Save Yourselves! Get a flu shot!
By Ryan Schlauderaff
Contributing Writer
It's that season again…sickness is running around and around, stealing us from work, from school, from living the happy, healthy, productive lives we all desire. I liked the whole "giving" and "sharing" bit a lot more during the holiday season. But first a quick anecdote on a gift that kept on giving.
Two years ago during this time of year, I went home to visit my folks shortly after they returned from a mission trip to Guatemala. My dad was sick for a few days after he got back, but I didn't think much of it until a week later. Why a week you ask? Because, a week later I was lying alone, in a pool of my own sweat, coughing up gunk and near delirium as my body ran out of hydration from stomach upheavals, and a splitting headache prevented me from crawling to the bathroom sink for more water.
Fortunately, a kind friend of mine skipped her shift at the RA desk and dragged my poor, helpless body to the hospital ER for two IV bags, a hand-full of anti-nausea caplets, and the atom bomb to drop on this Guatemalan jungle fever in the form of horse-size penicillin pills.
This week wasn't that bad, but it was close. In this round, I think I can blame my girlfriend for the gift, but she's blaming her roommate, who in turn insists it was…who knows, it's like trying to trace an urban legend.
First I was achy, then I was coughing, then my throat hurt, then my head started to hurt; by the time 24 hours had passed since the first symptoms, I was afraid I was going to die. By the second day, I was afraid I wouldn't.
Another friend once again dragged my poor, helpless body to a clinic. I stumbled my way to the walk-in desk and attempted to sort out my affairs, explain my symptoms, and fumble my way through simple procedural details like I was some heroin addict struggling through withdrawal. All the while gasping for air behind a mask they handed me as I walked through the door.
I lay there in the waiting room, surrounded by other souls also lying in the ruins of their own failed immune systems. This continued on for what seemed like hours, a chorus of coughing, snuffling and discreet groans of pain (actually that may have been me) until my name was called.
I stumbled along behind the nurse until I arrived at the correct exam room. As I sat there, backside hanging in the cold breeze because those stupid gowns NEVER fit right, I wondered, "How could this happen to me!? I eat healthy. I exercise. I'm not real social, and I usually avoid my diseased friends."
The cheery doctor walked in, interrupting my careful scientific reverie. She asked me the usual line of questions and ended with "Well, did you get your flu shot this season?"
"Oh S#!T!," I thought to myself. "Of all the simple steps in sickness prevention I skipped that one."
She shook her head gently, both reproachful and sympathetic all at once, and told me to go home, skip work and school, and rest up for the rest of the week.
So, as I lay here in my misery, quietly pecking away my keyboard when I have the strength, I say, let this be a lesson to you: Get your flu shot. You'll be a healthier, happier person. You'll be proud of yourself later, and you can gloat when all your dumb friends get it.

"'A woman has to live her life, or live to repent not having lived it. Believe me!' And she took another sip of brandy, which maybe was her form of repentance." -D.H. Lawrence, Lady Chatterley's Lover
In the latest entry in By Heart, the Atlantic series we've written about a few times, Ben Marcus (who recently came out with a new book) reflects on the true meaning of the word "Kafkaesque." Marcus interprets Kafka's "A Message from the Emperor" as a parable about the difficulty of real human connection. (Related: there's now a Kafka video game.)
I'm hoping one of you might be able to help locate my friend's dog, Zeus. Zeus was stolen this morning (9/4/13) around 7AM from a trailer in Rockaway Park, Queens. He is a large dog, a 180-pound bull mastiff, but he is friendly and sweet. He means the world to my friend, who's a Purple Heart Vietnam veteran and has lived with Zeus for 7 years. If anyone's seen Zeus or might know where he's gone, please call Bobby at SevenOneEight-690-4985. Thanks and please share.
1. It's gonna take a lot to tear me away from you.
2. You make me feel like I've been locked out of heaven
3. I've seen fire, and I've seen rain.
4. I'm glad you came.
5. I wish that I had Jesse's girl.
6. (She's my best friend's girl.)
7. We are never, ever, ever getting back together.
So here is the thing about literary Kickstarters: when you link to your book's kickstarter saying, "Guys, I really want to make this book," my first thought is always, "Cool, digital printing has made small print runs really cheap and practical, you should probably do it." I've worked with small…

A new report from Safe Kids USA finds proper use of car seats has improved, but there is still work to be done. Their study of 79,000 child safety seat inspections over the course of a year found most infants are still riding in a dangerous position.
For the first two years of life, it's recommended car seats be positioned in the back seat with kids facing the rear. The study found fewer than half those little kids are riding that way.
National Transportation Safety Board Chairman Deborah Hersman said, "The number one cause of death for children is car crashes. The best thing that you can do to protect your child is make sure they're properly restrained in a size-appropriate restraint."
Lorrie Walker, Safe Kids USA Training Manager, said "When you have your new baby you have to recognize that it's probably going to be ten years that you're going to be working with car seats."
Overall, experts say kids are not staying in booster seats long enough. Something they are supposed to do until they are four feet nine inches tall. For more information visit: www.safekids.org

