Ah, January, the month of remorse. After all those weeks of glorious excess surrounding the holidays, it's time for a bit of sober reflection.
"Especially in the buildup to the holidays, everyone drinks so much, and then new year – well, everyone's favourite New Year's resolution is, 'I'm never drinking again,' " says Grant Sceney, head bartender at the Fairmont Pacific Rim Lobby Bar. "It's the nature of the beast."
If, like so many who've overindulged in December, you're taking a break from booze this month, you'll be glad to know that you finally have delicious non-alcoholic options that go beyond the ubiquitous cranberry soda.
After all, the city's top bartenders point out, more and more people are drinking less for a variety of reasons, ranging from pregnancy to stricter drinking-and-driving laws.
And, as Dani Tatarin, bar manager at The Keefer Bar, says, "The creative non-alcoholic drink lets you be social and control your consumption at the same time without feeling left out."
Justin Taylor, bartender at the Four Seasons' Yew Restaurant + Bar, likens it to a restaurant offering good vegetarian and vegan options.
"A bartender with no booze is like a chef with no meat," he says, adding, "It is so important as hosts of a party or bar or restaurant to take the non-alcoholic drink seriously.
"When we can deliver a delicious, inventive and exciting non-alcoholic drink to our guests, it is always met with delight because more often than not they are left to drink something very ordinary, like a cranberry and soda," says David Wolowidnyk, bar manager at West Restaurant. "Perhaps try spicing that cranberry up with a little allspice, orange zest and lemon."
So what are your options if you want to venture beyond sparkling water, diet pop and cranberry soda? Plenty.
At Yew, for instance, each bartender was challenged to create his own non-alcoholic drink; now customers can choose between several options such as a strawberry basil lemonade, a berry and cream shake or a lime, ginger, coconut and pineapple soda.
Taylor also suggests that home bartenders make simple syrups flavoured with fruit and spices, and use them in sodas. "This is one of the best and easiest ways to make flavours to add to a cocktail," he says.
At The Keefer, Tatarin uses herbs and spices found in Chinese medicine to create drinks that are not only good, but good for you, like the Pineapple Tonic, which is loaded with stomach-settling ginger. "This drink is great for hangovers or an energy boost," she says.
Wolowidnyk, on the other hand, enjoys serving hot drinks, like spiced apple cider or passion fruit juice. "It's absolutely delicious," he says. "The first time I came across hot passion fruit juice was in Sumatra in the early '90s and I have enjoyed it ever since."
He also always has at least two non-alcoholic options on the menu, many of them based on fresh-frozen fruit purées, such as blackberry-allspice or apricot-honey-lemon.
And over at the Fairmont Pacific Rim, Sceney has mixed up several batches of shrubs – also known as "drinking vinegars" – such as the beet and black pepper shrub, which he tops with soda water for an easy, refreshing soda with a bright, sparkling flavour.
"A lot of people who come through here don't want to feel left out because they can't have a fancy drink," he says. "They want something non-alcoholic that tastes really good, too."
After all, just because you're cutting down on booze doesn't mean you have to sacrifice flavour or the fun of going out.
A shout out the the shrub
If the thought of drinking vinegar makes your mouth pucker and your eyes water, it's time to think again.
In fact, vinegar — in the form of a drink called a shrub — is one of the hottest trends in cocktailing right now, which is perhaps a little ironic for a drink that's nearly 400 years old.
Back in the 17th and 18th centuries, vinegar was used to preserve the flavours of fresh summer fruit and to add a citrusy flavour to drinks when limes and lemons were unavailable.
Today, bartenders like shrubs for their punchy sweet-tart flavour, which works as well in boozy cocktails as it does in non-alcoholic drinks topped with soda or tonic water.
Shrubs are easy to make and last for months if properly stored. They are basically just syrups mixed with vinegar and perhaps some herbs and spices. The variations of fruits, flavours and types of vinegar are almost endless.
At the Fairmont Pacific Rim Lobby Bar, for instance, head bartender Grant Sceney makes several different types of shrubs, including beet and black pepper, blueberry and lemon, blackberry and vanilla, and raspberry and white pepper.
"The neat thing about using vinegars and shrubs, apart from reducing waste, it's like using salt in a piece of food," Sceney says. "It just makes the flavours pop."
Grant Sceney, head bartender at the Fairmont Pacific Rim Lobby Bar, created this refreshing long drink based on a "shrub," a traditional vinegar-based drink that's recently become hugely fashionable.
1½ ounce (40g) Beet and Pepper Shrub (see recipe below)
5 fresh basil leaves
1 ounce (30 mL) apple juice
soda water
Using a muddler, gently press the basil into a tall glass. Add ice, then the Beet and Pepper Shrub, apple juice and soda. Stir and, if you like, garnish with a thin slice of golden beet and freshly cracked black pepper. Serves 1.
Beet and Pepper Shrub
4 cups (800 g) refined cane sugar
4 cups (1,000 mL) peeled and diced red beets
freshly ground black pepper to taste
3 cups (750 mL) cranberry vinegar (available at Urban Fare)
Combine sugar and beets in a non-reactive container with 15 grinds of black pepper. Stir well, cover and refrigerate.
