I designed a fun series of photo-cards to celebrate the once-in-a-lifetime Thanksgiving/Hanukkah mash-up we'll be enjoying this year.
Hand-lettered and illustrated on a chalkboard backdrop. Customizable for families. All available on Etsy now.
Jordan Reid of Ramshackle Glam recently redesigned her lifestyle blog and asked me to create the logo. I was super excited about this project because I've been a long-time reader of RG. (I credit the success of my butternut squash soup with Ramshackle.)
I did what I love most for this logo: Lettered it by hand. I love the relaxed, earthy, authentic look of a charcoal pencil, and the crispness of a micron pen. (Which also happens to match the style of Jordan's blog). The tricky thing about working like this means if you "mess up" a line, you have to start over. So I will often use tracing paper to help me redraw the lines that do work, while exploring new options for other parts of the word. Then I scan all the pieces into Photoshop and connect them together.
Here is a close-up of the logo. Every little line counts.
And below is a screenshot of the final logo placed into the website. Another designer built and designed the website, so they incorporated my logo into the watercolor and photography background.
If you remember me talking about Ramshackle Glam before, that's because I also designed the promotional graphics for Jordan's new book coming out next Spring ("The New Mom's Haphazard Guide to (Almost) Having It All").
I recently learned that Halloween cards are huge in the greeting card industry. Like, up there with Christmas.
I grew up in an apartment building, so trick-or-treating was a lot of fun. One year I remember a family in the building took a Polaroid photo of us, dressed up in costume at their door. We didn't get candy, just a photo. I thought that was so cool. I was only a kid, but I already thought a photograph was better than a piece of chocolate.

Another fun holiday fact: This year, 2013, Hanukkah and Thanksgiving are falling on the same night! Yes, that's right. Double the holiday, double the food. Perhaps double the traffic driving to your in-laws.
But! Thanks to my new design, you only have to send one card: "Dreidels and Drumsticks!"

Wow! Beautiful designs and I did not know halloween cards were so hot… good to know! Thanks for participating in the blog link-up
I was recently commissioned to design a Bat-Mitzvah invitation for a terrific girl named Julia. I'm excited about this project because the theme of the big event is…BOOKS! As in, READING! How great is that?
The project is still in progress but I thought it would be fun to show you the "behind the scenes". Most people just see the end product and then ask me, "How did you do that?" There's never a one-word answer, of course, and it usually takes weeks of work. So here's a sneak peak into how a new invitation design gets put together.
First I start with sketching. I don't worry about the details, I just try to get a general feel for the layout of the piece. I then share the sketches with the family to get their feedback. I present a maximum of 4 layout options, sometimes less. If it's more than four, I find everyone starts to over-analyze and it's harder to make gut decisions. It's important to keep the ideas fluid at this point.
Even though the sketches below look simple and quick, there's a lot of brainstorming that happens before pencil touches paper. Usually I can "see" concepts in my mind, and then when I feel I have some ideas that might work, I sketch them out. Years of art training has taught me this approach. Most of the time, I know the end result will be a combination of the initial sketches. The illustrated details and the medium I choose will bring lots of life and magic to the piece. But that comes later.
In this case, Julia was deciding between sketch 1 and 2. My professional opinion was to go with #1. I could just tell it was going to be a classic, simple, unique design in the end. My plan was to illustrate the pile of books by hand and then paint them in water color or gauche. I knew the colors and texture of the paint would be really beautiful. I was also planning to experiment with hand-lettering her name. That makes a piece even more special and unique.
Julia was happy with my encouragement to go with design #1. So the next step for me was to spend time sketching book illustrations and the font style for her name. I imagined the rest of the text on the invitation would be a serif font, perhaps something like a typewriter or classic book font. It seemed fitting, therefore, to have her name carry most of the flourish.
I don't commit to one style of lettering too soon. I take the pressure off by just drawing, and redrawing the letters, imagining how they will live on the page.
Curvy letters, scripted letters, block letters. Anything's possible!
I like the look of hand-drawn so I probably will not be vectoring the book illustrations. That technique would mean scanning the drawing, and then "redrawing" it on the computer using digital lines. But in this case, the subtle texture of the pencil and the beauty of real paint feels more appropriate for a "book theme" party. I think the word I'm looking for is, authenticity.
This project is still in progress, so I'll update you soon on the next steps!
P.S. I recently designed a logo and character design for another Bat-Mitzvah event, which you can check out here.
Lilla Rogers Studio is featuring some of the artists who took her design class this past Summer. Today she posted my work on her facebook page! I developed a collection of cartoons about the experience, and she posted one of the cartoons I drew after a particularly challenging week drawing snails all.day.long. But I embraced it!
Want to see more? Have fun looking at more cartoons I drew about the class.
Oh, and I wasn't kidding about the snails. I drew LOTS of them.
The end goal was to design a book cover for Hans Christian Andersen's story, "The Snail and the Rose Tree". As it turned out, the snail in that story was not so happy a fellow.

