Garbage Disposal
If you're looking to keep your garbage disposal in good shape in your Lansing IL home, check out these four tips from Reichelt Plumbing.
- Use plenty of water. Every time you run your disposal, turn on the cold water and let it run for a bit after you turn it off to carry remnants down and out of your disposal.
- Use cold water. While hot water won't damage the parts, cold water is better while running the disposal.
- Avoid hard or fibrous foods. Disposals are for foods that grind into bits and pieces easily. Hard seeds, popcorn kernels, peach stones, apple seeds, or bones don't grind very well, if at all.
- Clean the inside. Over time, it is natural for sludge to build up on the sides and blades of your appliance. It is best to avoid using harsh chemicals since they can damage the parts of your device.
Installation Bathroom
As a Lansing IL homeowner, keeping an eye on some routine plumbing maintenance around your home can save you big bucks down the road. Clogged drains are the most common home plumbing problem. So avoid clogs by watching what goes down your drains. That means keeping food scraps out of kitchen drains, hair out of bathroom drains, and anything but sewage and toilet paper out of toilets. Learn where your home's main water shut-off valve is—so if there's ever a leak, you can go straight there and quickly turn off the water to the entire house. As a rule, if something seems off or changes suddenly, give us a call and we'll be happy to schedule a time to look at your plumbing.
Faucet Repair Plumbing
If you're looking to try and repair a leaky faucet in your Lansing home, we at Reichelt Plumbing wanted to put together some steps to help you out.
- Turn off the water and remove the handle
- Remove the bonnet, and ball, and cam assembly
- Remove the springs
- Remove the O-rings and diverter
- Replace O-rings and reassemble
- Attached the spout
If you have questions about any of these steps or you're still having problems, give our experienced and trained technicians a call. We'll be happy to help.

Our trained professionals take your time seriously. We'll schedule a service time that works for you and arrive prepared and ready to repair your plumbing leak.
About Lansing, IL
Henry, George, and John Lansing settled Lansing in 1846, and the town was incorporated in 1893. The village was made up mostly of Dutch and German immigrants. The Pennsylvania Railroad came through the town in 1856, and since Lansing is located on a sand ride, the railroad began hauling sand to Chicago. The sand was then used in building construction. In 1860 the railroads and farms were the only industries there, and Lansing had a saloon, grocery store, shoemaker, and two blacksmiths at the time as well. Today the downtown business district now sits on the former sand pit.

vegan egg mcmuffin!14October 15th, 2009follow your heart, LA restaurants
…well, not really. but it sure reminded me of one. what i'm talking about here is lorenzo's tofu eggwich at follow your heart.
on a recent trip to FYH, i was jonesing for a burger. unable to order any of follow your heart's veggie burgers because the buns contain honey (even though the menu claims they are vegan-optional…for some reason), i scanned the menu for other options. hiding out in the appetizer section, i found the meal i was looking for: a tofu eggwich that sounded a lot like an egg mcmuffin…but better, with added vegetables.
the english muffin came stacked with a tofu patty, pastrami wheatmeat, vegenaise, avocado and tomato. served with a generous portion of crinkly fries and costing under 7 bucks, this thing was a bargain! not just was it a good deal, but it tasted awesome too. the patty and wheat meat were perfectly salty, and nicely rounded out by the cool, creamy avocado and vegenaise. the english muffin was warm and toasty, while the tomato was cold and fresh. fucking delicious, all of it!
i honestly don't know what this tofu eggwich is doing in the appetizer section of the menu. it makes a fine main course for one person, and i may just call it one of the best little vegan sandwiches in los angeles. get over and try this thing when you have a chance. it's hearty, tasty, and it won't break the bank.
why don't more restaurants in los angeles have vegan egg mcmuffins?!

I just order their veggie burgers on the sandwich bread. I love their burgers, so it's worth doing.
I will try that sandwich next time I'm in LA. Thanks for the heads up!
i love the "soy o sage muffin" at orean in pasadena . without the cheese of course.. it totally reminds me of a little breakfast samich . mmmm
i think i've found my lunch for today! mmmmmm.
that is one of my faves!!! 😀
That's one of my favorites at FYH (of course, mine is sans avocado)!
want. now please.

The eggwich is the best thing at Follow Your Heart.
big fan of Lorenzo

Only $6.95? For the big plate of food? Bargain!
Veggiegirl70 October 28th, 2009 at 18:44
If you loved that you have to go on a Wednesday night. They prepare the most amazing vegan dinner conists of specially prepared sauces etc.
Each part of the meal blends well with the other. I know that i am not doing the Chef any justice. I can't find the words to describe my Wednesday night experience/s…except for !sounfrigginbelievablyamazing,youwillslapyourmama!
Don't take my word for it.
Theresa AKA SleeplessInSimi February 14th, 2010 at 21:13
I am totally obsessed with this sandwich! I need to find out what is in the Tofu Paddy and how they make it! Any ideas out there?
Gauri Radha July 6th, 2010 at 14:31
I must order this Lorenzo business next time I go. My gosh that looks good.
I finally drove out to FYH as I was meeting a friend in the area the other day and I liked the place a lot. My waitress was so nice too. Lovely experience.
I look forward to sampling more of their vegan menu items soon 😀
Screwdriver October 26th, 2010 at 11:06
Well, just had a Lorenzo's Tofu Eggwich….pretty damn awesome. I can see getting addicted to these things. Funny, that I have been going to FYH since the 1970's as a kid…work about three miles away…used to live across the street and never had one of these.
Gauri Radha गौरी राधा September 9th, 2011 at 13:16
Finally made it back to FYH and tried this, it was good.
I was rather full or I would've ordered one of their vegan desserts. The carrot cake, cheesecake and fruit torte all looked scrumptious.
I want to try the other vegan items from their breakfast menu next time I stop by, they sound delicious.

