This past Saturday, I met with my critique group. I've known most of these writers a good few years and so it was great to see all of them and catch up with them on their work.
One of the writers just signed a contract and she brought her LONG editorial letter. Another one is getting her illustrations back for her picture book. There are lot of great things going on with my group.
During one of my bookstore browses, I found an interesting craft book, The Writing and Critique Group Survival Guide by Becky Levine. There seems to be a lot of good advice on how to start a critique group, what kind of critique group is right for you, and learning how to receive feedback.
Critique groups are tricky because learning to critique I believe is something you get from experience. Also learning to take and listen to critiques can be something you get better with in time.
For the next two weeks, I'm going to share with you some of my critique group experiences and what I learned.
This week, I'm going to talk about what makes a good critique group (for me, at least):
Consists of published writers and aspiring writers. I love that the writers in my critique group are published and/or writing under contract. I learn from their experiences. But also having aspiring writers in your group can be beneficial as well. These emerging writers can look at work more as readers which is very important.
Writers who write in my genre. I've tried to be in critique groups where I was the only YA or MG writer and it was hard for the group to evaluate my work. It helps if you can find writers who write in the same genre. If you write mysteries, try to find mystery writers. Romance? Find romance writers. Sometimes having not to worry about explaining the nuances of the genre saves time and eliminates confusion.
Having a group leader or mediator. Sometimes this is usually the founder or even can be a writer mentor and/or teacher. It helps to have someone in charge of the session (if meeting in person). This is not a requirement if you're working in a small group or with a partner, but having a critique leader helps to keep members on subject and makes the session go smoothly. This position can also be rotated if necessary.
Writers of good disposition. We all know that writers are "artists" but that doesn't mean that they have to be "a**holes." It helps if the writers in your group have a good personality and can take comments and critique on their work. This is why we meet with critique groups. To find ways to make our work stronger. Not to argue about it.
Next week, I'll talk about how I approach critiques and then I'll wrap up the following week with how I receive critique feedback.
Would love to hear from writers about their own critique group experiences and what they look for in a critique group.

Disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong misses deadline to appeal being stripped of Tour de France titles
- December 29, 2012
Disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong missed the deadline to lodge an appeal over being stripped of his seven Tour de France titles for systematic doping, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) announced.
Armstrong has been wiped from the record books, with all of his achievements since August 1998 binned by the International Cycling Union (UCI) after he was accused of being at the heart of sports' biggest ever doping scandal.
The UCI notified the Texan on December 6 that he had until December 27 to appeal his lifetime ban.
Armstrong, who has always denied doping, had already announced in August that he was dropping his legal challenge against the allegations made against him by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA).
The International Olympic Committee (IOC), who had been waiting on the result of any appeal, could now demand that Armstrong returns the time-trial bronze medal he won at the Sydney Olympics in 2000.

Bloody cheat. Worst kind of human. The fact that he started 'Livestrong' and has helped thousands of people makes his nefariousness even worse. Bow your head in shame Lance.
Chemical Awareness of Sydney says December 29, 2012 at 3:20 PM
You cannot help but wonder how political these administrations are when a sports person who has never failed a test, is banned for life. What do you call an investigation that relies on the opinions of fellow competitors? It's called a witch hunt. Seriously some of these sports administrators need to accept they were never good enough to make it, so stop hacking on the people that are.

Cyberclean Price: $14/500grams.Contact: www.musicway.com.au
This product claims to remove the grime that builds up in the recesses of keyboards and other regularly used devices. This grime, as we know, can be difficult to budge with a simple cotton bud or shake. The Cyberclean is a soft, gel-like compound that claims to get into crevices you can't reach. It comes in a plastic bucket or resealable foil packet and can be used a number of times before its effectiveness wears off. This is indicated by a change in colour.
The simple-to-follow instructions show someone pushing the gel into a keyboard and removing it, showing detritus adhering to the gel. You then fold it over and use it again. Once you are done, put it back into its container to prevent drying out. It's biodegradable and seems simple to use. The Cyberclean instructions say to roll it between your hands so they adjust to the gel's pH level. Press the gel into a keyboard so it sinks slowly down into the key components. After ten seconds or so of pressure, lift it off and the product drags a lot of what you expect to find hidden behind the keys out – hair, skin and assorted food particles. Cyberclean claims to kill most bacteria it comes into contact with, however it doesn't get everywhere - it still leaves some detritus behind, especially if you have a deep keyboard or small spaces it can't reach. Cyberclean may not have reached the bottom of our keyboard but did clean between the keys, removing the dust. How long it lasts depends on how much grime you have. By the time we finished cleaning around five well-used keyboards, it had almost changed to the colour for disposal.
The packaging hype of Cyberclean doesn't claim to remove everything. Which is good, because it doesn't. However, it does remove a lot of keyboard grime. If you enjoy having a clean and hygienic keyboard, you might want to invest in this product and supplement it with a shake – it's cheaper than buying a new keyboard and you could argue it's more sustainable. However if a simple shake and wipe over of the keys is good enough, we don't recommend this product for you.

