Sustainable Centre: Buildings
As outlined in Centre College’s ACUPCC action plan, the College is committed to energy conservation in all new construction and major renovation projects on campus. All new buildings and major renovations will be designed and built to conserve energy and enhance the human environment as evaluated by LEED silver standards or equivalent. Certification through the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) will be pursued as appropriate.
Centre is the only college in Kentucky to have four LEED-certified buildings (Pearl Hall, Brockman Commons, Campus Center, and Young Hall addition), including two at the Gold level.
Brockman Commons
The A. Eugene Brockman Residential Commons, completed in August 2012, was dedicated on October 20 during Homecoming weekend of the same year. The 124-bed facility, comprised of six separate buildings offering apartment and townhouse living for upperclassmen, opened for the beginning of the 2012-13 academic year. Brockman Commons has geothermal heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, and the first solar powered trash compactor on campus. The residential housing complex is certified LEED Silver.
Pearl Hall
Pearl Hall residence hall, opened in August 2008 and dedicated in October 2009, was granted LEED Gold certification in April 2009 by the USGBC for its environmentally friendly design and construction. From the start of planning stages, LEED certification was a major objective for Pearl Hall which has a geothermal heating ventilation and air-conditioning system.
Pearl Hall is Kentucky's first LEED Gold-awarded building and has the highest LEED rating for any residential facility in the state. Explore more about Pearl Hall: its origins; Pearl's LEED certification and what makes it green; and a photo slideshow. Pearl Hall is also the recipient of several awards.
Campus Center
The Campus Center opened in October 2009. The College's Campus Center has been granted Silver LEED certification by the USGBC. To read about what makes the Campus Center green, click here.
Young Hall
The addition to, and renovation of, Centre’s main science building, Young Hall, was completed in fall of 2010 and dedicated in October 2011. Young Hall is currently in review by the USGBC for LEED certification.
Norton Center for the Arts
The College's Norton Center for the Arts underwent a refurbishment and renovation in 2009. This endeavor included new seats in Newlin Hall, the location of the main stage, and a refurbishment of Weisiger Theatre. In addition, many renovations, listed below, contributed to the Norton Center’s qualification for LEED certification for an existing structure.
Energy-saving renovations include:
- Two 100-gallon water heaters replace one 500-gallon water heater.
- All windows and doors are now structured with thermo pane Low-E glass, insulating the building by keeping heat inside during winter and preventing the heat from entering during summer.
- Lights now use low-wattage CFL or LED bulbs, which use less energy and last 5 to 8 times longer than conventional light bulbs.
- A new HVAC system is installed.
In March 2013, two large music practice rooms had lighting retrofits completed. More than 80 fluorescent light fixtures were updated with electronic ballasts and T8 bulbs that do not contain mercury.
The College Centre
In 2005, The College Centre, a state-of-the-art academic/athletic complex, underwent an expansion and renovation. The project unifies Crounse and Sutcliffe halls, the main campus academic and athletic facilities, respectively.
Though LEED certification was not pursued on this project, the construction incorporated many best practices for energy conservation and sustainable design. Features of both buildings include: storm water control; water use reduction; construction waste management; use of recycled materials; low-emitting paints, sealants and carpets; and advanced lighting and ventilation controls.
Stone Guest Cottage
In the spring of 2013, high efficiency furnaces and air conditioner systems are being installed at the Stone Guest Cottage.
Olin Hall
In the spring of 2012 the energy management system at Olin Hall was updated. Also a 23-year-old chiller was replaced by a new system with turbocor compressors that are 20-30% more energy efficient.
Identifying energy use across campus
In 2009, Centre’s facilities management department began using the SchoolDude software system to track utilities use by each building and each utility meter. This system allows Centre to readily identify the most and least efficient buildings. From this information, future plans can be developed to improve or replace those buildings.

It's the perfect time for picnics! Picnickers often head out with complicated dishes, but you can keep it simple and inexpensive by picking up your picnic at Grocery Outlet! Here's how:
Fruit Salad - We have the best of the season in our produce aisles. Slice berries, melons, pineapples, and citrus for a delicious and refreshing fruit salad. All it takes is a little time, plus it's healthy and great for your family. To jazz it up, thread fruit chunks onto skewers for fruit kabobs.
Deviled Eggs - A classic, and totally inexpensive. There are hundreds of different ways to make them, but give them a twist by replacing some of the spices or fillings. Check out this article for Deviled Eggs with Pesto, Bacon & Cheddar or Tomato & Capers.
Cold Cuts - Sure, you could make the classic picnic staple of Fried Chicken, but why fuss? Pick up a bunch of cold cuts from Grocery Outlet's deli section, some cheese, bread, and other sandwich fixings and let everyone make their own sandwich. Or you could slice salami and cheese, and add olives and tomatoes for a great antipasto platter.
Looking for something a little different? Check out this article on easy picnic food you can make in 20 minutes from the New York Times: 101 Picnic Foods in 20 Minutes or Less.

Chapter 2: Perl VariablesBefore you can proceed much further with Perl, you'll need some understanding of variables. A variable is justare all examples of scalar variable names. Here's how variables are used:
$foo = 1; $name = "Fred"; $pi = 3.141592;You do not need to declare a variable before using it; just drop it into your code. A scalar can hold data of any type, be it a string, a number, or whatnot. You can also drop scalars into double-quoted strings:
$fnord = 23; $blee = "The magic number is $fnord.";Now if you print
$blee, you will get "The magic number is 23."
Let's edit first.pl again and add some scalars to it:
#!/usr/bin/perl $classname = "CGI Programming 101"; print "Hello there. What is your name?\n"; $you = <STDIN>; chomp($you); print "Hello, $you. Welcome to $classname.\n";
Source code: code:
Save, and run the script in the Unix shell. (This program will not work as a CGI.) This time, the program will prompt you for your name, and read your name using the following line:
$you = <STDIN>;STDIN is standard input. This is the default input channel for your script; if you're running your script in the shell, STDIN is whatever you type as the script runs.
The program will print "Hello there. What is your name?", then pause and wait for you to type something in. (Be sure to hit return when you're through typing your name.) Whatever you typed is stored in the scalar variable
$you. Since
$youalso contains the carriage return itself, we use
chomp($you);to remove the carriage return from the end of the string you typed in. The following print statement:
print "Hello, $you. Welcome to $classname.\n";
substitutes the value of
$youthat you entered. The "\n" at the end if the line is the perl syntax for a carriage return.
ArraysAn array stores a list of values. While a scalar variable can only store one value, an array can store many. Perl array names are prefixed with an at-sign (@). Here is an example:
@colors = ("red","green","blue");
In Perl, array indices start with 0, so to refer to the first element of the array @colors, you use $colors[0]. Note that when you're referring to a single element of an array, you prefix the name with a $ instead of the @. The $-sign again indicates that it's a single (scalar) value; the @-sign means you're talking about the entire array.
If you wanted to loop through an array, printing out all of the values, you could print each element one at a time:
#!/usr/bin/perl # this is a comment # any line that starts with a "#" is a comment. @colors = ("red","green","blue"); print "$colors[0]\n"; print "$colors[1]\n"; print "$colors[2]\n";Or, a much easier way to do this is to use the foreach construct:
#!/usr/bin/perl # this is a comment # any line that starts with a "#" is a comment. @colors = ("red","green","blue"); foreach $i (@colors) { print "$i\n"; }For each iteration of the foreach loop, Perl sets $i to an element of the @colors array - the first iteration, $i is "red". The braces {} define where the loop begins and end, so for any code appearing between the braces, $i is set to the current loop iterator.
Array FunctionsSince an array is an ordered list of elements, there are a number of functions you can use to get data out of (or put data into) the list:
@colors = ("red","green","blue","cyan","magenta","black","yellow"); $elt = pop(@colors); # returns "yellow", the last value # of the array. $elt = shift(@colors); # returns "red", the first value # of the array.In these examples we've set $elt to the value returned, but you don't have to do that - if you just wanted to get rid of the first value in an array, for example, you'd just shift(@arrayname). Both shift and pop affect the array itself, by removing an element; in the above example, after you pop "yellow" off the end of @colors, the array is then equal to ("red", "green", "blue", "cyan", "magenta", "black"). And after you shift "red" off the front, the array becomes ("green", "blue", "cyan", "magenta", "black").
You can also add data to an array:
@colors = ("green", "blue", "cyan", "magenta", "black"); push(@colors,"orange"); # adds "orange" to the end of the # @colors array@colors now becomes ("green", "blue", "cyan", "magenta", "black", "orange").
@morecolors = ("purple","teal","azure"); push(@colors,@morecolors); # appends the values in @morecolors # to the end of @colors@colors now becomes ("green", "blue", "cyan", "magenta", "black", "orange", "purple", "teal","azure").
Here are a few other useful functions for array manipulation:
@colors = ("green", "blue", "cyan", "magenta", "black"); sort(@colors) # sorts the values of @colors # alphabetically@colors now becomes ("black", "blue", "cyan", "green", "magenta" ). Note that sort does not change the actual values of the array itself, so if you want to save the sorted array, you have to do something like this:
@sortedlist = sort(@colors);The same thing is true for the
reversefunction:
@colors = ("green", "blue", "cyan", "magenta", "black"); reverse(@colors) # inverts the @colors array@colors now becomes ("black", "magenta", "cyan", "blue", "green" ). Again, if you want to save the inverted list, you must assign it to another array.
$#colors # length-1 of the @colors array, or # the last index of the arrayIn this example, $#colors is 4. The actual length of the array is 5, but since Perl lists count from 0, the index of the last element is length - 1. If you want the actual length of the array (the number of elements), you'd use the
scalarfunction:
scalar(@colors); # the actual length of the arrayIn this case,
scalar(@colors)is equal to 5.
join(", ",@colors) # joins @colors into a single # string separated by the # expression ", "@colors becomes a single string: "black, magenta, cyan, blue, green".
HashesA hash is a special kind of array - an associative array, or paired group of elements. Perl hash names are prefixed with a percent sign (%), and consist of pairs of elements - a key and a data value. Here's how to define a hash:
Hash Name key value %pages = ( "fred", "", "beth", "", "john", "" );Another way to define a hash would be as follows:
%pages = ( fred => "", beth => "", john => "" );The => operator is a synonym for ", ". It also automatically quotes the left side of the argument, so enclosing quotes are not needed.
This hash consists of a person's name for the key, and their URL as the data element. You refer to the individual elements of the hash with a $ sign (just like you did with arrays), like so:
$pages{'fred'}In this case, "fred" is the key, and $pages{'fred'} is the value associated with that key - in this case, it would be "".
If you want to print out all the values in a hash, you'll need a foreach loop, like follows:
foreach $key (keys %pages) { print "$key's page: $pages{$key}\n"; }This example uses the
keysfunction, which returns an array consisting only of the keys of the named hash. One drawback is that
keys %hashnamewill return the keys in random order - in this example,
keys %pagescould return ("fred", "beth", "john") or ("beth", "fred", "john") or any combination of the three. If you want to print out the hash in exact order, you have to specify the keys in the foreach loop:
foreach $key ("fred","beth","john") { print "$key's page: $pages{$key}\n"; }Hashes will be especially useful when you use CGIs that parse form data, because you'll be able to do things like $FORM{'lastname'} to refer to the "lastname" input field of your form.
Let's write a simple CGI using the above hash, to create a page of links:
#!/usr/bin/perl # # the # sign is a comment in Perl %pages = ( "fred" => "", "beth" => "", "john" => "" ); print "Content-type:text/html\n\n"; print <<EndHdr; <html><head><title>URL List</title></head> <body bgcolor="#ffffff"> <p> <h2>URL List</h2> <ul> EndHdr foreach $key (keys %pages) { print "<li><a href=\"$pages{$key}\">$key</a>\n"; } print <<EndFooter; </ul> <p> </body> </html> EndFooter
Source code: code:
Working example: example:
Call it urllist.cgi, save it, and change the permissions so it's executable. Then call it up in your web browser. You should get a page listing each person's name, hotlinked to their actual URL.
Chapter 3 will expand this concept as we look at environment variables and the GET method of posting forms.
Hash FunctionsHere is a quick overview of the Perl functions you can use when working with hashes.
delete $hash{$key} # deletes the specified key/value pair, # and returns the deleted value exists $hash{$key} # returns true if the specified key exists # in the hash. keys %hash # returns a list of keys for that hash values %hash # returns a list of values for that hash scalar %hash # returns true if the hash has elements # defined (e.g. it's not an empty hash)Resources

By Tom Rittman, Theretailequation.com
The holiday season is often considered the most wonderful time of year, but as retail sales soar, so do returns. And don’t be fooled by a seemingly valid receipt. Savvy fraudsters know how to prey on holiday cheer costing retailers thousands of dollars in fraudulent returns and exchanges.
The printed receipt is often the primary credential that confirms a return transaction’s integrity, but it doesn’t eliminate fraud. In fact, even the best POS systems with centralized receipt databases are vulnerable to improper use of receipts that appear legitimate. Here are nine ways consumers cheat with a seemingly valid receipt that retailers need to watch out for this holiday shopping season:
1. Renting/Wardrobing: Buying merchandise for short-term use with intent to return, such as video cameras for weddings, big-screen TVs for a Super Bowl game, or a dress for a special occasion is a form of fraud. Return abuse — excessive violation of a retailer’s return policies — is often viewed subjectively. No one wants to deter a good shopper, but at some point a person’s returns overwhelm the value of his/her purchases and send that customer into a negative margin situation.
2. Shoplifting with a receipt: Many thieves will shoplift with intent to return for full retail price. The classic example is when the fraudster makes a purchase, takes the item to his/her car, returns to the store immediately with receipt in hand, selects another of the same item from the shelf and proceeds to the return counter claiming he/she “changed his/her mind.” The receipt is valid and the return looks legitimate, but you’ve essentially paid this person for keeping your merchandise.
3. Returning old/damaged merchandise: The process for consumers is simple: buy to replace old/broken item, keep new, return old. This system uses the retailer to keep personal items “up-to-date” at the retailer’s cost.
4. Shoplisting: Also known as “shoplifting using found receipts,” fraudsters shoplist by using a discarded or stolen valid receipt as a shopping list to find items in a retail store and return them for a refund.
5. Employee theft: Associates can usually find a valid receipt in the POS system to return items.
6. Reselling: Another simple process for fraudsters: purchase, sell elsewhere, return unsold. In this case, the retailer is being used for free inventory.
7. Tender liquidation: Consumers may buy on one form of tender (maybe even a stolen credit card) and exchange once or several times to switch to merchandise credit, which becomes saleable in an online marketplace. They also may return with small additional cash outlay to finally return products for cash.
8. Price Arbitrage: This process consists of buying differently priced, similar-looking items and returning the cheaper one as the expensive item.
9. Fake receipts: There are fake receipt websites that thieves can use to duplicate or forge receipts, costing retailers thousands of dollars.
With some strategic planning prior to the holiday shopping season, retailers can effectively identify and reduce fraudulent returns and exchanges to help increase their holiday bottom line. Consider a return-authorization solution which enables retailers to rely on objective, verifiable data to determine whether a return is valid, rather than relying on subjective observations and guesswork by sales clerks. This objectivity approves all legitimate returns and ensures that only those with highly suspect return-and-exchange behavior are affected.

The company’s solutions use predictive analytics to turn each individual shopper visit into a more profitable experience. For more information, visit Theretailequation.com.

Welcome Letter
With economies around the globe coping with uncertain growth and volatility, underserved communities have become increasingly vulnerable to unemployment, talent flight, capital scarcity, and poverty.
Entrepreneurship has the potential to breathe life into struggling local economies by creating sustainable jobs, fueling economic growth, and mobilizing a wealth of untapped community assets. Because they are deeply connected to local resources and needs, small businesses and emerging entrepreneurs have an unmatched ability to leverage the core competencies of their region, while respecting society’s needs and operating in a responsible and sustainable manner.
Entrepreneurs’ resourcefulness and drive can create sustainable local economies that are vibrant, inclusive, and resilient, and ultimately spur the growth of a larger national or even global market. Despite the significant value they create, emerging entrepreneurs and small businesses often lack the infrastructure they need to reach their full potential and create an even greater impact on society.
To tackle this critical challenge, SAP and Ashoka Changemakers invite you to participate in a global competition: The Power of Small: Entrepreneurs Strengthening Local Economies.
The competition seeks organizations and partnerships that have innovative strategies to help emerging entrepreneurs and small businesses grow and thrive in underserved communities. All finalists will be invited to the SAP SAPPHIRE NOW Conference in Madrid, Spain from November 13-15, 2012, where four winners will be announced. Winners will receive a comprehensive capital, technology and promotion package, which includes a cash prize of US $10,000, a technology donation to optimize performance and scale operations, and promotion and networking opportunities with SAP executives and SAP customers at the SAP SAPPHIRE NOW Conference.
Potential solutions include those that:
- Fulfill the talent needs of small businesses by developing the competencies of underserved job seekers and connecting them to local jobs;
- Build the capacity of emerging entrepreneurs to enable them to scale their businesses;
- Link small businesses to larger supply chains or government resource pipelines;
- Unlock growth financing for established small businesses;
- Facilitate the collaboration of government, nonprofit, and private-sector entities to provide infrastructures that support small business and entrepreneurial growth;
- Help small businesses carry out environmentally and socially-responsible business practices.
Does your organization provide leadership training for women entrepreneurs? Are you filling the “missing middle” with collateral-free and patient loans for small businesses? Have you launched an incubator that helps local startups grow? Then we want to hear from you!

