, he gets why the overall benefits of EliteForm must extend to other Division I programs, plus additional colleges and universities, not to mention the professional ranks as well as some progressive-minded high schools.
At Nebraska, EliteForm is the engine that will drive the overall student-athlete experience. It will revolutionize strength and conditioning training, but is just one facet of a larger initiative that Osborne envisions when the Huskers move the Nebraska Performance Lab into 20,000 square feet of research space in the East Stadium expansion. "We'll be part of the research space," said Brian Zimmer, general manager of EliteForm and a direct report to Steve Kiene, the Managing Principal of Nebraska Global. "We just started our efforts early on. EliteForm is the first product that's resulted from our collaboration with the Athletic Department and obviously, we anticipate there will be more to come."
Brandon Rigoni, a member of James Dobson's strength and conditioning staff, said: "The research space is intended to create a competitive advantage at Nebraska. No one else has ever seen the things we're working on. It's brand new ... nothing like it ... anywhere."
Student-Athlete Portal for What's Important
Existing EliteForm technology, which benefits strength and conditioning specifically, is the first constituent piece of a much greater vision. A student-athlete centered portal, from which nutrition, athletic medicine, strength and conditioning, academics, life skills and coaches can benefit, will encompass a holistic approach to support best practices throughout the entire Nebraska Athletic Department.
Like every system built for efficiency and effectiveness, EliteForm is already well-honed in its simplicity, elegance and ease of use. "We soft-launched the product at another national convention in San Antonio in January," Zimmer said. "We saw that as an opportunity to show people and validate the product, and it resonated with strength coaches so well that we stayed around to demonstrate it for the American Football Coaches Association Convention right after that. They were excited. They kept using the same word – wow – to describe it. They said they'd never seen anything like it. They thought it was amazing."
Well, guess what? Those coaches just saw a preview of what was to come. Coaches attending the three-day convention beginning Wednesday will see the full-meal deal in Orlando. "We've refined the product quite a bit since January," Zimmer said. "Nebraska gave us great feedback on the entire product and helped us realize the importance of features like video instant replay. In January, that capability was only available on certain lifts. Now, we have instant replay on every lift."
EliteForm's StrengthPlanner helps athletes and coaches focus on the process instead of the paperwork. Instead of all the busy work, coaches have more time to coach because they're not fighting Excel, whiteboards and stacks of generic copied cards.
Weight Racks Feature Built-in Intelligence
"We're equipping the weight racks with intelligence they've never had," Zimmer said. "We're solving problems shared by others and realized early this is blended product. It's the first time anyone's ever stitched a number of different aspects about weight training together. We're tailoring workouts to athletes and enabling accountability because we're tracking what the athletes do and providing real-time feedback right back to the athlete."
What excites strength coaches is EliteForm's ability to put "eyes"/cameras at the rack and data in athletes' hands. "When they use this product, it motivates and excites them because they can visually see their progress throughout the workout," Zimmer said. "At the same time, we're capturing all of the information vital to training performance and storing it in a way they've never experienced before."
In essence, the personalization of workouts helps every athlete optimize what coaches would consider an ideal workout. Because everything is integrated, each athlete can adjust a workout based on velocity and power. Video captures are seamless from every rep and shown with advanced 3D cameras. Post-workout analysis is better than ever and every piece of data is right at your fingertips.
From Wednesday through Friday, Zimmer expects "excitement and a very busy booth" in Orlando "because we're the first product that's tied everything together on one platform, and that makes it a real easy and powerful function for coaches," Zimmer said.
The system allows each school to tailor its own program without restrictions. "Rather than sharing trade secrets, we've simply designed the basic infrastructure for everyone to develop their own solutions," Rigoni said.
As EliteForm Grows, So Will the 'Joneses'
In other words, Nebraska welcomes the next big thing with the open arms of the earliest adopter, and that keeps the Huskers ahead of a field that will widen once more schools decide to lay their own EliteForm tracks. Remember, you don't have to keep up with the Joneses when you are the Joneses.

Cybill Shepherd's son was detained at Philadelphia International Airport early Tuesday morning after being accused of stealing from the carry-on luggage of two passengers, police said.
A witness told authorities they saw Cyrus Zachariah Shepherd-Oppenheim, 22, take items out of the luggage, police said.
This allegedly happened on a United Airways Flight from San Francisco into Philadelphia. Shepherd-Oppenheim was traveling back to school at the University of Pennsylvania following winter break.
"Another individual let the complainant know that they believe that the defendant had taken some items from that bag," said Philadelphia Police Lt. Frank Venore. "[The individual] didn't know that wasn't his bag at that time."
A camera belonging to one of the victims was found on Cyrus' seat and the rest of her missing items were found in a trash can in one of the plane's lavatories, police said.
Money and documents were taken from the second victim's luggage and his travel folder was also found in the lavatory trash can.
Shepherd's son was arrested and taken to the holding cell at the airport where the police say those missing documents were later recovered.
Police took custody of Shepherd-Oppenheim after 5:30 a.m. and in their news release said the stolen items included, "a Cannon digital camera, leather make-up case, small travel bag and United States Currency."
"We had enough probable cause with the witness identification and the complainant statements along with the evidence recovered to charge him," said Venore.
Shepherd-Oppenheim was charged with two counts of theft, which are misdemeanor charges.
The young man's council, Philadelphia defense attorney Bill Brennan, said the charges are "serious, but minor."
"As things shake out, it is my belief that there may be no criminality here whatsoever," Brennan said.

