If you've been holding out from purchasing a new Android tablet until Samsung unveiled just exactly what it had up its sleeve, the wait is finally over. Rolling out their brand-new Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 in just a few short weeks, this new Android tablet is poised to dominate the marketplace just like Samsung's Galaxy S3 and new S4 have in the smart phone world.
Next-generation hardware with the latest Android operating system software
Everything about the new Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 is as close to cutting edge as you're going to find in the commercial world, including the fantastic hardware that drives the brand-new software. We are talking about a brand-new dual core 1.2 GHz processor, 8 to 16 GB of storage (with the option to expand up to 64 gig with a dedicated SD card), dual cameras on the front and rear of the tablet - the rear one being a three megapixel camera and the front facing camera a 1.3 megapixel solution - and a whole host of other truly cutting-edge innovations.
What is most surprising about the hardware that the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 will bring to the table is the inclusion of a 4000mAh battery - promising ridiculous battery life and usage times in between charges, something that the Android tablet world has been desperately searching for almost since the day they were released.
All of this hardware would be wasted without the brand-new Android operating system, one of the few non-Google branded products to rollout with the latest iteration. Everything is snappier, better organized, and overall more useful - but you'll also have tight integration to all of the applications, games, and tools that you have come to love on the Android platform.
Infinite Flexibility and Connectivity
While the jury is still out as to whether or not this 7 inch tablet is going to come loaded with an LTE option, people will be happy to know that the standard units will come with Wi-Fi connectivity and an upgraded model offers at least 3G connections. The Wi-Fi models will release first globally, with the wireless and cellular models rolling out later this year.
You'll also be able to enjoy Bluetooth in its latest version, as well as NFC technology that you can use to interact with any of the other Android devices out there that have the same capabilities this opens up fantastic sharing and versatility options that almost no other tablet has, something to definitely keep your eye on.
All in all, this looks like it can be a real game changer, and you'll want to pay close attention to the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 launch when it rolls out in early May.

Axis Creates CGI Episodic Content For "Halo 4" Spartan Ops: Season One
Last Updated: December 26, 2012 5:11 am GMT
(Glasgow, UK--December 26, 2012) CGI artists and storytellers, Axis, in collaboration with 343 Industries, proudly announces its participation in the brand-new, story-driven experience of "Halo 4" - Spartan Ops: Season One. A first-of-its-kind, exciting new addition to the "Halo" franchise, Spartan Ops is an episodic adventure that blends immersive storytelling, high-quality cinematics and action-packed gameplay to deliver an unprecedented serialized experience. In substance and scope, this first season of episodic content is taking Axis to new levels of involvement in the storytelling process, technical demands and in the development of believable, engaging characters.
Through a weekly series of cinematic episodes, Spartan Ops tells the continuing story of the UNSC Infinity, following the events of "Halo 4." Ten animated episodes, featuring over 1200 CGI animated shots, are being released throughout the series, which began on Nov 6th with the launch of "Halo 4". These cinematic episodes provide the backdrop for the weekly Spartan Ops gameplay missions, where players can take part in five new missions each week that explore the corners of Requiem and help uncover the secrets of the mysterious Forerunner world.
The series is being directed by Axis co-founder Stuart Aitken, on the heels of other recent high-profile game-related projects, including the much-acclaimed and award-winning Dead Island announcement trailer.
Aitken and Axis Producer Debbie Ross worked hand-in-hand with Halo 4 developers 343 Industries to creatively develop the content, including casting, script development, art direction, sound design, with the clear goal that each Spartan Ops episode should be as engaging as the best feature film or television drama.
"Spartan Ops was an absolutely unique project, with a unique schedule and unique challenges," said Frank O'Connor, Franchise Development Director at 343 Industries. "Axis stepped up to those challenges with imagination and energy, and more importantly, a wonderfully collaborative vision of the story we wanted to tell. Working with our writers, our cinematics team, and a dizzying plethora of tools and assets, they became a seamless extension of our narrative group - and we look forward to continuing our relationship and creative partnership in the future."
"What makes this such an incredible opportunity is that this is full CGI movie-style storytelling and character development within the rich and exciting world of Halo," said Stuart Aitken. "We've collaborated at every level with 343 Industries throughout the process to create a truly immersive cinematic experience."
The team at Axis was clear that they wanted each Spartan Ops episode to be as engaging as the best feature film or television drama. To achieve this Axis built a layout and editorial team that shot and edited episodes in a way more akin to live action than typical CGI. After the motion capture was complete, Axis would create a performance edit from the reference cameras at the shoot. The layout team then shot the CG cameras providing coverage for all scenes, allowing editorial to have as much flexibility in shot selection as possible.
Director Aitken immersed himself in the "Halo" canon, taking in everything that could provide insight into previous story elements, given that Axis would be creating never-before-seen moments in the "Halo" universe.
During the project, a range of production challenges were met, including Axis' animation department having to work with motion capture across a range of character scales from 5.5ft to 14ft. However, the most demanding task was to create convincing facial animation. In order to maintain every nuance of the actors performances when applied to the CG characters, Axis in-house rigging and animation team developed a special facial motion capture solution in conjunction with Giant studios and Cubic Motion, a world leader in solving this difficult problem. The result is some of the most realistic and expressive CGI facial animation to date.
Axis also had to deal with the daunting level of environmental detail that is evident in the "Halo" world. The studio's shading team developed a series of procedural approaches in Side FX Houdini, which enabled them make the world feel alive and "lived in." Additionally, the lighting team was tasked with creating lighting set ups that matched the look of "Halo 4" but also developed a tone and approach that gave a signature look to the Spartan Ops episodes. The lighting had to be quick to iterate across multiple shots and artists, whilst maintaining the highest quality being demanded by Aitken and the team at 343 Industries.
As with any cinematic project, sound is an integral part of creating a believable world. Axis turned to Savalas, a previous partner for Dead Island, for all of Spartan Ops' sound design as well as the final mix.
Spartan Ops was on a scale unseen on any prior project for Axis. The 10 episodes will contain 45 minutes of content, more than 30 characters, 23 sets and 1200-plus shots.

