Date night within 15-20 minute drive of Como Park
- c
- cheese_please Feb 11, 2013 06:36 PM
My husband and I have two kids, and no family in the area, so we don't get out by ourselves very often. However, we have someone to watch the kids on Saturday, Feb 16. Since it's Valentine's weekend, I want to go ahead and make reservations somewhere.
I'd like to find somewhere...
*within a 15-20 minute drive (we live close to the State Fair Grounds)
*not completely booked for V-day weekend (we'll be eating around 5:30, so hopefully that will help)
*not a chain
*not a lot of kids
*reasonably priced ($15-$25/basic entrees)
The last place we went was Salut on Grand. We both enjoyed it, but would like to try someplace new.
I think Ngon Vietnamese Bistro (www.ngonbistro.com) would be a great choice. The menu has both a "traditional" (ie. Vietnamese) section as well as an Western/Asian fusion type menu. All dishes I have had have been excellent it is a great value for some seriously chow-worthy food.
Very nice atmosphere and service too. Make sure you have the rabbit dumpling appetizer.
+1 on Ngon. It was the first place that came to mind before I scrolled down and saw that Dale beat me to it. I will also echo that you'll like the atmosphere for date night. Better than the atmosphere at Salut.
re: mitch cumstein
Someone needs to explain the Strip Club to me. I don't get it. I had a mediocre, and really expensive meal there. Service was indifferent and the space not all that cozy. Why do you like it so much?
re: rockyd
For the OP, if they like Salut, I would say that Strip Club is in the vein of meat and potatoes, like Salut.
I sit at the bar at the strip club, so service is right in front of me and I never write a place off after just 1 meal. but it does have higher priced stuff on the menu, but meat (especially pasture raised meat) costs what it costs.
+ 1 for Ngon, but also since you are going so early, lots of options in my mind.
-Muffuletta (the only Parsole place I like)
-Cafe Biaggio-on University (generally quiet on the weekend, at that time you might be alone.)
-Craftsman (might be 25 minutes and little pricey, depends how you order-but I love the space and feel is quiet and adult)
Also look at the places along Selby and Dale/Western (La Grolla, kind of sweet space, or Moscow on the Hill (never been.)
re: rockyd
How is the craftsman pricey? Every dish but 1 is below $25.
re: mitch cumstein
Not to quibble, but per their latest online menu, 5 out of 9 entrees is 25 or higher. I guess the economy is on the mend! Yes, they do have also have "sandwich" items on the menu.
re: dalewest
jeezus. this is the most frugal market I have ever seen. quibble away for a f'ing dollar that you would save on the not having to pay valet, or park in a ramp. Count your blessings minneapolis, so many CHEAP restaurants for the quality of food you get. Craftsman serves high quality ingredients with a not enormous portion size...but responsible for the cost of the ingredient. Go to manny's for "fine dining" then if you want mediocre waxy meat and a few pounds of starch.
re: mitch cumstein
Lighten up Mitch.
I live in the neighborhood and eat there at least three times a month. Its still a great value for excellent food. I was just pointing out for the readers' benefit that your numbers might be a little outdated.
re: dalewest
Sorry, Dale. I'm a little sensitive on the price thing, but thanks for clarifying the info for the op....
As Mitch mentions, just about everywhere is within 15-20 minute drive. Are you specifically seeking "Date Night" promotions?
Ristorante Luci is nice for low-key, romantic Italian - nothing groundbreaking, but it's solid. On Randolph at Cleveland in St. Paul. Quite romantic and intimate - and you should be ok getting a 5:30 reservation, I should think. One caveat - the tables are a bit close together for my taste.
re: gildeddawn
Luci also has a sister restaurant across the street that offers a little more space and creativity in their cooking if that is what you are after. It's called Luci Ancora. It's also romantic, but in a more modern vein vs the old-school original.
Colossal Cafe on Como. They have a special Valentine's Day menu through Saturday. We were there for NYE and enjoyed the special menu. This one is different and sounds even better. The service is consistently excellent.
With such a consensus, we're going to give Ngon a try. I just made reservations.
Do they have good desserts at Ngon? Or is there a place within a short walk/drive that you would recommend for post-dinner dessert? (Alcohol isn't important at the moment, since I'm expecting baby #3.)
re: cheese_please
I don't recall ever having ordered dessert at Ngon. But I feel confident in saying they are probably good. A short walk would be to Homi, at the SW corner of University and Victoria, next to Best Steak House. You'll be taking a large step down in terms of atmosphere, but the food is fantastic. They will have authentic Mexican desserts.
Heading straight south on Victoria, you'd reach Cafe Latte at Victoria and Grand in about 5 minutes (no traffic lights crossing over I-94). Lots of dessert options, as I'm sure you know. Parking can be a PITA with that option (especially on a Saturday night).
re: cheese_please
There's always ice cream at Izzy's on Marshall.
re: shoo bee doo
A hearty +1 for dessert at Izzy's after dinner at Ngon. If I were pregnant, I would INSIST on Izzy's ice cream for dessert. (I'm not, and I do anyway.)
Important tip: Ask for tastes before you decide on your main scoop and your Izzy scoop. I've topped out at 5 tastes, but have never known them to set a limit on how many tastes you can have before you decide on your cone.
Have a lovely date night!
re: cheese_please
I don't see any desserts listed on their dinner menu right now, but surely they still offer dessert!?! Maybe they just don't have the dessert menu online right now?
ANYWAY, when Ngon first opened, a small group of us went to Ngon and ordered, among other things of course, every dessert from their menu. Here's an excerpt from and link to my post from back then:
"We also ordered all the desserts that were available (alas, they were out of the Vietnamese Coffee Cake):
-chocolate cheese cake with mong bean
-vanilla cheese cake with mong bean
-ginger creme brulee
(I see according to their dessert menu online they also offer a chocolate molten won ton--they didn't offer that last night! But, if they did, we would have ordered it, too!)"
I remember really loving the mung bean cheese cakes --the vanilla was my fav, I think. The ginger creme brulee was nice, too.
Izzy's or Caffe Latte are also both lovely options, of course.
Have a terrific time. And next time you have a date night, you might consider Joans in the Park on Snelling, a few blocks south of Randolph. I've not had great experiences at Ristorante Luci, but Luci Ancora isn't bad. Brasa (on Grand) is fantastic, too, though I wouldn't necessarily recommend it (or Salut, which is a local chain) for date night simply because those are places I recommend as kid-friendly! Nevertheless, I would never hesitate to dine at Brasa. Scusi on St. Clair might also be a good choice--I've not seen kids in the wine bar there.
re: The Dairy Queen
Joan's in the Park is over their $15 - 25 price range.
A visit to Izzy's could blow their evenings budget out of the water. Izzy's is quite expensive (they don't list prices on their website, always a warning sign).
Cafe Latte has great desserts, but Shish (also on Grand) is a great back up. You get a slab of a slice of cake.
Ngon's desserts are fine. Not bad, not great. I had creme brulee and a molten spicy cake there.
re: american_idle
Wow, you're right about Joan's prices. I don't remember them being that high, but it's probably been a year since I've had dinner there. I wonder if the prices have gone up or if I am misremembering. Nevertheless, on the current menu there's only one entree in the OP's range. Normally (and more recently than my most recent dinner there) I do salads, flatbreads, and appetizers there. Not out of cost-consciousness, but just because that's what appeals to me on their menu. And it's quite affordable. Thanks for catching that.
I'm not really sure I agree that Izzy's is going to blow their budget, though. Izzy's has a few sizes. Or you can share (it's Valentine's Day afterall) or get an Izzy's pop. The OP hasn't really set a budget for dessert for us and I think Izzy's is reasonably-priced.
Shish isn't bad. Parking is kind of a pain there.
re: The Dairy Queen
The desserts I've had at Ngon were excellent. I remember a take on coffee cake that was based on Vietnamese iced coffee flavors. Fantastic. I don't know what the offerings are now. If they don't appeal, Izzy's is a great option.
re: cheese_please
Yes, they've got great desserts at Ngon. The ginger creme brulee is one of my favorites, and my partner has had a poached pear that she loved. They also have nice dessert wines if your husband is interested in that sort of thing.