Resource for Hotel Owners, Innkeepers,
Managers and Associations
Professional Development
Professional Development is essential for both the Hospitality Organization and the Individual. Improving the professionalism for both brings enhanced results which allow each to attain greater levels of success. The Four-Step Approach used in in all assignments is detailed in the Overview of
Consulting, and includes discussion of perceived problems with the client, preparation of a detailed SWOT analysis, identification of strengths and recommendations for addressing the challenges.
Professional Development for the Organization
includes evaluating the competency and skill set levels of various hospitality managers. After the skill levels are identified, keys to success include a systematic selection of hospitality education programs created for each individual to move to their next level of competence.
Hotel Association Case Study
- This was an ongoing assignment for the educational arm of a national hotel association. The association was enhancing its hotel certification programs, and was simultaneously trying to serve its hotel constituents in their demands for improved operational and marketing programs.
I was retained over a five year period to play a major and ongoing role in this project, based on my satisfied hotel and hospitality clients' recommendations and my continuing role in city, state and national hotel associations.
Ongoing discussions revealed that individual hotels needed practical and current program that were not typically available except through hotel branded programs, which could not cross over to other entities.
The SWOT analysis identified prioritized needs, with input from a number of major hotel management groups. Adding practical value was viewed as essential.
Strengths included: committed and interested hotel company executives who wanted their staffs to improve and who were willing to pay reasonable prices for services. These hotel executives included representatives from management companies, individual hotels, regional hotel brands and family operated businesses.
Recommendations included: creating a series of programs that intensified use of technology as well as instituting hotel best-practice forums that shared success stories at hotel association meetings.
: Over this five year period, I took the lead as seminar designer and presenter for requested programs in Hospitality Financial Planning and Control, Ethics, Hotel Sales and Marketing, Hotel Yield Management, Destination Marketing, Hotel Services Management, Kitchen Management, and Managing Quality Services in hotels.
I also conducted an estimated 100 hotel certification programs in the United States and Canada for Hotel General Managers, Sales Professionals, Rooms Division Executives, Supervisory Personnel, Food and Beverage Executives, and Human Resources Executives.
Professional Development for the Individual
is personalized training and coaching to enhance hospitality industry competencies and build polish in the areas of presentations, public speaking, and project leadership.
These OneToOne Sessions provide:
Personal Assessments Personal Coaching Personal Skill-Building
These OneToOne Sessions target these desired outcomes:
Gained Confidence Gained Knowledge Greater Results
I have worked with a number of individuals who were seeking to improve and polish their skills in pubic speaking, panel moderating, project facilitating, and the running of meetings. The personal training, coaching and practice I offered gained them measurable improvement in planning, moderating, presenting, speaking and connecting with a small group or large audience.
Hotel Executive Case Study
- An individual Vice President, who was very personable in one-on-one interactions, consistently scored very low on program evaluations and annual reviews for his public speaking skills. After discussion and observation, it became apparent that this individual did not fully prepare for these public sessions and tended to address groups using slang and personal, conversational styles. The action steps taken were: advanced preparation of both distributed handouts and displayed media, review of materials with peers, adjustment of physical stage-presence, and repeated oral practice sessions of the presentation.
The resulting difference was incredible. He exuded a calm sense of confidence, was poised, and delivered his rehearsed presentation with excellent timing and appropriate audience interaction. The verbal comments and written evaluations following the delivery of his program confirmed his personal improvement as he received a much higher evaluation score.

Jason Aldean, the singer who has always ignored conventional country boundaries, who distinguished himself from the pack of peers such as Luke Bryan and Eric Church by releasing a duet with Kelly Clarkson on "Don't You Wanna Stay" and the country-rap "Dirt Road Anthem", has launched a brand new album. Out October 16, Night Train is his fifth album.
The good news for his fans is that the singer who loves taking risks in his careers was very cautious about this album. He wanted to have the best and since he's the guy who hates staying in the 'maybe', he charged his producer, Michael Knock, to go through about 5,400 songs for this record. The producer said to a famous music magazine that his job was to make sure "the quality of songs he picks from are where they need to be." In other words, his fans get the best tracks.
However, if you're to plug Aldean from the background of his music style, if you're to strip him from al his fame and make this album his debut effort, Night Train might not impress you that much. But since he's a very successful singer, more famous than his peers, his album is the best. And who would dare to criticize all the clichés that fill his new songs, which, by the way, are not his creation? Let's take the track "I Don't Do Lonely Well": it's a sad ballad about being lonesome, but thanks to his popularity, it's better than other people's sad ballads with the same theme. "Black Tears" is a song about strippers and it's better than other singers' it's-okay-that-you're-a-stripper-honey songs.
Even so, the touch of fame doesn't affect the whole album. Aldean, despite all his efforts of selection, missed one song: "Wheels Rollin'," a road anthem with a thematic resemblance to Bob Seger's "Turn the Page" is not so great. It's a song about life on the road, isolation, and sacrifices, but it lacks that something that would make you listen it again and again.
"1994″ though is amazing. Aldean turned the song into an ode to then-country-star Joe Diffie, but it's a funky hick-hop blockbuster, a unique combination of rock, country and hip-hop, a fun track that is supposed to remind those who know about Diffie the greatness of the music in the '90s. "The Only Way I Know" features Luke Bryan and Eric Church and it's a "cool moment on the record, us doing our thing" as Aldean described it. It's a special song that has the chemistry of these three artists.
The album has other highlights too. "When She Says Baby" for example, is a hooky, mid-tempo description of a contemporary romance, "Feel That Again" reminds us of the '70s rock bands like Kansas or Journey, and the opening track "This Nothin' Town" is a song that inspired him from the first moment he heard it and it's a thumping mid-tempo with driven by guitar riffs.
"Night Train", the song that gives the title of the album, is a mid-tempo ballad about the perfect place for romance. "It's ear candy, but it also talks about things that 99% of people either have done or are currently doing right now. If you've ever been in a relationship, in love with somebody, gone out and, hell, even if you just parked on a road somewhere and looked at the stars, you've done something like that," said Aldean about this song.
Other songs to check: "Talk," "Take A Little Ride," "Staring At The Sun."

