I absolutely am in love with this purchase. It has been worn a few times already and has held up great after each wash with no fading, loss of shape or pealing. This graphic works best I think against the grey I chose. Love that this artist represents the beautiful diversity of our Puerto Rican culture. This image resonates with me being that I am Puerto Rican of mostly African descent. Thank you Ida Yvette Robles for representing all of us Boricuas!

This item arrived stained and dingy. The t-shirt itself has a stain on it and the color is absolutely nothing like the photo. The product detail has my image on a white tank top; however, the tank top that arrived looks like it was washed with a bunch of brown clothes and has a dirty look to it, aside from the stain. I took a picture of a Gildan white t-shirt I own (thats been washed several times already) with the tank top I received to show how dingy the tank looks. I've opened a ticket regarding a refund or replacement on this item and still have yet to hear back from anyone. Yet again, not a good first impression for this company.

I grew up in the French countryside, where I spent most of my youth surrounded by the spacious and beautiful fields at my family�s farm. After studying architecture for four years at the University of Clermont-Ferrand; I realized that I was interested mostly by its artistic aspects. I then refocused my artistic talents through theater and photography. It's at age 27 that I really started to explore painting and drawing during a precious and meaningful three years exploration on the Canary Islands. This was a time of deep contemplation and reconnection with nature. Upon my return to France, I worked in Paris for two years with sculptor Robert Granai, designer for Guerlain beauty products. I came to the USA in 1992, met my wonderful...

Writing under several pen names can be a bit confusing at times but it's enormous fun. Being a writer I love pretending to be somebody else and I guess this is just another way of exploring imaginary worlds and identities. So far I've been Jessica Fox for five books and Georgie Carter for one book, as well as writing under my own name for the lovely folk at Orion.
Jessica Fox sounds exciting, doesn't she? I like to think of her as a sexier version of me! Sometimes people get a bit confused about my alter ego but it's really not that complicated. I'm not running around Cornwall with my pants over my tights (well, not on purpose anyway, but I do get dressed in the dark a lot if my husband is trying to sleep in and I'm up at some silly time to muck out the horse) Jessica Fox and Georgie Carter are the names I use for the writing I do in collaboration with Working Partners.
Even if you haven't heard of Working Partners it's very likely that you'll have come across a book that's been produced by them. They're a creative team who work with writers to come up with story lines and ideas for novels. They've been really successful with children's books. The Rainbow Fairies series is one of theirs and the Animal Ark stories too. It's a bit like ghost writing except that the writer is involved with the plot and characters and can be very creative (I cause all sorts of trouble deviating from the storylines and inventing new characters!) It's also a great way of learning how to become disciplined with deadlines, to work with editors and generally to sharpen your skills as an author. It's also a lot of fun and you get to work with some fantastic people and go to fab parties!
A few years ago Working Partners decided that they wanted to do something similar to their children's series but for adults. At this point of my career I was in the process of securing a book deal and my agent suggested it might be something I would like to do in order to gain more experience. Writing's a profession like any other and the more experience you have to hone your craft the better.
To cut a long story short, Working Partners liked my style and ideas so we joined forces. I wrote one book under the pen name Georgie Carter, which has already sold to Germany and will be out in England in September, published by Avon and with the title The Perfect Wedding. As Jessica Fox I'm published by Headline under their Little Black Dress imprint. There are five books out and they are part of a series called "The Hen Night Prophecies". Each book centres on one of five girls who all see a psychic at a friend's hen night. The psychic gives each girl a prophecy and the books deal with how these unfold. You don't need to read the books in order as they all stand independently. They were great fun to write and hopefully a lot of fun to read as well.
I've really enjoyed writing as Jessica as she's a lot sexier in style than me! The characters I write about for my novels with Orion are more likely to go to Primark than Prada and certainly don't have glamorous careers in film or publicity. Katy Carter is a teacher, Ellie Andrews works in a shop and Issie Elliot in my latest book is a PA to a grumpy but gorgeous widower. When I'm Jessica I get to explore my fantasy life whereas the Orion books are more down to earth and comical. It's great to get the play with style and language.
Did I intend to keep my alter egos secret? The answer is yes but this was soon rumbled because Little Black Dress kindly put a "With Special Thanks to Ruth Saberton" in the front of the first book. As an Orion Writer I'm all over the internet and before long confusion reigned! So I had to explain it all and I did so on my Web site
I'm now busy writing my third book for Orion and getting more exciting by the minute as the May 12th publication date for Ellie Andrews has Second Thoughts draws closer. I'm also in the early stages of plotting the sequel to Katy Carter – Katy Carter hits New York – which is huge fun.
Writing under a pen name has been fantastic for developing my craft as a writer and reaching even more lovely readers. I've loved every minute of it.
Ruth's next novel is called Ellie Andrews Has Second Thoughts and is out now!