Turn up the H.E.A.T.(Help Eliminate Auto Theft). If you have information regarding a stolen vehicle, suspected car thieves or chop shop activities, please call our anonymous tip line at 574-LMPD (5673).Several crimes in our community involve thefts from automobiles. Automobiles involve target opportunities for criminals as vehicles are relatively easy to get into by even the most inexperienced criminal.You will have to make a conscious decision that you are going to do everything in your power to stop your vehicle from being broken into. As demonstrated by the photograph, simply locking your vehicle is not enough. A glass window is not going to keep a criminal, desperate for cash, away from your GPS, cell phone or other valuables left in plain view inside your vehicle.First Step - Locking your vehicle is essential. If a criminal has to choose between a door that is locked and one that is unlocked, he/she is going to go the the unlocked vehicular door. Unfortunately, people who routinely commit thefts from automobiles typically do not have to look very long. Approximately half of reported thefts from automobiles in your community involve a vehicle that was left unlocked. Leaving unlocked vehicles at service stations is another bad example of making yourself a target for a crime, especially if the vehicle is left running.Second Step - Leaving a vehicle running at your home, or even for a quick stop, is not only a bad idea, as experienced criminals typically profile this type of activity, but it is also against the law. It is not uncommon for teams of would-be car thieves to patrol through neighborhoods or stake out convenient stores, looking for running, unlocked or unattended vehicles. Your vehicle is ready to be driven away with your personal affects, even your identity, which could costs you thousands of dollars in the future.Step Three - You can minimize your chances of being a victim of a theft from your automobile by taking your valuables, or any sign of valuables, inside or locking them in the trunk. In addition to removing your GPS system or cell phone, you should also take, or at least conceal, chargers and mounts which serve as tell-tale signs that these items are sometimes in your vehicle. Someone could break into your vehicle on the chance that items that go with the mounts or chargers are simply out of view. They could also keep an eye on your vehicle and try to target you at a later date when the items are left in the vehicle. Again, a locked door and a glass window will not keep someone from getting to your valuables.Removing electronics or other valuables every time you leave your vehicle is an inconvenience, but you will have to take extra steps to be extra safe. Practicing diligence is a sure way to begin making your home and personal property safer. When you look into your vehicle, you may see a GPS system, Blackberry, personal computer or any number of today's gadgets designed to make your life easier. A criminal sees only one thing - MONEY. On that note, leaving any amount of money in your vehicle eliminates one more thing a criminal has to do to get the money he/she needs (i.e. selling your stuff) to someone for about a quarter of its actual value. Even in a crowded area, a thief can be in and out of your vehicle before anyone realizes what has happened, that is until you come back to your vehicle and realize you have been the victim of a crime.Lastly, leaving a garage door opener inside your car is an invitation for a criminal to gain access to your garage and even your home. Police have responded to burglaries that originated by the burglar gaining access to a locked home via the garage door opener left in the unlocked vehicle. It may take some time to get into the habit of not making your car a target, but your property and, more importantly your safety, may depend on it.For more information on auto thefts, click on one of the links below:Tips on Preventing Auto Theft and Theft from Auto Spotting Stolen Automobiles Personal Safety in your Car Helping Police Recover your Stolen Vehicle Anti-Theft Devices For more information on preventing auto theft, please visit the following websites: National Insurance Crime Bureau Watch Your Car

Prevention works. That's the basis of treating most high cholesterol and lipid disorders. Healthy lifestyle choices can prevent high cholesterol and controlling lipid abnormalities can prevent serious heart and vascular disease. Not every treatment works for every patient, so our preventive cardiology and lipid therapy experts use national, evidence-based guidelines to find the best approach for each patient. Two common treatment approaches are preventive cardiology and lifestyle changes, and medications and optimal medical therapy (OMT).
Not smoking, maintaining a healthy weight and a healthy diet, and getting regular exercise can all help prevent some lipid disorders. Treating and controlling other underlying diseases can also help prevent abnormal lipid levels. We work with nutritionists and other medical professionals to help our patients develop healthier habits.
Lifestyle changes aren't always possible or practical for all patients with lipid abnormalities. Medications, such as statins, are effective in lowering cholesterol levels for many patients. Other medications, including bile acid sequestrants, cholesterol absorption inhibitors, fibric acid derivatives, and niacin can also help control lipid levels. Every medication has its own risks and benefits. We work closely with our patients to ensure their therapy is working and to adjust statins and other medications as necessary.