This document describes how to run the x86-64 OpenWrt images in VirtualBox, or VB for short.
gzip -d openwrt-x86-64-combined-ext4.img.gz
VBoxManage convertfromraw --format VDI openwrt-x86-64-combined-squashfs.img openwrt-x86-64-combined-squashfs.vdi
You can compile your own image (Target System → x86-64 and Target Images → Build VirtualBox image files).
ext4 needs to be enabled first.
If you receive an error similar to
VBoxManage: error: VD: The given disk size 19444018 is not aligned on a sector boundary (512 bytes) VBoxManage: error: Error code VERR_VD_INVALID_SIZE at /Users/vbox/tinderbox/5.1-mac-rel/src/VBox/Storage/VD.cpp(7002) in function int VDCreateBase(PVBOXHDD, const char *, const char *, uint64_t, unsigned int, const char *, PCVDGEOMETRY, PCVDGEOMETRY, PCRTUUID, unsigned int, PVDINTERFACE, PVDINTERFACE) VBoxManage: error: Cannot create the disk image "openwrt.vdi": VERR_VD_INVALID_SIZE
you may need to pad the image with
dd if=openwrt-x86-64-combined-squashfs.img of=openwrt.img bs=128000 conv=sync and use the padded image as input to VBoxManage convertfromraw.
$ VBoxManage modifymedium openwrt-x86-64-combined-squashfs.vdi --resize 128 0%...10%...20%...30%...40%...50%...60%...70%...80%...90%...100%
Tutorial and screenshots from VirtualBox 5.1.8 on Linux host, on Windows or macOS hosts there will be some cosmetic differences (a different top bar) but the VirtualBox panels and buttons will be exactly the same
Start VirtualBox and click New to add a virtual machine (VM)
Choose a Name for your virtual machine, choose
Linux for Type, and
Linux 2.6 / 3.x / 4.x (64-bit) for Version, then click Next.
OpenWrt will work fine with much less RAM than the recommended amount, 128 MiB will be enough.
Choose Use an existing hard disk file, click the file icon to open Virtual Media Manager, click Add and choose your
.vdi file using the file chooser window. Click Create to end this guided procedure.
It's recommended to place the disk image in a permanent place before linking it with VB. If you move it afterwards, VB will not find it anymore and will complain about this issue on next start (or when you try to start the VM). It will offer a guided procedure to link the disk image again, so don't worry.
This part of the configuration will deal with setting up networking manually.
The configuration you will set up by following this tutorial is:
Note that the order of the "Host-only Adapter" as "Adapter 1" and "NAT" as "Adapter 2" is important for turn-key operation of OpenWrt in the VM. While it can be configured using the console, configuration in this way simplifies getting to a running configuration.
we first need to make sure there is a Host-only network adapter and that it has the right settings
Note: this is found in VB 6.0 (at least for Windows) under Tools, and is pre-configured.
Click on File → Preferences → Network
On macOS, this setting may be found through File > Host Network Manager…
Click on Host-only Networks tab and then if you don't see a vboxnet0 entry click on the + icon on the right of the window to add a new one.
Now select the vboxnet0 entry, and click on the screwdriver icon on the right to open its settings.
IPv4 Address should be 192.168.56.1, IPv4 Network Mask should be 255.255.255.0, IPv6 Address should be empty and IPv6 Network Mask should be 0
(optional) you can also set the DHCP server as shown in the screenshot if you want to have dynamic addresses to the VM, but for this tutorial it is not required as we set a static address in the VM itself
Press OK to save and close until you are back to VirtualBox Manager interface again.
Due to limitations, the keyboard in the virtual machine's terminal is set to US, so some (or most) of your keys may not print the symbols as indicated by the keycaps.
Also, due to the fact that what you see there is a bare machine terminal and not a smart thing like a SSH program (Putty/Kitty/whatever) or a terminal emulator program, you cannot copy-paste text into it.
Don't worry, most of the setup will be done after you are connected with SSH (remote terminal) that does not have any of these issues.
Look at this US keyboard layout to find what button you need to press on your keyboard to generate the right symbol.
random: crng init done with OpenWrt 17.01.4). Until there is sufficient entropy, SSH and other cryptographic functions may fail.

The Tyrell Corporation (Alden Tyrell) has been banging out some out the most inventive music over the last few years and this track is a prefect example. 'Together Alone' is like New wave//italo crossover it has a bassline like a speedboat, and unlike most modern interpretations of this new wave scene they manage to encapsulate the vibe and aesthetic so many fail to achieve. Some would say….Its like what joy division would have sounded like…….ummm

This is a shitty vinyl rip, dont be a c*nt and pick it up from clone :)

A delightful and popular vitola, this robusto is a hidden gem within the D'Crossier family. This well cut, unblemished cigar is suitable for the beginner because it has a pleasant aroma, is not too strong and never leaves a meaty aftertaste. The intermediate and seasoned smoker will be drawn to it because of subtle complexities in taste and aroma: leather, caramel and black pepper comingle in a generous and smooth smoke. The beautiful wrappers of Colorado-claro enclose a skeleton of fine construction, ensuring the draw and burn of this format will compare to thicker hand-rolled cigars. This is truly one of the most pleasurable and conveniently proportioned smokes in the world of cigars.
Vitola: Robusto
Ring Guage: 50
Lenght: 4 7/8"
Package Count: Box of 25 Cigars
Flavor: Mild
Wrapper: Ecuador
Binder:Costa Rica
Filler: Costa Rica & Dominican Republic