Rethinking Rehearsal Dinners
Eat, Drink, and Practice Getting Married
by Lisa Edd

Mother-In-Law 101
The rehearsal dinner can double as a way to bond with your fiancé's parents and make them feel included. It's also a great opportunity to focus their energy on something besides your wedding invitation list! As an added bonus, putting someone else in charge will take the pressure off you to make the event great. And even if your tastes aren't exactly meshing, there are ways to strike a compromise. Event designer Alex Alexander of Alex Events recalls a couple who just couldn't agree with the groom's parents on a venue for their pre-wedding dinner. "The parents had dinner at a more formal restaurant with their friends, and the bride and groom dined at a more casual place with the wedding party. Then they all met up after the meal at a local bar and had cocktails to toast the occasion. Everyone was happy!"
Add Some Ethnic Flair
If you can't manage (or afford!) to honor both you and your groom's family customs on the big day, here's your chance to show how two worlds really can become one. Serve food from both backgrounds, or play traditional music from both cultures. Get everyone to join in by teaching a time-honored dance or song, invite a belly dancer or hire a Mehndi artist to decorate your guests. Of course, as Tosca Clark points out, parts of the USA can be like a whole other country: if your groom's family hails from the South, for example, an outdoor barbecue complete with checkered tablecloths and line dancing can produce a grand ol' time!
A Gourmet Gathering
In your fantasy wedding reception, your guests enjoy a five-star, seven-course culinary extravaganza paired with pricey wines. But, alas, given your budget reality (not to mention your picky teenage cousins!), you've opted for a three-star, three-course repast for the main event instead. Hence the beauty of the rehearsal dinner: with its much smaller guest list, it offers the perfect opportunity to explore a more refined, more exciting menu. So go ahead and reserve the private dining room at that always-packed restaurant where you can never seem to get a table on a Friday night. "Your rehearsal dinner is the one wedding event where you can sit back and really enjoy your guests along with a superb meal," says Alex Alexander.
Opportunities to release your inner foodie abound: If sushi's your passion, serve a gorgeous array of Japanese delicacies accompanied by a glittering Hollywood cityscape at Yamashiro, or reserve the fantastical Fireplace Room at Cuistot in Palm Desert, and bask in the award-winning California French cuisine of Chef Bernard Dervieux.
Getting There In Style
Alex Alexander suggests that providing transportation from the rehearsal location or the hotel where many of your out-of-town guests are staying to the rehearsal dinner site is an effective way to start the party right. Not only does it get people instantly mingling, but, reminds Alex, "You and your guests don't have to worry about anyone drinking and driving, and no one gets stuck in traffic or lost." With a little foresight, you can match the transportation to the theme of your event, or honor someone special. Reserve some of your future hubby's favorite muscle cars to chauffeur your guests around town, or escort them in style to your Art Deco venue in vintage cars from the 1920s and 30s. George Rose of Elegant Journey Limousine can give you some inspiration.

Shovel your driveway and paths, check neighbors' driveways and then grab all your closest little ones and find the biggest sledding hill. Snowmen also are a must. Snow days are a great time to catch up on missed shows and much-needed rest. I love snowdays, they haven't changed one bit even as an adult, although I am sure not all working adults can say that, but I am happy I can. I was excited to see the snowmen and other snow sculptures throughout the Lawrence and Kansas City metro areas.

The first such event hosted by Bikers Café, Jumeirah Cruisin' was a shout out to Dubai's petrolhead fraternity. Attendance was by invite only, making for an exclusive event comprising a rich collection of elite supercars, delectable classics and exquisite custom bikes. It was literally a traffic stopper, with a staggering number of motorists on Jumeirah's posh beach road either slowing down to a crawl or even parking their cars and popping over to the café to have a look at the awesome metal on display. Dubai Police also graciously accepted the invitation to the event, bringing along two of their newly acquired supercars, a Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 and a Ferrari FF, both proudly done up in police livery. Other highlights of the show, apart from the custom bikes, included a pair of Ford GTs, McLaren MP4-12C, classics like the Corvette Stingray, BMW 6 Series E24, Porsche 993, golden oldies like the Mini Cooper and Volkswagen Beetle, modified muscle cars, pick-ups, hot rods and many more. Spectators were also treated to the latest Audi RS4 Avant and Jaguar's new F-Type sports car. Continue reading →

Bikers Café celebrates second birthday!
From its inception on the 6th of May 2011, Bikers Café was a very daring concept, an innovatively themed one-of-a-kind restaurant, the like of which no one had ever laid eyes upon in the UAE, or the Middle East for that matter. We gently nurtured it and savoured every minute of its progress, and now, on this very day, two years later, we take huge pride in saying that the ground-breaking café is a cheeky two years old. And what better way to celebrate the birthday than to have a big party, with all those customers and fans who've been with us all through, and the new ones who're coming in for the very first time! And so it was yesterday, with a massive turnout of bikers and non-bikers attending the festivity. Continue reading →

