The Odd Couple
Justin Timberlake and Bill Clinton put in some quality time with the gallerista crowd Monday night at the New York Academy of Art's annual Tribeca Ball. The pop star (who's got a new Laight Street loft to decorate) toured the studios during cocktail hour, and the former president dropped by during dinner, catching a room of delighted guests by surprise. Plenty of others braved newly snowy streets to toast up-and-coming artists and kick off Armory Arts Week—including presidential outfitter Jason Wu, who'd used the weather as an excuse to stay in and catch up on Nip/Tuck. But doing the five flights of stairs in the gallery space bumped his heart rate up. "I got more exercise in today than I have in the past year!" he said.
Honorary chair Liev Schreiber, chatting with tablemates André Balazs and Eileen Guggenheim, said his taste in art runs old-school. "I'm probably a classicist at heart. I suppose I got the joke with Warhol, but I never felt like I'd want to own it—until I realized how much it's worth." As for winter footwear: "I like Blundstone. But tonight, I just came over in a car." Monet Mazur had also cheated the weather on the way over. "My husband carried me over the snow, like a gentleman, so I didn't have to suffer," she beamed, indicating her Christian Louboutins. "They're brand-new, and they're not going in the snow."

The softer the lips, the better the kiss.
The only thing better than a kiss, is the moment right before, when he looks into your eyes and leaves you breathless
Kissing is like drinking salted water. You drink, and your thirst increases.
Kissing is like a bee sucking honey from a flower and the honey never ends
A kiss without a hug is like a flower without the fragrance !!!!
Smile! It's the second best thing you can do with your mouth. But I like the first one ;)

Applebome reports that the study "concluded that the plans were drafted to comply with regulations rather than to create an effective strategy to protect the population, and that they assumed people would comply with government directives rather than do what seemed to be in their own best interests."
Here's how the report summarized its finding on emergency planning around the Indian Point nuclear power plant.
In our report we discuss significant planning inadequacies, expected parental behavior that would compromise school evacuation, difficulties in communications, outdated vulnerability assessment, the use of outdated technologies, lack of first responder confidence in the plan(s), problems caused by spontaneous evacuation, the nature of the road system, the thin public education effort, and how these issues may impact an effective response in a high population area. None of these problems, when considered in isolation, precludes effective response. When considered together, however, it is our conclusion that the current radiological response system and capabilities are not adequate to overcome their combined weight and protect the people from an unacceptable dose of radiation in the event of a release from Indian Point. We believe this is especially true if the release is faster or larger than the typical exercise scenario.
Last Wednesday, Cuomo called for Indian Point to be shut down after the Nuclear Regulatory Commission reported that one of the plant's reactors sits on a fault line and is vulnerable to an earthquake.
Indian Point's owner, Entergy Corp., took out a full-page ad in The New York Times on Monday, assuring the area's residents that the plant can withstand the strongest anticipated earthquake for the area

Samurai III: Duel at Ganryu Islandaka: Samurai 3, Samurai Three, Bushido, Miyamoto Musashi kanketsuhen: kettô Ganryûjima,
1956 Classic Samurai Movie - Directed by: Hiroshi Inagaki
The incredible Samurai trilogy from Hiroshi Inagaki continues - with part three... Duel At Ganryu Island. This epic drama of Japan's legendary samurai warrior Miyamoto Musashi, played by Toshirô Mifune. We suggest you watch Samurai Part I and Samurai Part II before viewing the third movie in this epic masterpiece of understated elegance.
A humble and simple Takezo abandons his life as a knight errant. He's sought as a teacher and vassal by Shogun, Japan's most powerful clan leader. He's also challenged to fight by the supremely confident and skillful Sasaki Kojiro. Takezo agrees to fight Kojiro in a year's time but rejects Shogun's patronage, choosing instead to live on the edge of a village, raising vegetables. He's followed there by Otsu and later by Akemi, both in love with him. The year ends as Takezo assists the villagers against a band of brigands. He seeks Otsu's forgiveness and accepts her love, then sets off across the water to Ganryu Island for his final contest.

ecommerce remarketing
In email and online marketing, remarketing or ecommerce remarketing refers to the techniques, strategies and often the automated email systems used by marketers and online merchants to follow up with website visitors who do not make a desired action on the Web site—usually it is when they abandon their shopping cart.
Think of it like this: you use marketing to bring a visitor to your website, and if he or she doesn't make a purchase, you then use remarketing tactics to bring the visitor back to your website and convert him or her in to a paying customer.
People often refer to ecommerce remarketing services as "conversion marketing" or "cart abandonment email marketing."

Killers Lacks Any Instincts—Acting or Otherwise
- Friday, June 04, 2010
DVD Release Date: September 7, 2010
Theatrical Release Date: June 4, 2010
Rating: PG-13 (for violent action, sexual material and language)
Genre: Action/Comedy
Run Time: 100 min.
Director: Robert Luketic
Actors: Ashton Kutcher, Katherine Heigl, Tom Selleck, Catherine O'Hara, Katheryn Winnick, Kevin Sussman, Casey Wilson, Usher
Given many filmmakers' preference for dazzling visual thrills over intrinsic screenwriting smarts, a willing suspension of disbelief is often required when watching most movies these days.
But when someone really expects me to believe that Ashton Kutcher (yes that Ashton Kutcher of Punk-d and Dude, Where's My Car fame) is an armed assassin who speaks three languages fluently and wants nothing more than a normal suburban life, well, that's simply asking too much.
See, Ashton may be the second most popular person on Twitter, but trust me, Killers is truly a movie only his mother could love. Not only is the flick sorely lacking instincts of any kind, but the only chuckle in this nearly plot-free endeavor is a wisecrack about Kutcher's character Spencer learning his mad gun skills in 4-H.
And yes, I realize I just mentioned 4-H in a film review…
See, creativity isn't exactly the screenplay's strong suit (especially in the joke-writing department) but then again, neither is the noisy, poorly constructed madcap action. And charm, an absolute must for a silly, throwaway story like this to work, is also in seriously short supply as the movie pairs Kutcher with Katherine Heigl.
For whatever reason, Heigl has been heir apparent to Reese Witherspoon's romantic comedy throne of late, a fact that still surprises me considering she doesn't play cute very well (see 27 Dresses, The Ugly Truth). And sadly, Killers, is no exception, but if anything, it makes Heigl's Grey's Anatomy days look downright sparkling in comparison.
This time around, Heigl really seems more annoyed than anything as the recently dumped computer nerd named Jen. Apparently, the real trouble with Jen's love life is that she doesn't take any risks, something we discover because of her apparent reluctance to try bungee jumping with her ex because throwing up in public is embarrassing.
But when Jen meets the perpetually shirtless Spencer while on vacation with her parents (Tom Selleck and Catherine O'Hara, respectively, both in thankless roles) in the South of France, all bets are off when Jen seems to have finally met her reliable, drama-free match. In fact, she's so sure that she marries him like two seconds later. After all, there's no problem that a killer set of washboard abs can't fix, right?
Swearing off for good his old life as a killer-for-hire, Spencer and Jen eventually settle into comfortable married life in the 'burbs for three years before things go horribly, horribly wrong. Friends to even their most eccentric neighbors, block parties, peach crumble bake-offs and surprise birthday parties are about as crazy as their life gets—well until Spencer's old life catches up with him, naturally.
Rather surprised that her seemingly normal husband is now a hunted man who used to (gasp!) kill people, Jen doesn't exactly react well to the news. But before she even has much time to continue her vocal hysterics, bullets are whizzing by and she and her hubby are running for their lives.
To say much more would ruin the element of surprise, not that there really is any in Killers. If anything it's just an excuse to watch two relatively pretty people play roles that aren't right for them in any way, shape or form—a fact that even their marketing team seemed to get when they didn't allow Killers to be screened in advance for critics.

