For the past year or so I have been intrigued by the idea of having a signature scent. I love the process of finding the most suitable perfume–not just a smell that fits your personality, but one that works with your body chemistry. I started with a website that broke down perfumes into personality categories and searched under "elegant"–not because I consider myself to be particularly elegant, but because I like the idea of using a solid, classic base to build whimsical or playful or tomboy-ish outfits on.
I researched the perfumes that came up and I was really taken with what I read in reviews of Flower by Kenzo. When I tried it on, the scent lasted well over eight hours and was soft and floral–like a more contemporary version of the perfume that my grandmother wore. Right away I knew that it was the fragrance I wanted for everyday use and I ordered a bottle soon after.
But it was in reading a review of the Kenzo fragrance by Chandler Burr in NYT Magazine that I found out about Diorissimo–a 1956 scent that features lily of the valley and is, apparently, often mistaken as a soliflore. Because lily of the valley is the flower of May, my birth month, I decided to try it out and found it to be lovely, fresh and clean. The perfume was recently reformulated so I would really love to find a vintage bottle (which a friend owns and which I found I liked better than what was in the department store) to use just for special occasions.
Having recently met a 60-some year Swedish woman at my favorite bar, who chided me for not wearing perfume (thus motivating me to actually find one) and told me that she herself preferred Lancôme, I also checked out their fragrance site and landed on Poême basically because I liked the name. What interested me about this fragrance were a) that it doesn't follow the top, middle, base note structure and b) the descriptions of it as a night-time perfume that contrasts bitter and sweet. I tried it on at Bloomingdales and loved it, especially because of how well it complimented and transitioned from the daytime Flower by Kenzo that I had been wearing all day at work.
Flower by Kenzo: Wild Hawthorne, Bulgarian Rose, Parma Violet, Cassia, Hedione, Cyclosal, Opoponax, White Musk, Vanilla. (Sephora.com)
Diorissimo: Bergamot and calyx, middle notes of lily of the valley, jasmine, ylang ylang and lilac and a base of sandalwood.(Saksfifthavenue.com)
Poême by Lancôme: Top Notes: Blue Himalayan Poppy, Lychee Blossom; Heart Notes: Orange Blossom, Mimosa, Jasmine; Base Notes: Vanilla, Desert Datura Flower. (Lancome-usa.com)

Shimano XTR RD-M980-GS 10-Speed Rear Derailleur
Shimano's new XTR M980 rear derailleur takes smooth and responsive shifting to an even higher level. Designed to increase the mechanical advantage for Advanced Light Action shifting to produce a truly linear feel, it also features a shorter housing that helps reduce contamination, trail chatter and loss of pedaling efficiency caused by suspension movement. Shimano says it's engineered for the way you ride. We say it's the best we've ever tried.- Low-profile Shadow RD design positions derailleur closer to the frame to reduce the risk of impact damage
- Accurate and effortless shifting is optimized for 10-speed, full-suspension MTB setups
- Shorter cage reduces chain bounce and improves ground clearance
- Sealed bearing pulleys reduce friction in pulley rotation, minimizing pedaling energy loss

Central Park master plan. Photo courtesy of the City of Madison
Madison, capital of Wisconsin, is also home to the University of Wisconsin-Madison and is the second largest city in the state with a population topping 230,000 and a metropolitan area of 560,000.
To better serve its residents, the City of Madison is developing a major park in the center of the city, Central Park. The park will include a performance space, a skate park, a bike path, an accessible playground, and community garden spaces, among other amenities. With its MICD25 grant, the city is also planning a public art piece for the park. Environmental artist Lorna Jordan is working with the park's design team to integrate her work into the construction of Central Park. Jordan will help create the park's green infrastructure by including stormwater sculptures, LED lightworks, energy-harnessing artworks, sculptural gathering places, and pathways. A great lawn within the park will be the site for summer music festivals that are expected to draw large audiences.