Cystic Fibrosis and the Respiratory System
Cystic Fibrosis and the Respiratory System
How does cystic fibrosis affect the respiratory system?
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited disease that causes problems in the cells of the body that make salt, water, and mucus. There is no cure for CF. It is a disease that gets worse over time. But improved treatments can help people with CF live longer and healthier lives. Most people with CF live into their late 30s, and many into their 50s. Some people with CF now live into their 70s.
CF causes thick mucus to build up and clog certain parts of the body like the lung. The buildup is caused by an abnormal gene called the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR). CFTR controls the flow of water and salt in and out of the body's cells. Changes cause mucus to become thickened and sticky. This first affects the small airways in the lungs. Over time, it can affect all airways.
Children with CF may develop lung infections. This is because bacteria that are normally cleared from the lungs remain in the thickened mucus. Many of these lung infections are long-term (chronic).
Children with CF also can have problems in their upper respiratory tract. They can develop nasal polyps. These are small growths of tissue from the lining of the nose that extend into the nasal cavity. Sometimes these polyps must be taken out by a healthcare provider. Children with CF also often have sinus infections.
A child with CF may have these symptoms, because of how CF affects the respiratory system:
Chronic cough
Coughing up blood
Collapsed lung
A rounding and enlargement of the fingers and toes (clubbing)
Frequent lung infections with thick phlegm
Heart enlargement
Nasal polyps
Shortness of breath
Inflamed nasal sinuses (sinusitis)

Wendy and Alex Caisse of Buck's Naked BBQ said they hope to sign a lease this week for 50 Wharf St. in Portland, the former home of Havana South.
PORTLAND — The Old Port will soon add another restaurant to the city's menu with the expansion of Freeport-based Buck's Naked BBQ.
Wendy and Alex Caisse, owners of the Route 1 barbecue restaurant, said they expect to sign a lease this week for 50 Wharf St.
They said they already have plans laid out for the space, their third location, which they hope to open in November.
"We had some apprehension in the beginning," Alex Caisse said. "But over the years we've become very confident in our staff and in our products. Now we're ready to delve into a new atmosphere."
The Caisses said they looked in New Hampshire and as far south as Boston before finding the space most recently occupied by Havana South.
"I was actually out of town when (Alex) found it," Wendy Caisse said. "Usually when I go on vacation, I come back and he has a dog. But, it's good to get a new restaurant, too."
The Caisses said they had been looking for a new space for about 13 weeks.
"We're highly motivated to get it open for the holidays," Alex Caisse said. "All the guts are there, we just have to put our touch on it."
Their existing restaurants, in Freeport and Windham, are each specialized to accommodate the clientele of the area, and the Wharf Street location will follow suit, they said.
Wendy Caisse said she is shopping for old windows and doors, along with "tacky" knick-knacks to decorate the Wharf Street restaurant, which, like the Buck's in Freeport, will have an expansive kids' play area.
The major difference at the new location will be an expanded bar compared to their other locations, with 40-50 seats, to cater to Portland's nightlife.
In a tough economic climate, and in a city where restaurant competition is tough, the Caisses have their work cut out for them.
Portland is often cited as having more restaurants per capita than any almost any other city in the country – although the veracity of that statistic is hard to establish, according to Dick Grotton, president of the Maine Restaurant Association. Nonetheless, Grotton said, the food-dense climate, with some 400 restaurants, undoubtedly creates a tough atmosphere for new establishments.
What is true is that more than 50 percent of restaurants go out of business every year for the first five years, so it's a risky business, Grotton said. But he thinks the Caisses are well positioned.
"Alex is an experienced chef and his wife has vast experience in the food industry," Grotton said. "They know what they're doing and they're not likely to be blindsided by things. They understand very well where the market is going."
Grotton said the key is matching the restaurant's menu, style and ambiance with the customer base, and not over-investing.
"It's a huge crap shoot," he said. "But, no matter what you're selling, you're food has to be good."
The Caisses are betting on their food, and on Buck's becoming the only dedicated barbecue restaurant in Portland. They think their serious focus on the American-style cuisine and family-type atmosphere will be the right combination for their new location.
"There's a lot of barbecue out there; there's been a huge growth in the industry," Alex Caisse said. "We don't want to be all things to all people. We want to pick something and do it well, and treat people well."
The Caisses said being in the Old Port will also allow them to expand their catering business, hoping to appeal to nearby office workers for quick, drop-off deliveries of their dry-rub delicacies.
Alex Caisse said he takes barbecuing seriously, and has the credentials to back it up. In addition to being the New England Barbecue Society's Maine representative, he is also a Kansas City Barbecue Society certified barbecue judge and competes in competitions around the region, including the Western Maine BBQ Festival in Fryeburg and the Mainely Grillin' & Chillin' State BBQ Competition in Eliot, formerly known as the Celebrate Maine Festival.
All food at Buck's is made in house, from scratch, the Caisses said, from their now retail-ready dry rubs to their salad dressings.
The husband-and-wife team owned a cafe and bakery before they switched over to barbecue. Alex Caisse began barbecuing while catering for the Portland Yacht Club, and bought a tow-behind smoker and to test recipes before opening the first Buck's location in 2005 in a friend's old Route 1 garage, about a mile south of the current Buck's in Freeport.
"People used to wait in their cars in the winter because the restaurant was so cold," Wendy Caisse said, noting that you could almost see outside through the cracks in the walls. "And, people used to be dripping sweat in the summer time because it was so hot."
They eventually moved into the current 8,800-square-foot space near Exit 20 of Interstate 295 and then opened their Windham location in 2010.
Alex Caisse said the relationship he and his wife have is one key to their success.
"We play off each other," he said. "It's a great balance. My wife is my best and worst critic. You always need somebody to bounce something off of."
He said they also credit their success to their staff, some of whom have worked for them for almost a decade. They hope to add 50 more employees in the Old Port.
Above all, he said, they owe their success to one thing: the pig.
"Praise the lard, truly," Caisse said. "It's done a whole bunch for us."