When Burwell's Stone Fire Grill announced their "Ladies Steakhouse" a month or so ago, few could resist making snarky jokes about feminized steaks, us included. After all, a quote from an early edition of the restaurant's website didn't quite hit the mark: “This steakhouse is not designed exclusively for females. Rather, it is best explained with one simple word….’Lingerie.’ Both men and women love it!”
Burwell's owners tasked themselves with "bringing the steakhouse into the 21st century" and creating the "next generation" steakhouse. "Approachable" was their word and appealing to women was their method. The press's reception of the concept was skeptical; curious, at best.
The restaurant has since downplayed the focus on the ladies, favoring instead words like "approachable" to describe everything from steaks and decor to Chef Eric Huff's take on shrimp and grits.
It's easy to make jokes about the original concept and, more seriously, to question whether stereotyping women is a wise marketing strategy. Really, Burwell's should have seen it coming, especially after the national “Bic For Her” fiasco, which ended up getting the pen company blasted for its female-specific ballpoint design with feminine colors and a smaller barrel fit for lady hands.
At the end of the day, they didn't really have to tell us they were softening the steakhouse model to appeal to chicks. After attending the restaurant's grand opening a couple weeks ago, I think it's clear Burwell's has done a fine job updating the masculine image of the traditional steakhouse. Burwell's has plenty of interesting elements that don't necessarily have to be tied to gender stereotypes.
For one, the overall atmosphere is impressive. They have created a space for socializing where people can "see and be seen" a term frequently used by co-owner Ken Emery. The open design lends itself to mingling and there are plenty of nooks for intimate dinners. Social areas include a long bar, a lounge area beside the VIP wine room, a community table, and a secluded two-top for private dining. The main dining area features curved booths that open toward other tables, allowing dinner parties to be a part of the buzz.
Textures and colors have a big-city aesthetic. Restored 1894 wood paneling rises from the first floor into the loft area, and exposed beams add a gritty charm. Sleek tables and chairs were crafted by one of the co-owner's brothers, and the lamps are made from blown glass. On an initial walk-through, Emery said the design intended to be sophisticated and electric, contrasting cool and warm colors in a muted fire-and-water motif.
A large art installment downstairs was constructed by a friend of Emery's, who borrowed the co-owner's bike to scavenge pieces of wood. Emery says this kind of "street art" is part of what makes Burwell's approachable. He notes that the goal of Burwell's is to never be more sophisticated than the guest, which means the art on the walls should be something that feels affordable to the patrons themselves.
The menu takes a seasonal approach with local seafood and contemporary American cuisine while the bar menu boasts traditional drinks from the 1800s. A 1,400-degree wood-fired grill fronts the exposed kitchen, and they'll use 700-degree stones for searing steaks tableside.
Burwell's aims to combat the male exclusivity with a design that "integrates modern stylings with traditional Charleston decor and masculine and feminine, emphasizing a welcoming atmosphere that is appealing to all." In addition, the menu is described as "offering steaks in a variety of cuts to suit men as well as the women." The line between appealing to female customers and offending them is a thin one, but overall, Burwell's seems to have gotten the message loud and clear that the idea of a ladies steakhouse is not only prone to jokes, but probably offensive to many women who feel just as capable of eating a giant T-bone as the next guy. So despite the initial blunders, Burwell's should be commended for adapting. If the restaurant continues to focus on "approachability" rather than femininity, Burwell's should very well succeed, which we're sure was the goal all along.
The restaurant is located at 14 N. Market and is open daily for dinner and late night, with happy hour every weekday from 4-7 p.m. They are hosting a preview dinner this week, so expect our food report later.

Perfect for July 4th - Burger Grill
Posted: Friday, Jun. 29,.
With grilling season here, even if a little too hot outside, the time has come to get outside and grill. Nothing is more popular to grill than hamburgers. Sounds easy enough, however there are some tips that will ensure burger success.Choosing the type of meat to use is the single most important factor to a great hamburger. Although burgers can be made with various types of meats, the most common is beef. There are many variables to consider when deciding on the type of beef to use, but the fat content of the beef is the most important. Ground sirloin is very tender and has a thin marbling of fat running through it, which is the perfect combination. Ground chuck is a great alternative. It also has a great marbling of fat and is usually less expensive than ground sirloin. The percentage of fat is noted on the package of all ground meat products, the best fat/meat ratio for hamburgers is 80/20, meaning that it is 20% fat and 80% meat.Patties should be portioned into equal sizes for grilling consistency. Gently press when forming patties or the hamburgers will be compact and dense. Make the center of the patty a little thinner. This will prevent the burger from being over plump as they cook and allow them to become rounded and thicker in the middle, making it harder to cook to the proper done-ness.Seasoning should be simple and generous, good kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper is all you need. Whether grilling on gas or charcoal, use a medium high and direct heat, meaning the flame or fire should be directly under the hamburgers.The most common mistake while grilling hamburger is the urge to want to move them or flip them. Once you place the burgers on the grill let them cook for at least 2 to 3 minutes before attempting to turn or flip.The perfect burger is charred on the outside while remaining juicy on the inside. If you practice these techniques, you soon will be a burger master.Chipotle Pimento Cheese & Bacon Double Decker BurgersMakes 4 Stuffed Burgers2 pounds ground chuck or ground sirloin
4 each, hamburger bun, 4 diameter
Kosher salt, black pepper, to taste
8 slices, thick sliced bacon, cut in half, cooked and drained
2 cups romaine lettuce, shredded, very thin sliced by hand
1 each, red onion, cut into 4 thick pieces
1 each, roma tomato, sliced thinPimento Cheese:
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1 cup pepper jack cheese, grated
3 ounces cream cheese
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon chipotle puree, canned in Adobo sauce, blend until smooth
Green onion, reserved bottoms, chopped very fine
3 tablespoons pimentos, choppedMix all ingredients for Pimento Cheese together to completely combine. Then cover and refrigerate.Preheat grill for direct heat grilling to medium high heat, about 475 degrees.Burgers:Divide meat into 8 equal portions, about 4 ounces each. Make thin round patties about 5 inches in diameter and season generously on both sides of patties. Lightly oil and season both sides of the onion slices, keeping each slice intact.Place patties and onions on grill over direct heat, cook untouched for 2 minutes and flip. Top each burger patty with equal portions of the chipotle pimento cheese and close lid. Cook until pimento cheese is melted and gooey, about 2 minutes. If burgers are done but the cheese hasnt melted, place burger on top shelf over indirect heat, until melted.Remove four burgers from the grill and place on a plate, top each burger with a slice of bacon (brake in half), top with remaining four burgers and remaining bacon. Remove the onions, keeping each slice intact. Lightly grill inside of buns.Add lettuce and tomato to the bottom bun, top with a stack of burgers, top with a slice of grilled onion, top bun and serve. * If double-decker burgers arent your thing, use an additional 4 buns.*Or make stuffed burgers by laying out four of the raw patties. Place a few tablespoons of the chipotle pimento cheese in the center, leaving an edge around the outer edge. Top each with the remaining four raw patties, seal by pinching edges together. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before grilling.

Fort Worth Restaurants - Fine Dining
Shhh! Don’t tell anyone but we have a full-service bar that will be opening soon at Chef Point Café. What we thought we would do today is highlight several wines that will be on our wine list, and give you a couple suggestions of what foods go with those wines. So strap on your taste buds and get ready to be schooled in wines.
The Chateau Ste. Michelle Riesling comes from the vineyards in Washington State’s Columbia Valley. This wine delivers an unusual and very pleasing combination of sweet lime and peach with a slight touch of minerals in it, and it is perfect with our delicious Grilled Salmon, Grilled Sea Scallops or Lobster Bisque.
The Caposaldo Pinot Grigio is produced in the vineyards of Northeast Italy and has a light straw color with a very pleasing bouquet of white fruit and apple. Toss in a hint of acacia blossoms and almonds and you have a great taste treat that goes well with the Salmon Piccatta or Shrimp Pasta.
The Kendall Jackson Chardonnay is a great buttery chardonnay that has a hint of melons, honeysuckle and lemon oil and would pair well with our Mussels, and the Nobilo Sauvignon Blance has high acidity that lends to a great grapefruit flavor and would be a great addition to the creaminess of our Crab Cakes.
And why are we bothering you with this information? Education of course; part of the fun and enticement of drinking fine wines is knowing what foods to pair them with. The perfect blend of wine and food is one of life’s true pleasures and hopefully by giving you a brief description and recommendation you will be able to enjoy your meals that much more. And listen, anything that makes the incredible meals prepared by Chef Franson that much better is a good thing, right?
In a soon-to-be written article we will highlight other wines that you will be tasting at Chef Point Café, namely the Blackstone Merlot, the Parducci Pinot Noir, the Diseno Malbec and the Estancia Cabernet Sauvignon, all reds of great body and distinction.
The best family restaurant in Fort Worth is getting better. Drop by and see the changes for yourself but bring your appetites.

The former Cherokee County Warrior second baseman recently signed a scholarship to play baseball for Concordia College in Selma. He reports to the school next Wednesday.
“It feels great,” Covington said. “Going to college to further my education and getting to play ball is just the best feeling in the world. I’ve been working hard for this. Just to be able to play at the next level is wonderful.”
Covington was the Warriors’ (8-16) leadoff hitter last season. He batted .242 with five doubles, a triple, 13 runs and nine RBIs. He also had six stolen bases.
Warrior coach Jim Garmany said Covington could play just about anywhere because he’s such a talented athlete. He tried to utilize his talent at the top of the Warrior lineup.
“He’s got a lot of speed,” Garmany said. “He understands the game and can make things happen as far as putting bunts down and getting on so guys can drive him in. I’m glad he’s going to have the opportunity to go on and continue playing. He’s deserving of it. He works hard and really loves the game. I think he’ll be a good addition to Concordia.”
Covington said the Hornets have recently restarted their baseball program. He’s thrilled to be a part of helping build it.
“I like the school and I like the coaches,” Covington said. “They’ve told me freshmen are welcome, and that there’s always going to be a spot open, so I’m just going to work hard and try to earn a position. I want to be able to grow with them throughout my career and help them get back on track in baseball.”

Spring Garden senior offensive/defensive lineman BJ Turner signed a football scholarship with Faulkner University on Wednesday. Sitting from left is Renee Turner (mother), BJ Turner and Jeff Turner (father). Standing from left is Spring Garden coach Jason Howard, Jenna Stewart, Heather Lamar, Kelsey Turner, Margaret (Mot-Mot) Jones (grandmother) and Spring Garden principal Mike Welsh.
Just days before the Panthers' jamboree last season, Turner tore the ACL in his left knee and needed surgery to repair it. Through hard work and determination, Turner was back on the field a month later, helping the Panther running backs Forrest Livingston and Tyler Morgan post 1,000-yard seasons and leading them to their best season in school history (9-3).
Now, Turner's hard work and determination has paid off with a college scholarship.
On Wednesday, Turner realized his dream of playing college football by signing with Faulkner University in Montgomery. The 6-foot-3, 270-pounder also received interest from Troy University.
"Just getting the opportunity to play college football is a big deal, and now my lifelong dream of playing college football is coming true. I'm on cloud nine," Turner said. "When I found out I tore my ACL, I had numb feelings about it. I didn't know what my future entailed, but having the support of my team and this community, it really helped me to pursue our season last year and to try to do the best I could. It's worked out wonderfully for me, especially with the season we had."
For Spring Garden coach Jason Howard, Turner's signing makes him doubly proud.
"BJ and I are kin, so he's family," Howard said. "My wife (Christina) is first cousins with his mom (Renee), and that makes it a little more special because he is family. It's good to see that everything he's done has paid off. I'm tickled to death for him."
Turner and Howard both commended Faulkner for sticking with Turner even after his injury.
"Faulkner won me over because they took a chance with me," Turner said. "They said 'Hey, come over here and show us what you can do.' That's what won me over. They offered me three or four weeks into the season, and for them to stick with it, I respect them for it. I can't wait to play there. It's going to be great."
Howard said Faulkner was sold on Turner following a workout with the Eagles last summer.
"He went down and had a great camp," Howard said. "When they found out he had torn his ACL, they said they were going to honor their offer to him. I respect Faulkner's coaches. They left it up to him if he wanted to play, and he decided he was going to play through it. He missed a couple of games at the beginning of last season, but we got him through it slowly. From Week 5 on, he played solid for us."
Howard said Faulkner hasn't decided what position they will play Turner, but he feels Turner will make an impact with the Eagles no matter where they put him.
"They loved him at offensive tackle, but also at nose guard in their 3-5 (defense)," Howard said. "Either way, I think he's going to excel."
Turner called Wednesday's signing "bittersweet." He's sad to leave his high school days behind, but he's anxious to show Faulkner what he can do.
"It's weird to end one chapter and begin another, but at the end of the day, I've still got more years to play football. That's all I can ask," Turner said.

The €10-12 million that Mr. Ilyumzhinov was referring to is the approximate total production cost, including prize funds, for one two-year cycle. For this I have to provide a rolling Letter of Credit plus $500,000 in cash to FIDE. We need a little bit of seed money that I will provide to handle cash flow; beyond that, I assume we will be profitable.
Especially this answer was screaming for a follow-up question, don't you think?
Paulson has a lot of experience, and is not scared of "thinking big". In talking about potential numbers that can be reached by chess, he says:
But, if you have those 300 live, plus 2,000,000 online, and soon another 10,000,000 on TV, with over 500,000,000 people playing chess at least from time to time, and another billion who generally regard chess as the epitome of intelligence, complexity and challenge, you can decouple the sponsorship from the finite audience of one event and offer a relationship with World Chess itself. Once again, we are not inventing anything new: simply looking at it from a different point of view, rigorously..

Absolutely agreed!
I don't quite understand what the "rolling letter of credit" entails. If I understand this correctly, the seed money is the amount that he is providing in hard cash. It is not clear what happens if sponsors are not found consistently to buy the "package" on offer. I guess the rolling letter of credit may have some details in this regard. Not sure when they are planning to release those details.
Also, I agree, based on known trends, the 2M/10M numbers appear to be way too much of an over-estimation. Aren't the current numbers for world championship match viewership online range in the 10's of 1000s? If you put all viewership across all sites, I would guess the max might be 100K. 2M is order of magnitude higher. I would be delighted to be proven wrong as well. :)

There were other odd details in the interview:
"The theme of the first year is a European Tour: Moscow, London, Lisbon, Madrid, Paris and Berlin."
It would have been more reassuring if Paulson had said something about Tashkent and Chelyabinsk, which are supposed to be the only two venues for the Grand Prix this year (if they don't materialise the whole schedule needs to be scrapped again). Ilyumzhinov did mention Paris, Madrid and Lisbon for next year, though he said Vienna instead of Berlin (the logical inference is that nothing's yet been decided).
It was also interesting to see Paulson say that "the Azerbaijan and Bulgaria bids were rejected", while a previous version of events was that Azerbaijan won. Probably the details don't matter (unless Danailov follows through and takes FIDE to court), though it seems things are also a little vague concerning Azerbaijan's support for the London venue: "Nothing is final on that score."
Of course the positive general words aren't a problem as long as they're subsequently backed up by concrete action. It'd be nice if that happened for a change! :)

It's funny that they keep making things up as they go in such an obvious way, just say Berlin or Vienna, that sounds nice and hopefully nobody will notice that they have no idea what will happen or that they said the same thing the previous time, with all Grand Prix events in "leading World cities" that turned out to translate to ex-Soviet cities only, for example Jermuk with 5000 inhabitants. Also funny that Paulson states that both Azerbaijan's and Bulgaria's bids were rejected and that he won with a bid that didn't even exist. Danailov stated that Azerbaijan and Bulgaria were the only bids, so how come someone else got the Candidates and who picked Radjabov and why?