These shows take place on a monthly rotation throughout The year.
The collective includes:

Although the members of this group share a common background They have all evolved their creative work into different and unique directions that push the boundaries Of traditional street art. The Collective is based in London, but contributing artists come from the U.S, Japan, France and the UK.
Right now they have a solo exhibition on with artist Alex Young titled Exhibitionism.

Manhattan 2005, part 1By Wade Kwon
A year ago this month, The New York Times invited me to try out as a copy editor. I filed these travel dispatches originally by e-mail. [part one | two | three | four | five | six | seven]
Back in New York after many years. Just a few quick notes from the first day in town …
These little town blues
Sheesh, you can't even slip out of town without a big fuss. In the security line at the Birmingham Airport, at 9:30 a.m. on a Sunday, mind you was:
- a large traveling Hispanic family;
- the Red Hat Society (BJ: "Wade, you forgot your red hat!â€);
- most of the team from Fox 6 "Good Day Alabama.â€
And yes, one of those groups was on my tiny nonstop flight to LaGuardia. All the way to baggage claim and the taxi stand. Gotta Tivo Fox 6 Monday morning to see if they're using robots or airing live from the Bronx or what.
Hot town, summer in the city
Yep, it's in the 90s up here, just like Birmingham. Only difference: the streets smell like garbage. Monday must be pickup day, because a lot of the sidewalks had piles of garbage bags.
The plane flew north along Manhattan, with an excellent view of the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, the slanted-roof skyscraper, Central Park, and all of my favorite scenes from Spider-Man (the video game, not the movie).
The cab ride was surreal at first. No chatter, no radio, and almost no A/C — just the faint whiff of sickly sweet air freshener. Mayor Bloomberg must be cracking down on anything and everything. The cabs list a full bill of rights, fares, etc., including no excessive honking, no loud radios, no cabbies talking on cell phones. Eerie.
As we took the bridge from Brooklyn to Manhattan, it's just an amazing sight, seeing the skyline almost as you remember it from a dream.
The dream ended with lots of honking, this in spite the new signs I see saying "No honking — except to warn of danger†or "Honking — $300 fine.†Bloomberg is out of control. Fortunately, my driver thought nothing of weaving through pedestrians, cops, cars, etc., honking as needed. If you're gonna get anywhere — even in Sunday traffic — you need a driver who's a little crazy. Not De Niro "Taxi Driver†crazy, just enough to make the lights.
I love a parrot
Traffic was awful. I didn't get it. We're going to Midtown (Manhattan), so what gives?
My driver, in what I guess to be an Indian accent, asks if it's OK to take a different route. (Rider right No. 3: your choice of shortest route or another you designate.) He says the streets are blocked off, either for a "fest or a parrot.â€
It would've been worth another 20 minutes in that hot cab to see the giant parrot. But we detoured along pretty girl street, or as it's called around here, Fifth Avenue. And I'm starting to feel at home as we swing by Radio City Music Hall, and Times Square, and the Time and Life Building. Kewl.
As we get closer to the apartment, I realize, he didn't say "parrot†— he said "parade†(as in accent on second syllable). I found out on the news that it was the 35th anniversary of the modern gay-rights movement. And I missed it, though it was just a couple of blocks away from my place.
And what a place. A fine Midtown apartment, all decked out. This is first class.
Early Times
My former boss S., who has been at the Times for two years as a copy editor, took me out for coffee at the only place more foreign to me than NYC … Starbucks. I still don't know how to order, pay and then move to the other place where they give you your drink. And I still get not-coffee.
The tourists are choking the sidewalks, and already I hate them, and yet technically I am them. S.'s wife didn't join us, though she also worked with us and now works at AP. Didn't ask.
S. fills me in on the process, for which I'm very grateful. We skip over to a less-traveled street for burgers at a hole-in-the-wall. There are 8 million stories in the naked city, and most of them have to do with eating. I'm already sated from the Starbucks cookie and not-coffee, but oh well.
The real treat: S. takes me into the Times for my first visit before he starts his shift. It always pays to dress up a little, even on the "off†day because you never know. Black pants, gray tee, all smiles.
I don't see the mice S. mentioned, but I do see a large sectioned-off newsroom. Many desks are empty (it *is* Sunday), but I still meet a few copy editors. I'll spare you the stories about crazy copy editors, if only because even at this newspaper, you can't get the edition out without 'em.
War of the whirls
Walking back north through the heart of Times Square, I am bombarded with mutant runaway billboards. If this were Tivo-land, there'd be big swatches of blank canvas and solid white neon. But it's mandated that new buildings in Times Square actually incorporate large ads as part of their facade. Sigh.
You're all getting genuine Rolexes, by the way.
They're all out in full force: hawkers, cops, gawkers, locals, sketchers, and hordes more. Along one sidewalk, they're shooting something (a commercial? "Law and Order: Rookie Patrol�). I skip the ultra-chic supermarket for the Rite Aid for food for the kitchenette. This is the Rite Aid from hell, all narrow and worn out. Everything is compacted to fit on this island. I make it out with enough supplies to do the week.
It is evening, still light out. I drop my stuff in the warm apartment and try to relax. S. gave me plenty of 411 on places to live, though I'd like to just get through my tryout first. No matter what happens, it's hard imagining not giving the big city a shot. It's too expensive, it's crazy, and it's charming all at once.