Hey Everyone - Just back from NAMS7 and trying to get acquainted with the forums (fora?). My area of expertise is audio. I show folks how to record and produce professional sounding audio easily, quickly, and for the least cost. I can talk about mics, interfaces, software, techniques and lots of of other audio-related stuff. I do both voice-overs and music myself, so I'm able to provide advice in pretty much all areas of recording.
Hope I can be of help to folks with this skill set!

BARABOO (WKOW) -- Court records show a state trooper's remark to a dispatcher contributed to a prosecutor's decision to dismiss a first offense drunk driving case against a Wisconsin Dells Police sergeant.
Authorities say 33-year-old off-duty officer Brent Brown slammed into a dumpster in Wisconsin Dells July 17 of last year and left the scene. Officials say Wisconsin Dells Police turned the case over the State Patrol, and investigators arrived at Brown's home several hours after the crash.
Records show a breathalyzer recorded Brown's blood alcohol level at .14, above Wisconsin's legal limit for driving of .08, but Brown refused to submit to a sobriety test. Records also state Brown told investigators he had been drinking at home.
In special prosecutor Jennifer Harper's Dec. 16 motion to dismiss the drunk driving case against Brown, she described trooper Christopher VandenHoven's communication with a dispatcher.
"While en route to the Sauk County Sheriff's Department, one of the troopers informed dispatch that the Defendant 'claims that he was drinking since he got home...I don't know how far this OWI case is going. It'll probably get dropped.' "
Harper, who is Richland County District Attorney, wrote VandenHoven's remark would have hindered prosecution. "The Trooper's statement that he 'didn't know how far this OWI case is going to go, it'll probably get dropped' is a powerful piece of evidence that would undoubtedly be used by the Defense if this case moved forward towards trial," Harper wrote in her court motion.
Harper tells 27 News prosecuting the case would have been made more challenging "...if the officer doesn't think he was drinking and driving" was heard by jurors.
But Harper says a defense attorney using the officer's statement to leave that impression would be "inappropriate," because Harper says the officer appears to have been talking candidly about legal challenges the case faced.
Harper tells 27 News the more significant issue to mounting a successful prosecution was "post driving drinking." In her court motion, Harper notes the State would not have been able to prove that Brown's test result was taken within three hours of the crash, making the blood alcohol result inadmissible.
State Patrol Captain Charles Teasdale tells 27 News he's not heard the recorded communication between VandenHoven and the dispatcher, and has no comment on whether it was ill-advised.
But Teasdale says general practice calls for troopers to focus on enforcement.
"It is not common for a trooper to make comments that would somehow influence prosecution," Teasdale tells 27 News. "It's a clear division of responsibility. Our responsibilities are to enforce the law. And it's the courts and the prosecutor's role to prosecute those cases they think are worthy."
Brown's attorney, Jay Englund tells 27 News he discounts the officer speaking candidly as being the primary factor dooming the case against his client. Englund says the drunken driving case against Brown lacked necessary evidence.
Harper and Teasdale offered no comment on the extent of investigative efforts to pinpoint any drinking by Brown before the crash.
Brown was found responsible for citations in connection to property damage, and leaving the scene of the crash.
The web site of the Wisconsin Dells Police Department shows Brown has been demoted from sergeant to officer. Chief Jody Ward has yet to return a call from 27 News seeking comment.

Sony Woos the Well-Heeled With Vaio Hybrid, Ultrabooks
June 05, 2013
Sony has launched a new Vaio hybrid tablet/laptop and two new Vaio Ultrabooks. All three have premium audio and visual technologies, and they use Intel's Haswell processors, which were designed for low power consumption. At $1,150 to $1,400, they're pricier than the comparable MacBook Air or other Ultrabooks. "They're clearly for premium buyers," said tech analyst Rob Enderle.
Razer Unwraps Sharp New Blade
June 01, 2013
Razer this week unveiled the Blade and Blade Pro, two thin and light notebook computers designed to handle the rigors of video gaming. The 14-inch Blade is actually a slimmed down version of the refreshed 17.3-inch Blade Pro, and it's perhaps the more interesting of the two, due to its diminutive size. It's a mere 0.66-inches thick and packs more power-per-cubic-inch than any laptop available today, says its maker.
Stay and StatsBar Worthy Additions to a Mac's Utility Belt
May 21, 2013
Designers of operating systems can't think of everything that should be in their programs. Utilities are a testament to that. Utilities are software programs that do things that should have been included in an operating system, but weren't. They can help you keep your system performing at top speed or solve irritating problems.

With iGoogle scheduled to be axed in November, orphans of that offering will be looking at alternatives like uStart, Protopage, Netvibes and Myfav.es. While those alternatives will meet the needs of many iGoogle users set adrift by the search company, some souls may want to create their own homepage substitutes for the versatile portal.