A lot of people don't seem to realise that what gives the pudding its luxuriant, rich toffee flavour is the humble date. But if you eat a date and really concentrate on the flavour it suddenly seems obvious! Dates are just like toffee but, as they're fruit, you can pretend they're healthy.
This recipe is particularly nice as you can make the puddings and sauce a couple of days in advance and leave the puddings to steep in the thick creamy sauce. The puddings are luscious and airy and I'm certain, that if they could talk, they would sweetly call "eeeeeeaaaatttt meeeeeeeeee".
I've made this recipe before and posted it on my site but in the very early days when my readership comprised of family and a couple of friends. You can find the recipe by clicking here.
Would it be naughty to confess that I have had one of these puddings each day over the weekend?

"Yoga" is any sort of Hindu spiritual discipline; we're talking about hatha yoga here. It's probably harmless if you can block out the woo-woo aspects of it.Tai chi is simply a martial arts form and is as harmless as any other.
*Woo Woo* completely depends on the instructor. I took Yoga from an RN. The class focused on how your body was perfoming and lacked any sort of spritual "mumbo jumbo".
I'm only 28, but have had a kyphosis and lordosis (the hunch and sway back forms of scoliosis) for at least 10 years. My back muscles are very tight, unbalanced and spasm at times (had a bad lower neck spasm recently - it sucks). I've had chiropractic, deep tissue, rolfing and other massage. I've done a 10 session series of Pilates, which helped and take my friend's yoga class occasionally (he's cradle EO, gramps was a priest). I do yoga at home to those videos. My back would probably be a wreck w/o doing consistent yoga. I try to just say the Jesus prayer when I hear anyone even try to mention any "woo woo" aspects. I just use it as PT.
Has anyone read the works of the French Catholic writer J-M Dechanet about yoga and Christianity? I already had a copy of his Christian Yoga but picked up a copy of his Yoga and God in one of my forays into a secondhand bookshop. I was amazed to see him endorsing astrology as a misunderstood serious science, but in other respects the book is quite interesting. Now all I need is to find Dechanet's Yoga in Ten Lessons to complete the set.

I haven't weighed in on the tragedy in Tucson very much, as you can see. The main reason is that in a way, I've been in shock. But I also wanted to let the dust settle and the facts to come out. My first instinct in any of these types of tragedies is to blame the person responsible, the mentally deranged person who actually did the shooting. Even if he was influenced by someone saying something hateful or putting crosshairs on congressional districts, he still chose to make that leap into violence. I heard someone say that 309 million people chose not to shoot anyone on Saturday. We can't lose sight of the person responsible for this, a sick person who went over the edge.
When politicians and commentators immediately take to the microphone and start in with their hyperbole, whether on the left or the right, it cheapens the real tragedy. People say things that prompt defensive reactions and it escalates and becomes just another circus act that the media perpetuates. Personally, I think we should be talking about mental health issues, how to help people who have paranoia, anger problems, depression and hopelessness. We should be comforting the families affected by the tragedy. And we should be investigating how it got to that point.
The last thing I'll say for now, because what else can really be said, is I want to hear what Gabby Giffords has to say about it. She will bring clarity to the situation, I'm sure.
Don't get me wrong, I think we need to have a discussion about the vitriol that pervades our political discourse and the demonization of opponents that certainly doesn't help when a deranged person hears it, but there will be plenty of time for that in the future. My problem is with people going off "half-cocked" to use a very bad metaphor and saying things based on speculation which often results in people trying to fit a round peg into a square hole.
And I'm not making the false equivalency thing or the both sides argument about this vitriol, there is no one on the left, other than commenters on blogs, who spew the rhetoric that the right does. There is no equivalency between the two. My point above is that both sides jumped on this tragedy and in the process, cheapened it.

N.O. Man To Get 30 Years In Prison For 5 Killings
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A plea deal calls for a New Orleans man to be sentenced to 30 years in prison for his role in five killings in 2007, including the fatal shooting of an off-duty police officer.
Steven Earl Hardrick is scheduled to plead guilty Thursday to five of the 17 counts he faced in a March indictment. A court filing Wednesday discloses the terms of his plea agreement with federal prosecutors.
Some of the victims' family members have told prosecutors they believe the agreement on the sentence is too lenient.
But prosecutors say the case against Hardrick was weakened by false confessions, newly discovered evidence and a lack of eyewitnesses and forensic evidence.
Hardrick can withdraw his guilty plea if U.S. District Judge Sarah Vance sentences him to more than 30 years.

Gator blades are one of the best mulching blades you can install on your Sears lawn mower. If you want better results when it comes to bagging, mulching or discharging, use a gator blade. Gator blades cut the grass multiple times to produce finer clippings. This saves more space in your bags and allows the smaller clippings to settle easier back on the ground as mulch. Review the measurements of your blade to find an exact replacement size. Select a G3 or G5 gator blade below!
G3 Gator Blades:G3 blades offer faster and higher quality mulching capability than standard mulching blades. The teeth on the back of the blade redirect the grass clippings toward the cutting edge over and over again.
G5 Gator Blades:G5 blades combine a higher air lift with a longer cutting edge for a greater mulching performance than the G3. These blades also stay sharper longer than standard blades.

Thanks Mark.
There's only one way the Deinocheirus mystery could pan-out that would satisfy me. ;-)
Paul W.
What would be really interesting was if Deinocheirus is NOT an ornithomimosaur. Now that really would rattle the phylogenetic status quo.
"I am not so sure about this. Surely it would have been more advantageous to have a longer and stronger forelimb to perform such actions?"
Actually, based on what I've read (Senter 2005: http://www.jstor.org/discover/10.2307/4096941?uid=3739696&uid=2129&uid=2&uid=70&uid=4&uid=3739256&sid=21101796891267 ), the forelimbs of Mononykus are consistent w/the hook-&-pull digging of anteaters.
"There has been more material recovered a few years ago but nothing has been published yet but do keep an eye out in Spring of this year when there will likely be news on Deinocheirus that will cause quite a stir!"
Do you know what the news is or just that there is news? Just curious.
BTW, I'm surprised you didn't mention spinosaurs or unenlagiines. They're some of the 1st dinos to come to mind when I think of specialists. Otherwise, good post (as usual).
Hi HD and thanks for your recent comments. I have to disagree with Senter's observations. Biomechanically it does not make any evolutionary sense at all to evolve a highly reduced single digit forelimb to break into a termite mound or ant hill.
But it is obvious that the forelimb of Mononykus was certainly an unusal adaption - far more so, in my opinion, than the reduced forelimbs of tyrannosaurids.
The Deinocheirus issue is very interesting and there are certainly more revelations to come. Whether they will be published during the Spring remains to be seen - publication is notoriously unpredictable. I think I would like to leave it at that for now but I, like every other palaeotype, am busting to know what revelations will be made.
The point of the post was really to make one think about the dinosaurs diversity as a whole and there are probably many other examples of specialists out there - including Spinosaurus. As I said in the post, the fascinating part of all this is how many new specialists there must be still out there to find - it must be mind boggling.
"Biomechanically it does not make any evolutionary sense at all to evolve a highly reduced single digit forelimb to break into a termite mound or ant hill."
Sorry to disagree w/you again, but based on what I've read (E.g. http://dml.cmnh.org/2004Dec/msg00118.html ), it does make sense in this case. Besides, as others have pointed out ( E.g. http://dml.cmnh.org/2004Dec/msg00115.html ), Tamandua & Cyclopes have especially short & "mononykine-like forelimbs". Good discussion, though.
And yet when you look at the balance of Mononykus it would more or less have to hug a mound to start scratching and digging and even then it would not be able to see what it was doing.
I am not saying I am right but, any way you look at it, it is a bizarre unhelpful adaption for the proposed lifestyle.