Some fashion rules are just meant to be broken, especially this one.
In the film Never Been Kissed, Drew Barrymore's character spills chocolate milk on her white jeans and says, "That'll teach me to wear white after Labor Day." But is it really so bad? Maybe for her it was, but is this a rule we should follow?
The rule of not wearing white after Labor Day came to be during the late 1800's early 1900's. After the Civil War, families in high society had to deal with more people becoming millionaires. The already rich families were considered respectable and "old money", while new rich people were considered to be vulgar and called "new money." Ridiculous fashion rules were created by rich, snobby wives who wanted to distinguish the "old money" from the new. Wearing white after Labor Day was one of their rules. If somebody broke the rule they would be ignored and wouldn't fit in, in their arrogant and supercilious society.
Wearing white during that time was mostly meant for the summer months because it kept you cooler. White was appropriate for going to resorts, but not fancy fall parties.
In 1894, Labor Day became a federal holiday which society used as a defining point for the end of summer fashion. Even though the trend started with a couple of hundred women, it spread, and lasted through the years into the present.
There are other theories as to how this fashion rule came about. Wearing white became a tool of segregation for the rich and the poor, not just the rich and the rich. During the Gilded Age, Long Island became The Hamptons and women on yachts and lawn parties wore white. In The Great Gatsby by Baz Luhrmann, there is a description of the wealthy's obsession with the color.
This idea associating the color with the wealthy was pushed by media in magazines like Harper's Bazaar and Vogue. Laborers couldn't afford to wear white. However, this stopped once the middle class grew in the 1950's. Then, everyone could wear white for the summer.
As I said, Labor Day became the dividing point for summer and fall. Sure, it can get really hot in September too, but that didn't matter if it meant breaking the rule and making yourself an outsider. People expected fall weather to be rainy, snowy, and generally dirty so wearing white was just asking for trouble. At any time of year, anyone shouldn't wear white if they can't keep it clean.
It's strange how during the fall everyone associated dark colors with heavy clothing. White clothes tended to be thin and dark clothes tended to be thick. I mean, pea coats probably look better in a darker shade but stop living in the past, warm clothes can be white too! It was like whenever warm clothes were in style the color white just disappeared. Yet in winter, the color white is constantly shoved in our faces with snow, snowflakes, hail, sleet, and Christmas décor. White is the most common and beautiful thing in winter and society was telling us not to wear it? How does that make sense?
Alright, they may have had a point back then, but certainly not now. During the Gilded Age, people didn't have heaters, they got warmth from burning coal. Men shoveled coal to heat the buildings and wore white suits that got covered in soot and would have to be changed around Labor Day since it got cooler out. People also thought the air was dirty because of the coal dust and didn't want to wear white. That kind of makes sense.
Some people never gave a shit about the rule and we admire their bravery. I'm talking about Queen Victoria and CoCo Chanel.
Queen Victoria shocked the fashion world by wearing a white wedding dress to her nuptials to Prince Albert in 1840. White at that time was a sign of mourning.
In the 1920's, CoCo Chanel wore white year-round. CoCo also launched other huge fashion trends that are still popular today such as, having suntanned skin, wearing female trousers, the women's business suit, wearing large costume jewelry, and the little black dress. Clearly, her opinion can be trusted.
I think it's safe to say that it's okay to wear white after Labor Day. Even in Emily Post's book Etiquette, recognizes that this rule has come to an end.
Do people still think it's wrong to wear white after Labor Day? Sure. But who cares!
You do you and wear what you want. Do not let society dictate what is fashionable and what is not. Don't play it safe and don't look how you think people want you to look. On Wednesdays you don't have to wear pink either.
Throw the rule book out the window and be proud.