The Rebirth of PCs, or Telling IT to Frack Off Again
April 15, 2013
I've been watching the horrid numbers surrounding the PC market with double digit declines and folks increasingly talking about the "death of the PC," but I don't think the PC is dying any more than computing was dying when the PC was created. What we are seeing is a rapid evolution of the platform -- a shift to where the calculations are made back to a centralized resource, but the end result is at least as personal as we have always had.
Analysts: PC Makers Have Plenty of Plan Bs
April 11, 2013
Worldwide PC sales plunged during the first three months of the year, the worst quarterly decline since 1994, according to research firm IDC. PC shipments have been declining recently thanks largely to the rise of mobile devices, but the first quarter of 2013 was as bad as it's been since IDC started tracking the market. PC makers shipped 76.3 million units around the world during the past quarter.
Brainwaves Could Make Passwords Old School
April 10, 2013
Brainwave authentication can be used instead of passwords to protect computer logins, researchers at the University of California at Berkeley's School of Information said this week. The development opens up the potential for users thinking certain thoughts or picturing specific images to gain access to devices, thereby adding a layer of biometric security.
Sorting Out the Linux Desktop Mess
April 04, 2013
It seems fair to say that every tech community out there has its own hot-button issues that are pretty much guaranteed to get conversations flowing and blood pressures rising. The Linux community, of course, is no exception, and it's difficult to imagine a better illustration than a debate that came up recently. "The Linux Desktop Mess" is the title of the post that got the discussion going.
No Clear Reason for Windows 8's Failure to Thrive
April 02, 2013
Windows 7 is the most popular desktop operating system, with 44.73 percent market share, according to Net Applications' March report. Windows 8 is not even a close second -- old standby Windows XP is. Though Microsoft released Windows 8 with great fanfare last October, it hasn't developed much traction so far. In fact, it trails behind Vista -- an OS not known for its legions of loyal fans.
Snagit's a Slick Screen Grabber
April 02, 2013
For many Mac users, screen grabbing tools provided by OS X are adequate for their needs. If you need to snatch a full screen, shift + command + 3 will suffice. If you want to carve out a section of your display, there's shift + command + 4. However, some Mac jockeys need to go beyond those simple grabbing techniques. For those users, there's Snagit 2.
How to Run Android Apps on Your Windows or Mac Machine
March 28, 2013
Have you got some favorite smartphone apps? Not convinced by Microsoft's new Windows app selection? Itching to see some Android action on your MacBook Pro? Don't worry, just install an Android emulator on your Windows or Mac machine and run all of the Android apps that you've grown to love. A version is even available for Windows 8 Surface tablets.
Mac and Back Again
March 21, 2013
There's no denying that those of us here in the Linux community see our fair share of ups and downs in any given week or month, as events unfold that either advance or set back our favorite operating system. Sometimes, though, it's difficult not to be amazed by the way things often balance out "Even Steven" -- much the way they did for Jerry Seinfeld way back when.
Bribery Investigation Rumors Haunt ZTE
March 19, 2013
Chinese telecom ZTE may have ended 2012 in the red, but a new report alleges there was enough in the coffers for bribes. ZTE's Mongolia office is being investigated for bribery, according to China's IT Business News. The outlet is also reporting that Mongolian anti-corruption officials have already unearthed proof of bribes doled out for that country's national digital education project.
Alfred Offers Bat-tastic Productivity for Mac Owners
March 19, 2013
We can't all have the riches of Bruce Wayne. Mac owners, however, can have a virtual version of his faithful servant, Alfred. Like Wayne's invaluable butler, this free productivity app is also named Alfred. Its latest version (2.0), released this month, is more useful than ever.
Dell's XPS 18: Radically Rethinking the Tablet
March 19, 2013
From the first day of the tablet computing revolution -- April 3, 2010, when Apple's iPad became publicly available -- users have willingly traded limitations in computing form/function for innovations in access/interface. In part, that was because Apple maintained a careful line between the iPad and its traditional Macbook and iMac products to avoid self-cannibalization.

It's an interesting mechanic actually.
It's an interesting mechanic actually.
For example, I raid as a shadow priest with Dying Curse and Sundial of the Exiled which both have hefty spellpower procs. When either procs (or both in the same window) I make it a point to recast Shadow Word: Pain as it is refreshed by Mind Flays because of Pain and Suffereing. When refreshed the SW:P maintains the bonus damage from the procs which have since expired.
I'm not sure if this is supposed to work in this fashion, or if it occurs with any other spells right now, but it's worth noting.

March 29, 2012 Hot Topics
Elton John, 65, revealed his drug habit was once so severe, he's lucky he didn't suffer the same fate as Whitney Houston.
In a recent interview with E!, the "Tiny Dancer" singer admitted to having major drinking and drug problems, but overcame the addictions in 1990.

Green Dot Strategy
The Green Dot Strategy is an approach to violence prevention that capitalizes on the power of peer and cultural influence. Powered by Social Change Theory, the model targets all community members as potential bystanders and seeks to engage them through awareness. The goal is for groups to engage in a basic education program, equipping them with skills to integrate moments of prevention within existing relationships and daily activities. Green Dot asks you to intervene actively in any potential dangerous situation. Conceptually, Green Dot is comprised of three basic components:
Green Dot is built on the premise that in order to measurably reduce the perpetration of power-based personal violence, a cultural shift is necessary. In order to create a cultural shift, a critical mass of people will need to engage in a new behavior or set of behaviors that will make violence less sustainable within any given community. The "new behavior" is a Green Dot.
In isolation, even the most determined single Green Dot can dissolve into silent resignation when faced with a task as daunting as changing our culture. The power of Green Dot is the momentum that can be created and sustained when individuals see themselves in connection with others as a part of something ultimately bigger than the sum of its parts.
Power-based personal violence happens to such a staggering degree that the only workable solution must involve a broad-based, good ole' fashioned social movement. Each significant stride in human rights has been fueled by and built upon a social movement. Enough individuals simply raising their voices saying, "This is no longer acceptable. Today is the day we reclaim our fundamental right to something better." One Green Dot at a time, this is our moment in history to reclaim our right to live free of violence and fear of violence.