Nobody beats Nick Vivid.
Nick is quite probably the finest producer I\'ve had the pleasure of working with. He is professional and patient, and you can tell that he\'s passionate about about his craft. He\'ll work with you to find the sound you want on every single song. He\'s very technically skilled, but also has something you can\'t necessarily teach - an incredibly keen ear, and a sense of what things should sound like it. We recorded our last EP with Nick, and we\'re looking forward to working with him again!
-Brian \"Chinatown\" Jackson, World War IX
Simply The Best
Clever, enthusiastic, attention to detail and forthcoming are a few of the immediate words that come to mind when the name Nick Vivid is mentioned.
I have worked with Nick since 2010 and was super psyched to hear that he opened his own studio!
If you are looking for the best at the best price look no further you have found it!!!
-Lyz Manikas, Candy Apple Red Productions
Great Experience
Nick is the best at listening to bands and really helping them nail the sound that they are looking for. He never rushes you, and it is rare to find an engineer/producer who is more of a perfectionist than you are about your songs. Overall, an awesome experience, and well worth it to work with Nick.
-Dave Harrison, The Mess Around
Kick ass!
Nick has a great little recording studio and set up, great rates and incredible know how go along way. Always pleased with the work Nick does and he\'s great for gear repair as well!
Great job on our 7"
Nick was awesome throughout the whole recording process. He helped us out when we were stuck and pushed us to make the 7" better. He's also very flexible and works tirelessly to get the best.
Recording with Nick Vivid was the best move my group could have made. He has a holistic approach to the recording process that gave every instrument a voice and every track it's own stamp on the EP he helped us create. His technical know-how, patience, and musical intuition made it a great experience.
Nick Vivid is a professional, plain and simple. He knows what sounds good, and he actually knows how to use all those fucking knobs and switches. The man has infinite patience and a golden ear.
Recording at Nick Vivid's was nothing less than an excellent experience! The atmosphere is laid back yet full on professional. As an engineer, Nick's command of the studio's KILLER gear is astonishing. And since he himself is a rock god, his input on producing and song structure is always enlightening and helpful.
His pricing method of paying per song, and not by the hour is key to maximizing the creative process. There's no clock watching shenanigans to deal with here! Also, on a side note, the L.E.S. location can't be beat!
-Justin Melkmann- World War IX
Great to work with
Nick's great to work with, especially because he's a musician. He thoroughly understands the demands of players, and delivers on it quickly and efficiently.

make sure your start weight in settings is up to date
This happened to a couple of people and it is because they had not updated their start weight so it wasn't showing

tools > tickers > update weight data
failing that
my home > check in > edit previous entries
the badge on "my home" and ticker are DUMB tools... they compare solely your starting weight to your current weight... so if you started at 150, gained to 160 and lost back to 151... you and I know that's a 9 lb loss but to the system you're 1 lb heavier than when you started so there is no loss... without updating your start weight..
Sometimes it's due to the "place-holder" weight you entered when you guessed weight to sign up for MFP and then saw your actual weight at first weigh in was higher..."starting weight" is the first weight you entered on using MFP.

|Patterns of Use and Patient Satisfaction with Breast Reconstruction among Obese Patients: Results from a Population-Based Study.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22495206 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|BACKGROUND:: The national obesity epidemic is contributing to an increased proportion of overweight and obese breast cancer patients. Little is known about use of breast reconstruction among the obese, possible access barriers to reconstruction, and patient satisfaction. Our purpose was to determine if patterns of use and outcomes of reconstruction differed among obese and non-obese breast cancer patients. METHODS:: We performed a 5-year follow-up survey of mastectomy-treated breast cancer patients from the Los Angeles and Detroit SEER Cancer Registries (response rate 59%). Patients were divided into three body-mass index (BMI) categories: normal weight (BMI<25), overweight (BMI 25-30), and obese (BMI>30). The outcomes of interest were receipt of reconstruction, type and timing of reconstruction, access barriers, and satisfaction with the surgical decision and outcome. Chi-square and students t-test were used for analysis, and logistic regression was used to identify predictors of autologous reconstruction. RESULTS:: Of 374 mastectomy-treated patients, receipt of reconstruction did not vary by BMI (53% normal weight, 48% overweight, and 45% obese, p=0.43). Receipt did vary by type of reconstruction: significantly more obese patients received TRAM flaps vs. normal weight patients (53% vs. 26%, p=0.01). No specific access barriers to reconstruction were identified and patient satisfaction with surgical decision-making and surgical outcomes was similar across BMI categories. CONCLUSION:: Obese compared to normal weight breast cancer patients have similar use of breast reconstruction, are more likely to receive an autologous procedure, and report similar satisfaction with surgical outcomes. Future efforts should be directed at decreasing the surgical risk in this more challenging patient population. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE:: II.

BWAHAHA! Munch on your grass in fear, druids, as you are turned into SHEEP! No longer shall we cower in fear of your ability to roll immense amounts of hots and shapeshift out of our roots. Now you tall ones shall feel the pain in 4.0. Previously named Cataclysm, this expansion is now known as...
Carbon Emissions: A CO2 Problem.
From a fair bit of the population of the world now becoming sheepable, carbon emissions have been raised substantially. You heroes of the Alliance and Horde must find an eco-friendly way to handle the CO2 gas that will DESTROY THE WORLD.

Some Lochcarron & Wester Ross links
Last updated, with new entries added, May 2013
Lochcarron is a small village community (population about 920) in the Northwest Highlands of Scotland. It lies in the heart of an area traditionally known as Wester Ross, one of the wildest and most beautiful regions of the British Isles, and an area exceptionally rich in its biodiversity. The village nestles at the head of a deep sea loch, between the spectacular Torridon and Kintail mountain ranges. The nearest towns of some size are Inverness (63 miles) or Fort William (82 miles). The nearest train station is Strathcarron, on the famous Kyle line, one of Britain's most scenic railways.