Susan Rice has just made a terrible mistake after refusing to testify. Everything began when the way she went about formal government business was brought into question. By now we've become used to seeing Obama's associates being caught up in some serious scandal. Obama was willing to risk the prosperity of this country just so he could push his destructive agenda.
It appears that now Susan Rice is in hot water again. Rice may have just confirmed she is guilty by declining to testify. Rice has just given herself up and Trey Gowdy is determined to force her to come out clean, one way or another.
"There are other ways to invite people other than via a letter," said the South Carolina representative. This is in regards to the letter Sen. Lindsey Graham sent to Susan Rice calling her to testify. "There are things called subpoenas. You should not have to use them with a former national security adviser, but if you do, you do."
Gowdy is famous for being able to force the truth out of people, and Susan's suspicious behavior just stirred up Gowdy's instinct that tells him something is amiss here.
Susan Rice may have just dug her own grave, figuratively speaking. Refusing to testify was the worst thing she could've done, and yet she finds herself in this complicated situation.

I am back from Asia, where I ate lots of food. However, as stated I am now back. Being back in Saskatchewan in March seems to mean that I am unemployed once more despite applying for a good 30 jobs or so whilst away. Apparently informing a potential employer that you are in Cambodia and thus will not be able to come in for an interview which is taking place tomorrow - despite the competition closing date of March 6th - ensures that you will never hear from them again. Ah well.
I set out to make these samosas with half a mind to try and recreate the Pushap's samosas of so many lunches. Anyone who went to McGill will be very familiar with samosas. 1 for $1, 3 for $2... those were the days. Anyone from McGill should be familiar with Pushap's - the delightful and delicious tiny Indian restaurant from whence these samosas came. Anyone familiar with me will be aware of the fact I am probably some sort of Asian on the inside as I tend to cook almost exclusively middle eastern-asian-indian type things. Currently I have samosas to my right, and tagine to my left. Case and point.
The idea of making your own dough sounds kind of intimidating, but believe me when I say this is a very easy recipe. If you happen to be blessed with a pasta maker or something that does the dough rolling for you, then even better. I tried to make these marginally healthier by using olive oil and baking them as opposed to frying them. However, if you feel the need to fry, please do so. Also - if you're lazy and/or in possession of some puff pastry, it would also be incredibly delicious as your samosa dough. You can also swap whole wheat flour for the regular flour, or sweet potatoes for the regular potatoes. I did these once with sweet potatoes and caramelized onions and they were epic. The world is your oyster! I mean, samosa!
2 cups of flour
1/2 cup of water (you may need more/less)
4 tbsp olive oil/any kind of oil
1 tsp of cumin seeds
1 pinch of salt
2 cups of cooked and diced potatoes
1/4 cup peas
1 small onion, diced
1.5 tsp garam masala powder
1 tsp cumin seeds
1.5 tbsp coriander seeds - grind them or crush these up a bit with a mortar and pestle or just a knife
a big pinch of salt
other things you will need:
2 mixing bowls
rolling pin/empty wine bottle, yes I'm a lush
a mixing spoon or a whisk
baking tray
baking tray
- Cook your potatoes. When they're almost done, throw your peas in (if they're frozen) for the last minute or so of cooking. Strain and rinse with cold water. You're going to need to cut these up so you'll need to cool them enough to protect your fingers.
- Make your dough. Add your flour, cumin and salt to your mixing bowl and give it a whisk. Add your oil and rub it through the flour. It will start to clump up and form some sort of sticky dough-mess. Slowly add water while you knead until you've got something that resembles bread dough - smooth and not too tough.
- Dice your onion and dice your potatoes small enough that they look like they belong in a samosa... roughly into 1-2 cm pieces. Add your peas.
- **Whenever I'm cooking indian food I always toast my spices first. If you'd like to toast your spices just stick them in a frying pan over medium high heat and pay close attention. Give them a couple shakes once you start to really smell them and then remove them from the heat.** Add your spices to your potato mixture and give it a few stirs so that it's all coated nicely.
- Preheat your oven to 425.
- Divide your dough into two sections and form into balls. Rollllllllllllllll each ball until it's nice and thin. The thinness of the dough generally depends on my patience level, but it should be roughly 2-3 mm thick. Remember - the thinner you get the dough, the farther it will go. This means more samosas.
- Cut your dough into sections. I usually try and make 3 inch x 3 inch squares. Now get ready for the stuffing. Take one square of dough. Bring two diagonal corners together and seal (you might need to moisten your fingers) along the LONG side. You should have a little cone-pocket. Stuff this cone-pocket (that's the technical term) with your potato mix and then seal/smoosh the open flap down onto the rest of your samosa. This will likely be a very ugly samosa. Don't worry, the ugly ones taste just as good as the pretty ones. Repeat until you are out of dough or out of potato mix.
- Arrange your samosas on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes. EAT THEM. Eat them with lots of mango chutney. I'm making a new batch of cilantro chutney so once I do, I'll pay attention to my measurements and then I'll post the recipe.
|Yum yum yum! Look what you made!