Written by Kendra Lancaster
I love trashy reality TV shows, I really do; and VH1 is one of my favorite channels. Over fall break, my friend and I decided to watch some late night TV and decided to turn it on to VH1 not thinking much of it.
The new show "The Pick-Up Artist 2" was playing, led by the teachings of Erik "Mystery" von Markovik. It's a new reality competition show which takes social awkward men and teaches them Mystery's style of picking up women. While watching his method, both my friend and I became increasingly disgusted in the way it treats women.
Mystery basically believes that in order to pick-up women, a man needs to play off of her insecurity and make her feel bad about herself to cause her to seek validation in him. While talking with girls, Mystery and his entourage encourage these men to give women back-handed compliments to make them think as if they are "disqualifying" them as a potential partner. By doing this, the women will feel the need to prove themselves as a mate to these men.
An example of one of these backhanded compliments is having one of the friends asks if the girl that the man is with is cool. The man doesn't reply with praise, but instead, "well, she's good enough." That way the man is showing interest, but the girl also easily begins insecure and inadequate about herself.
Mystery also used the words "reward" and "punishment" in regards to flirting with the women. If the prospective girl gives you attention, only then do you reward her with your own personal attention. While on the flip side, if she isn't giving you enough, then you punish her by not giving her your attention.
I can understand the basic concept of not wanting to flirt with someone who doesn't seem as if they're interested, but using the words "reward" and "punishment" is completely degrading to women. Those are words one uses with pets whom are being trained, not with real live adults.
After the regular episode was aired, Mystery's "tips" feature was on next, where he took questions from his fans. One of the questions asked was whether or not men should buy women drinks at clubs. Mystery's answer was no, because by buying a women a drink, you are lowering your "value" down to hers. Instead you're supposed to have a girl show her worth to you.
It is horrible for a guy to tell his "students" that they should look at women as a lower being. Men and women are equal in all regards. A guy does not need to buy a girl a drink in any situation, just like a woman should not need to buy a male a drink; but the excuse should not be because of a difference in "value." If two people are mutually attracted to each other, than they have already given the other a high value.
I am absolutely repulsed that VH1 would give this man a show, and encourage men to treat women like this. The show is all about teaching men how to successfully manipulate a girl to hook-up with them.
This show gives me little hope for men. It enforces the concept that men are only interested in a woman's body, instead of her personality or anything else. The worst part is that the women they are hitting on, are women whom are already insecure with themselves. By giving them false validation, they will only become even more insecure about themselves in the future. Even though the man may have a fun night, but the way the women were treated in the process should make it not worth it.
Instead of a show on how to teach "geeky" guys how to pick up women, it should be about how to find something deeper. Build up their confidence, teach them how to respect themselves, how to respect women, and then finally how to put that all together and meet women in regular places. Then they can take all of that and find meaningful relationships, which are much better than one-night-stands.

Notable Quotes on Dinner Parties
When it comes to dinner parties, everyone wants to weigh in. From where to sit to what's fair game for topics of conversation, lots of famous folks — Dr. Seuss, Oscar Wilde, Ina Garten —are on the record talking about dinner parties. Here are a few memorable quotes:
If I were invited to a dinner party with my characters, I wouldn't show up.
- Dr. Seuss
I try to greet my friends with a drink in my hand, a warm smile on my face, and great music in the background, because that's what gets a dinner party off to a fun start.
- Ina Garten
I wasn't a great dinner party guest. I would say, 'Great to be here. Now, can I have some steamed chicken and steamed vegetables?
- Hugh Jackman
If it was my business, I wouldn't talk about it. It is very vulgar to talk about one's business. Only people like stockbroker's do that, and then merely at dinner parties.
- Oscar Wilde
At a formal dinner party, the person nearest death should always be seated closest to the bathroom.
- George Carlin
I can get a better grasp of what is going on in the world from one good Washington dinner party than from all the background information NBC piles on my desk.
- Barbara Walters
At a dinner party one should eat wisely but not too well, and talk well but not too wisely.
- W. Somerset Maugham, British playwright

I guess one of my favorites is about Winston Churchill; a not particularly attractive lady admonished him about his generous intake of liquor and his reply was deadly " Whereas I will be sober in the morning my dear lady, you will still be ugly" Perhaps not verbatim but close. Always pick your verbal sparring partners with care!
This gem is from Rocco Dispirito, "Only cook and eat food with people you like - life's too short for bad food and bad company."

School district officials said a dead bat was found by a student at East End Elementary School on Monday morning.
John Eby, spokesperson for the School District of Pickens County, said the bat was located in the Easley classroom about 10 a.m.
He said the student let a teacher know, who made sure all of the students washed their hands. Eby said a custodian disposed of the bat and disinfected the classroom.
Students did not report coming in contact with the animal, according to Eby.
A contractor is scheduled to examine the school Monday to discover how the bat got inside and prevent it from happening again.
Eby said parents were notified about the discovery and will be contacted with updates if necessary.