Aberdeen Freshers Week
Ever since I am in Aberdeen, it has been great with activities. Almost every single day when I arrived, I had a little task up on my schedule such as getting done my University documents, meetings with advisers, buying the required stuff and etc. But it was not all about work as having a social life has great importance to me. The first day I came, I met a lot of awesome people like my flatmates. Although there were just 3 of us, Gabriel my American flatmate and Theron my China flatmate are really getting things together.
Surprisingly, I went to church for a few times for this week. Although I'm a free thinker, I do not really restrict myself to join the church activities and it was really great fun. I enjoyed the most for Ceilidh dance which is the traditional Scottish dance but too bad I didn't record it.
Well, quite a good start for me and everything seems to be going smoothly. This coming Tuesday would be a first lecture and like many others I am really enthusiast for the coming studies.

Judge rules MTA payroll tax unconstitutional
Related mediaNassau sues MTA over payroll tax MTA hearing Check on your commute Metro-North: The history
Travel deals
A state court on Wednesday agreed with leaders in Westchester, Putnam and Long Island, striking down a controversial payroll tax levied by the MTA by ruling the tax unconstitutional.
Nassau County filed the suit in 2010 while in the midst of a funding battle with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which was looking for ways to seal a $1.8 billion budget gap. Westchester, Putnam and Suffolk counties joined the lawsuit as plaintiffs, along with more than a dozen towns and villages from Long Island to Orange County.
The communities challenged the MTA's solution to its budget shortfall -- a payroll tax that charges employers in the MTA region 34 cents for every $100 of payroll. The tax violated the State Constitution because it changed the tax policies of individual municipalities for a purpose that did not benefit the entire state, State Supreme Court Judge R. Bruce Cozzens Jr. ruled.

| Feds fault Metro-North in track worker's death

"The MTA payroll tax is a special law, which does not serve a substantial state interest," Cozzins Jr. wrote in his decision. Because the state did not seek a home rule message, "this was passed unconstitutionally."
Reaction was swift among county and municipal leaders who opposed the MTA's tax.
"This is good news for Westchester County and its municipalities," Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino said in a statement issued Wednesday night. "The MTA payroll tax is essentially an unfunded mandate from Albany. In this case, we were allowed to challenge it. We did. And now we've won an important victory with the court's decision that this unfair burden on taxpayers was unconstitutional."
Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano called the ruling "a great victory for every taxpayer."
"This success sends a strong message to job creators that we will not allow the MTA to stifle economic growth and chase jobs out of our state," Mangano said in a statement. "This is a historic victory for tax relief and tax reform. I am proud that Nassau led counties and villages around this state to a tax relief victory."
An MTA spokesman was not immediately available to comment.
The tax was created in 2009 as part of a $2.3 billion state bailout of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority as it faced a record deficit.