President Obama's first press conference following his reelection made clear that there is no time for him to savor his solid victory and that he understands this is no time to make exaggerated claims of electoral mandates. Perhaps it is a sign of how fast-moving today's news cycle is. Or maybe it is a reflection of how many questions demand answers on both the Benghazi attack and the increasingly bizarre David Petraeus scandal. But, as the president quickly learned on Wednesday, those 62.6 million popular votes and 332 electoral votes he received are just so last week.
Since World War II, every reelected president except for Richard Nixon has held a press conference soon after his victory—though Ronald Reagan jokingly wondered why he was doing it, saying, "Look, I won. I don't have to subject myself to [this]." Some of those were tough sessions, with probing questions about overseas crises and lingering political disputes. But none was as unrelenting as this one by Obama. No reelected president in recent decades faced so many questions with the real potential to put him on the defensive so quickly after the election. It is to the president's credit that he fended them off so deftly. He was clearly relaxed, almost bounding up to the lectern at the beginning with a jaunty "I hear you have some questions for me."
But there can be no doubt that there will be no honeymoon for him this time. Not with the government careening toward the fiscal cliff, a restive Congress demanding answers on Libya, too many generals misbehaving and rebels dying in Syria. He spoke of fast-approaching deadlines and international crises and tough personnel decisions to be made and hostile leaders abroad eager to test him. "I didn't get reelected," he noted matter-of-factly, "just to bask in reelection."
Perhaps most striking was the tone that the president struck. Missing was the triumphalism exhibited by some reelected presidents, the claims of big mandates and, as George W. Bush termed it in 2004, "capital" to spend on big initiatives. Instead, Obama contended that his only mandate was to work for the middle class and the only "clear message" from voters in 2012 was that "we've got to work together and put our differences aside." Though he did note, accurately, that he spoke incessantly during the campaign about his insistence on eliminating the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans. "This shouldn't be a surprise to anybody," he said. "If there was one thing that everybody understood was a big difference between myself and Mr. Romney," it was this.
But he did not claim his win as a ratification of how he conducted his first term, particularly in terms of his relations with Congress. "There's no doubt that I can always do better," he said, promising to examine the ways he communicates and deals with Congress. "I don't exempt myself from needing to, you know, do some self-reflection and see if I can improve our working relationship."
He also seemed to learn another lesson from the campaign and Mitt Romney's criticism that he had taken his eye off the economy and been distracted by other issues like health care. When asked about climate change, he pledged action—but not yet, not until the economy is improved. "If the message is somehow we're going to ignore jobs and growth simply to address climate change, I don't think anybody's going to go for that," he said.
Even as he was reaching out to his critics and to Republicans in Congress, though, the president did exhibit a touch of steel. His outreach to critics of U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice was limited to challenging them to stop attacking her. "If Senator [John] McCain and Senator [Lindsey] Graham and others want to go after somebody, they should go after me," he said firmly, mentioning two of Rice's leading critics. He defended her statements after the Benghazi attack on Sept. 11 as reflecting "the intelligence that had been provided her." He added, "to besmirch her reputation is outrageous."
And even as he talked of better relations with Congress, he left no doubt that he will risk a fight with Senate Republicans if he decides he wants Rice as his next secretary of State. Clearly, he does not expect a honeymoon, and the press conference confirmed that he won't be getting one.

This cake uses popular flavours – honey, almond and vanilla – but has a twist in its method that makes them seem fresh and new. When you spoon the cake batter into the tin you add a thick layer of runny honey on top over which you scatter a lot of flaked almonds. The weight of all this suppresses the rise of the sponge but what your reward for this is a sticky spongy topping with lovely toasted nuts. It's not dissimilar to the lovely bit of sponge that's absorbed all the syrup on a steam sponge pudding.
150g caster sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
225g self raising flour
6 tablespoons milk
125ml runny honey, warmed
150g flaked almonds
2 tablespoons cornflour
3 egg yolks
125ml milk
75ml double cream

Imagine sitting in the front lawn sipping the local herbal tea and basking in the warmth of the morning sun. Sanjay Dutta and his wife Sunita Dutta are the hospitable hosts of the homestay. Being an experienced journalist of a leading regional newspaper, Sanjay is well-informed about the local people, their culture and history. He likes interacting with people and exchanging personal and professional experiences with his guests. Sunita is an amazing cook who cooks delectable local cuisine like Rajma (Red beans), Pulao (fried rice) for vegetarians and locally prepared mutton, chicken and fish for non-vegetarians. The decor of the house reflects warmth and comfort.
Though symetric in design, each room has its own color theme. The three rooms are double bedded with attached bathrooms and balconies and each one with a different view of the scenic beauty around.
The house is located on the foothill of a hill full of cedar trees which provide for a different locale with every changing season. One of the most interesting spots in the house is the front lawn which has a small camping tent for the adventurous sorts who donât mind camping out for a night. The closest tourist spots include the main Manali town and monasteries, Rohtang Pass and the famous Hadimba temple which was built in 1553 A.D. The temple has a four tiered pagoda shaped roof with a doorway carved with mythological figures and symbols. There are lot of trekking, skiing, white water rafting and other adventure sports options in the region.
This property is a dream home one always wanted to stay in the hills with beautiful and serene ambience overlooking the road and the scenic panorama around with misty mountains clad with snow. Manali despite its popularity has its rawness intact. Experience to cherish it forever and experience the wonderful hospitality.