After eight to 12 hours, the beets should be surrounded by juice and syrup.
Strain the syrup away from the beets, pressing lightly on the beets to expel any stubborn juice. If sugar is clinging to the bowl, scrape it into the syrup. You should have about 3 cups of syrup.
Whisk the syrup together with an equal amount of cranberry vinegar, stirring until sugar is completely dissolved. Funnel into a clean bottle, cap, shake well and refrigerate. Chilled, it will last several months.
Pineapple Tonic
Dani Tatarin, bar manager at The Keefer Bar, created this easy non-alcoholic cocktail that's sure to cure whatever ails you. "The ginger, pineapple, bitters and tonic combination is perfect for easing the stomach," she says.
2 ounces (60 mL) pineapple juice
½ ounce (15 mL) ginger syrup, or ¼ ounce (7 g) fresh ginger juice plus ¼ ounce (7 mL) simple syrup
½ (15 mL) ounce lemon juice
5 dashes Angostura bitters
tonic water to top
Build all ingredients in a Collins glass over ice. Stir.
Garnish with a pineapple skewer. Serves 1.

Marketers do a great job of convincing us to buy stuff (often stuff we don't need) - but through the annals of history they have occasionally gotten things wrong. This is a list of the ten most unfortunately named cars.
Mazda LaPuta (in spanish: "the whore")
The car's name actually derivates from the book Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift, but go explain this to spanish speakers. For them, it means "the whore".
Mitsubishi Pajero (in spanish: "wanker")
The Spanish version ended up as "Montero", but still many spanish-speaking customer do have a wanker.
Nissan Moco (in spanish: "booger")It was only marketed in Japan as such; otherwise it would have been a bad (nose) pick for spanish speakers.
Opel Ascona (in Spain and Portugal: "female genitalia")
Why couldn't the "Opel Ascona" mean "little flower" or "cute worm," which would have been cause for just mild embarrassment? Instead, it means female genitalia in Northern Spain and parts of Portugal.

The Pakistani schoolgirl who was shot by the Taliban for attending classes, July 12 addressed hundreds of young people at the United Nations, urging them and world leaders to work towards free education for all girls and boys in every nation in the world. She spoke in the name of the world's religions calling for peace, education, and equality.
"Let us pick up our books and our pens. They are our most powerful weapons. One teacher, one book, one pen, can change the world," Ms. Yousafzai said, in an impassioned address.
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon had named July 12 – Ms. Yousafzai's 16th birthday – 'Malala Day' in honor of her heroic stand to ensure education for all. The meeting, which featured nearly 1,000 youth leaders, was addressed by former United Kingdom Prime Minister Gordon Brown, in his capacity as UN Special Envoy for Global Education.
One teacher, one book, one pen, can change the world.
Malala, who was shot in the forehead and face, told the gathering that the Taliban's attack on her nine months ago changed nothing in her life, except that "weakness, fear and hopelessness died."
"The extremists were, and they are, afraid of books and pens," she said. "The power of education frightens them. They are afraid of women." She urged worldwide action against illiteracy, poverty and terrorism.
This call to action was delivered just as the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural organization (UNESCO) Education for All Global Monitoring Report, launched a new policy paper spotlighting that globally, the number of children not allowed or able to attend school has fallen from 60 million in 2008 to 57 million in 2011. However, 28 million children out of school live in the world's conflict zones, and more than half of those are women and girls.

Is this restriction lifted when reputation climbs higher, or does it stay? And if it stays permanently, perhaps it should be lifted at some point? Minor edits can be just as useful as major ones.

Lights on Old Country Road in Westbury to be fixed
We've been getting even more reports of darkened lights on streets and parkways. This one takes us to Westbury, where a reader reports that lights on Old Country Road next to Holy Rood Cemetery have been dark since superstorm Sandy.
It was about this time last year that a much longer section of the road was dark. The village, along with Hempstead and North Hempstead towns and the Long Island Power Authority, got those 42 lights back on shortly after we called. A variety of causes were cited.
This winter the darkness is limited to four lights along the cemetery, which occupies the stretch from Post Avenue to School Street.
These lights are out because of a LIPA issue, possibly involving a transformer, Village Clerk Ted Blach told us. He added that the utility had not provided an estimated time for repairs.
When we turned to LIPA for more information, spokesman Mark Gross told us that a crew had been sent to survey the area and "initial findings indicate there is a problem with a section of overhead lines."
The repairs will be scheduled for early this week, Gross said. "Because of the high sensitivity regarding traffic in that area, we are coordinating efforts with traffic control," he said.
He asked readers to report streetlight outages to this LIPA number: 800-490-0075.
Updates: Did anything change?
Crash cushions -- yes. New crash cushioning is in place at the center divider of Herricks Road under the Long Island Rail Road, Mineola resident George Sommer reports.
It was Sommer who told us in the fall about the need for new cushions -- or, in traffic-speak, crash attenuators -- on the south end of the divider. The previous cushioning had been demolished, leaving nothing in place to absorb the energy of a vehicle that crashes into the concrete divider.