Newburgh, NY
- Jim Leff Jul 3, 2011 06:08 PM
Quick hits in Newburgh this weekend:
Amistad 74 Mill Street (845) 569-7116 grocery in front, caverous eatery in back. Did not try food, but looked real good. Decent fresh pan dulce in front.
Uriel Tacos 49 Mill St. just up the block from Amistad. Looks bright and cheerful. Very good vibe. This may be "the place".
El Bandolero 466 Broadway (845) 561-5390 drab american/mex coffeeshop. Deserted, depressing, shallow Mexican menu. I stuck with my intuition and waited 20 minutes for my carnitas sopes (a good sign...you don't want fast sopes). They were awfully good.
Barnstormer BBQ (Route 17K Ames Plaza). Pulled pork decent but tough. Sauce toothache sweet, though. Corn bread an abomination: undercooked and super sweet. Ugh. [Edit: woops, this is in Highland Falls, not Newburgh]
re: georgeb
Didn't Barnstormer BBQ Move. From Yelp We used to go here all the time before they moved to Highland Falls. I updated the address and Phone for Yelp so we'll see how long it takes to see the updated address. Food is as others have said. Great BBQ for next to nothing in the way of price. Not a good place for a first date as you will need the paper towels they place on the tables!
re: ecustard
Yeah, sorry about that. I hit the new location in Ft. Montgomery. I thought it was quite a bit south of Newburgh, but my iPhone for some reason thought I was still within city limits.
tonyv, great bbq doesn't come with toothache sweet sauce. As for the toughness, that might have be an aberration, but the pulled pork I ate was about a C-minus by even merely "decent" North Carolina standards.
we were in newburgh last weekend and tried machu-pichu for the first time. We ordered the whole chicken, came with a big plates of fries, chicken rice and salad. Everything was great and the sauces for the chicken, which varied from spicy to mile, were also delicous. Four of us ate for about $35!
re: vinouspleasure
Yeah, I spotted it. But also a number of other Peruvians. Would be great to systematically try them all.
FWIW Peruvian chicken quality isn't always a litmus test; i.e. great Peruvian restaurants can have lousy chicken, and great chicken places can be lousy at all else. That said, great Peruvian chicken is great!
FWIW I like the looks of this place (Anna's in Newburgh...Greek):
re: Jim Leff
The review was not mine it was from Yelp. The only good BBQ places I have been to in the Hudson Valley are now closed Brothers in New Windsor and Big Daves in Goshen.I make my own now, will be making a full Brisket for a party this weekend.
So, I headed to Newburgh and Mill Street, with the goal of trying Tacos Uriel, but ended up being diverted to El Gallo Dorado, 53 Mill Street, on the basis of a small sign that said "Tamales". It's a small grocery with three or four tables, very neat and tidy. Sadly, no tamales today, they will have them tomorrow. Then, I noticed a sign for "Desayunos" (breakfasts) and they were still serving. I opted for Huevos con Chorizo. It came with rice and beans and half a dozen corn tortillas, and a garnish of fresh avocado. Very nice, very filling, and cheap.
I'll have to make another trip to try some of the other mexican specialty stores in the area.
El Gallo Dorado
53 Mill St, Newburgh, NY 12550
re: georgeb
Yup that sign lured me in for non-existent tamales, too.
re: georgeb
I stopped by again, and was told that tamales will be available at 8 am on Saturday, until they run out.
I also stopped in at the Amistad Bakery, and was told (by a young lady forming tamales on a table in the back) that they will be available at 6 am on Saturday, until they run out.
Guess who's going to Newburgh tomorrow morning!
re: georgeb
Real tamales, good tamales, are gone by noon. Great ones even earlier.
Can't wait to read your report!
re: Jim Leff
Sorry, got sidetracked by a friend with an emergency.... Will try again next Saturday.
re: Jim Leff
So, I made it back to Mill Street for the express purpose of buying fresh tamales at La Amistad Bakery. I arrived at a little past 7 am on a Saturday, asked for tamales, and was redirected to the back of the bakery, past racks of fresh bread and pastries, to the cafe in the back of the store. A young lady explained that there were three kinds of tamales available, green, red, and another type that I didn't understand. I opted for a dozen of the red tamales. She extracted half a dozen from the very large pot and placed them in a plastic bag. She then did the same with the other six. Happily, I returned to the front of the store to pay my $12.