No more 'Smiles' for Michigan: State health department moving to ban newest designer drug
Editor's note: This story was edited at 9:45 a.m. to reflect Michigan is working to ban an entire class of synthetic phenylethylamines that include 2C-I, a compound that previously has been banned by the federal government.
The state health department is cracking down on a new breed of amphetamine-mimicking synthetic designer drugs under an emergency scheduling process made possible by the amendment banning synthetic cannabinoids like K2 earlier this year.
However, recently different derivatives in the 2C class -- the most common known as 2C-I and 25i-NBOMe, among others, have been manufactured and re-engineered to avoid the chemical structures that have been deemed illegal by various government bodies.
"The legislative process is relatively slow and the way to change these chemicals is relatively fast," said Dr. Brad Uren, assistant professor of Emergency Medicine at the University of Michigan Health System.
Common brand names include "Smiles," which has been linked to the death of Johnny Lewis, the "Sons of Anarchy" actor who allegedly killed his landlady before falling to his death.

"There's continually new derivatives of (phenylethylamines) as there's this war to substitute new chemical structures to avoid scheduling," said Dr. Kirk Brower, professor of psychiatry at the University of Michigan and executive director, of U-M's Addiction Treatment Services.
For the past five months, the Michigan State Police have been tracking the use of the synthetic phenylethylamine derivatives across the state at the request of the health department. At every one of their labs, there have been confiscated substances that have tested positive for the class of synthetic phenylethylamines, said MSP Sgt. Chris Hawkins.
"We've queried our labs and identified a steady proliferation of this drug throughout the state once we started tracking it five months ago," said Hawkins, who is the policy liaison for the MSP.
The Michigan Poison Control Center has reported 19 hospitalizations of people who have used the new synthetic drugs for seizures and renal failure. To date, there have been no Michigan deaths attributed to the new designer drugs, but five people have died in the U.S. from use.
Users of the new synthetic phenylethylamines have also been reportedly physically combative with first responders, according to the state health department.
In Ann Arbor, the target group appears to be high school students, Brower said.
Between 60 to 80 percent of teens ages 14 to 18 in the Addiction Treatment Services program at U-M have either been offered a drug like "Smiles" or know how to obtain the substances, Brower said.

Because the synthetic designer drugs are continuously altered to avoid the law, dosages are not well regulated and their effects are relatively unknown.
Each person who uses these synthetic designer drugs has a slightly different experience, Uren said, likely due to the lack of quality control of dosage and concentration.
"I would really not want anyone to be under the impression that (because) they're not illegal yet they're (safe)," Uren said. "It's a bad class of drugs without a lot of benefits."
When a patient arrives in the emergency room, doctors are only able to treat the various symptoms, which include psychosis. Additional symptoms include hallucinations, disorientation, renal failure, seizures, acute respiratory failure and central nervous system depression.
"Some of these, they don't take effect right away, so you're waiting and waiting and then you end up taking more than your body can really handle," Brower said, encouraging people to go the emergency room to prevent permanent damage from an overdose.
Reports of use of new synthetic phenylethylamines have increased from 28 in 2006 to 228 in 2010, Brower said.
These new phenylethylamines are packaged similarly to the way synthetic cannabinoids and cathinones were marketed, as mimicking the effects of marijuana in psychedelic-colored wrappers and tins, Hawkins said.
However, the new products like "Smiles" aren't typically sold at smoke shops and party stores like K2 and Spice were, Hawkins said.
Users typically buy the new phenylethylamines products online from foreign manufacturers, and either use it for their own consumption or distribute it stateside, Hawkins said.
The new phenylethylamines like 2C-I and Smiles can be a white powdery substance or be pressed into a tablet form. 2C-I has been banned by the federal government, but other derivatives in the 2C family similar to the drug are on the market.
People in possession of most new synthetic phenylethylamines cannot be charged with use of a controlled substance at this point, but the health department is working to change that.
Under a new emergency scheduling process created this summer as a part of the state's ban on synthetic cannabinoids, the Michigan Department of Community Health will be able to more quickly enact legislation to ban the drugs. The state has decided to pursue banning the entire class of synthetic phenylethylamines to circumvent the problem of constantly changing chemical compounds.
The state health department is encouraging parents to talk to their children about the new synthetic drugs, and to call the Michigan Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222 with any concerns.

what's your primary source on this? can you cite a pending bill? i've been looking around on the michigan legislature web site and i don't see anything pending that mentions 2C-I or 25i-NBOMe. do you have a full list of the chemicals being considered for scheduling in this legislation? thanks.
Fri, Dec 14, 2012 : 8:05 p.m.
ah, OK, thanks, i just googled it and found the MDCH press release. very vague. i guess we'll have to wait and see on the specifics. i expect most if not all the compounds that will be featured in this current round of legislation are already illegal at the federal level due to existing scheduling or analog act provisions.
Amy Biolchini
Fri, Dec 14, 2012 : 7:49 p.m.
The Michigan Department of Community Health issued a press release Monday announcing they were beginning the emergency scheduling process for a class of synthetic phenylethylamines, which means the state health department has issued an imminent danger notification regarding the drugs to the Michigan Board of Pharmacy within the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs. Those two agencies are integral in making the class of synthetic phenylethylamines illegal. I do not have a full list; the names of the chemicals I wrote about is what the state health department provided to me.
Fri, Dec 14, 2012 : 7:08 p.m.
I commend these efforts to control the sale of synthetic chemicals that people may innocently try to find some stimulant effect and derive mental excitement. It is my impression that the desire to use such chemical stimulants comes from an unknown sense of dissatisfaction in life. If there is satisfaction in life, there will not be enough reason or motivation to try chemical substances. If chemicals are found in the food that we consume, those food items also contain other nutritional substances that moderate the experience provided by the chemically active substance. Trying synthetic derivative may enhance the chemical effect but at the same time exposes the person to a higher risk like that of seizures. Thanks for sharing this story. We need this effort to prevent substance abuse.

Any word when people will be walking around Wal-Mart shaking highly explosive pop bottles to make their own stash? Should the burn wards be alerted? Collateral damage in the war on drugs.