The new cushions -- they're actually barrels filled with sand -- arrived Feb. 1. The barrels can be better maintained than the former structure as well as replaced as needed, said Nassau Department of Public Works spokesman Michael Martino. He said they are "as effective and safe" as the previous structure.
Alarm permit fee waiver -- there's some movement. Nassau County is a step closer to considering a measure that would waive the fee for homeowners who can show it would pose a hardship.
In fall 2011, County Executive Edward Mangano said such a waiver was a "good suggestion" and he would send it along to the county's hardship review board.
Readers, especially those who have received permit renewal notices recently, have been asking about the prospects for such a waiver. Several tell us they opened the notices to find the fee has risen to $100 for two years, an increase the county legislature approved in August. Five years earlier the legislature set the fee at $75 for three years.
The fee was imposed because the department spends so much time responding to false alarms.
In response to our most recent inquiry, the county sent this email: Legislation "is being prepared and we expect to file by the end of February," according to Thomas Krumpter, first deputy commission of the Nassau Police Department.
The waiver was suggested by Uniondale resident Antoinette Glacken after she was fined for not having a permit when her alarm sounded during Tropical Storm Irene's power outage in 2011.
Other county residents have since told us of their financial struggle to stay in their homes; some work two jobs, others have retired on fixed incomes. The increase in the alarm permit fee is yet one more obstacle in that struggle.
Bellmore Army base cleanup -- No. The violations at the large vacant property in the middle of a residential neighborhood have not been addressed.
Hempstead Town issued code violations in the fall and again after superstorm Sandy and set a Jan. 22 court date. We checked in with the town recently and learned the court appearance was adjourned until Feb. 28.
The violations include mounds of dirt on the 17-acre site that produce dust that gets blown into surrounding homes and yards. Neighbors have called us in recent weeks to report they've seen no cleanup activity on the property.
The dirt is still there.

I'm sure a lot of us have read it. I'm curious about your reactions to it. I read it a while ago, and found it disturbing.
I think the Christians in my life thought I was actually looking for their God in it. I tried to be as open-minded as I could, trying to see what they see in it. I found it to be violently, depressingly narcissistic. When I told the Christians my thoughts, they dismissed the OT and praised the NT.
I found the NT to be as insipidly nauseating as the OT. I had to stop reading it somewhere around Paul's Letter to Some Misguided People Somewhere before I imploded.
My response to one particularly rabid Christian is that I have read it, and if his deity had wanted to get through to me it had its chance. He said I need to study it with assistance from somebody who knows how to interpret it correctly.
Nope! Call me stubborn, defiant, possessed... whatever. I say that if people can find guidance and comfort in the Bible, good for them. I haven't - it's not the book for me.
Views: 1549
Yup, pretty much the same story here. I went to a Catholic grade school, and all the teachers, nuns & priests kept telling me how great the Bible was, how it was full of God's Word, and this was all the proof I needed to know God was real. So I read it.
My conclusion was that God is a shitty writer who can't remember what he said just a few chapters earlier. The sheer density of contradictions, the complete lack of logic or reason contained therein, and the horrible, evil things commanded by God convinced me that if God was real, I wanted nothing to do with him. The fact that the worldview in the Bible is clearly not the world I live in convinced me that it was false, and I left Catholic school secure in my newfound atheism.
Is it not obvious to everyone that Revelations was written by someone who is either psychotic, or high as fuck on mushrooms? Possibly both?
I have an English friend who reads the Bible to me sometimes. Even when he doesn't improvise, Revelations is hysterical. What the hell is up with the four-sided eye-covered floating beast with wheels? Between his Yorkshire accent and dramatic flair, it kills me every time.
Sorry if that isn't in the Bible and he made it up. Does it really matter? I got waaaaay more out of laughing about it than I ever have by seriously reading the Bible.
I think your mushroom theory is correct. I once took a class on Shakespeare, and I was pretty much continuously stoned when I read the plays, wrote the papers, and took the tests. It all made sense as long as I stayed in that state. Maybe the Bible is like that, and I'm doing it wrong.
Christian school for 12 years here-
Fun fact; Revelations was supposedly written on the Island of Patmos (sp) which was known in those times for hallucinogenic mushrooms. I wish I could find the link right now but take my word for it that's actually a fact. LOL...
Dude just needed some bread and water...maybe a good Zepplin song...
Immediately I thought, "With a purple umbrella and a fifty cent hat...."
When I was a teenager, Zeppelin was the closest thing to a god I had. I think you're on to something here!
Is it not obvious to everyone that Revelations was written by someone who is either psychotic, or high as fuck on mushrooms? Possibly both?
No, actually if you compare a great deal of the stuff in revelation it repeats earlier books where social upheaval were symbolized.
A new heavens and new earth and the darkening of the sun and falling of the stars. Celestial symbolism. The earthquakes and rivers of blood are hardly anything new when describing the workings of mankind.
Congratulations on escaping Catholicism.