Senior Bowl Recap
We talked to an NFL scout who said Clay Matthews gained the most at last week's Senior Bowl because he was the least known player to most teams. The buzz is Matthews could become a late first-round pick if he keeps impressing teams.
Worth $1.85 Million?
So far Washington's main recruiting strategy seems to be to try and steal kids who already committed to Hawaii and USC.
Question Of The Day
Can USC possibly land Bryce Brown, the No. 1 tailback in the nation, with four tailbacks returning next season? Brown informed USC this week he might visit after signing date, possibly with wide receiver Orson Charles.
School No. 3
Safety Byron Moore, who famously committed to UCLA and then USC, will announce his third school choice on Wednesday at 7 a.m. Notre Dame is the favorite.
Williams Watch
La Mirada forward Derrick Williams, who signed with USC last fall, is averaging 24.3 points per game, 8.7 rebounds, 2.5 blocked shots and 2.3 steals per game. His stock has probably risen more than any recruit in the state since last spring.
No Hasiak
Offensive lineman Stan Hasiak of Kapolei High School in Hawaii will not be visiting USC this weekend. Frankly, if someone needs to take another visit after committing to two schools, there are some issues.

3.0 out of 5 stars Worth watching as it's a true story
As a record of a true story, it's worth watching, and the story is interesting although the film is a little slow at times. Sandra Bullock, as always, is very good in her role, but I found the rest of the acting to be rather stilted.

5.0 out of 5 stars "...Anything Is Possible..." - The Blind Side on BLU RAY,
Mark Barry "Mark Barry" - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Blind Side [Blu-ray] [2010] [Region Free] (Blu-ray)
Separated as a child from his older brother Marcus and raised by a drug-addicted mother with 11 other kids in tow (his father was entirely absent) - 16-year old Michael Oher barely registered on public records. He'd been in and out of foster homes since the age of 7 and with a below average IQ of 80 and school grades barely scraping zero - the American education system also considered him to be simple as well as useless. And few in the Hurt Village area where he lived (notorious Housing Projects in North Memphis) fended for him - let alone made it into their twenties alive.
One day a school football coach is approached in his offices by Oher's then black stepfather Big Tony the Mechanic (Michael is sleeping in his house on the sofa). Tony wants a place for his small son and 'Big Mike' at Wingate Christian School in Texas. When Coach Cotton looks out the window - he sees Big Mike (played to perfection by Quinton Aaron)- a grizzly-bear black teenager playing hoops like he was born to. But more than taken with Mike's athletic skills - Coach Cotton is moved (great work from Roy McKinnon). He decides right there and then to persuade a reluctant school panel to give this massive teenager a second chance.
They agree - but then feel they may have made a mistake - as Michael appears incapable of learning and his sole contribution to an exam paper is to draw a sailboat on the back page with a singular child in it - lost at sea. But one teacher Mrs. Boswell (beautifully played by Kim Dickens) believes there's intelligence in Mike - if only she can find a way to get it out and up his grades (thereby keeping his place in the program)...
Also in Wingate School are S.J. and Collins Tuohy - the 7-year old son and 16-year cheerleader daughter of Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy (Tim McGraw and Sandra Bullock) - wealthy owners of 86 Taco Bell food outlets. They are a faith-based white family with little to worry about monetarily but genuine in their beliefs (dialogue above).
Leigh Anne Tuohy is a Southern Lady - all tight skirts, sunglasses in her hair, perfect make-up and possessed of a non-nonsense practicality aligned with a will of iron few will tackle (she mutters "well all right..." all the time). But beneath all that steely mettle is a heart of gold - a woman who practices her Christianity - rather than just spend time with it on a Sunday. To Leigh Anne giving is as natural as speaking - and colour is not an issue.
Slowly Leigh Anne begins to notice her vivacious but tiny son S.J. gravitate towards the protective frame of Big Mike - a gentle giant with no malice in him and a handy ability to forget the past. One night walking back from the Coin-Op Laundry where Mike washes and dries one of only two teeshirts he owns (he's been made homeless yet again) - Leigh Anne is driving with her family in tow and spots Mike walking in the freezing night air in flimsy clothing. He seems lost and even defenceless. She makes a decision to give him a place to stay that night - the opulent Tuohy home. And so it begins - a loving relationship that will eventually see him become a member of the family and Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy become his legal guardians.
But then Mike begins to realize that when it comes to American Football - his 98% Protective Instincts (the only test he ever scored highly on) make him the perfect Left Tackle - the man who protects the Quarter Back. Soon huge clubs (six legendary football coaches make cameo appearances) are noticing his extraordinary natural ability to block anything that threatens his 'family' (the team) and soon he is learning at school too. But it could all be derailed by the Social Services people who feel Leigh Anne may have set Big Mike up all along so that he would play for their beloved team 'Ole Miss' (Mississippi). Soon he is back at the drug-infested Projects and then the Coin-Op - confused and hurting...
What gives "The Blind Side" a beating heart is that it's beautifully played by all - especially Sandra Bullock and Quinton Aaron. There's a danger that it all descends into a rich-white-woman's plaything - a patronizing project she's taken on - it's not like that. Bullock is fabulous in the role (and deserved her Oscar) while Aaron's dignity in the face of ridicule and pain is filled with a grace that is still, peaceful and intensely moving.
The BLU RAY picture is GORGEOUS - defaulted to Full Aspect - it looks incredible all of the time. In fact at times you can see just a little 'too much' makeup. Audio is English 5.1 Dolby Digital, Castilian Spanish 5.1, German 5.1 and English 2.0 Audio Descriptive Service. Subtitles are English, Castilian Spanish, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, German, Norwegian and Swedish. Extras exclusive to BLU RAY are - Sidelines: Conversations On The Blind Side, The Story Of Big Quinton, Michael Oher Exclusive and Acting Coaches: Behind The Blind Side.
As Michael studies for an exam - he's given the academic task by his teachers (who have come to believe in him) of appraising "The Charge Of The Light Brigade" poem by Alfred Tennyson. Michael surmises that you - "Hope For Courage, But Try For Honour..."
By the time the end credits roll - with real footage of Michael Oher joining The Ravens for the NFL Draft of 2009 as Team Member 74 - and then onto stills of him and his adopted Tuohy family - the tears are flowing and your warmth towards these fabulous people is genuine.
The true story of MICHAEL OHER is extraordinary - and John Lee Hancock's wonderful film "The Blind Side" does his redemptive life-path proper justice.
An emotional touch down...and how...