It's the sad result of our puritanism that in many cases the illegal drugs are much, much safer than legal (or only recently illegal) substitutes. Ironically, MDMA is for the most part a very safe drug, and it does indeed have potential medical benefits as well (specifically relating to alcoholism and psychological trauma). The danger of MDMA is that you don't always know what it's mixed with--but that's a result of its illegality, not the drug itself. The same is true of marijuana. I know it's counter-intuitive, and I don't encourage anyone to take drugs who doesn't want to, but if you DO want to, you're much safer using the illegal substances with long case histories and known risks than these "alphabet soup" products. Just don't risk it.
Fri, Dec 14, 2012 : 9:42 p.m.
Its interesting what the war on drugs has created. What will happen when these particular chemicals are outlawed? They will make new ones that are more dangerous.

"The legislative process is relatively slow and" Maybe when it comes to safety of our food and drugs, but certainly not when it comes to divisive political power grabbing legislation.

In addition to what Milton said, 2C-I has been around for many years now, having first become popular in the early 2000s. It was already banned federally earlier this year despite having no clear history of any serious hospitalizations or death. 25I-NBOMe is newer (no known history before 2010) and does have an association with hospitalization and death. 2C-x is a complete misnomer. It is not a drug of any kind. The 'x' is a placeholder and the label is meant to refer to the whole family of compounds that begin with the "2C" moniker. All of this information is available on wikipedia and eroid.
Amy Biolchini
Fri, Dec 14, 2012 : 2:35 p.m.
Thanks for the input. I was working off of information provided to me by the Michigan Department of Community Health, and that's how they chose to describe it to me. I've edited the story to make it a little more clear what the MDCH is working to do. By banning the entire class of phenethylamines, the state can circumvent the problem of new compounds popping up with other chemical structures that the federal government has not yet been able to ban.

Psychotic drugs? Did you mean psychedelic? "Phenethylamine" shouldn't be capitalized every time it's written, and MDMA is an amphetamine - an "alpha methyl phenethylamine," not a phenethylamine. Phenethylamines are found in chocolate, and in the body. MDMA bears little relation in its effects to these new drugs, they're more akin to LSD. They have killed far fewer people than alcohol, tobacco, caffeine, or video games. All information available on Wikipedia.
Amy Biolchini
Fri, Dec 14, 2012 : 3 p.m.
I've edited the story to read "psychoactive" instead of "psychotic." The capitalization issue was an error on my part, which I've since rectified. I understand phenethylamines are naturally occurring, but there are specific synthetic forms that are apparently being used for recreational drug use that are new and different, according to the sources I've spoken with. I'm not throwing MDMA under the bus here. The issue is the Michigan Poison Control Center had numerous reports of individuals using substances in the 2C family that they weren't familiar with, and so they asked the state health department to look into the matter. Across the country, individuals have died as a result of 2C-I and Michigan is attempting to be proactive before a death happens in the state as a result of this class of phenethylamines. Unregulated synthetic derivatives of phenethylamines are the target of this effort by the Michigan Department of Community Health. I've made some edits to the story to make it a little more clear.

Unforntunate advertising placement in this article-- "The Michigan Department of Community Health is fast tracking the ban of a class of psychotic, synthetic drugs called Phenylethylamines. Specific derivatives of Phenylethylamines have been in use since the 1960s, the most familiar being Ecstasy and MDMA.

Thanks for the reply. It was a total loss , i had to knead in a ridiculous amount of flour. It all ended up in the trash.
When you can, get a good gram scale, they're not that much. .5 oz is just north of 14 grams. LOTS of room for error in my opinion. You won't ever be sorry for getting one. Better, repeatable results guaranteed!! jon
At this point ive had more failures then edible pizza. I give up on pizza style now i just need a thin crust dough recipe that works. One that i can actually stretch out
To work a 75% dough, you don't "knead in" any flour, you just use a lot of it on the bench and on your hands. If you disturb the skin by folding the dough ball, then yes, you may as well throw it in the trash.
In addition to some of the corrective measures already mentioned, you can also use a sheet of parchment paper if you are able to open up the dough ball to form a skin, albeit a wet one that is likely to stick to a peel. If you'd like, the parchment paper can be removed from the oven once the pizza is set. Peter
Sb 44, the stretch and folds take place while making the dough, not when trying to open the doughball into a pizza skin. It is too late at that point.

Firestone Walker Wigs Out With Velvet Merkin
- October 11, 2013 |
- By Andrew Nagy
Most will smile when they hear the name Velvet Merkin, Firestone Walker Brewing's newest limited-edition beer, but cigar lovers should smirk knowing it's a brew that practically begs to be paired with a premium smoke.
Velvet Merkin is an oatmeal stout that has been aged for a year in retired Bourbon barrels acquired from the Four Roses and Heaven Hill distilleries. The oats, which make up approximately 15 percent of the total malts used to brew the beer, give Merkin a silky mouthfeel that clings to the palate.
Merkin debuted recently as a member of Firestone's Proprietor's Reserve Series, the brewery's celebrated collection of barrel-aged vintage beers. While the other brews in the Reserve Series all had an alcohol content that exceeded 10 percent, Merkin clocks in at only 8.5 percent.
"With barrel aging, it's easy to gravitate toward higher alcohol beers, because the higher the alcohol, the better the chances that the beer will remain stable in the barrel over time," said Firestone brewmaster Matt Brynildson. "But we've gotten more and more comfortable with putting lower alcohol beers in the barrel, and there's this interesting synergy when you do that."
Until the recent release of Merkin, the only way one could enjoy the beer was during a special event or in the California brewery's tasting room. That's because Merkin was originally brewed in 2004 as a component for Anniversary Ale, which is a beer blend that Firestone has released annually since 2006. (The next Anniversary Ale, XVII, is set to go on sale in early November.) Some other Anniversary Ale component beers—Double DBA and Parabola—have also been released as part of the Reserve Series.
"This beer has earned a cult following, and people have been hounding us to release it," said Brynildson.
Firestone has produced only 3,500 cases of Merkin for sixteen states, and it's available in 22-ounce bottles.
(Cigar pairing on next page)
Firestone Walker Vintage 2013 Velvet Merlin (8.5 percent alcohol by volume; $16.99 for 22 oz. bottle)
APPEARANCE: Dark brown, near-black liquid with a frothy head the color of espresso. Lacing nicely holds on to the sides of the glass and is resurrected with a quick swirl of the brew.
AROMA: A bouquet of chocolate that includes milk chocolate and cocoa nibs. Subtle notes of toasted vanilla and Bourbon come through, with a hint of oak.
PALATE: Smooth milk chocolate hits the tongue and is followed by a nice note of vanilla and espresso. The mouthfeel is akin to heavy cream or butter in that it's smooth and lush.
CIGAR PAIRING: Curivari Buenaventura BV 560 (5 inches by 56 ring gauge, $5.40, 92 points, August 2013 Cigar Aficionado) Silky to the touch, this squarely pressed toro layers the palate with graham cracker and wood flavor. Toasted nutty notes emerge on the finish. Balanced and tasty. The interplay between smoke and brew is splendid. The beer's oak and vanilla flavors become more prominent with each puff, and the smoke's woody flavors are cooled so more of the graham cracker spice can emerge.