Camusaluinn Self Catering Holiday Cottage
The Ceilidh Place Hotel is some distance away from Lochcarron, but if you are heading further up north, towards Ullapool and Sutherland, this is definitely the place to stay. Recently, and deservedly, voted as the best hotel in the "Good for the Soul" category in the 2005 Hotel Review Scotland awards (see http://www.hotelreviewscotland.com/hotel.asp?id=22 ), the Ceilidh* Place describes itself as "a hotel in Ullapool at the end of the A835 and the centre of the universe." And it is a bit more too: unpretentious, laid-back yet homely, it is a meeting place for good food and drink (the cooking is wholesome and imaginative), good conversation, singing and dancing, and the hotel also houses what is probably the best bookshop in the West Highlands. It was started in 1970 as a small café at Broomview Cottage in West Argyle Street, by late Robert Urquhart, who was born there in 1921. That is where it is still today, but over the years has grown into this rather unique establishment. The hotel offers 13 rooms, as well as accommodation in an inexpensive bunkhouse. Each of the rooms is named in honour of a contemporary Scottish writer, and an eclectic selection of books can be found in each of the rooms. You can browse the list of books on the website.
*What is a Ceilidh?
Pronounced "Kay-lee", it derives from the Gaelic word meaning "a visit"; but it can also mean a party, a concert, an event with music, dance, poetry and story-telling, or, more commonly, an evening of Scottish folk music and traditional dancing.

The West Highland Free Press was founded in

providing its immediate circulation area with the service which a local
paper is expected to provide. The land issue is at the heart of the
Free Press's politicsm, and the paper actively opposes the still unequal
distribution of land ownership, and aims to stand up for the rights of local
communities and individuals. The Free Press has also actively
championed the cause of the Gaelic language, both by giving it political
support and also by publishing more written Gaelic material than any other
newspaper. Published each Thursday from Broadford on the Isle of Skye, The
West Highland Free Press is available extensively within the West
Highlands and Islands of Scotland.

How To Make A Girl Squirt
this is something that all men should get to know very well.
Originally posted on Better Sex, Better Life:
Women love the pleasure that they get from sex, but many don't often get enough. If you can learn how to make a girl squirt, you can easily give her the best pleasure of her life. Take a minute to think about the best orgasm that you've ever had then times this by 100. For a woman, a squirting orgasm is like that and sometimes even more so. Of course, getting this kind of reaction isn't as easy as it is for men and requires some careful attention and a focus on what you are doing.
Before you can learn how to make a girl squirt, you have to know what you're working with. A woman's g spot is the key to success with this move and you have to find it. If you take a finger or two and slide it inside her vagina a couple of inches, facing…

I was one of these little girls. I very vividly remember not having a word to express that part of my body and it being shrouded in discomfort.

Um, no offense, but do you play a drood? coz its not looking "nice" from here!
We've got some ok pvp buffs, (which arent great for pve,) which might help us when we're getting nailed by diseases and HoT eating talents of DKs, oh wait, no they wont.
Typhoon is less than impressive due to the way it animates then work, allowing mages to toast us before they get knocked back. Starfall was nice, but if its more expensive then it really removes its long term usage viability.
They've made moonkin and tree of life cheaper (finally), and reduced our new AoE heal by 100 or so mana, and reduced the heal done by more than half.
And primal tenacity gets changed back to its old lackluster self. Oh and we get to pull a whole 6 yards further.
Looking back to BC, druids saw some great new changes, with mangle, tree of life and force of nature.
Looking forward to WotLK, theres nothing that makes me think "great! my druid's staying as my main, and i can stop levelling my pally whilst i wait for a DK".

Make Peace with Your Mom
- Thursday, February 15, 2007
Be patient; don't expect your mom to respond to your questions immediately. If your mom tries to argue with you, be calm, definite, positive, and persistent. Simply repeat what you have to say in a respectful tone of voice until she begins to listen to you. If your mom is determined not to change, choose to accept that and be creative about setting healthy boundaries in your relationship with her. As you discuss hot-button issues between the two of you, remember that both you and your mom's perspectives are valid. Honestly try to learn what you can from her point of view. Have the courage to fully express yourself, no matter how she responds, so you don't have to regret your silence later. Get whatever is bothering you out into the open so you both can deal with it. Always keep in mind that peace and joy together are possible if you're both willing to make the effort.

LOS ANGELES Signs that scrap prices are losing steam, combined with a continued lag in structural steel demand, have some steel buyers altering their outlook for wide-flange beams.
"A month ago, everyone was expecting things to improve pricewise," a southeastern distributor said. "Now, that isnt necessarily the case."
Major structural producersfollowing a $52-per-ton boost early this month in AMMs consumer buying price for shredded automotive scrap in the Chicago market, the basis for many mills surchargeshave raised their published transaction prices on wide-flange beams by $35 per ton to $780 per ton ($39 per hundredweight) f.o.b. mill on most core sizes (amm.com, Nov. 19).
The new price was due to become effective with shipments ranging from Nov. 12 to Dec. 1, depending on the producer, and under normal demand conditions would already be in effect. But buyers have, nevertheless, continued to order material off mill floor stocks at pre-price-increase levels.
"We put some orders in this week for November shipment," one service center buyer said.
While expectations among buyers until recently were for scrap tags to continue rising over the next few months, that outlook appears to be changing with indications that the scrap market is losing steam. Portland, Ore.-based recycler Schnitzer Steel Industries Inc. said Tuesday that its average net selling prices for ferrous scrap in its fiscal first quarter ending Nov. 30 are expected to decline some 5 percent from the previous quarter, while ferrous sales volumes are expected to be off about 20 percent (amm.com, Nov. 27).
This has altered expectations of some steel buyers, who had been anticipating firming prices over the next few months but now see the possibility that scrap might instead go sideways, if not actually head down again.
"Im not looking for the same run-up in scrap prices that weve seen in the last few years," one Midwest distributor said, noting that what has become an annual New Years price rally for his own steel products might not continue as far into 2013 as it has in past years.
Most long product buyers noted that a fall of $20 per ton or less in scrap tags probably wouldnt trigger mill price cuts, in the interest of maintaining market stability. However, a substantially larger fall in scrap could force producers to adjust their prices, most observers agreed.
Moreover, the distributor market remains under pressure, especially in the West. Recent arrivals on the West Coast of South Korean beams bought by at least one major distribution chain at some $37 to $38 per cwt ($740 to $760 per ton) ex-dockcompared with a laid-in domestic December price into this market at $44 to $45 per cwt ($880 to $900 per ton)could put added stress on resale prices, market sources said.

