Georgia outside linebacker signee Leonard Floyd said this afternoon that he plans to attend a prep school this fall after not qualifying academically.
The four-star recruit from Dodge County High said the NCAA clearinghouse did not approve an online course on his transcript that he took while in high school.
Floyd got word on Tuesday and has been in touch with Georgia coaches to talk about a possible prep school for him to attend. He hopes to enroll at Georgia in January. Dodge County coach Rex Hodges said earlier today that Hargrave Military in Chatham,Va., would be a possibility.
"I'm disappointed, but I know after this I should be up there," said Floyd, who did not report to Athens while the clearinghouse provided an answer. "It's not anything but a few months."
Meanwhile, defensive line signee John Atkins from Thomson High may also be headed to prep school.
"We're still waiting," Thomson coach Milan Turner said today. "He's going to be at Georgia. It's just whether he's going to be there in August or December."
Turner said that Atkins is still awaiting word from the NCAA clearinghouse.
Turner said Atkins fallback plan would probably be to attend Hargrave. Turner said the clearinghouse is looking at Atkins transcript and test scores. Atkins retook the ACT last month in hopes of being able to qualify.
"I think he was within like one or two points," Turner said. "It was that close. They'll go back and look to make sure. There's always a chance of error where it could be a good one or two points. You never know."
All of the other members of Georgia's 19-player signing class are already on campus.

A little while ago, while enjoying a weekend in Baltimore, we wrote up a guide to one of our favorite cities for Cool Hunting. Among the featured locales was Dylan's Oyster Cellar— in the spirit of Summer Fridays, we encourage you to check out this pop-up before they pop-down in August. Click through to read the entire city guide here.
Last week, we got on the road (literally, and for a long damn time) to take a look around Music City. We stopped by several of the must-sees and still made time to dig around and find a few favorite spots of our own. Here's our quick-and-dirty snapshot of a hell of a town.

Like most folks with a predilection toward the exquisitely handmade, we tend to lament (loudly, after a few drinks) the general lack of DIY know-how these days. Lucky for us, the folks at MAKE TRIBE are on a mission that just might shut us up (quite a feat). Their latest can't-miss venture features two of our favorite things: leather goods and craft cocktails. Hang out at Readyluck Studios and sip cocktails from Baltimore area artisanal hotspot RYE next Thursday, September 19 while learning to make your own hand-bound leather notebooks. Put another way: get tipsy enough to complain about the state of handmade arts, while picking up the skills to prove yourself wrong. We know, we know— we can't believe how cool it is, either. Get more info here.
Right now, if you're anything like us, your mind is millions of miles away from the concept of "Black Friday". Maybe instead your thoughts are consumed by turkey temperatures, directions to grandmother's house, or where the heck all of your relatives are going to sit once they arrive. Worry not. We at RYE & RIVET have done all the legwork for you in the second installment of our yearly small business post-Thanksgiving shopping guide, so you can go back to focusing on what's really important, like whose turn it is to bring the Bourbon. Oh, and, of course, what you're thankful for.
ART OF SHAVING: $25 off any purchase of $125 or more in stores this Friday.
BALL AND BUCK: Hot shaves and cocktails in-store; spend $150 in-store or online to receive a $20 gift card; $300 gets you a $50 gift card; $500 gets you a $100 gift card all weekend.

In case you missed it, here's the interview I did with Mayur Subbarao of eclectic East Village bar Amor y Amargo (translating to "Love and Bitters"), up now over at A&H. Read it here.
This past Saturday, we were lucky enough to be able to go down to the Jazz Age Lawn Party on Governor's Island. Between the St. Germain cocktails and Charleston lessons, we snapped a few "street" ("lawn") style pics of sharp-dressed gents we came across. Unfortunately there won't be another one of these parties until next summer, but look on the bright side— that gives you plenty of time to research and plan your getup for the big day. And to stock up on particularly lush picnic accoutrements to make everyone else jealous, if that's your thing.
Sometimes, the holidays seem to be more about getting than giving. For some, it is unclear whether there ever was a time in which crazed, fitful holiday shopping did not begin the moment after the Thanksgiving table was cleared. Most of us don't remember a time in which department store Christmas trees failed to appear side-by-side with Halloween candy, a time in which "Sale Starts At Midnight!" wasn't emblazoned across every mail circular. But one must wonder, occasionally, whether folks would need to shop so frantically every winter if they simply paused to devote a bit more care to what they were buying. And so, RYE & RIVET presents: our lineup of Black Friday sales from small businesses. These sales won't force you to wake up at 3 a.m., won't make you mow down a family of four with your shopping cart, won't threaten your dignity by asking you to scramble wildly after the last "Tickle Me Elmo." While you may not be able to do all of your holiday shopping at these sites, they'll certainly put you in a nicer frame of mind for when it comes time to select a gift for Crazy Aunt Zelda. And remember: you're supporting small businesses, good quality, and the tradition of craftsmanship. What could be better for the season of giving?
ABCDENIM: Grand opening, plus get 10% off using code "BLACKFRIDAYSALE2011"
BALDWIN DENIM: 20% off entire stock at the men's shop (phone orders welcome) between 9 a.m. and noon