PHOTOS: Lower order shines again as India draw first Test
A first Test of unlikely batting records fizzled out into a draw as India declared on 391 for nine late on the fifth day against England at Trent Bridge on Sunday.
India recovered from losing three wickets early in the final day which briefly gave the hosts a glimpse of victory but Test debutant Stuart Binny and tail-ender Bhuvneshwar Kumar both scored half centuries to snuff out the danger.
The Nottingham ground had not hosted a drawn Test match since 2002, when India were also the visitors, but despite both teams suffering mid-innings mini collapses in their first innings, bowling proved a slog on a flat pitch.
India would have hoped to have been bowling for a victory on Sunday but an all-time Test record 10th-wicket stand of 198 between Joe Root and James Anderson the previous day meant they had work to do just to ensure the draw.

Broad removes Kohli, Rahane
The tourists began the day on 167 for three, a lead of 128 runs, but under gloomy skies which aided swing bowling, England's attack made early inroads.
In the second over of the day Stuart Broad got the ball to reverse swing and Virat Kohli (eight), widely considered India's most dangerous batsmen, was trapped leg before.
Broad claimed his second victim soon after when Ajinkya Rahane fell for 24 after edging a swinging delivery to wicketkeeper Matt Prior.
India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni (11) was dropped by his England counterpart Alastair Cook off Broad but failed to make the most of his luck when Liam Plunkett sent his stumps cart wheeling out of the ground with a full delivery.

Jadeja, Binny steady India
At that stage an England victory was still possible but Ravindra Jadeja stemmed the tide with a laboured 31 before edging an Anderson delivery to Prior shortly after lunch.
As the match idled towards a draw, under-pressure England captain Cook, who has not enjoyed a win in nine Test matches, decided to rest his four-man seam attack ahead of the second Test at Lord's on Thursday and introduced part-time spinners Moeen Ali and Joe Root.
Ali followed his two wickets from the previous day when he trapped Binny lbw but not before the batsman had reached a maiden Test half century - 78 off 114 balls.
In a Test of milestones Kumar's half-century, following his first innings 58, meant he was only the second number nine to reach 50 in each innings in a Test match, matching the record of Peter Siddle against India in Delhi last year.
Kumar also shared in a 111 partnership with number 11 Mohammed Shami in India's first innings - a last-wicket record for India against England.

Skipper Cook gets a wicket
Even Cook himself had a bowl, much to the delight of the home crowd, and he was allowed a smile with the wicket of Ishant Sharma (13) when he edged to Prior.
India declared after his over and as stumps were drawn all eyes moved to the home of cricket next week.
The visitors have not played a five-match Test series on English soil since 1959 and are in search of their first away win since 2011, while England are chasing their first victory of coach Peter Moores' second spell in charge.

Governor Perry Sabotages Entire Texas Women's Health Program
For Immediate Release: Jan. 30, 2014
Politically motivated maneuver could leave more than 130,000 Texans without health care — comes on the heels of reduction in women's health care to 180,000 women
Planned Parenthood Federation of America
AUSTIN –Today Texas Governor Rick Perry moved to effectively sabotage the entire Medicaid Women's Health Program, which provides preventive health care, including birth control and lifesaving cancer screenings, to more than 130,000 low-income women each year.
"Governor Perry and his conservative allies have once again chosen politics over the lives of Texas women," said Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America. "He will never know the reality of the women that rely on these programs. He will never know what it's like for a woman who feels a lump in her breast, but has to worry about the cost of a doctor's visit."
This is just the latest attack on women's health by Governor Perry and Texas legislators. Over the summer, Governor Perry signed a budget that slashed funding for women's health by two-thirds, resulting in more than 180,000 women losing access to preventive health care this year.
The federal government, which covers 90 percent of the cost of this program, has made clear to Texas — and to all 50 states — that a rule excluding a qualified provider like Planned Parenthood would not be allowed in the Medicaid program because it restricts the rights of patients in violation of federal law.
Rather than work toward a solution that would allow for the continuation for this vital women's health program, Texas effectively sabotaged the entire Medicaid Women's Health Program by announcing today that Governor Perry's Executive Commissioner of Health and Human Services had formally adopted the illegal rule.
Planned Parenthood is one of the leading, most trusted health care providers in the country — and in Texas. In fact, Planned Parenthood is the single largest provider of care within the Texas Medicaid Women's Health Program and consistently delivers high-quality, affordable care to working Texas women.
Nearly 50 percent of the women who received vital health care through the Texas Women's Health Program rely on a Planned Parenthood health center for their preventive health care.
"Even as more than one-quarter of Texas women are uninsured, and women in Texas have the third highest rate of cervical cancer in the country, Governor Perry is determined to make a bad situation worse for women in the state of Texas," Richards said. "Texas would rather throw health care for hundreds of thousands of women overboard than allow Planned Parenthood to provide health care like breast and cervical cancer screenings, birth control, and STD prevention through public health programs."
This backdoor tactic is from the same playbook that Indiana, Kansas, and North Carolina all attempted in 2011 and today's action comes after thousands of women — from Virginia, to Idaho, to Missouri, to Capitol Hill — have been mobilizing to fight back against attempts to restrict women's access to reproductive health care.
"What you're seeing around the country is a resounding message to all politicians: No one's politics should interfere with a woman's access to birth control and lifesaving cancer screenings," Richards concluded.

Guy Ecker as Armando Marcano
A bossy, abusive but very attractive, athletic mature man who has his own principles and way in life. He is a specialist in engineering and when he arrives to the ranch he gets a master.