As a city grows, places are designated for parks with trails and playgrounds for children. The vegetation, including trees and plants, is cut down, paved over, and unprotected. More and more native areas disappear and are forever lost.
When I was the sixth and seventh grade science teacher in the 1970's at Highlands School in Mountain Brook, I drove back and forth from home to school over Brookwood Road. Brookwood Road intersects with Old Leeds Road near the location of the school, which is on Old Leeds Road. Brookwood Road passed through, at that time, a great fern glade on either side of the road. A fern glade is a damp place where ferns grow in profusion, completely dominating the area. The glade was probably divided on either side of Brookwood Road when it was paved. The glade was a very special place in the shade under the trees.
Later in the 1990's, I moved from Westbury Road to Old Leeds Road. My property backed up to the area on Brookwood Road near the fern glades. Only the largest glade still remained on the south side of Brookwood Road. The smaller glade was destroyed when a home was built there. Then in the 2000's, the remaining glade was paved over for a driveway to a big new house.
It was hard to witness the lack of effort to save either glade, so uniquely spread out under the trees and between beautiful rock boulders. It is annoying to me that there exists such a lack of regard for these places when developers endanger them.
Also on Brookwood Road, farther to the east, huge old oak trees were cut down when a new home was being built. A row of Crepe Myrtles was planted to replace them. Now, Mountain Brook has an ordinance that prevents cutting down trees without prior permission from the city, but it's too late for those beautiful oak specimens replaced by unkempt, straggly Crepe Myrtles. What a shameful waste. And of course, there are no ferns at all.
My family and I own twenty acres on the Cahaba River in Shelby County. The entire acreage was covered with beautiful wood ferns. There is no dwelling on the property, but others on either side have built large houses on their lots. It is in the Cahaba River Get Aways, and each lot is twenty acres at the end of Highway 1 on the river. One day last fall, my son and I went out to the property to find that all the ferns had been removed – stolen! Who would do such a terrible robbery? What could we do about it? Nothing, according to the Shelby County Police. It is against the law, but must be caught in action.
Another lovely and totally unique place near ours is on the rapids of the Cahaba River where the Cahaba River lilies grow. It is the only place in the entire world where these lilies grow. There was a successful fight in the past to save the rapids needed for the lilies to reseed. Also, there is now a Cahaba Lily Society to protect them. They bloom in the spring and are an Alabama treasure. Thank goodness they are safe now, at least until another developer has a bright idea.
The state of Alabama has made an effort to keep their wildflowers blooming. Areas of wildflowers are being planted along the express highways. They are showstoppers, and quite lovely when in bloom: a major step in the right direction. Southern Living Magazine has also planted areas along Lakeshore Drive in front of their building to protect and show the beauty of native wildflowers. The Birmingham Botanical Society has made the same effort. Every year they have a plant sale, including some of these wildflowers, which helps distribute and save these valuable plants. We have other societies and organizations with the same interests.
Flying in a small plane low over our part of the state in the spring when the dogwood and redbud trees are blooming is unbelievable. I had this opportunity when I was taking flying lessons from Captain Jim Beall, now deceased. It is amazing to witness the extensive coverage of these trees that can only be viewed from above. A white and pink cover seen above for miles is outstanding.
As our license tag states: "Alabama the Beautiful." Let's keep Alabama a place with plants.

