The writing style of this book is what makes it stand out from others. The content of the book is "written" by characters in diaries, journals, letters, notes and even court proceedings! It's amazing that the story is told so well this way.

I really loved this book. It has 6 people involved and everyones point of view. Its about two schools and a pen pal project between them. It does get confusing but you should give it a chance and I think you will like it.

I really liked this book, it was about some girls and in English class they have to write and be pen pals with kids from another school. It is sort of predictable but it is still good. It's a really girly book in my opinion!

Jenny said:
This was such a great book. these two schools have to be pen pal with eachother and they have nothing in common, or so they think. It's a great read with love, betrayl, suspense, and emotion. Also it was probibly the funniest book i've ever read. seriously, i would be in science, and i would take this book out after i finished my test, and 5 minutes later the people around me would look at me like i was crazy cuz i was laughing so hard (but then again, i laugh at everything). dffenitly 5 stars

Kit said:
This is probably my favorite book. It is a great story told all through letters, notes, and emails. Four best friends have an English assignment to write to their opposing school. They each get paired up with four boys. This story has mystery, suspense, friendship, romance, comedy, and lots of trouble. I LOVED this book, and I would recommend it to anyone!

HLF in Scotland is supporting projects that create opportunities for volunteering, learning and celebrating our culture. The projects that we fund help to give people a sense of place and identity, igniting a passion for heritage, and regenerating communities.
Scotland's heritage is a rich mix of stunning landscapes, historic buildings and unique collections and stories of our rural and industrial past.
We are keen to work with groups and organisations to develop projects that will give people a better opportunity to enjoy, learn about and look after their heritage.
If you are developing a heritage project then contact us for advice. The HLF team in Scotland provides a range of advice and support to help people apply for funding.
We look forward to hearing from you!
We have identified a number of priority development areas within Scotland. They will be the focus of additional targeted activity by our development staff who will be doing more to raise awareness about Heritage Lottery Fund programmes and supporting local organisations and groups in making applications for grants in these areas. Priority development areas will not receive automatic funding but our aim is to generate a greater number of good quality bids from these areas which will be able to compete with applications from other places.
A number of factors were taken into account in identifying the priority development areas including lower levels of HLF spend so far. The priority development areas in Scotland are listed in the right hand column. We are also keen to hear from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) organisations or projects which target BAME communities.

15-Minute Steak Dinners
Serve a steak dinner in a flash. Simply follow our multitasking tips to get a main dish on the table in minutes.
Sirloin Steak with Dijon-Port Sauce
While the noodles cook, sauté the beef for about eight minutes, then make a spicy-sweet pan sauce flavored with shallots and garlic. Fresh thyme adds a final burst of flavor. Serve the steak and sauce over the cooked egg noodles. Recipe: Sirloin Steak with Dijon-Port Sauce
Chinese Five-Spice Steak with Rice Noodles
Serve a delicately-spiced dinner over mild rice stick noodles for a speedy Asian-inspired meal. Hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and five-spice powder give the trimmed flank steak a rich, spicy flavor that's calmed by the addition of tomatoes, onion, and fresh basil.
Sirloin Steak and Pasta Salad
A little multitasking gets this meal on the table in no time. Cook the penne and green beans in the same pot of boiling water. While they cook, broil the steak for about 10 minutes, then toss the noodles, beans, and steak with balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, and a few herbs and veggies for a fresh-flavored one-dish meal.
Recipe: Sirloin Steak and Pasta Salad
Country-Fried Steak with Mushroom Gravy
Serve a Sunday-afternoon meal anytime by dishing up a country-style meal of pan-fried steak and topped with rich mushroom gravy. This recipe suggests pairing the main dish with frozen mashed potatoes–Simply heat, add a little milk, then serve with an extra helping of gravy to satisfy everyone at the table.
Broiled Flank Steak with Warm Tomato Topping
When you're short on time, the broiler is your best friend. While the beef broils, make a spicy pan-sauce with garlic, jalapeño, and halved tomatoes. Serve with instant or boil-in-a-bag rice to absorb the extra sauce.
Rice Noodles with Sesame-Ginger Flank Steak
Noodle bowls are great time-saving dishes. Cook the steak in batches to allow for faster cooking, then serve with a vegetable-laden sauce of carrots, peas, bell peppers, and onions. Dark sesame oil and hoisin sauce give the dish a spicy-sweet flavor that's even better the next day.