I HAVE read the Bible in its entirety - very carefully. After finishing the opening "Book of Genesis," I thought that this might be a pretty good read after all, since this first book was downright hilarious! But my optimism was short-lived. By the time I slogged through the remaining horrors of those first five books - "The Pentateuch," I was pretty much exhausted. Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy are filled with the genocidal rampages of the Israelites under the command of a vengance-inspired deity. After reading about the relentless slaughter of innocent men, women, and children led by God on behalf of the territorial aspirations of his "chosen people," I pretty much concluded that it was all wrtitten by people who were expressing their anger and frustration over their long suffering under various oppressors. The Old Testament is mainly an imaginary history of gaining revenge for all the depradations suffered by the Hebraic people for centuries. But it is more than "an eye for an eye..." they are seeking to extract; it is countless eyes for an eye; countless teeth for a tooth. And even in this modern day, the Judeo-Christian thirst for eyes and teeth has yet to be slaked. These people were deeply angry, and they poured out that anger in these scriptural fantasies. The last straw, for me, though, was not found in the Pentateuch; it was in II Kings - Chapter 2, verses 23 & 24, to be exact. A group of 40+ children spot a bald man and laugh at him. God, noting, apparently, that this bald man was actually a clerical personnage of some sort, sent down a pair of bears to "tare" the children to shreds, which they subsequently did. Not my kind of god.
Many Christian apologists dismiss the Old Testament in the light of both the preposterous events depicted, and in the savagery of its God. They instead offer the seemingly more humane and marginally more believable New Testament as the true face of Christianity. But, at its core, it is really no different. All the Christians did was postulate slightly less grandiose miracles, and substitute Hell for the sword. As for me, if I were to choose the mode of punishment for my apostasy, I would prefer the quick death provided in the Old Testament, than the eternal agony of the New Testament.
Yes, read the whole thing. The bible destroyed my belief in Jesus and the god of the OT.
It really surprised me how awful it was. I don't understand how people can believe what it says. Actually I do understand, and that saddens and scares me.
If they have to believe in a god, why not one that is actually nice? I guess there has to be fear involved for the control bit to work. Still, is this the best that homo sapiens can do?
Seems to me if god can write this whole damn thing, 800,000 words worth, and it's so unclear that you need help to study it properly, well then... god needs to take an expository writing class.
I've read the whole thing. Admittedly I skimmed some really ramble-acious stuff. (Isiah could throw a 60 chapter tantrum couldn't he? Although historians now believe it was written by two or three people.)
I agree! An omnipotent deity should be able to communicate perfectly.
I couldn't read the Psalms, or the rest of the book after Paul's rambling Letter. Much like banging my head repeatedly against a brick wall, I felt much better when I stopped.
I've read it cover to cover twice, it's boring, inane, disturbing, and tedious.
Yep, almost the whole thing. I could not read that psalms thing. So painfully boring. I really believe that if people were forced to read it, those crazy people that have never read much of it would go away!

Double-take: AJ's opens two Elliewood doors
After an eight-month slumber, a pair of historic buildings on Elliewood Avenue are coming back to life in full force this month. Readers and Corner regulars might recall that the former inhabitant of 12 Elliewood, Buffalo Wild Wing Factory and Pub, closed suddenly one night in February. After months of planning and construction, property/restaurant owner Art Conroy is getting ready to open not just one, but two buildings as the Corner's newest venue: AJ's.
The larger building (#12), which underwent extensive renovations prior to the opening of the Wing Factory, received further upgrades in the form of a brand new downstairs kitchen, a fully enclosed rear dining room and bar (formerly a deck), and a potentially pleasant fenced-in back alley that will soon be enhanced by student artwork and windows allowing views of passing trains.
In charge of AJ's kitchen is the restaurant's head chef, Kevin Pugh, who says he specializes in "normal fare with a twist." The "twist" may include one of his signature sauces which include a bourbon honey mustard glaze for chicken and cilantro-lime butter for grilled halibut.
AJ's menu features loads of appetizers (wings, nachos, fresh-baked pretzels) and classics sandwiches like French Dip, grilled cheese, reubens, burgers, and a grilled portobello mushroom for a vegetarian option. Many sandwiches come on fresh focaccia rolls from Baker's Palette.
Soups include "Kevin's blue ribbon chili" and a "soup of the hour," and there are also several salads Cobb, Caesar, and "triple play" (homemade tuna, chicken, and pasta salads). Star entrees include filet mignon, chicken cordon bleu, and fettuccine Alfredo.
The little house next door (#17) seems larger now with its new front patio dressed with potted plants and umbrellas. This patio– built by AJ's versatile general manager (and former bodyguard of the late Malcom Forbes), Robert Berns– will serve as extra seating for AJ's as well as for the separate deli that will operate out of one side of the ground-floor interior (beer will be served out of the other).
Partners Kerry Bryant and Renne Van Riper are hoping to compliment AJ's with their take-out deli, which will be open for lunch, dinner, and late-night until 3 or 4am on weekends for Corner carousers and hungry insomniacs.