Random thoughts / going forward
I was stuck wide awake last night at 3am and decided to just put my thoughts on paper to help pass the time until I was able to pass out. Hopefully this is the right forum to post this. If not a mod can feel free to move it to the correct place. Been lurking here for a while now and finally decided to make a grand entrance.
The clock on my computer just ticked to 3:09am and I'm wide awake sitting at my computer. I can almost fully blame the Baltimore Orioles for this.
No, this isn't like recent April 30ths. This morning I'm not up mulling over what the O's could have done differently in 5 different games to have them at .500, wondering how they've already taken themselves out of playoff conention before May even starts. This year is different. This year there is hope.
This April 30th I'm frantically scouring Google for MLB power ranking articles from all over the internet that were published within the last day. I've seen Baltimore rated everywhere from 2nd (Barry Larkin on Baseball Tonight) to 17th (what I assume is a smaller blog done by a couple of friends that actually seems pretty articulate). Most of these "sources" have the Orioles ranked in the 7-12 range, which is completely understandable though I'd much rather see them higher. A larege percent of these are from rinky dink sites and blogs with little to no analasys on their rankings outside of "Hardy off to slow start.", yet I'm getting great pleasure and joy out of reading all of these. Sure the O's have had decent starts this past decade. Hell, they started 6-1 last year. There's just something different about this year. There is just a different feeling in my bones. A feeling in the pit of my stomach that I can't help but acknowledge.
During Spring Training I jokingly preached too all of my friends and aquantances about how the Rays went worst to first in 2008 and that the O's were going to mimic that this year. Well... I'm not so sure I'm joking anymore. In the few years the Orioles have gotten out to decent starts in the past decade and a half (and there's not many) I was expectedly up in arms shouting their praises from the mountain tops all while penciling them into the playoffs. The difference is I never really believed the hype I gave them deep down. This process repeated this year. After the recent 5-1 homestand I'm actually starting to believe, and I'm absolutely terrified. I'm genuinely scared to get too emotionally attactched. I fear that going full blown head-over-heels for this team before May starts can't lead to anything other than a July 30th rant about how the Orioles, the team I love with every fiber in my being, tore my heart out and spit it on with zero regard for my feelings leaving me stupified and confused like a Junior in HS whose first love just told him shes been cheating on him with his best friend. Yes, the fear is that potent. Run-on sentance and all.
The fact of the matter is EVERYTHING feels different this year. Our notorious achilies heel, pitching, has been fantastic. Starters are consistantly going 6+ innings. Instead of watching us blow leads in the later innings we're actually thriving in the 7th and beyond. I'm no longer asking myself "Why the **** iseven on the squad?!", but alternatively giving them props for being lights out (except you Kevin Gregg. I still dislike you.. greatly).
Why have the O's been so good? Well, lets take a look.
Reimold, Jones, Andino, and Davis are all currently in the top 15 in AL BA. Lets not forget Ronnie Paulino whos been batting .360 in limited plate appearances, too. With that said the Orioles as a team are very pedestrian hitting a combined .252 on the season. The O's are also tied for dead last in the majors with a whopping 6 stolen bases. Maybe it's all the walks we're drawing? Nope, .308 OBP. Yea, but Jonesy, Nolan, and Davis along with Wieters and Betemit all have 10+ RBIs already. Only the perenial powerhouses Texas and New York have more players with 10 or more at this point. What about mashing? Oh, we've certainly been doing that as well. Again Texas and those damn Yankees are the only teams in the bigs with more dingers on the year than Baltimores 30. All of that is good for 6th in the AL (10th MLB) in runs scored. Not out of this world production, but certainly very solid. So what exactly is the reason that the Baltimore Orioles are 6 games over .500 for the first time since 2005?
Our pitching doesn't suck. Wait, our pitching doesn't suck? OUR PITCHING DOESN'T SUCK! Quite the opposite, actually. The O's 3.06 ERA is good for 2nd in the AL (7th MLB). Our starters are averageing 6 IP per start. The best part about this is our pen isn't doing anything to jepordize these efforts this year. Johnson, Ayala, and Lindstrom have given up a combined 0 ER on the year. Yes, 3 relief pitchers with a combined 0.00 ERA at the end of April. Poor Darren O'Day had to give up 1 ER in his 11 innings of work and couldn't join the perfect party. Strop, who has recently taken over closer duites from Johnson due to his illness, has arguably been the best player out of the pen this year. Pedro has had some control issues (6 BB) and given up a few runs (3 ER), but he's still sporting a 2.08 ERA, .182 BAA, 1.08 WHIP, and has 14 Ks through 13 IP. He certainly has the livest arm hitting 96+ on the gun at times.
It's safe to say there's been a healthy balance between both solid hitting and pitching. The best part is there is still plenty of room to improve. The O's are dead last in the AL in errors and fld%. And then... *deep inhale*.... *deep exhale* there's Mark Reynolds. I just scratched my head for a solid 15 seconds trying to find an appropriate way to construct my thoughts on good ol' Marky Mark this season. I'm going to save myself the stress and completely ignore his incompetence in the field and just reel off a few highlights on his statline. 60 ABs. .150 BA. 3 RBIs. 28 Ks. I'm no professor, but by my neanderthal math Reynolds is striking out almost half the time he goes to the plate. Oh yea... he's still yet to hit a HR this year. On the plus side he has walked 10 times. I'm sure he'll "turn it around" at some point and start hitting some long balls. Really that's all he's expected to do. Obviously I'm not expecting him to hit 30+ this year after the abysmal start he's had... but give me 20+ and I will refrain from using your mug shot as a backdrop for my dart board. We've also got Brian Roberts still sitting on the bench. Hopefully he can make his comeback at some point and be productive. Hardy has had a slow start, too. Nick Johnson doesn't have a hit yet in 26 ABs. Heck even Markakis has been a little sluggish from the start. Nick was pretty clutch this past week though so I'll give him a pass for now. All I'm saying is there's a lot of things that can be improved upon. This isn't the best we can play. I feel confident in saying we're going to need to play better as of tomorrow if we want to stay at the top of the East standings much longer.
Our next 5 series are @NYY, @BOS, home vs Texas for 4, Rays, and then closing it out with a 2 game series vs the Yankees. This is the 15 game stretch that's going to tell us and the world everything we need to know about the O's this year. Are we contenders? Are we going to remain the laughing stock of the league and butt of all the jokes? Or are we going to tough it out and find a way keep winning series? Are we going to finally show the league we're for real? My expectations right now aren't what they were 2 hours ago when I got way too hyped up and started typing feverishly on my keyboard after watching Wilson Betemits walk off 3R HR for the 10th+ time tonight. I don't expect to take 10 of the next 15. I'd be ecstatic with 7 or 8. I just want some damn respect. I just want an excuse to keep on believing.
This season has felt like a great dream thus far and I really don't want to wake up anytime soon. Please, Orioles, just give me a couple more months to believe. And... maybe... justttttt maybe you could give me some playoff baseball back at Camden this year? It's been quite a while since that beautiful park has gotten to see important games.
I'm scared.
I believe.