In a way, Azerbaijan both won and lost the bid. According to themselves they won because Radjabov gets the wildcard (which may have been the main objective or motivation); according to Paulson they lost because the event will not be held in Baku. Paulson didn't submit a 'proper' bid but came in as a sort of joker when both formal bids were problematic: Aronian clearly said that he won't play in Azerbaijan, Kramnik at least wouldn't like to play in Bulgaria.
On Peter's article or opinion piece: How did Paulson's other projects start? I guess, or it wouldn't surprise me if "many important aspects ... [were] unclear" at their onset. How detailed were his initial plans about "the online media company SUP which now [sic] consists of huge websites"?
Yes he thinks big, probably too big regarding size of the potential audience - but something like "currently 1000 people are watching on the Internet, let's make this 1200" wouldn't exactly be a marketing statement that attracts sponsors. There are three possibilities, the future will tell: success, failure or somewhere in between i.e. roughly maintaining the current status quo. Would the last be a glass half full or half empty?

All these inflated numbers for potential online/TV viewers just show how detached from reality people at FIDE are.
Here is a simple proof: scroll up and record how many people like chessvibes (a major chess news site) on facebook. Less than 3000 right? Now do the same for a major European football site (hint: around 1 million). That's not an accident.
Face it. Its depressing of course, but the crowd just doesn't care about chess.

My bet is that this guy is a shady character. He looks after number one and would not invest in something unless he is sure to make a profit. There are things that he and Ilyumzhinov are not telling us.

Despite Kirsan’s flirt with sheiks and despots, he never found someone willing to hand the chess world a cheque of $10.000.000,-. In lack of a sugar daddy, we have to look for a regular profitable business model. Kirsan administration has proven to be rather amateurish in this field, so appointing an outside professional and successful businessman is for the better.
I am slightly optimistic about Andrew Paulson. He gave FIDE $500.000 up front + the rolling Letter of Credit (L/C), which works like an irrevocable bank guarantee. He didn’t mention the amount or the terms of it, but I guess it’s a financial commitment for minimum, let’s say, another $500.000,-.
$1.000.000,- isn’t exactly pocket money. The guy is serious. He has to work hard to succeed. Right now he is probably working his ass to ensure participation from the top players, he is setting up meetings with possible sponsors and he is paying his programmers to develop a new generation kibitzing software with improved computer analyzes, guess-the-move, live video or whatever functionality.
You don’t need a capital base of $10.000.000,-to make a 2-year turnover of €10-12.000.000,-. Usually it’s enough to have a capital base of 1/10th or less. The remaining income is generated from the running business. -If it runs. If it doesn’t, it fails and goes bankrupt. That’s normal. Like I said, stop dreaming about a sugar daddy.
Paulson’s main expense is staging the tournaments. Selling tickets and kibitzers are a small source of income. Advertisements and sponsors are the big ones. Also selling a wild card ticket to the organizer is a well known source of financing a tournament, pioneered by no other than FIDE themselves. We have to accept that Mr Paulson also seeks this kind of funding. This is common practice in other sports too. (The organizer gets an extra team/player seeded in the tournament).
Let’s hope for a successful Candidates in London in October!

I hope you are right. I am thinking of backroom deals with Russian oligarchs, tax loops, using chess for money laundering schemes etc. And once he has milked the cow in a year or so, he will announce a disagreement with fide/Ilyumzhinov and pull out.

I feel very optimistic about Mr. Paulson, I think he could sell ice water to Eskimos! However I have a disagreement with the author of the article;
"Two million online and, wait, ten million on TV? Ehm, haven't we failed for years to get chess on TV, for the simple reason that the general audience does not understand chess?"
I neither play Poker, understand Poker strategy or care about Poker but when big money Poker events are televised, I find them fun to watch - because the way it is presented!

I don't like the comparison to poker for a lot of reasons. First, you may not play poker or understand strategy, but if you are shown two hands, I suspect you know for certain which one is better. Second, poker is a game of incomplete information for the players, but not for us. When we watch as fans it's interesting (IMO) primarily because of the hole card cameras - we get a sort of voyeuristic power trip out of knowing someone is raising into an opponent holding the nuts for example.
Also, the stakes are much higher in televised poker - nearly all of those guys are playing for prizes around 1M USD or more. This leads into the last thing, which is that we have a much easier time imagining ourselves in the poker player's shoes, because in the short term, poker is still largely a game of luck where anybody can beat anybody else.
I'm a master at chess and a rank beginner at poker, but I guarantee I can finish ahead of Phil Ivey in a poker tournament more often than I finish ahead of Magnus in a chess tournament :)

o.k. perhaps it never will be as exciting as poker tournaments but the World Championship is for a prize fund of a couple of million and for public consumption the highlights can be presented, along with a simplified explanation making it easy to understand for those who know little to nothing about chess. Here is what I consider a step in the right direction in presenting chess to the masses:

Entrepreneurs are never sure of success, but if they see an opportunity, they take the chance. It may all end in an abysmail failure when the cash doesn't start to flow as anticipated, and the entrepreneurs and investors decide to chop the bleeder, leaving the chessworld with the debris and damages. Since FIDE really can't go any lower than it already does, this possibility obviously was of no concern in there decision.

Assessing the Auto Recovery
Paul D. Ballew , William A. Strauss
The Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago recently held its Auto Outlook Symposium on June 3 in Detroit. Besides generating a consensus economic forecast, the meeting provides a forum for in-depth discussions on the economy and the auto industry. This year's meeting provided a profile of the surging activity in the industry as well as a critical assessment of its ongoing structural adjustments. Although rapid sales gains and the improved position of the domestic industry have significantly bolstered the regional and national economy, the optimism at the meeting was somewhat tempered. This Fed Letter reviews the highlights of the Auto Outlook Symposium and the extended outlook provided by participants.

By Elaine Woo, Los Angeles Times
August 24, 2012
In 1956, Terry "Tubesteak" Tracy, freshly fired from his job at a downtown insurance company, bid goodbye to the 9-to-5 life and headed for the Malibu shore, where he built himself a shack out of wood scraps and palm fronds and sailed into surfing history.
He was, according to surfing historian Matt Warshaw, a decent surfer, but his ticket to glory wasn't what he did on a board: It was the aesthetic he embraced. Tracy, better known by the nickname "Tubesteak," was the personification of the rebellious surf subculture that emerged in California in the late 1950s. He was an anti-authoritarian sage in Wayfarer shades and Madras shorts who made bumming on the beach the essence of cool and an irresistible draw for a girl he called Gidget.
An impresario of Malibu beach when it became the most famous surf break in the world, Tracy died Wednesday at his home in San Clemente of complications of diabetes, said his wife, Phyllis. He was 77.
Although he hadn't ridden the waves in decades, he was revered as an elder statesman of the surfing world, known in later years for the articles he wrote about the crazy parties and beach pranks that became, Surfer's Journal publisher Steve Pezman wrote this week in a tribute, "anthems to true surfer style."
The burly bohemian was holding court outside his Malibu shack in the summer of '56 when a petite teenager named Kathy Kohner wandered by to borrow a surfboard. Five feet tall and 95 pounds, she reminded Tracy of a teensy girl he once met who had been dubbed Gidget, a mash up of "girl" and "midget." Inspired by the memory, Tracy later said, he called Kohner that — and the name stuck.
When she told her screenwriter father, Frederick Kohner, about the characters she met on the beach, he turned her stories into a novel, "Gidget, the Little Girl with Big Ideas," published in 1957.
With the release of the 1959 movie, which starred Sandra Dee as the title character and featured Cliff Robertson as a Tracy-inspired shack-dweller named the Big Kahuna, the surfer lifestyle blazed by Tracy and others exploded into popular culture, giving rise to a slew of sequels ("Gidget Goes Hawaiian," "Gidget Goes to Rome"), musical groups like the Beach Boys, and a popular 1960s sitcom starring Sally Fields as the fun-and-sun-loving pixie.
Although Tracy claimed the distinction, Kohner isn't sure he was the first surfer to call her Gidget. "I didn't write it down in my diary, so it's up for grabs," she said Wednesday. But what is certain, she said, was that "we've lost one of the legends of Malibu. He just embodied surf culture." And unlike other Malibu regulars, he was kind to newcomers.
"Some of the surfers would bury my surfboard or disconnect the distributor in my car," recalled Kohner, who goes by her married name Zuckerman, "but Terry was always nice to me. I wanted to hang out at Tubesteak's shack, not at the pit with the hard-core surfers."
The son of a Shell oil company worker and a housewife, Tracy was born in Los Angeles on March 13, 1935, and graduated from Cathedral High School. A football player of some promise, he attended Santa Monica City College but, unable to resist the allure of the beach, dropped out after a year.
At 15 he was surfing regularly at San Onofre State Beach, where he met Miki Dora, whose graceful surfing style would make him a hero of the sport.
According to Tracy's wife, he received his colorful nickname from Dora, who died of cancer at 67 in 2002. Tracy gave various explanations for the name. Sometimes he said Tubesteak was slang for a hotdog, which in turn is slang for a showoff, which Tracy often was. Other times he said the name came from his working at a restaurant called Tubesteak's.
Regardless of the origin, it was, say those who knew him, the perfect moniker for a surfing chieftain with a wry sense of humor and flair for performance
In his book "The History of Surfing," Warshaw described how every afternoon at Malibu Tracy paddled into the crowded surf and waited for one long wave. Then he would mount his board and, with onlookers whistling and shouting their approval, strike a series of exaggerated poses, including a stiff-legged move with arms outstretched that he called the Royal Hawaiian.
Upon returning to the sand, "grinning like Falstaff," Warshaw wrote, "Tracy would stop and look up at his still-cheering audience, lift his chin and grandly raise a hand in acknowledgment."
When his show was over, he resumed his perch by the shack, where he plotted further antics. Most memorably, he once dressed up as Father Junipero Serra and rode down the beach on a donkey.
He left Malibu in the late 1950s after a lifeguard berated him for lighting a fire to melt wax for his board. By then he had a family to support and held a number of occupations over the years, including driving a truck and selling real estate.
He stopped surfing in 1980 when he developed a painful swelling in one of his feet. That was just as well, he told The Times several years later, when he moved to San Clemente, because "people over 40 who surf look stupid." He made San Onofre beach his hangout.
"Surfing didn't have a sense of humor until Terry came along," Warshaw said this week. "What Terry recognized was that having a good time was the point, not the byproduct, of surfing at the beach. He was the guy who was having the best time."
In addition to his wife of 54 years, Tracy is survived by seven children, Pamela Guinn, Jennifer Tracy, Jocelyn Graham, and Patrick, Michael, Jonathan and Moe Tracy, all of whom he taught to surf, and eight grandchildren.

The Cincinnati-based lender will refund $4.3 million to California borrowers who obtained a four-month installment loan online, according to a lawsuit filed by San Francisco City Attorney Dennis Herrera.
Herrera alleges Check 'n Go engaged in an "illicit rent-a-bank scheme" that attempted to dodge California's maximum allowable annual interest rate of no more than 36 percent for that type of loan, according to a press release from his office. The lender reportedly offered installment loans of up to $1,500 with annual percentage rates exceeding 300 percent, "through a questionable arrangement with First Bank of Delaware."
Herrera also accuses Check 'n Go of making online installment loans to California consumers with interest rates as high as 400 percent.
Although the lender has not admitted wrongdoing, it agreed to pay restitution to people who are eligible, according to the suit. Claimants can receive between $20 to more than $4,600.
People who have received loans through the chain's stores do not qualify. Chico has a Check 'n Go at 118 W. East Ave.; Oroville has one at 1124 Oro Dam Blvd. E.
To make a claim, people must have obtained a four-month installment loan online through checkngo.com, ilp.fbdel.com or commandloans.com
Anyone seeking more information can call 1-855-581-2350 or.

Michael and his four younger brother and sisters watched in fear their father beat his mother. There was a lot of yelling and screaming. The next door neighbors heard the fighting and called the police. Michael watched the officers arrest his father and take his mother away in an ambulance.
There was no one to watch the children, so the officers took them to the Crisis Nursery. Michael was only 5 years old and very emotionally upset. All the children had been through such a traumatic time that they couldn’t eat or sleep. Michael’s mother had to be hospitalized for a week, so arrangements were made for the children to stay at the Crisis Nursery until she was released.
During that time, the nurse gave the children an initial health screening to make sure they were physically okay. They had arrived with only the clothes they wore, so the children were given clothing, socks, and shoes to wear and there were plenty of toys and activities to keep them busy.
The Nursery staff notified the school to let the teachers know the children were safe. As the days went by, the children began to calm down and become accustomed to the reassuring routine of the Nursery. The staff worked to keep the Nursery as calm as possible, and provided the extra care and attention that the children needed.
When Michael’s mother was released from the hospital, Michael and the children were able to return home. The Crisis Nursery outreach worker helped Michael’s mother to locate additional support services in the community, and also worked with her to help her find a job. The children returned to the Nursery several more times for short visits to give their mom a chance to catch up on her rest and to aid her recovery.
“At bedtime, Michael’s favorite thing to do was to pick out a different quilt each night, usually with cartoon characters on it, for his bed in the Nursery.” –Crisis Nursery Staff

The Chevrolet Cruze is quite possibly the most anticipated car from Chevrolet this year, and is grabbing headlines in the Chinese automotive media quite frequently over the past few weeks.
In foreign markets, the Cruze is expected to replace the Daewoo Lacetti, which is usually badged as a Chevrolet for Euro markets, or Suzuki for the US market. However, it appears that in China the Chevrolet Cruze will sit below the Chevrolet Epica, but above the Chevrolet Aveo, and is unlikely to see service under the Buick brand, which will leave the Daewoo Lacetti badged as a Buick HRV in China. So, only a little complicated!
I saw this car I think whilst testing another car on a highway.
Cruze is the third-gen Lacetti(GM Daewoo J300); it is the new Lacetti, not its replacement.
Wrong. GM thought the Daewoo-based Lancetti was too poorly designed, thus, they are using the new, designed by OPEL, Delta II chassis for the new Cruze. It is not another Pinifarina/Daewoo collaborative design.
.
It was sold as the Optra in Japan, and it failed miserably. What a horrible car. Who’d buy such a car when you can get a Daihatsu Materia for a similar price? It’s only Â¥1m.
> they are using the new, designed by OPEL, Delta II chassis for the new Cruze. It is not another Pinifarina/Daewoo collaborative design.
.
.
“The new version of the Delta architecture, dubbed Delta II, is currently being prepared by GM-Daewoo.” -Wikipedia
.
Delta II is a GM Daewoo chassis, Cruze is a GM Daewoo engineered and designed vehicle launching first in Korea in November this year, full 6 montsh before it shows up in Europe and full one year before US launch.
In that case, GM must be trying to hide the shame of using such inferior engineering. Per GM’s press release, they dare not mention the stigma of being associated with the previous Delta platforms designed by GM Daewoo. One wonders why control was passed to Opel instead.
.
There’s no way the American/Korean compact cars will ever approach the level of quality and bang-for-the-buck that Japanese manufacturers can offer. No wonder the Chinese love to form JV to build Japanese cars. That’s why Corollas are all over the road, and the latest Corolla Premium is even coveted.
> Per GM’s press release, they dare not mention the stigma of being associated with the previous Delta platforms designed by GM Daewoo. One wonders why control was passed to Opel instead.
Nope. Delta-1 was developed by Opel. Delta-2 is developed by GM Daewoo. Delta-1 and Delta-2 have nothing to do with each other, as Delta-2 is much bigger, big enough to underpin 2012 Saab 9-3, a new minivan, and Chevy Volt which is heavy due to its large battery weight.

Gamma-2(Subcompact) : GM Daewoo
Delta-2(Compact) : GM Daewoo
Epsilon-2(Mid-size) : Opel

The single “Somewhere” went to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Singles sales in February. That bodes well for the latest posthumous album plucked from the Hendrix musical vaults, which producers say has stood up well to the test of time.
.
The album arrives with the simultaneous release of newly struck mono vinyl editions of early Hendrix classic albums “Are You Experienced” and “Axis: Bold As Love.”.