AJ's will likely open by the time these words hit the red boxes about town, but a definite date had not been set by press time.
The Return of the Hot Dog Stand
Humble hot dogs have been celebrated, in one form or another, since the 9th century B.C., when Homer first mentioned them in his Odyssey "As when a man besides a great fire has filled a sausage with fat and blood and turns it this way and that and is very eager to get it quickly roasted...." Supposedly invented in Frankfurt, Germany in the 15th century, the hot dog didn't hit the stands until 1867, when a German butcher named Charles Feltman opened up the first hot dog stand on Coney Island. In 1916, one of Feltman's employees, Nathan Handwerker, started his own stand, Nathan's Famous which is now one of the world's largest wienee wielders.
Hot dogs stands can be found on every block in New York City, but for a while this summer, Charlottesville mourned the disappearance of Mark Deaton's beloved Downtown Mall institution. Dish has good news: the hot dog stand is back.
Together with Ford Childress, Richard Dryer, a downtown businessman and a big fan of these affordable "meals on wheels," purchased Mark's Hot Dog Stand, and it's already up and running Monday through Friday, with plans to expand to weekend hours.
"What could be more fun than operating a hot dog stand?" Dryer rightly asks. Manning the stand is Matt Perry, who gladly accepts tips!
Dogs are back on the Mall with Matt Perry serving them up

Welcome Mrs. MacKenny
F: Just call me Frannie, most folks do.
Me: Okay, so Frannie, tell us a little about yourself? Where are you from?
F: Why I was born right here in Virginia. Born, raised, married...and murdered. This plantation was one of the largest cotton producers in the 1850's, at the peak of production we had one hundred slaves. Pappa kept the cotton selling and made a handsome profit. Kept the family name blemish free, for the most part.
Me: Married and murdered? But you're flesh and blood - aren't you?
F: Goodness no. I was married on a beautiful June day in 1859 to Robert MacKenny. It wasn't a match of my choosing, but I did as my father bid me. Wed the cad and on our wedding night he and the harlot he married after my death poisoned me. Imagine if you will feeling your life ebbing away as you watch your younger sister and your husband embracing. I was rather angered by it. When I woke, I was here, in this place, with no escape.
Me: It appears you're rather insensed by it.
F: If that low down sneaky man were to step before me I'd shoot him. Still, I suppose in his own way it was an act of kindness. If I hadn't died that night I'd never have met Logan. That's a man well worth the years of isolation and upheaval.
Me: How did you meet Logan?
F: He bought the plantation from the government a few years ago. Once he'd moved in he began to rebuild and refurbish, really brought life back to the mansion. Of course he also brought plenty of those stupid tarts in here. May I say, I've never known anyone whose as randy as he was. Caught him rutting more than once.
Me: So, how did you manage to tame him?
F: You'd never believe me if I told you. It was no easy task, had to have the help of a self-obsorbed goddess, the descendent of my killer, and no small amount of luck and love. Knowing what I know, I must say there's no regrets.
Me: Can't give us any hints?
F: LOL, now why would I do that? You can read about it in that wonderful book, Phantom Pleasure. Why I'm so glad, Patricia wrote my story, else people would certainly never have any idea of the power of love.
Me: What do you mean?
F: Love was the catalyst to death. Robert killed me because I loved a simple, common man. I spent decades here in this mansion alone and miserable. The Logan came along and for the first time in so long I felt the sensation of life within me. The greed and deception killed Logan. I chose death rather than mortal life...and in that found my strength. Logan loved me enough to pull me from the despare I was in. Without his love, I'd be as corporeal as the air. And you wouldn't be chatting with me.
Me: If you had one piece of advice for any woman out there what would it be?
F: (Big smile) Fight for your man. If he's the one, don't let anyone tell you different. Money and prestige don't keep you warm at night, or please you between the sheets. Let your heart guide you and you'll have more success and love than you've ever dreamed.
Me: Sounds like good advice.
F: I hope your readers understand the message within it. For now, my time here has come to an end. I really do have to be getting back. My plane is very differnt than yours - I'll ask my Logan if he'd be willing to pop by for a chat one day...but not tonight. *wink* we've got plans.
Me: Thank....you. Wow, when she says she's got to go, she really has to leave.
Thanks to everyone who stopped by. Hope you can join us next time as we talk to Logan Harris...rake, rambler, and ghostly lover!

Thanks. That is a good thing to point out.Coronoides wrote: ↑Mon May 28, 2018 4:22 amSorry if it sounds like I'm putting a downer on things; that's not my intent. I'm just saying have a look to see if enough of the community will use a Discord to make the effort of set up and maintenance worthwhile. There might be enough likely users, if so do it.
I am currently trying to bring The Book-House at The Piazza up to date, and look into the table BBCode problem.
There are entire D&D settings missing from the Book-House, as it is still being built. (It's like the Second Death Star from Star Wars - fully operational, but with holes in it. ) Adding additional reviews and articles about the products already there and adding new articles for products that have not yet go up, will help people research products they don't yet own.
And fixing the broken table tag would help a lot of us get our posts looking better.