Have you ever started baking and to your surprise the recipe calls for a stick of butter at room temperature? Yikes! Then you realize I don't have enough time to wait, I need to start baking now! You automatically reach for the microwave door! Wait, do not put your butter in the microwave, but instead pull out the cheese grater.
Placing the butter in the microwave will change the chemistry of the butter and by using microwave butter you may not get the results you are looking for. By grating the butter, you allow it to stay in a similar state as if the butter was sitting out at room temperature. This tip also works well for frozen butter.
Another tip for butter- when a recipe calls for butter it is always understood that you use unsalted butter. Never use salted butter unless the recipe states to use salted butter.
Hope this tip helps you out in the kitchen next time you forget to leave the butter out :) If you use other quick methods for softening butter I would love to hear them! Have a wonderful day and thank you for stopping by :)

Matai defends former teacher; sentencing delayed
Sentencing for 26 year-old former teacher Tone Pulou, who admitted in court he had a sexual relationship with his 13 year-old student, has been continued to next week Tuesday.
The continuance came after Uto'ofili Asofa'afetai Maga, sa'o of Pulou's family took the stand last week Wednesday as a character witness for Pulou.
Pulou offered his apologies at the beginning of the sentence hearing to the court, the government, his church, his spiritual parents (who were present), his family, siblings and his parents for his actions.
He also apologized to the victim and her family and told the court he is truly remorseful and he would abide by the law and not commit any further crimes.
Following his apologies the defendant asked the court for a second chance so he can return home and continue his service to the church and his village, care for his family and parents, especially now that he has an additional responsibility as the father to a baby boy.
"Please give me the opportunity to return home so I can provide for my son," pleaded Pulou.
Uto'ofili, a former Director of the Department of Health, was given the opportunity to speak on behalf of the defendant.
He identified himself as the head of the clan for the Uto'ofili family in Fagaitua, where the defendant, who is one of the family's untitled men, lives and serves him within their family and church.
Uto'ofili added that about three quarters of his family lives in Pagai, a neighboring village of Fagaitua, and whenever they hold meetings it's Pulou's responsibility to inform the results of the meeting to their family in Pagai.
Prior to the incident, Pulou was the family's secretary, who records everything each time they have a family function (fa'alavelave) said the chief.
Uto'ofili said he depends on Pulou for his many talents pertaining to the culture.
Deputy Attorney General Mitzie Jessop Folau asked Uto'ofili if he is familiar with the victim or her family. Uto'ofili replied he knows where they live but doesn't know them personally. Folau asked Uto'ofili if he was aware of the family clan the victim belongs to and if he has had any interaction with that family within the village and the church. Uto'ofili replied yes.
Folau then asked Uto'ofili if he was aware that the victim was only 13 years of age when the incident occurred. Uto'ofili said he wasn't aware of the details before however, he knows now the victim was 13 years of age.
Folau then asked Uto'ofili if he was aware that the defendant had admitted to having sexual intercourse with a 13 year-old child, saying, "He has pled guilty to rape and he also admitted to impregnating a 13 year-old child."
Folau asked the matai, "Are you, as a matai, ok with that?"
Uto'ofili asked back, "ok with what?"
Folau rephrased her question, "Are you ok with the fact that he had sex with a 13 year-old child?"
Uto'ofili replied "I did not say in the beginning that it was ok with me. Things happen accidentally".
Folau fired back, "So this was an accident?"
Uto'ofili replied "I guess so".
Folau asked Uto'ofili if he condoned the defendant's actions and Uto'ofili said. "Of course." He said he doesn't like this kind of action because "people don't like this type of stuff."
"Yet you're singing praises for the defendant," Folau said. Uto'ofili did not respond. Folau then asked Uto'ofili, "Do your praises remain the same?" now that he knows Pulou has pled guilty to raping a 13 year old child.
Uto'ofili fired back, "like I said earlier— I didn't know. Whatever I said— let it be!"
Folau asked Uto'ofili, "Your opinion today and your testimony remain the same, even though you now know that the defendant has pled guilty to raping a 13 year-old child?"
"Absolutely!" replied Uto'ofili without hesitation.
Deputy AG Folau rested her questioning after which the judges called the prosecution and defense lawyers to the bench. After consultation, Associate Justice Lyle L Richmond continued sentencing to next week Tuesday and told defense lawyer, Assistant Public Defender Michael White, to advise his client about potential witnesses.
Pulou was initially charged by the government with rape, first degree sexual abuse and endangering the welfare of a child however, in a plea deal with the government he pled guilty to rape while the government moved to dismiss sexual abuse in the first degree and endangering the welfare of a child.
Pulou admitted in court he had an ongoing relationship with his student which led to the girl's pregnancy.
He admitted during the plea hearing last month that he started having sexual intercourse with his female student between September 2009 and February 2010.
The rape charge carries a sentence of five to 20 years in jail. According to the government's case, the female student told police she had sexual intercourse with her teacher starting around September 2009 and ending in February 2010.
The matter came to light when the female student and her mother went to see the OBGYN clinic at LBJ Medical Center only to find out she was pregnant and then Child Protective Services with the Department of Human Social Services was contacted.
Pulou fled the territory to Australia last year when the government moved to file criminal charges. In October 2011, when Pulou visited relatives in Hawai'i, he was arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation agents based on a warrant issued by the local District Court.
Associate Justice Lyle L Richmond presided, accompanied on the bench by Associate Judge Mamea Sala Jr.