Dubai / Torres' towering win next to world's tallest building
Dany Torres of Spain won a gripping battle of the champions at the Red Bull X-Fighters World Tour stop in Dubai on Friday, as the 2011 World Tour winner narrowly defeated defending champion Levi Sherwood of New Zealand by a score of 3-2 on a challenging dirt course in front of the world's tallest building – the spectacular 828-meter Burj Khalifa. France's Thomas Pages won the Swatch Best Move award for his crowd-pleasing "volt" jump that had him spinning in mid-air off the seat of his bike to the cheers of 13,000 spectators. It was a thrilling event at the Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard, in Downtown Dubai, under the patronage of H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Dubai Sports Council and in the presence of H.H. Sheikh Majid bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairman of the Dubai Culture and Arts Authority. The Dubai stop of Red Bull X-Fighters is supported by du under its live entertainment platform "du Live!" and organized in association with Emaar and Ford. Continue reading →

Cook the pasta shells according to package directions. Add the edamame at the beginning, and cook along with the pasta. When the pasta and edamame are done, drain and return to the saucepan.Meanwhile, while the pasta is cooking, heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until golden, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the shrimp and lemon juice, and cook until heated through, an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Mix the shrimp (and its juices), tomato sauce, and Parmesan cheese into the cooked pasta. Season with salt and pepper, heat through, and serve. *Tip: Any pasta shape is fine for this dish, but the shells are nice because they "trap" the edamame.

Understanding Media and Packet Processing in VoIP Networks
Source: Performance Technologies
IP networks are increasingly being used to deliver enhanced voice services. Unlike the PSTN, elements in a VoIP network are distributed and utilize flexible signaling protocols and open application interfaces to advance the development and deployment of new voice services. Media and packet processing subsystems provide the enabling technology to connect VoIP networks to legacy TDM networks and to deliver IP media streams that represent the "voice" in the voice services application. As such, these subsystems are at the center of media gateway and media server functions in the VoIP network. This seminar will explain how media and packet processing enables media gateways and media servers in a VoIP network and will explore critical requirements for these processing functions.

Ok, time to wrap up the Vegas trip posts (though who knows it might make a guest appearance in future post... never say never). We always try to see a show while we are in Vegas and Caesars Palace is pretty much ground zero of late. Right now, the rotation is pretty much the gay trinity: Elton John (though his last engagement is in a few weeks), Cher, and Bette Midler. We had already seen Elton in Vegas, so it was down to the gay Sophie's Choice decision of choosing between Cher and Bette - both who were in the house around the time we were planning on heading to Sin City. Since Cher has an extra year on her contract, we decided to on Bette (though either would have been a "no lose" scenario).
This was our 3rd time seeing the Divine Miss M. We saw her in the last week of 1999 and she was prepping her big Vegas arena millennium show and a few years back for the "Kiss My Brass" tour. We figured that was probably last time since she was (or was nearing) age 60 and given the rigors of touring, but Vegas provides a wonderful opportunity for a legend to stay put and have folks come to her (or him).
That said, this show (despite a much shallower stage the more "mature" post-Celine headliners are using) is certainly not anything less rigorous than what Bette did on the road. She is constantly scurrying back and forth on the stage... and comically falls down once and crying out "Celine, come back all is forgiven. Elton! Cher! Help!".... ending with perhaps my favorite line of the night "Donny and Marie cross the f&cking street!" (the Osmonds siblings headline a show at the Flamingo, which is right across the street from Caesars).
As the show title, "The Showgirl Must Go On," suggests she really turns the show into an old-school Vegas spectacular with a gaggle of showgirls she dubs the Caesar Salad Girls. I always forget how much humor Bette brings to her shows. I also think this may be the biggest surprised for some audience member who just think of her as that nice woman who sings ballads like "From A Distance," "The Rose," and "Wind Beneath My Wings." Bette joked that 30 years ago her audience was on drugs, now they're on medication... and for the Wednesday night performance that we attended, I don't think that was that much of a joke. For 40-somethings, we certainly felt like whipper-snappers, particularly with the folks on either side of us (maybe they're the only ones that could afford non-comped/high roller Orchestra ticket prices!). But Bette certainly isn't shy about dropping f-bombs or railing against right wingers like Palin and Limbaugh. And you can tell she keeps the act current/fresh as we had material on Madoff and the Octo-Mom.
Bette even goofed up twice. I am still not sure if it was "part of the act" but her reactions both times seemed pretty genuine. Once was during her Soph routine, where she muffed the start mixing up whether it was from her boyfriend Ernie or her girlfriend Clementine... and another time, when she said she messed up her "best/big note" on a song and went back and did it again. Very funny and self-effacing both times!
So anyhow, I would highly recommend the show. Bette is such a crowd pleaser!
Ok, now for the extra special, extra fun part! We met Kamilah, one of Bette's Staggering Harlettes!
It's really an instance of never knowing where life will take you or who knows who. Funny enough, we had already seen Kamilah as she was Harlette-ing for Bette during her "Kiss My Brass" tour a few years back. So how did this all come about? Well, my friend Jen (who I "met" via this very blog) is friends with Kamilah. I can't exactly remember how I found that out, but I am sure, at some point, Jen knew I would go bonkers having this kinda sorta "six degrees of separation" going with Bette Midler. And truthfully that was good/fun enough for me!
Anyhow, fast-forward a bit... Kamilah said she would come out and say hello to us after the show! We pretty quickly spotted each other in the throngs of folks in the casino as Kamilah joked it shouldn't be that difficult to spot a black woman looking for a pair of gay guys (though I think that latter is a tad more challenging at a Bette concert).
Kamilah (to Bette's left in that above picture - gorgeous, huh?!!) could not have been nicer, it was like meeting up with a friend and not this admittedly pretty odd online friend of a friend thing... honestly I am not sure I would have done the same if I were in her shoes. We had a nice chat about the show and totally unprompted (!!) she had very nice things to say about her boss, which I was glad to hear... always hate to have one's fantasies of a celeb must be like in-person shattered to pieces.
Knowing we were going to meet up, I did pay special attention to the Harlettes during the show and I have to say I didn't realize how hard they worked... not only back-up singers, but dancing (and in this show, heading dance routines w/ the showgirls while Bette rested/costume-changed) and providing a foil for Bette. And I'm guessing Kamilah & Co. made hopping around in a mermaid tail a lot easier than it looked. Kamilah mentioned at some points in the show they are off-stage changing costumes while providing back-up vocals!
It was a big thrill for us to meet Kamilah (check out her FB fanpage here), no surprise that folks in the performing arts have my utmost respect (envy! awe! and I hadn't even mentioned Kamilah has been in "Hairspray," "Rent," and "The Lion King"!?!) and we look forward to her upcoming "funkabilly" album... and another big shout-out/thanks for Jen for setting it all up!
(Note: The fuzzy-ish show poster first picture is mine, the 2nd one - with Bette & Kamilah - is "borrowed" from the 'net... no cameras allowed inside the Colosseum)