We recognize that it takes time to learn to make good, quality steel. And we're not underestimating the need to do that and do it right.

Cocktail Inspiration: How To Infuse Vodka
Last weekend, we gave you enough cocktail recipes to keep you busy all summer long (you can get the full roundup here).
If you want to spike those drinks with something special, why not try infusing your own flavored vodka?
One of our favorite infused vodkas is jalapeño, which we've enjoyed many times in bloody marys at a standby New York brunch spot.
Ginger or lemongrass infused vodka could make a lovely, simple martini. And as berries start showing up in the markets, we imagine fizzy vodka tonics made with strawberry, raspberry, even watermelon infused liquor.
We don't have much experience making our own flavored vodkas, but some research has turned up these basic tips:
- Roughly chop the fruit you're using (or barely smash a few berries, leaving others intact) and add to a large glass container with a lid.
- Pour in 750 mL of vodka.
- Let steep in a dark place at room temperature — most instructions we've read say not to put it in the fridge — for up to one week. Stronger flavors like citrus may only take a couple of days. Subtle flavors like cucumber, berries, or herbs take longer.
- Pour the vodka through coffee filters set in a mesh strainer, and it's ready to use.
This article from New York Magazine follows John Rose, author of The Vodka Cookbook, around to bars in New York that serve infused vodka. It includes some recipes, including one for sour cherry vodka (mmm).

I made this Cranberry Orange vodka a while back and it was delicious. I stole the recipe from Michael Chiarello: http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,,FOOD_9936_35077,00.html
A useful comment from Sparkadelic on a post about bacon-jalapeño vodka:

As a veteran of bacon-vodka infusion, a few tips: Use more bacon - 1/2 pound of maple smoked-black pepper works great. Cook crispy, then crumble it into bits before adding to vodka. The additional surface area helps speed flavor infusion. After a couple of weeks, strain the vodka through cheesecloth, and put it in the freezer overnight in wide-mouthed jars. In the morning, use a spoon to remove the fat that will have congealed on the surface. Pour the liquid bacony booze back into a vodka bottle and store in the freezer until ready to use. Your inclination to try a martini is right on - a toothpick with two pearl onions sandwiching a twirled wedge of freshly cooked bacon, and a glass rimmed with hickory salt will send you straight to bacon heaven. Cheers!

You've read my mind! Infusing liquor is my personal project this summer! So excited... :)
I just had a pineapple infused vodka last night- Amazing.
The other flavors they had behind the bar in apothecary jars were cucumber, ginger, assorted melon, grapefruit, pepper and vanilla bean. Amazing.
My friend was saying she had a Garlic vodka recently- not my bag of tea- but she LOVED it.

Project Life 2014 – Week 6
- By Petra
- 16 March, 2014
- 12 Comments
Hello and welcome to week 6 of Project Life. I went a little "off course" this week and did not use a core kit. Gasp! I hear you say… It's just a small break and never fear I will continue on with my Becky Higgins Midnight Core and, I might add, this week is not straying too far away from the kit colours either. Shall we get started?
So, this is the left side of the weeks layout. My theme for this week was Black, white and wood… Yep made some good use of my wood veneer stash this week. I also used some 3×4 Days of the Week, Brush Script cards hand scripted onto Becky Higgins grid cards by Jodie at Polkadot Creative. A match made in heaven really. I am totally in love with Jodie's handwriting and so it's no surprise I totally love these cards. Lucky for us she sell them too. You can purchase them here.
Yes I certainly do "ENJOY" being able to use my veneers and they sit so well with the black and white cards. hehe
Skipping over to the right hand side more of the same really. Looking at the week I see there was quite a lot of journalling too! (the "weekly round up" wording on the 6×4 card is NOT Jodie's delicious script. That's my poor attempt at it because I needed something that matched to finish off this layout.)
A fork in my layout this week? What's that all about?…Oh it was the worst experience! I went to grab something quick to eat at lunch at work and was given this implement to eat with. Ok I'm game …. I tried it and can I be honest it was the worst experience ever. The wood in your mouth and scraping across teeth … brrr I even get the shivers thinking about it now. Nails on a chalkboard anyone ?…. Let's move on shall we?
Probably my favourite bit of this layout is this recount of an evening out with friends. It was last minute, unplanned and an absolute blast!
Finally week 6 in it's fulness right here.
Thanks For Dropping In

Oh Petra, don't be silly. Your weekly round up card looks great! Doesn't look out of place at all. Black & white & wood works so well!
Just beautiful. And your brush script is super. Lovely pages yet again. Magic
Loving your style, will be following your project life updates!
Gorgeous, so glad I'm not the only one who i grossed out by the feel of those forks, shudder… I actually photographed Jodie's handwriting on a parcel I purchased from the store for the album, i have mega hand writing jealousy issues,lol.
Love to see someone put in so much journaling in their PL album! I get wordy myself! Love the week journaling cards and you did a great job on the brush scrip you did! Thanks for sharing!
I am absolutely loving the black and white feel [of course] with the colour from the photos being the main focal point.