Great post! Good job!
Great first post! I really hope this team makes a run at a playoff bid this year, especially for guys like you who probably haven't had to live with 14 straight losers after enjoying what the franchise used to be in the early 80's and most of the 90's. The only the way the franchise gets its fans back is to give them something to cheer about.
I feel confident in saying the "guys like you" comment doesn't really apply to me. I'm still a (relatively) young buck... so I never really got to see the Orioles magic of the 80s other than on sketchy videos.
It's far, far too early to worry about how good this team will ultimately be. I'm just enjoying what's going on now.
I read up until this point and then had to cut myself off:
The fact of the matter is EVERYTHING feels different this year.

Click here to take a Daily Report survey about your preference: "pled" or "pleaded."
As lawyers, we get to debate some of the most pressing questions of our time: The limits of Congress's commerce power. The reach of the Due Process Clause. "Pleaded" versus "pled."
Yes, you read that right: There is a bitter, friend-splitting debate raging among lawyers about whether to use "pleaded" or "pled." (For our part, we almost ended up at Weehawken over the row.) Both words get a lot of play in legal writing. We think that it's time for one usage to rule them allbut we disagree about which word to send to the dustbin. Chandler always uses "pled." Boone always uses "pleaded." The gloves are off.
But first, some context. We (Chandler and Boone) appreciate good writing, including a conversational tone. We both detest legaleseour jargon detectors go off when we see "herein," "instant case," or "prior to." Neither of us starts sentences with "However""But" is better. But on pleaded-pled we disagree.
Here are our competing views:
Chandler's view
(The minority viewor as Boone calls it, the "you've-watched-too-many-episodes-of-Law & Order" view):
Use "pled." Boone needs to get out more"pleaded" may seem fine on paper, but lawyers chuck the word when they head to court. A lawyer arguing a motion to dismiss doesn't say, "They haven't pleaded scienter." He says, "They haven't pled scienter."
I know, I know: Bryan Garner says that "pleaded" is the "predominant form in American English."1 But does the guy listen to people talk? Nobody says "pleaded." Everybody says "pled"and not just the good folks on Law & Order. "Pled" just sounds better to the ear.
Twice, legal tabloid/blog Above the Law has asked its readers which they prefer"pleaded" or "pled."2 Twice, strong majorities chose "pled." Check Westlaw or Lexis, and you'll find that judges use "pled" more often than "pleaded."3
Moreover, it's not like "pled" is the legal-writing equivalent of texting's "OMG"heck, even Edmund Spenser used "pled" way back in 1596.4 And Michael Quinion, the famous British etymologist and writer who runs the website World Wide Words, describes "pled" as the American strong-verb form of the past tense of "to plead."5
Reader Comments
View all reader comments »-
The correct past perfect in legal usage is, of course, plud. I learned that from the same law professor who taught us "he slud off."
The ultimate authority, MS Word spell check,, will accept either "pled" or "pleaded" without hesitation, so either must be correct.
My best recollection from my years of wide-rangingcivil and criminal practice, including appeals, leaves me with the impression that, at least where I have been, one is more likely to hear "he pled guilty" but that a case is or is not "well-pleaded."
Now will somebody please explain to me how and when the rules of English usage and grammar changes so radically that, contrary to the rule we leanred against split infinitives, the form "to not go" has become common even among writers and publications I wold expect to get it right. With a tricky vision condition that makes proofreading practically impossible, I use spell-check, with certain adjustments, but long ago turned off its grammar and syntax checker because it was always trying to get me to use wildly illiterate phrasing that didn't make any sense.
Pled is the preferred use of past tense of plead in legal jargon. In other contexts, (e.g She said "He pleaded with me not to leave him") , pleaded works nicely.
I readed this whilst I dranked my coffee.
John Bramfeld
Get attorneys to quit saying "in regards to" and you will have accomplished something worthwhile.
as regards
best regards
in regard to
better yet: regarding
Albert Davenport
What about differing connotations? Doesn't pleaded sound more plaintive than pled? As in "She pleaded with him not to go." Pled, on the other hand, sounds more succinctly businesslike shifting emphasis to the rest of the sentence. Pleaded draws attention. It's almost two syllables of whining.
If you subscribe to this subtext approach, the usage would change depending on the desired spin.

gabapentin, Neurontin, GabaronePharmacy Author:

He completed a Pharmacy Practice Residency at the University of Arizona/University Medical Center in 1996. He was a Professor of Pharmacy Practice and a Regional Clerkship Coordinator for the University of the Pacific School of Pharmacy from 1996-99. Medical and Pharmacy Editor:
Jay W. Marks, MD
Jay W. Marks, MDJay W. Marks, MD, is a board-certified internist and gastroenterologist. He graduated from Yale University School of Medicine and trained in internal medicine and gastroenterology at UCLA/Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. GENERIC NAME: gabapentinBRAND NAME: Neurontin, GabaroneDRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Gabapentin is an anticonvulsant that is used for preventing seizures and for treating postherpetic neuralgia. The mechanism of action of gabapentin is not known. Gabapentin structurally resembles the neurotransmitter gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA). It is possible that this similarity is related to gabapentin's mechanism of action. In animal models used for testing the anticonvulsant and analgesic activity of drugs, gabapentin prevents seizures and reduces pain-related responses. The FDA approved gabapentin in December 1993. PRESCRIPTION: Yes GENERIC AVAILABLE: Yes PREPARATIONS:
STORAGE: Tablets and capsules should be stored between 15-30 C (59-86 F). Gabapentin solution should be refrigerated between 2-8 C (36-46 F). PRESCRIBED FOR: Gabapentin is approved for treating seizure disorders and nerve damage from herpes zoster (shingles, postherpetic neuralgia). There are many non-approved uses for gabapentin. These include alcohol withdrawal, cocaine withdrawal, hiccups, restless leg syndrome, hyperhidrosis, headaches, diabetic neuropathy, hot flashes, and fibromyalgia. DOSING: Gabapentin may be taken with or without food. The recommended dose for postherpetic neuralgia is 1800 mg daily in 3 divided doses. The initial dose of 300 mg daily is increased over several days to the recommended daily dose. Seizures are treated with 900-1800 mg/daily in 3 divided doses. Withdrawal of treatment should occur slowly over a week. DRUG INTERACTIONS: Antacids reduce the concentration of gabapentin in blood. Therefore, gabapentin should be administered 2 hours or more after taking antacids. Morphine significantly increases blood concentrations of gabapentin and may increase central nervous system-related adverse events associated with gabapentin. PREGNANCY: Safety in pregnancy has not been established. NURSING MOTHERS: Gabapentin is secreted in human breast milk. Nursing mothers should only use gabapentin if the benefits outweigh the unknown risk to the fetus. SIDE EFFECTS: Common side effects of gabapentin are dizziness, somnolence, ataxia, fatigue, fluid retention, hostility, nausea and vomiting. Other adverse events associated with gabapentin include hypertension, anorexia, bruising, joint pain, motion sickness, and pneumonia. Antiepileptic medications have been associated with increased risk of suicidal thinking and behavior. Anyone considering the use of antiepileptic drugs must balance this risk of suicide with the clinical need. Patients who are started on therapy should be closely observed for clinical worsening, suicidal thoughts, or unusual changes in behavior.