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspirational,
This review is from: The Blind Side [DVD] [2010] (DVD)
No movie has ever made me cry - except this one. The Blindside is the true story of Michael Oher, a homeless African-American 17 year old. He has moved from foster home to foster home, and finally found himself staying with a friend who drafted him into a private school, where he met SJ, son of Leigh Anne Leigh Anne Tuohy who takes him in.
Sandra Bullocks's performance in this film is definitely the best from her entire career. Sandra Bullock was going to turn down the offer to do the film, but after meeting Mrs. Tuohy she didn't want to see anybody else do the role, and good job too as the role left her with an Oscar.
The film is charming, inspiring and a real tear jerker. The first time you watch the film you do feel by the end that you've been sat on the sofa for the past 3 days, as it is a long movie and there is so much information to take it. Despite this though, it's one of those films you can go back to over and over again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very moving and definitely worthy of an Oscar or two,
SusieH (Yorkshire) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Blind Side [DVD] [2010] (DVD)
Sandra Bullock's performance, as Leigh Ann Touhy, a well-to-do mum with a heart of gold and strong Christian values, is outstanding.
She takes in Big Mike, or as he prefers, Michael, played by Quinton Aaron. Michael is a friend of her son, SJ, played by Jae Head. He is homeless, having been removed from his drug addict mother, and his entire possessions fit in one small plastic bag. Michael is black, a gentle giant, has a low IQ, and is an underachiever at school, but scores 98% for protective instincts.
He has to drastically improve his academics, helped by understanding teachers, and his tutor Miss Sue (Kathy Bates), before he is even allowed to start to develop his great promise at sports. Once he is able to relate his protective instincts to his fellow team mates he makes a formidable player, being wooed by university coaches across the country.
This is a truly heartwarming story, all the more so as it is based on a true story. This is definitely a movie to restore your faith in human nature.

I absolutely loved this film from start to finish. I cried happy/sad tears through most of it but it was so inspirational how can you not love it. I didn't actually know anything about it before I watched it so had no idea it was based on a real story which made it all the more poignant. If you're feeling a bit sorry for yourself watch this!!

5.0 out of 5 stars 'A GENUINE FEEL-GOOD MOVIE',
rbmusicman (U.K) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Blind Side (Blu-ray + DVD Combi Pack) [Region Free] (Blu-ray)
.'Sandra Bullock' wins, some would say an overdue 'oscar' for her performance in this 'really good movie'
I did actually feel that 'Quinton Aaron's role as 'Michael Oher' was an amazing portrayel was well worthy of the
award he received and the nominations in various categories at that time.
There is no question that 'Sandra Bullock' a genuine talent, and yet. not all her 'role' choices have done her justice.
In recent times i re-watched and enjoyed 'The Proposal' ( couldn't stop laughing ) on the strength of her role in that film i bought and watched 'All about Steve' back then and was hugely dissapointed, it was a real 'turkey'
This film is based on a true story -
In this film 'Leigh' ( sandra bullock ) takes pity on 'Michael' ( Quinton aaron ) when she see's him wandering the street with nowhere to go and without asking her family invites him into her home for the night.
'Michael' had recently been given a place in a local school after a 'coach' at the school had seen him sink several balls into the basketball net, the 'coach' see's potential.
'Leigh' and her family quickly take 'Michael' into their hearts ignoring the racial jibes.
They set out not only to be-friend 'Mchael'' they set out to help him become all that he can be, both with his education and obvious flare for sport.
This is far and away one of the best movies I had seen in 2010, should 'Sandra Bullock' have won 'best actress' ? ?.. it was certainly a great performance from her.
In my view the film itself was almost certainly worthy of both acclaim and probably should have won 'Best Film' of that year.
The film is certainly worth a re-visit.......enjoyed it as much this time as I had first time around.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Blind Side,
Spider Monkey (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Blind Side (Blu-ray + DVD Combi Pack) [Region Free] (Blu-ray)
I wanted to start off by saying I was surprised just how good `The Blind Side' is, I knew this had a lot of hype and Bullock won the Oscar for her role (most deservedly as well), but I wasn't expecting to enjoy this as much as I did.
This is based on a true story and follows a young black guy, called Big Mike (or Michael Oher), who comes from a rough area and becomes homeless after his mother has drug problems. He attends a Christian school and when he's spotted roaming the streets he is taken in by a rich white family who help him through school and give him a home and some stability in his life. He subsequently gets a football scholarship and attends university before hitting the big time.
This has plenty of scenes that raised a smile or laugh, although this is in no way a comedy film, and the best way to describe this would be as truly heart-warming. It is genuinely a feel good movie and whilst there are certain moments that seem grim for Michael, overall this is a very upbeat and positive story.
The relationship between Michael and Leigh Ann (his `new' mother) is wonderful to see and you also see how helping Michael also has a positive effect on her and the whole family in turn. Kathy Bates makes an appearance as his tutor and as always she is delightful to watch, but to be honest everyone plays their roles superbly, which makes this a joy to watch.
All in all, this is a great film and offers up a decent story (all the better for being real) that leaves you feeling buoyed up and positive. It is directed well, acted well and is one I would happily watch again.
Feel free to check out my blog which can be found on my profile page.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heartfelt true story,
This review is from: The Blind Side [DVD] [2010] (DVD)
I once read a review in the paper about this movie claiming that it was boring and too far-fetched to be believable. I felt like ringing the paper and pointing out to the journalist who wrote the review that if they had done their research they would know that it is based a true story.
As a sucker for any kind of emotionally moving true story I went to see this at the cinema as soon as it was released. In a way I would agree with the journalist, that in parts you may think "like anybody would do that", but then you remember that they did. A persons life was completely turned around simply due to the kindness of another.
It is the little things which make the movie and the story it is portraying so remarkable. My all time favourite part of the movie is the following exchange between Leigh Anne (Bullock) and Michael (Aaron) when she shows him what is to be his room:
Michael: I've never had one before.
Leigh Anne: A room to yourself?
Michael: A bed.
In my opinion, that short exchange encompasses the movie...emotionally moving both with tears and smiles.
I can't even put into words how amazing this movie is.