If you are going to play a musical instrument around 1 month, then you could select the Ukulele. In the Ukulele, you will master three chords and you will impress your friends with an unforced explode of a song.
Buy a ukulele first
Of course, you need to buy a ukulele first, to begin with the playing. I am sure that you will look for the best ukulele brand in the first place. It is not wrong, but you should also consider other factors such as price, size, type, and so on.
A soprano ukulele is probably the most popular size of the ukulele and most novices can try to play.
I highly recommend the geared tuning pegs which stick out of the side of the ukulele first. Then, you can try another thing of the ukulele which is the friction pegs in the back of the instrument.
The geared pegs are much easier to handle than the other one. In other words, you should also learn how to control the ukulele after purchasing.
Begin with the three basic notes
Getting your ukulele in tune is extremely crucial because if you skip this part, the sound of the ukulele will be terrible. And you will not have the inspiration to continue the playing process anymore. You will give up! Thus, you should draw attention to this point.
Typically, there are several ways to tune a ukulele up and the most popular tuning is GCEA. The string closest to your nose is tuned to a G note which the one place in the above middle C. Then, you should move away from your nose to tune the E and the A note.
To tune each string, you should bend the tuning peg which the string is attached to. Tightening the string will take the note increases while lose it will make the note turns down. Imagine that you twang a rubber band or something like that.
You should select an electronic tuner which is available at any music instrument shop nowadays. You clip it onto the head of the ukulele and you can feel the string when you pick off in tune.
If your ukulele has friction pegs only, then you could find the screws in the back of the pegs and you also need to tighten and stop the strings from slipping. You should take a screwdriver and narrow them in order to twist the peg and firmly stays in the right place when you start playing.
Please keep in mind that all ukuleles go out of tune, so if you hear something wrong in the sound, you need to check your tuning again.
Play it now!
If the right hand is yours, you should keep the neck of the ukulele by your left hand to strum the strings with your right.
Similarly, if you are left-handed, remain the neck with your right hand and strum with the left hand.
You can sit down to play or stand up and tuck the body of the ukulele under your forearm.
Also, you should take your right forefinger and touch it across the strings. This should be sound great. In fact, you have played your first chord only which is called an "A Minor 7th", so you ought to feel happy with yourself for the first time.
Some gurus do not agree with the thing that other players use a plectrum. Generally, these are who love to hang their ukuleles on the wall and they do not play the instrument regularly. The truth is that you are able to use your fingers or a plectrum to play the ukulele.
In case you want to use a plectrum, you should take a hard guitar which is not a floppy plastic one because they can sound weird.
Consider the chord boxes
Using chord boxes is a good idea to improve your playing. Chord boxes can display you where you should put your fingers to create a chord. Additionally, the vertical lines show the strings and the horizontal lines express the frets.
If this does not work, you should place a finger on the third fret of the top A string which is the furthest ones from your nose. It is also called a C chord. If you compare this point to the chord box, it will work.
It would be better if you enable to learn how to use your third finger for this chord because it makes adjusting chords easier.
Eventually, this is a tremendous chord to identify because you are able to use it a lot during the playing time. Also, it is too easy to start.
Play on the beat
When you play music, it is necessary to play on the beat. Most common music has 4 main beats in every bar. This is the reason you should hear someone saying "A-one, 1-one, two, three, four" to count an interesting tune.
Selecting the ukulele to feel the strings and touch the music is a smart choice for those who want to begin with a musical instrument. You can learn how to beat, how control three basic notes and the price is reasonable. Go ahead with the ukulele now!