Working on the Discord would involve trading off time from one thing to another thing.
And, forgetting my own efforts, and focusing on the fun time I had at the 10th Birthday Party, lets remember that everyone there made the time in their schedule to be there.
So there is a "cost" to things like this, even if they are provided as a free service. And a cost vs benefits discussion is appropriate (especially if people are not being rude).
Having said that, The Piazza was created by Ashtagon after the staff at the WotC forums decided it was "too much work" to have bespoke subforums for several of the out of print campaign settings discussed here. And not only has The Piazza replicated that, it has also gone on to add bespoke forums for settings that WotC and TSR never supported with forums. (We have got to the level where only the hard-core cult D&D settings do not have bespoke forums yet, and I'm an advocate for finding fans of those and spending the time building a subcommunity for them.)
So, if there was a significant minority that wants to meet up on a regular basis, I think that would be enough to convince me to spend the time working out how to repurpose the Discord server.
At the very least, I can always archive the entire thing until next year and reopen it for the 11th Birthday Chat.

Alrighty – first off, long time no talk!
Now that that's out of the way – I want to talk to you about the current government shut-down. Obviously, this might be long over by the time you read this, but all the same – I don't want to discuss blame or cause or reason… except for the reason of science, which is pretty reasonable. Anyhow, what I want to talk about is doing a science this week – in support of those federal employees who are legally and contractually prohibited from doing or talking about the science they love to do.
That's right – during a federal government shut-down, some employees are not even allowed to give talks, lectures, or tend to their experiments. Government labs are shut down – biological research is halted, (and in some cases ruined!) and other education, outreach, and information services are suspended.
In short, it's a terrible week for science!
So here's what I'd like. This week, and until the shut-down is over – I would like you to take a picture of yourself doing a science. ANY SCIENCE (keep it safe for work and school though, nerds) Take a picture of your science and post it on Twitter with the hashtag, #shutdownscienceclub.
@SarcasticRover will be retweeting the best ones I see (though bear in mind, I won't see them all) – and you should keep your eyes out for amazing sciences with the hashtag as well.
I really want everyone to know that just because funding stops, that doesn't mean science stops – it doesn't mean curiosity or investigation or reason or experimental fun stops. And I want those who don't get to have their science know that we stand with them.
So go! DO A SCIENCE! It's #SHUTDOWNSCIENCECLUB!
It's even on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/events/601470823251107

Post subject: Dining Out: Chicago 2011 Part 2 - Shui Wah, Santa Anna Baker
As part of our June 2011 trip to Chicago, we had some delicious dim sum at Shui Wah Chinese Cuisine in Chinatown Square. We also visited Santa Anna Bakery (in the same mall) a couple of times for some delicious Chinese pastries.
Just north of the old Chinatown is a newer mall called Chinatown Square (just north of Archer Ave. between Princeton Ave. and Wentworth Ave.) When we first went to look for Shui Wah, we approached from Archer Avenue and found all the stores and restaurants "closed". It turns out we were in the back. Once we walked to Princeton Avenue and entered Chinatown Square we could see all the restaurants were quite open for business.
I picked Shui Wah because it had very positive reviews for dim sum. The restaurant isn't very big and there were about fifteen people waiting outside. I went inside (all the way to the back of the restaurant past all the people who were eating) to the counter and got a number assigned to me. It seemed it would be a while, so we took a walk around before returning to the restaurant to wait some more. About 45 minutes later, we got seated at a two-top near the back. There are no dim sum carts from which to pick and choose from (there's no space for carts), so ordering takes place on a little slip of paper which lists all their dim sum offerings. We picked many of our favorites and a couple of items we were unfamiliar with.
The first to arrive were the pan-fried turnip cakes ($2.70) which had perfect texture. It's probably been well over a year since I've had turnip cakes that weren't overly gummy and had a nice flavorful crust. These were perfect. (I think after having these, Tina finally understands why I keep ordering turnip cakes.)
The Shrimp Dumplings ($3.10) weren't as well executed as the turnip cakes. The shrimp filling was mild (almost bland), but the dumpling skins weren't bad (had the right amount of chew without being gummy).
Chives Dumplings ($3.10) had excellent skins and nice flavor.
Duck Feet in Oyster Sauce ($3.10) was pretty bland.
Chicken Feet with Black Bean ($3.10) was a little better than the duck feet, but still under seasoned. The texture could also have been improved (the edible portions weren't falling off the bones).
Steamed Bean Curd Roll ($3.10) was excellent with both a flavorful sauce and delicious filling. Sometimes, this dish can have weird textures and flavors in the filling (stringy/old bamboo shoots, overwhelming shiitake mushrooms, large chunks of water chestnut) which can really affect the quality, but this was a fine example of how a steamed bean curd roll should taste.
We felt the BBQ Pork Buns ($2.70) were subpar due to an extremely mild BBQ Pork filling. It really needed some salt.
The Pan Fried Chives Cakes ($3.10) (why are these cakes?) were good, but we preferred the flavor and dumpling skin of the Chives Dumplings more.