Top review with some excellent photos mate thanks again. For me this just says what Thorntons are all about. Flashes of brilliance but never flawless. I don't even know myself what I think would be better. What I have described or just having average quality across the board.
How can they have made an entire selection box of desserts and not have banoffee pie in there? Is it not the most obvious of puds ever to put in a box of chocolates?
Lol I can see myself being disappointed by this because the ones I thought were going to be the best weren't any good.
If you had put this lot infront of me I would have gone nowhere near the summer pudding or the lemon meringue to begin with. I would have started with the creme brulee and then had a double chocolate pot ;) if what you say is true then I would have been in for a swift let down from both. Oh well at least I'm in better knowledge now I've seen your review, thanks love.
Rxxx
Does anyone know if they ever update the flavours you get in these boxes? Its a nice idea but the flavours are crummy.
I've not seen this Thorntons box before is it a new one?
I normally like to try things before I comment on them but this collection does look very appetising. I will try if someone can tell me where to buy it (obviously I need somewhere else other than a thorntons shop. I havent got one near me :( )
You've gone from not touching any thorntons chocolates for ages, to now doing more than any other brand (more than hotel chocolat this yr I think). I don't know whats changed but I think it's a good move mate. Thorntons is one of the brands I see all the time but don't have much expertise on in terms of what is good and what isn't. They have such a tricky range to figure out it's so annoying.
I've not seen a chocolate filled with jelly before that looks wonderful :)
The closest thing you could say was like it is turkish delight but im sure that choc would be far nice than that.
What would one expect to have to pay for this box? It's not one I have seen in the shops before.
They are selling some of the chocolates from this desserts gallery in mini packets now. I bought a 3 pack of the lmeon meringue earlier this week and loved them lol they got eaten all at once. If people want my adivce they should be the first chocolates you go for if you end up sharing one of these big ones.
The last time I bought some over the counter truffles from Thorntons I did get a few of the flavours you got here.
Personally I didn't think that the tiramisu chocolate, which did look a little different I hasten to add, wasn't as bad as you make out here. In the one I got the alcohol came through stronger than you say it did. Lol im guessing you would have just been more concerned about the coffee part of it knowing you :P
The other ones I recognise are the creme brulee and toffee mousse. They couldn't have been that amazing cause I don't remember that much about them. The cherry torte is going to be next on my hitlist. Thanks for the fab review. Have a good weekend.
Dx
Sweet review mate. Loving your photos again. You got me well hungry now you bugger.
Some of these do look well nice. That summer pudding is one of the most unique truffles I have seen for ages. This is way more like the sort of thing I want to see Thorntons make. Stuff the crappy seasonal lot, they should put their focus on this sort of thing.
Thorntons just can't live with HC can they.
Its all about the Hotel Chocolat supremacy. I reckon if you compared all of these side-by-side with the chocs they do then there would only be one winner for every single piece. That would have been such a cool way of doing it. Facing off each chocolate with one another (assuming there are comparable ones).
Is this all of their chocolate selection boxes done now? I swear there is one more you haven't detailed out. It's green and blue coloured and looks well retro. I'm not sure if they still do it. I will check when I go into town later.
I know most people are going to disagree with me but I don't like the mix they have here one bit.
Looking at them I think it's almost as if they had most of these chocolates already made and then realised they had similarities with some desserts. I doubt very much they were specifically created because the mix of dessert types is to random. It's not been thought out at all IMO.
When I saw the title and photos I was sorta expecting a higher score for this one than it got. I think that its one of the selections with the prettiest looking chocolates you have reviewed for a long time. I wish they had made a better go of the ones like the tiramisu and creme brulee. Those are two of my favourite all time desserts.
What a shame I thought this had the real potential to push them into the upper tier of quality. Are you sure the score isn't a little harsh on them Jim? You did give two of the chocolates in there a superb and only one got lower than average.
I wont question your judgement too much. you are the expert ;)
Thornotns never put enough dark chocolates in there boxes I don't think.
Im well aware milk and and white are universally more popular but it would have made sense if they had made like a 'melt in the middle' rich chocolate pudding, or a rich chocolate torte or something.
Where are all the proper british desserts like golden syrup sponge? Spotted dick? Treacle tart? etc etc
They haven't made much in the way of options for us tradiotionalists have they? A british manufacture should have focused more on British tastes. You do have to question why there are things like creme caramel and kirsch torte in there and not any of the ones I just mentioned.
Congrats for another incredible review Jimbo. I love the detail you go into for each chocolate. They always seem so accurate and precise. Have yourself a nice weekend.
Hey J ive just seen your new news page. How do you want us to get in contact if we dig up some news dirt :-) I got a story hot off the press that I want to lay claim for lol. I think you will be excited to hear about it :P
Does anyone know if the bigger dessert gallery boxes have more flavours in?
By the looks of it Jim has reviewed the smallest version of this Dessert Gallery. I would be interested to hear what additional ones you can get in the larger sized packs if there is such a thing.
This would be just perfect for what I need this weekend. Lol my husband and I are going for dinner at a friends and we were told to bring the chocs and wine.
Lol I could take the cheap box of Paynes brazils they gave us last time they came over ours. If I can find these for a reasonable price I will treat them to these though. Only because I fancy them myself :)
Quality post mate I love the photography work here?
What gear/setup do you have in place? Do you do other food photography?
You missed out on the summer desserts gallery Jim.
That was out during the summer (duhhhhhh) and had a few more choccies more like the summer pud and lemon meringue. It's a shame you weren't able to give it a try, I think you would have rated it higher than you did this one.
If they did a full box of the ones with jelly in I would be sold. What an awesome idea.
What would be doubly brill would be if they had different flavoured fruit pudding flavours. Blackcurrant, Lime, Strawberry and Lime. The colours would be amazing and if they could get them right I bet they would taste wonderful.
@Daisy you are going about this the right way girl :)
It's always best if you pick out your mix from the in store counter if you can. Not only are they much fresher chocolates most the time, but you also get to leave out the ones you don't fancy.
The only down side I can think of is that it can be a little pricey. Lol never ask them to gift wrap them for you, they charged me extra last time the swines.
16 chocs for £8 isn't that bad is it.
It hasn't scored the best ever but I consider it next time I have to buy a box for a gift because it looks a lot more premium than the price looks on.
If someone bought me it I would be v impressed. Well, maybe not know I know what its worth but I would have been before reading this lol :) Thanks for the post Jim.
They haven't put in my fave dessert of all time Eton Mess. It would have been good to see if they could have given the hotel chocolate version a run for it's money.
I'm genuinely astonished by the score tbh. I looked at the photos before I peaked at the graph and I was expecting to see like a high 8 or a 9. Reading through the descriptions of each truffle I sorta see the rationale for your rating. Its annoying when things look better than they taste huh?
Lol so in effect you think Thorntons are consistent with their inconsistency :-)
I used to always buy there chocolates if I was buying people gifts but now I know their chocolate isn't always the best I sometimes buy the Lindt selections. You have to try the Lindt Petits Desserts now to see which you think is better.
Classic<Continental<Premiuim<Dessert Gallery
That is my order. I haven't had the newest of the Continental boxes though. I think that might have revamped them since last time I had it.
It's such a shame that can't be more consistent. If they brought their poorer chocolates up to an average standard then it wouldn't reflect half as badly on them would it?
I think it's just the fact that when Thorntons do things badly they tend to make a right old mess of it. I think as long as you expect that you would be alrite buying this.
Jim pal check this out you can buy the flavours you point out as the best in mini packs now. Lol they must know themselves which are the better ones.
Lol you glammed the photos up too much again mate. Its hard to believe that some of these don't taste as nice they look..
This is easily the best looking thorntons box you have reviewed so im a little surprised by the score its got.
Lol I say surprised, but I can still sorta believe it given thorntons previous. I think its a bit of a shame that they commonlly stuff up all their good work with poorer, sloppy rubbish..
I like the look and sound of these! Theres a few in that i wouldnt want like the tiramasu and creme brulee but many of the others sound delicious like the lemon meringue and summer fruit..
this may be the new box:
)
Great pics & review Jim! Am hoping that Thorntons really do pull their socks up (after reading the article on your new news page (which btw is tres cool) re their bid to ‘put spark back in chocs’ x!
Maybe it's my inexperience, but I've never seen a chocolate like the summer fruit pudding before. I'm really interested in that.
Oh dear Jim we thought exactly the opposite..
Will - if you like the look of jelly in chocolate you should check out Zotter's grapefruit bar. It is amazing :).
I know what you mean about the Double Choc Pot Jim, there's ALWAYS one pointless "filler chocolate" in a selection box isn't there.
There are just too many in here that I would be interested in at all.
The kirsch, almond and summer berry pudding aren't my sort of thing at all. It's a shame cause some of the others are ones that I would love to try. The creme brulee has to be better thant standard come on.
That point made about it not having the british puddings is so right.
Bread and butter pud?
Apple crumble?
Treacle sponge?
Rhubarb and custard?
.....shall I go on?
Thorntons if you are reading this! Do a special edition box that just has 'BEST OF BRITISH PUDS'.
Lol that would be such an incredible box of chocolates if it was done well.
Yay, finally a review of these! :D
The Summer Fruit Pudding is certainly the best looking one. And it sounds delicious. I agree with Jen, it would be nice to see a whole box made up of different fruit pudding flavours :D
Has anyone seen that Thorntons ice cream is half price in tesco at the mo? The toffee one is delicious.
Hey All,.
As always I will try and answer all of the questions.....
* @Kim/David - I have no idea if they ever update the flavours. Has someone else had this box before? Were they all the same?
* @Anon The Dessert Gallery box is £7.99 on their website.
* @Estelle - You are talking about their metropolitan box. Search under the Thorntons tag and you will find it :D
* @Ross - I think a score of 7.8 out of 10 is more than reasonable. It's actually pretty good if you compare to the others.
* @Matt - Yeh I think that could have been a nice direction to take the box down. A set of British themed puddings could be done as a limited edition or something couldn't it.
* @Lisa - If you have any news articles just posted them in a comment on the news page. I will update it as and when I can.
* @Linda - Dinner parties are an ideal occasion for these.
* @Shane - I will get back to you on the photography stuff. I got my old man to help me out so I have no idea what camera he uses.
* @Hazel - Apologies I do try to complete every request I can.
* @Jen - That mixed jelly collection sounds like a very nice one. Perhaps it would be best suited to summer though.
* @Richard - Are you feeling ok chap? It seems that you might have come down with something :D You sure you are ok with the price?
* @Katie - Consistent at inconsistency haha I like the way you have phrased that.
* @Nathan - Thanks for the link share.
*
* @Roxy - Thanks for the news page thumbs up .... getting going there people! I'm glad you liked the melting hearts, the bad news is they are gone now :( .... the good news is they have been replaced by the Easter filled eggs :D
* @Linz - I might just check that out myself :D
*
* @Andrew - As I said above the British pudding idea is a very good one. I too would love to see someone try create some special chocolates like that. You would have thought it had been done before mind you.
* @Ana - I'm glad I finally came good on my promise to review them for you :D
* @Ganesh - No I hadn't. Thanks for sharing that with everyone though.
Thanks all - 7Days of ChocolateReviews tomorrow. If you have any news stories be sure to check out the new News page which is live and running

JIM
Geeze I think you have definitely underrated these if they were only 8 quid.
Ages ago I got given on of these boxes as a gift from work. I thought they were pretty good tbh. I would have thought they were nearer the £15 mark.
Toffee Mousse ftw. I would get rid of the kirsch, summer pudding and lemon cause I don't like fruit chocolates.
I see thorntons are back in favour then :) I swear you said not long ago that you refused to review anything from them.
A few of the ones here could be good but for the most part they aren't my thing. Quite why everyone is going gaga over the jelly chocolate I don't know. Wouldn't it be the cheapest to produce?
Cool review mate. The guys are right about the photos, you yet again make the chocs look so appetizing.
I think the guys have the right idea about it needing more British puds. The ones they chose are a little cosmopolitan.
Cheers
N
I thought that although some of these chocs were more successful than others as far as taste goes, it really should have got 10/10 for presentation.
It's an ideal box to turn up with when visiting friends, inlaws, etc. It's novel, interesting and people will really want to try them. It does look like a box of chocs that you put some effort into selecting.
I'm not sure I agree with 10 for presentation. Lol some of them look nice but I don't think should get the maximum cause there are some boring ones in there to.
Jim Hazel is right btw, the summer dessert gallery was even nicer than this one is. If you ever see it again this year I would urge to review it please.

By reprogramming a 7-year-old girl’s own immune cells to attack an aggressive form of childhood leukemia, a pediatric oncologist has achieved a complete response in his patient, who faced grim prospects when she relapsed after conventional treatment. The innovative experimental therapy used bioengineered T cells, custom-designed to multiply rapidly in the patient, and then destroy leukemia cells. After the treatment, the child’s doctors found that she had no evidence of cancer.
Pediatric oncologist Stephan A. Grupp, MD, PhD,, MD, of the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, leads this research group, which along with Grupp’s, MD,..

More than a year ago I wrote an article about Xen on Ubuntu Intrepid with the intention of blaming Ubuntu. I also clearly said, that I wouldn’t use Ubuntu anymore. This article turned out to be the most hit one on my blog. Maybe because the Ubuntu community directly links to it. Then, last Summer I wrote an article about alternatives to Xen, but I decided to wait and stay with Xen on my homeserver in the meantime. (Please keep in mind, all I use this for is for my private setups!). Last week I upgraded my Server’s hardware and also wanted to re-install it.
Xen still hasn’t made it into vanilla Kernel, it might make it into 2.6.34 or .35, but even if it does, I think it’s not even going to be close to being production ready. Plus most distributions release their next version in the next weeks/months and are already frozen, so they definitely will not ship with Xen. Well, the only real alternative is KVM. I didn’t like the idea of using KVM for a long time, but since almost every distribution now features KVM as their virtualization technique, I went with it. I also went with Ubuntu again (yeah blame me!). Why? Because their next release has long-term support, and I won’t have the time to upgrade it in the next 12-18 months. And what shall I say… I like it. Installation was kinda tricky on a software Raid0, but I was installing a development release, 1 week before the first Beta… and in the end it did work.
The server runs KVM now and it runs fast and stable. I have 4 virtual machines on it now. Installation of the guests using virt-installer and/or ubuntu-vm-builder was much easier and ended up with working VMs out of the box, whereas xen-create-image ended up with an unusable image on Intrepid, because the default console never showed up without tweaks. libvirt is also nice if you need it, but I really want to point out, that you can run KVM without libvirt just with the ‘kvm’ command!
I tagged this article ‘How-To’, but there are already many good KVM guides out there so I won’t write yet another one. I’ll just post a few hints to get KVM running with a bridged networking using libvirt.
First of all I removed /etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/default.xml to disable the dnsmasq features of libvirt. Then I created an LVM volume group where I wanted to place my machines at, but you can also use simple images on your filesystem. The next thing I did was setting up a bridge in /etc/network/interfaces:
You can now simply create your virtual machine with this command:
Now connect to your host using VNC and install as usual. Another way is to use ‘ubuntu-vm-builder’, but I simply didn’t try… Make sure you limit VNC access to localhost in /etc/libvirt/qemu/$hostname.xml after installation if your network is unsecure.
To make your domain autostart on boot use:
This will copy the appropriate xml configuration file to /etc/libvirt/qemu/autostart/.
It’s as simple as that. Way easier than patching a kernel for Xen and all these things. I would have really loved to see Xen in vanilla Kernel a year ago or so, but it didn’t happen and KVM works well enough for me by now… plus you have the benefit of a working power-management.
Take care.

That is a very interesting post, really. Just the only thing, I was looking for more details on the actual commands to build a guest.
But glad you like KVM ; )
2010/05/08
Well, actually I found the available docs, manpages and other blog posts good enough, that I didn’t want to create a simple duplicate.
2010/06/08
I would like to give kudos for this short but direct how to. Made my day which has been filled with endless tutorials and bad walkthroughs regarding Xen Hypervisor and Kernel Boot. I’m using Ubuntu 10.04 and I’m currently installing win7 on a virtual machine. Thanks! and have a good one!
2010/06/08
You’re welcome
2011/01/15
I’m sure KVM is great but unless you have a new CPU with Virtualisaion support (i.e. if your running old hardware/server) It wont work!
Correct me if i’m wrong?
2011/01/15
No, you’re right. BUT every CPU less than 5 years old should have virtualization support built in!
2013/04/10
TBH, I’m not too upset to see the back of Xen in RHEL.Whilst it works most of the time, I’ve seen far too many bugs over time, particularly on the i386 plfroatm vs the x86_64 plfroatm.KVM is far nicer and most robust from what I’ve seen so far and hardware with virtualisation capabilities is becoming more and more common.

A popular snack food is the target of school districts in several states over accusations that the snack is hazardous for kids to eat.
School districts in California and New Mexico are attempting to ban the popular snack food Flamin' Hot Cheetos over concerns that the snack is extremely unhealthy for kids.
School officials claim that the snack has a minuscule amount of nutritional value and should not be offered to kids while they are in school.
The problem school officials state is that the one bag of chips contains four servings, and are concerned that kids would eat the entire bag not knowing the actual amount of fat and calories they are consuming.
One bag of Cheetos contains 44 grams of fat and nearly 700 calories.
One school district in Illinois used to sell about 150,000 bags each year, but deicided to stop providing the chips and have already taken the snack off its menu, according to reports from ABC.
"If children were to bring in snacks that are high in fat, high in calories, that's their choice," Rockford School District Interim Superintendent Robert Willis told KTLA. "We're not going to be providing those kinds of foods."
The amount of fat and calories is close to, if not more than, what new USDA school lunch guidelines call for. For example, kids in kindergarten through fifth grade are allowed a maximum of up to 650 calories, children in sixth through eighth grade are allowed 700 calories and the caloric intake for high school kids is capped at 850.
"I ate them every day, even for breakfast, and I got really big. There were days when, if my mother didn't buy them for me, I would get so mad. … It took me three months to quit." Lake View High School senior Abigail Hernandez told the Chicago Tribune.