♥ XIAN LIM AND THE CHIU FAMILY: First picture was early 2011 before 'My Binondo Girl' started at Kimmy's Ate Kam's birthday. At this party a lot of Kimmy's close guy friends were there, Xian Lim, Gerald Anderson and Jason Abalos included. Second and third picture was in Cebu, after a 'My Binondo Girl' mallshow (2011), the cast, Matteo's cousin, and Kimmy's family and close friends went to a club called 'Vudu'. The third picture is Kimmy's ate Twinkle dancing with Xian, so cute! The very last picture… I know too well, March 10, 2012. Family dinner. Kimmy asked Xian to have dinner with her lola and tita since they had come in from Cebu, Xian agreed and he went to the dinner. What I find so cute and so sincere, is that he was willing to see her family that had come all the way from Cebu to Manila, and what I found even more scream worthy, is that SHE invited HIM. What did Xian have to say? Well… Xian being Xian, said the sweetest things a man could say.
"Sabi ko naman I'll make time [for her]. Masaya naman siya kasama. I always say she's special. I have a busy schedule, she has a busy schedule, [pero] 'pag merong time, lumalabas naman kami. Siyempre it's a wonderful experience to be introduced to her family. It means it's getting deeper, hindi lang siya yung hi-hello na friendship. Walang humahadlang. Kapag naramdaman 'yan ng puso, hindi naman mapipigilan."
Oh swoon!!!!

If you can use the weather as a way to measure a political candidate's popularity, it appears Sarah Palin is pretty popular, at least in these parts.
Saturday in Fort Wayne was cold by Fort Wayne standards. But at 11 a.m., people started lining up outside the unlocked doors to Memorial Coliseum, where they obediently waited outside in the damp wind for a chance to see the Republican vice-presidential candidate.
By 4 p.m., the number of people formed what was probably the longest line Fort Wayne has ever seen. Standing three and four abreast, men, women, the middle-aged, teens and even a few kids, almost exclusively white, formed a column that snaked back and forth in front of and along the sides of the Coliseum, a winding column probably half a mile long.
"She's worth it, and the people are nice," shouted one woman.
When the doors finally opened at 4:07 p.m., it really didn't shorten the line much. People flooded into the building and up the stairs, where everyone had to pass through metal detectors, most were checked again with a wand and some were even frisked a third time.
Nearly four hours later, as the Coliseum slowly filled up and as Hank Williams Jr. and various politicos tried to warm up the crowd, Congressman Mark Souder noted that the program had been delayed a bit. Most in the crowd thought it started at 6:30 p.m. Some thought 7:15. Now it was past the scheduled starting time, and thousands of people were still standing in line outside the Coliseum, waiting to get in.
Much of the delay had to do with the meticulous security. One young man who was waiting for a friend described it as "like the airport, times 100."
But no one seemed to mind the wait. At least, no one was complaining out loud, and if anyone was, the media wouldn't know. They were all confined to a fenced-in area on the Coliseum floor across from the podium where Palin would speak, so access to members of the public was restricted.
The wait didn't appear to dampen people's enthusiasm much. Oh, the politicos' speeches drew what could be regarded as polite cheers from the crowd, but with practically every seat in the place filled, including the nose-bleed seats next to the ceiling, and with the arena floor packed with people with VIP passes, even a polite cheer was loud.
There's something about Palin. She draws crowds, huge ones. McCain, one Danish TV reporter who is following the campaign said, draws maybe 2,000 when he has a rally. Those numbers pale compared with the ones Palin pulls in.
The rally also drew a cross-section of the Republican faithful. Some say she was supposed to win middle-aged female voters, but some say she's actually gathering middle-aged men. Saturday, she also drew plenty of young people and plenty of women, more women than men, it appeared.
And it was Palin who got the real cheer, that deafening roar that big crowds put out, when she finally marched down an elevated walkway to the podium. The introductory cheers she got before she ever began to speak, and the one she got when she asked, in so many words, whether Hoosiers would give her and John McCain the job, were the loudest.
Somehow, though, one didn't sense frenzy in the crowd.
Frenzy is fun. It swirls around you and sucks you in; your face turns red and you find yourself screaming, and when it's all over you're still saying, "Oh wow, man."
Maybe people were just tired. They had, after all, stood in line for hours.

Cool news for Indian food fans:
Thali restaurant has opened in the Patel Plaza shopping center in Decatur. This vegetarian spot serves a fixed price lunch and dinner of what looks like a dozen or more items. I peeked in and talked to the owner (sorry, didn't get his name). He told me that each customer gets a thali (a platter holding several curries, starches and pickles, and comprising a full meal). But he also made it sound like the meal would be coursed out, with two entrees making their appearance, as well as some sweets.
There is also a snack counter with Indian sweets and savories.
The restaurant is inside the redeveloped shopping plaza, and it holds a number of cozy low tables on raised platforms with cushions scattered around. There is also table-and-chair seating.
The price for the meal is $14.99, lunch and dinner. I hope to check it out soon.

This appears to be a Gujarati restaurant. Should be interesting.

looking forward to a review for this. Being a Gujarati, I would like to try this place.
June 10th, 2011
10:17 pm
Don't you think 14.99 is kinda high for a lunch when so many other Indian places, also offering thali selections, are half that price. i love experiencing new restaurants and granted i have never been to a Gujarati place, but i still think the lunch prices are high. course my curiousity is peaked….i am off to research the cuisine!

we have been there. great food!
we have to go there to relax and enjoy the food.
i don't recommend if you want to eat something in a hurry.

We went there over the weekend, this is their first weekend.
Great decor and well presented. Great variety of food.
We started with rice crisps, a variety of appetizers (dhokla, chilli pakora, cutlets etc.) with mint and tamarind chutney. Main course was poori, chappati good in quality with a variety of side dishes with Shrikhand. We got a cup of butter milk as well. While we were wondering it is too much food, they also provided steamed rice, Khadi, and kichadi. We ended our meal with Pista kulfi.
All the food is unlimited, they served everything freshly made. Great variety of food for the price.
They had some issues with workers so only a 2 people were there to wait the tables. Food service was slow. Manager showed up and apologized for the delays and promised to have them fix this.