The kid wearing jersey No. 2 stepped to the plate with the game tied, 5-5. One on, one out in the top of the sixth inning. Pitch. Swing. Gone. A two-run blast over the left-center field fence. A home run that gave Weston's American Legion baseball team an insurmountable lead in a 13-7 road win over Medford on July 2.
The dinger highlighted a superb game by No. 2: He doubled, scored twice, knocked in three runs, and played a sterling center field. He was, quite simply, the best player on the field.
He was also, it turns out, an ineligible athlete playing under the name of someone four years younger, at the direction of the team's head coach, Justin Miller. Later, after self-reporting the violation to Zone 5 Commissioner Len Noce, Miller, also an assistant baseball coach at , was suspended for the remainder of the season. Weston forfeited the victory and was placed on probation.
The young man who starred for the Wildcats that summer morning was Paul Nelson, a sophomore at Allegheny College in Meadville, Penn. and a member of the Gator baseball team. He was 59 days shy of his 20th birthday and nine months too old to play American Legion baseball.
But according to the official lineup card handed to the plate umpire by Miller, he was Kevin Superko, a then 15-year-old rising junior at .
I was covering the game, assigned to focus on the trio of Wellesley players listed on the Wildcats' roster: Dean Petzing, Chris Mele and Superko. Petzing, a 2010 Wellesley High graduate, went 2 for 4 with a double and an RBI. Mele, his classmate, missed the game because of a job conflict. Superko — the real one — didn't play an inning for Miller's squad all summer, I learned later.
After the final out, I interviewed Miller and asked him about the Wellesley boys. "Kevin had a great game," Miller said hurriedly. He spoke more comfortably and at greater length about Petzing and Mele. I figured he was just praising his veterans and keeping the new kid's ego in check.
Then I asked to speak with Superko and Petzing. Miller called two players over, summoning Nelson with Superko's name. I recall Nelson shooting his coach an uncertain glance but thought nothing of it. I've interviewed my share of nervous, awkward teenage athletes. Nelson shook my hand, introduced himself as Superko, and answered my questions, along with Petzing.
When our brief interview concluded, I photographed the pair and left to write my story.
In September, two months after the game, Wellesley Patch Editor Bret Silverberg received an e-mail from Superko's father, Mark, alleging the deception. A third party familiar with Kevin Superko confirmed to me that the player in my published photograph was "100 percent not Superko." I have spent the last few weeks investigating the claim. This is what I have found:
On the morning of July 2, with little time before his team's 10 a.m. game at Playstead Park in Medford, Miller had a problem. Only eight of his players were available that day. He needed one more, or Weston would be forced to forfeit.
There was a contingency plan for predicaments like this: Legion rules allow programs to "double roster" three players, making them available to both the senior team and the junior team. Kevin Superko was one of Weston's double-rostered players.
But in an interview last week, Miller said he could not call up Superko or another junior player because the junior team had an away game that weekend. A schedule posted on the team's website shows no such contest.
Miller insists he wasn't seeking an unfair advantage. He just wanted to play the game.
He called Nelson. The Weston High graduate, who batted .303 for Miller's Legion club in 2010, agreed to play. In an e-mail exchange, Nelson told me he was desperate for game action. He'd gotten only four at-bats during his freshman season at Allegheny and was a backup for the Arlington Trojans of the Intercity League.
"I just wanted to play one more game with Weston more than anything because riding the bench for my other team was so frustrating and degrading," said Nelson, who apologized to me and the Superko family. "It was established it was just a one-time thing."
Miller said he happened to have Superko's No. 2 jersey in his car, so he assigned the shirt and the name to Nelson. Looking back, he called the scheme "stupid."
"I made a split-second decision, and I certainly regret it," Miller said. "We weren't trying to cheat or gain an advantage."
Miller acknowledged he compounded the lie by having Nelson pose as Superko during an interview with me.
"I should have stopped it, but you make a bad decision and you don't have time to think it through," he said. "In the moment, I made a bad decision worse. It was stupid, and I let a bad decision get worse."
Miller said his own guilty conscience, and the knowledge that my article would be published soon, prompted him to report the fraud to Noce. The commissioner told me Miller's greatest sin was against his own players, like Petzing, who was forced to choose between ratting out his coach and going along with the plot.
"You've got to tell these other boys to keep their mouths shut and basically lie," Noce said. "That's why he got suspended, right there."
Noce said he was satisfied that Nelson played only one game as Superko, and kept the matter very quiet. He suspended Miller for the remainder of the season but reinstated him at the end of the summer and will allow Miller to coach next season. The scandal has gone unreported until now.
"Justin has been a valuable part of Legion baseball," Noce said. "What he did was make a move that he shouldn't have made."
Miller, too, defended his record, saying the illegal substitution "isn't my character."
"Throughout my time, I feel I've tried to instill the right morals and priorities in my players," he said. "I feel like I've done a lot of good."
Mark Superko said he learned his son's name had been borrowed shortly after the game, when Petzing called to explain what happened. He said he didn't notify Wellesley Patch sooner because he feared people would question his motive. Mark Superko has been trying, so far unsuccessfully, to resurrect Wellesley's Legion program, an effort that already put him at odds with Weston.
Ultimately, Mark Superko said, he chose to speak up on his son's behalf.
"Kevin is a good player in his own right (and) does not need articles written about others playing under his name," he said.