I just read yesterday that Trelio which has been recommended on this board in the past will be opening in June under new management by Chris Shakelford who is now the Wine Manager for Erna's Elderberry House.
It will be interesting to see how it goes. I have enjoyed several meals here in the past. Each time, the dining room fills up as the evening progresses. The Spanish artichokes were a favorite appetizer for our group. Service and food were always stellar.
re: PolarBear
Not a number of times. The original owner passed away, then someone else had it for under two years. This will be the second time it has changed hands since Elio sold it.
I'm certain Chris will do wonderful things and we'll be sure to report here when it re-opens in June. Right now they are remodeling. It was very nice as it was, tho. ss
re: shauna stuart
Sorry Shauna, I was referring back to the days when a few other places had opened there. Again, apologies for not recalling the names, as they say.... the memory's the first to go, and I've forgotten what's second.
re: PolarBear
Tim was the previous owner that just sold. He sold it to the wine sommelier from Ernas Elderberry house. I'm with you, it will be interesting to see what it is like. That is a difficult place to have a higher end Resturaunt. Should open sometime in June first part of July.
Trelio re-opened under Chris and Mike Shackleford in the summer of 2006. The Sturdy Wench and I have been regulars there since autumn. Their website is at:
We shanghai our out of town guests to Trelio, and we'eve evangelized our friends as well.
To compare, last winter I ate at Top of the World in Las Vegas, a fine dining restaurant more expensive than Trelio but of much less quality.
I can't recommend this place highly enough. IMHO it's the best restaurant in the Fresno/Clovis area in terms of food quality, cost, service, ambiance and staff friendliness. Even the guests are friendly: One afternoon a couple sitting next to us offered my friend and I glasses of their Chalk Hill chardonnay as they couldn't finish the bottle.
Chris was indeed the sommelier at Erna's and he brings his encyclopedic knowledge to the restaurant. Mike is the chef in the kitchen and he has introcduced us to some amazing dishes: Tri-tip marinated in chimichurri, black truffle meatloaf, mushroom bisque, roasted tomato in fennel pollen, and the best mac & cheese I've had.
Mike and Chris* like to come out and meet their guests, talk with them, and they'll answer your questions gladly and enjoy talking food and cooking. Mike is especially free with tips and advice when asked and I haven't yet asked him a recipe of his he hasn't given me. Both men have extensive experience cooking and managing in major food markets like New York City and New Orleans.
Their desserts are flawless. Last night the SW and I had the flourless chocolate torte and the fresh mango cake in a shortbread crust. Both were packed with flavor and texture--there was no way this came out of a dessert factory in Scottsdale. Their pastry chef is Chris' wife, Amy. It's a shame she and I are married to other people, because after trying her key lime pie a few months ago, I was ready to hurl myself at her feet in lifelong servitude as long as she kept cooking. Of course, after eating Mike's chimichurri-marinated tri-tip, I was ready to have his child, so you can tell the food here affected me spectacularly. Thankfully my wife (the Sturdy Wench), although in similar enjoyment, wasn't as overcome as I was, or our holidays would have become much too weird.
The downside to Trelio is since there's only one chef, service times tend to be longer than average.
The ambiance is restful but not coma-inducing. Walls are light taupe with white crown molding, side molding and black iron chandeliers. The floor is charcoal carpet and the chairs are cherry armless and tables are white cloth-covered. The restaurant seats about 40. Trelio is now only open for dinner, 5-9, although the wine bar opens at 3. Entrees range in price from about $22-$36. Free street parking is available, but plan to park at least a block or two away if you go during a farmer's market, rodeo or fair.
*Chris has just taken over the Downtown Club in Fresno, so now spends most of his days there.
Tuesday night the Sturdy Wench got me in an armbar (this is what happens when you marry the daughter of a wrestling coach) and hauled me off to dinner at Trelio. Here's a (I deleted the word "brief" here) report.
The SW ordered off the menu: Duo of Pork and Bacon-Braised Lentil Ragout: Apricot Glazed Tenderloin, Grilled Boneless Chop, Alsatian Choucroute, Grilled Apples. ($28)
We traded bites of our meals and her dinner was amazing, excellent flavors and textures in everything. This is definitely a dish I'll order.
Since she had just gotten a bonus check, I splurged. I had the Prix Fixe menu with wine ($58): Cured Copper River Salmon with Cucumber, Horseradish and Potato Salad. Wine: Red Car, Think Pink, California, 2005.
> This was served carpaccio style, thin slices of salmon layered on the plate, with a few what looked like dried capers (but I forgot to ask about them.) The salmon tasted fresh, no "fishy" smell, and it was moist and succulent. The salad was like a potato salad, served in a short cylinder in the plate's center. The horseradish provided a nice bit of punch to the potato. A+.
> The wine was excellent, the flavors smooth and layers of flavor well-integrated but not closed off. Tasted of cherry, grass, pomegranate, citrus. Medium finish and nice, easy tannins, just enough to cut through the salmon. Easy drinking. I would buy this wine. A.
Lobster Bisque with Crayfish Tartlet
> I asked to sub the bisque for the origial soup, a red pepper and corn soup, as the bisque was on the menu and lobster bisque is my favorite soup. The waiter wasn't sure they could do that, but Chris, an owner, was standing nearby and cheerfully said, "No problem."
> The bisque wasn't bad but it was the low point in the meal. The color was wonderful, a rich earthy brown, the texture was velvety smooth, but the soup tasted like lobster shell and was very salty. The SW tried a spoonful and made the "no" face. She thought it tasted metallic and strange. It was still good enough for me to finish, but I wouldn't order this again. C-.
Frog's Legs, Escargot and Bone Marrow with Grilled Apples, Roasted Garlic, Parsley Nage. Wine: Chateau Lasgoity, Rogue du Val, Madera, 2005.
> I confess, I'm still new to fine dining. I'd never before tasted frog's legs, escargot or marrow, so I decided if these items would be well prepared, it would be here, so I "what the hell"'ed and tried these.
> I now love frog's legs. "Tastes like chicken", errrm, yeah, but IMHO much better than chicken. Sweeter, very tender and with a bit more flavor. I could eat these things by the platter.
> Escargot: I now like escargot, too, although I won't go all fainty over them. They'd been cooked in garlic and butter, wine, and were delicious. I won't be too scared to order them in the future.
> Bone Marrow: Our waiter Jon said people would call Trelio and request this specifically, and many consider marrow a delicacy. It was offered in a 4-5" bone standing upright on the plate and you ate it by digging it out with a spoon or knife. To me, marrow looked and tasted like beef fat. It had a huge beef flavor hit, but the fattiness of its mouthfeel was overwhelming to my virgin palate. I appreciate the opportunity to try this, but marrow's not something I'd order.
> The roasted garlic and apples were full of sweetness and their individual flavors. The apples were chunked and the garlic was whole cloves. The parley nage is a smooth, bright green, pureed sauce that added a nice herbal touch to the dish. A-.
> I forgot to write my notes for the wine, but I remember it was excellent, perfectly chosen. The deep red wine had a powerful, smooth flavor profile, with enough oomph in the tannins to handle the marrow and the butter from the escargot and mushrooms. I would buy this wine. A.
Peach Tart Tatin with Tahitian Vanilla Ice Cream. Wine: Quinta de la Rosa, Ruby Port, Portugal.
> The tatain was fresh from the oven; the peaches ripe and flavorful, nicely carmelized and the crust was crisp but not dry or shattery. The "ice cream" was actually vanilla-infused whipped cream, but was rich, dense and loaded with a pleasant vanilla flavor. Overall the dish was light but not puffy or bland, and really showed off the full flavor of the peach and the vanilla. A.
> The port was very nice, not too sweet or syrupy. I was getting pretty blissed out by now so my notes are sketchy here. I would buy this. A.
We have to limit our Trelio adventures or our budget rolls over and goes "blooey!", but every time so far I've eaten here I've not been disappointed in the food, ambiance or service. Some dishes I liked better than others, but that's life.
If anyone wants to do a Chowdown here, please email me. I'd be happy to organize it.
re: KenWritez
Wonderful report KW!! I have been intending to try Trelio's, but being situated in the Fig Garden area a trek to Clovis is quite a journey sometimes!! Just the mention of bone marrow is enough motivation though. Is the Downtown Club going to reflect the menu (wine and cuisine) of Chris and Mike Shackelford?
re: cocktailqueen77
Chris and the Sturdy Wench talked about this very thing that night. I was happily sipping wine and eating great food, so my main attention was elsewhere. Here's what I remember: The DC serves a broader base of clients than Trelio, so the menu will be likewise broader, and will include some classics like Caesar salad. They will, however, be offering Trelio dishes, too.
However, Chris will be running the place and they are upgrading their facility to attract more business and professional conferences and meetings. They're also putting in some state-of-the-art video conferencing and projection equipment into one room, including a "smart board."
I don't recall anything said about the wine, but given Chris' passion for wine and abilities with same, I bet he'll make the cellar his own.
BTW, the drive from Fig Garden to Clovis isn't as long as you might be afraid. I make that commute at least twice a week, and the fastest, easiest way is simply jump on 41 S to 180 E and then take the 168 to Clovis. Exit @ Herndon, turn right, turn right again on Clovis Ave., it's an easy 1/2 mile drive and then on your right, under the "Clovis: Gateway to the Sierras" sign. Travel time is barely 20 minutes.
I used to live in Waco, TX. It wasn't unusual to drive 100 miles north to Dallas or the same south to Austin for a good dinner, so driving to food is something I'm used to doing.
re: KenWritez
Thanks for the info on the DC. Went to a wedding reception years ago and was not impressed. I'm sure the changes made by Chris will make it stellar!!
Don't get me wrong, BF and I have driven four hours for wonderful dinners before (and stayed overnight close by). It's the whole police and checkpoint fiasco that has taken over Fresno that keeps us to our nearby favorites. Trelio's is on our top priority list, and we are looking forward to it. They are only open for dinner, correct? Wine bar open at three? I heard that the wine bar offers hard to find labels and vintages, plus "cult" wines, is this true?
re: cocktailqueen77
Unless something recently changed they also do lunch. Weekdays only 11:30 to 2.
re: FresnoFacts
I apologize, I meant to add we eat there often enough (lots of times just coffee and a split dessert) that we know their schedule pretty well.
re: cocktailqueen77
Police and checkpoints? I haven't seen more than a few of these in the 4 yrs I've lived here, and each time was on a major holiday. Am I living on the wrong side of the tracks?
We eat there often enough (lots of times just coffee and a split dessert) that we know their schedule pretty well.
The web page contains some outdated information. Call them to confirm times and availability before you show up.
They are *not* open for lunch except for pre-arranged private parties. Dinner Tuesday through Saturday from 5:30 to 9:00. Wine Bar open Tuesday through Saturday, 3:00 to 9:00. Closed Sundays and Mondays. 297-0783.
Their wine list seems quite extensive, featuring varieties and vineyards I'd never heard of, as well as more familiar ones. Chris enjoys talking about wine and he'll happily answer your questions. While they don't serve liquor, they do offer wine cocktails. Their wine margarita is pretty good!
Check out their web site and their dinner menu. (The site hasn't been updated for a bit, so ignore the lunch menu link.) They have small plates at $7-$12 per, so you don't have to drop a wodge of cash to eat there.
re: KenWritez