As I work in public relations and marketing, I'm often the recipient of statements about South Holland. Oftentimes, the feedback is received from a visitor commenting on their observations as they cross the border from a neighboring community into South Holland. More often than not, the messages are complimentary and remind me that people are paying attention to this community.
Well, as South Holland's Vision 2022 strategic plan progresses, the village has a new structure that is most definitely grabbing the attention of residents, visitors and the traveling public. Vision 2022 10-year plan, which was initially introduced to the community in October 2012, seeks to advance the village's economic development goals, enhance the community's infrastructure and technology, further develop its role as a local and regional leader, and establish a more cohesive community, among other aspirations.
The undertakings of the plan are vast and ambitious, and led by a fully charged and enthusiastic administrative team. Now in it's first year of implementation, the most notable and visible improvement is the installation of a new gateway sign. This is not the average "Welcome to South Holland" sign that motorists are accustomed to seeing as they enter the community from the north, south, east and west.
The village's leadership team worked with a local company to create this monument-like structure installed at the border on U.S. 6 (162nd Street), west of State Street. Built on a concrete foundation, the design consists of three pillars, constructed using stone molded concrete blocks, each with an engraved stone highlighting the community's motto of Faith Family Future.
South Holland's redesigned insignia, etched in the middle pillar, is made of granite with a polished border to frame the logo. The caps were created to crown the pillars with seasonal plants and flowers, and decorative fencing is the innovative finishing element that connects the three sections.
The concept of the gateway structure is consistent with design elements of South Holland's Town Center, creating a more aesthetic appearance for the town's main thoroughfare.
South Holland village employee Steve Vinke worked closely with Village Administrator Jason Huisman, Public Works Director Jeff Hon, Planning, Development and Code Enforcement Director Frank Knittle, and company owner Brian Tennis to develop concepts for the structure. Weeks of planning have resulted in an incredible structure that brings the village's Vision 2022 plan to life.
An additional gateway structure, on a smaller scale, will be installed at the 170th Street entrance, east of Paxton Avenue (bordering Lansing).

Movie Stars
From film noir to anime, there's a wine for that
With the Wisconsin Film Festival taking place this month, many of us will also watch movies at home. Great movies deserve great wine, and a defining characteristic is its ability to evolve in the glass. Just as a plot unfolds, so do fine wines, exposing intricacies and twists and turns not experienced in the initial taste. Now, you can speed this up with decanters or aerators, but there's something special about experiencing a long progression of change right out of the bottle. My hope is that your wine will be at its absolute peak right when the climax of your film hits.
Anime: Hofer Grüner Veltliner, Weinviertal, Austria 2011 $15 for liter
Austria's Grüner Veltliner grape can change dramatically. This matinee-priced version begins with aromas of freshly cut rhubarb and grapefruit. The wine is tangy and tingles the palate. After an hour, notes of lentils and mizuna emerge, and the wine is softer and rounder, yet no less refreshing. Try with generously buttered popcorn sprinkled with Parmesan.
Space Westerns: Merry Edwards Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley 2009 $45
This starts out a real fruitbomb, with dense dark fruit and cocoa aromas and flavors standing out in bold relief. After an hour, everything tastes much more harmonious and better; it's as if the quality of the chocolate nuances in the wine went from Hershey's to Valrhona. Order some sweet and soy-heavy takeout and enjoy!
Film Noir: Produttori Barbaresco, Piedmont, Italy 2007 $43
Made from the Nebbiolo grape in the Barbaresco region of Piedmont, this wine initially shows aromas of tart cherries and a faint herbaceousness. On the palate the wine is lean, with forceful tannins and acidity. After an hour, the wine blossoms, showing violet and truffle aromas, with a softer and sensual palate feel and an exciting mineral-tinged finish. Enjoy with crackers, sopressetto and some quality pecorino.
Available at Madison's finer wine stores. If unavailable, most purveyors will special order from their wholesalers if requested.
Michael Kwas is wine director at L'Etoile restaurant. He writes this column monthly.

Static test techniques provide a great way to improve the quality and productivity of software development. It includes the reviews and provides the overview of how they are conducted. The primary objective of static testing is to improve the quality of software products by assisting engineers to recognize and fix their own defects early in the software development process.
Also See: What is static testing technique?
The uses of static testing are as follows:
Informal reviews are applied many times during the early stages of the life cycle of the document. A two person team can conduct an informal review. In later stages these reviews often involve more people and a meeting. The goal is to keep the author and to improve the quality of the document. The most important thing to keep in mind about the informal reviews is that they are not documented.
Formal reviews follow a formal process. It is well structured and regulated.
A formal review process consists of six main steps:
During a review four types of participants take part. They are:
|1. Fundamentals of testing
|What is Software testing?
|Why is testing necessary?
|Software testing objectives and purpose
|What is Defect or bugs or faults?
|What is a Failure?
|From where do Defects and failures arise?
|When do defects arise?