Our custom beer project with the famed Elitch Gardens Theme & Water Park in Denver is back in action.
Two custom-made Wynkoop Brewing Company beers from last year-- Elitch Gardens Orchard Wheat and Elitch Gardens Fire Roasted Amber -- are back on tap at the now-open park and at Wynkoop Brewing.
"Our guests really enjoyed the Wynkoop custom brews last summer," says Rod Rankin, General Manager for Elitch Gardens Theme & Water Park. "So this year we are bringing back those two great beers and introducing a new craft beer."
This year's new Elitch Gardens beer is Thrills & Spills Summer Ale, a hoppy, low-alcohol, English-style summer ale designed (by head brewer Andy Brown) for warm-weather quaffing.
April 11 at 6:30 PM we present a special dinner celebrating Kurt Vonnegut, Tender Belly Pork and Novo Coffees.
We are now celebrating the return of Cottonwood Organic White, an organic fundraiser beer we first released last March.
An unfiltered, American-style wheat beer, Cottonwood Organic White is made with organic malts and wheat, kaffir lime leaf and organic agave nectar. The custom-made beer is fermented with an American strain of wheat beer yeast and is 4.6% ABV.
Alright, it's official: we have released a hand-canned version of our world-famous Rocky Mountain Oyster Stout.
This is another seminal moment in our 25 years of small-batch liquid art.
As you may recall, RMOS Stout made its debut during last year's Great American Beer Festival. The draft-only beer earned press and consumer interest from around the world and led to long lines for the beer at our GABF table.
Warren Monteiro, a New York City freelance writer, beer traveler, homebrewer and beer columnist, was chosen as the 2013 Beerdrinker of the Year on February 23 at Wynkoop Brewing Company.
Monteiro's in-depth beer expertise, extensive travels in pursuit of beer, and his efforts to promote great beer to others helped him win the 2013 title.
"This year was very difficult to judge," said Cody Christman, the 2009 Beerdrinker of the Year and a judge at Saturday's finals. "All three finalists were superb and deserved to be on the national beer stage. But Warren won the competition with his blend of wit, knowledge, and a deep passion for all things related to beer."
Monteiro faced tough challengers in Kevin Cox (a Muncie, Indiana beer hunter, homebrewer and beer advocate) and Jen Schwertman (a New York City bartender and beer evangelist who got her start in beer in 1992 at Wynkoop Brewing Company.)
We are now distributing our fourth hand-canned craft beer -- Belgorado Belgian-Style India Pale Ale -- in the Denver area.
Our small-batch, Belgium-meets-Colorado beer combines the wonders of two of the world's best beer cultures with Wynkoop artisan brewing and farm-to-fermenter thinking.
A creation of Wynkoop head brewer Andy Brown, Belgorado has been a draft-only seasonal beer since its debut in the fall of 2010. The beer won a 2011 Great American Beer Festival bronze medal in the festival's Experimental Beer category.
Our judging panel has casts its votes for the finalists for the 2013 Beerdrinker of the Year award. As you know, our 17th annual search celebrates America's most passionate beer lovers.
These super beer geeks must have a deep understanding of how beer is made, its many styles and its importance in advancing civilization. They must have a vast array of beer tasting experiences and be shining ambassadors for the culture of fine beer.
Homegrown Belgian Hoppiness Now in Cans
The first cases of our new and fourth canned beer, Belgorado Belgian-Style India Pale Ale, are now hitting select stores in the Denver area.
Our small-batch, Belgium-meets-Colorado thriller combines the wonders of two of the world's best beer cultures with Wynkoop artisan brewing and our local farm-to-fermenter thinking.
First released in the fall of 2010 as a seasonal, draft-only, wet-hopped beer, the Belgian-style IPA is now a canned, dry-hopped creation.
On Thursday, February 7, we present a special pre-Mardi Gras Rum & Beer dinner. The event features a five-course, one-night-only menu of New Orleans-inspired cuisine, with each course paired with a Cruzan Rum cocktail or Wynkoop beer.
Make a reservation for the dinner at 303-297-9999 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
The news about our upcoming bull testicle beer has landed us loads of press at Fox News, The Today Show, Anderson Cooper and much more. And we're getting tons of calls about it. Lovely! We hope to have the cans ready and in Denver area stores by the end of January. For people outside of our area, the RMOS cans will also be available at letspour.com at that time, too. The official release date has not been set yet, but keep an eye on our Web site and and our Facebook page for updates on the beer. In the meantime, locals can swing by our place and the three local Yard House locations and get our world-famous, super nutty creation on draft.
Our RMOS just received another rave review and some wonderful coverage on the Cooking Channel's site, read it at www.blog.cookingchanneltv.com

In New York City alone, 70 percent of African-American kids don't know how to swim. Many children are unable to swim because of limited access to public pools or just because their parents never learned themselves. It is important to break the cycle of...

The track was written by JT with Timbaland, Shawn Carter, Jerome "J-ROC" Harmon and James Flauntleroy, and produced by Timbaland, Timberlake and Harmon.

But then Destiny's Child and Justin Timberlake announced their return to music this year and everything changed. Timberlake will release his new song on Jan. 14, and Destiny on Jan. 29 (with a sneak peak circulating). In addition to these acts, there is Something New from a British girl group that will fit right in on Top 40 radio.

First up, a chicken & chilli stir fry
The first dish: a stir fry of cashew nuts, chicken, dried red chilli and holy basil. Plus a mix of Scotch Bonnet, Nagas and Scorpions. I'm not sounding it out at this point as much as smelling it out. It seems innocuous...

Chilies are great they help burn calories, boost immunity and fight bad bacteria's. They, once ingested help release the chemical hormone called dopamine playing a major role in the brain system that is responsible for reward driven learning. Every type of reward that has been studied increases the level of dopamine transmission in the brain.
To those of you who want to experience the "Suffering", or should that be elation and adrenaline rush, of eating the hottest chillies in the world, need to log on to YouTube. Some guy, just an ordinary Aussie guy with glasses, with a penchant for chilli eats them whole before your eyes and describes the experience. Thankfully, Australian health and safety have not intervened (!) and I truly have to take my hat off to him as I thought my own Chicken Phall curry eating was legendary. To give you an idea how hot the hottest, the Trinidad Scorpion is, in Scoville units (the official measure), it registers about 20-25 times hotter than the hottest curry served in an Indian restaurant! Incidentially, if you didn't know already, chilli releases endorphins - feel good chemicals in the brain - and is good for the digestion - but don't have 10 pints of lager beforehand. lol
in mexio heading to merida via veracruz before coming to the highway to merida there is a village that has a wild grown chilly that it wont cultivate,it grows by nature;s will and its the hottest chilly i had during 17 yrs living in mexico, i canot remember exactlythe name and location but i know from experience that this green chilly is somewhat HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BIG TIME. TONY
In all fairness, I am not one for spicy foods, but credit where it is due as they say, and this guy deserves credit, and perhaps a couple of litres of milk :p
I think the Trinidad Scorpion can reach up to 2 million scorvale units, but, tests haven't been able to duplicate this to know for sure. You wouldn't catch me going anywhere near those types of spices though.