Uncharted & The Last Of Us: Beauty Is No Substitute For Good Gameplay
There is a new trend in gaming that has been growing over the last few years, festering and breeding with itself like some sort of disgusting toxic bacteria that has somehow managed to take control of peoples minds and convince them its actually something wonderful and innovative. I am of course referring to the trend of skimping on gameplay and content in favour of pretty (yet ultimately pointless) scenery and set-pieces. Many game studios have adopted this trait in their recent titles, yet the focus here will be on Naughty Dog, developers of the Uncharted series, due to their persistent forgetfulness in how theyre supposed to be making video-games and not interactive films. Now before you skip the rest of the article and start complaining, tell me if this sounds familiar: You stand on a mountain road looking out over a vast landscape. Its beautiful, divine, full of detail and life and excitement, somewhere youd give anything to explore, to experience the glorious treasures it has to offer. You then look back at the playable area. Its a five foot wide path that you have to follow in a straight line (or in the more interesting sections, a slightly curvy line) before reaching a climbing section identical to all the other 15,000 climbing sections in the game, excluding the differing pretty backgrounds. You complete that, massacre a group of faceless soldiers, then walk in another straight line until you get to another climbing section or massacre spot, maybe passing another awe inspiring background as you go. This, my friend, is not the mark of a good game. All these pretty backdrops work as no more than extremely expensive wallpaper, providing the illusion that you are playing in an intricate world while you are in fact repeating the same three or four repetitive tasks over and over again. The second two Uncharted games, along with EAs Dead Space 3, lack original plot, likable characters, and diversity in their gameplay, yet the developers expect to get away with it because of theyve included attractive scenery in the distance. And you know whats the most depressing part about it? They do. Now, you may not see any problem with using flashy scenery to get people interested, and youre right, theres no problem with that at all. If youre making a film! In films the key component is how everything looks, with the details being necessary to convince us the characters are part of a fluid world we only get a taster of in our 90 minutes spent with them. In video-games, which can come in anywhere between six and 100 hours, that is not the case. Players have control of the lead character, they are not simply watching someone go about their business with no influence over their actions. When a background shows the image of a great big world were not allowed to explore it can only harm immersion, pointing out to intelligent players that their characters world is but a mirage, as the area theyre physically capable of accessing is an exiguous woodlouse compared to the provocative dragon that is land portrayed beyond. This reminds players that they are playing a tech boys creation and not taking part in the world of an explorer, a realisation capable of ruining even the greatest gaming experience. This is less of an issue with Dead Space 3, as Isaacs exploration of space at the games beginning does make players feel like they are part of a huge galaxy rather than just a man stood looking at a massive green screen. However, there is another problem caused by this environmental showboating that is far more severe.
Although the budgets of AAA games are well into the millions, rendering extravagant and meaningless backdrops is a huge waste of money, money that could be spent on improving the players experience. The only way developers can then justify the amount of cash theyve spent on these metaphorically cheap aesthetics is by shoving them down our throats, taking the camera out of our control to focus in on an exploding bridge seventy feet away or, in the case of GOW Ascension, zooming out two and a half miles to show us all the pretty details we might have otherwise missed. It might be justifiable to do this once in a game when nothings going on, but Ascension is happy to do it even when players are in the middle of a fight, making it nigh on impossible to even see what the character being controlled is doing. Similarly I have very distinct memories from Uncharted 2 of climbing up an enormous dagger before having to move along a very thin walkway and jump onto a giant face (sounds much more surreal that it is). The problem was that, as Drake (the lead) approaches the area where the jump needs to be made, the camera goes above his head to show you the room below, forcing you to take the jump blindly as the face disappears from sight, with each miss resulting in death and another long climb up the phallic blade. When a feature of a game stops being interesting and starts becoming an active hindrance to gameplay, should it not be removed? There is no reason to add extravagances like these into any game, with the success of titles like the outstanding Portal 2, a game set almost exclusively in a series of grey rooms, proving how just one witty line or fun game mechanic is worth more to enjoyment than ninety of Uncharteds collapsing buildings. This isnt the fashion industry, Naughty Dog, you cant just turn up looking all nice and automatically get a big well done and a smiley face sticker despite not actually doing anything. If you want to create pretty scenery then go work on a James Cameron film, at least there you wont be distracting from the positive points about your product. Saying that, Naughty Dogs latest video-game equivalent of fire-works, The Last Of Us, seems to be exciting many idiots with its shiny colours and loud noises, so the market for these sorts of games will probably be sticking around for at least a few more years (or until we remove all the warning labels from things and they all poison themselves by drinking bleach). Perhaps I'm being too harsh there, but it is concerning just how popular Uncharted has become. With studios struggling to make money it is a very real fear that quality could soon be sacrificed across the board in an attempt to make games more cinematic, as going main-stream and appealing to a broader audience is how many scared companies think they will survive. EA recently showed this not to be true with Dead Space 3, abandoning their core audience for a more action like feel and effectively killing the franchise with reduced sales figures, but fear is not a rational emotion and whether the industry will learn from this mistake is yet to be made clear.

text: Isabeli Fontana @ Women (NY), Silent (Paris) We found the title on one this story's pages and found quite appropriate to pair it with our entry. Just looked-up again to the expression's possible meanings or the similar words you can find and one of those was freewheeling.

About 30 miles up the road a worker at the airport stumbled across something rather special, the 2009 Corvette SS prototype. The article states it was being shipped over to Germany for testing.
Now I don't know about you, but given the opportunity that this individual was faced with, I think I would have probably did the same thing he did. After snapping some pictures, I'd take this baby for a spin around the parking lot. I mean seriously, if you're working in the loading docks at an airport, do you really think you'll ever be able to afford a 650+ hp Corvette that is rumored to cost north of $100,000 when it comes out? This was a once in a lifetime chance, and this guy took the bull by the horns and went for a ride. Yeah, he lost his job, but years from now he'll be able to look back and tell stories of the time he took one of America's baddest super cars for a spin.
As for the car itself, the spy shots really don't show us much. The average Joe would say it's just some Corvette, as most of what makes it special lies under the skin. The shots that are floating all over the net now were obtained from Jalopnik. It seems that GM hasn't pressed charges, so the extent of his headaches may simply be the loss of his job. Given the fact he'd likely never in his life have a chance to drive such a car, I'm sure he can live with finding another $8 an hour or so job.

Gene Information
CHMP2A belongs to the chromatin-modifying protein/charged multivesicular body protein (CHMP) family. These proteins are components of ESCRT-III (endosomal sorting complex required for transport III) a complex involved in degradation of surface receptor proteins and formation of endocytic multivesicular bodies (MVBs). Some CHMPs have both nuclear and cytoplasmic/vesicular distributions and one such CHMP CHMP1A (MIM 164010) is required for both MVB formation and regulation of cell cycle progression (Tsang et al. 2006 [PubMed 16730941]).[supplied by OMIM Mar 2008]