We'll always remember where we were that historic day when Tiger Woods took to the airwaves with all the spunk and spontaneity of a hostage video.
We were talking to the very spunky and spontaneous Fred Schneider.
"I need to do something like that and apologize to the nation. I need some publicity," Schneider mused as Tiger droned.
The reason for our Friday morning chat was "Fred Schneider's Spring Thang Bingo Dance Party," a March 5 benefit at the Gold Room for the charity Pets Are Loving Support and the Georgia Music Hall of Fame.
"If you're wondering, 'what should I wear?' Who cares? Just bring a big, fat wallet," said Schneider, exhibiting more candor in one sentence than we saw in that entire Ponte Vedra Beach press conference. "I'm going to be playing all this wild and real obscure funk. I don't take requests. I'll probably get out on the floor dancing. I don't really know how to DJ. I just pick the songs and then get out and dance."
Want to join the party? Tickets are $20 for general admission, $40 for admission and seven "Disco Bingo," cards and $75 for VIP admission that gets you into the upstairs lounge for a meet and greet with Schneider. Doors open at 6 p.m. and Bingo starts at 7 p.m. See www.palsatlanta.org or call 404-876-7257 for tickets and more information.
Tweet of the day
"I think I was underdressed when heading out to dinner, based on hotel employee's comment last evening: 'Enjoy your workout, Mr. Cink.'"
- Pro golfer and metro Atlanta Stewart Cink, lamenting his overly casual threads last week. But hey, in the realm of image problems facing certain prominent PGA golfers these days, things could be worse, right?
Actor Wesley Snipes, in town promoting his new film "Brooklyn's Finest," arrived with an entourage at Whiskey Blue in the Buckhead W the other night. He and his crew occupied a large table at the back of the room.
A fashionable visit to Atlanta
Tim Gunn, the source of so much tasteful yet gentle fashion guidance on "Project Runway" will be here today. He speaks at 3 p.m. in the main ballroom of Georgia State University's Student Center at 3 p.m. The author of "Tim Gunn: A Guide to Quality, Taste and Style," he will discuss his book and his role on the Lifetime reality show. He'll take questions from the audience and will sign books and his appearance is free and open to the public.
In other "Project Runway" news, Atlanta contestant Anthony Williams didn't fail to live up to expectations – for quippy one-liners – last week. Contestants were challenged to create kiddie outfits with corresponding "Mommy" looks, meaning lots of little fashionistas running around.
"Do y'all have an off switch?" he asked.
Later, a bit flustered at creating frocks for small frames, he vented, "I feel like I work in the chicken shack!"