HASTINGS, Minn. (AP) — A Minnesota attorney is accused of setting his girlfriend on fire in his Burnsville condominium.
Sixty-year-old David Gherity was charged Friday in Dakota County with first-degree assault and two counts of first-degree arson, all felonies.
According to the complaint, the woman lost an ear in the Feb. 9 fire and also suffered burns to her scalp, face, neck, legs and one hand. She remains in the burn unit at HCMC.
The complaint says a smoke alarm brought firefighters to the condo. An analysis of the woman's clothes found alcohol for drinking, lotion "and possibly hair spray and fingernail polish remover." The woman told police she does not use hair spray, nail polish or remover.
The Star Tribune (http://strib.mn/1ha4bmw ) reports Gherity remains in jail with bail set at $50,000, with conditions.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
the husband already has a level 17 something or another on RIFT. The more I watch him play over his shoulder the more I'm tempted to purchase the download.
But, I've never been a gamer before WoW so I'm not sure I'd be able to transition to another game, no matter how shiny and awesome
Rift is really amazing. I feel it is very polished for how new it is and the way the class combinations work is amazing.
For anyone not familiar w/ Rift: you pick an archtype (Warrior, Rogue, Cleric, Mage) Then you pick 3 specializations, which you can pick form anything for that class. In WoW terms you might make a ranged caster giving him the lock affliction tree, the mage fire tree, and the priest discipline tree. You unlock the higher level spells from a tree by spending points in it. So to unlock say power word: sheild you may have to invest 20 points in the discipline tree. It works out well and makes for a lot of fun trying different combinations.
i.read.your said...
Yep, got to level 22 in Rift last night. It was mind boggling when I stopped in Iron Tombs (the first instance) and realized my Tank was a rogue, my Healer was a rogue [bard], melee DPS was straight rogue and I.... Me and my Dire Wolf as a Ranger was a rogue. Last guy was a melee DPS.. Cleric.
It's a great game, and has pulled nearly my entire WoW guild over.
And don't worry about picking up a new game, that's one thing Trion has done well with this game: its default keys are nearly identical to the WoW set, just pick a class and go.
My one caution is that it has many temptations for those that have short attention spans. A fedex quest took me 1.5 hours yesterday because I stopped at every rift and invasion along the way.
My husband and his best friend both quit WoW (leaving me in charge of our raiding guild!?!) and have devoted themselves fully to Rift. He is a level 43 Chloromancer/Warlock/Elemental Summoner. A healing mage, basically. He. Heals. As. A. Mage! Apparently Chloromancers are some of the strongest healers in the game right now.
He is loving it and refuses to even consider coming back to WoW. He says when Wow has mages that can heal, warriors who have pets, and rogues who can tank or heal, and massive zone wide invasion raids he might think about it, lol.
I'd love to try Rift out. But the don't have a Mac version yet, and I am not willing to spend the time need to set up dual-booting on my iMac. And yes, I'm familiar with Bootcamp, and no, I don't want to have to go get a copy of Win7 to lay on it. I'll just wait the 6 months or so. I'm sure Trion will want to get as many of us as possible, so they'll invest some dev time in a native Mac variant.
I'm purchasing Rift in about a week, not because it's awesome (which it is) but because I'm so bored of the WoW lore & devs (been playing since the start of BC) that anything solid enough will do.
I tried almost all MMOs on the market (RO, WH, AoC, RoM, PW, Aion, Atlantica) but always came back to WoW in the end simply because it's such a polished game, but with cataclysm, it feels like the devs purposedly made the game un-fun (tanks have to mark, plan CCs, know encounters by heart on their FIRST run just like in BC, dps have to sit in queue for nearly an hour just get a chance at finishing their daily, healing is simply a chore now) so yeah, I've been looking for anything that was new, strong AND still had the fun factor.
Tried DCUO for over a month, it's a great game but the company doesn't give a damn about the PC version so its a game that will always remain handicapped because of its PS3 counterpart.
Rift looks like it's taken a lot from everybody else on the market, stuck it in a WoW setting and the result looks quite promising. I was put off by their offensive add at first, but honestly after being treated like dirt by Blizz for months now I don't mind it so much anymore.
Hmm. As someone who has played RPG's since paper and pencil D&D I would say the fundamentalist in me would never want to play a game with classes like that. I'm not saying WoW is perfect. I'm sure RIFT is a lot of fun. The idea of having a Mage be a healer or a Rogue doing much other than slashing/backstabbing etc. Doesn't sound right. There are many things I don't like about WoW that have gotten away from what basic RPGs were like. I'm going to try and stick to my guns so to speak. WoW is and will be the only MMO I play. When I am done I am done (I hope) and will go back to playing console games :)
I'm with Noyou on the balance issue. Things may seem cool when everyone is everything they'd ever want to be NOW, but it simply can't last. Either the nerf bat will come down hard, everyone will be the same uber-spec, or the game will just die. Humans tend to screw this kind of thing up pretty good. It's basic game theory that there have to be some sort of limits, and the classic ones have 30+ years of tradition behind them. There's a reason they've survived three generations of gamers with very little change...
Also I fear CoH-syndrome with end game RIFT. If there's everything when you're level 1, what's the point of hitting max level? Once you have, your sense of accomplishment will likely suffer. It isn't like you're suddenly going to go raiding, you're already raiding and have been since the newbie area.
Time will tell, I suppose, but I worry.

We quit WoW for Rift and have never been happier. It's the most polished MMO at launch that I have ever seen. The talent system is revolutionary and has never been done before and it's graphics make WoW look like a steaming pile.