The area that we live in (Palm and Sierra) has checkpoints very near it every couple of months. The mutiple reasons being is that in the North Pointe shopping center (Palm and Herndon) has three venues that host late-night "club" atmospheres, and the city has caught on to the fact that many people drive from either Tower or the Champlain/Perrin/Fort Washington area on Palm to get back to their respective homes after having a few drinks. So perhaps you do live in an area that is not majorly targeted whereas we do. We like to compliment wine with our meal but don't wish to be penalized if it was only a couple of glasses (and not enough to take away our ability to drive).
Again, thank you for answering my questions on Trelio's!! I look forward to dining there, or perhaps stopping by their wine bar. I did check out the website and, even if it is a bit dated, the menu and prices seem completely outstanding and reasonable. The wine dinners seem intriguing and fun.
re: KenWritez
Ken, do you know when they stopped doing lunch? We're in Old Town frequently for various reasons. It can't have been that long since I walked by there on a weekday and read the lunch board. Or maybe it has and I have just lost track of time.
In terms of police checks, yes on the east side of the metro area too. I've been through a couple in the past 6 months or so. A Clovis PD operation on eastbound Herndon near Villa and a Fresno operation on Nees around Cedar or so.
re: FresnoFacts
Trelio stopped lunches around mid-March or mid-May, IIRC. The owner said they weren't getting the business they required to keep doing lunches and at least break even. Because of its location, you have to go there specifically for Trelio. Very little walk-by traffic.
re: KenWritez
Thanks, May was a busy and stressful month for me so that would make sense that I didn't notice..
Okay, just returned from the Grenache/Syrah/Mourvedre wine dinner at Trelio.
+ The lamb Parmesianna was a thick, juicy lamb patty, 3 1/2 - 4" across, covered in melted mozzarella and parmesan cheese, surrounded by three or four of Trelio's delectable roasted red and green tomatoes in fennel pollen sitting in a small amount of the fettucini. Excellent, very fresh tasting, wonderful lamb flavor in the meat nicely accompanied by the fresh garden tomatoes.
It looked so good, tasted so good, I forgot to take a picture of it and there were no leftovers for a shot. My bad.
Salad? My mouth has never said these words before: The salad was the best I've ever eaten in my life. The peppery greens, coupled with the creamy and mild bleu cheese, added to the fruity grape and finished with the crushed nuts held together in a mouthfeel that was everything good: Creamy, peppery, crunchy, tangy, fruity, pleasantly acidic.
The venison was tender, cooked to rare, yet pleasantly resilient in my mouth, providing excellent "bite." It had no hint of gaminess and compared in texture to the most tender possible beef. The exterior was nicely seared and caramelized and had been dusted with crushed black pepper, so taste of the meat flooded my mouth and the contrast between the meat's interior and exterior provided a marvelous palette for the other meat flavors, as well as those of the puree, squash, blackberries, gastrique.
For dessert, the creamy brie was delicious, surrounded by a shatteringly crisp phylo wrapper. The pistachio butter was terrific: Nutty, smooth, and it perfectly complemented the caramel and the fig.
Photos in order. First the menu card, then the dishes. I'm still learning how to use my camera, so please excuse the uneven photo quality.
I'll have to eat *no* sodium the next day or two to make up for this dinner, but it was worth it.
re: KenWritez
Ken, can you recall the wines served with the meal?
re: PolarBear
I can do better than that. Here's a link to all the wines and their scores.
Our wine, the Zaca Mesa, Z Cuvee, Santa Ynez Valley, 2004, came in 5th overall, but was one of only two wines I scored as "Nearing Perfect," the highest score, so I'm pretty chuffed. :)
Of course, life being what it so often is, my wife scored the wine in the "Other," or lowest category. Go figure. (This isn't uncommon for us; we have nearly opposite tastes in wine and movies. But she lets me stick around anyway. "Comedy relief" she says.)
Tuesday night was the Bordeaux/Meritage Blends Wine Dinner at Trelio. Attendance was good, we tasted 14 wines.
The appetizer was Pate de Campagnia, a satisfying cut of a grainy-style pate capped with several spears of peeled baby asparagus, a dollop of pale yellow cream truffle dressing, and off to the side, a quivering spoonful of garnet-colored port wine-madeira gelee.
This pate's consistency was firm, not mushy, and was a cloud-gray shot through with tiny dark speckles and white pinpoints (cracked pepper and fat, I believe.) The taste was ideal: Rich but not smothering, with an herbal counterpoint to the richness of the pate. The mouthfeel was superior with the firm consistency providing a pleasant texture to the teeth and tongue.
The cream truffle dressing was a miss--bland and no taste of truffles. However, the gelee more than made up for it. I tasted the smoothness of the wine reduction and when coupled with the fattiness of the pate, the two made an incredible combination of fruit and meat, acidity and fat. I could not *not* eat the pate and gelee together.
The asparagus were cooked to a perfect tender crispness and were full of spring vegetable flavor. They almost acted as a salad to the pate, providing a welcome green note. The pate: A.
Next was the creamy golden-colored Butternut Squash Soup w/ Parmesan and Fried Sage. This dish gave me the best quote of the night: "I would crawl on my hands and knees for more."
This soup is one of the best I've ever had in my life, and the best I've ever had at Trelio. The butternut squash flavor was as obvious as a Cadillac driven into a swimming pool. Every spoonful shouted the buttery, mellow squash taste, supported by cream and a bit of butter itself. The tiny sage sprig added a hint of itself into the soup, elusive yet visible on your tongue here and there, providing a whimsical and satisfying touch. A+.
Entree: Cabernet-Braised Lamb Shank w/ Fave Bean-Corn Succotash, Lamb Jus. My first sight of this dish tickled my whimsy and I laughed with pleasure as the wait staff served plates of this to diners. "Lamb with an antenna" is how it looked to me, with the meat base hugging the plate and the single frenched shank bone rising gracefully 10-12" above it.
The lamb was cooked perfectly to medium, falling off the caramel-colored bone and packed with flavor. The taste was mild but not comatose and lamb meat's familiar back-of-the-nose taste was well-served by the fresh garden taste of the succotash. The beans were plump and firm, but not chewy or under-done, and the jus was full-flavored, it brought everyone together under the tent. A.
By now I'd had 14 wine tastings and my notes became increasingly brief, so I apologize to Chef Mike if this last description misses anything.
Port Wine Poached Pear En Croute w/ Roquefort Semifreddo finished us. The pear half, peeled and cored, lay cut side down in a ring of flaky crust and wore a jacket of melted chocolate. Currants in sauce and a tiny mound of the semifreddo rested against the croute. (The semifreddo was a sleeper--apparently some of the diners missed the descriptor "Roquefort" on he menu card and spooned in, expecting vanilla ice cream.)
The sweetness of the pear, chocolate and currants provided an unusual and startling offset to the creamy funk of the Roquefort. I'd never tasted anything like this before. For the first spoonful or two, my tastebuds were locked in the jury room, but by the third, they'd reached a unanimous verdict: Guilty on all counts! Pleasure! Give us more, you idiot!
Our wine, the Donati, came in 8th. However, the Sturdy Wench and I both gave it perfect scores, something unprecedented because she and I have utterly opposite tastes in wine. The nose was luscious with cinnamon, brown sugar, oak, leather. Taste was absolutely smooth, no bumps or dead spots, the flavor layers integrated masterfully. Overall, a bright, charming taste with a smooth, medium finish. I've seen it retailed online for as little as $22 for a 750ml bottle. I'll check prices today for Old Docs, BevMo, Wine Exchange in Orange County, or (my favorite) Red Carpet in Glendale.
Here's the link for the wine tasting results:
The wine dinners at Trelio represent the best examples of Chef Mike Shackleford's cooking. Anyone who loves excellent food will find a happy home here.
Crawfish bread. Seafood gumbo. Pan-seared duck breast. Sous vide chicken breast rubbed with truffle butter. Chocolate-peanut butter souffle.
Those were the prix fixe Mardi Gras menu items last night at Trelio. Yes, they tasted as good as they sound.
The crawfish bread was a narrow sandwich of sliced white French bread with a shredded crawfish salad filling. I was initially disappointed in the size of the offering until Jon, our waiter, explained the the richness of the dishes to follow would be overwhelming if diners filled up on the bread. A-.
Trelio's seafood gumbo was made with a dark, toasted flour and oil roux, almost chocolate in color. Chunks of andouille sausage, chicken, shrimp, blue crab, lobster were plentiful and delicious. A small scoop of long grain dirty rice in the middle of the plate provided a nice visual counterpoint to the dark soup. Looking at my notes, the words I used to describe this dish: Rich, velvety, earthy, smoky but not charred, intensely flavored. The Sturdy Wench looked me in the eye as we finished out soup and said, "Ken, you are NOT allowed to lick the bowl!" Damn! A+.
For the next course, she had the Muscovy duck breast with house-made boudin blanc, slow-braised collard greens in a cane sugar gastrique. I ordered the Mary's Chicken (organic, free range, from Pittman Farms here in the central Valley) which came with the same accompaniaments.
The duck breast was mild, juicy and full of flavor. The chicken was incredibly juicy, perfectly cooked and seasoned, and possessed a nicely crisped skin. The chef had rubbed the whole chicken with butter and slid sliced truffles under the skin, which gave the meat an rich and intense flavor I've never had in chicken before. A+
Neither the Sturdy Wench nor I had had boudin blanc before. It was a white sausage, made from ground chicken and breadcrumbs. The texture was unexpectedly soft, almost like mashed potato in a casing. It took me a few bites to accustom myself to it, but it tasted of chicken and spices and herbs. I won't grade this because I've never had boudin blanc before so it's not fair to judge it, other than to say I'd eat it again but not travel for it.
The collard greens were excellent, still possessing that earthy green flavor and they were overcoated with the gastrique which provided a nice sweet complement flavor. A.
Dessert was a small chocolate-peanut butter souffle with a warm rum anglaise sauce. This was ideal: Soft, bready, crispy on top, thick with flavors of peanut butter and chocolate, and dotted throughout some chopped nuts (couldn't tell what type) and all served piping hot in the middle. This was comfort food to beat comfort food. A+.
#1 - Ladle bouquet! My birthday gift from the lovely Sturdy Wench. Earlier I'd been stomping around the kitchen, waving my arms and ranting about the lack of available when-I-want-them ladles, and she decided to pour ladles on troubled waters. Behold! A++
#2 - Gumbo!
#3 - The sous vide chicken breast with truffles, collard greens and boudin blanc. There was also a schmear of mashed sweet potato, which provided a visually interesting element to plate and was darn yummy!
#4 - I told you the soup was good!
(My picture of the dessert come out poorly so I'm not posting it.)
re: KenWritez
Just to put an exclamation point to KW's reviews of Trelio and Shackleford's virtuosity, Joan Obra wrote a heartfelt story today in the Bee - here is the link for you hounds who missed it - got to read it. Bravo Cshack.
The Sturdy Wench and I ate dinner at Trelio last night.
Currently Chef Mike is serving a classic French onion soup that , in my shy, understated, coyly-digging-my-toe-in-the-dirt way, I'll say will make you want to be a better person just to justify your proximity to this soup. Rich, oniony, beefy, with a crisp floating crouton of cheesy baguette, it is a soup I would willingly free fall off a helicopter into 100 gallons of.
I really liked the soup. If you try it (and it's served only in the winter), I think you will, too.
The SW had the hog chop, I had the Mary's chicken breast. I've written often enough about Trelio I don't need to bang its drum yet again, so I'll simply say both meals were outstanding in every aspect. (The smoked gouda cheese grits served with the pork was a good as it sounds.)