Romeo, Mich.: Seven miles per gallon. Yup, seven lousy miles per gallon.
That's what the tiny digital display in the Lincoln MKS — it of Ford's much-ballyhooed EcoBoost technology — was displaying. Seven. Miles. Per. Gallon.
Now, here's the real story. The reason I was getting such paltry fuel economy is that I was hurtling along a huge eight-kilometre banked high-speed oval in Ford's Michigan Proving Ground (MPG) and the speedometer, just to the right of those minuscule digits, was indicating 135 miles per hour, the new MKS's governed top speed. Yup, rocketing around at top speed, the MKS gets about the same mileage as a typical ginormous SUV driving around town.
Driven at a more sedate 75 mph (120 kilometres an hour), the MKS averaged about 24 miles per U.S. gallon. No official EPA or Transport Canada figures are available yet, but my very non-scientific experiment says the big Lincoln sedan will average 9.6 litres per 100 kilometres. More importantly, that's four more miles per U.S. gallon than Infiniti claims for its V8-powered M45.
And, indeed, that is the total raison d'être for Ford's EcoBoost program. It's essentially a new range of V6 (for now; fours will be added later) engines that benefit from a combination of direct fuel injection and turbochargers to offer the power of big-displacement V8s but with the fuel economy of a small six (the fours will claim the power of a six with the economy of a four). Lincoln's projected EPA numbers for the EcoBoost-equipped MKS (18 mpg in town and 24 mpg on the highway) are slightly higher than the 16 and 23 mpg rating for the naturally aspirated — and far less powerful — all-wheel-drive version of the 2009 MKS 3.7-litre.
Of course, those fuel economy numbers only carry merit if the relatively small 3.5L V6 powering the new MKS does emulate the urge of a V8.
I'm happy to point out that, for the most part, the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 lives up to Ford's billing. Indeed, in a few ways, it exceeds expectations, bettering even some of the sophisticated V8s (Cadillac's 4.6L STS and Infiniti's M45) that Ford brought along for a test.
The greatest surprise is that the turbocharged V6 is as torquey as both larger-displacement V8s. In fact, it is more so. Thanks to Ford's decision to use two tiny turbochargers instead of one larger compressor, the turbines are able to "spool up" at lower engine speeds, providing more boost — and, therefore, more torque — at lower rpm. Indeed, Ford claims that the MKS's maximum torque of 350 pound-feet is available at a low 1,800 rpm.
Nonetheless, the MKS feels plenty powerful off the line and in passing manoeuvres. There's virtually no "turbo lag" since those two small compressors react so quickly and there's plenty of urge to move the MKS, despite its somewhat portly 1,944-kilogram curb weight. The same applies to passing acceleration; starting from almost any speed, the MKS rocketed forward with far more enthusiasm than either of the V8-powered competitors.
And, while not quite as sonorous as either of the two V8s, it is still very pleasing to the ear. It also feels very sophisticated, with none of the harshness common to V6s and some lesser V8s, even Ford's own Triton engines.
The only downside — and for this segment, in this country, it's not particularly crucial — is that, despite a claimed 355 horses at 5,700 rpm, the EcoBoost V6 runs out of breath at high rpm. Both competitive V8s — exemplary examples of the breed — seem much more eager at high revs. Blame those two turbochargers that help create that low-end torque. Small enough to react quickly to the exhaust gases at low rpm, they are also small enough to cause a restriction at higher engine speeds, thus limiting maximum horsepower at peak revs. In turbocharging, as with most things, there is no free lunch.
As for the rest of the MKS, much is improved. In my first outing in the base 3.7L version, I enjoyed the car's interior but lamented the lack of urge and the original car's overly plush and too-soft suspension. Lincoln has responded to these criticisms with an all-new suspension calibration for the EcoBoost MKS. Stiffer in every regard — bushings, springs and dampers — the boosted version is far more sporting. On the MPG test track, I tossed the MKS into high-speed turns that would have had the original wallowing like a 20-foot skiff in a Cape Horn typhoon. Instead, the turbocharged MKS remained flat and on line, more committed to handling high speeds than any Lincoln before it. It may not be a BMW, but the MKS feels as sporting as an Audi A6, an appropriate comparator since, like Audi's mid-sized sedan, it too features an all-wheel-drive powertrain.
The MKS interior is also superior to the original's. There's a tan leather version that is positively European and some new faux leatherette used on the dashboard, door trim and door handles convincing enough that even some of Ford's public relations personnel couldn't be sure if it was real or not.
There's new faux "turned metal" trim bits as well and it's all finished — despite the fact that these were early production prototypes — quite well.
Interiors have been a strength for Ford's luxury arm for a few years now and the MKS is no exception.
The MKS is quite simply the best Lincoln ever made. For a company that seemed doomed to making nothing but Town Cars just a few short years ago, the transformation is nothing short of amazing and an indication of why FoMoCo is currently the best situated of any of the Detroit Three.
Canadian pricing for the EcoBoost Lincoln MKS starts at $52,999. It arrives later this spring.