David Lodge
Adult Fiction LODGE
Summary: What happens when the solitary world of writing collides with the intrusive demands of the media circus? Adrian Ludlow, a novelist with a distinguished but slightly faded reputation, is living in semiretirement with his wife, Eleanor, in an isolated cottage beneath the flight path of London's Gatwick Airport. Their old friend from college days, Sam Sharp, who has since become a successful screenplay writer, drops by unexpectedly on the way to Los Angeles. Sam is fuming over a scathing profile of himself by Fanny Tarrant, one of the new breed of pugnacious interviewers, in that day's newspaper. Together, the two men plan to take revenge on the journalist, though Adrian is risking what he values most: his privacy. What follows is unexpected and upsetting for all of them, including Fanny. David Lodge's delicious novella examines with characteristic wit and insight the tensions between private life and public interest in contemporary society.

Goddard Center official seeks to transform IT
NASA images, video available online
NASA would be required to develop technology to allow the public to experience missions to the moon and Mars under a $20.2 billion reauthorization bill passed by the Senate. The bill passed Sept. 25 by the Senate includes language from the House Science Science and Technology Committee that would require NASA officials to deliver a multimedia experience to the public, including high-definition video, 3-D images, and scientific data delivered over a high-bandwidth network. The bill also calls for a review of the security systems that protect NASA's information technology systems and data. The review would look at the ability of NASA's network to limit, detect and monitor access to resources and information. It would also examine physical access to network resources. Also, NASA would have to consult with other federal agencies to develop a framework for promoting worldwide safe access to space. The bill aims to ensure that entering, returning from and working in space is free from physical or radio frequency interference. NASA must also develop a program to help promote the competitiveness of small, minority-owned and women-owned businesses. The space agency would join partnerships with industry, academia, government agencies and national laboratories.

The Peace Arch
By Richard Clark
Part Five
Peace Arch Proposals
Governmental restrictions smothered a 1915 British Columbia Municipal Union proposal. Otherwise, Peace Highway, as it was called, might have been built between Blaine and Sumas, its centerline tracing the 49th parallel. Hill's "invisible highway of peace reaching from the Atlantic to the Pacific" would have materialized for 22 miles. The United States would have been responsible for constructing and maintaining the southern half of the highway, Canada for the northern half. Roadside markers commemorating peace between both nations would have been erected.
Imagine a powerful radio station broadcasting short-wave messages of peace to every corner of the world. Its theme, "Peace on Earth, Good Will to Mankind," would be continuously broadcast in 31 languages. Such was the proposal of Scottish author and playwright, L.A. Macpherson, sister of Hugh Macpherson, a British army lieutenant killed during World War I. "Remember, if I fall, I fall for peace," he had told her. The Peace Arch radio station would become her tribute to his noble sentiment. Her dream, published in the April 20, 1924 edition of Radio, a New York Tribune and Times magazine, became a front-page story in the Blaine Journal-Press. "She believes that the constant broadcasting of that message would have a profound effect on millions," stated the Blaine newspaper. Her dream dissolved.
The Blaine Chamber of Commerce enthusiastically published a "mass meeting" to be held at the Blaine Legion Hall November 20, 1925. The chamber, proposing the Peace Arch as its city theme, was asking the community to participate in a brainstorming session. "The chamber of commerce has started this movement," reported the Blaine Journal-Press, "but does not hope to carry it out without the hearty support of every citizen." A poem, "The Peace Arch Festival," accompanied the invitation. R. Rowe Holland, Vancouver attorney and friend of Samuel Hill, was the selected keynote speaker. Alas, hardly anyone, including Holland, amassed for the meeting. The dream decayed. A decade passed before the chamber again tried to promote the Peace Arch.
Early 1944, while World War II was raging, Bellingham radioman Rogan Jones and New Westminster mayor W.M. Mott proposed creation of an international peace university on Peace Arch parkland. The plan called for enrollment of students "from all over the world" as Mott saw it. Jones envisioned the university developing by stages, beginning with a fireproof library containing "every known book, pamphlet or other publication pertaining to the subject of peace." Imagine what would have become of Blaine, had 5,000 or so students from all parts of the world been attending a university specializing in peace studies. Can you see them lounging on the boardwalk, energetically discussing the wherewithal of world peace? I think the customs and immigration buildings could have been revamped to become fine halls of learning. The proposal was widely discussed, but by 1947 a concept so radical died for lack of interest.
State senator A.E. Edwards supported Rogan Jones' 1945 proposal for a swimming pool at Peace Arch State Park. George Ekvall, state architect, drew a blueprint and placed the plan on exhibit the following summer. It would have locker rooms, bleachers, and a lighting system replete with floodlights. A kiddies' wading pool would abut it. Located opposite United States Customs and Immigration, the pool's housing would reflect the government buildings' architecture. Of course it would have looked nice on the proposed university campus, but the swimming pool proposal also evaporated by 1947.
No proposal seems more unbelievable than that of National Highway Association founder-president Charles Davis of Bass River, Cape Cod. Davis, an incredible dreamer, planned to construct a giant world peace monument beside the comparatively tiny Peace Arch. Additional land would have been needed. His steel and glass obelisk was designed to rise 10,000 feet. Yes, that's four zeros. Each of the eight buildings sprouting from its base would have measured 100 feet from ground level to roof, 500 feet wide, and 1,500 feet long. Although the yawning discontinuity between everything that idealism could imagine was eliminated by anything reality could afford, Davis nevertheless won the support of world-famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright, a member of his board of trustees. He revealed his plan to the Automobile Club of Washington in 1931. He would invite the Prince of Wales to lay the cornerstone by 1932. The proposal never got off the ground.
Space allowances preclude coverage of every Peace Arch proposal. There's more in my manuscript, Sam Hill's Peace Arch: Remembrance of Dreams Past, at Blaine's library or www.thecshop.com. For details, locate the peace highway (p. 13), Macpherson radio plan (p. 192), chamber proposal (p. 181), "The Peace Arch Festival" (p. 299), international university (p. 197), swimming pool (p. 207), Davis monument (p. 173).