I once had the opportunity to do a few gigs in a quartet featuring the great keyboardist/composer Rob Mullins. Nate Phillips, who had worked with Rob in the Jazz Crusaders, and Jeff Suttles, who had just come off tour with Janet Jackson, held down the bass and drums, respectively. The basic concept was to play instrumental arrangements of funky R&B tunes, sort of like a funk version of Paul Shaffers' "Worlds Most Dangerous Band" (the David Letterman Show band). The project was put together with …

In response to my article "On Soloing", I received a number of emails from players who loved the concepts and were trying hard to incorporate them into their performance but still felt like they were stuck in a rut of playing the same tired riffs over and over.

What's Wrong With Happy Holidays?
I go to a Catholic High School in Canada. Recently, to celebrate the upcoming holidays, my council, Diversity and Equity Council, decided to run an event where we play music from various holidays (Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, etc.) over the P.A. system. Along with this, we created a banner with a Christmas tree, dreidel, and a kinara with the words 'Happy Holidays'.
We've received many complaints about this event, saying how we are in a Catholic school and should be playing Christmas music only. Today, our banner was taken down because a parent complained that it said Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas and threatened to file complaint to the school board.
Yes, I realize that we're in Catholic school community. But once you step outside the building, we are living in a multicultural country. There are people out there that don't celebrate Christmas. Better yet, there are people in the school that aren't Catholic. Since the school admits those who aren't Catholic, why can't they accept that there are holidays during this time of the year that isn't Christmas? When we're playing music from other holidays, we're simply trying to tell the students (many of which have been going to Catholic schools all their life) that there are other holidays out there. And being a part of a multicultural country, I think we have the responsibility to accept and respect these other holidays.What are your views on this? What do you think our council should do now?

Kirkwood Teens Broke Into Home, Police Say
Kirkwood Police said the two men stole a laptop, a DVD player and a jewelry box.
Two Kirkwood teens face criminal charges after police said they broke into a home on Lamertin Lane in October.
Joseph Taylor, 18, of the 400 block of Saratoga Street, and Dorian S. Foster, 17, of the 500 block of Creek Field Walk, were charged Thursday with second-degree burglary and misdemeanor theft.
Kirkwood Police said Taylor and Foster, acting with others, broke into the home on the first block of Lamertin Lane in Oakland at about 7:52 p.m. Oct. 29. They stole a laptop computer, a DVD player and a jewelry box, police said. Burglars broke into the home by removing a screen to an unlocked window, according to police.
They were being held in St. Louis County jail on Monday. Bail was set at $15,000 each.

Such a senseless crime no matter where in the Saint Louis area it occurred. It didnt say how the perps where caught. Any idea Owen? Also I have read constructive cases of people using laptops that they stole and following the emails that they sent on other peoples accounts and catching them that way. Any chance this was the case here?
Joe Scott
9:57 pm on Tuesday, December 4, 2012
Unfortunately, I do not yet have any information on how they were caught by police.
4:41 pm on Wednesday, December 5, 2012
Let's not tell how they were caught. That way future miscreants do not figure out a way to elude the cops in the future. I, for one, would like the media, television, and Utube to stop aiding and abetting these thugs from committing crimes!
Joe Scott
4:55 pm on Wednesday, December 5, 2012
Good Point, DPB, but really they haven't caught on so far and the mediat has been reporting crime a long time. And if the laptop thing works, then maybe they'll stop stealing laptops? But then GPS hasn't stopped them from stealing cars or cell phones.
12:58 pm on Thursday, December 6, 2012
No disrespect Joe, but have you talked to the ones that haven't been caught to confirm they did not learn anything from any of the sources mentioned? Having been in law enforcement going on 37 years I can reasonably say you are mistaken on this. The public has a right to know they are being victimized and whom is doing it. It is also in everyone's best interest to know when the bad guy has been caught so they can rest a little easier. But, it is nobody's business how the suspect was caught (except for the Constitutional aspects that protect everyone's rights), that is between the cops, the lawyers, and the judge. I will repeat myself, the job is hard enough to do and getting harder, let us not help the bad guys to victimize us more! Thank you for your response to my comment, but I respectfully agree to disagree with you!
Joe Scott
1:10 pm on Thursday, December 6, 2012
No offense taken, DPB. Actually, I've wondered the same thing and I do sometimes leave out info that indicates how someone was caught if it would help criminals, especially after I consult with police. I do try NOT to help criminals figure out how avoid getting caught. And I'd agree that although GPS aspects of cell phones and even cars have not deterred some people from stealing them anyway. And someone who knows a little bit about IT could potentially get around it. I'll keep that in mind as I report. Good comment.