This is such an excellent recipe, easy to make, and loaded with flavor. When I first made it I didn't have some items so I substituted for Feta Cheese instead of what it calls for originally and I omitted the red onions. For the dressing I added 1/4 cup of kalamata olive juice and used Pomegranate Red Vine Vinegar. I try to make it as much as possible so people can experience this delight!
Orzo-Bell Pepper Salad
Karry Hosford
Blanching the bell peppers for a few seconds tenderizes them while maintaining their delightful crunch. The marinated cheese provides a shortcut for adding more flavor.

Look who we meet again
"Mom! I-I can explain.."
"Its great you have friends, but why arent you at school?" She looked at his black eye and bloody nose "Oh my God, you got in a FIGHT?!"
Jared nodded
"Mister, this is not acceptable! And look at the mess youve made! The Way's are going have to clean this up when they get back from work"
Gerard interupted "Um, me and Mikeys parents arent gonna be here 'till Wednesday"
Mrs Carter started up again "Well then, Jared can help you clean it all up. Your mother and father would not be proud, young men!" Gerard, Jared and Mikey started getting wipes and mops. "And you Ray!" He also got to work. She looked at me, with a sympathetic face on "And, Robyn, is it, if you made this you better get it tided too"
After the kitchen was spotless, Jared's mom marched him out of the house, and told Ray he should go home. Though she had no right to boss us around, we all did as she commanded. As the door shut, me and the brothers started laughing.
"She got a little worked up!" I giggled
"Understatement of the centuary!" Mikey replied.
The next day we still went to the mall. Even ifeveryone who would be bothered now knew, there was no point lounging around at home all day. Of course, Jared wasnt allowed out though. As we set out on the street, I saw him staring out of the window, longing to be with us.
"Well shoot, I forgot money" Gerard literally face palmed. Mikey copied, realising he forgot some dosh too.
"No worries" Ray took a wad of notes and a credit card out of his pocket. We gazed in awe. "300 bucks and around 800 on the card"
"I didnt know you were so rich!" Mikey punched him in the shoulder.
"Hmm" Ray rolled his eyes. I think he was keeping a little secret of his own. I didnt want to start any drama so I ignored it.
I hadnt been to the mall recentley, and there were loads of new shops. Including Hot Topic. Like a little girl infront of a candy shop, I ran inside. My eyes widened at the rack of t-shirts. Escape the Fate, Black Veil Brides, Paramore, Shane Dawson, CupOfTeam, Nerimon, Charlieissocoollike, Doctor Who, Family Guy....I couldnt choose. "Ray, can I have some mon---" I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around to see Aaron.
"We meet again"