Boston Marathon Runners Thwarted By Volcano
David Gray should be making his final preparations for his first Boston Marathon. Instead, he's stuck in hotel room in Brussels, Belgium, trapped in Europe by a massive ash cloud spewed from an Icelandic volcano that's caused hundreds of flight cancellations.
Gray is not the only runner in danger of not making it in time to run the 114th Boston Marathon on Monday. Boston Athletic Association officials say they have heard from about two dozen runners stranded in Europe, including Abdellah Falil, a Moroccan in the elite field who's waylaid in Paris.
Falil, who competed in the 10,000 meters at the Beijing Games, was supposed to arrive Wednesday, but now he's not expected until Saturday night at the earliest. The race is Monday.
Race officials said Friday that European participants who can't make it to Boston in time to pick up their race bibs this weekend can do so Monday morning.
Gray has tried everything to get out of Belgium. He's asked to be rerouted through Italy or Spain, figuring they were far enough south to avoid the ash cloud. But the only way he can get there is by train or rental car, and they are all booked.
"Boston is different," said Gray, a 41-year-old New Yorker and television commercial producer who's twice run the New York City Marathon. "It's not the biggest marathon in the number of runners as far as majors go, but as far as I am concerned, it's the best of the best, with the best runners, and it's a bit of a badge of honor to say you've run Boston."
He's also asked about flying out of Moscow, and going over the North Pole rather than the North Atlantic. All his efforts have failed.
"To have an act of God like this happen is really frustrating," said Gray, who had planned on meeting his wife and two young sons, who he has not seen in three weeks, in Boston.
"I was talking to my 3-year-old son, explaining about the volcano and why I wouldn't see him for a few more days, and he said, 'Daddy, why they can't they fix it?"'
Martin Cunningham, 47, of Bromley, England, said he has been waiting for a couple of days after British Airways sent him a tweet that his flight to Boston was canceled.
"I really set my heart on doing Boston after completing a marathon in Berlin last September," he said.
Cunningham said he has been training hard since December.
Late Friday, Cunningham said on Twitter that British Airways had canceled his Saturday flight and that he wouldn't be coming to Boston after all. "Game over," he tweeted.
The Boston Marathon isn't the only race affected by the volcano.
"We've got the exact same problem - runners can't make it to Vienna," said Andreas Maier, an organizer of Sunday's Vienna City Marathon.
And in soccer, Premier League referee Steve Bennett has been replaced for Saturday's Manchester derby between City and United after getting stranded in Romania at a training course.
He was due to fly back Friday. The Premier League said he was expected to referee the derby at Eastlands but has been replaced by Martin Atkinson.
In response to the flight delays, organizers in Boston have extended the traditional Sunday night check-in deadline, and may even allow check-in the day of the race.
"I've had bad luck traveling, but this is up there," Gray said.
This program aired on April 17, 2010. The audio for this program is not available.

A coalition of music groups has announced that its members will boycott all performances in Arizona to protest a tough new anti-immigration law there, and it has urged fans to sign a petition demanding the revocation of the legislation, which it calls "an assault on the U.S. Constitution."
The campaign, called the Sound Strike, has been organized by Zack de la Rocha, the lead singer of the rap metal band Rage Against the Machine, and is endorsed by English-language rock and rap performers like Massive Attack, Kanye West, Conor Oberst, Sonic Youth and Joe Satriani. But the signatories also include Spanish-speaking reggaetón artists and Los Tigres del Norte, perhaps the most popular and influential exponent of Mexican regional music in the United States.
In an open letter initiating the campaign, Mr. de la Rocha, whose father is Mexican-American, wrote, "Fans of our music, our stories, our films and our words can be pulled over and harassed every day because they are brown or black, or for the way they speak, or for the music they listen to." He added, "Some of us grew up dealing with racial profiling, but this law (SB 1070) takes it to a whole new low."
In comments published in Spanish on the Los Tigres del Norte Web site, the group said that the law, which is scheduled to go into effect in late July, had already created a climate of hostility against Hispanic residents of Arizona. "We've had occasion to travel there twice since it was approved, and you can feel a chilly climate from the moment of arrival at the airport," said Jorge Hernández, the group's lead singer and accordion player.
Even before the Sound Strike was announced, some Spanish-language performers had already canceled shows in Arizona or decided to skip the state during tours planned for this summer. According to a report in the music-industry publication Billboard this month, the rap and reggaetón artists Wisin & Yandel and Pitbull, and the Mexican regional music performers Jenni Rivera, Espinoza Paz and Conjunto Primavera, none of whom are listed on the Sound Strike manifesto, had earlier taken that action.
A picture credit on Friday with an article about a coalition of music groups that is boycotting performances in Arizona because of the state's new anti-immigration law misidentified the photographer. The picture of Zack de la Rocha, the lead singer of the rap metal band Rage Against the Machine, who is leading the boycott, was taken by Ethan Miller/Getty Images, not by Mark Higashino/IFC Films.

Mary Barber (cq) of East Jordan paints the front door -- complete with a mechanical doorbell -- as she and other volunteers with Preserve Historic Sleeping Bear work on repairing the Boekeloo Cabin in the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore between Frankfort and Empire on Thursday morning. The cabin was built as a homestead in the 1930s by the Cooper family, and was later owned by the Boekeloo family until the property became part of the National Park Service. The pond is a former cranberry bog the Boekeloo's filled in using a now dry canal they dug from the Platte River.

Q: Which sport was our men's Redon shoe inspired by? A: It's either (a) ice fishing, (b) windsurfing, or (c) martial arts. We'll give you a hint: this update to our popular Tergament shoe is sleek, streamlined...and not afraid of a little hand-to-hand combat.* Don't-mess-with-me styling and a grippy rubber outsole complete the look.
* That's "c," in case you were still wondering.