The verdict:
Corn Husk, check
Dense Masa, check
Shredded Spicy Pork, check
I have been searching for this kind of tamale since my source in Kingston stopped production. I'm very happy to have found this.... Thanks, Jim, for the tips!
p.s. The cafe also seems to have an extensive menu of tacos, tortas, menudo, etc. I was so overjoyed with the tamales, I didn't even notice whether or not there were tables, etc.
Mill Street Cafe
3 Mill St, Nunda, NY 14517
re: georgeb
George, I'd have gotten a mixed dozen, to try more types! The third was very likely "rajas", a cheesey/vegetarian tamal with nopales. Either that or a sweet, brightly-dyed dessert tamal.
Photo looks great! Glad it turned out well! Oh, and there are a few tables!
Next time, why not return to El Gallo Dorado and see how their tamales rate? This sort of legwork is, after all, the essence of chowhounding! :)
re: Jim Leff
Yes, I know I should have the plunge for the mixed bag, but my jonesing for the red tamales was too strong for the first trip there... I'll be back (with my adventuring hat on)...
re: georgeb
I'll try to pitch in some, too. Looking for an excuse to go up that way....
Aren't there any other hounds who can help us canvas Newburgh tamales?
re: georgeb
out of curiosity what was your place in Kingston?
re: jaylowe
Cruz Market, near Abeel Street.
re: georgeb
I live about 2 miles from there. Ive stopped in a bunch of times over the years for various things and never even noticed they had tamales. Sad to know that i'll now be driving to Newburgh when i could have just driven over the roundout!
re: jaylowe
This was several years ago. She was making them on an infrequent basis for one of the restaurants. I would have to ask for them, since they were kept in the cooler. She eventually stopped making them, but they were outstanding. These in Newburgh might be just as good.
re: jaylowe
FYI, tamales are now available from Cruz Market again, perhaps for only a short time, so give them a call and see how good they are.
re: georgeb
awesome, thanks. We're coming off a weekend, so I'm supposing you got them on a weekend? They're often not made on weekdays
re: Jim Leff
These (at Cruz Market) were made on a Thursday, I believe... I bought them on a Friday. The tamales at La Amistad Bakery in Newburgh are not available until 7 am on Saturdays, and are sold until they are all gone. It's about a 30 mile trip for me, so I make sure that I get there early on Saturday morning. :)
re: georgeb
If u want really really good tamales try this lil store in the corner of southlander and overlook, a mexican co-worker sent me their cus his mother Iaw cooks them and the store sells them for her or something. I don't really know the name of the store but wow the tamales are amazing. So amazing that I go their at least very other weekend. If u do want to try them u have to go early because they go fast, I go like @9, let me know what u think if u do make it!
re: vinouspleasure
I can recommend Tacos Uriel. I tried one of their chorizo tacos... very tasty, lots of filling, spicy, but not too much, didn't even try the green salsa. I did try a large tamale there, in a banana leaf, moister than I am used to.
we ended up tonight back at machu piichu for more chicken. I didn't want to experiment too much with the kids in tow and my stomach had to survive a train trip to providence and back tomorrow.
However, we passed the ixtapa taco truck (of bourdain fame) and I couldn't resist. My kids and I shared the $5 taco special which includes four tacos and a can of soda. The pork tacos were my favorite, on the whole the tacos were good, not great, but for the price, it's a great deal. I could definitely snarf down four tacos for lunch if in the area but would prefer to pay more for better quality (and a place to sit).
BBQ News! Yippee!
Brothers opened again in New Windsor/ Vails Gate last month, and is better than ever. Wings are the best, with ribs not far behind. Even better than Billy Joe's Ribworks down by the Hudson waterfront, (but they have beef, too). and Barnstormer in Highland Falls on 9W. The Bros. tell me they plan to offer big beef ribs soon. Prices up a bit (were low before), but so is quality. Haven't tried Roundup on Rte. 9, Cold Spring, yet.
To update....Amistad is now selling authentic homemade Oaxacan black mole, and Oaxacan tlayuda shells (they say you still have to go up to Pougkeepsie for actual cooked Oaxacan food).