"Sacramental authority is not to be construed as endowing certain persons with the ability to dispense grace
The United Methodist Church addressed issues of sacramental authority within the denomination during their annual January symposium.
"Sacramental authority is not to be construed as endowing certain persons with the ability to dispense grace," said Sarah Heaner Lancaster, a professor at Methodist Theological School in Ohio.
Currently, the UMC has two types of clergy elders and permanent deacons, and two sacraments baptism and Holy Communion. Questions over who should administer those sacraments arose in the 1996 conference. Since then, the administration wrestled over the issue and has struggled to address the clear meaning of ordination.
"Even though we will always need to have ordained people, we do not yet have a clear understanding of how these orders relate to one another," said the Rev. Jerome King Del Pino, top staff executive at the United Methodist Board of Higher Education and Ministry in Nashville. "One of the tensions is in who is authorized to do what." Do deacons and local pastors have authority to administer the sacraments as elders do?
Referring to the Book of Discipline, Lancaster said the church has structured itself to give elders the specific responsibility of administering the sacraments while deacons may assist at the request of the elder.
Lancaster stressed that the roles of deacons and elders are "overlapping, distinct and complementary." They overlap because all Christians are called to proclaim and teach the gospel in some way and to perform acts of service, she said.
Deacons, she said, represent the denomination through a lifetime of service to the world. Elders do the same but with added responsibilities, including administering the sacraments.
Other issues discussed during the symposium included characteristics of ordination, focusing on authority relating to word, service, sacrament and order. The group also briefly discussed the need to be vital for the future and faithful to the past, and the relationship between the church's understanding of its ordered ministry and its understanding as a part of the body of Christ.
Throughout the symposium, speakers emphasized that the church has undergone a significant change over the years in its understanding of ordained ministry and who is eligible to serve as a pastor in the church.
Setting apart people for ordained ministry in American Methodism has always been controversial, said Richard Heitzenrater, a professor at United Methodist-related Duke Divinity School, Durham, N.C. The debate about ordination reflects the differences in opinion about the nature of the church, he said.
Heitzenrater also asserted that a new model must be created to answer the questions of todays ministry.
"We must constantly adapt to new situations while we hold fast to the basic principles that define us as a part of the body of Christ, said Heitzenrater.
The Rev. M. Douglas Meeks, a professor at Vanderbilt Divinity School, said discussions about the past, present and future of ordained ministry have been ongoing for nearly 25 years.
"What we are trying to do with the symposiums and upcoming conversations is take seriously what ordination has meant in the tradition and what it means today, said Meeks.
The Rev. Mary Ann Moman, staff executive in the denomination's Division of Ordained Ministry, expressed optimism about the future of ordained ministry.
"I am hopeful," she said, "because the church is longing for leaders who will ask the questions of faith, who are not afraid of the ambiguity that exists in our living, who desire to live in community, who trust their colleagues to hold them accountable, and who can leave room for the spirit to blow through the church."
The January symposium was the first of a series of such events planned by the UMC board of administration to address the issue of ordination and sacraments.

December Celebrations – Beyond ChristmasSunday, April 10th, 2011
December is the time for festive celebrations. Of course, most of us excitedly look forward to digging into our traditional Christmas Roast Turkey or Prime Ribs. But why not invite friends to something a little different in honor of multiculturalism, and begin some new traditions. Here are some other celebrations (along with their great menus) [...]

New York Times
May 12, 2005
WASHINGTON, May 12 - John R. Bolton suffered a setback in his quest to become ambassador to the United Nations today when the Senate Foreign Relations Committee declined to recommend him even as it voted to send the nomination to the full Senate for consideration.
The 10-to-8 vote to send Mr. Bolton's name to the chamber, but absent an endorsement, means he will get a "yes or no" vote by the Senate. And since Republicans have 55 seats, Mr. Bolton has a good chance to be confirmed, provided there is no more erosion of support among Republicans.
The lack of a committee endorsement became inevitable after a key Republican member, Senator George V. Voinovich of Ohio, said he would vote against the nomination because the United States "can do better." Mr. Bolton's critics have complained of his hard-driving personal style as an under secretary of state. Some critics have accused him of pressuring intelligence analysts to tweak their findings to suit his biases.
The committee chairman, Senator Richard G. Lugar, Republican of Indiana, had predicted a 10-to-8 vote endorsing Mr. Bolton. But Mr. Voinovich's defection this morning raised the prospect of a deadlock that would have kept the nomination bottled up in the committee.
Mr. Lugar then brokered a deal in which the committee's Republicans agreed to send Mr. Bolton's name to the full Senate with no recommendation. The panel's eight Democrats remained united in opposing his nomination.
"It is my opinion that John Bolton is the poster child of what someone in the diplomatic corps should not be," Senator Voinovich said. But Mr. Bolton still has the support of the White House. He also has numbers on his side: he needs only 50 votes to prevail, since a Senate tie would be broken by Vice President Dick Cheney.
Mr. Voinovich said he was convinced that a vote for Mr. Bolton, whose detractors have described him as a head-strong bully, would send exactly the wrong signal to the thousands of Americans working in the State Department in the United States and abroad.
While the lack of a committee endorsement is an embarrassment for Mr. Bolton, it is not as serious as a committee vote against him would have been. A vote against him would not necessarily have blocked a vote in the full Senate, but there would have been more serious procedural obstacles to overcome.
Three other Republicans on the Foreign Relations Committee have also expressed reservations about the nominee. One of the three, Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, said today that Mr. Bolton had made "inflammatory" remarks about North Korea. Still, she said, she favored sending the nomination to the floor.
Mr. Voinovich, when asked outside the hearing room if he thought other Republicans would vote against the nominee, replied, "We'll see." During the hearing, Mr. Voinovich said President Bush and Mr. Bolton deserved to have a yes-or-no vote. The senator even said he liked Mr. Bolton personally. "I think he's a decent man," Mr. Voinovich said.
The concern now for Mr. Bolton and the White House is that the lack of committee backing will cause more Republican senators to have second thoughts about the nominee. Democratic senators have assailed the nomination, noting that Mr. Bolton has spoken disparagingly about the United Nations.
Senator Paul S. Sarbanes, Democrat of Maryland and a committee member, said Mr. Bolton's comments showed "outright hostility" for the international organization. "To send someone as our ambassador to the United Nations who does not demonstrate a basic respect for the institution and its legal foundation is a disservice to our national interest," Mr. Sarbanes said.
But a Republican panel member, Senator George Allen of Virginia, offered an opposite view. He said the need for reform at the institution was obvious. "I think the American people want someone at the United Nations who pushes strongly for reform and is not going to be seduced by flowery, evasive pontifications from those bureaucrats," Mr. Allen said.
Senator Voinovich said Mr. Bolton had "serious deficiencies" that would make him the wrong man for the United Nations post, and that his difficult personality would have got him "fired - fired - if he worked for a major corporation."
Senators Chuck Hagel of Nebraska and Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island, both Republican committee members, have also expressed reservations about Mr. Bolton. The other Republicans on the panel are Senators Norm Coleman of Minnesota, Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, John E. Sununu of New Hampshire and Mel Martinez of Florida.
The committee Democrats who remained united in their opposition are Senators Joseph R. Biden Jr. of Delaware, the ranking minority member; Christopher J. Dodd of Connecticut; John F. Kerry of Massachusetts; Russell D. Feingold of Wisconsin; Barbara Boxer of California; Bill Nelson of Florida; Barack Obama of Illinois; and Mr. Sarbanes.

Just curious - how many of you are NOT looking forward to Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow? Let's commiserate...
We were supposed to have it at our new house this year. We started planning this over the summer when we were with SIL and MIL. We've been married a few years now and haven't had a big enough house before to host a proper dinner. SIL and family haven't come to anything at our house to speak of. Our little girl was super excited to have it at our house.
Two weeks ago, I emailed (neither return phone calls well) and asked if they had anything they'd like to have/bring - that I was planning on doing turkey, etc. MIL replies that SIL was having it at her house, had invited her inlaws, etc. Hubby just asked me to go with it. So I did. Asked what I could bring. No reply. Finally saw MIL (went to her house) and asked if she knew - evidently they've got everything. Bring whatever. Really? If I bring pumpkin pie, and there are five others, what's the point?
So, we'll trek to her house, spend a few hours eating dry turkey, getting ignored by everyone and then come home. Joy. I'm planning to take something to drink.
Not so much. I lost my job very unexpectedly (company just closed) a little over a week ago. It's putting me into a terrible financial strain (the company didn't file correctly for unemployment, so there's a delay on the checks... I'm frantically job hunting with no real success yet...), and with it being just before the holidays, I'm just not in the mood. This was my first "real" job and I loved it.
Anyway, I had agreed to take some petsitting jobs over Thanksgiving because I had to work the day before and after. Planned to go home to see my family (4+ hour drive) on the weekend. Well, lo and behold, now I no longer have that job and could totally have gone home for Thanksgiving. Trying to be grateful for the income that the petsitting will bring, though.
Luckily I have 2 phenomenal friends (one a previous college professor of mine) who have invited me to have Thanksgiving with their family. But, I'm just feeling so down right now, trying to process everything and having spent ridiculous amounts of time on a job hunt/application process that I still can't quite believe I have to go through again. It's taking a huge toll on me emotionally.
But normally I like Thanksgiving quite a bit. I hope that other COTHers are having a better time of it than I am this year!
Reviews of equine-related books:
Your husband should have nailed his bitch of a mother and sister over the insulting way they treated you and your family. "Just go with it" is great for a mommy-whipped little boy.
i suggest starting your own family Thanksgiving holiday tradition...invite friends over who may not have local family to spend the holiday with and have a great time. Why would you ever want to spend time with these two cows who don't respect you or your loved ones...and give your husband a good slap, he needs it and should remember YOU and your daughter are his family, his mother and sister are relatives....Family is more important.
Good luck, stay home, have fun, screw the evil cows.

Most definitely - have the holiday you want. Celebrate with people who make you feel celebratory!
I am riding in the morning, then headed to my oldest brother's huge Thanksgiving get together. It's always dozens of happy people, amazing food, pure chaos and fun. I can't wait.
Alt Route, I'd stay home. Look DH in the eye with a big bright smile and tell him you feel like you caught something contagious and you're staying home. If he's used to being bossed around by them he'll take just fine to being bossed around by you. Tell them you wouldn't want to make them all sick with whatever it is you're coming down with and make the best dang Thanksgiving imaginable in your new house. Do that for your kid and yourself; DH will be glad to have the peaceful spot to go that day, and who can argue with illness.
I have inlaws just like that and what I should have done years ago was put up good fences. I went to many a family function when I was ticked off on the inside and it rarely turned out well. Do your own thing. Be polite and join in when you can but make sure you have a fun happy home to fall back on.
I'm not looking forward to it, or cringing. It's going to be like most other days. DH is a vegetarian and he actively dislikes "turkey day." So actively against it that we will never get invited to anyone's house. He can't see past it to feel thankful about anything at all. Son is autistic, and he does not "get" holidays. Can't understand why anyone would want to celebrate anything. Very strange, but we are used to it. I just tell people we have a quiet family Thanksgiving, and that's kind of the truth. I do feel thankful for my family, friends, health and horses, but I miss the big meal with family. An option would be to cook a vegetarian Thanksgiving dinner, but that's a lot of work. DH wouldn't help, and kid wouldn't eat it.
And to the OP, it's time to start your new family tradition. Stay home!
It's 2013. Do you know where your old horse is?
Not, first time ever. Unnecessary, stupid, family drama, relatives who aren't mine and who I don't care for coming, etc... Oh well, it will be a few hours and then I can head back home and be with those I enjoy. Mom is staying with us tomorrow night, so I'll have all my favorite people (and animals) except my young adult son who lives 1/2 way across the country and won't be home until Christmas.
Alt route: I do understand. My MIL took over our wedding and made a scene because it was not a catholic wedding. She and my FIL refused to hang our wedding pictures we sent them for that reason. My FIL has passed and my MIL is now suffering dementia, really they live 3000 miles away and although we don't get together much, it is always an ordeal when we do. I would start your own holiday tradition, maybe just show up there for pie.
Pony4me- I understand your husband. Your son is likely enjoying more than he can articulate in his life.
I live many miles away from my family and Mr. Stolen's for good reason. We celebrate Thanksgiving with friends. I enjoy our friends much more than my family. That said I bake 3 apple pies and broccoli gratin every Thanksgiving morning and Mr. Stolen feeds the horses their buckets and reintroduces himself to them, he only does this on Thanksgiving.
I hope everyone can find their own peace and joy this holiday ! We sometimes have to seek this out in our lives.
I'd recommend vodka. Clear in whatever you mix it with, little to no odor, works well against stupid in-laws. - Blanket Cleaning & Repair

OP, time to learn to say to the outlaws, I'm sorry, we've already made plans. We'll have to catch up with you next time. (I should have learned this early on. It wasn't until the bad behavior began to impact my adult children that I finally took a stand. My life was much better after that.)
Ugh! Not looking forward to Thanksgiving at all. I hate the traveling, everyone trying their damnedest to get you to overstuff yourself, the yelling at the football game, the small talk, blech.
I'm stuck driving so I can't even inebriate my way through it.
chaque pas est fait ensemble
My plans for tomorrow consist of the following:
1. Host my 1st annual 5k Turkey Trot at my house. I will be the only runner, so I get top prize!
2. Walk the dogs because tired dogs are happy dogs.
3. Surf COTH off topic day & grade a smattering of student essays (stupid me for assigning an essay due before a holiday break)
4. Read and/or channel surf
5. Let my DH figure out what we are having for dinner. If Domino's is open, I have a coupon!

Talk to me about fitness or nutrition (I'm an A.C.E. Certified Personal Trainer)!
My blog!
Honestly, I'd just like it to be over. I am unable to make the trip home to be with my family since I'm stationed across the country from them, so I'm trying to start new traditions like a big mish mash of food with friends. I have 28 days until I get to go home for Christmas, and I just want the time to pass until it's time for that.
I made my Mother's apple pie tonight and I'll admit it's been an emotional week, and I ended up in tears when my crust started falling apart.
I was also supposed to get test results back today about possibly having mono, but apparently everyone left early so I get to wait until monday.
Riding with my newly widowed mother tomorrow in hopes it will take the sting out of her first holiday "alone". For the last two decades, since my parents' divorce and subsequent remarrying, the big Thanksgiving dinners have always been held at my father's house. His wife has children (adults now with their own broods), mom's now-deceased husband had none. As a result sis and I always spent holidays at dad's while mom and hubby enjoyed alone time, a tradition that continued into our adulthood.
Mom's family is batsh!t crazy and she doesn't want to deal with the drama-fest holiday dinners turn into with them so we're going to load up the horses early in the morning and go out for an all-day ride.
After the ride my father and his wife have ever-so-graciously asked me to bring mom by for a visit and some turkey. Step-siblings, spouses and kids will all be there of course. All of dad's family (5 sisters with hubbies plus mom and countless cousins/kids etc) will also be there. There were some strained relations between the sisters and mom during the divorce but since that is decades behind them we're hoping all will go well. I asked step-mom tonight what if...she said if anyone has a problem with my mom being there to hell with them.
With step-mom welcoming mom into her home on Thanksgiving I have a feeling it will be a great meal. Everyone respects her so I'm sure there will be no cross words from anyone.
Afterwards it's back to mom's where we're going to grill a prime rib with green beans, twice-baked potatoes and white chocolate creme brulee. Not traditional Thanksgiving fare but it seems appropriate since this Thanksgiving is about breaking tradition and moving forward with her life.
It'll be tough on her with the still-fresh loss weighing on her mind but I hope with the trail ride, the loving support of my dad, step-siblings and especially my step-mom plus an awesome meal prepared by her personal chef (moi) we can get her through it!