Dallas was a city I had never been to nor had a great desire to visit and within hours of arriving, I got lost while scouting venues for my job at Dinner Lab. But, luckily, those wrong turns lead me right into the Bishop Arts District, which is a little goldmine. With tiny shops all in a row punctuated by beautiful restaurants and not a recognizable brand or chain anywhere in site, I was in heaven!
Situated just south of Downtown Dallas, Bishop Arts District was the site of Dallas's busiest trolley stop in the 1930's and is now home to nearly 60 independently owned boutiques, cafes, galleries, and restaurants. Although it's only a couple blocks in each direction, it's jam-packed and crazy photogenic. The District is very walkable and can easily gobble up an entire day so park your car and wander freely.
Here are our travel tips for how to make the most of a visit to the Bishop Arts District:
Dude. This place is unreal. Former pastry chef, Katherine Clapner, creates iconic chocolate combinations that had me waiting in a line of devoted regulars for their generous free samples. They will literally let you sample any product in the store. It pays off handsomely – I left with no less than four of the FDA Chocolate "Salami" which is made up of figs, dates, almonds and of course chocolate that is then rolled in powdered sugar and packed like salami. I brought it to parties for months afterwards to rave reviews. Thank god they sell it online. Other standouts include Albatross Fudge (made with bleu cheese?!?) and the botanical infused Flower Child Truffle.
Tucked into a beautiful historic building, this quaint Italian restaurant serves hand crafted salumi and from scratch pastas. The menu changes frequently but standouts include porcini and ricotta francobolli, lamb and goat cheese polpette, and for dessert – farro pastiera with candied lemon peel and marigold mint gelato.
Handmade sweet pies made from all natural ingredients in flavors that change with the season. On my wish list? Ebony + Ivory – buttermilk chess pie with hazelnut spread and the Mellow Yellow – lemon chiffon pie with ginger snap crust.
Only open until 3pm every day, this picturesque brunch spot wows with dishes like duck chilaquiles, angry frito pie, and a wild boar chorizo and goat cheese scramble served in an iron skillet. On the sweeter side there's homemade beignets, banana cream pie french toast and pancakes in flavors like red velvet and gingerbread.
This fine dining southern spot serves up the usual suspects like fried green tomatoes, shrimp + grits, and meatloaf but steps it up a notch with dishes like mac + cheese crusted filet and bacon wrapped, jalapeno stuffed quail.
This hard cider brewing company or "cidery" is a great pit stop on a hot day. With close to ten different flavors of cider and catchy names like "Suicider" and "Cideways", refreshment comes easy here.
With an extensive wine list and great craft cocktails like the Rebel Yell (bourbon, hibiscus, cayenne), Spice Trade (vodka, pink peppercorn, blood orange and lime) and my favorite, RX (apple infused whiskey, aperol, lemon thyme honey) this spot is the perfect ending to a long day of walking around the District.
One of the newer kids on the block, this coffeehouse/bookshop occupies a refurbished 1940's bungalow that begs to be explored. They also serve an impressive variety of beers + cocktails if coffee isn't your thing.
Recently voted the best coffee in the area by the locals, this Latin coffeehouse also serves up sweet empanadas with ingredients like guava jelly, dulce de leche, and cream cheese.
Do we really need another candle shop? If they all looked like Society, then the answer would be a resounding yes. Candles galore, great vintage wares and divine but not overwhelming smells because they showcase their sample candles under bell jars. Brilliant.
Great spot to pick up the latest trends without doing too much damage to your bank account. Friendly staff and good variety. I left with a chic dress and some leggings for around $60. Score!
Lovely vintage shop named after the owner's fashionable grandmother, Zola's is very well curated with lots of inventory but not so much that you have to dig or claw your way through sardine packed racks - which in my book makes it perfect.
Be sure to stop in and take a peek in this floral shop and design studio. Beautiful décor, unique arrangements and their succulent selection make it worth a visit.
Perfect spot to drop off your man while you continue to explore the neighborhood. This barber shop uses the classic straight razor to groom their clients and even serves up some local brew whilst doing so.

Note: non-motorized watercraft would include canoes, kayaks, sailboats of all types, rowing sculls, stand up paddle boards, rafts etc. The subcommittee was made up of current BAC members and one non-BAC members who is pro-registration. Subcommittee Members included: BAC members Lisa Neal, Becky Bragg, Jessica Koelsch, Richard Jones, EJ Seguna, David Ray, Peggy Mathews, Bill Griswold, Jennifer Castle Field (resigned, not present). Non-BAC member, David Ray
At the September 14, 2006 meeting in St. Petersburg, the subcommittee took the below actions:
Non-motorized Watercraft Registration - In short, the Non-motorized vessel subcommittee voted to not recommend registration to the BAC. But, the BAC can still do what they want, the sub-committee only advises. So the issue is not dead! Check www.myfwc.com and click on boating for details.
The sub-committee did vote and pass the action to recommend to the BAC that everyone in a non-motorized vessel must have a Boater Safety Card. The current boater safety card is obtained by either approved on-site classes or on-line (approx. 2 hour class). Class information is available at http://myfwc.com/boating/safety/alt/education.htm. If this action is pursued it would mean that anyone paddling a watercraft (holding a paddle) including kids would have to a boating card. There were loud gasps from the motorboat contingency at the meeting when it was mentioned that children paddle! The outfitters could be affected by this tremendously. Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, 4-H, church youth groups, Royal Rangers, private and public school groups, County and City Summer Rec Programs will all have to make sure all their group participants have a boater safety card before planning any group activities. Tourists, in-state and well as out-of-state, will be required to have a boater card. No more spur of the moment paddle trips, no more walk-ins to your place of business, no more load up the family and hit the water for a day of relaxation. State Parks could be out of the paddle business. No card, no paddling. Only certain motorboaters are required to have cards, why make all the paddlers? Motorboaters including kids using motors under 10 horsepower aren't required to have a boater safety card.The PWC contingency reported that all PWC riders are required and tourists have to take a "short" test. Maybe the PWC riders need boater education a lot more than paddlers?
Other discussion included what watercraft would not be included in registration. According to FWC, water toys such as rafts, tubes, and floats would not be included. Anything that bathers would use on the beach, waterway, or pool. But, The Coast Guard definition of a vessel includes anything used for transportation on water with exceptions such as seaplanes.
Monroe County has passed a resolution against the registration of non-motorized watercraft. Perhaps everyone should take this issue to their county commissions especially the counties with Manatee Protections Plans. See Monroe County Resolution.
Note: The Subcommittee made its final recommendations to the BAC on December 7th, 2006 in Key Largo. The subcommittee has be disbanded. The recommendations were: no registration of non-motorized vessels and that the operators of non-motorized vessels should be required to complete a boater education safety class.

DACA or Undocumented Applicants
Stanford has actively supported the DREAM Act legislation since its introduction in 2001, which would enable undocumented students to continue their education and apply for citizenship. Stanford also supports Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), an executive action signed by former President Barack Obama, which allowed some undocumented individuals who entered the United States as children to remain in the country. We are among the more than 600 colleges and universities that have signed a letter in support of DACA.
Individuals who have been granted DACA at the time of application are eligible to apply and matriculate to Stanford Medicine. Additionally, individuals who have met all other requirements and are otherwise undocumented are permitted to apply and matriculate to Stanford Medicine.