Grant Green
Bobby Hutcherson recorded frequently for Blue Note in the 1960s, though this session remained unissued until 1999. The first half features the vibraphonist in a cooking hard bop session with Joe Henderson and Duke Pearson, starting with an energetic take on the normally slow ballad "If Ever I Would Leave You" and a sizzling Hutcherson original, "For Duke P." Guitarist Grant Green is added for the second half, beginning with the first recording of Henderson's "The Kicker," which became well known from it's later rendition on Horace Silver's highly successful release Song for My Father. Because this is part of Blue Note's limited-edition Jazz Connoisseur series, don't delay in picking it up. ~ Ken Dryden

World leaders failed the world at the Copenhagen meeting in December 2009. They walked away from the global summit without a treaty to save the climate.
They still have a chance to get it right and we will not let them fail. The future of 6.5 billion people is at stake... You are one of them.
Climate change is not slowing or stopping. It is only going to get worse, and it's happening fast. The speed with which climate change is occurring continues to confound scientists, who admit that they cannot keep pace with climate impacts already being observed.
We're at a point no one thought would happen for many years. We have a very narrow window of opportunity to act before it's too late. The failure of Copenhagen lost us more time. The task of tackling this has never been so urgent.
Eminent climate scientists say global emissions must peak by 2015 and decrease rapidly from there. If this doesn't happen, they predict the Earth's climate will reach a point of no return, and any action taken will be too late to avert runaway climate change.
We are on a path that scares me.
Professor Steven Chu, United States Energy Secretary.
The UN climate summit at Copenhagen in December 2009 was tipped as one of the most important meetings of our time.
Tens of thousands of delegates, leaders, protestors, interest groups converged in Copenhagen - the vast majority convinced of the need for a binding global deal to reduce emissions. So how is it that the summit so miserably failed to produce one?
There was a lot of talking in Copenhagen, but very little listening. Many demands were made, but few concessions. Domestic priorities and personal political survival won out.
Reaching a meaningful global agreement in Copenhagen rested on two things.
The main problem was with the first point. Industrialised countries went to Copenhagen in the full knowledge that the pledges to cut emissions already on the table were hopelessly inadequate, but they still refused to increase their targets. This included New Zealand. The New Zealand Government's attitude to climate change throughout 2009 without a doubt contributed to the weak outcome. We did not take a serious approach to climate change on the international stage. For Copenhagen to succeed, developed countries like New Zealand needed to adopt an emission reduction target of 40% by 2020 on 1990 levels.
Here's the good news. Copenhagen happened. The fact that it took place at such a high political level, with 120 global leaders in attendance, is a good sign. Many of the presidents and prime ministers who travelled to Denmark told their people they were off to save the world. They may have failed this time, but there is no doubt they appreciate the magnitude of their task. and the risk they run in ignoring overwhelming public support for taking global climate action..
As well as preliminary meetings in the lead up, the next big scheduled meeting is in Mexico at the end of 2010. Leaders will get back together then and must finish what they failed to do in Copenhagen – agree to larger industrialised country emission reductions and adequate funding for developing country action and adaptation and make sure these measures are part of a legally binding treaty.
If we don't do something about it [climate change], and be seen to be doing something about it, you will ultimately suffer push back from your consumers that buy your product in the UK and in other countries. That is the advice we get from the British High Commission.
Prime Minister John Key speaking to farmers in July 2008
New Zealand's best selling point in key international markets is our clean green brand. The biggest risk to this is the perception internationally that we're not taking climate change seriously.
Unfortunately our clean green reputation is slipping. Our record on greenhouse emissions is shocking. We are among some of the worst emitters per person in the developed world, and our emissions are rising faster than those in the United States. 2009 was the year in which Kiwis, and the world, began to wake up to this. Major feature articles appeared in newspapers both in New Zealand and Europe, exploding the clean green "myth".
It is important and beneficial for New Zealand to be seen as a responsible global citizen and do our bit for achieving the fair, ambitious and legally binding climate deal that the world needs.
New Zealand - 65% pure? It just doesn't have the same ring to it. We can be bolder than that. If not for pride alone, then for our bottom line. Demand created by the concerns of climate change will be the biggest social movement in the first part of this century...rather than debating the measures and the science and entertaining the naysayers, let's get on with it.
Geoff Ross, NZ businessman, founder of 42 Below Vodka
New Zealand has the ability and resources to become a 'low carbon' economy. All that's missing is political will. 40 per cent by 2020 is an ambitious target, but it is not a figure pulled out of a hat. The science dictates that this is what's required. Only a 40 per cent target for the developed world will stop us reaching the 'tipping point' of catastrophic climate change.
There are many ways of reaching the target:

Tennessee men sentenced in Colorado poaching case
October 16, 2012
GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials say two Tennessee men have been sentenced for killing a bear out of season and throwing the carcass off a cliff.
The agency said Tuesday that Harley Boss Manley, of Martin, and David Ronnie Coleman, of Union City, pleaded guilty earlier this month to killing a black bear north of Glenwood Springs just before fall bear hunting season started Sept. 1.
Their hunting privileges were suspended for five years.
Manley received a two-year deferred prison sentence for felony willful destruction. He must forfeit his bow, pay a $4,000 fine and donate $6,000 to a Colorado tip line for wildlife violations. A Garfield County judge ordered that Manley be placed under supervised probation.
Coleman was fined $3,000 and must donate $4,000 to the tip line.

Product Highlights
Fits: 48mm Filter Threads
48mm Filter Threads
This item is noncancelable and nonreturnable.
The Heliopan 48mm Screw-in Rubber Lens Hood is designed to prevent unwanted stray light from entering a lens by extending and shading its front end. This prevents lens flare and improves image contrast. In addition, since the end of a lens is extended when using a hood, you also get the benefit of extra protection from accidental impact to that lens's front element.
This lens hood is constructed with a rubber compound that is UV and temperature resistant, and the rubber material can be rolled back for storage or to convert the hood for use with wide-angle lenses. By rolling back the lens hood, its opening can be made to correspond with a wide-angle lens's angle of view so that vignetting is avoided.
A metal mounting ring connects the hood to a lens with 48mm filter threads and a 0.75mm thread pitch. The mounting ring also features corresponding 48mm front filter threads which can be used to accommodate filters, lens caps, or other threaded accessories.

so about this whole "paleo" thing...
13 comments:
Very informative. Glad you feel like you have found whats right for you!ReplyDelete
I read every word thinking, yes! I know what you mean. Following the Paleo concepts, I have started feeling so much better and really enjoying what I eat, too. I am not a fan of labels, either, but it is nice to have one word rather than three sentences to describe what we can and can't eat to feel our best, isn't it?ReplyDelete
I agree, too, about enjoying the cookbooks. While I love reading many gluten-free cookbooks and magazines, almost every recipe is for something I can't eat.
Keep us up to date about how this is going for you.
thanks for sharing this with us, some great information. it seems every is talking paleo these days, so I grabbed a book from the library to learn more. and now this great post! so happy you have found a way of eating that works for you and makes your body feel right!ReplyDelete
I know what you're going through. My husband and I are doing a similar anti-candida diet (the kids are trying). It was hard to realize how our eating habits would have to change - and hard to actually change them. But we're feeling better, and knowing how this kind of eating is healing our bodies makes it worth it.
I look forward to seeing your new recipes - I've been experimenting a lot too!
Carrie, We went paleo/primal about two months ago. It's the first time in years I haven't had any migraines or stomach upset. I was resistant to taking beans out of my diet, but figured that if soy were a problem here (it is... majorly) others could be problematic as well. :) It's so nice being able to eat and not feel bloated or otherwise icky after eating. And thank goodness for almond and coconut flours when I do get the urge to bake!ReplyDelete
There is nothing worse than feeling like crap when you think you're doing all the right things! So glad you have found what works for you, Carrie!ReplyDelete
I'm right there with you, on a very similar journey. I am gluten-free and have to watch many other foods due to migraines. I recently cut out most carbs after reading Taubes' Why We Get Fat and What To Do About It. I reviewed it on my WTWFA blog.ReplyDelete
Good for you for finding a way to feel better!
- AnonymousOctober 20, 2011 at 7:57 AM
Carrie, you have expressed a parallel journey to the one that I am on! Thank you so much for sharing.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousOctober 20, 2011 at 8:48 AM
The stigma of anything paleo has kept me from even considering it (I'm a runner and gym rat and drank the carb-load Kool Aid). But my gluten free diet doesn't seem to help quite enough. I react to foods still, and my gut tells me it's the weird new grains I'm using to substitute for wheat. I'm still afraid to say it out loud, but inside, I'm thinking a paleo plan is where I'll find true relief, and oddly, freedom.ReplyDelete
I'm glad you shared. My family has been gluten free for years. This past year my husband has transitioned to Paleo - which means most of the family's dinners are paleo, which the kids barely touch. I admit, I am the one resisting and allowing the kids their indulgences.ReplyDelete
Great post! Your nutritionist sounds amazing. Best of luck on your new journey and I look forward to checking in. :)ReplyDelete
You've done such an amazing job of listening to your body and taking great care of yourself in 2011. It's fantastic that you've learned to find your own rhythm!
I tried Paleo for about 6 months about a year ago now, and I have to say it didn't work very well for me. I just got too skinny and I was always low energy and the lack of carbs gave me terrible headaches. BUT Paleo totally changed my way of thinking about the foods I eat. When I first became gluten free I just wanted to replace everything I used to eat, but I realized subbing one processed food for another isn't helpful. I'm a college student so realizing this was not easy on me! Now though whenever I bake I turn to coconut flour first, and I now use honey, agave, or palm sugar for sweetening. I used to be a sugar junkie but paleo really helped me control that. I also learned that while I can do cheese in moderation (low lactose cheeses) and some yogurt, milk is pretty much off the table for me. I also got hooked on smoothies, explored and fell in love with tons of new veggies, and stopped relying on potatoes as a side dish. I think that even if the paleo diet doesn't work out for some, we can all learn a lot from it!ReplyDelete