All Other Questions
How does our money-back, 100% risk-free guarantee work?
If you aren't super happy with Ethica's program and decide to cancel at anytime during the 4 month period, the entire course fee gets refunded. No questions asked. Refunds are not granted for extensions beyond the initial 4 months or to students who have attempted the CIFE™ or the ACIFE™ examination irrespective of whether they have passed or failed. Refunds will be made by wire transfer to your bank and transfer charges will be deducted from the total amount.
How long is a module?
About 20 minutes.
Will I be required to attend live training sessions?
There are no live sessions for the CIFE™ program, which is 100% self-study. For Ethica's Advanced CIFE™ in Islamic Accounting we had a chartered accountant with practical experience auditing over 1,000 Islamic banking transactions conduct "Accounting Masterclass" webinars. These webinar recordings help consolidate concepts covered in the 9 modules and add a new dimension to your learning experience. Our expert trainer not only covers tough questions but also discusses case studies, walks through exercises, screen shares balance sheets and other ancillary material for that extra edge.
Why are you offering an online program instead of just sending out a course book?
The convenience, reliability and efficiency of online delivery is unsurpassed. The Internet has changed everything. People prefer to get more and more information, even university education and bank training, from the Internet. And because many people see an ongoing online program as more effective than a two or three day crash course, corporates are more likely to opt for a blended program, containing both in-class instruction and e-learning. Listen to Salman Khan and Bill Gates in this video to understand this new generation gap, especially the first 5 minutes when he explains how his young cousins preferred e-learning to face-to-face tutoring: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gM95HHI4gLk. So we think that not only is e-learning more cost-effective, it's more *educationally* effective. Some things are better done face-to-face (ie. inspiration, ethics, conveying spatially complex concepts, etc.), but for pure information transfer, nothing matches e-learning for rapid delivery.
So you are saying I don't need to download and print any material, I will not receive any material by post and I am not expected to buy any books?
Absolutely. Ethica's 100% online delivery platform enables us to give you dynamic and up-to-date material 24 hours a day, rather than waiting around for outdated guidebooks, CDs, and distance learning emails. Our training and certification is designed for maximum knowledge transfer without burdening you with more information than you require. All the information, including spreadsheets, case studies, questions, exercises, and quizzes is contained in the training modules. As further enrichment Ethica offers all students over 400 pages of premium Islamic finance material including CIFE™ Study Notes, sample Islamic finance contracts, informative articles, recommended reading lists for Islamic finance practitioners and entrepreneurs, a glossary of commonly used industry terminology, and 1,000+ scholar-approved Q&As.
Which scholars support your company?
In our ongoing effort to promote industry-wide standards, we rely on the opinions of scholars who are knowledgeable in the Accounting and Auditing Organization of Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI) Shariah Standards, the world's leading Islamic finance standard.
Who recognizes and accredits Ethica's certification?
Ethica's 4-month CIFE™ is certified AAOIFI-compliant by leading Islamic finance scholars and approved by accredited Islamic institutions. AAOIFI is the Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions, the world's leading Islamic finance standard for more than 90% of the industry. If it isn't AAOIFI-compliant, it probably isn't Shariah-compliant.
What do you mean by third-party accredited?
All recognized certifications are third-party accredited. In order for any institution's certification to be fully credible, the accrediting body should be a third-party, not the institution providing the certification itself. That is why we have chosen Islamic finance scholars, the leading authorities in the field of Islamic finance, to accredit that we are following AAOIFI, the leading standard-setting body in the field of Islamic finance.
Why Is Standardization Important?
We believe that following the most widely accepted Islamic finance standard in the world, AAOIFI, leads to greater transparency, governance, and convergence. And this is why fatwas are so all-important in Islamic finance. Fatwas are expert legal opinions from Islamic scholars qualified to adjudicate on a particular matter. In Islamic finance, a non-scholar is not permitted to give a fatwa. AAOIFI's Shariah Board, on the other hand, has over a dozen scholars from all over the world. One of these AAOIFI scholars, Shaykh Yusuf Talal DeLorenzo, is one of Ethica's Shariah Advisors. Like the rest of the industry, Ethica's accreditation comes from scholars, not from academic bodies. To learn more about this subject you can read our article "FIQH OR FICTION - Why Islamic Finance Needs Standardized Training" here.
What job opportunities do I have after Ethica's certification?
Ethica's graduates perform better at Islamic banking jobs because our courses find their roots in the cut-and-thrust of banking execution. With Ethica you bring knowledge to the table and demonstrate confidence in your interviews. Ethica's Career Advancement Package includes:
- Personalized referrals to 3 institutions of your choice (based on your requirements and the institution's needs)
- Recommendation letters
- 1-on-1 career counseling
- Job interview coaching
- CV review
How does Ethica help the poor?
Poverty is a symptom of the root problem, and we believe one root problem is compounded interest. We hope to give people the tools to: 1) remove interest; and 2) implement alternatives. Islamic finance is still in its infancy and much progress still needs to be made but the proven principles of equity-based and asset and service-backed finance remain equally compelling.
How do you protect against theft?
We aim to provide a complete community experience in which multiple complementary learning channels, not to mention certification, are not obtainable by mere copying. Even so, we handle copyright infringement by incorporating a sophisticated back-end (data rights management) infrastructure that brings world class security to our website for easy fraud detection. Moreover, our members are everywhere, and when other trainers' content begins to look suspiciously like ours, we use our team of legal advisors to pursue offenders to the full extent of international law. We take the following measures:
- 24 hour back end visibility: A blogger once accessed our modules in an unusual way. We saw all the activity in the back end. When we asked him about it, he provided a satisfactory explanation so we did not report him.
- Informants: We have fans in over 100 banks. They tell us everything.
- More than slides: Each slide requires painstaking coordination of numerous things and expertise in e-learning far beyond the slide itself. If I copy all of Ahmed's PPTs, I'm still missing Ahmed. You don't have to go very far to find boring e-learning so even if the slides are copied, the execution can't be.
- Thieves are lazy: People who steal tend to be sloppy. Even when they try to be slick, eventually mistakes are made and are found out using IP addresses and old fashioned Google searches of similar sounding copy.
- International law: Only once we have had to resort to legal action when we found a copycat in Malaysia. Our response was swift, furious, and backed by a fleet of internationally-trained lawyers. The guy backed off within 24 hours.
I'm still at school. Does Ethica's certification make sense for me at this stage?
The CIFE™ and Advanced CIFE™ certifications are independent of other certifications and designations, both in terms of the content itself and the market perception. This is because the principles and products used in Islamic finance in general and Islamic accounting in particular are separate and distinct. We usually recommend that people get an early start on their Islamic finance knowledge and certification so that they see conventional products through the lense of Islamic finance rather than seeing Islamic finance products through the lense of conventional products which often hinders one's understanding of Islamic finance at later stages.

Better Late Than Never Movie Review: 'Neighbors'
Starring Seth Rogen, Zac Efron, Rose Byrne
There comes a point in your life where the party stops. I'll steal a line from 21 Jump Street, where you just want to "Put on a Snuggie, light a candle and get weird". Maybe the weird part no so much, but where you slide into a life where watching Pawn Stars and going to bed at 10pm sounds pretty fricking amazing. It's that weird shift where one day, going out means getting tore up from the floor up and the next, its two beers and you're good to go. Sometimes that's a hard transition, especially when you get that look from people who are pegging you as the old dude at the party. A look you used to give yourself. That the heart of Neighbors, a movie about growing up or fighting it.