One dim sum item, I haven't had many times before was the Shark Fin Dumplings ($2.70) which I highly suspect only has mung bean vermicelli to mimic the texture of cooked shark fin. I can't compare it to other shark fin dumplings since I'm not highly familiar with this type of dumpling, but I did find the flavor to be excellent and one of the better dishes.
After we finished our dim sum lunch, we walked a couple doors down to one of the more popular Chinese bakeries in the area (there are tons): Santa Anna Bakery (2158 South Archer Avenue, Chicago, IL).
The pastries at Santa Anna Bakery are excellent (especially when eaten fresh, but they held at room temperature for several days as we consumed them for breakfast and as snacks). Everything we tried was good from the egg custard tarts to the red bean (sweetened adzuki bean) buns to the winter melon cakes.
We actually returned to Santa Anna later in our trip to get a few more pastries (some of which we snacked on while enjoying the Lincoln Park Zoo).

Post subject:
Bing (餅) is typically translated as pancake, cake, and, less frequently, flat bread. Since the dish is 韮菜餅, it is not uncommon to see it translated as cake rather than as dumpling since it's not considered a jiǎozi 饺子 by the Chinese.
Personally, it's less confusing than turnip cake (蘿蔔糕) which doesn't use turnips; however, unless you know how it's made I guess one might not question why it doesn't taste like turnips and thus why it's labelled as such.
Coincidentally, both bing and gao (糕) are used to translate cake into Chinese. For example, cheesecake is translated as 干酪餅, a type of bing.

October 12, 2012
By Susan Balcom Walton, M.A., APR, and Timothy J. Pasch, Ph.D.
Just a few years ago, preparing for a career in public relations was a fairly straightforward proposition. While the industries or companies we worked for varied, and the array of products, clients or issues changed, the skills they required were similar. And, whether we were in media relations, issues management or marketing communications, the certain knowledge that we were simply communicators was underneath it all.
However, the advent of social media has added a few more "-ators" to the lineup of PR roles.
While practitioners have traditionally been trained to be generators — writers and creators of content — the changing social media landscape also demands some new capabilities for PR professionals — specifically, the roles of aggregator and curator.
One of the most challenging tasks in defining the changing roles of online communicators is differentiating between them. Since most professional communicators possess and nurture a variety of skills when working online, it can be challenging to define how and when these roles evolve and merge.
For the purposes of this article, we will employ some basic definitions, with the understanding that these definitions are flexible and can overlap:
Generators, as previously noted, are creators of online content. A generator is an individual who creates, evokes or otherwise initiates the genesis of some form of online artifact that can be transmitted and subsequently received by others in a digital (or other) format. Generators deal with their own content, rather than content from other sources, and, whatever their area of expertise, they have the vital responsibility of creating content that is meaningful and relevant to their audiences.
Jonny Bentwood, global head of analyst relations and influencer engagement in the London office of Edelman Public Relations, also describes this concept of a generator as being an idea starter.
According to Bentwood, idea starters are, in many ways, the first stage in a new paradigm of creating and leveraging online influence on a global scale.
"This small collective of people are the creative brains behind many of the thoughts and ideas that other people talk about," he says. "Even though they may not necessarily have a large audience themselves, their insightful opinions often flow and are repeated throughout conversations long after they have left."
Historically, communicators who wanted to share ideas and influence others would need to meet with gatekeepers and attempt to convince them of the value of those ideas. But the paradigm shift of social media means that anyone can now "start" ideas by taking them directly to the audience.
And so, a new group of individuals, known as new influentials, can generate ideas and leverage distribution technologies to enlighten people, engage in global conversations and create information that resonates.
Brandon Andersen, manager of global SEO/social media product development at Cision in Chicago explains this new form of direct communication further.
"We have to understand who our audience is, now more than ever. Back in the day, that key audience was mostly members of the media," Andersen says. "But now, we are going to the audience directly, and we have to ask, 'Who are the people who will potentially purchase my product?' We have to understand what they want, and what they need, so that the information we create and curate is valuable."
Aggregators are publishers who deal primarily with other people's content. To do this effectively, an aggregator may need skills related to Web crawling or detailed online searching in order to gather all potential information related to a particular subject online.
Many tools are available to aggregate information, ranging from RSS feeds such as Google Reader, Reeder or NetNewsWire; to sophisticated Boolean search engines such as DevonAgent for research, HootSuite for social networks, and TweetDeck for Twitter accounts. You can also use organizational tools to leverage and combine collections of social media accounts, resulting in aggregators such as Rebelmouse, Vizify, Hypemarks and Glossi.
Bentwood refers to individuals in this phase of the online communication chain as amplifiers.
Consider a website such as Reddit, for example. Simply by being posted on the site, a piece of information will gain prominence online. The more often disparate sources collect things, the more likely their relative importance will become amplified. It will be augmented through the act of its "flocking" with other similar forms of information, and will gain a higher likelihood of being of flagged by those looking for patterns, who are prepared to recognize them.
Simply collecting data — as essential as this stage may be in the online communicative process — is not enough to take the thoughts of generators or idea starters and move them to the next level. For this, the skills involved in curation come to the forefront.