At last a really useful and solid scoop!
Debra S from Olympic Peninsula, Wa
Very handy
Gabriel from Gabe from CA
The small scoop is perfect for scooping from 25 and 50 lb bags of feed. I store my feed in 5 gallon buckets with a seal. The short profile with handle above scoop easily fits in the bucket and allows you to get an full scoop easily. So glad i got this thing.
Linda/dale K from N.C.
Not as large as I had hoped; I've been using the plastic scoops of similar design from Premier and really like them, but the handles break off after a month or so of use. Was hoping the aluminum scoop ("4 lb.") would be as large but it is not. Otherwise still pleased with it.

Recovering from Religion
Nate Phelps, son of the pastor of Westboro Baptist Church, is a self-described atheist.
It may come as no surprise that members of Westboro Baptist Church, an extreme Calvinist sect notorious for its fire-and-brimstone picketing, are planning to protest at the upcoming Reason Rally — a national gathering of atheists. But at this event, they will also be picketing one of their own, rally organizers said.

Trace Adkins, Country Cruising to Make Good on Lost Performances
Country Cruising has partnered with Trace Adkins and his Nashville team to allow the January cruise attendees see all the performances that they unfortunately missed on this month's ship.
As you may recall, Adkins was allegedly involved in a fight with an impersonator on the cruise earlier this month, which may have spurred the singer to get off the ship in Jamaica and head straight to a rehab facility to treat his alcoholism.
The singer, his staff and Country Cruising are offering complimentary tickets to the passengers who were aboard the ship during the scuffle. Although he is still currently in rehab, guests can email firstname.lastname@example.com when Adkins begins touring again to inquire about their tickets.
To make sure the guests feel extra special after dealing with the drama surrounding the quarrel, they'll also get backstage passes and meet and greet tickets to the show.
The altercation was spurred by Adkins taking his first drink in over a decade and then allegedly confronting an impersonator. Love and Theft's Stephen Barker Liles said Adkins just couldn't take anymore, especially after the impersonator starting signing fake autographs with his name. As a result, Adkins debarked, and his ship performances were canceled.
The country star has battled with alcoholism before, and is no stranger to rehab. In 2001, Adkins plead guilty to a DUI charges. The following year, he entered a a 28-day treatment program. He completed the program at the Cumberland Heights Alcohol and Drug Treatment Center near Nashville.