It's no secret that Martha's Vineyard has been a premier New England destination for decades (anyone who's ever taken the ferry on a Friday can tell you that), and lately the Steamship Authority has had quite the time trying to accommodate the copious amounts of travelers back and forth. From notorious stars like Christina Aguilera, Lady Gaga, and many notable Presidents and members of Congress, anyone who's anyone knows that MV is the place to be if you're looking for a getaway. It's the kind of place where everyone still dresses themselves and their little ones to the 9's in their best Lilly Pulitzer (expect ALL of the Vineyard Vines pullovers and boat shoes), the shops and boutiques will find you something unique to bring home and brag about, and really there is not a bad view from anywhere you stand. It was no surprise when my co-host, Zoe Zandora, agreed to take a weekend with me to have this as our very first location for WMCT's newest segment "Out & About".
Follow us as we take you from the infamous light house on Lighthouse Beach to the vast orchards of Morning Glory Farms, and into Bad Martha's Brewery to go behind the scenes with their Head Brewer, Jacobi Reid.

Mars in Cancer
Mars in Cancer: May 15 – July 1
Holding onto Anger
Under the influence of Mars in Cancer, and depending on how this transit affects the other planets in your chart you may find yourself sitting on your anger, letting it build rather than expressing it immediately and directly. Even when the emotional dam bursts you may implode rather than explode.
At this time, you may feel you shouldn't express your anger openly so could turn it inward on yourself, which can lead to depression or other health problems, or you'll shift into passive-aggressive mode. That way, at least there'll be an outlet for your anger, murky as it might be.
Don't Take Everything Personally
There are certain steps you can take during this period to maximize the positive attributes of this transit. First of all, recognize that you are thin-skinned and this period will be over within a few weeks. If you find yourself getting offended easily, try to be a little less sensitive and don't take everything so personally, or so seriously.
Find an Outlet
When you feel angry at this time, find a way to express it clearly and directly, to the appropriate person. If writing is more comfortable than speaking, take that route. Also, keep a regular exercise routine, near water if you can. Most of all, don't sit on your anger or keep it bottled up inside. It's not good for you!

Trailers for blockbusters inevitably feature only the highlights: the dramatic moments, the belly laughs, the climaxes, the stars shown to best effect. So perhaps it is appropriate that the strike by actors in the United States running since May Day should have impinged on public consciousness mainly as a series of highlights and big names.
There have been the scenes with the world's best golfer and best basketball player. There has been the bare-breasted woman and the Devil.
A dispute over pay for actors doing commercials has cost them collectively an estimated $1 million a day, driven advertisers to film in Canada, South Africa, Mexico and Australia, and caused great bitterness between the symbiotic worlds of corporate America and the entertainment industry. But this strike, however lengthy and acrimonious, is only a trailer because the main feature, opening next summer, will not be about the subsidiary matter of commercials but threatens to shut down the entire film and television industry for months.
But first strikes first. The Screen Actors' Guild and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists called the current strike nearly six months ago to stop advertisers from altering their pay structure, by which they receive both a fee and 'residuals', payments made whenever a commercial in which the actor appears is reshown.
The unions argue that with only 1.4 per cent of the $400 billion spent annually on advertising going to the actors, the employers can well afford to retain the existing method of payment. The advertisers claim that with the growth of cable television and the internet the system of residuals is unworkable. They want a simple one-fee system that they claim would leave the actors better off.
The actors had hoped the strike would be short and sweet. In fact, it has been long and bitter. Part of the bitterness has been over the lack of coverage the dispute has received, only attracting national attention when someone famous is involved in it.
Last week it was Liz Hurley. In July, she had made a commercial for Estée Lauder in breach of the strike. She has issued profuse and sincere apologies - 'more mea culpas than a penitent at Lourdes', as Variety put it - explaining that she was unaware that she was strike-breaking. She has just made a $25,000 donation to the strikers and sent a formal letter of apology, but she is still to be summoned to explain herself.
There is no reason to doubt her word that it was an honest error, but this did not stop supporters of the strike from picketing the premiere of her new film Bedazzled in Los Angeles last Tuesday with signs reading 'Elizabeth Scably, U Make Me Hurl' and 'Beauty Fades, Honor Doesn't' and scrawling 'scab' over publicity posters. (The film is a remake of the 1967 Stanley Donen film Bedazzled, which starred Peter Cook as the Devil.)
The row over Estée Lauder gave the strike the prominence for a day or two that it has been able to achieve only fleetingly in similar incidents. When the commercials arm of RSA USA, British directors Ridley and Tony Scott's film company, ran a tasteless ad of an elderly, bare-breasted South African woman proclaiming that 'this is what SAG means in South Africa', and encouraging advertisers to shift film production to that country, all hell broke loose. The unions and many others were outraged. Neither Scott had known anything of the ad and were just as furious; the people responsible have since taken the long walk. When Tiger Woods made a car commercial and basketball star Shaquille O'Neal made a Disneyland ad, they were asked to explain themselves. Woods was unaware that by filming in Canada he was strike-breaking; O'Neal gave his fee to charity.
Equally, when stars have made appearances at rallies or donations to the strike there has been a flurry of coverage. Paul Newman, Richard Dreyfuss, Julia Roberts, Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins, Jason Robards, Tom Hanks and the cast of Frasier have all featured prominently in support of the strike. Last week it was John Travolta and Kelly Preston putting $25,000 in the kitty, and previous donors like Nicolas Cage ($200,000), Kevin Spacey, Helen Hunt and Harrison Ford (all $100,000) have all helped to keep the hardship fund going. But then this is an odd strike in that many of those at the low-paid end of the acting trade already survive by serving at tables, driving cabs and making jewellery.
Advertisers have been holding out, using non-union actors, crossing the border to film, resorting to old ads. The balance of power is not the same as for a normal strike - the advertisers are not losing money, as a car manufacturer or bus company would be; the only hardship is that their executives do not get to have their photos taken with famous actors who do ads for them.Talks have now resumed in New York and there are hopeful signs emerging. But next year's strike is the blockbuster. It will involve both actors and writers. This dispute is also over contracts signed by the actors' and writers' unions which are up for renewal next year - for the Writers' Guild of America on 1 May, for SAG on 1 July - and it is also over how people are reimbursed for work on cable and internet.
WHAT IS PUZZLING to many outside the industry is that the dispute is now regarded as inevitable and studios are frantically squirrelling away productions. People are accepting less than perfect terms for less than perfect scripts because they know that bad times are just around the corner.
The writers are also being told to prepare for a big stoppage. A newsletter to members warns: 'Now is not the time to be buying the biggest house or the nicest car you can afford. If you have a TV staff writing job, begin putting money away now. If you make a feature deal, bank every penny you can.'
This may seem like an American problem, but the American entertainment industry is now the world's entertainment industry. Of the top grossing films in Japan last week, nine were American, as was the case in Mexico and Spain. An all-out strike will make ripples all over the world.
At the party after the opening of Bedazzled in Los Angeles last week, part of the entertainment was a woman dwarf flagellating a man on a rack. So far, the actors and writers have not yet applied the screws, but someone is going to be on the rack by next summer.
And what they said about Liz's new film...
VARIETY: 'A wickedly witty performance... a lip-smacking, feline caricature of Joan Collins. Hurley takes an almost unholy delight in her own naughtiness, and her saving grace is her generosity: she permits the audience to have even more fun than she does.'
NEW YORK TIMES: 'Ms Hurley struts through her role with insouciant glee; her performance is a sneaky tribute to Mr [Peter] Cook's arch-English naughtiness, even as her get-up recalls Raquel Welch's cameo in the original film as the incarnation of lust.'
SALON: 'It might not measure up to the 1967 original, but now Satan's got sooty pussycat eyes and a kitten-cruel smile... You couldn't come up with a more perfect Luciferess than Elizabeth Hurley... a gleam in her eye that signals she's up for any kind of mischievous high jinks... It doesn't hurt that Hurley is pure pleasure to look at, pulling off one scrumptious visual joke after another.'