Cafe Flourish
Meatless on the Miracle Mile
5406 Wilshire Blvd. (west of La Brea)
Phone: 323-939-3932 | map | website
Carol Elaine is a longtime friend of ours--since high school, and we shan't mention how long ago that was--and also a pretty mean wordsmith. Today we are graced with a review. Thankfully, it did not occur to her to ask for compensation. - Dave & Bianca
Café Flourish is a new kid on the Mid-Wilshire block and a much welcome one to Los Angeles vegans and vegetarians. Sure, you can't swing a toy stuffed cat without hitting a vegan Thai restaurant, but not only do even vegetarians get tired of Thai food, some of the restaurants are a little questionable in their veganness.*
The restaurant is a small space with four very cozy tables inside and two long benches outside, encouraging conversation with your neighbor without forcing it on them. It's clean yet warm in design, with the exception of a rather odd moss wall hanging against one small wall, but don't let that, or the crunchy-hippy food names and order makers put you off.** This is vegan comfort food that omnivores will love.
Truth is, when my boyfriend Lee and I go, we each always get the same thing: I crave the BLTA and he's got the hots for the vegan reuben. Mind you, everything looks absolutely scrumptious (one of these days I'm going to have to try the SMac 'N" Cheese), but when you've got perfection in a sandwich, it's hard to cheat on it for a BBQ pizza.
The BLTA is smoky tempeh bacon, roma tomatoes, red leaf lettuce and avocado with a spicy vegannaise on half-toasted white bread. Sounds absurdly simple, but the top notch ingredients take the sandwich from average to, "Ohwowohwowohwow, that's so damned good!"
Okay, so no one who's ever had bacon is going to be fooled into thinking that the crunchy stuff inside is bacon, but it doesn't have to taste like bacon to be good. And this stuff is good. The tempeh is deep in flavor and crispy in texture, its taste marrying well with the bright roma tomatoes, the liquid crunch of the red leaf lettuce and the creamy, rich avocadoes. The spicy vegannaise gives just a touch of heat - a perfect accompaniment.
But the bread brings it all together. My bread preference tends to fall along hearty grain breads and robust ryes and sourdoughs, but using half-toasted white bread is a stroke of brilliance. The toasted inside keeps the sandwich from devolving into a soggy mess, while the soft outside provides a nice texture contrast for your mouth and doesn't overwhelm the subtle balance inside as heartier bread might. Delicate, filling and just a tad zesty, this is a sandwich you could take home to meet mama.
Lee's got a thing for the vegan reuben, which I've enjoyed, but wasn't as won over as he was. I love rye bread and sauerkraut, but those flavors were too subtle for what should be a full bodied sandwich, I felt the avocado competed with the dressing and the texture of the tempeh here didn't quite work for me. Don't get me wrong, it's still a damned good sandwich. But I won't be giving up my BLTA any time soon.
As for sides, I haven't tried anything besides the quinoa tabbouleh. The fantastically fresh ingredients just leap on your tongue and do a happy little flavor dance. Quinoa is hard to cook well, but Café Flourish has got it down. Combine that with finely chopped pine nuts, parsley, green onions, tiny currants and a light fresh dressing and you won't even look at other sides.
There are various non-alcoholic drinks and desserts available. I recently had an Oreo cupcake that was fluffy, rich and moist and which I will be craving again. Parking is available on Wilshire and the side streets, but make sure to check the signs and feed the meters - it's an anti-gridlock area, which means no parking during designated times of the day.
* Neither oyster sauce nor casein (a milk product commonly found in soy cheeses) are vegan. Some "vegan" Thai places don't seem get this concept.
* * The BLTA's real name is "Be Love, Thanks & Abundance" and the order markers that are given say such things as, "You are Abundant!" I love that kind of thing, but it may annoy people who aren't as hippie-granola as I am. Trust me, the food is where it's at.
Thanks to an ordinary goddess for introducing us to another capable vegan eatery, for taking a bevy of excellent photos, and for writing brilliantly about it. Carol, any time you want to write more, let us know. Dave must take care lest she decide to start her own food-related blog. - Dave & Bianca