The Finger Lakes as a Foodie Destination
If you are in NYC, or close enough to it, you might actually believe that you have no need to travel too far to taste the best of the best. But the truth is a lot of the best of what NYers enjoy in their favorite city restaurants come from upstate, and when it comes to a farm-to-table experience, there is no better place to be. Many restaurants and chefs work with their local farmers, often their closest neighbors, to deliver and create the many seasonal dishes I enjoy with each visit there. Below are my favorite foodie highlights (some of them winners in the 2013 Finger Lakes Food Revolution Foodie Awards).
Favorite Foodie Restaurants
The Leaf Kitchen (winner Best Locavore Restaurant Menu in the Finger Lakes) in Geneva: to meet Tatiana Bruno, the "face" of Leaf Kitchen, is to love her. Her enthusiasm and passion for everything they serve, which is organic, local, sustainable, hormone and antibiotic free makes one excited to eat there. Together with Executive Chef Jack Woolfrey, whom you might never meet, but whom you will love equally for his delicious dishes and culinary creations, they have made Leaf Kitchen a must-stop foodie destination when in Geneva, NY. Without really knowing what will be in season upon your visit, I can say that if you ever see the mac 'n cheese, get it (Tatiana will steer you safely into wine pairing bliss for any one of your dishes). The Baked Boucheron with apricot preserves, toasted nuts, and dressed greens is meant to share, but you might not want to, and of course the Poutines, hand-cut french fries featuring NY State cheese curds. What else can I say?
Simply Crepes (winner Best Use of Finger Lakes Ingredients in an Entree for their Great Grape Crepe) in Canandaigua: I have traveled especially and exclusively to eat here. I enjoy the ambiance and the food. Meeting Pierre and Karen Heroux, founders of Simply Crepes, and learning how it came about (Karen was inspired to pursue her dreams by watching an Oprah episode on television), was a treat. Having Pierre not only prepare, but also teach us how to make crepes took the experience to the next level (an experience offered to guests). Their award-winning Great Grape Crepe is a seasonal item, but if you are lucky to be there when it is being served, order it…it's so yummy!
Brown Hound Bistro in Naples: A small, century-old house turned restaurant is the dream-come-true of Trish Aser, who along with Chef Clay Secrest and Pastry Chef Emmy Wilk, aim to deliver the best their area can provide. If it's local and seasonal, they will make something delicious from it, showing culinary artistry in every dish. I have never had a bad meal here, and though in the winter this small eatery can only seat 20, during warmer months the seating capacity is expanded and guests are welcomed to enjoy their meals while on the outdoor wrap-around deck while drinking wine.
Favorite Foodie Tours
Ganondagan in Victor: When I first visited this former home of the Seneca Native Americans, it was summer, and I got to tour the 17th-century bark longhouse and hike through their trails. It was a wonderful experience and somewhat spiritual when you consider the history of the land and the people who lived there. This time I had the honor of tasting a white corn lunch, prepared and served by Peter Jemison, a Seneca elder and the site manager of Ganondagan and his wife, Ganondagan Executive Director, Jeanette Miller. The corn used in almost every element of the meal, from the stew, to the bread, to the cookies, was made from Iroquios White Corn, a native corn from the area and the focus of a project to bring back the practice of growing corn and assisting in the farming industry among the Native American people in the region. You can purchase the corn online as well to try out your own recipes. Visiting Ganondagan is a must, especially for a foodie who wants to experience a culture that is connected to the land in every way.
New York Wine & Culinary Center in Canandaigua: The cooking classes here are the best experiences to have with friends, as a couple, or with your family. Chef Jeffory McLean led our group through a quick and delicious brunch class that we later got to share and enjoy together. There are a lot of things I love about this location, from the dining experience, to shops, to culinary classes. But I also really like what they do for the community. Through their Junior Chef Camp, they are able to reach and teach younger kids about the various produce grown in the state. They are taught to find, prep, and develop delicious recipes that they can later take home and hopefully instill in efforts to improve their eating habits. I also appreciated how realistic Chef McLean was in acknowledging that for many families attaining fresh produce isn't easy, so he teaches them to best work with the products they can access, whether canned or boxed, to better improve their culinary practices and eating habits. A true gem and a must-visit.
Food and Technology Farm in Geneva: If you want to walk away feeling empowered and inspired by what other foodies are doing to influence the food choices available to us, then you want to visit this center. Meeting Executive Director Susan Noble and her "tenants", those inspired to develop something unique and amazing with food produce, makes one feel like even in a world filled with processed food we still have a chance to do better. It is places like this that gives those committed to the cause a helping hand to do so. Located in the middle of a 72-acre apple orchard, this facility hosts office spaces, labs, and production facilities to help culinary entrepreneurs develop their consumer products. But it's not just food products being developed here. Companies behind products like Mooseberry Soaps (using fresh herbs and spices) to Cabernet Franc VERJOOZ share space alongside others producing CheriBundi juices and Stony Brook squash seed oils. A Finger Lakes Viticulture Building is in the works, scheduled to open in the fall of 2014.
Red Jacket Orchards (winner Best Finger Lakes Non-Alcoholic Beverage or Juice) in Geneva: Tour this production facility, that really does more packaging of its juices than production work, as all their juices are 100% juice and nothing more (except maybe for some added Vitamin C). It's a pretty incredible process to witness: crush the apples, separate the peel, seeds, bottle and label. Done. Located on a 500 acre orchard, this family owned business has always been committed to sustainable practices. Have a taste and you will see why they are celebrated by their consumers. Their juices are available at While Foods and NYC green markets.
What is Food without Wine & Spirits?
Eagle Crest Vineyard in Conesus, NY: Originally known as O-Neh-Da Vineyard (founded in 1872 by Bishop Bernard McQuaid) this vineyard's sole mission was to produce 100% pure grape wine for sacramental use. Eagle Crest Vineyards still supports O-Neh-Da and produces premium sacramental wine. But what few know is that Eagle Crest is quickly standing out for their artisan-crafted Finger Lakes Table Wine. A visit to Eagle Crest and O-Neh-Da Vineyards is a unique experience. Secluded a little away from it all, near the western shore of Hemlock Lake and on protected land, it is sure to deliver a serene Finger Lakes experience, complemented by some of the best wine in the area. Not to be missed are their upcoming summer events, like the Grape Jamm' starting in June, for where music, wood-fire pizza, wine, and artists come together to offer visiting guests a fun time. And if you meet proprietors Will and Lisa, you will see why this is surely to become the place to be for events this summer.
Casa Larga Vineyards in Fairport: This ice wine vineyard follows a traditional path of waiting for the right, freezing cold night to head out into the vineyards and hand-pick the grapes, followed by pressing while still frozen, to produce a sweet, rich syrup. While there are more modern ways to do this, this winery prefers to keep it old-school, a practice that as lead to it becoming the most awarded ice wine in the country. The Casa Larga property itself is gorgeous, and a favorite romantic and wedding destination.
Arbor Hill Grapery in Naples: Best known for their award-winning wines as well as their gourmet food products which include over 45 food items, such as sauces, salad dressings, pies, and jams.The only winery in the world to produce Diana, Iona, and Vergennes varietals. If you want to move on from your wine experience and taste something different, make sure to check out their Brews & Brats for $4 crafted beer tastings and some specialty sausages to go with them. The ambiance here is casual, welcoming, and fun.
These foodie experiences were courtesy of the Finger Lakes Visitors Connection, a wonderful resource for anyone traveling to the area, and their partners. The Finger Lakes team hosted the very first Finger Lakes Foodie Awards, exposing me to the exciting food revolution happening in the area and celebrating those making the largest impact in the culinary scene. Check out Finger Lakes Food Revolution website for information on the 2013 winners, as well as other foodie events happening throughout the year.
And remember, good food and amazing wine is only made better with great friends. During this experience, I was blessed with being surrounded by some of my favorite people (click on the links to read about their experiences):
Jen (NextKidThing.com), Corine (Complicated Mama.com), myself, and Liz (ThisFullHouse.com)
Our ride, the Terrain Denali, was courtesy of GMC. It was a life saver as I drove upstate in the midst of a snow and ice storm. This ride was reliable, comfortable, incredibly great in the storm, and even greater on gas. Plus, it's spaciousness allowed us to bring a lot of the Finger Lakes back home with us!
A bit of my heart is in the Finger Lakes forever. I just love it there. For more on what to do and where to eat, please check out: Weekend Getaway to The Finger Lakes, Fall Road Trippin' to The Finger Lakes, and Indulging The Foodie at The Finger Lakes.