Adrenal insufficiency occurs when the adrenal glands don't make enough of the hormone cortisol. You have two adrenal glands. They are located just above the kidneys. They work with the hypothalamus and pituitary glands in the brain. Cortisol helps break down fats, proteins, and carbohydrates in your body. It also controls blood pressure and affects how your immune system works.
Adrenal insufficiency can be
primary, secondary, or tertiary:
Primary adrenal insufficiency is most often caused when your immune system attacks your healthy adrenal glands by mistake. Other causes may include:
A lack of the hormone ACTH leads to
secondary adrenal insufficiency. That can happen if you must take certain steroids for a
long time because of a health problem. For example, people with asthma or rheumatoid
arthritis may need to take prednisone. Other causes include:
You may have mild symptoms when you are under physical stress. Each person's symptoms will vary. Symptoms may include:
If not treated, adrenal insufficiency may lead to:
These symptoms may look like other health problems. Always see your healthcare provider for a diagnosis.
Your healthcare provider will ask
about your health history. You will also need an exam. Tests that can diagnose adrenal
insufficiency include:
Treatment will depend on your symptoms, age, and general health. It
will also depend on how severe the condition is.
You will need to take hormones to
replace those that your adrenal glands are not making. That mainly means cortisol.
Addison disease can be deadly.
Treatment often starts with IV (intravenous) fluids and medicines called
corticosteroids. You may take these medicines by mouth or by IV. You may have to take
them for the rest of your life. You may also need to take other medicines
(fludrocortisones). These can help keep your body's sodium and potassium levels
You may have sudden severe
symptoms. This is called acute adrenal insufficiency, or Addisonian crisis. This can
occur when your body is stressed. That can happen for many reasons, such as an illness,
fever, surgery, or dehydration. You may also have a crisis if you stop taking your
corticosteroids or lower the amount of your medicines suddenly. The symptoms of an
Addisonian crisis include the symptoms of adrenal insufficiency or Addison disease. But
if an Addisonian crisis is not treated, it can lead to:
Take your medicines exactly as
prescribed. You should also carry a medical alert card or tag at all times. This can
make sure you get correct treatment if there is an emergency. When traveling, always
carry an emergency kit with a shot of cortisol.
Any condition that stresses your body can affect how much medicine you need. Call your healthcare provider if:
Get medical help right away if you have sudden severe symptoms (Addisonian crisis).
Tips to help you get the most from a visit to your healthcare provider:
Stay Informed.

Despite tremendous obstacles, 125 youth sponsored through CFCA and some scholarship students graduated from high school in December 2010.
My name is Manuel Pineda. I am the coordinator in the CFCA project in Santa Barbara, Honduras.
As coordinator, I have witnessed the efforts made by students in my country to reach their educational goals, especially those who live in rural areas.
Students are constantly tempted to drop out of school because of burdens such as economic limitations, lack of support and absence of parents, lack of public transportation to school, insufficient and inadequate nutrition, etc.
Manuel Pineda
In December 2010, our CFCA project in Santa Barbara celebrated the graduation of 125 sponsored members and some scholarship students from high school in areas like business administration, social service, Spanish teaching, tourism and automotive mechanics. Some graduated as technicians in refrigeration, computers and nursing.
Many of these students had to work to cover part of their educational expenses. Others had to walk more than 6 miles to get to school, but with the support of CFCA, they have had the chance to reach their professional dreams.
"I thank CFCA for supporting me since fourth grade up to finishing my high school. When my mother passed away, I did receive economic and spiritual support," said Nancy, a sponsored girl who graduated from high school after studying business administration.
Parents of Mirta, a sponsored girl and now a computer technician, told us, "We had five children and only Mirta has had the chance to give us the joy of seeing her graduate because we never pictured having this in our life."
I have been able to appreciate the joy of these parents, a couple in their 70s, to see the success of their daughter, which they consider a family achievement.
The graduated students have demonstrated they are capable, with good behavior and great discipline, once given an opportunity. CFCA helps them to overcome the obstacles that they face daily.
When I reflect on these achievements, I see how CFCA is an active source of hope, helping the sponsored members and their families to be strong and to transform their own realities.

Rural HIV-Infected Women's Access to Medical Care: Ongoing Needs in California
August 5, 2011
In much of the United States, "little is known about HIV care among rural populations," the authors wrote. Women living with HIV in rural areas often have considerably less access to care than their counterparts in urban and suburban settings. The current study explores barriers to care for HIV-positive women in rural California. Research methods included retrospective structured interviews with 64 women in rural areas receiving HIV care at 11 health care facilities, which were randomly sampled. All HIV-positive females in care at these facilities during a specified time range were eligible.
The following proportions of respondents cited these barriers to care:
- 32.8 percent cited physical health problems that prevented travel to access care. Compared to being married or single, being divorced, separated or widowed was associated with reporting physical health as a barrier (p=0.03).
- 31.2 percent cited lack of transportation. Being unemployed (p=0.003) or having to travel 31-90 minutes (p=0.007, compared to less than 31 or more than 90 minutes) were both associated with citing transportation as a barrier.
- 25.0 percent cited inability to navigate the health care system. Speaking English rather than Spanish was associated with difficulty navigating the health care system (p=0.04).
Twenty-four (37.5 percent) of the women missed an HIV-related medical appointment in the preceding 12 months, chiefly due to physical health and transportation problems. Difficulty traveling to appointments was reported by 29 (45.3 percent) of the women.
"Physical health and transportation problems were both the major barriers to accessing health services and the primary reasons for missing HIV care appointments among this population of HIV-infected women living in rural areas," the authors concluded. "Providing transportation programs and/or mobile clinics, as well as providing support for patients with physical limitations, may be essential to improving access to HIV care in rural areas."