Vanderbilt announced the suspension of four players for a violation of team rules, seemingly connected to a sexual assault investigation into an incident that allegedly happened at a Vanderbilt dorm, at 5:30 p.m. Eastern on a Friday. The investigation began on Wednesday. That's SEC speed right there, boy!
Even worse: WKRN-TV reports that six other student-athletes are under investigation. It's another ugly incident for Vandy football in 2013, after one player stabbed a teammate this April.

A documentary about the middle-eastern leg of the Silver Jews� Israeli tour is set to be screened at various film festivals across the US, including its premiere at South By Southwest in Austin.
The 51-minute documentary follows David Berman and co as they play two in Tel Aviv, and embark on a day trip to Jerusalem.
The notoriously media-shy Berman expressed to friend and producer Matthew Robinson that he would like the Israeli portion of the tour to be documented, prompting Robinson to recruit director Michael Tullyto shoot the project.
Speaking to NME.COM, Tully explained why he was approached to film the documentary.
He said: �My first film, �Cocaine Angel�, had a pretty good festival run in 2006, and I guess Matthew trusted me behind the camera. As for David, I only chatted with him (and [his wife] Cassie) briefly over email before the trip, so I think I was more apprehensive than he was.�
Tully also added the object of the film was not to put together an all-encompassing background documentary, but rather to gain a personal insight into the band�s visit to Israel.
�We simply hoped to capture the band's experience in Israel as intimately and honestly as possible," he said. "I figured that if we did that, we would have something worthwhile on our hands.�
He is also clear that it is not a live-performance DVD, as only a small portion of the movie features actual live music footage.
Tully admitted: �Only about seven of the film's 51 minutes consist of live footage, so we're certainly not talking about a concert film here. The rest of the music is taken from Silver Jews albums – from �Starlite Walker� to �Tanglewood Numbers�. Being a fan myself, I made sure to include enough music that would satiate the diehards.�
�Silver Jew� will be screened at the following festivals:
Austin, TX South by Southwest Film Festival (March 9-17)
Sarasota, FL Sarasota Film Festival (April 13-22)
Nashville, TN Nashville Film Festival (April 23)
Boston, MA Independent Film Festival of Boston (April 25-30)

For his thoughts on religion Thomas Paine is considered everything from a genius to a heretic...and worse. In the United States, The Age of Reason initially caused a deistic "revival", but was then viciously attacked and soon forgotten. Paine became so reviled that he could still be maligned as a "filthy little atheist" by Theodore Roosevelt over one hundred years later.
Sometimes even a 'founding father' gets no respect if he strays from prevailing thought. Romney misquotes Paine and Obama quotes him without mentioning his name.
It seems to me that a well rounded citizen would read Paine objectively and come to their own conclusions but 'Common Sense' appears to have lost much of its luster these days.
Excerpts from The Age of Reason {PDF - complete, all three parts}
I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish church, by the Roman church, by the Greek church, by the Turkish church, by the Protestant church, nor by any church that I know of. My own mind is my own church.
All national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit.
I do not mean by this declaration to condemn those who believe otherwise; they have the same right to their belief as I have to mine. But it is necessary to the happiness of man, that he be mentally faithful to himself. Infidelity does not consist in believing, or in disbelieving; it consists in professing to believe what he does not believe.
It is impossible to calculate the moral mischief, if I may so express it, that mental lying has produced in society. When a man has so far corrupted and prostituted the chastity of his mind, as to subscribe his professional belief to things he does not believe, he has prepared himself for the commission of every other crime. He takes up the trade of a priest for the sake of gain, and in order to qualify himself for that trade, he begins with a perjury. Can we conceive any thing more destructive to morality than this?
I believe in one God, and no more; and I hope for happiness beyond this life.
I believe in the equality of man; and I believe that religious duties consist in doing justice, loving mercy, and endeavoring to make our fellow-creatures happy.
But, lest it should be supposed that I believe in many other things in addition to these, I shall, in the progress of this work, declare the things I do not believe, and my reasons for not believing them.
When Moses told the children of Israel that he received the two tables of the commandments from the hands of God, they were not obliged to believe him, because they had no other authority for it than his telling them so; and I have no other authority for it than some historian telling me so. The commandments carry no internal evidence of divinity with them; they contain some good moral precepts, such as any man qualified to be a lawgiver, or a legislator, could produce himself, without having recourse to supernatural intervention.
When I am told that the Koran was written in Heaven and brought to Mahomet by an angel, the account comes too near the same kind of hearsay evidence and second-hand authority as the former. I did not see the angel myself, and, therefore, I have a right not to believe it.
When also I am told that a woman called the Virgin Mary, said, or gave out, that she was with child without any cohabitation with a man, and that her betrothed husband, Joseph, said that an angel told him so, I have a right to believe them or not; such a circumstance required a much stronger evidence than their bare word for it; but we have not even this — for neither Joseph nor Mary wrote any such matter themselves; it is only reported by others that they said so — it is hearsay upon hearsay, and I do not choose to rest my belief upon such evidence.