Do you have an AC that needs to be repaired and you are looking for the best AC repair in Frisco, Texas?
During the hot days of summer, no other appliance is more important to us than our AC. It cools our bodies and makes our homes comfortable. However, due to the extreme heat and the length of time that we use it, it may break down.
Before going to a repairman and having your AC fixed, if you are willing to spend at least $50, try to fix it yourself first using these easy to follow steps:
- Confirm that the issue isn't related to the furnace
Before doing anything else, we need to see if the problem lies in the furnace. This is because if the problem is caused by a malfunctioning furnace, it is better for you to consult an AC repair in Frisco rather than trying to fix it yourself.
In order to check if the furnace is working select the A/C mode on your thermostat and reduce the temperature. Check if the fan starts. If it does, your furnace is working. However, if the fan does not start, you can try to reset the circuit breaker.
You can also check the parts outside of your house and look for the condensing unit. It is the part of your AC that is outside the house and normally will start sounding like a fridge. The compressor inside is what makes the noise, so if it is silent, then the problem may relate to the condenser. If it is, then it would be better for you to look for an AC repair in Frisco, Texas.
- Get the replacement parts
There are two parts that are oftentimes the main culprit in your situation. They are called a relay, and the start/run capacitor. These parts are generally cheap, and even if in the end the problem lies somewhere else, it will still benefit your AC greatly if your unit is older than five years.
You can get the proper replacement parts at an appliance store, furnace dealer, or through an online marketplace. Get the make, serial number, and model of your unit before purchasing the parts. They are generally found at the nameplate in your furnace. You can also look for parts from an AC repair in Frisco, Texas or wherever repair shop you prefer.
- Proceed on replacement
Once you have the parts with you, go ahead and replace the old parts with the ones you just bought. You will need a variety of tools to accomplish this task, such as a magnet for storing screws and a Philips screwdriver to remove the parts
If you have followed these steps and your AC still does not work, then it is time for you to let the experts take charge. If you are looking for the best AC repair shop in Frisco, check out Air Repair Pros. They have been in the business of repairing AC's for more than 38 years now and have fixed thousands of units. They are certified by the EPA and are the best in providing quality services for residential houses in Frisco, Texas and the rest of the surrounding are.

But Charlotte does have an intriguing group of ethnic restaurants. They're not bunched up, although Central Avenue is an extraordinarily diverse street. The interiors of these eateries may not be much to look at -- in fact, they may be a bit shabby, albeit in a charming way. But let your fork boldly go forth. Here are a few dishes around town not to be missed:
At the La Canasta Dominicana Restaurant, you'll find a cheerful, family-owned restaurant celebrating the simple foods of the island nation of the Dominican Republic. At the heart of Caribbean island food are plantains, root vegetables, and tubers, known as viandas. None of these are new to Charlotteans who've been in any local produce section recently. The most traditional dish in the DR is Sancocho, a stew with impossibly tender oxtails, chicken, plantains, yucca, potato and malanga, all steeped in a gently spiced, rich brown sauce and served with a gargantuan mound of white rice. Yum. La Canasta Dominicana Restaurant, 4808 Central Avenue. 704-536-0009.
Not having a Paper Masala Dosai, available at Woodlands, is like not ever trying a foot-long hot dog. This is a wondrous dish: a two-foot-long thin rice crepe, much wider than the plate beneath it, loosely wrapped around a spicy mix of potatoes, onions and nuts. Woodlands Pure Vegetarian South Indian Cuisine, 7128-A Albemarle Road. 704-569-9193.
At the Red Sea, go for the beef chili and chicken legs, though they're not called that. Any chili lover would enjoy the zegenie, described on the menu as a beef stew, but it tastes more like Western style chili with clarified butter. This dish delivers multidimensional taste and the heat dissipates with a few bites of injera, the spongy bread upon which it is dished. Also good are the chicken legs, doro wat, coated with a velvety heated sauce which also permeates the accompanying hard-boiled eggs. Red Sea Restaurant and Bar, 206 East Independence Blvd. 704-375-4999.
Ben Thanh may not look like much on the outside, but inside lies extraordinary food from a family that has been serving Vietnamese food in Charlotte since 1990. One of the best dishes here is the Vietnamese crepe, Banh Xeo, a large yellow rice flour pancake filled with shrimp, tender pork slices, onions, and bean sprouts served with a dish of large sprigs of holy basil, cilantro, mint and a sweet/sour sauce. Ben Thanh Vietnamese Restaurant, 4900 Central Avenue. 704-566-1088.
At Restaurant y Taqueria La Unica, expect a strange look from your server if you only order one taco. Look around and you'll notice servers delivering large platters of five or six tacos to a plate to the neighboring tables. The tacos here are the two soft corn tortillas augmented with grilled onions and flavorful cilantro. La Unica is known for the Al Pastor Taco, a taco filled with seasoned pork that is grilled vertically (like gyros), then sliced off. The results are sensational, and speaking Spanish is helpful here. Restaurant y Taqueria La Unica, 2801 Central Avenue. 704-347-5115.