Green Leaves Vegan
1769 Hillhurst Ave (south of Franklin)
Phone: 323-664-2345 | map | website
The original review for Green Leaves can be read here.
There has been controversy between vegan customers, who naturally and rightfully prefer their food entirely devoid of animal products, and some restaurants (especially ones focusing on vegetarian/vegan Thai cuisine) who, knowingly or unknowingly, served products with stuff like casein or egg. Green Leaves had planted itself thoroughly in the middle, with apparently damning results. Read about the initial testing process at the ever-vigilant quarrygirl.
Green Leaves has been confrontational about it toward those who press the issue, even going so far as to briefly post a certificate of truth-in-menu, which was removed when it was found to be inauthentic.
I don't know why the resistance is so forceful; if one claims to be a vegan eatery, one should use only certain ingredients regardless of cost, and change them if they discover that an ingredient doesn't qualify (some restaurants have done this, as they were not aware of an ingredient's non-vegan status and honestly wanted to correct this).
This means, of course, that you are in the right to refuse to patronize Green Leaves, and many of my friends do. For the sake of comprehensiveness, I'm keeping the review available, but with the caveat that Green Leaves is not the most popular of places. It may have always been vegan, or have updated its menu and is now completely vegan, according to sources, but it might also have heavy-shouldered lawyers who don't write English at all well, either.

Last summer we were playing a game; it was my brother's idea. He said,
"If I was a country, what country would I be? For instance, Ingrid would be Cuba."
(And all this time I thought no one had noticed.) England and France were the most highly desirable nations by my siblings, for reasons unknown to me. Then my mom spoke.
"No. If Ingrid was a country she would be Greece."
Immediately hot, blinded by insult, I replied,
"What the shit, Mom? What are you trying to say? That I'm bad with money??"
My mom is the picture of an enigma. She can make a comment that makes me half-crazy, and then I realize that maybe it is I who is the fool for taking a riddler so seriously. Once, she accused me half-heartedly of being a gold-digger. Now this blew me away, and I had to remind her that,
"Mom, I have never even had a boyfriend with a car, let alone a bank account. I am the WORST gold-digger of all time, a failure."
She laughed in a way as to suggest that she knew otherwise. I was left shaking my head and further aging the vertical wrinkle that runs between my eyebrows, the wrinkle of confusion from anti-logic.
She does make up for her mystery by being a really good sport. She may be the only person who would ever laugh at an unfunny joke of mine, in which I roll my eyes and say, "The Treaty of Versailles made me do it." She thought that one was great. And when I told her I was getting divorced she shook her own head and said, "Heidi Klum? Johnny Depp? And now you? What is going on in the world?!"
She never makes demands or has any expectations for me to fulfill. This is obviously a two-way street because she never pushed me to "be" something. In fact, there was an incident when I was 18 where, at a dinner-party, a Columbian intellectual friend of my Uncle's was angrily telling me I HAD to go to college; not being able to defend myself against this South American, my mom glided silently in front of me, with her big hair, and told him very intensely that, "Ingrid… can DO whatever she wants. If she doesn't WANT to go to college then that is HER choice." I never saw my mom step up and defend me, or anyone else really, so it threw me off; and also, I mean, when the hell has any white middle-class mother of four encouraged one of her children to "do whatever they wanted?"
The flip-side of such a riddle is that now, at 36, I watch my friends and their careers age and mature, whereas I am still scraping around looking for part-time gigs, ones that will pay all the bills and leave me with enough money to buy expensive cheese I never tried before. I suppose the truth is that I would have liked to, by this point in my life, be able to look at the $20 wines, not still the $10 bottles.
Today I filled out a job application, the first one in 12 years. I have been working part-time from home for a long time now and it has been great, but it doesn't add up without a second income in my house; so when my friend asked if I was interested in becoming a simulated patient at a nearby medical college, I said yes.
My mom, and even my brother, think this will be great for me; a perfect fit. My brother agreed with me that it was somewhere in-between selling my blood and poor acting, but he believed it was more respectable than being a nude model (that just sounds cold.) But this, this could maybe get me out of the house and back into the world, out of the stay-at-home-work, stay-at-home-mom trap I've been in.
Once I'm coasting and feeling a little more secure, once I'm a few months into a new gig and a few more months making it as a single mother, maybe then I'll hear the riddles differently. Maybe I'll hear an ancient compliment from my mom when she compares me to Greece; and thank her for expecting absolutely nothing from me, for giving me the grand gift of total freedom of thought.