Citizen Architect: Samuel Mockbee and the Spirit of the Rural Studio
This weekend, grab a bowl of popcorn, pop in Citizen Architect and park it on the couch for a couple hours – you won't regret it.
Citizen Architect is a documentary film on the late architect Samuel Mockbee and the radical educational design/build program known as the Rural Studio.
Hale County, Alabama is home to some of the most impoverished communities in the United States. It is also home to Auburn University's Rural Studio, one of the most prolific and inspirational design-build outreach programs ever established. Citizen Architect is a documentary film chronicling the late Samuel Mockbee, artist, architect, educator and founder of the Rural Studio.
Citizen Architect explores Mockbee's effort to provide students with an experience that forever inspires them to consider how they can use their skills to better their communities. Revealing the philosophy and heart behind the Rural Studio, the documentary is guided by passionate, frank and never-before-seen interviews with Mockbee himself.

The Rural Studio, located deep in the heart of Hale County Alabama, is currently accepting applications for their Outreach Program. Auburn University Rural Studio's Outreach Program was designed as a way to bring students and collaborators from outside Auburn University into the fold of the Studio. Since its establishment in 1999, the Outreach program has evolved from often individualized, community-driven projects to a single team project: the 20K House.
One of the most challenging of all Rural Studio projects, the 20K house seeks to provide a well-built, affordable housing alternative to the ubiquitous mobile home for local clients. The homes are built for $20,000 where around $12,000 is allocated for materials and the remaining $8,000 would cover labor costs and contractor profit. Unlike other Rural Studio projects, the aim of the $20K House is to create a line of homes which could be built by contractors and have a greater impact on local communities.
Approximately 4 positions are available each year, and the program year is August through May/June ($6,000/semester). Applications are due on April 15, 2012 (for the 2012-2013 school year). To apply, please visit the Rural Studio Outreach page and click Outreach Application PDF (in the middle of the page) to download an application. For questions, please contact us at email@example.com or call 334.624.4483
To learn more about the Rural Studio, we suggest watching Citizen Architect, and reading Rural Studio: Samuel Mockbee and an Architecture of Decency and Proceed and Be Bold: Rural Studio After Samuel Mockbee.