Curators gather material like aggregators do — but there is one critical difference. "Being a content curator is not unlike being a museum curator — you are determining the value of what you have. You are sorting the wheat from the chaff," explains Andersen.
Curators invoke judgment, knowledge and experience to determine what is valuable to their readers, and they provide content that meets that need. Curators are specialized experts in their areas, and are able to sort through pre-aggregated information and adapt the information for their audience. They allow the message to resonate and begin to achieve the broader impacts inherent in its content.
For this reason, the ability for online communication professionals to identify and engage with curators is an essential attribute.
Another way to understand the roles that particular individuals may play in the online communicative process is to relate them to the life cycle of an idea.
Let's say that a professor at a university has a brilliant idea. Perhaps someone writes a paper and a peer-reviewed journal publishes it. An online aggregator, such as academia.edu, may initially pick up this paper's title, abstract and metadata.
However, the content will not achieve its greatest effectiveness until an expert in the area curates this paper after having taken note of it via the aggregation source.
All too often, content generators who want to broadly disseminate their ideas simply search for the most popular individuals on social networks. But popularity is not the most significant indicator of influence online. Popularity is — perhaps more than anything else — an indicator that the "popular" individual may be effective at aggregating, or amplifying, information in a valuable way.
When gauging popularity, Andersen looks for more than simple popularity as an indicator of true influence.
"Although we look at the analytics as far as what is the most popular, we also look for the lowest bounce rate (not bouncing off the page), to help you to understand what content is valuable to your audience," Andersen says.
And Bentwood continues the popularity discussion. "We have intuitively known this for some time in our discipline: trying to see how influential someone is just by how popular they are is fundamentally flawed," he says. "This is because influence is not just about popularity. If you are popular, then you are a message amplifier. But being popular doesn't mean that you are creating ideas."
The payback comes by determining those individuals who are the idea starters and the best curators of information.
So, if an online communicator desires to influence an idea in order to disseminate it widely in the online community, then it is important to identify and engage with the message creators and curators, rather than merely those with the most followers.
While many new skills are required to navigate the social media landscape and to be effective generators, aggregators and curators, it's encouraging to know that many of the core skills of public relations have remained important — or have become even more so. Here are some of the essential ones:
Susan Balcom Walton, M.A., APR, is vice president for university and public affairs at the University of North Dakota. She has also held communications management positions at various Fortune 500 companies.
Timothy J. Pasch, Ph.D., is assistant professor of communication at the University of North Dakota, where he researches cyberculture and culturally optimized social media localization.

During the past week, the turmoil in Egypt, Tunisia, Yemen, and Algeria may bring about significant changes in the political landscape of the Arab world. The protests and violence may result in fundamental changes as well as in repercussions for the U.S. and allies in the region and beyond.
Significantly, the possible downfall of some of the region's longest-standing rulers could have ramifications as far as the Western hemisphere, where public unrest continues to grow in Hugo Chavez's Venezuela. Will the public see the situation in Egypt and Yemen as the impetus to move against Chavez's regime? Will Chavez preemptively crack down further on opposition in light of the continued riots thousands of miles away?
The Center for Latin American Studies held a discussion of these and other questions featuring a distinguished panel of experts.

Ted Sandyman
|Ted Sandyman
|Ted Sandyman from The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
|Biographical Information
|Old Mill, Hobbiton
|late Third Age
|Physical Description
|Images of Ted Sandyman
Ted Sandyman was the miller of Hobbiton.
[edit] History
Ted was a miller after his father. Sam did not like him, and even less when he found out Ted collaborated with Lotho and Sharkey, in exchange for a new and much improved mill.[1]
[edit] Inspiration
It is possible J.R.R. Tolkien was inspired by the miller's son at Sarehole mill, Warwickshire, England.
- "There were two millers [at Sarehole Mill], father and son. The old man had a black beard, but it was the son who frightened the boys with his white dusty clothes and sharp-eyed face. Ronald named him 'the White Ogre'. When he yelled at them to clear off they would scamper away from the yard..."
- ― J.R.R. Tolkien: A Biography
- "I never liked the looks of the Young miller, but his father, the Old miller, had a black beard, and he was not named Sandyman."
- ― J.R.R. Tolkien[2]
[edit] Portrayal in adaptations
1981: The Lord of the Rings (1981 radio series):
- Ted Sandyman is voiced by Gordon Reid. He is present in the Ivy Bush before Bilbo's Birthday Party and in the final episode when he sneers at Sam's return just before the scouring of the Shire.[3]
2001: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (Extended Edition)
- Brian Sergent plays Ted. He is present during Gaffer Gamgee's talk in the Green Dragon.
2002: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (video game):
- Sandyman is standing in front of his mill, looking for an iron pin (that Sancho Proudfoot later admits to have stolen). Retrieving the pin, which is stuck in the Old Grange's weather vane. He is ill-tempered, but expresses gratitude to Frodo after he is assisted, before moaning the fact that he sent Mugwort to Bree to fetch a new pin.