The New York Times presents the Teatro alla Scala's opening performance broadcast live in HD at the Miller Theatre, Columbia University.
Carlo Nardello (Rai Trade): "The Opera publicizes Italy".
The New York Times, on the 3rd of December edition, has introduced the live broadcast in high definition of the Teatro alla Scala's opening performance with the 'Don Carlo', conducted by Daniele Gatti. Rai Trade has, in fact, conceded the rights for the transmission of the opening of Milan's Opera season in the USA to the Emerging Pictures Company, which has also involved, amongst others, the theatres of Baltimore (Maryland), Philadelphia (Pennsylvania) and Los Angeles (California). In New York the 'all sold out' has already been registered: the 600 available seats turned out to be insufficient to satisfy the demand that has arisen in such a short time. "And this – says Carlo Nardello, Rai Trade's CEO – is an important signal that denotes the pragmatism of the choices we make. This is a venture that will carry culture and Italianess far beyond our borders, in the United States, but also inside the Louvre Museum in Paris (all sold out) and on TV (Germany, France, Austria, Switzerland, Croatia and Japan). The 'Don Carlo' will also have a significant outcome at the Cinemas in England, Scotland, Wales, Australia, Spain and Canada. And also in Italy thanks to the Warner Multiplex Cinema Screens and the Microcinema and Digima Cinema Circuits. We have observed the market's demands and conceded on the various requirements, also the technological ones, and the outcome is unmistakable".

(ABC News) -- Britain's Prince Harry is "in the thick of" fighting in Afghanistan and has had "multiple engagements" with the Taliban during his time in the war zone, according to a new report in the UK's the Sun..
Harry, 28, is one month in to a four-month tour of duty asa chopper pilot in Afghanistan. He is stationed at Camp Bastion in Helmand province, on the front line. Citing an unnamed "military source," the Sun reports that Harry, known as Captain Wales in the British Army, is part of a four-man team on around-the-clock standby to both fire at the enemy and provide cover for aircraft rescuing wounded soldiers.
"Think World War Two Spitfire pilot and The Battle of Britain," the source told the Sun. "He can be sat in a deckchair for hours then scrambled immediately. When in the air his role is diverse."
The palace has had no comment on Harry's time in Afghanistan.
The prince, and third-in-line to the British throne, also served a tour of duty in Afghanistan in 2008 that was cut short because of publicity and concerns for the safety of him and his fellow soldiers.
The news of Prince Harry's reported direct engagement with Taliban fighters comes less than one month after Camp Bastion was attacked by 15 Taliban fighters dressed in U.S. Army uniforms.
Two U.S. Marines were killed in the attack, and nine others were wounded, including one civilian contractor. NATO officials said at the time that Prince Harry was several miles away, and was never in danger during the attack.
Just as Prince Harry arrived in Afghanistan last month, a Taliban spokesperson said that the terror group would use "all our strength" to kidnap or kill the prince.

The Willa Cather Foundation is proud to announce the completion of a prescribed burn on the Willa Cather Memorial Prairie. As part of an extensive restoration project funded by the Nebraska Environmental Trust, the Willa Cather Foundation burned 200 acres of the 608-acre Willa Cather Memorial Prairie. The Red Cloud Volunteer Fire Department facilitated the burn on April 18 and 19.
In just one short week, new vegetation will emerge in the burned area. Approximately two weeks after this occurs, cattle will be introduced to the pasture in order to graze the new growth. This form of pyric-herbivory promotes heterogeneity across the landscape, which is required for diverse plant and wildlife communities. The benefits of prescribed patch-burning include the reduction of noxious weeds, promotion of a diversity of native plant species, creation of diverse habitats for animal species, and increased nitrogen availability in the soil.
Two additional 200-acre burns are scheduled to take place over the next two years. This is especially significant because until the recent burn, the Prairie hadn't seen a prescribed burn in over 15 years.