East Crotona Park 2009
This Bronx Radio Rookies workshop was in partnership with the Next Generation Center, a fantastic multi-service youth drop-in center run by the Children's Aid Society. The Bronx Rookies worked hard for months to tell their stories about poverty in the Bronx, the standards in public schools, the effects of Chernobyl, incarcerated parents, and a rare debilitating disease. Their stories were awarded the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award, the Sigma Delta Chi Award for Public Service in Radio Journalism, a Gracie Award, a National Edward R. Murrow Award were a finalist for an NABJ Award.
My Mother's Disease
Friday, October 09, 2009
Until recently all Victoria (Vikky) Cruz knew was that her mother was sick. Her mother hasn't been able to walk in years, can barely speak and goes into rages, but no one ever told Vikky why. Now, at 17-years-old, Vikky struggles to cope with her mother's illness, a rare gentetic disease called neuroacanthytosis, and the ways it's taken over the mother she once knew.
Incarcerated Parents
Thursday, October 08, 2009
15-year-old Keith Tingman remembers his tenth birthday better than any other birthday before or since: that was the day he watched his mom get arrested after being falsely accused of stealing someone's wallet.
The Chernobyl Disaster
Wednesday, October 07, 2009
Rookie Reporter Irina was born in Belarus 6 years after the Chernobyl disaster. Belarus bore the brunt of the radiation fallout and her family moved to the Bronx to escape the contamination. Now, Irina and her family attribute many of their health problems to the radiation.
Promotion in Doubt
Tuesday, October 06, 2009
Last year, the New York City Department of Education raised the standards for passing the 8th grade and ended social promotion--the practice of letting failing students matriculate to keep them with their peers. Radio Rookie AJ Frazier has always just skated by, so this meant he needed to change his ways. AJ reports on how the higher standards impact his work ethic and explores the shady line between getting promoted or being left behind.
Money Stress
Monday, October 05, 2009
With joblessness at a 26 year high, many people across the country are getting a crash course in coping with the stress of not having a steady pay check. Rookie Reporter Erikka Diaz, like many of her neighbors in South Bronx, has lived in poverty her whole life. Her family knows well the anxiety that comes with constantly having to scrape enough money together to pay the rent, buy groceries, and have enough left over for all the things kids want, like going to the prom, or a new pair of sneakers.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
MY oldest daughter went to the school in the late 90's that the school was horrible. I was hessitant to send my child in 2009. I did anyways in the meantime I researched schools..My experience with the school now is very pleasant, the teachers are great (she is in the gifted program) and the principal seems to respond to concerns. The only thing I would change is for them to be strict about disciplining kids when it comes to bullying. My daughters grades are excellent, her teachers care about the kids. The lunch lines are still a problem. but other than that the school is surprising me. I am pleased.
Nimitz is a great school. Working here for a few years now I can see the difference this administration and staff has made to improve academics of all students
This is an amazing school. The classroom centered on the California State Standards. Teachers are working really hard for our students success.
Working at this school is great. The teachers are amazing and the students are very respectful and well mannered.
I am very exicted that my children are attending this school. They are in Honors courses and they are coming home with A's & B's. The teachers are very dedicated to their students. I like that this school is reaching out to the parents. I would like for the school to reach out more to the community and involve the neighboring residents to help with the protection of the children especially before and after school. I am glad that I decided to give Nimitz a chance for my kids future:)
I'm a teacher at Nimitz and I have to say that Nimitz has come a long way from what I've heard it used to be. The school is striving hard (and succeeding) to make significant academic gains and, among many other middle schools in the L.A. area, it is highly regarded for the cohesiveness of the teachers and faculty in doing what's best for the students, and giving them the skills and discipline needed to succeed. I am the first ot admit that Nimitz has a long way to go, but I do see great things coming its way.
I really like that parents are getting more involved in school now!
I think taht Nimitz MS is a very nice middle school to have your children go to. Overall this school has very proffessional teachers and the students who come here have a very big possibility of getting a career. Even though this school isnt that good at dicipline we'll say that about 2%of the kids arent diciplined.
This school is a very great school. It is very homey and my kids love this school. I think all the teachers are down to earth. This is a fine school.
this is a safe school its big and it has great classes and a diffrent BETTER schedule for students that keeps them safe. The school is not crowded and the teachers are very nice.
This school is very great and safe. There are no fights and if there is someone threathing a student they can report them and if anyone touches a student they get exspelled. This is truly great because then student can be safe. There are also many great activities and the code of uniform is nice.
Yeah this school os pretty fun activities are great. The hallways are clean and there is enough room for students to pass and get to classes on time. The dress code is good and there is a lot of saftey.
Well I went to this school in 2001 and I thought it was a great school. There was enough activities for student to get involved with and all the teachers new how to do their job because they really made me learn.
I graduated from nimitz in '96 and every year all everyone seems to say is 'we are trying to make it better' apparently administration is not trying hard enough cause we are in 2003 now and this schools quality has diminished...students have lost interest in education completely now
will i think that its ok but i dont like how the teachers teach them so anyways i think its ok
I think this school is dingy and dirty.Too much preasure on GATE students to excel.The lunch prices for students who do not qualify for free or reduced lunch are too expensive.The lunch lines are also too long.Sometimes my son does not eat because he did not have time
This school is in the saddest condition that I've ever seen. How can a student be motivated to attend this school when the deans don't encourage their own teachers. My daughter has luckily ran into some of the few extraordinary teachers that this school has to offer. Ms. Castilo, Mrs. Maaraji, Ms. Nierderdeppe and Mr. Dirzak the name a few. Thank you for your patience and encouragment towards my daughter Michel'lee Salas. Sandie Chumacero