Good chow near 405/Sunset Blvd (Brentwood)?
I'm visiting LA and am staying at the Hotel Angeleno which is located (according to their website) at the crossroads of Brentwood and Bel-Air at 170 N. Church Lane. I know absolutely nothing about LA, and will not have a car. Is there any good chow nearby? Is it a safe neighborhood to walk in to get to local eateries? I'm targeting moderate places, no more than about $15 per entree. Ethnic is fine. Thoughts?
Your closest ethnic place would probably be the Clay Pit for Indian food. It's at 145 S Barrington Ave. and you would walk west on Sunset Blvd. a little more than a half a mile to get there. Not the most brilliant Indian food in LA, but it will do in a pinch. You are kind of in "no mans" land at that hotel, especially when it comes to walking.
re: Servorg
Thanks for the reply. Is it easy to get a cab in this area? Is there anything like what I'm looking for within a 10-15 minute cab ride?
re: vonmoishe
Remember that cabs can't be hailed in L.A., they have to be called. Typically they show up in 10-20 minutes, maybe faster if you have the doorman or concierge call for you.
As both Servorg and Emme have warned, you'll be in an area that is extremely pedestrian-hostile (not to mention noisy -- it's literally facing the 405). There are sections of Sunset Blvd. that are unlit AND have no sidewalks, so forget about walking anywhere after sundown or at peak hours.
And the restaurants you're going to find in Brentwood are definitely going to challenge your budget.
re: vonmoishe
You probably will want to go over to the Westwood Village area or down Barrington to the heart of Brentwood. Definitely cab it. While cab's aren't supposed to pick you up on the street I have never had a problem hailing them in the Westwood area. A couple of good, solid Thai places that will be in your price range are:
Emporium Thai Cuisine
1275 Westwood Blvd, Los Angeles 90024
Between Ashton & Wellworth Ave
Thai House
1049 Gayley Ave, Los Angeles 90024
Between Kinross Ave & Weyburn Ave
really nothing within walking distance, as even the clay pit is on barrington and the walk along sunset isn't safe at particular points. i mean there's san gennaro there on barrington ct as well. if you're not married to that hotel (as in you haven't already booked), i'd consider changing if you're not going to have a car. otherwise, i'd rent a car or take taxis over to italian restaurants on san vicente. pizzacotto would be an option over there. coral tree cafe. also westwood isn't too far, if you wanted to take a taxi or drive to westwood blvd... shamshiri, california fresh, and others... if you decide to rent a car or taxi it, let us know so we can make some driving distanced recs.
I don't know exactly where the hotel is, but if it's where I think it is, I agree with Servorg. Many of the restaurants closeby would be in Brentwood Village or Westwood Village. To get to Westwood Village, I think you would need a car. Cab rides in LA can become expensive very quickly.
I don't know exactly what would be in walking distance, but I can give you some recs within a few miles of where I think you'll be. In Brentwood, I recommend Coral Tree Cafe. They have good salads, and I recommend the banana latte.
On Westwood Blvd., in Westwood, I recommend Shamshiri Grill.
Shamshiri Grill
1712 Westwood Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90024
Coral Tree Cafe
11645 San Vicente Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90049
Take a cab to Santa Monica. Father's Office is in your budget. Or, take a cab to Monte Alban in West LA.
You can't walk anywhere from your hotel, but you can take a $10 cab ride to some great, inexpensive, restaurants. The hotel might have a shuttle within a certain radius, you should ask them.
re: OC Mutt
Walk across the street to the Luxe Hotel. The restaurant "On Sunset" serves a great breakfast, excellent lunch and has a very nice bar with a good and inexpensive bar menu. I prefer the bar menu to the regular dinner menu. The bartender makes a fine drink and those hamburger sliders & fries make for an inexpensive & yummy meal. Best of all, you can walk right back to your hotel.
hotel angelino's location does not afford any safe walking route to any restaurant, much less a reasonably priced restaurant.
to make matters worse, the food at the hotel itself is VERY expensive, and not nearly worth even half of what they charge.
what the hotel does offer, is a very lovely, comfortable bar area upstairs with a great view and terrible table service (go to the bar, order your drinks, and carry the drinks back to the table yourself). the check for 2 martinis and one chopin vodka was $40 before tip.
You're in the same neighborhood as The Getty Museum. Great architecture, gardens, and view (the hotel can be seen below from the Getty). Some consider the art to be okay but I've always thoroughly enjoyed the art and never find enough time to cover all of the galleries in one visit. The cafe can be done for $15 (not the restaurant). If you plan on visiting, it's a great deal - it's free. The hotel should have some sort of courtesy shuttle as most guests will be in your position - from out of town, in the middle of no where, and itching to go to the Getty, Westwood, Brentwood, or possibly even Century City or West LA. It would be worth a call to the hotel to find out what places the courtesy shuttle typically takes their guests. You can then search this board accordingly. If the shuttle runs to these neighborhoods, you may want to grab some picnic-like foods on one of your outings around these areas, and eat outdoors around one of the museum's outdoor or garden areas. Your best bet for local one-stop great food shopping would probably be Vicente Foods on San Vicente and Bundy. They serve a neighborhood that is deep with deep pockets. Yes, you'll end up spending more than $15 for a picnic lunch here but their service counters are top notch.
Westwood Village (the area just south of UCLA) has a few places that are worth eating at, but the real jems are along the few blocks of Westwood Blvd south of Westwood Village. It would be worth your time to search the LA Board for recs in the Westwood area, particularly for some great Persian, Lebanese, and even some decent Italian that would work within your budget, especially for lunch.
Like some have already mentioned, Brentwood is a tough do for $15. The restaurants in Brentwood that are usually preferred on this board are more in the $30-$60 range. You will find some decent quality eats - nothing special - like Soup Plantation and eateries of that type that will work within your budget, but nothing spectacular - the rent is too high in this neighborhood for more typical ethnic LA eats.
I think if you can go down a little further to West LA, you will find many more options well within your reach. The main streets that run through West LA - Wilshire, Santa Monica, Olympic, Pico, Westwood, Sepulveda, and Sawtelle - have so many types of food, ethnic and otherwise. I think it may be out of the hotel's courtesy shuttle's range, but it couldn't hurt to ask. The first two places that come to mind in West LA for the stated price range for entrees are Nook and Monte Alban. Both are very good, reasonably priced, and unique in their own ways. And both are a stone's throw away from each other on Santa Monica Blvd.
I am guessing that you're about four to five miles away from Sawtelle and Olympic Blvds. This part of Sawtelle Blvd is well known for having some decent to great restaurants that are mainly Japanese. I'd say at least 2/3 of the joints around this neighborhood can be done for $15-$20. If you're willing to spend around $30 to $40 total, you could do dinner at great places like Orris or Bar Hayama.
Again, call the hotel, find out where their shuttles run, find out what cab fare typically costs for say a five-mile trip, and you could then search the boards accordingly.