text: Suspended engineer under investigation againCommunity: APEGA will look into foothills man's business conduct for second timeBy: Darlene Casten | Posted: Wednesday, Feb 27, 2013 12:43 pm A Foothills resident and owner of a Calgary engineering company is being investigated again, this time because of a complaint lodged by his stepson, who said he saw his stepfather forge an engineer�s signature on a stamp numerous times. As a result of the complaint MD of Foothills resident Dennis Burton, owner of DFK Engineering, will be the subject of a second hearing by the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta (APEGA) in May. Also involved is Peter Pybus, an engineer living in Saskatoon, who owned the stamp. In January 2012 APEGA took the unusual step of putting out a public announcement warning businesses to check engineering work done by DFK Engineering. That included some sprinkler systems in Okotoks buildings, including the Town�s new municipal building and Home Depot. They also suspended DFK�s permit to practice in February 2012, after finding he didn�t have a professional management plan. APEGA�s investigative committee also looked into two complaints from condo developers that hired DFK. Pybus and Burton admitted Pybus did not oversee site visits and inspections on a number of occasions and Pybus� stamp was left at DFK�s office and Burton had access to the stamp. Burton paid a $5,000 fine to APEGA and was sent a letter warning him not to represent himself as a professional engineer. Pybus lost his engineer�s license in Alberta and can�t reapply for five years. Now APEGA will hold a hearing over the new complaints raised by Burton�s stepson and the pair could face more sanctions if they are found guilty of professional misconduct. Dale Burton, who lives in Okotoks, said his stepfather did not graduate high school and was given an engineer�s stamp by Pybus, who was a longtime friend. As a result, Dale said, his stepfather�s work was not being checked, which could have resulted in catastrophe. �It�s the same as a doctor,� Burton said of engineering. �Its like a person with a Grade 10 education being given a prescription pad.� He said his stepfather worked on electrical and sprinkler systems that could endanger people�s lives if they are not working properly. Dale worked for his stepfather for a number of years and said he saw him sign and stamp his work using Pybus� stamp. When he began an engineering program at the University of Calgary, he said he realized what his stepfather was doing was wrong. He said he questioned Burton and Pybus about the arrangement, but that didn�t stop the alleged fraud. Others have also seen Burton sign Pybus� signature on his stamp, said Dale. Calgary resident Dean Carr, a former friend of Burton, who also had a falling out with the man, said he also saw him forge Pybus� signature on his engineers� stamp. �I came into his office at the time and he was signing papers,� he said. Carr said APEGA has his name and number, but hasn�t called him about the allegations. Dale said he didn�t turn his stepfather in for a number of years because his mother was battling cancer and he didn�t want to upset her. His mother passed away and three years ago Dale filed his complaints to APEGA and the RCMP. He said he gave a statement to the Okotoks RCMP, but after receiving one call back, never heard from them. He said he was surprised to find a package in the mail two weeks ago from APEGA saying a hearing into his complaints was going to be held. �I think it�s way too long,� he said. �They told me it�s a volunteer committee and they don�t have the manpower to do this. APEGA shouldn�t be a self-governing body if they are a bunch of volunteers.� APEGA investigative committee member Ron Pecash said they did receive several complaints regarding DFK Engineering and Peter Pybus in late 2010. He said it is rare to receive a number of complaints against the same people from unrelated parties. The investigation wrapped up in April and since then one matter has been completed and a second set of charges has been laid. A hearing regarding the complaints against Burton and Pybus will be held May 14 and 15 and June 6 at APEGA�s office in downtown Calgary. Dennis Burton�s lawyer, Guy Lacourci�re, said they deny the allegations from his stepson and said Dale has a personal vendetta. �We are going to vigorously defend them,� Lacourci�re said of Burton�s accusations. He said Dale�s agenda for turning on his stepfather is clear. Lacourci�re said Dale Burton tried to blackmail Pybus and his stepfather for money with false allegations over misuse of the stamp and when that didn�t work, he filed a complaint with APEGA. �He asked his father for a big sum of money and when he said no, he (Dale) reported him (to APEGA),� Lacourci�re said. There are several lawsuits between the pair in civil court, Lacourci�re added, in relation to a battle over stocks. �This is a disgruntled son,� he said. He also doesn�t buy Dale Burton�s claim that he was trying to protect his mother and that is why he waited to come forward. Lacourci�re alleges Dale Burton set up a numbered company with his mother as the sole shareholder and director. He said Dale Burton�s income went to that company, but he paid no income tax or other government-required taxes for the numbered company. �He�s exposed her to CSA, audit, he exposed her all sorts of personal liability and he let this go on and on,� he said.

text: Hi Anthony, Thanks a lot for your reply! I'll post to 2d-dev at openjdk.java.net later. We have HW and LW componets as following, 1) A HW component GLCanvas(JOGL class, subclass of Canvas), which contains an image. 2) LW component JComponent, which is non-opaque and contains some texts. We expect the texts can be shown over the image, while we could only see either the image or texts: With openJDK 1.6.0_18, we could see the image, while the text is invisible. With latest openJDK6/7, we only see the texts, the image is invisible(only a black area shown). From an article, it is said we can not overlay non-opaque LW component on HW compoent. Does latest JDK still have this limitation? From the article as in your email, I find bug 6852592 is not closed. Associated with our above observation, my question is, does latest JDK fully support mixing of heavy and light components?