Luke: Wow. I love Jesus' teaching in Luke chapter 17 verses 20 & 21 - "Jesus replied, "The Kingdom of God isn't ushered in with visible signs. You won't be able to say, `Here it is!' or `It's over there!' For the Kingdom of God is among you."" And truly, of course, literally the Kingdom of God was amongst those Jesus was speaking to with this verse - Jesus himself was there. But, also the Kingdom of God is still amongst us today. Jesus has risen from the dead. He lives in the hearts of men and women. We do not need to look for visible signs to which we can say - here it is! Truly, the Kingdom of God can be within you. And once the Kingdom of God is within you it is amazing to see how Jesus can transform your life and those around you through his peace, grace and power. Is the Kingdom of God among you?

Compared: Bushnell Banner, Bushnell Elite 3200, Leupold VX-II and Simmons AETEC
By Chuck Hawks
The specific models compared here are the Bushnell Banner 4-12x40mm AO, Bushnell Elite 3200 5-15x40mm AO, Leupold VX-II 3-9x33mm EFR Compact, and Simmons AETEC 3.8-12x44mm AO. These scopes were mounted on .17 HMR varmint rifles from Marlin (2), Savage, and Ruger for a Guns and Shooting Online varmint rifle comparison. This scope comparison grew out of that project. Each scope was evaluated by four G&S Online shooters (Technical Assistants Jim Fleck, Bob Fleck, Nathan Rauzon, and yours truly).
These scopes have several factors in common. All four are built on 1" tubes and are alleged to be waterproof and shockproof. They offer eye relief adequate for centerfire rifles. All four scopes are supplied with some sort of "plex" reticle, a real Duplex in the case of the VX-II (Leupold invented the type) and a knock-off of the Duplex in the others. They all have a front focusing adjustable objective (AO) to eliminate parallax, and the range figures seem to be accurate as marked. The adjustable objectives all worked correctly. Each scope comes with some sort of fast focus eyepiece. Lens caps were supplied with all but the Leupold (a strange oversight for the most expensive scope in the comparison).
Various mounting systems were used, depending on what was provided with the particular test rifle. All of the scope mounts worked fine during our testing. Brief comments about each scope follow. Full length reviews of each can be found on the G&S Online Product Review Page.
Bushnell Banner 4-12x40mm AO
One of our two Marlin 917VS test rifles ("Marlin B") was fitted with a Bushnell Banner 4-12x40mm AO scope. This is the least expensive scope in the review, but it proved to be a satisfactory choice for a .17 HMR varmint rifle. The Banner was mounted directly to the rifle's tip off mount grooves by means of high Millet rings.
It features a one-piece tube, 1/4 MOA fingertip windage and elevation adjustments, fast focus eyepiece, standard Multi-X reticle, and a matte black finish. This scope's AO features an extended focus range, making it suitable for air rifles and rimfire rifles that may be used at short range, as well as long range hunting and varmint rifles.
Here are the Banner's basic specifications from the 2005 Bushnell catalog:
The Banner's optics are acceptable, but do not equal the contrast and resolution of the other (more expensive) scopes. Nor is flare as well controlled. Eye position is fairly critical if the shooter is to prevent the scope "winking" at the shooter.
The reticle is a little finer and seems to subtend a little less of the target than the AETEC reticle, which is a positive feature for a scope used on a varmint rifle. The windage and elevation adjustments worked with reasonable accuracy; it was not difficult to sight-in the rifle wearing this scope.
Remember that the Bushnell Banner is the least expensive scope in this comparison by a considerable margin. Altogether, it gave good performance for its modest price, and I would recommend it to anyone operating on a tight budget.
Simmons AETEC 3.8-12x44mm AO
Our second Marlin 917VS test rifle ("Marlin A") was equipped with a Simmons AETEC 3.8-12x44mm AO scope in high Millet scope rings that clamped directly to the tip-off scope mount grooves in the Marlin's receiver. The Simmons AETEC line features aspherical lenses to maximize sharpness and minimize aberrations, a real optical advantage. This model boasts a wide field of view, long eye relief, fully multi-coated optics, 1/4 MOA fingertip windage and elevation adjustments, fast eyepiece focus, Truplex reticle, and a matte black finish. A lens hood is included.
Here are the AETEC's basic specifications from the Simmons 2005 catalog:
The AETEC's fingertip windage and elevation adjustments are convenient and satisfactorily accurate, although not perfect (very few hunting scopes are). All controls on this scope work smoothly and properly, equal to those of more expensive scopes. This is the heaviest, although not the most powerful, scope in the comparison.
We found the view through the AETEC to be crisp and clear. Everyone praised this scope's optical quality. Its performance was on a par with the much more expensive Bushnell Elite 3200. My only suggestion is that I wish it were available with an (optional) fine reticle, as the standard version is a little bit heavy for a varmint scope. This is a big game reticle. Never the less, it served satisfactorily on the Marlin .17 HMR rifle.
Bushnell Elite 3200 5-15x40mm AO
Roughly twice the price of the AETEC and three times the price of the Banner (based on the 2005 MSRP) is the Bushnell Elite 3200 5-15x40mm AO scope, which was mounted on a Ruger 77/17VMBBZ rifle using the supplied Ruger scope rings.
This upscale Bushnell model features a one-piece tube, fully multi-coated/Rainguard optics, 1/4 MOA fingertip adjustments, standard Multi-X reticle, 91% total light transmission, fast focus eyepiece, and a matte black finish. It boasts an extended AO focus range of 10 yards to infinity. A lens hood is included.
Here are the Elite 3200's basic specifications from the 2005 Bushnell catalog:
The Elite 3200's fully multi-coated optics suppress flare well. The proprietary Rainguard coating on the front and rear lens surfaces is advertised to reduce the size of water droplets adhering to the surface of the elements, thus clarifying the view in rain and fog. Excessive moisture did not become a factor during our shooting trials, so the Rainguard feature was not put to the test.
The view through this scope was sharp and clear with good contrast, as good as any of the other scopes and noticeably better than the Banner. The relatively long eye relief is appreciated. Field curvature at the edge seemed better controlled than in the AETEC. The Elite 3200's price is justified by its performance.
Leupold VX-II 3-9x33mm EFR Compact
The most expensive of our four scopes (by about $15), and also the smallest, is the Leupold VX-II 3-9x33mm EFR Compact. The Leupold is marketed as a rimfire scope, although I also tested it on a .223 centerfire rifle and it performed just fine. EFR means, "extended focus range." The scope's adjustable objective focuses from infinity to 10 meters, which makes it especially suitable for use on rimfire rifles and air rifles. In addittion to EFR, this premium scope boasts Leupold's Multi-Coat 4 fully multi-coated optics, 1/4 MOA coin adjustments, fine Duplex reticle, locking fast focus eyepiece, and a matte black finish.
Here are the Leupold VX-II's basic specifications from the 2005 Leupold catalog:
Although less powerful than the other scopes, the Leupold's sharp, contrasty optics are second to none. Flare and optical aberrations are well controlled. And the fine Duplex reticle subtends less of the target, allowing greater aiming precision. This is the best reticle of the bunch for a scope used on a varmint rifle.
We mounted this scope on a Savage 93R17-BVSS, the shortest and lightest of our .17 HMR rifles, as it perfectly complemented that rifle's smaller size. Weaver rings were used to clamp the scope to the Weaver bases mounted on the rifle at the Savage factory.
The Leupold's coin slot windage and elevation adjustment dials are less convenient than the finger tip adjustments of the other scopes. On the other hand, the Leupold's adjustment turrets are lower as a result. In any case, the Leupold's adjustments were very accurate in operation. If I remember correctly it took only 2 shots at 25 yards and three shots at 100 yards to zero-in this rifle/scope combination.
The adjustable objective and zoom rings on the Leupold required more effort to turn than the other scopes' controls. This is typical of Leupold scopes, not something unique to this particular model. Apparently Leupold wants to eliminate the possibility of a ring being inadvertently moved. For the same reason, the Leupold's fast focus eyepiece has a locking ring, the only scope in this comparison that does. Leupold scopes are designed to withstand hard hunting.
To be fair to the Leupold, we compared the view through all four scopes when set at 9x. I very much liked the view through this compact Leupold scope. When combined with its more precise reticle, I felt that the Leupold was the easiest scope to aim precisely. This is fine performance for the smallest scope with the smallest front objective lens in the comparison.
Summary and Conclusion
In summation, all four scopes did what they were supposed to do without any problems or malfunctions. Each proved to be a good value for the money, with the most expensive models providing the most precision and the best performance, as they should.
Perhaps the standout in a subjective price/performance calculation would be the Simmons AETEC. It is a moderately priced scope with big time optical performance.
Note: Full length reviews of these scopes can be found on the Product Reviews page.

The Word of God, the Bible, is like no other book:
And although many may not have fully comprehended it, they still have had to acknowledge the value, power, authority, and Divine inspiration that has authored and preserved the Bible:
Abraham Lincoln: "I believe the Bible is the best gift God has ever given to man. All the good from the Saviour of the world is communicated to us thru this book."
George Washington: "It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible."
Napoleon: "The Bible is no mere book, but a Living Creature, with a power that conquers all that oppose it." prosperity neglect its instructions and authority, no man can tell how sudden a catastrophe may overwhelm us and bury all our glory in profound obscurity."."
Ferrar Fenton: "In the Hebro-Christian Scriptures we have the only key that unlocks the Mystery of the Universe to Man, and the Mystery of Man to Himself."."
Lord Tennyson: "Bible reading is an education in itself."
Horace Greeley: "It is impossible to enslave mentally or socially a Bible-reading people. The principles of the Bible are the ground-work of human freedom." thru the Bible once every year."
Immanuel K the confirming more and more strongly the truths contained in the Sacred Scriptures."
Sir Issac Newton: "There are more sure marks of authenticity in the Bible than in any profane history."
Goethe: "Let mental culture go to advancing, let the natural sciences progress in ever greater extent and depth, and the human mind widen itself as much as it desires; beyond the elevation and moral culture of Christianity, as it shines forth in the Gospels, it will not go."
William McGuffey, compiler of the McGuffey's Readers - early American textbooks: "For the copious extracts made from the Sacred Scriptures, he." "The Bible is the only book in the world treating of ethics and religion, which is not sectarian. Every sect claims that book as authority for its peculiar views."
The Bible is not sectarian. It does not belong to any religion. The Bible belongs to God - it is His Word and no one else's. No one has a privilege to modify, take away from or add to it, and all who do bring the judgements within it upon themselves. God's Word never changes, nor does his opinion about how he feels about it. Contained in his Word is a multitude of long-suffering and mercy to change any heart, so there is no excuse for anyone not reading, understanding, and obeying his Word.

Guide for the Lighting of Sports Events for Colour Television and Film Systems (2nd edition)
CIE 083-1989
ISBN 978 3 900734 20 6
The present Guide is an extended and revised edition of CIE 028-1975 The lighting of sports events for colour TV broadcasting.
The recording, transmission and reproduction of sporting action has expanded rapidly in recent years. The number of different sports covered has increased and indeed many sports have increased in popularity as a result of TV exposure. To a greater extent, also, television and film are operating under artificial lighting: outdoor sports are being played in the evenings under floodlights and more indoor sports are attracting the attention of television.
The electronic television camera and associated video recording is now the principal medium of the cameraman. This report therefore, concentrates on the lighting requirements for colour television, but indicates where these requirements will differ for film recordings. The aim of this report is to give a broad survey of the technical characteristics of the television and film reproduction process and explain why different lighting levels are needed for different sports and for different camera situations.
Detailed quantitative guidance is given on the quality aspects to be fulfilled for colour television and colour film coverage of a wide variety of sports events. The quality aspects dealt with are:
- vertical illuminance level and uniformity,
- relation between horizontal and vertical illuminance,
- uniformity of horizontal illuminance,
- flicker,
- colour temperature and colour rendering of the lighting and finally
- light level on the surrounding spectators areas.
As an addition to the present Guide, TC 5-11 is preparing a Technical Report giving a comprehensive guide to the lay-out of sports lighting installations that fulfill the quality requirements specified in the present Publication.
The present Guide contains 19 pages, 3 figures and 2 tables.
The following members of TC 5-05 took part in the preparation of this technical report:
- W.J.M. van Bommel, The Netherlands
- R.A. Hargroves, Great Britain
- J. Horváth, Hungary
- A. Kaufmann, Germany (BRD)

[ATTENTION: This review reveals content of the movie.]
How do you translate an important subject into a movie? I don't think something like 'Pearl Harbour' is the answer. There are dogfight scenes which did not convince me. And a romance involving a daredevil pilot that seems can do nothing wrong - I suppose that's the hook for male teenagers. But most of the time no real drama or depth.

Monster cookies are an amalgam of oats, peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies with an assortment of nuts, candy and raisins thrown into the mix. All the stuff cookie monsters dream of.
I wonder if the cute, fuzzy cookie monster inspired the name or if they were named so because they are a monstrosity in and of themselves?! I like to think it’s a little of both.
I found two types of recipes for monster cookies; flourless and with flour. I made both. The flourless turn out flat and more on the crunchy side. My preference was for the soft, chewy, chunky, floury ones. They are far more fitting and deserving of the monster name.
Use any assortment and combination of candy, nuts or flavored chips: 3 and 1/2 cups worth. With this versatility the possibilities for flavors are endless. These have peanut m&m’s, chocolate chips and caramel pieces. What would go in your monster mix?

Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine peanut butter, butter, sugars and salt, beat until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in baking soda and vanilla. Stir in oats, M&M’s, chocolate chips and caramel. Let stand for 10 minutes. Stir in flour.
- Shape scant 1/4 cupfuls into balls. Place on greased baking sheets and gently flatten cookies. Bake at 325° for about 15 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool on wire racks.

Have you considered how valuable Google+ can be for researching the things that interest you?
I noticed recently that I've been going "Into the Plus" more and more when I'm trying to find an answer on something...probably because I'm able to find folks that know what they're talking about (the ultimate time-saver!)
I'm finding Communities and Hangouts especially useful lately

This info is perfect for the beginner but I'll bet even the most seasoned G+Pluser will pick up a tip or two! (his "View Ripples" tip alone is worth the read)
...and remember, as David says: "like everything you do on social media, be useful to others, be interested in others, and always be positive and professional."

I Was Thinking
This sounds like a pretty cool feature...when watching a movie I've often wondered where I've seen an actor before or who was singing a background song...when that's happened, I just turned to my daughter and had her Google it on her phone...so now I can do it all by my lonesome
...but then I thought about how this might be applied to Google Glass
Isn't it just a natural leap or two before there's an App for Google Glass that works on every face - not just actors?...imagine walking down the street and being able to basically "Google" perfect strangers...it gives new meaning to the phrase "your face is like an open book"
Should I be thrilled or frightened? (I'm gonna go with thrilled for now)

So, My sons birthday is April 21st. He just went to his 9 month well check up yesterday. He weights 24lbs and is 29.5 inches long. 85% for both. He isn't crawling yet, but is trying to. He isnt able to sit up on his own, but it is getting better and he isn't babbling like he should be. He makes mostly noises and one sound like "da". But it isnt combined with two sounds like "da-da". So he is going to Childrens hospital to get an assessment for gross motor, fine motor and cognitive. Does anyone else have any issues like this? I'm worried but at the same time he is laughing and crying like an average baby. Advice??