This was easy to prepare and beautiful coming out of the oven; it really held its shape when it was sliced. The French bread dough was crunchy and chewy, and it's hard to beat the spicy, gooey combination of hot sausage and cheese.
Sausage Bread
Refrigerated dough is the secret to whipping up this quick and easy bread recipe that's filled with hearty sausage and gooey cheese.
Yield: Makes 6 servings
- 1 (1-lb.) package ground hot pork sausage
- 1 (11-oz.) can refrigerated French bread dough
- 1 1/2 cups shredded pizza cheese blend
- 1. Cook sausage in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, stirring until sausage crumbles and is no longer pink. Remove from pan; drain well, pressing between paper towels.
- 2. Unroll dough into a rectangular shape on a lightly greased baking sheet; sprinkle evenly with sausage and cheese. Beginning with 1 long side, roll up, jelly-roll fashion. Turn, seam side down, on baking sheet, and pinch ends to secure filling inside. Cut 3 (1/4-inch-deep) slits across top of dough with a sharp paring knife.
- 3. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until browned. Remove from oven; let stand 10 minutes before slicing.
- Note: For testing purposes only, we used Pillsbury Crusty French Loaf.

SCi considers Eidos
With flagging financials and the possibility of liquidation within weeks if a buyer isn't found, times are hard for UK publisher Eidos, once a company at the forefront of the industry. Indeed, as if by example of how far the mighty have fallen, former comparative minnow SCi are reported to be considering a bid for the ailing publisher, having surpassed the former giant in recent times - thanks to hits like Conflict. The rumoured bid was reported in The Telegraph newspaper on Sunday, and shares in Eidos rose 10% on Monday valuing the company at around the £60 million mark.
Of course, with IPs like Hitman, Tomb Raider and Championship Manager under their belts, the true value of Eidos must be much higher, but with the costs of integration with another publisher and the investment required to continue developments, the costs involved in taking on this once infallible firm are also considerable. Apparently, an offer is on the table for Eidos, but it seems to be based on various factors which may not come to pass. Various other potential investors are also sniffing around, including a rumoured interest from News International. We'll keep you posted on this.

Years of conflict has had serious consequences on the availability and accessibility of health care in some of Afghanistan's provinces, with women and children often the most vulnerable.

Russia has sent a naval flotilla of seven warships led by an anti-submarine destroyer to its naval base at the Syrian port of Tartus.
The Admiral Chabanenko and three landing craft have left their home port of Severomorsk in the Arctic Circle on their way to the Mediterranean where they will be joined by the Russian patrol ship Yaroslav Mudry as well as an assistance vessel, a military source told the agency.
The patrol ship Smetlivy from the Russian Black Sea Fleet's base in the Ukrainian port of Sevastopol is also on its way to Tartus.
"The program of the voyage includes a call in the Syrian port of Tartus," the unnamed source told the news agency.
A military source was quoted as saying the ships were carrying marines on a training mission as well as food, water and fuel for Russia's naval maintenance and repair base in Syria's Mediterranean port of Tartus.
It is Moscow's only naval base outside of the former Soviet Union and its navy regularly sends supplies there.
Moscow has been the major ally of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad as he battles an armed uprising, but the source said the ships' mission had nothing to do with the conflict.
The destroyer Smetlivy, which patrolled the waters off the coast of Syria in April and May, was seen leaving the Black Sea port of Sevastopol on Tuesday morning.
"Smetlivy is leaving for Syria today… The vessel is expected to reach the Turkish straits tomorrow morning," the navy source said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
A Russian Black Sea Fleet spokesman said the ship had been dispatched, but declined to confirm its destination. "The vessel has gone to sea, I cannot tell you anything else," spokesman Vyacheslav Trukhachyov said.
The military source told Interfax that three landing ships and an anti-submarine destroyer from Russia's Northern fleet had left the port of Severomorsk and were headed for Tartus.
In response, the White House said that the United States said it is aware of a Russian naval flotilla headed for a Syrian port but does not yet see cause for concern.
"We currently have no reason to believe this move is anything out of the ordinary but we refer you to the Russian government for more details," Erin Pelton, a spokeswoman for the National Security Council said.
Russia, which has blocked Western-led attempts to have the U.N. Security Council impose harsh sanctions on Assad's government, has been a major arms supplier to Damascus.
But a Russian official was reported on Monday as saying that Moscow was suspending arms deliveries while the conflict continued.
Late last year, Russia sent a flotilla of warships to waters off Syria including flagship aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov.