J Boutique was just OkPosted 03/10/2013
Pros: Pool
Cons: Bathrooms
It was a little rough around the edges as far as how clean the room is and the bathroom left much to be desired. The staff in room service could not understand English very well and sent the wrong food a couple of times but the food was ok. The roof top pool was very nice and the staff was friendly so all in all it gets 3 out of 5 stars.

- Nine years getting better & better!somethingfishyDined on 10/2/2014Piccola does not waiver from making certain the quality of food and service stays consistently high. Had their grilled fresh Salmon special with an Alegra Salad (one of their designs) and it was served perfectly. Truly a hidden gem that continues to be discovered by guests far and wide!Special Features:
- Authentic and Delicious!!!!OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 10/1/2014I was pleasantly surprised to have experienced such an authentic Italian trattoria in Canyon Country off the beaten path -- a true hidden gem in the Santa Clarita Valley. The food was superbe, the service was impeccable and the ambience was perfect!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- neighborhood gemxtinaand5Dined on 9/25/2014Amazing Authentic Italian restaurant in a strange part of town. Definitely one of the best restaurants in all of Valencia. Highly recommend if you enjoy finer dining. One of the few places you can get dressed up and have a nice classy meal, great wine, and excellent service without having to drive to Sherman Oaks.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pleasantly surprisedOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/16/2014The food and service was amazing. Going back again this weekend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always Consistent QualityMugsterDined on 9/13/2014Again, one of our favs for great eats, friendly waiters and yummy specials. Mom loves the lasagna. I go for specials ! Great seafood pasta amongst othersSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Under the air conditionerCanyonCountry123Dined on 9/7/2014The food was great, the service excellent. But as soon as we were seated, we could feel the cold air of the air conditioner right on us. We did not ask to change tables (there weren't too many available as the restaurant was almost full, as usual). Perhaps the restaurant could look into one of those clear plastic things that attach over a vent to deflect the air so it doesn't come directly on someone. Let me re-emphasize how Great the food and service was. It is certainly one of the finer restaurants in Santa Clarita.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Foodlover44Dined on 9/6/2014Been back 3 times and each time friends and family loved the food. Service is excellent. Very attentive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Find!OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 8/23/2014Great food, good service. Can be a bit noisy inside when it's busy.Special Features:
- Great Neighborhood RestaurantAmbianceVIPDined on 8/15/2014I was really impressed with the food taste and quality as well as the service.Special Features:
- NoisyLilyinDined on 8/10/2014The noise level in this restaurant was LOUD!!!! We couldn't even hear each other speak. Finally, a large party left, and it was better, but still extremely loud.Special Features:
- Excellent AGAINsomethingfishyDined on 8/9/2014Newly remodeled / enhanced, this Santa Clarita Valley Restaurant continues to build on its success! The atmosphere is like any you'd find in the Westside, Ventura Blvd, Santa Monica or Pasadena. Food is all homemade from appetizers to desserts. Good wine selections from Italy and California. Service was exceptional.Special Features:
- Amazing Restaurant!!FlyingDutchman43Dined on 8/9/2014I can't even think of the words to describe just how great our experience was. An extensive wine list that could please any palate. Excellent service from ALL (waitress, water-pourer, bussers, runners, everyone!). The food was to-die-for. The homemade pumpkin tortelloni melted in the mouth. And the cannoli? The perfect ending.Special Features:
- Always a great experience!MaryRDined on 8/8/2014We ve been here a few times & have always had a great experience. Had waiter, Luca, again - so incredibly professional, alert to our needs. We were in no rush, so he let us sit & enjoy our appetizers & wine without pushing us to order. Food has been great each time we've been - try the pizza appetizer, & fresh mozzarella! Every pasta & seafood dish we've had has been excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Place to dineSkipDined on 8/7/2014The food here is outstanding, The service could have been better we waiting way too long to get our bill and once it came it took forever for the waiter to pick it up. That's my only complaintSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not impressedluv4foodDined on 8/2/2014Well, I wanted to like this place, as it's close to home and was recommended by others.The noise level was very high, the tables very close to each other, and the wall I was looking at was only covered with wall board with holes stuffed with paper in them. No pictures, barely painted, very ugly. My ten dollar spinach salad was decent, but lacked dressing, the focaccia was dry and bland. The twenty four dollar Osco Bucco I ordered was horrible,so salty I could not even eat it. I don't think I have ever sent food back in my life, but I had to, it was so salty. I was embarrassed, and had to wait fifteen minutes for some pasta to replace it. So there you have it. I do have to say, the staff was very nice, but I will not be going back again.
- EXCELLENTcheyenne18Dined on 7/28/2014I WENT BY THE REVIEWS I READ ONLINE. WHAT A GREAT SURPRISE. REAL ITALIAN FOOD. WAITER WAS TERRIFIC. MY NEW FAVORITE PLACE HERE IN SANTA CLARITA!Special Features:
- Favorite local Italian restaurantMinnieDined on 7/25/2014Our go to place for a special occasion or with guests!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Still Good (slipping a little)Bolomk34VIPDined on 7/23/2014I've had the pleasure of eating here MANY times and I can honestly say that I've never had a bad meal here. The service has always been outstanding and the food has always been flavorful. This most recently dining experience (7/23/2014)...well... OK, there is some fairly extensive remodeling going on. That's not a problem. What does bother me is the prices for the food vs the amount of food. My gf and I ordered some of the "daily special" ravioli and...well at the equivalent of $2.00 per...? No...I'll think twice before I go back.Special Features:
- excellent in everythingPatritziaDined on 7/19/2014True Italian food, prepared by a very fine chef, Piccola Trattoria is superb in all ways. The wine was excellent and not too expensive. The service was very good. We think this is one of the best restaurants in the Santa Clarita Valley.Special Features:
- Best Italian in SCVOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 7/19/2014Authentic Italian food at a great price. The ambiance is fun and open -- we were able to chat with couples at the two adjacent tables to discuss wine pairings and dessert recommendations. Service was above average. The seafood was fresh and delicious, sauces were bold and flavorful and pasta was the best in town. Wine list was impressive for such a small venue. Although remote, the quality of food is worth the trip.Special Features:
- Enjoyable EveningFoodluvrDined on 7/19/2014The starter bruschetta was great as always. The server was very attentive. All four meals were very good. Have never had a bad dish at this restaurant. The Amarone wine was very good. This was our guests first visit and they were very impressed!Special Features:
- Not an ordinary Italian RestaurantNellyDined on 7/12/2014You've got to try this restaurant. A little pricey but the menu is full of wonderful variety. Went there for a special occasion. Recommend making a reservation if you plan to go at prime dinner time.Special Features:
- Piccola is a family favoriteJJfamilyfavoriteDined on 7/6/2014My family, friends and I always enjoy dining at Piccola Trattoria. It's a neighborhood gem. One of the very few excellent restaurants in Santa Clarita.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- NetzieDined on 7/2/2014Love the food, the ambiance, the staff and the Montelpuciano wine (not too many places serve it). I didn't think I'd find one that's comparable to my fave Italian restaurant in Pasadena.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- What a find!hateItaliantillnowDined on 7/1/2014Had s fabulous dinner in May at a Tuscan Restaurant in the Mid-Hudson Valley of New York. Imagine my delight at discovering this very fine Italian restaurant in our own backyard and ordering the same wonderful dishes that I so enjoyed last month. I am not an Italian food fan (except for pizza) so, "wow", what a treasure we have discovered. I guess I do like Italian if it is made the "Picolla Trattoria way. The four of us were all so very pleased with our food and with our very friendly and attentive waiter and busboy crew. We will be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AmbienceBeaches2014Dined on 7/1/2014We truly enjoyed the server, the service, the food and the value. The only issue was the background music. It didn't lend to the overall experience for us. Not a big deal, but a detail for consideration.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always Consistent!OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 6/27/2014Always eat here when I visit L.A. area. Always excellent Specials!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 399 reviews are from the Piccola Trattoria reviews archive.
- great foodOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/23/2014Have been here a few times and the service is usually exceptional although this past time was not the greatest. Food is always great,very authenticSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Piccola TrattoriaRSM45Dined on 6/22/2014If you like white table cloths, impeccable service, excellent food in pleasant surroundings, then this is the place for you. If you are looking for fancy presentation of your food, this is not the place for you. The focus here is on the quality of the food. I hate to use the word "home-style" because my home does not have this level of service. Piccola reminds me of the fancy restaurants of my youth where the food was tasty and servers were very attentive. And the desserts are divine: definitely do not skip these. Don't let the Canyon Country locations on Sierra Highway scare you off. If you are not in the neighborhood, Piccola is definitely worth the drive. I you are a neighbor, make sure you visit this jewel in your backyard.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always great food and serviceK9LOVERVIPDined on 6/21/2014Every time we dine here the service is outstanding ( on par with 4-5 star restaurants) The food is consistently delicious and fresh. The prices are fair. They always seem to come up with some unique outstanding desert. this time it was a pistachio dessert. A thin outer layer of pistachio covered dough with a creamy delicious pistachio molten center. YUM! These folks know how to cook and run a restaurant!Special Features:
- First VisitOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/16/2014Took my daughter here for her last night in town before she headed back to Kansas for college. It's a bit on the small side, but the outdoor patio area is quite nice and makes up for the smaller inside area. The staff was very friendly and attentive, and the food was some of the best Italian cuisine I've found in the Santa Clarita area. Even my daughter commented how delicious the food was. I'll definitely return!Special Features:
- A Nice Dining ExperienceTheDudeDined on 6/2/2014All four people in our party enjoyed their meals immensely. Some ordered off the regular menu and some ordered the specials and all were happy. Plus they have a nice wine list with some very reasonable prices. Top it off with a delicious dessert and it was the perfect night out.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