That Grecian draped dress that you love was probably inspired by Mme. Gres! Most eyes may be on the Alexander McQueen retrospective in New York, but don't miss this exhibition from one of the masters in fabric draping.If I could only have just one vintage couture piece, something from Madame Gres would be on my wish list.

Alexander McQueen must be smiling down on us.Just last week his eponymous label became a household name for non-fashionistas when Kate Middleton walked down the Royal Wedding aisle wearing a Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen gown and changed into a second McQueen dress by for the reception.Then there are the rest of who have been mesmerized by the art of his designs that went beyond what is known as fashion and into an extraordinary realm of self-expression and creativity into a conceptual expression of culture, politics, and identity.The designer who committed suicide in February 2010 is the subject of The Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute exhibition for Spring 2011, "Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty" that had it's gala last night. The retrospective opens to the public tomorrow.The exhibition celebrates the British designer and couturier's Central Saint Martins postgraduate collection in 1992 all the way through his final runway presentation, which took place soon after his death.Before last night's Met Gala, New Yorkers had the luxury of watching one of Alexander's McQueen's friends, the heiress and eccentric fashion icon Daphne Guinness "getting dressed" in a pale-gray duck and ostrich feather Alexander McQueen gown, with an exaggerated hip, for the event later last evening in the windows of Barney's New York as a performance piece.Published on May 03, 2011

Charlottesville, Va. (September 6, 2013) – The Rutgers women's soccer team dropped a 6-0 decision to No. 5 Virginia Friday night at Klöckner Stadium. The loss marks the first of the season for the Scarlet Knights (4-1-0), who close out the Virginia Nike Soccer Classic on Sunday against William and Mary.
The Cavaliers notched four second half goals to cement the victory, as Danielle Colaprico scored twice for UVA. Morgan Stearns posted the victory in the shutout, as redshirt senior Jess Janosz (Ringwood, N.J.) lost her first match of the season. She made two saves and fell to 10-4 for her career
The six goals were the most allowed by the Scarlet Knights since falling, 6-1, to Virginia last season in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
UVA built their lead to 2-0 just before the half, when Brittany Radcliffe struck a goal from 10 yards out. The strike was her fifth cap of the season.
The Cavaliers notched the match's first goal in the 30th minute of action, as Morgan Brian sent a header to the back of the net off an assist from Shasta Fisher. That goal ended Janosz's scoreless streak to start the season at 376:57 – the second longest by a goalkeeper in RU history.
The goal also marked the first time RU trailed in any match this season.
The Scarlet Knights are back in action on Sunday, when they close out their stint at the Virginia Nike Soccer Classic with a match against William and Mary. Kickoff is set for noon at Klöckner Stadium.