David Drummond Speaks
When Google Almost Went Bankrupt
Why you should care
The multibillion dollar company you know today was once just two students looking for a lawyer to help them start their business — David Drummond was, and is, their guy.
Source: Leslie dela Vega
You probably use it every day, and chances are you've wondered how it is, exactly, that Google makes its money. David Drummond, the search giant's top lawyer, rarely gives interviews, but few people have clearer insight into what it's been like to watch the company grow, how it makes decisions about where to invest next and, moreover, what's ahead for Silicon Valley as a whole.
In part one of OZY's in-depth interview with this influential insider, we asked Drummond about Google's early days on Stanford's campus and learned that the way they went from cool idea to hugely profitable business was by taking a risk so big it could have buried them.
Check in for part two, where Drummond tells us how Google approaches acquisitions and why they're willing to spend so much on companies you've never heard of.
David Drummond is an investor, adviser and contributor to OZY.

oh well, i'm quite disappointed with these nerfs. I'm prot paladin as main spec, used to spec ret for some relax, however after patch, yes i can burst people a lot(not as much as mages but still:P), however these nerfs aren't really gonna change it too much imo. Seriously, my ret burst is pretty heavy even without seals, and if SoB hits for 500 or 400(which is probably what this patch does), it wont save the game.
I think this hurts holy solo and prot threat way more than ret burst. Devs said they like ret dps in pve, just wanna tone down ret burst, well this seems to me like nerf to sustained dps, holy dmg, prot dmg/threat, but definitely not ret nerf :/ Correct me if i'm wrong, but i fail to see points of such nerfs.
i'm not QQing about it, i don't think nerfing SoV threat by some 20% will make me lose aggro, 'cos in my roughly T5level gear (some prekara,badge,T5,T6) i can keep above sunwell geared dps even while offtanking (about 20% behind SWP tankadin and T6 tankadin with JoL), but these nerfs seem pretty weird to me :/

Another shot has been fired in the war on teaching our teenagers the truth about sex. The latest victim? Hand holding.
Yes, my friends, the great connector of two people in a crowd and safety mechanism for moms of toddlers everywhere is now officially a gateway to sexual activity! This one comes out of Tennessee, where State Senators have seen fit to actually pass a bill making this gem a piece of the sex ed curriculum. And they didn't stop there (of course they didn't).
The bill also makes a teacher going so far as to show what she (or he) means by "hand holding" a fire-able offense. In other words? If a kid asks, "So, Mr. Jones, when you say hand holding is one step away from knocking up my neighbor, what exactly do you mean?" a teacher can't actually lace their fingers together without worrying that they'll be told to pack their things and hit the road.
Gee, with a sex ed program like this, it's a shock that Tennessee ranks in the top 10 for number of pregnant teenagers, isn't it? No wonder the state's home to one of MTV's Teen Mom reality stars (Maci Bookout hails from the Chattanooga area).
Thank goodness they're making these batshit changes to really scare the heck out of kids. I just wonder if they've done enough. What will happen to a Mom who walks into a Tennessee high school with her hand firmly grasped around that of her teenager's youngest sibling? Shouldn't she be labeled a pedophile and banned from campus? After all, we can't allow such filth around our children!
Or maybe, just maybe, we could try acknowledging to our kids that signs of affection between two people are a natural part of life. That human connection is a building block of society. That yearning for some form of physical contact is not dirty at all.
Teenagers have it hard enough in this department. They're often feeling "too old" to seek the comfort derived from cuddling with their family members. But they're too young for the deep sexual relationships that help adults navigate a lonely world. Holding hands and hugging can be kids' best means for bridging the gap between the two.
I don't really enjoy thinking about my daughter one day having sex any more than the next parent. But I enjoy even less the thought of her sitting in a classroom being told that she should live a cold existence without the kindness of human touch lest the feel of a boy's palm makes her want to rip off her clothes and jump in the sack. What a sad society we're living in when we don't even want kids to enjoy the feel of basic human connection.
Where do you draw the line for what you consider normal emotional connection between kids and "gateway to sexual activity"?

I was pissed when HUGGING was banned from some schools. Handholding? That's just ridiculous.
Anything can prelude sexual activity, but that doesn't mean that everything should be banned because it doesn't always mean it's a prelude to sexual activity. People don't need to hug or hold hands to want to have sex later. That's silly.
Like a pp said, yeah girls get excited when they hold their crushes hand, but girls get excited with any level of attention from the guy they like. They're just silly. It's not a bad thing for a child to get excited with attention from the boy/girl they like. You just have to worry about when they actually start dating and getting in relationships that they are educated enough on the sensations and feelings they will get and the possible consequences of acting on them.
OMG, Teens NEED the practice of courting so when they are finally out of the house, they don't marry the first psyco that comes along!! And.. just what is wrong with hand holding and making out? I did plenty of that as a teen and still kept my virginity until college when I dated the same guy my entire 4 years.
@kaerae, don't give them ideas, they're already trying to do away with school lunches to save money! Breathing is a prelude to sexual activity, these people are morons.
and yet you all are welcoming BIG GOV'T into our homes and lives with no issue... Hmmmmm?
WOW, when I was in high school we were yelled at for hand holding and oddly enough girls still got pregnant = / just saying that the only way to prevent underage sex is to bring back the chastity belt.. maybe add an electrical fence to it too. Stopping kids from holding hands is just going to make them want it more, lol! Can't wait to read the headline "Due to hand holding being banned... a kindergartener ran off from his/her group during line up at school". Have we really hit that low in society?!

Newt Gingrich wants to work with Democrats
As I noted in my Sunday column, the GOP presidential pack has three candidates who haven't served in office for five to 13 years. Newt Gingrich hasn't been House Speaker since 1999. Saturday morning while he was in town for the California GOP convention, comrades Marinucci and Garofoli and I sat down with Gingrich. I asked […] [Read More]
Newt Gingrich is "not sure that Mitt Romney's in my head"
Newt Gingrich gave an odd press conference after losing Nevada Saturday night. This was the briefing at which Gingrich said he was "not sure that Mitt Romney's in my head."