After Mirror Mirror released its second full trailer at the end of last week, Snow White And The Huntsman has responded in kind with the release of a pair of new images.
The first of the two shows Charlize Theron looking menacingly sexy as the wicked Queen, whilst the second shows Chris Hemsworth's huntsman leading the dwarves into battle.
And whereas Mirror Mirror's dwarves are a wise-cracking, cartoonish bunch, this mob are a much grittier proposition. A bunch of grizzled warriors looking for a worthy cause, the septet are played British character actors Ian McShane, Bob Hoskins, Ray Winstone, Eddie Marsan, Nick Frost, Toby Jones and Eddie Izzard.
As you can see from the new pic, their stony expressions and matted beards would suggest they've got a lot more in common with The Hobbit's vertically-challenged ensemble than they do with Sleepy, Grumpy, Bashful and co.
Directed by Rupert Sanders, Snow White And The Huntsmen looks to be shaping up into a proper, grown-up fairytale, with nary a second of slapstick to be found. If you only go to see one Snow White movie this year (and to be honest, one is probably enough), the smart money should be on this one when it opens on 1 June 2012.

Al Franken: God Spoke -- Open-ended Trailer from Pennebaker Hegedus FIlms
The makers of The War Room turn their cameras on yet another burgeoning political career. Al Franken: God Spoke is a cinema verit pursuit of Al Franken, shot over the course of two years, which follows the former 'Saturday Night Live' comedian turned best-selling author and political satirist, from his highly publicized feud with Bill O'Reilly over Franken's blockbuster 'Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them' to his relentless campaign against George Bush and the Right Wing in the 2004 election, and beyond. Says Franken, 'I take what they say and use it against them. What I do is jujitsu. They say something ridiculous and I subject them to scorn and ridicule. That's my job.'

New ICC structure will benefit us more: WICB
The West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) president Dave Cameron has given the assurance that the West Indies will benefit more from the recent changes in the governance structure of the International Cricket Council (ICC).
Cameron insists that the Caribbean team will be playing more cricket over the next eight years because of the changes. The WICB was one of eight full members of the ICC to vote in favour of the new proposal, which was approved at the ICC board meeting in Singapore earlier this month.
"The amended key principles that cover governance, financing and structure will allow the game to grow and develop in the Caribbean and in the Americas far more robustly and vigorously. The WICB have already secured commitments from major countries to play an increased number of matches and series over the next eight years," Cameron said.
Cameron, however, did not give details of the future tours and home series, explaining that the new financing proposals will allow the WICB to negotiate, on a bilateral basis, on tours to other countries from which it will earn direct revenue.
"Currently, the West Indies have the most unfavourable matches based on the Future Tours Programme (FTP) and you would notice that we have been playing Bangladesh, New Zealand every year for the last 2-3 years. That is why the WICB is set to have a massive deficit at the end of our financial year, ending in September," he added.
"The new proposals will allow the WICB to increase the number of profitable tours it hosts while decreasing the amount of unprofitable tours it is obliged to host under the FTP. The WICB will be able to negotiate fees when our team plays in an away series."

Surat: A security guard was beaten to death by a group of men in Surat for objecting to a bike being parked in a no parking zone.
The police have arrested three men while three others are still absconding.
25-year-old Shyam Yadav was posted as a security guard at a residential cum commercial complex in Surat's posh Ghod Dod Road area.
On Monday afternoon Yadav prevented two young men from parking their motorcycle in a no parking zone.
The youth later returned in a Santro Car with four others, and beat up Yadav so badly that he died of his injuries in hospital.
A colleague of yadav, Security Supervisor and eyewitness Dilipbhai said, "They came in a Santro car. They killed him by beating him mercilessly."
The police have now arrested three of the six youth, all of them sons of rich textile businessmen.
The police have also seized the car they had used during the attack.
Senior Police Inspector of Umra police station K M Desai said, "We have arrested three and are looking for the rest. All are spoilt youth and sons of rich textile businessmen."

Grade • F
DVD • Season 1 of "American Horror Story" was a surprisingly creepy, well-done tale of a family that moved into a haunted house. Season 2 was a mess.

Nearly unwatchable, the season is an amalgam of a creepy mental hospital run by a creepy Catholic nun; Satanic possession; a guy who's a cross between Dr. Mengele and Dr. Moreau conducting experiments on patients; a variety of lunatics; and outer-space aliens. Yes — outer-space aliens.
"American Horror Story: Asylum" ran off the rails in Episode 1 and never recovered. It was gross without being scary; ridiculous without being horrifying. Even Jessica Lange as the creepy nun couldn't save this from complete disaster.