The Tennessee Dept. of Tourist Development has joined with other state agencies and non-profits to solidify their commitment to preserving the state's farmland by forming the Tennessee Farmland Legacy Partnership. The partnership will serve as an authoritative resource for both farm level and community planning that promotes the preservation and viability of working farms in Tennessee.
"I am pleased to see so many agencies and other groups committing to protecting Tennessee's farms from development," said Governor Phil Bredesen. "Agriculture is an important part of our state's economy. Healthy, productive farmland provides balance in our communities and contributes to our environment, scenic beauty and quality of life."
The Tennessee Farmland Legacy Partnership seeks to raise awareness among farmers and other landowners, government officials including community planning and zoning officials, developers, business and civic leaders, media and citizens as to the values, needs and opportunities for farmland preservation in the state. The Partnership will also direct farmers and community officials to the technical and financial programs offered by organizations and agencies related to farmland protection.
"We are proud to be among these groups working toward preserving farmland in Tennessee," said Jeanie Nelson, president and executive director of The Land Trust for Tennessee. "The partnership is committed to providing farmers and community planners and leaders with the resources to help keep farms viable in Tennessee."
"In Tennessee, we're losing valuable farmland to development and other non-farm uses at a rate of 100,000 acres per year," said state Agriculture Commissioner Ken Givens. "Agriculture is a $3 billion industry at the farm level. This partnership is about giving farm families options for keeping their land in sustainable production for future generations."
"It is an honor for the Dept. of Tourist Development to be a part of this partnership. Our Tennessee farmland provides beautiful scenic viewsheds, strengthen the vitality of the community and provide a wonderful experience for our traveling public," said Commissioner Whitaker.

Last Istanbul post! Most of these shots were taken around the Topkapi Palace so I suppose this post could alternatively be titled "I GO: Topkapi Palace". I have to admit that when I couldn't flip through a single fashion blog without being smacked in the face with neon articles, I was a bit skeptical of the trend. And yet, here I am now sporting neon on my neck and at my feet. Yes yes, I caved and am a sellout. But the better question is... was it worth it?
Just realized I didn't get a good closeup shot of my necklace so it'll just have to make a reappearance on the blog. In the meantime, enjoy the pictures after the jump!

It's no secret that German automaker Audi has had a longstanding relationship with soccer giants Real Madrid. Over the years, the two have celebrated a successful partnership with a variety of joint appearances, brand promotions, and even going so far as Audi supplying the entire team with their chosen set of models.
Recently, another one of these Audi giveaways took place, but the real highlight of the festivities wasn't so much the photo-ops or the test runs on the race track. Heck, it wasn't even the cursory "handing over the keys" to the Real Madrid players.
The real star of the show was the unique Audi R8 LMS that was dressed in Real Madrid livery and dubbed the "R8 LMS Real Madrid Edition." The changes on the car's body is what will immediately catch your attention, in large part because it's been dressed to show the colors, logos, and even markings of Real Madrid.
The team's iconic crest is prominently displayed on the hood of the R8 LMS as well as on both sides of the car — just above the side skirts. The team name is also spread across the top portion of the windshield and on both doors. Apparently, as soon as you open the doors of this racecar, Real Madrid's own club anthem will play in full blast until you start the engine.