SongFest is the remarkable summer vocal training program, begun in 1996, formerly at Pepperdine University and currently housed at the Colburn School. "Songfest" is Leonard Bernstein's dozen songs for six singers and orchestra, written as a contribution to the U.S. bicentennial festivities in 1976 (but not finished until 1977).
On Saturday night, SongFest finally caught up with "Songfest."
This was only the second full Los Angeles performance of Bernstein's complete score. When the composer conducted the West Coast premiere with the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl in 1983, then-Times music critic Martin Bernheimer, in these pages, called that the wrong place. Amplification robbed the work of textural intelligibility and orchestral subtlety. An alfresco ambience encouraged audience frivolity.
SongFest's "Songfest" was outdoors too, part of an all-Bernstein program hosted by Grand Performances at California Plaza downtown. Amplification was more brazen than the Bowl's ever was. There could be no orchestral subtlety, since there was no orchestra; it was replaced by two pianos and percussion. The evening was windy and chilly. Helicopter racket at California Plaza is also more abrasive than at the Bowl.
But it wasn't the wrong place for "a real right thing." That line by Frank O'Hara ends the first song. Jamie Bernstein, who served as the evening's host and cheerleader for her father, used it as a tag line for the whole work, as had Andrew Porter when he reviewed the piece in the New Yorker. I gladly join that chorus. "Songfest" is one of what I'd consider the three greatest all-American song cycles (William Bolcom's "Songs of Innocence and Experience" and John Cage's "Song Books" being the others).
Young singers brought, though not without struggle, fervor to words, which Saturday resounded over all obstacles. A grand gift to the public, Grand Performances, a free and freewheeling series, is democracy in musical action. Michael Barrett, who was closely associated with Bernstein, conducted with electricity and authority, making everything sizzle.
"Songfest" is a diversity-fest, a song cycle of acceptance. Texts come from many generations of American poets. Walt Whitman confesses to being "he who kisses his comrade lightly on the lips." Beat poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti recalls his hormones awakening in a penny candy store. The Puerto Rican poet Julia de Burgos refuses to be the property of spouse or boss.
Conrad Aiken can't hear music alone. Nothing to eat, nothing to smoke, ee cummings says, simply, "come on kid / let's go to sleep." Gertrude Stein intimates that when one in a married couple goes off alone to have a good time, "the one that was going came in all glowing." In the most emotionally pungent song, the lips Edna St. Vincent Millay's lips once kissed become unremembered. Three centuries ago, Anne Bradstreet found the depths of her love unfathomable. Less than a century ago, black poets Langston Hughes and June Jordon demanded to be America.
But what makes "Songfest" so affecting is not only that it is all-American but that it is also all Bernstein. Every poet seems to be speaking of or to the composer. Though the best-loved classical musician of his time, even Bernstein — especially Bernstein — sought acceptance, and he used every trick he knew to get it. The score is wickedly clever, jazzy, sentimental, pompous, personal and defensively sophisticated (for the Ferlinghetti song, Bernstein toys with what must be the first sashaying 12-tone series).
Still, "Songfest" struggles for acceptance. There have only been two recordings, Bernstein's own in 1978 and one conducted by Leonard Slatkin in 1992, two years after Bernstein's death. Performances since have been uncommon.
It was good then to spread riches around. SongFest used seven rather than six singers for the songs, which include solos and ensemble numbers. The standout was soprano Clarissa Lyons, who delivered "A Julia De Burgos" with angry, burning heat.
This was the first performance of John Musto's arrangements, and piano and percussion could become grating, but pianists (Siyi Fang and Leann Osterkamp) and percussionist (M.B. Gordy) were strong.
After intermission, many more from SongFest turned to Bernstein's far better-known show tunes from "West Side Story," "On the Town," "Candide" and "Peter Pan." They sought an archaic spirit with spirited enthusiasm rather than make mid-20th century standards fresh.
Yet more, mostly younger SongFest singers got into the Bernstein act for a lunchtime concert Friday in the Colburn's intimate Thayer Hall, where they explored Bernstein's art song repertory. That included his final work, "Arias and Barcarolles," a cycle of seven songs for three soloists and two pianos.
This is a summing up score. Bernstein looks back at the feelings on the birth of his son, on stories his mother told him. It ends with a dying composer's memorials to friends who had died before him.
"Arias and Barcarolles" is also ignored. The deeply felt performance, coached by Barrett (who was a pianist in the premiere and first recording), gave this valedictory meaningful new life.

Materials: Drawing paper; various drawing materials, all black (eg: charcoal sticks, vine charcoal, charcoal pencils, black conte crayons, graphite); some round things
I limited this to black and white to provide focus. Color is wonderful, but it can be hard to focus on line, or shape, or anything else, really, when color comes into play. Mostly I wanted the kids to explore the different materials, and the round things were there to provide something to look at, a starting-off point. They could easily be square, or triangular, or tall and straight. Just as long as there's not too many of whatever it is.
The boys chose some charcoal to start with and set to. My older son decided to draw what he saw.
My younger son complained a few times that he thought we'd be doing a project (by which I think he meant, where is the thing I'm going to make? What am I supposed to do here?). Both boys pressed the charcoal quite hard, and I suggested they see what the material could do—Look, I said, as I drew on my paper, it can be dark, or light. You can shade with it. When it gets all over your fingers, you can create a filled-in spot with just the dust on your finger.
My older son began with a methodical experimentation of the various materials, discovering how charcoal was different from conte crayon was different from graphite. An artist doesn't know the best tool for the job until he's gotten a chance to experiment. As the boys worked, I drew, too, circles of different sizes, very loose, just playing with the black and grey, the positive and negative space.
My older son noticed, and his own drawings got looser as he went on. "I'm sort of copying you," he said. "There isn't any copying in art," I told him. "We just inspire each other, that's all." My younger son got interested in how the charcoal smudged, and all the dust it created.
I'd set up black paint at the easel for my two-year-old, but once she was done she wanted to draw like her brothers, and then the boys wanted to paint. I think the attentions get split a little that way, and you might want to leave that out. A toddler is not too young to explore a charcoal pencil.
(She found a piece of sponge on the table and decided to see what would happen if she rubbed it on her drawing.)
Charcoal can get messy, but it's nothing soap and water can't handle. Our art table surface is melamine, which wipes up incredibly easily. If you're concerned about your work surface, cover the table—even large sheets of newsprint taped to cover the area will work.
In the series of drawings each boy did, it's easy to track their experimentation and their increasing comfort level with the materials.