Lessons from the Front Lines of Social Design
A fellow Rural Studio participant Will Holman wrote this in-depth evaluation for Design Oberservor's Places blog of his time with Arcosanti, Rural Studio, and YouthBuild (via HERO).
Look out for the mention of Epicenter along with a rendering for Bear's House.
Will's observations based through experience are certainly representative of this certain generation of architects and designers searching for a life working for a greater good while still being able to "make a living and advance professionally."
We're honored to be mentioned alongside Rural Studio, Arcosanti, HERO, & Project H. Here's to "long-term engagement" and "unpaid idealists"!

Grand Canyon Air-tour Recommendations Issued
Last week the NTSB issued several safety recommendations stemming from the Sept. 20, 2003 crash of a Sundance Helicopters Eurocopter AS 350BA into a canyon wall in the Grand Canyon, killing the pilot and all six passengers. According to the Safety Board, the pilot disregarded safe flying procedures and misjudged the helicopter's proximity to terrain. As a result, the NTSB wants the FAA to require periodic en route surveillance of all repetitively flown commercial air-tour routes in the Grand Canyon area; to compel commercial air-tour operators to maintain records of all safety-related complaints regarding pilot performance; to require commercial air-tour operators to maintain passenger names and contact information for at least 30 days; and to encourage commercial air-tour operators to establish a structured flight operations monitoring program. Additionally, the Board is recommending that the Tour Operators Program of Safety expand the safety audit program to include a review of safety-related complaints, en route surveillance of air-tour routes in the Grand Canyon area and revised guidance materials with a clear definition of "air tour flight."

When work is created by students, who owns the copyright, the student or the educational establishment?
There is nothing in the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 which relates specifically to ownership of copyright in works created by students. Therefore, the normal rules of ownership will apply as outlined in sections 9-11 of the Act (1.53Mb).
The pupil is not an employee of the school so this rule should not pertain, and a teacher/lecturer should not be able to claim joint ownership on a student's work unless their contribution is equal to that of the student (this may occasionally occur with primary school children, where a teacher's involvement with a pupil's work would usually be more considerable than the interaction with an A-level student).
However, some Universities and Colleges may ask that the students assign their copyright over to the establishment when enrolling. Alternatively, the establishment might extract a royalty free licence of any works created as a condition of enrolment. but in the absence of any such contract, the copyright would remain with the creator.
There are a number of exceptions in the Act which apply to Education however, and depending on the exact use you wish to make of the works in question, you may not need the copyright owner's permission.
The research and private study exception, covered in Section 29 of the Act, allows "fair dealing" with literary, dramatic, musical and artistic works for the purposes of research or private study (provided it is for a non-commercial purpose and is supported by a sufficient acknowledgement).
Section 32 of the Act applies to schools, universities and other educational establishments and allows limited copying of a literary, dramatic, musical or artistic work in the course of teaching as long as a reprographic process is not used (reprographic process means using a fax machine, photocopier or any appliance which makes multiple copies). The exception also provides that it is not an infringement of copyright to do anything for the purposes of setting or answering examination questions or communicating these to the candidates (this does not include photocopying music that is to be performed in an exam).
Section 34 may also be relevant where the work is one which can be performed (for example a piece of music written by a student). This exception permits that where the work is performed before an audience consisting of teachers and pupils in the course of the activities at the educational establishment, then it is not a public performance for the purposes of infringement of copyright.
In conclusion, while we can explain the provisions in the copyright act, each case in the real world has to be considered on its own merits and as such, only a Court can rule with certainty as to how the provisions apply. For further clarity on this issue, you may wish to seek advice from a Solicitor.

POTD: Evangeline Lilly Shares Her 'Ant-Man' Look, Suggests Wasp Appearance
Posted on Thursday, August 21st, 2014 by Russ Fischer
The first look at Paul Rudd in Ant-Man didn't show us much, and this image of Evangeline Lilly suggests a lot more than it actually reveals.
Lilly plays Hope Van Dyne in the film — that's the daughter of Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) and Janet Van Dyne (above). We know that Janet isn't in the film much, if at all. (But she may not actually be dead, counter to many assumptions.) That has led to assumption that Evangeline Lilly will take the superhero role normally associated with Janet: the Wasp. Images posted by the actress show that she's got part of the character's look down pat, at the very least. Read More »

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
….not even close.
I am not really good at anything and most of the time I feel like my existence is just silly because I don't do much. But tonight while feeling the genuine joy of having something good happen with a band I love (five iron frenzy got back together, actually announced about 3 weeks ago but I hadn't bothered to verify) I feel human. The fact that I as a teenager in my basement can feel an excitement about such an event and know that there are people in their 30s living all around the world feeling the same joy I feel makes me feel like I am somehow fundamentally connected to the human race. I am a part of something bigger than myself, of a joy bigger than myself, and for just one moment I am significant. I am part of the world and right now nothing, not even my own self loathing, can take that away from me. A little part of me matters and this little part of me connects me to the human race. I am connected and I am reminded how amazing it is to be a nerd, a nerd who can unironically jump up and down love stuff. I Love Five Iron Frenzy!

A grand jury on Wednesday indicted a man on two counts of murder in connection with the killing of two men in Central Falls.
Pedro Lopez, 19, is scheduled to be arraigned in Providence Superior Court on Dec. 4.
Lopez is accused of killing Malcolm Townes and Nathan Lewis at the end of June.
The bodies of the two men were found on the third floor of an apartment on Sylvian Street.
Arthur Messier lived across the street from the apartment building.
He told NBC 10 on July 4 that he heard two gun shots on the day that investigators believe Townes and Lewis were killed. He said he saw people driving away from the building but didn't call police because he doesn't have the best relationship with officers.
Lopez was also charged with possession of a stolen vehicle.

My company is finally getting around to upgrading to AutoCAD 2011 (from 2005). We use custom VB code to extract data from specific attributed blocks from dwgs. I started investigating using the DataExtraction API for .NET and I seem to have found a limitation to the API as well as the dataextraction built in AutoCAD functionality.
Here is the issue:
If I create an mleader style with "Mleader type' 'Content' type as 'Block' and select the 'Source block' as the attributed block I was to embed in the mleader, then the dataextraction command can successfully extract the attribute data I am looking for.
If however I do not create a new mleader style and say the default 'Standard' mleader style (which has its 'Mleader type' 'Content' type as 'Mtext' - the default) is the current one in the dwg. Then if I type in at the command line 'mleader' and change the content type to 'Block' and provide the attributed block name here, the dataextraction command does not find these blocks. It appears if you override the Mleader style value at the command line the dataextraction API does not recognize this mleader as having an embedded attributed block.
This is a serious problem since there is no way to prevent a user from manually setting the Content type and creating an mleader that looks and behaves exactly like all other mleaders that have not overridden the mleader style. There is a real danger of missing extraction of some data.
Has anyone out there notice this and more importantly, have a solution or point me to the error of my ways?
I've attaced a dwg (2010) and a dxe extraction template, though this can be reproduced (I'm assuming) by using your own attributed block with or without the dxe file.