A Community prayer vigil will be held at Community Clubhouse in Crisp County on Sunday, September 14,2014 at 7pm.
Tifton is painting the town pink to raise awareness of breast cancer. The Tifton Merchants Association and Main Street Program officially kicked off Tifton's second annual "Paint the Town Pink" event.
The color pink decorates storefronts in downtown Tifton. It is for Tifton's second annual Paint the Town Pink in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
"It is a visual aid for a reminder, we are encouraging everybody to go out and get mammograms, and we are bringing forth awareness, making certain that people understand the importance of breast cancer awareness and the resources that are available," says Lequrica Gaskins, Main Street & DDA Executive Director.
Leanne Hall is gunning for first place for the second year in the Downtown Window Decorating Contest.
"We try to incorporate something in your store and have something to do with breast cancer and of course you have got to have lots of pink," says Leanne Hall, Breast Cancer Survivor.
But this is more than just a fun event for Hall. She is also a breast cancer survivor.
"March 20th 2011, I was diagnosed with invasive ductile carcinoma," says Hall.
Tifton's Main Street Program won an award for their "Paint the Town Pink" event for the "Best Image Building Campaign" within the state of Georgia.
After Chemo and a double mastectomy she is now cancer free and excited to participate in this year's event.
"It is great to be apart of it and you also get to socialize with other ladies, especially the ones that have just been diagnosed who are terrified," says Hall.
Doctors say it's important for women to do self-exams because early detection is key to surviving breast cancer.
The Breast Cancer Awareness Foundation Survivor's Celebration will be held at 10 AM Saturday at the Masonic Lodge on Kennedy Road in Tifton. Events will are scheduled throughout October.

The body was found about 7:45 p.m. at the Lake Carina Forest Preserve at Milwaukee Avenue and I-94 near Gurnee, according to the Lake County Ranger Police.
The man had been shot once through the mouth with the bullet exiting the back of his head, Lake County Coroner Thomas Rudd told the News-Sun.
Because the body had significant exposure to the elements, identifying him remains a challenge, Rudd said. He was found clothed in a blue jacket and shorts.
The coroner's office also plans to bring in a forensic dentist to help in identifying the man.
Lake County Forest Preserve spokeswoman Susan Hawkins said the body was found "behind Lake Carina near the bordering I-94 area."
The man was found leaning against a tree, police said. Hawkins said the cause of death "appears to be a single gunshot wound to the head."
Police in the area have been searching since June 8 for Andy Adler, a 57-year-old Gurnee man, who went for a bike ride that morning and never returned.
Twenty-one groups totaling about 140 people covered a 12-mile radius to search for Adler and his blue Cannondale bike, the News-Sun reported.
Volunteers with dogs and a helicopter also searched along the Des Plaines River Trail, a route Adler frequented.

WASHINGTON D.C. (WTVB) - Flags at the U.S. Capitol and here in Michigan will be flown at half staff until sunset on Friday to honor those killed in the shooting at the Washington Navy Yard. The death toll in Monday's shooting is currently at 13, including the shooter.
Authorities are still trying to put together all the pieces, but so far they are confirming that the Texas man believed to have caused the carnage had a criminal past. 34-year-old Aaron Alexis was arrested in 2010 by Fort Worth police for firing a weapon within city limits. In addition, Seattle police say Alexis was arrested in 2004 for shooting the tires of another man's vehicle. The Navy says Alexis received a general discharge from the Navy Reserve in 2011 due to misconduct issues. The initial reports suggested there were two gunmen, but they no longer believe that was the case.

I am currently revising the IO setup in relation to our main SQL Server 2005 instance.
At the moment we have all data, logs and backups all on one LUN.
I have been allocated 4 LUNS which I was thinking of using as follows:
Now for LUN4 for I was thinking of either putting system databases here Master, Model, Temp or putting heavily used databases on here, which would be the most logical approach?
I guess I am just looking for suggestions as to how others would split this up.
asked Nov 09, 2009 at 07:02 AM in Default
I agree with Kev, TempDB is often under heavy load and should be separated from the rest of the files. One thing to remember with Luns and SAN, is that even if you have different Luns you cannot be sure that the different Luns are using their own set of harddrives, unless you divide your SAN into disk groups.
Make sure you have as many fast disks as possible in your diskgroup, do not focus on the space requirements for your datebase. Some companies buy few but large disks to their SAN to save money, but they loose performance.
answered Nov 09, 2009 at 08:01 AM
Håkan Winther
+1 - this is valuable information - there is no guarantee that a LUN represents anything in particular. For example, your LUN1 could be spread over 30 disks, and LUN2 LUN3 and LUN4 might all share two disks. Without knowing the physical implementation behind the LUNs it's not possible to make a judgement about whether moving data between them would be beneficial.
Nov 09, 2009 at 08:09 AM Matt Whitfield ♦♦
That is a really good point. To be honest I would like all LUNS to have there own disk groups except maybe the backups LUN as this will only be used overnight.I will include that in my report, from reading up it seems like LUNS 1,3 & 4 would be best suited to use RAID5 or RAID 1+0 and LUN 2 to use RAID 1 for heavy writing.
Nov 09, 2009 at 08:23 AM helixia
The best thing to do is to TEST in your environment. Do a server-side trace on a typical production workload and then replay this in a test environment with and without the tempdb LUN and benchmark your results. Base your decision on real-world testing. Sometimes you will get unexpected surprising results.
Based on my own testing, I have placed tempdb on the same LUN as the data files because placing it on a separate LUN for my workload did not achieve anything except complicating the setup slightly.
answered Nov 09, 2009 at 12:57 PM
Mark Allison
Are your LUNS using separate diskgroups in the san? Make sure they are, because if your LUNS are using the same set of disks you cannot expect any improvements.
Nov 10, 2009 at 04:44 AM Håkan Winther
Using LUN4 for TempDB is a good idea.
It's always useful to separate Tempdb from user db where possible.