This Friday the first of our new series of Cafe Exhibitions will open at the Circus Hostel, where we will be presenting the photography of the German-based Korean photographer Ilda Kim. The photographs come from a larger collection entitled “Unterwegs” (On the Road). Here is what Ilda says about his work:
Beginning
Upon looking at my Unterwegs photos, people often ask me where I took them.
It is essentially a spatial question. This extremely plain question prompted me to recognize the differences between me and others in perspectives for space and life. In other words, this provides my Unterwegs project with the necessary impetus.
Discovering Similarities Amongst Diversity
Travelling, or a momentary detachment from a society excites us with a sense of liberation, whose core element is the freedom from the reality. When the travelling becomes an incessant routine, however, it becomes another reality in itself. My life has reached a stage like this, and the constant travelling became my life to a large extent. Thus, while travelling, I find a sense of settlement from travelling instead of differences from diversity.
Recognition of memory fragments and afterimages while in motion
My internal interpretation, or mental image, of space is closely related to the modern methods of transportation. The modern transportation methods afford speed which is beyond what humans are naturally capable of, and this speed turns my memories into passing, blurry and unfocused shards of images. This is my memory about Unterwegs.
Transparent Barrier
In those shards of memories are vague reflections of other spaces, or reflections of internal spaces on the windows which form a barrier between the space I belong to, and the space outside. I, separated from the outside by the windows, become a spectator and an outsider. Images of Unterwegs may be an expression of an outsider who cannot assimilate with the space he can behold.
Ending
When viewed collectively, the images of Unterwegs loses the meaning as “Spatial Signs.”
Another meaning of settlement which is unique to a life of a nomad, and the fragments and afterimages of memories, or Unterwegs, are a reflection of self through the outside and a trip of identity.
The photographs will be hanging in the Circus Cafe from the 5th February 2011 until the 1st March 2011. There will be a small vernissage this Friday from 7pm, and the cafe is open from 8.30am until 8pm every single day of the week if you would like to come by and take a look…

Cisco.com Worldwide Home
This document discusses these items:
Improve the security of LDAP Directory Integration with Cisco Unified
CallManager (CUCM) with several configuration steps to restrict permissions.
These procedures improve both an existent and new installation of directory
integration.
The access and management of the directory require a special user and
group. Permissions are set on objects to restrict the dedicated user and group,
and the directory integration is then updated (for an existent install) or
completed (for a new install). Finally, the integration is
verified.
There are no specific requirements for this document.
This document is specific to Cisco Unified CallManager 4.x.
These steps, which are shown with the Microsoft Active Directory (AD),
can also apply to other supported directory products.
Refer to
Cisco
Technical Tips Conventions for more information on document
conventions.
Follow these steps for an existent directory integration:
Create a new group, such as CUCM Directory
Group.
Set the group permissions for directory
access.
Move the existent directory user to the new
group.
Remove the user from the old group; members can only be of the new
group.
Perform verification.
Follow these steps for an existent directory integration where a
dedicated account was not used:
Create a new user, such as CUCM Directory
Manager.
Make the user a member of the new group only.
Change CUCM to use the new user; modify the registry and ini
file.
Restart the Cisco Tomcat.
Change the password of the original account that had been
used.
Follow these steps for a new installation of Directory
Integration:
Set restrictions on this new group.
Put the new user into a group with Administrator privileges, for
example, Domain Admins.
Use the new user when you install the plug-in.
Move the user to the newly created CUCM Directory
Group.
Set the new group as the primary group for the admin
user.
Remove this user from the old group, which must no longer be a
member of any other group.
Perform Verification with this procedure:
Create a new user, ccmtest, in the directory
(on the directory server).
Check that the ccmtest user is listed in CUCM
Users.
Change the PIN of the ccmtest on the CUCM User Configuration
page.
Ensure that the field is updated in the
directory.
Change ciscoCCNatCTIUseEnabled to True for ccmtest
in the directory.
Confirm that the Enable CTI Application Use check
box is checked for ccmtest in CUCM.
Delete ccmtest user.
Ensure that only wanted parts of the tree are visible with an LDAP
browser: must not be able to view anything outside the Cisco Organizational
Unit (OU) or Users OU.
Note: The names that are used here for the dedicated account and group are
CUCM Directory Manager and CUCM Directory
Group, respectively, but you can choose different names.
Choose Start > Programs >
Administrative Tools > Active Directory Users and
Computers.
Follow these steps to create the new group:
Right-click the Users container.
Choose New > Group.
Enter the Group name,
scope, and type,
such as CUCM Directory Group, Global, and
Security.
Click Next.
Click Finish.
The group must be granted these rights:
Read/Write/Create all child objects/
Delete all child objects on the Cisco OU
Read/Write/Create all child objects/
Delete all child objects on the Cisco OU
These rights must apply to this object and all child objects.
Read privileges on the Users OU,
Read/Write privileges on the ciscoatGUID,
ciscoatUserProfile, and ciscoatUserProfileString
attributes for all User objects.
Read privileges on the Users OU,
Read/Write privileges on the ciscoatGUID,
ciscoatUserProfile, and ciscoatUserProfileString
attributes for all User objects.
Follow these steps to set the Read/Write/Create privileges on the Cisco
OU:
Right-click the Cisco container.
Choose Properties.
Choose the Security tab.
Click Advanced.
Click Add....
Enter CCM Directory Group.
Set Apply onto field to This object and
all child objects.
Check Allow for Read All
Properties.
Check Allow for Write All
Properties.
Check Allow for Create All Child
Objects.
Check Allow for Delete All Child
Objects.
Click OK.
Follow these steps to set Read privileges on the Users OU:
Right-click the Users container.
Choose Properties.
Choose the Security tab.
Set Apply onto field to user objects.
Follow these steps to set Read/Write privileges on the Cisco
attributes:
Check Allow for Read ciscoatGUID, Read
ciscoatUserProfile, ReadatUserProfileString.
Check Allow for Write ciscoatGUID, Write
ciscoatUserProfile, Write atUserProfileString.
Follow these steps to create a new user:
Choose New > User.
Enter the name and logon name,
such as, CUCM Directory Manager, ccmdiruser.
Fill in the Password and Confirm
Password fields.
Check the Password Never Expires check box.
Follow these steps to move the user to a new group and remove from the
old group:
Choose the Users OU.
Right-click ccmdiruser and choose
Properties.
Choose the Member Of tab.
Enter the CCM Directory
Group.
Choose the CCM Directory
Group.
Click Set Primary Group.
Choose the old group.
Click Remove.
Three steps are required to change CUCM to use the new user:
Obtain the encrypted password.
Set the account and password in the registry.
Set the account and password in the DC Directory initialization
file.
Note: Although the password that is used here is
for demonstration purposes, you
must use a complex password instead.
Choose Start > Run.
Enter cmd.
Enter cd C:\dcdsrvr\bin.
Caution: If you edit the wrong registry key or make a mistake while you edit
the registry, your system can be unusable until you repair the registry. You
must backup your registry before you make any changes. Make sure that you know
how to restore the registry from the backup before you continue. Because an
explanation of how to maintain the server registry is beyond the scope of this
document, consult your system documentation for this information.
Enter regedit and click
OK.
Browse to \\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cisco Systems,
Inc.\Directory Configuration within the registry.
In the right pane, double-click the MGRDN registry
key.
Change the user, for example, Administrator >
ccmdiruser.
Double-click the MGRPW registry key.

Tools > Services.
Right-click Cisco Tomcat and choose
Restart.
Follow these steps to verify that the temporary ccmtest user is in the
CUCM Directory:
From the CUCM Administration pages, choose User
> Global Directory.
Press the Search button.
Ensure that the ccmtest user is in the list of
users.
Follow these steps to change the PIN of the ccmtest user:
Choose ccmtest at the User
Information Page.
Press the Change... button.
Enter a 5-digit PIN, for example,
12345.
Press the Update and Close
buttons.
Use a directory browser to choose the Cisco
OU.
Navigate to CCN > profiles
> ccm-test-CCNProfile.
Ensure that the CiscoCCNatPIN field has the new
value.
Follow these steps to change the ciscoCCNatCTIUseEnabled field:
Modify ciscoCCNatCTIUseEnabled to
true.
Refresh the User Configuration page
for user ccmtest.
Ensure that the Enable CTI Application Use check
box is now marked.
Follow these steps to delete the ccmtest user:
Right-click ccmtest and choose
Delete.
Choose Yes to confirm.

The Bell-LaPadula model is used to enforce access control within the government and military. It was developed by David Elliott Bell and Leonard J. LaPadula, hence the funny name. The Bell-LaPadula model focuses on confidentiality. While the formal model may not be applicable for most uses, the terminology and concepts are still important to passing the CISSP exam. As you review the model, think of the military uses of clearance levels, it will make understanding easier.
Unclassified < Confidential < Secret < Top Secret
In a nutshell, the Bell-LaPadula model prevents a user with a Secret clearance from viewing a Top Secret document (no read up). It also prevents a user from putting Top Secret information within a Secret document (no write down). In this model, the entities are divided into subjects and objects. Think of subjects as users and objects as computers or documents. To determine whether access is allowed, the clearance of a subject is compared to the classification of the object and a determination is made as to whether the subject is authorized for the specific access mode.
No read up
Fred wants to read a document. Using the Bell-LaPadula model, we’d first determine the classification of the document (the object). Then we’d determine the clearance of Fred (the subject). If the document is classified as Top Secret, but Fred only has a Secret clearance, then we wouldn’t let Fred read it. If Fred had a clearance that was equal to or higher than the document, like Top Secret, then we’d allow this. Similarly, if the document had a classification that was equal to or lower than Fred’s clearance, then we’d also allow it.
No write down
Fred would like to add a page to the document. First we’d first determine the classification of the page he wants to add. Then we’d determine the classification of the document. If the page that Fred wants to add is classified as Top Secret, and the document he wants to add it to is classified Secret, then we’d tell Fred “no”, and send him on his way. If Fred wanted to add a page that was equal to, or lower classification level than the book, then we’d allow this. Likewise, if the book had a classification that was equal or higher than the classification of the page Fred wants to add, then this would be fine.
No related posts.
It was pretty easy for me to understand how someone would not be able to “read up”, or get access to a document or file that they were not cleared for but I had a hard time understanding “writing down”. This article made it easy for me to understand.
“Fred wants to read a document. Using the Bell-LaPadula model, we’d first determine the classification of the document (the subject). Then we’d determine the clearance of Fred (the subject).”
Shouldn’t this be “the document (the object)”?
Anon – Thanks for the correction, I updated the post.

CITES Workshop on Introduction from the Sea Issues
30 November - 2 December 2005, Geneva, Switzerland
Decision 13.18
on Introduction from the Sea, adopted at the 13th meeting of the
Conference of the Parties to CITES (Bangkok, 2004), directs the
Standing Committee, with the assistance of the CITES Secretariat,
to convene a workshop on introduction from the sea to consider implementation
and technical issues. At its 53rd meeting (Geneva, June 2005), the
Standing Committee, on the advice of its clearing-house, decided
on the agenda for the workshop and agreed that the workshop would
be chaired by the Chairman of the Standing Committee, Ambassador Cristian
Maquieira.
The workshop will be held in Geneva, Switzerland, from 30 November
to 2 December 2005 (only in English). Participants will include
government officials from CITES Management and Scientific Authorities
and government-nominated fisheries experts from all six CITES geographic
regions, as well as representatives of the Food and Agriculture
Organization of the United Nations, the UN Office of Legal Affairs
Division for Ocean Affairs and the Law of the Sea, the World Customs
Organization, the European Commission, the North East Atlantic Fisheries
Commission and three non-governmental organizations (TRAFFIC International,
IWMC-World Conservation Trust and Species Survival Network).
The purpose of the workshop is to prepare a report on which all
CITES Parties can comment and which will provide the basis for the
Secretariat to prepare a discussion paper and draft resolution for
consideration at the 54th meeting of the Standing Committee (Geneva,
October 2006) and at the 14th meeting of the Conference of the Parties
(tentatively June 2007). During the course of the workshop, participants
will take into account the two FAO Expert Consultations on implementation
and legal issues, and documents presented and discussions that occurred
at the 11th and 13th meetings of the Conference of the Parties on
these issues. Click here
to see the provisional agenda for the workshop, together with a
list of relevant background documents.

Abstract
Modern data center applications are complex distributed systems with tens or hundreds of interacting software components. An important management task in data centers is to predict the impact of a certain workload or reconfiguration change on the performance of the application. Such predictions require the design of “what-if” models of the application that take as input hypothetical changes in the application’s workload or environment and estimate its impact on performance. We present Predico, a workload-based what-if analysis system that uses commonly available monitoring information in large scale systems to enable the administrators to ask a variety of workload-based “what-if” queries about the system. Predico uses a network of queues to analytically model the behavior of large distributed applications. It automatically generates node-level queueing models and then uses model composition to build system-wide models. Predico employs a simple what-if query language and an intelligent query execution algorithm that employs on-the-fly model construction and a change propagation algorithm to efficiently answer queries on large scale systems. We have built a prototype of Predico and have used traces from two large production applications from a financial institution as well as real-world synthetic applications to evaluate its what-if modeling framework. Our experimental evaluation validates the accuracy of Predico’s node-level resource usage, latency and workload-models and then shows how Predico enables what-if analysis in two different applications.

Abstract
Various thermodynamic and thermophysical properties, such as density, molar conductivity, and refractive index for d-glucose + ionic liquid, 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([HMIm]Br), + H2O solutions have been measured at 298.15 K. The calculated volumetric properties containing standard partial molar volumes () and corresponding transfer volumes () were used to interpret solute–solvent interactions. An increase was observed in the and values with increasing the ionic liquid concentration. This observation indicates that there are interactions between [HMIm]Br and the hydrophilic OH and O groups of d-glucose, providing that the ionic liquid has a dehydration effect on the d-glucose solutions. To confirm this result, limiting molar conductivities (Î0) and ion association constants (Ka) for [HMIm]Br in aqueous d-glucose solutions have been estimated by low concentration Chemical Model (lcCM). These quantities decrease with increasing the concentration of d-glucose, suggesting strong interactions between the ionic liquid and d-glucose. The values of molar refractions (RD) obtained from refractive index measurements show an increase upon increasing both d-glucose and the ionic liquid concentrations. It was also attempted to make a comparison between the results obtained here and those of our previous works to investigate the effect of the cation size of ionic liquid on the solute–solvent interactions. ⺠Thermodynamic properties of d-glucose + [HMIm]Br + H2O solutions were studied. ⺠Densities, conductivities, and refractive indices of the solutions were measured. ⺠Interactions of the ionic liquid with the polar groups of d-glucose were observed. ⺠These interactions increase with the rise of the concentration of the ionic liquid.

Structural diversity of amyloid fibril formed in human calcitonin as revealed by site-directed 13C solid-state NMR spectroscopy

Abstract
Fibril formation in human calcitonin (hCT) from aqueous solution at pH 4.1 was examined and compared with those at pH 3.3 and 7.5 corresponding to three different net charges by means of site-directed 13C solid-state NMR spectroscopy. Notably, the observed 13C chemical shifts and lineshapes of the 13C CP/MAS spectra differed substantially among fibrils prepared at different pHs. It was found that antiparallel β-sheet structures were formed at pH 7.5 and 4.1 in the central core regions. In the C-terminal region, random coils were formed at both pH 7.5 and 4.1, although the random coil region at pH 4.1 was larger than that at pH 7.5. Fibrillation kinetics analyzed by a two-step autocatalytic reaction mechanism showed that the rate constants k1 and k2 for nucleation and maturation reactions of the fibril formation, respectively, were separately determined and the values correlated well with the net positive charges of Lys18 and His20 rather than the existence of a negative charge of Asp15. Further, an attempt was made to assess interatomic distances between amide nitrogen and carbonyl carbon of neighboring chains of 13C, 15N-labeled hCT and a model pentapeptide by 13C REDOR measurements by taking into account its dipolar interaction analyzed by the 3 spin system proposed previously. A unique chain packing of the antiparallel β-sheets was proposed as a dominant fibril structure, although the possibility of a contribution of chain packing consisting of sliding one or two residues perpendicular to the fibril direction cannot be ruled out. In addition, it appears that the phenyl rings of Phe16 are aligned on the same side of the β-sheet and make the β-sheet stable by forming π–π interactions between the β-strands.