The Conference Event Design Build-Up
Posted by HvassHannibal on August 28th 2014 in Projects
After a long silence, we are back on the blog! Last week we finished our work for The Conference in Malmö, for which we first designed the visual identity, and then continued on to designing the main event, a two-day conference, which took place last week. We created stage design, interior, badges, visuals and signage plus outfits for the conference's team of volunteers. Kristoffer Juel Poulsen came and documented part of the process of setting up the event in this little film:
The hanging wooden shapes were cut and painted by Trine Møller Pedersen. And big thanks to Sara Davis and Mia Stangertz who took part in setting up.

- Data transferred reliably and rapidly
- Next-generation HF provides connection in satellite-denied environments
- Demonstration complete, HF optimization studies continue
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (Sept. 18, 2017) - Rockwell Collins, under contract to the Air Force Research Laboratory Information Directorate (AFRL/RI; contract FA8750-16-C-0269) and in support of AFRL/RI and Air Combat Command's efforts to successfully communicate in satellite-denied environments, recently demonstrated the resilience of next-generation high frequency (HF) communications using a wideband high frequency (WBHF) system over a 5,000 mile distance.
Over the course of 30 days, Rockwell Collins' next-generation HF network reliably and rapidly passed data files of various sizes up to 1 megabyte. The demonstration, which showed significant improvement over standard satellite and legacy HF systems, also tested 'store and forward' split site capabilities, which is a foundational element of next-generation HF networks.
"Communications technology that can reliably transfer data files quickly over massive distance gives our military operations a great advantage when executing missions in a denied environment," said Troy Brunk, vice president and general manager, Communication, Navigation & Electronic Warfare Systems for Rockwell Collins. "We are pleased with the outcome of this demonstration and look forward to seeing the system provide our forces with a cost effective option for resilient over-the-horizon communications."
Next-generation HF is a highly reliable solution for the transfer of data and secure, clear voice, which complements traditional SATCOM communications in denied environments. The technology leverages current HF system infrastructure to create an easily upgraded HF solution with performance previously not available.
The program will continue exploring the optimum network configuration and waveform technologies for this HF application. Leveraging next-generation HF technologies, like WBHF, allows for HF networks to become a future force enhancer.

«It will be a five-star hotel located right at the airport. According to our calculations, the investments will exceed 3.2 billion rubles, and given that DME is one of Russia's largest airports, the demand for accommodation is expected to be consistently strong», — said Mr. Andrey Nazarov, Board Chair at Granel Group.

Can you believe that were in the double digits of May? Spring is flying by, and while I hate to see my favourite season pass by in the blink of an eye, I'm super excited for what summer will bring.
Summer 2014 was an eventful one, taking us back up to Alaska, with a pit stop in Seattle on the way home. This summer will be equally exciting in terms of wanderlust. We have a big family trip planned, but I can't tell you where we're going. Not because I don't want to, but because I actually have no idea where we're going. As a celebration of my dad's upcoming retirement, my parents are taking me, my siblings and our significant others on a 'mystery vacation'. We're almost t minus 2 months from departure and the suspense is killing me!
Aside from this exciting trip, we'll be carrying on the tradition of our annual camping trip to Algonquin Provincial Park with family and friends and hopefully many trips to the Lake. Maybe even throw in a scuba diving trip or two, if
my husband completes his certification we're lucky.
T.O. & fro's Small Town sponsors share my travel itch. This month, I have five lovely ladies sharing their spring/summer travel plans. [Interested in being a part of the T.O. & fro's monthly sponsor spotlight? Learn more about the Small Town ad space here.]
Where is your spring/summer wanderlust going to take you?
Do you have any spring or summer travel plans?
A pretty big roadtrip is coming up in the next couple of months that I've been planning for months! I don't want to jinx it by talking about it too much, but its a lot of national and state parks + a major city I've wanted to visit for a long time!