3D-printed medieval armour turns Barbie into a dragon slayer
Designs for the armour are available to download for $30 - though fans will also have to have access to a 3D printer to make them
James Vincent
James Vincent is Science and Technology Reporter for The Independent online, and his work appears in print too. In the past he has written freelance for Wired, the New Statesman and the Financial Times.
Thursday 17 July 2014
The politics of what Barbie does and does not wear are pretty complex. Sometimes it seems it's just easier to take matters into your own hands - at least, this is what designer Jim Rodda decided to do when he created three sets of "Barbie-compatible 3D printed medieval armor".
Barbie fans can download the models that turn the doll into a dragon slayer for $30 (£17) from Rodda's website - although they'll also need to find a 3D printer to actually make them.
The trio of outfits (there's the Athena, Parade Armour and Plate Armour) were created after a successful crowd-funding campaign, with Rodda saying he created the armour after a failed attempt to make "My Little Pony-compatible glitter cannons".
"I had some trouble engineering the spring so I gave it up after a few prototypes," said Rodda on Reddit. "By that point my mind was already in the little-girl-targeted toy zone, and Barbie was the next platform that came to mind."
Radda – who is better known as Zheng3 in the 3D printing community – admitted he had some trouble in fitting the armour around Barbie's hands and feet, and that in the end he had to use a Pata sword design (one with an enclosed gauntlet) because he couldn't create a weapon that would stay in her hands.
"Barbie has had many occupations over her long and storied career," writes Rada on the project's Kickstarter page. "Astronaut, veterinarian, pinup, and princess more times than I can count. She has not, to my knowledge, cosplayed as Brienne of Tarth until now."

Washington, D.C., January 14, 2009
– As the 111th Congress begins its first term and the Obama administration prepares to assume power, the American Public Health Association (APHA) urges our elected leaders to recognize the importance of public health as the foundation for a strong national health system able to address the many health challenges facing our nation.
To this end, APHA calls on the president and Congress to:
APHA, supported by its thousands of members and professional allies, will work in the coming months to establish the importance of these priorities as our nation evaluates health reform options. This work will be channeled through the "Building the Foundation for a Healthy America" campaign, which serves as the theme for this year's National Public Health Week observance, April 6-12, 2009.