Add witches broom to your Halloween hunt
A Bay Weekly reader asked if I had seen an odd-looking pine tree growing on the west side of Rt. 4 about a quarter-mile south of the Patuxent River Bridge.
It's a witches broom, and I have been admiring it for at least 10 years. The tree is some 20 feet tall and grows on the edge of the woods about 100 feet from the side of the road.
Witches brooms are abnormal dense growth on a branch or stem of a tree or shrub. On high-bush blueberries, they are caused by bacteria and are detrimental to the plant. The infected plants should be dug up and burnt to prevent the spread of this disease.
How to Prepare Your Leaves for Composting
Broken and shredded leaves compost faster than whole leaves. Grind up fallen leaves with the lawnmower, or let the kids jump and romp through piles — before you place them in the compost bin. If you have a shredder, use the fine screen to pulverize the leaves and they will compost even faster.
Witches broom on confiners such as pine, spruce, fir or hemlock are typically caused by a genetic mutation.
When I was an undergraduate at the University of New Hampshire, one of the faculty was interested in collecting and trying to propagate witches-brooms by rooting cuttings. The man was single, and did most of his collecting on weekends. We would travel the country roads looking for them, and I would climb the trees to gather samples.
When a small article on his witches broom studies appeared in the state newspaper, The Union Leader, he was flooded with leads throughout the state. We spent many weekends collecting samples. He soon discovered a plant scientist in Connecticut with a similar interest, and the two exchange samples and results.
Of the thousands of cuttings we harvested, we were never able to obtain rooting. However, one day I found small cones on a hemlock witches broom we had collected near my home in New Hampshire. We were able to germinate seeds from the cones. Long after I had come to Maryland to complete my studies, my old professor informed me that those seedlings had developed into small compact shrubs with strong dwarf characteristics. The scientist in Connecticut made a similar discovery from cones produced by witches broom on pine and fir.
Neither of the plant scientists was ever able to clone the witches broom by rooting cuttings.
The next time you are traveling south on Rt. 4, look to the right after you pass the little shopping center south of the Patuxent River Bridge. Look smart and you'll see the witches broom growing on a Virginia pine.
Ask Dr. Gouin your questions at [email protected]. All questions will appear in Bay Weekly. Please include your name and address.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – For the fifth time in six years, the MIT women's volleyball team earned top honors at the MIT Quad Tournament held this past weekend. With MIT, nationally-ranked No. 25 UMass Boston, and Lebanon Valley College each compiling a 2-1 tournament ledger, sets won-lost among the tied teams determined the final rankings. The Engineers came out on top with a 7-3 mark, followed by UMass Boston (7-4), and Lebanon Valley (6-4). Bates College rounded out the field with a fourth-place finish.
MIT (16-10) kicked off the tournament with a 25-15, 25-20, 25-21 win over Bates and then fell to UMass Boston, 20-25, 25-17, 25-19, 25-20. The Engineers bounced back with a solid 30-28, 26-24, 25-18 victory over Lebanon Valley. Kelly Schulte was voted the Tournament MVP while Katie Spielbauer was picked for All-Tournament Team plaudits.
The Engineers also registered record-breaking performances in their battle with Lebanon Valley. Kristine Bunker's 12 blocks established a new Institute standard for blocks in a three-set match and tied the record for blocks in a match. As a team MIT compiled 16 blocks, setting a new mark for blocks in a three-set match.
In Friday's opener with Bates, Schulte tallied 10 kills, a .368 hitting percentage, five assists on seven setting attempts, and three blocks. Trinity Leonard posted 10 kills and two blocks as Cecily Joujon-Roche added seven kills, a .353 hitting performance, and two blocks. Jenny Li contributed seven kills while Bunker notched four blocks. Katie Spielbauer recorded 14 digs and two aces as Natasha Jensen chipped in seven digs and four aces. Sharon Hao registered the first of two double-doubles during the weekend as she finished with 28 assists and 12 digs.
Bunker had an efficient outing versus UMass Boston, posting nine kills on 11 errorless attempts for a .818 hitting percentage to go along with four blocks. Joujon-Roche racked up nine kills, a .318 hitting performance, and four blocks which included three solo stops. Li compiled 13 digs, 11 kills, and two blocks as Leonard recorded 10 kills and nine digs. Schulte posted six kills and two blocks while Spielbauer added 12 digs and two aces. Jensen collected 13 digs as Hao totaled 39 assists and 12 digs.
Li led the way for MIT in its sweep of Lebanon Valley with 14 kills while Schulte racked up 11 kills, a .360 hitting percentage, and eight blocks. Leonard tallied nine kills, a .348 hitting performance, six digs, three aces, and three blocks. Joujon-Roche chipped in three blocks and two aces as Spielbauer amassed 19 digs and two aces. Jensen added 13 digs while Jess Fessler bolstered the back row with eight digs. Hao dished out 36 assists in the win.

Wanda Sykes can check off every important voter demographic in the upcoming election. She's black, she's female, she's gay and she's even in an interracial marriage. So it makes sense that the Logo network, which features programming geared to the LGBT audience, would tap her to do an election special. The second part of the NewNowNext Vote with Wanda Sykes" airs on Logo on Monday night at 10:30 p.m., the night before what may be the country's most important election ever.
Sykes will use her already well-known skills for political satire (she was the first ever black female to MC the White House Correspondent's Dinner) on the show, which features a roundtable format and bipartisan experts who talk about all the issues that are significant in this election from gay marriage to the economy to immigration.
"I'm excited to be working with Logo, the network that offers a voice to the LGBT community," Sykes said in a statement. "These specials will be thought-provoking, exciting and the perfect forum to discuss important issues facing our community. Plus, it is Logo so maybe I'll get to dress in drag!"
Watch the full-length version of Part 1 of the "NewNowNext" special here.
Below is a clip from Part 2 of "NewNowNext Vote with Wanda Sykes" where she says she talks about her support for Obama.
One thought on "Get Out the Vote With Wanda Sykes"
I love Wanda Sikes. Would love to meet her in person.

New items on our menu!
Those of you who are frequent guests know that we have many classic items on our menu. Our Breakfast Smiles, Nantucket Cod, and of course, the Superburger are perennial favorites among guests. However, we try to add fresh, new selections to our menu at least a few times a year.
So, allow me to introduce you to a few items that we've just added. First, our Chicken Fiesta Omelette. We've stuffed this 3-egg omelette with grilled fajita-seasoned chicken, Pepper Jack cheese and onions, and we've topped it with spicy queso sauce and tortilla strips. You might ask, "Who eats chicken for breakfast - and how did you come up with this one?" Well, just last year, John Frick and I took a trip to San Diego where we tasted a similar item. We returned home, shared it with our menu development committee, and after a few tweaks to make it our own, the Chicken Fiesta Omelette was born.
The next two additions are guest favorites from our fall specials menu. You ordered, we listened! The Mile-High Meatloaf and the Gourmet Grilled Cheese are two comfort foods that are now here to stay. The meatloaf is stacked with mashed potatoes, gravy, and onion rings – all atop grilled Italian bread. Ever wondered how meatloaf came to be? Check out my earlier post on this American institution. The Gourmet Grilled Cheese is a fresh take on a classic sandwich, with melted American, Swiss, and Pepper Jack cheeses and bacon on grilled six-grain bread. It makes my mouth water just writing about it.
Keep an eye out for new specials and menu items throughout the year. And, when we have a special that you really like, let us know by posting your comments here. We may just decide to put it on the regular menu!
Until next time,
Regis Share