TEAMS: New Orleans Saints, San Francisco 49ers, Atlanta Falcons
TEAMS: New Orleans Saints, San Francisco 49ers, Atlanta Falcons
Scared money makes no money. Going into the matchup between San Francisco and New Orleans, we could infer that coach Jim Harbaugh gambled with house money from week eleven. He cashed in Sunday afternoon as Colin Kaepernick proved to be the right choice leading the 49ers to a 31-21 win. The Niners will stay in the driver's seat to win the NFC West division while their entire organization fields questions about their favorite coach and quarterback (Kaepernick or Smith). Here is what we learned.1. The 49ers dashed the Saints playoff hopes. I chronicled the Saints' struggles in early October (see: "Saints Not Ain'ts, But Bountygate Has Certainly Taken Its Toll") questioning if they could overcome a horrific 0-4 start to make the playoffs. I doubted them, then; and they will not be crowned any time soon. New Orleans fell to 5-6 after yesterday's loss fumbling a chance to move up in the playoff standings after losses by the Packers, Vikings, Buccaneers and Seahawks. ...

Hand painted antique storage chests from Greentea Design
My partner is King of Clutter. It can be so disheartening because while I don't like a mess, the stuff can be hard to battle as it piles up and up and up. But I am happy to say that I think I have finally won the heart and mind of the king vis-a-vis this crap, and together we waged war against it, tackling the clutter pile by pile. Several trips to Goodwill later, many hours at the shredder, this place is looking fresh!
Here's how we did it:
The Closets
Super organized closet via Simplified Bee
Image via BHG
Image via I Heart Organizing
We started by cleaning out the closets which seems counter-intuitive. But it's a step I can't recommend highly enough if you're like us and stuff your closets with the stuff you rarely use. We set a stale-date for the closet discoveries: if it hasn't been used (and in many cases even thought about) in a year, can we really make a case for keeping it? So this is how we started the giveaway pile: toys, books, CDs, furniture, clothes, kitchen gadgets.
The next step was to get on with organizing the closets, which included putting up extra shelving so to best maximize space.
While this closet purging created waaaaay more chaos in the already chaotic apartment, it was necessary. Not only do we have more storage space in the closets, it got us in the right Get-Rid-Of-It frame of mind, which is how you want the stage set. No namby-pamby sentimentality about that TTC transfer from that "special day".
The Do-We-Need-It? Box
The next step, which we return to in a couple of weeks, was to go through the kitchen drawers, the "miscellaneous" drawers, the counter and renegade surface piles. We filed what needed to filed, returned home the articles that had a designated space. The rest we boxed and will return to in 4-6 weeks. If in that time we don't go in the box for it, then it gets tossed. Whatever we do use gets a permanent home.
Organizing The Rest With Pretty Boxes
It turns out that boxes are my best friend! (Or at least in the inanimate category.) Lidded ones and decorative ones especially. They are beautiful and functional and hide the crazy so perfectly. Greentea Design has the most amazing collection of antique storage boxes from all over Asia. I've got one that sits prettily in a display nook, hiding of all things, tools, lightbulbs, tape and batteries (hey it's out of reach of tiny curious hands, but still easy to access).
Here are some others in the showroom right now:
Tibetan chest adorned with fur
Handpainted antique storage box
Chest from Tibet adorned with leather
We stocked up on boxes of various sizes from IKEA, office supply places, etc. There seems to be no better time to find this stuff then during this Back-to-School season. Many of the things that were sitting out now have permanent homes in these boxes that are stored neatly on top of our bookcases, in closets, and the loveliest of them in plain sight.
It's been a lot of work, but well worth it. Home should be relaxing, the place to recharge, and your environment needs to reflect this. And finally ours does.
How do you control clutter?

Why Hire an Attorney for Labor & Employment Issues
Labor and employment issues control the relationship between employers and employees and those applying for employment, as well as regulating the workplace environment. An attorney can ensure that employee and employer rights and obligations are protected and followed in any employment relationship.

Some of the more common labor and employment disputes reported by employees include:
- Sexual harassment
- Affirmative action
- Wrongful termination
- Retaliation
- Discrimination in hiring and promotion
- Wage and hour issues
If an employee has an issue in any of these areas, retaining a lawyer can help to bring order to a volatile situation. The attorney can also assist the employee in providing proof of an alleged violation.
Resolving a labor and employment issue usually means first seeking an administrative remedy. Your attorney can help you file a complaint with the appropriate agency, such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission if the dispute is over discriminatory practices in hiring, promotion or pay, or with the Wage and Hour Division of the Department of Labor regarding complaints over wages owed and hours worked.
Sexual Harassment
One type of issue for which a labor and employment lawyer is essential is sexual harassment. Sexual harassment complaints are supposed to be handled internally at first, and an employer should have a policy against harassment and a means for an employee to bring complaints to the attention of management. A lawyer can certainly represent the employee at a hearing conducted within the company, if desirable.
Should your company have no policy or complaint mechanism, you still have to bring the matter to a supervisor's attention. Your attorney can explain the process to you and help you document the incidents and evidence. If you complaint is not resolved, your next step is a complaint with the EEOC or your state's fair employment office before a lawsuit can be initiated.
Employer Issues
As an employer, you can certainly use the services of a lawyer for labor and employment issues. Some notable tasks that an employment attorney can handle include:
- Reviewing or drafting an employee manual or safety manual based on the state and federal laws covering your employees
- Drafting notice and policy statements
- Representing you before the EEOC, NLRB or other agencies
- Representing you at collective bargaining negotiations
- Advising on issues related to certain disputes
- Ensuring you are complying with wage and hour issues
- Ensuring you are complying with visa requirements and issues regarding immigrant labor
- Negotiating severance packages with fired or terminated employees
Labor and employment law covers many difficult and complicated issues that only a skilled and knowledgeable labor attorney can adequately handle. If you have any issue regarding your rights at work, or if one of your employees has a grievance or complaint, immediately consult with an employment law attorney before taking any action.