Questions I'd like to hear at GOP debate

Jon Huntsman: Newt, you are so smart.

Newt Gingrich, an anchor around the GOP's neck
Clinton whisperer Paul Begala could not be happier that Newt Gingrich is faring so well in the polls, as he wrote in a piece headlined, "Newt Gingrich Would Be a Godsend to the Democrats."

Michele Bachmann, serious candidate
Expect Matthew Continetti's piece in the Weekly Standard to boost the candidacy of Michele Bachmann. Now I have to admit, I have not been a Bachmann fan.

Obama Lite — with Republican parody

Michele Bachmann appeals to her gaffe-loving base

I am delighted to see you posting videos. Not only is it great to see you, it's also nice to hear your voice. A lot of what and how we communicate with posts gets lost without visual cues from the author. You have such a gentle way of speaking, so calm and reassuring that I will take my copy of The Myth of Alzheimer's off the shelf and give it another try.
At first, I found it sad, imaging a book called The Myth of Polio, or The Myth of Cancer. But if there's one thing I've learned over the years, it's to keep an open mind when it comes to science, research and the quest for knowledge.
Thanks for the reminder, hope you will post more videos in the future.
What a delight to watch you on this video and hear your voice! In the three minutes it took to watch this video, I found myself wanting to sit across from you and have a conversation with you! Delightful idea, delightful execution! Bravo!
Wow.. so much i'd like to say. What you are doing now is in honor and memory of your Dad, I know. My husband and I now have two small homey carehomes in honor and memory of my mother in law after our experience with her AD. Laypersons seem to be best able to understand that this disease really can't be understood on a grandios basis. It is an individual disease, each person acts different, sure there are some basic challenges, many that may come with aging;dementia, AD, aside.. but what keeps each individual happy, stimulated, and comfortable is people like you.. love, compassion, understanding and an occassional good cry are what will get us all through. meeting people that have shared the situation is most valuable. Godspeed!

"You will know everything when the time is right."
That's what Helen Magnus (Amanda Tapping) told her No. 2 man, Will Zimmerman (Robin Dunne), throughout Season 4 of "Sanctuary," (spoilers ahead!) refusing to tell him the plan she had set in motion while trapped in the past. As we saw in the two-part season finale, "Sanctuary for None," her secrets nearly destroyed the sanctuary and their relationship.
Wait, it did destroy the sanctuary, but she meant to do that. And that has opened up uncountable storytelling opportunities for a fifth season. That is, if Syfy picks it up for another season. There's still no word on that, but Tapping wants another season.
"A, I'm not ready to let it go, but also I think the concept right now could be so interesting," she told me recently. "I just think there are so many opportunities for us to revamp without losing our unique flavor, but I think it could be a really fresh, invigorating start. It already is with the new sanctuary. Just to explore that, it's beautiful."
Here's the last segment of my interview with Tapping from before Part 1 of the season finale aired, which includes all the spoilery stuff I didn't want to publish before. So if you haven't seen the finale, SPOILER ALERT!
Click these links for parts 1 and 2 about the finale:
Amanda Tapping teases "Sanctuary" season finale
"Sanctuary" wraps Season 4 with "final reckoning"
Leading up to the season finale, Will and Helen didn't seem to get along so well. They have fought a lot. I've said more than a couple of times, "I hate it when Mommy and Daddy fight." What's up with them?
In the playing of it I don't feel like [they fought that much.] I feel like there has been a lot of tension between the two of them, but I don't feel like we're always fighting.
I think what has happened is Helen—well you've now seen the final two episodes, so you understand that Helen has had this mission and is now in a position where she can actually finalize it. She is so driven by this singular mission that I think she can't see the forest for the trees and therefore tends to do things in such a bold and almost arrogant fashion. Will bristles at that because the relationship has changed because he knows she is up to something, but she is not honest enough or doesn't feel like she can be honest enough to tell him what it is.
So it creates this massive underlying tension between the two of them. She knows she is not being honest with him. He knows she is not being honest. But she doesn't see it as a problem because all will be right in the end. Whereas for our lovely mere mortal Will it's like, "That's not how human beings treat each other." But I think if it wasn't for their incredible respect for each other and the fact that they love each other and that they are so connected and so dependent on each other it wouldn't be as tense because nobody would give a shit. Do you know what I mean? It would be like, "Oh Helen is acting this way." Instead it's like, "God damn it!"
We have so many layers to this relationship and you throw a tiny little wedge in it and the whole thing starts to implode because it is so intense.
And he has known all along that she has had something going on, but he didn't figure it out to Part 2 of the finale.
Of course he does and she keeps saying, "Just give me time. One more time I need to not tell you the whole truth. Oh, wait; remember I said last time that that was the last time? This will be the last time. Oh, wait, wait, remember the last time and the last time that I said this was going to be last? Now it's going to be the last."
It's a lot for somebody to have to take where you finally say, "I call bullshit. You still aren't being honest with me lady. Come on."
Again, I think there is such a love for each other and such a mutual respect that I don't always see the tension in the playing of it. I know it's there, but I didn't look back at the season as a whole and go, "Wow, Will and Helen really didn't get along." I find those moments where they really did or I know the motivation behind why she did the things she did. But then I guess for an audience member for sure you'd be like, "Mom and Dad are still fighting." I know.
"Whose house are we going to live in?" Which will be an even more apt question by the end of Season 4.
That's so true. She hatched this whole plan when she was stuck in the past, right?