Last week, we were excited to hear that Richard Frazier, a good friend of the shop, had his new showroom featured on the notable design blog, "Ask Patrick." The blog, written by interior designer, stylist, and stager, Patrick Hamilton, takes a tour through the Frazier Collection, located at 200 Lex in NYC.
For the TMRnyc team, seeing the Frazier Collection featured was doubly exciting because we contributed to the showroom space with some custom metal work.
We built these fantastic ironwork frames that are intentionally a bit rough and rugged. Designed to be easily moved around the showroom, TMR's Scott Behr says, "These frames were made to be decorated or used as spatial separators."
Rough-hewn ironwork frames definitely make for some unique metal products, but they're certainly not the only ones you'll find in the Frazier Collection. Richard has integrated some fantastic metalwork elements into his line of classic, elegant, scaled down, yet masculine furnishings.
Says Hamilton on his blog: "One thing that links [all of these pieces together] is a love of metalwork, in studs (yay!), banding, ferrules, finials and jewelry-like hardware. Bronzes, brass, warm nickel and burnished gold are the metals of choice at Frazier, and a high level of customization means you'll get exactly the piece you came in for."
Often, once we install a piece of custom metal work in NYC, we don't actually get to see it in use that much. So it's a real treat getting to see our ironwork frames in action at Frazier's showroom and on Hamilton's blog.
Have you stopped by 200 Lex or seen our work elsewhere in the city? Let us know what you think by posting on Facebook!

Aam panna recipe/Raw mango drink- Healthy North Indian beverage using raw mangoes
I have always loved having Aam Panna. The onset of summer reminds me the tingling flavour of Panna. My mother makes this using cardamom and jaggery only.
But your inclusion of spices makes it seem interesting. I am going to try this for sure. Just a small doubt...for how long can this be stored in the fridge?
Thanks Vishu.I prepared this yesterday morning.It remains good till now.Hope it stays fresh for 2-3 days in refrigerator.Delete
Good thing.I have not heard about this in Tamilnadu.ReplyDelete
Yes uncle.Its a popular drink in North India :)Delete
Very refreshing drink and well explained postReplyDelete
Wow a beautiful summer thirst quencher.... Nicely doneReplyDelete
Refreshing and yummy drink..ReplyDelete
The perfect summer drink. My fav!!!
If the jaggery contains impurities what should be the ratio and consistency of jaggery syrup
Hi, you can use the same ratio as mentioned. But melt the jaggery with little water, strain it and then mix with mango pulp.Delete
It's very good can make it without sugar for diabetic patientsReplyDelete
Can we prepare without sugar for diabetic patientsReplyDelete
I have used jaggery here. U can use honey but there may be slight variation in taste.ReplyDelete

The company said in a statement that Prime Video has become an important part of its $99 annual Prime loyalty membership program and said that the video-streaming devices sold on the site should be able to work with Prime Video.
Sellers will still sell video-streaming devices compatible with Prime Video including Roku, Xbox, PlayStation and Amazon's own Fire TV devices. But Apple TV and Google's Chromecast will be banned.
Seattle-based Amazon has been rapidly expanding its Prime Video Service, including recently inked deals to stream NBCUniversal's critically acclaimed drama ``Mr. Robot'' and a multiyear licensing agreement with CBS.
Amazon.com Inc. shares rose $6.20 to $518.09 in afternoon trading Thursday.

Every voice talent knows that the industry can be quite a competitive one. You'll need to keep honing your skills to stay on top and rise above the competition. As a voice actor, you should be aware that your primary strength comes from well-developed vocal chords and a sharp tongue. So it is important that you focus on developing techniques and learning voice-over exercises that will help you realize your full voice acting potential.
Here are a few voice-over exercises that you should be able to incorporate into your routine.
Easy Voice-Over Exercises Anyone Can Do
Mouth and Lip Exercises
- Put your lips together to mimic making a mouth trumpet sound. Fluctuate between a high-pitched sound and then follow with a lower-pitched sound. Do all this in front of a mirror. When you begin to pick up pace, your lips should start looking like a blur in front of your face. Continue until you run out of breath.
- Smile as hard as you can and hold it for a few seconds. Follow by pursing your lips and then holding it down. Do this back and forth ten times and then stick your tongue out, stretching it as far as possible. Touch the back of your upper teeth with the tip of your tongue and hold this position for approximately five seconds.
Pronunciation Exercises
- Learn the difference between short and long vowel sounds. Start with simple pairs such as "win" and "whine" and make sure you know the difference in pronunciation between the two.
- Tongue twisters are one of the most important voice-over exercises as they promote proper pronunciation and strong communication skills. You can browse through a variety of tongue twister online.
Tongue Exercises
- Do the tongue helicopter in front of a mirror. Take your tongue and move it around the part of your mouth that's between the teeth and the lips. Make a full circle. You'll notice that the bump of your tongue runs around the bottom of your mouth and top of your mouth right under your nose. Now mimicking a helicopter taking off, speed up the rotation. Do this exercise clockwise and counter clockwise to gain strength and control of your tongue.
- Position the tongue on the roof of the mouth and hold it there for a maximum of 10 seconds. Once you complete this, move the jaw up and down while keeping the tongue on the roof of the mouth.
Endurance Exercises
- Read for 30 minutes straight and out loud. Make sure you pick a piece that has 500 words so you can time yourself and know how long it takes you to reach the very last word. Use a decibel meter to assess if you are keeping a consistent volume. Note that should your volume start dropping off toward the end of the passage, it means your breathing is inconsistent.
- Sing a song with the lyrics in front of you. Record your voice to review for later. Yes, you might sound terrible in quality, but the idea is to determine what areas you need to work on. In addition to this being a form of endurance training, you also develop clarity, breathing, and voice range with this exercise.