Venue Review: Spize Cafe
It's rare in these days of ever-increasing specialization that you come across a person you could describe as a Renaissance man. Meechai Kowae is just such a person.
Kowae, who opened Spize Cafe in August with his wife, Jacq, is a software engineer by day. By night, he cooks in his restaurant, serving a brief, varied menu of pan-Asian fare, most of it showcasing the flavors of his native Thailand.
Virtually everything, from the curry of the day to spring rolls filled with lump crabmeat, shrimp, vermicelli and fresh basil, is made from scratch. And when Kowae says he cooks from scratch, he means it. A recent Panang fish curry featured Spanish mackerel he had caught himself off the Carolina coast.
Sadly, the mackerel a meaty, richly flavorful fish seldom seen hereabouts - was sold out by the time I made it to Spize Cafe. Instead, the fish of the day was the decidedly more mundane tilapia. I couldn't fault its freshness, though, and the peanut-thickened coconut milk curry, intoxicatingly redolent of kaffir lime leaf, delivers all the flavor you could ask for.
So do juicy herb-rubbed chicken wings, whose bronze skins fairly sparkle with lemongrass, making the decision whether to dip them in the accompanying chile lime sauce a difficult one. Another small-plate offering - featuring sun-dried shrimp chips with complex, tamarind-tinged roasted chile paste - is a nod to Jacq Kowae's Malaysian birthplace, and a fine companion for any of Spize Cafe's handful of organic wines or bottled Asian beers.
It's tempting, in fact, to nibble your way tapas-style through an offering that includes roasted garlic shrimp and cashews, fried tofu with sweet and sour peanut dip, and modern twists on the Vietnamese banh mi theme ranging from cumin chicken to dry-curried eggplant. You can always save large plates such as tamarind prawns, lemongrass pork, and twice-cooked turnip cake with Sriracha hot sauce for next time.
At some point, though, you'll surely want to make room for Thai fondue. Billed as the house specialty, the fondue features your choice of tiger prawns, neatly trimmed ribbons of sirloin steak, or a combination of the two, which are brought to your table on a platter laden with a kaleidoscopic arrangement of fresh vegetables, mushrooms and vermicelli. Cook these to your liking in either of two classic Thai broths: tom yum, a rich coconut brew enlivened by the gingery kick of galangal; or tangy, lemongrass-perfumed tom kha. Dip as desired in the chile-spiked dipping sauce, and enjoy with a bite of jasmine rice. Once you've fished out all the tasty morsels, don't be shy about polishing off the soup.
Even a Renaissance man can't be in two places at once, so Kowae trained his kitchen staff to prepare a lunchtime offering of contemporary Asian salads and Vietnamese-inspired baguette sandwiches. They're good students, too, judging by the baguette I sampled recently: tender slices of chile-marinated steak, pickled daikon, carrot, cucumber, cilantro and romaine lettuce on a crusty loaf slathered with sweet chile mayo. Sliced fresh jalapeno, too, if you like. I like.
The list of entree salads covers a broad spectrum, from cellophane noodle with poached shrimp, roasted cashews and fresh mint to tuna and arugula with bird's eye chiles and lime mayo. Grilled pork loin and crispy shrimp wonton is a deservedly popular choice. The persnickety critic in me noticed that the wontons were soft at their shrimp-filled centers when I sampled the salad, but the avid foodie countered that the filling was toothsome and the wonton perfectly crisp at the edges. Between the two of us, we managed to finish every bite.
Lunch and dinner, Spize Cafe is a counter service eatery, efficiently staffed by an eager young crew who take their cue from Jacq Kowae, the restaurant's warmly hospitable manager. The urban casual decor reflects the taste of Meechai Kowae, who has owned similar restaurants in San Francisco Bay area. Kowae also brought with him a commitment to environment-friendly living, which explains the recycled paper trays and tableware made of corn byproducts. Even the marble tabletops are repurposed, according to Kowae, using material salvaged from a building in downtown Raleigh.
What else, after all, would you expect from a Renaissance man?
It's rare in these days of ever-increasing specialization that you come across a person you could describe as a Renaissance man. Meechai Kowae is just such a person.(Full review)

Put your big boy pants on or put the game back on your shelf. I have been playing since Demon Souls, and this game is easier than its predecessors. You are given items from areas you pass through that shine the way to the new areas. And then you come back to the older ones once you have sufficiently leveled up, so is that not Dark Souls...? What kind of street cred do you need to boohoo about a game in an article?

Duluth, MN (KDAL) - Around eight o'clock last night there was a serious drive by shooting in the Duluth Hillside around First Avenue West and Fifth Street. Police shut down the area and found eight spent shell casings on the ground and determined that two weapons were used. They are looking for a dark colored sedan that fled the scene.
No one was hurt and as of this morning nobody is in custody. Duluth has seen a rough couple of days with a weekend attack in the hillside, one juvenile is in custody, and a series of car prowling in the downtown.

STEVENS POINT, Wis. (WSAU) -- The Bancroft man charged with beating his dog with a hammer, and causing its death will have a different attorney for the balance of his case. 26-year-old Cody Phillips faces those charges. According to prosecutors, the dog was destructive and had been urinating and defecating in Phillips' Bancroft trailer when he struck it more than once with a hammer.
Defense attorney Jerod Redfield says he requested to withdraw from the case Monday because of what may be seen as a possible conflict of interest. He didn't elaborate on the possible conflict of interest.
Redfield says Phillips will now be represented by the public defender's office, and he's confident Phillips has a solid case because the dog attacked his former client.