The emergency management agency director in Pearl River County says a dozen homes were damaged and several people suffered minor injuries in a storm near McNeill, about 10 miles north of Picayune.
The roof appeared to be completely blown off of one nearby home, while another was crushed beneath a downed tree.
Danny Manley says the injuries were mostly cuts and scrapes -- nothing life-threatening.
In Louisiana, the Rapides Parish Sheriff's Office says it's checking out reports of wind damage -- possibly from a tornado -- at the north and south ends of the parish.
Lt. Tommy Carnline said that so far, deputies don't have any reports of injuries in either the Tioga or the Cotile Lake area. He said deputies are still cutting trees out of roads to get to people who say trees fell on their houses.
Nearly all of south Louisiana and much of Mississippi was under a tornado watch Tuesday, with a flash flood watch over northeast Louisiana and most of Mississippi.
Donald Jones of the National Weather Service in Lake Charles says there are reports of trees down in every parish in his region.
In Lafayette, television station KATC reports a lightning strike was responsible for a small explosion at a tank battery. There were no injuries, and the station said an environmental clean-up team was called out to make sure there was no negative environmental impact.
A waterspout crossed the Causeway as it meandered over Lake Pontchartrain, stopping traffic, but causing no damage.
More than 73,000 people in three states were without power at midafternoon. That was just counting reports from two utilities: Entergy Corp., which has customers in Arkansas, east Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi, and Cleco Corp. in Louisiana.

DESIGNER NAME: Maria Francesca Pepe
BACKGROUND: Maria is from southern Italy. She completed her MA at Central Saint Martins having previously studied literature in Milan and then a BA in Fashion at the Maragoni Institute. She mainly did freelance work in Italy, then relocated to London and assisted Jens Laugesen as well briefly working at Vivienne Westwood, before launching her own brand. Maria has designed catwalk jewellery ranges for brands such as Roksanda Ilincic and Amanda Wakeley and collaborated with top high street retailers including Topshop and Urban Outfitters.
SIGNATURES: "Ancient symbols serve as amulets, enhancing the ultimate jewellery function as the perfect gift. Shapes and classic elements are reinterpreted from their traditional and ethnic forms within a post-modern aesthetic, adding a techno-deco appeal. The cross, the harness and the heart gain fashion relevance. The MFP vision is to create beautifully handcrafted, timeless pieces of superb quality with cutting edge design."
TRADEMARK PIECE: "MFP studded jewellery, the 'Ade ' cross ring and hoops as appeared on the September cover of Vogue Paris worn by Kate Moss, and MFP 'Tubulars' which have been featured on all the major fashion editorials worldwide."
IDEAL CLIENT: "Anyone who desires both high-end, handcrafted quality and design originality with an avant-garde approach. I sell objects of desire, made in Italy using the oldest techniques, although my aesthetic constantly evolves and is far from obvious. MFP creations are often inspired by the pop and street contemporary culture, but they actually reflect a more hidden, instinctive taste and approach to fashion. This allows the collections to be appreciated by a variety of customers, regardless of age."
THE COLLECTION: "Tattoo art, Indian exotic spiritualism and introspection are the main themes of this elegant and innovative jewellery collection, which mixes punk, tribal, gothic chic and luxury." CULTURAL INFLUENCES: "I believe being a designer is a state of mind and a consecutive, peculiar approach to reality. I constantly research and I am deeply influenced by cultural movements, people I meet, art exhibitions I visit, the music I listen to and my dreams."
PLANS FOR 2013: "To keep up with the current positive trend, including an exclusive fine-jewellery capsule, new upcoming collaborations with both luxury and high street brands, a representative agent in the US, and increasing presence in the Asian market."

Would onl take a sec to add actual turning knobs from the hardware store, or a fax "sink" with a shallow plastic dish stuck to the top.

Leaving the top flat allows for play space for other things. Also, what a way to stimulate the child's imagination, having to visualize running water, turning knobs and such. Well done.

Take a Lowe's kids room three piece kitchen set and put Ikea trofast drawers with lids. Play kitchen and toy storage together.
ReplyDelete This is incredible! I'd probably put a Trofast wall storage unit over it with a rod and colorful curtains for "kitchen cabinets." What I'd LOVE to see are instructions for taking a taller Trofast cabinet and making it a play fridge, even better if someone worked out what kitchen cabinet doors could be readily attached to the front of one so I could trawl through the As-Is section for it.