"I'm driven and I'm determined to be the best me I can be despite my difficulties," said ROTC's Major, Freshman Flight Commander, Expected General, and Executive Officer; Edwina Basilio. As a member of Troup High School's JROTC, Edwina knows that pushing through will get you through. As a young girl, she began having medical complications. Later, she was diagnosed as having two bone marrow issues, Aplastic Anemia and PNH. These are rare disorders that causes red blood cells to break down sooner than they should. The person she credits as helping her through these difficult health times is her mother, Yolonda Basilio Smith.
She credits Ms. Nichelle Wimbush for being a good mentor, "Both women play a huge role in my life. Ms. Wimbush is always there for me. When I was in the hospital, she came to see me. When I'm at school she makes sure I'm eating right and not slacking in my classes. That is important to me, because she shows she cares."

Zinger Ltd needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 238 designs submitted by 58 freelance designers.
We are currently working on a new media project with the aim to publish user generated content about sports. The project is specifically targeting a variety of sports and is therefore NOT just focused on main stream sports such as football.
* Internet affine, active people age 15-45
* Interested in any kind of sports (active and passive)
* Professionals as well as members of the public
additionally also one of the following characteristics
* Members of sports clubs (from management to beginners and (semi-)professionals)
* Fans of sports clubs
* Sports journalists
* Local media
We are looking for a modern and professional logo that clearly contains the brand name "sportnews.net". As the project is focused on a variety of sports, it is important for the logo to NOT emphasise on any particular one (eg NO (foot)balls as part of the logo).
The logo should have a fresh look and feel (Web 2.0 style - however you are interpreting Web 2.0) as well as it should be suitable for the use on backgrounds with different colours.
As one of the most important parts of our newly built brand identity, it is important for the logo to be unique and memorable across various media channels (online, mobile, print, ...)
It would be an advantage if the logo also contains a symbol in addition to the lettering (which eventually can also be used on its own).

Wedding band in yellow gold
Frédéric Boucheron, deeply in love with his wife, gave her a necklace representing a snake on the eve of one of his trips away. The protecarative animal watched over her when her husband was absent, and was a promise of a happy life. Since then, it has become a symbol of love and protecaration for all Boucheron women; a pledge of eternal attachment.
The wedding band Serpent Bohème is the promise of a happy life beside one's beloved.
In 1883, Grand Duke Alexei, a loyal Boucheron customer, buys an amazing emerald and diamond peacock feather necklace. It is called the 'question mark' because of its innovative shape that wraps around the wearer's neck without needing to be fastened, giving the woman freedom as well as enhancing her beauty. Designed by Frédéric and the head of his workshop, Paul Legrand, this asymmetrical piece is of an unprecedented modernity and will form part of the collection that will win the Gold Medal at the World's Fair in 1889.Discover all of the Boucheron moments

Internet access has been restricted in Bahrain leading up to and in response to the recent protests there. Both bahrainonline.org and bahrainrights.org were down prior to the start of the first planned protest. Some people are reporting they can't access Bambuser (a video site) in the country at this time; amateur footage of the protests had reportedly been uploaded there before it was blocked. Total internet traffic in and out of Bahrain is currently 10% to 20% below normal levels, which usually only occurs during a natural disaster or a major global sporting event.
Libya is also hating on the internet. For the past few days the internet there has been completely locked down at 11:00 PM GMT each night and not partially restored until 5:30 AM GMT the next morning. Sites like YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and Aljazeera continue to be entirely blocked there. Some are worried that the internet blocking would affect bit.ly links worldwide on twitter and elsewhere. Those people are called "nerds". Nonetheless, the CEO of bit.ly, John Borthwick, posted on Quora that three of their five root servers are not in Libya, so service will continue as usual. Continue the usual Rick rolling.
One more story about the big guys telling the little guys they can't have their internet: a nun in a secluded convent in Toledo, Spain has been asked to leave the convent after 35 years of service on the grounds that she used Facebook too much. Sister María Jesús Galán had 600 Facebook friends and earned a local government award in 2008 for digitizing backups of several prized texts in the convent's library. She has moved in with her mother and told her Facebook friends she would like to visit London and New York. This isn't the first internet-related scandal for the Catholic Church in Toledo, Spain. Last year, a priest there was kicked out for posting a picture of himself in his underwear online, advertising himself as a male prostitute for "women and couples" while bragging about his "well hung 15 cm" (5.9″) penis, and stealing €17,000 (US $23,263) from the church to buy prostitutes, phone sex, and pornography. We've nicknamed him "Saint Uproxx".

Either people really like lying to therapists and/or psychiatrists love lying to researchers, or we need to stay far away from psychiatry clinic parking lots. (BritishPsychologicalSociety)
- Belgium set a new record in recent history for going without a government for the last 249 days, and this article contains the greatest quote of the week, "Students took to the streets, with the promise of free beer and chips, and dozens stripped to their underwear."