Fresh off the premiere of Lifetime’s unintentionally hilarious monstrosity, Liz and Dick, comes a new chapter of a love story that defines a generation. This week, Liz Lemon and Criss Chross will be joined in holy hotdog matrimony on 30 Rock (8 p.m. Thursday, NBC).
For six years, audiences have watched the nerdy, night-cheese-eating, workaholic Liz transform into a woman who … well, is still all of those things, but can now hold a stable relationship with a relatively normal man (played by James Marsden)!
But Liz has come a ways in this seventh and final season: She’s made peace with being the breadwinner while maintaining a feminine role in her relationship, she’s discovered that organization is her aphrodisiac and she even has the maturity to discuss conception instead of referring to any future offspring as plants.
Could Liz’s wedding party be made up of her ragtag group of exes? How will Jenna react to sharing the spotlight with a fellow bride-to-be? Does Liz still have her “$4,000 ham napkin” wedding gown from Season 2? Will we get to see a montage of Liz trying on dresses as Tracy gives expressive feedback, set to an upbeat ’80s Pop song? The low-key duo will probably just get a quickie marriage license at the courthouse, but a fangirl can dream.
True Lizbians will likely want to celebrate with their own at-home receptions, so here are a few tips. Just like in Liz’s everyday life, food will play a huge role in this celebration. Any good Lemon-approved spread will include plenty of shrimp, cheesy blasters and Sabor de Soledad (or any imported, off-brand “cheez curlz”). Liz typically drinks a classy spritzer of Sprite and white wine, but I’d guess the couple’s signature cocktail would involve bacon-flavored vodka. Dress in your finest PJs (Night Spanx if you’re feeling sassy).
WEDNESDAY NOV.
Christmas in Rockefeller Center (8 p.m., NBC) -– Watch the 80th annual lighting of the tree in NYC; stick around for your favorite Saturday Night Live holiday sketches at 9 p.m.
Modern Family (9 p.m., ABC) – Mitch reluctantly joins Cam in trying to save an old tree in the park; Jay and Manny feel out of place at an athletically themed children’s party; Gloria’s “pregnancy brain” becomes an issue during a Costco trip with Claire.
American Horror Story: Asylum (10 p.m., FX) – A dark angel (Frances Conroy, who played old Moira in AHS Season One) enters the scene. The presence helps some but terrifies the possessed Sister Mary Eunice. Kit goes to great lengths to reunite with Grace.
THURSDAY NOV. 29
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia (10 p.m., FX) – Charlie and Frank suit up to help the old real estate company with a big business deal, but the office isn’t quite what Frank remembers.
The League (10:30 p.m., FX) – Pete fights a man in a wheelchair (JB Smoove) for a pair of shoes. The others question his athleticism.
FRIDAY NOV. 30
Whisker Wars (10 p.m., IFC) – After considering leaving the world of competitive facial hair for good, Jack Passion returns to the game with whiskered wrath in New York.
SUNDAY DEC. 2
Dexter (9 p.m., Showtime) – Hannah’s father makes a surprise appearance. I really hope the show didn’t introduce that creepy arson specialist just to reveal that he himself is the phantom.
The Walking Dead (Midseason Finale, 9 p.m., AMC) – What an exciting ride it’s been, watching this superfan show return with such a vengeance after a lackluster second season! To keep us fans hungrier than one of Milton’s experimental zombies, AMC is giving us another midseason break this time around, returning with eight new episodes in February 2013. But with the impending collide of Woodbury vs. The Prison, this is sure to be packed with finale-worthy action. Comic fave Tyreese (The Wire’s Chad Coleman) is rumored to make his TV debut.
Boardwalk Empire (Season Finale, 9 p.m., HBO) – The war is on. Chalky and Capone challenge Masseria; Nucky reaches out to Rothstein; Margaret deals with a solitary battle; Harrow returns to Artemis with an arsenal, hopefully taking out both Gyp and Gillian.
Homeland (10 p.m., Showtime) – Brody considers resigning from Congress and giving up his bid for Veep; Saul looks into Quinn’s true role with the CIA; Carrie’s car is discovered wrecked and abandoned.
TUESDAY DEC. 4
Sons of Anarchy (Season Finale, 10 p.m., FX) – Jax makes a deal that washes his hands of long-standing problems.
Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show (10 p.m., CBS) – Boobies and Bieber. For some, that’s all it takes.

Daily Reading
Genesis 3:1-13
Reflection
Wouldn't it be easier if every temptation came with a neon light that flashed "TEMPTATION?" We would be suspicious from the very beginning. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Temptation is subtle, alluring and unique to each of us. As Adam and Eve illustrated in the Garden, every temptation seems rational and appealing playing on our desires to be in control of our own lives. At the core, every temptation has the potential of revealing a distrust in God. Instead of questioning our motive to partake of the "forbidden fruit," we question and suspect God. Do we not learn from past mistakes? Could it be that the very thing we are longing and searching for is actually found in a relationship with God? Could it be that God is actually faithful, loving and cares for us more deeply than we can even fathom? Again, every temptation has the potential of revealing a distrust in God, because with every temptation a choice is given. What is your "forbidden fruit?" What form does it come in? And better yet, what will you choose this Lenten season?
Faithful God, we long for you and yet we run after other things to fulfill that longing that is solely meant for you. Forgive us for suspecting you rather than questioning the various things that we embrace. With every temptation you provide a way out, give us the strength to choose you. >

Ice Cubes
The last time I saw Joe Tartaglia — the 44 year old co-proprietor of Connie’s Ric Rac in the Italian Market — he saw me walking my greyhound around the neighborhood on a chilly early afternoon and told me that he had a friend who sold custom-made dog coats that played music.
“It’s like a dog iPod in his coat,” said Joe. “You should call him.”
That was the Little Joe Brown, or Joe Jr., or whatever-you-called him I knew: always something absurd at the conversational ready and always hustling, whether it was for his live music and comedy outpost on Ninth Street or someone else’s game.
Joe passed away this week after a long battle with brain cancer. I had heard he was sick but assumed, like everything else in the Market that he would always be there no matter what the trouble. Like the rest of his family — his dad Joe, mom Connie, brother Frankie — young Joe Tartaglia was a daily part of my life, and their struggles to get Connie’s Ric Rac off the ground and liquor-licensed a long time part of my reporting.
The other night, the Ric Rac (which is literally right behind my house) opened its doors and let his friends rock the joint despite the family’s loss. They said that Joey would have wanted it that way. I disagree. I think he would have liked it to be just a little louder.
Rest in peace, Joe.
Normally, you’d say that we can’t truly miss somebody if they don’t go away. Luckily, it is Questlove/?uestlove we’re talking about — the ultimate Philadelphian whose re-location to Manhattan would seem final if he always here. (Take last month’s Fluid finale.)
But he’s got that a chicken-and-cupcake business with Stephen Starr at Chelsea Market.
He’s got that Tonight Show gig.
And now there are plans for a book tour to accompany his debut (you know they’ll be more) memoir, Mo' Meta Blues: The World According to Questlove.
June 1’s Roots Picnic along the waterfront is a month away as of today. Spinna, a gig whose live entertainment features the Joseph A. Ferko String Band. Out-dazzle the Mummers, Quest, I dare you. #Hashtag Media videographer, manager and producer Craig Kaplan helped set up Quest and Vetri two years ago and got the busy twosome together for this charitable bash again in 2013. Kaplan is currently shooting Vetri video stuff for GCE around town. Maybe Quest will slip in for his close up. Tix and info here.
The now 32 year old AIGA Philadelphia, the first local chapter of all the American Institute of Graphic Arts chapters, does a lot of good things. OK, they have a lot of meetings and lectures about doing good things in relation to Philly’s graphic design art and business scene. One thing that AIGA-P chapter president Allan Espiritu and ex-City Paper graphics guy Kevin Kernan and their dozens of members don’t do nicely by is their t-shirt collection, as this group paints over and wrecks them every spring for their annual T-Shirt Design Show and sale, “Off the Rack.” The start of the sale and exhibition is tonight, First Friday April 5 (starting at 6 p.m.) and all shirts, designed its membership, will be sold at $20.00 and 30% of the proceeds will go to benefit operations at AIGA SPACE (72 N. Second St.) These guys serve a lot of beer and a lot of wine, so whether you want to or not, you’ll find yourself with a bushel of new shirts by night’s end.
This weekend, Philadelphia’s most prominent media-centric dynasty (as if we had a bunch) the Robertses of Comcast/Universal/Xfinity fame made their presence known at several top notch events. If I had known, I would have brought my bill.
I knew this was happening since last spring, that Fluid/Latest Dish owner Tony Schiro was putting his double decker positively Fourth Street nightclub and eatery on the market.
We were simply waiting for the dancing shoe to drop. But still, thanks to Questo, it got dropped early. Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson, an occasional DJ at Fluid, hit up his preferred mode of communication: Twitter, with the news. If you check Q’s responses, the information was a shock to Fluid fans and DJs alike such as that club’s occasional contributor Cosmo Baker.
A last big bash is being planned for Fluid’s finale — a Tastytreats bash starring Questlove, Mike Nyce, and Yameen Allworld on April 6. Then both spaces will shutter April 7.
That said, rumors have been swirling for months about who would take the off-South behemoth complete with top notch kitchen amenities and a dancefloor with a tile grotto next to it. Would they split up? Would the dreaded idea of “condos” come into play? Most recently, word has it that a single primary buyer is interested in taking the whole tamale and keeping it in the food and entertainment business. Stay tuned. And so long Fluid. We’ll miss you.
Valentine’s Day is for lovers, I get that. Still, if you adore fashion and you dig doing good perhaps you can merge all that l’amour into one outing. You could do that tonight, Feb. 14, as fashion designer/Project Runway All Stars winner and AIDS advocate Mondo Guerra hits up 17th Street’s Hotel Palomar to benefit ActionAIDS’ Dining Out for Life program with a Fashion in Action event featuring t-shirts of his design and nibbles from Square 1682.
Guerra — who goes mostly by his first name, “Mondo” — has spent time in Philly before. He did the AIDS Walk here two years ago, loves the city’s sense of history and winding streets (“they’re so narrow,” he says) and appreciates the buzz he gets here after living in New York City for so long. Most crucially, he’s impressed by this city’s dedication to AIDS/HIV education and activism. “We are all activists. Philly’s big on that. Anyone can get involved from any community that you are a part of. I get asked that all the time. It’s easier than you think.”
Philadelphia knows Brendan Bring’Em the DJ for his Sherman’s March-like rush on this city’s best dance clubs, to say nothing of his on-stage antics (at one time or another) for Jay-Z and the Beastie Boys.
Locals know Brendan Olkus the artist as the fascinatingly odd creator of tribal gas masks and ritual-heavy paintings whose images portray gorgeous displays of bloodshed.
That these two separate but equal personalities should meet on one project — his self designed, built and co-owned up-coming first-ever club, Emmaline (named after his grandmother) — is a bonus to say nothing of the fact that it’s the biggest thing he’s ever done. Olkus is setting up in the unused space below the nightspot Industry XIX on 19th and Chestnut, a room that has remained empty for a minute with its own speakeasy-like entry way alley on 19th Street. While there will be a hard hat friends-and-family opening in the next 10 to 12 days, Olkus intends to be fully opened, six days a week, within 16 days.
“One of the prettiest sights in this pretty world is that of the privileged classes enjoying their privileges.”
—Katharine Hepburn, The Philadelphia Story
Last Monday night at the Kimmel Center, about 400 members of the Philadelphia theater community got together to finish what the Theater Alliance started — they gave away the remaining awards meant to be part of the annual Barrymores along with a posthumous Lifetime Achievement prize to Wilma Theater co-founder Jiri Zizka.
An honorary and voluntary committee of local stage artisans pulled off "Theatre Philadelphia: A Celebration” without a hitch. Each presentation for the $10,000 F. Otto Haas Award for an emerging artist was outrageous fun, in particular Alex Bechtel & Co.’s “Dream Weaver” cover dedicated to nominee Thom Weaver as well as Lee Ann Etzold’s bare-breasted salute to her Bang co-star and creator Charlotte Ford (actor and 11th Hour Theatre Company co-founder Steve Pacek won the Haas). The $25,000 Brown Martin Philadelphia Award for theater companies celebrating cultural and spiritual diversity went to Flashpoint Theatre Company, for last season's Slip/Shot drama about race penned by Philly playwright Jacqueline Goldfinger, who had already had won a Barrymore for outstanding new play this year. Along with those awards, a new seasonally recurring $10K gift was announced — the June and Steve Wolfson Award for an outstanding small theater company.
Jiri Zizka was celebrated by his son, Krystof, and ex-wife, Blanka Zizka for his dedication to advancing the avant-garde as artistic director and co-founder of the Wilma Theater, and helping turn Philadelphia into an adventuresome theater town.
Along with lionizing Zizka, Theater Philadelphia poked fun at the departure of its red-carpet Barrymores as well as bemoaning the loss of the Philadelphia Inquirer’s full-time theater critic Howard Shapiro, a staffer who took a buyout rather than be moved to the paper’s New Jersey bureau.
No sooner than I mention Philly’s Bradley Cooper and his 2013 schedule he goes and gets himself additional plans that’ll keep him squarely on the East Coast for some time. Last night, word got out that he’ll be part of the next Cameron Crowe film with Emma Stone. Whether that means a Singles or a Vanilla Sky, we have no clue as yet. (JUST DON’T MAKE IT ANOTHER WE BOUGHT A ZOO, PLEASE!) Today, The Vulture reports that a big part of getting Coop to the Crowe comes down to the film’s producer Scott Rudin. Word has it that Rudin will massage Cooper’s ego and his thesssssspian bug by trying to get a three-month run of The Elephant Man, the Coop’s favorite play that he spent the summer performing in diapers at the Williamstown Theater Festival — onto Broadway. Rudin, through the Shubert Organization, has produced plenty of plays, some (like Doubt) that he’s even made into films, so that shouldn’t be a problem. Question is, which one comes first? Who cares, as long as Cooper gets his Philly nut off first with that David O. Russell ABSCAM flick? As for The Elephant Man, if David Bowie, star of The Linguini Incident and Labrynth — can do it, surely Cooper can.

Do the Duvel tonight at Devil's Den
Filed Under: Booze | Dealage | Food Events
Alexandra Harcharek touched on this in her latest What's Cooking column, but we figured we'd remind you here, too: Tonight at 8, drop by Devil's Den (1148 S. 11th St.) for a taste of Duvel Green, the first beer the time-tested Belgian brewery developed for draft. (Glasses will be a buck off from 8 to 10.) A Duvel rep will be on hand to remind you that Duvel is, in fact, readily available in Philly once more.

Archive: November, 2009?
Adam Ritter of frequent Meal Ticket haunt The Sidecar (2201 Christian St.) tells us that he's just inked a deal for a second location. Located in a long-vacant bar space on the corner of Montgomery and Girard in Fishtown, his as-yet-unnamed project will be most comparable to a contemporary European bistro in both design and layout � picture a 30-seat U-shaped bar in the middle of the space, surrounded by a smattering of picnic bench-style seating. The location, which'll be single-level to start out, is roughly twice the size of The Sidecar's floorplan.
Right now the plan is do between 20 and 24 beers on tap, plus growlers � "It's going to take what we do at our place and put it on performance-enhancing drugs," says Ritter. The menu, which'll be handled by new Sidecar chef Brian Lofink (formerly of Matyson and Brasserie Perrier), will be focused on well-crafted smaller shareable plates. The spot should be open sometime in the first quarter of 2010.
By the by, Sidecar's plan to expand to onto a second floor is still a go.
I love the sidecar!
[...] An even bigger deal concerning the Sidecar, owner Adam Ritter has lined up a second bar, this one� at Girard and Montgomery in Fishtown. No name yet, but the “European bistro” is aiming for a first quarter of 2010 opening. [Meal Ticket] [...]

When
If whimsical cocktail lore is to be believed, today, Nov. 19, marks the 100-year anniversary of the Cuban daiquiri � rum, sugar, lime, water � making its first appearance on American soil. Story goes that Navy Admiral Lucius Johnson caught wind of the drink and introduced to his boys at the Army Navy Club one century ago today in our nation's capital. To celebrate the occasion (why do cocktails always have such awesomely erudite backstories?), The Franklin Mortgage & Investment Co. (112 S. 18th St.) is offering $8 renditions of the classic today from 5 p.m. till last call. For a dollar more, they'll strawberry-ify it for you. Since all Franklin tipples are usually $12 across the board, this is a deal, so drink one or six in a salute to the good Admiral.

Readers (suggest) Photoshop: BRING THA ROYS!
Filed Under: Sporting Life | Sports Complex | The Phightin Phils
So this afternoon, Friend of the Clog Jesse Delaney e-mailed us with this tantalizing idea: Take the Public Enemy silhouette-in-crosshairs logo, insert Mr. Red, and slap "Bring Tha Roys!" a nod to P.E.'s "Bring Tha Noize," underneath.
And through the photoshop magic of CP's Alyssa Grenning, voila!
According to J.D.: "I'm blowing it up to poster size and carrying it to the game tomorrow."
Got an idea for a killer Phils logo? E-mail bhoward [at] citypaper [dot] net.

Delhi braces for protests after gang rape victim dies

New Delhi/Singapore – An Indian woman whose gang rape in New Delhi triggered violent protests has died of her injuries in a Singapore hospital, bringing a security lockdown in Delhi and recognition from India’s prime minister that social change is needed. this morning.
The 23-year-old medical student, severely beaten, raped and thrown out of a moving bus in New Delhi two weeks ago, had been flown to Singapore in a critical condition by the Indian government on Thursday for specialist treatment.
The attack has sparked an intense national debate for the first time about the treatment of women and attitudes towards sex crimes in a nation where most rapes go unreported, many offenders go unpunished, and the wheels of justice turn slowly, according to social activists.
“We are very sad to report that the patient passed away peacefully at 4.45am on December 29 2012. Her family and officials from the High Commission (embassy) of India were by her side,” Mount Elizabeth Hospital chief executive Kelvin Loh said in a statement.ise these emotions and energies into a constructive course of action”, Singh said.

Our Mission - Save Chancellorsville
In 2009, the Civil War Trust worked to save 85 prime acres of the Chancellorsville Battlefield – land associated with Stonewall Jackson’s famed Flank Attack on May 2, 1863.
Now we have a brand new opportunity to help save an additional 14 acres of this threatened battlefield. This new tract not only sits squarely in the middle of Jackson’s attack route, but it also contains significant road frontages on the Orange Plank Road and Orange Turnpike (Route 3).
Working with our preservation partners, the Civil War Trust must raise $95,000 to help save this historic property. I hope you agree with us that this is “must have” battlefield land within the heart of one of America’s most historic and endangered Civil War battlefields.