Featured Book: Power and Tender by Margret Russell
By 1920 Ben Alton was a supreme boatman of Virginia, but he still dreamed of becoming a coastal pilot. He knew that his own lineage through the preceding centuries narrowed his chances, though. Pilot appointments went to the sons of pilots, men who had never stooped their backs to scratch out a living in the soil. When Ben qualified to apply for a federal appointment, he was ecstatic, and he scored perfectly on the theory examination. When he was disqualified on the physical, Ben was devastated. Fate had made the choice between the sea and the soil for him. The United States had lived in its own world for more than a century after the Revolution, but in the year 1910 the Panama Canal opened the floodgates of international trade rights for foreign competition in armament and commerce. Political polices changed and corporations, not agriculture, began to be favored. A financial and cultural decline began for grass roots agronomy. Power And Tender is authentic historical fiction at its best as veteran author Margret Russell tells of one man's journey through the turbulent era that set the stage for a society that today has shifted so dramatically from its agricultural roots in the nineteenth century.
A native Virginian, Margret Russell's credits include MALS at Dartmouth College and Citation screenwriting with Stephen Geller of Geller Studios. The author has participated at Bread Loaf and at Old Dominion's writing classes, has lead writers' workshops and has researched the history of northern New England. Because the unusual story of Power And Tender may seem even more authentic and more rounded than the present era, it shines with the great appeal of fully conceived historical fiction.

Brad Pitt has been excused from jury duty in Los Angeles because a judge considered the movie star too much of a distraction.
The actor was reportedly ready and willing to perform his civic duty as a juror, but he has been dismissed from the selection pool of an upcoming case.
Los Angeles attorney William Lively tells MailOnline.com, "You just can't stick Brad Pitt in a jury box and expect 11 jurors to ignore him. It's only natural that those jurors would be watching to see how Brad reacts to what's being said and that they could be influenced by his opinions once the jury goes behind closed doors to render a verdict.
"It's one of those things where (it's like), 'We're not going to use you because it's going to end up being about you'."
A source adds, "Brad was hoping he might get picked to serve on a short case, but the problem was, he would actually be required to serve for as long as it took for the case to be decided."

Organic farm plans ripe for the picking
Agriculture and social enterprise heavyweights are set to gather in Hervey Bay today to discuss plans for Australia's first community-based organic farm.
Neighbourhood Park Estate developer Russell Geldard will be joined by founder of Organic Farm Share Alf Orpen and world renowned permaculture, teacher, designer and consultant Geoff Lawton in a bid to share his vision to start a shared organic farm which will have the potential to provide Hervey Bay residents with locally grown, affordable, fresh produce.
Mr Geldard said he had been considering the farming project for a number of years.
Yet, it wasn't until he made contact with Mr Orpen and Mr Lawton this year that he was able to fully comprehend the feasibility and potential the project would have for an area like Hervey Bay.
Having earmarked an initial allotment for the farm within Neighbourhood Park Estate, Mr Geldard said the not-for-profit initiative could have the potential to feed up to 40 families – though in the long-term, the scope of the farm would only be limited by "how far we can dream".
As well as improving the land and soil quality of the area being farmed, Mr Geldard said the program's "self-generation" model would see all funds directed back into the farm to help it grow and expand.
Reflecting on Hervey Bay's population and the easy routes for people to transport produce around town, Organic Farm Share founder Alf Orpen said the area was an ideal location for community farming.
With world population statistics indicating a need to double food production over the next 30 years, Mr Orpen believes addressing how we meet that requirement is crucial.
If the model for the first organic farm in Hervey Bay is successful, he is confident its blueprint could be used by communities across the globe.
Mr Orpen and Mr Geldard are inviting anyone who may have an interest in organic farm share to head along to a public discussion which will be held at the Hervey Bay Community Centre today, Thursday, September 18 from 4pm until 5.30pm.