RKO 86th Street Theatre

Here is a picture of the Gimbels East department store in 1971. This is the bland modern building that replaced the original RKO 86th movie palace, which was completely demolished in 1968/1969. The marquee lower left is the new smaller RKO theater that was supposed to make up for the loss of the original RKO on the site.
After Gimbels closed it stores, this East 86th location was stripped down to its steel skeleton and renovated as the current luxury apartment house. The theater became the Duane Reade that is there today. The marquee was finally removed in 2011.
The twin is here
It wasn't this theater. You may be remembering the small RKO replacement theater that is now Duane Reade. The original building at this site housing the RKO 86th Street was completely demolished in the late 1960s, then replaced by Gimbels East, which included a small RKO theater meant to replace the lost movie palace.
This was a really cool "twin "theatre.It was there for a long time.In the summer of 1978,my two older brothers,some little league freinds and myself saw"Jaws 2"on its opening weekend.I remember the police were there to help control the crowd.I also saw "Alien","Gremlins","Superman III",and "The Untouchables"at this great theatre.
Here is the complete schedule for the Jayne Mansfield tour of RKO theatres: Friday, 3/23/62—Franklin, Royal, Fordham, Coliseum, Regent, 86th Street; Saturday, 3/24/62—Castle Hill, Mount Vernon, New Rochelle, White Plains, Yonkers, Flushing, Richmond Hill, Madison, Bushwick, Kenmore; Sunday, 3/25/62—Strand, Tilyou, Dyker, Prospect.
Fifty years ago this weekend, Hollywood sexpot Jayne Mansfield made a three-day tour of twenty RKO theatres in Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, and Westchester to promote the current engagement of "The George Raft Story," in which she portrayed a fictional composite of some of his celebrated Hollywood conquests. The RKO 86th Street was Mansfield's last stop on the first night. She made a brief stage appearance at each theatre, with radio disc jockey Murray the "K" as emcee. Ray Danton played the title role in the B&W biopic, which was running on the RKO circuit with the B&W "Look In Any Window" as the supporting feature.
Anyone remember the old RKO on 58 St-3 Ave acroos from Alexanders
Stripped down to its steel frame, It appears that the old marquee now used for Duane Reade is being renovated or demolished. This marquee was for the smaller RKO movie house that was built into the Gimbels East Ibuilding that replaced the original RKO 86th. If I recall correctly, this smaller theater was supposed to make up for the loss of the palace.
Here's a link to some unnarrated newsreel coverage of an invitational screening of the Rock Hudson starrer, "Battle Hymn," at the RKO 86th Street in 1956: View link
This theatre was still open in October 1968 when it closed after playing "For Love Of Ivy". It was replaced by the Gimbels store and the RKO 86th street Twin.
WOW that first one jogged my memory!!! Thanks for the link! What a shame to demolish that beautiful theater and replace it with that awful Gimbels East building. Everything for the almighty dollar.
Some nice shots of two eras here.
It's a sketch for the corner vertical sign which is shown here and dates back to at least 1947, when the photo was taken:
View link
Swann Auction Galleries will be selling the design for the original corner sign of this theater on March 26. We don't have a date on it, but it's presumably from a renovation circa 1960-1975. An image can be seen here: View link
On Friday January 26, 1962, the Three Stooges (Moe Howard, Larry Fine and Curly-Joe DeRita) embarked on a three day promotional tour for their latest feature film, THE THREE STOOGES MEET HERCULES. They were accompanied by "The Herculean Giant" (almost 8 foot tall Dave Ballard) and popular DJ Clay Cole, who was one of the stars of the co-feature, TWIST AROUND THE CLOCK.
On Saturday January 27, they appeared at the RKO 86th Street at 4:55 PM.
The theatre's main entrance was on 86th Street, hence the name. Here are new links to previously posted images. The exterior view was taken in 1947 during the engagement of "The Late George Apley" & "Bedelia":

In July, 1959, RKO Theatres, by then a subsidiary of Glen Alden Corporation, sold the 86th Street and four other large theatres to a real estate syndicate called Theatre Realty Company Partnership, according to reports in The New York Times and Variety. No purchase prices were disclosed, but as part of the deal, RKO leased back the operation of the five theatres for a term of 25 years, with options to renew. In addition to the 86th Street, the theatres sold were the Fordham in the Bronx, the Albee in Brooklyn, and the Madison and Keith's Flushing in Queens.
Great story! Maybe on E-Bay you can find one?
At the age of ten I saw William Castle's "Mr Sardonicus" at this theater. Near the end of the film, the lights came up and Mr. Castle walked out onto the stage. He asked the Saturday matinee crowd of screaming kid's to hold our glow in the dark thumb cards up or down to decide the fate of the villain.
Mr Sardonicus died.
Mr. Castle signed autographs on the thumb cards in the lobby afterward.
I wish I still had mine.
He was a ten year old's Hitchcock.
Hollywood90038, they are listed under the original name of the theatre, look under the Strand.
After Marquee published the above photos, someone wrote to the editor that the photo of the mezzanine promenade is from the RKO Proctor's New Rochelle, and not from the 86th Street. Both theatres were built around the same time, so it seems possible that the photos got confused. I don't recall if Marquee printed a correction or not.
These have probably been posted here before:
RKO Proctor's 86th Street marquee:
The Mezzanine Promenade of the RKO 86th:
Both scanned from "Marquee." Notes for this theatre included:
The  theatre was designed by Thomas W. Lamb and opened on May 16, 1927 with 3160 seats. Operated by RKO from 1929. Redecorated in 1944. Demolished 1960s. Re the Mezzanine photo: "A favorite Thomas Lamb approach and here at the 86th Street with the elegant crystal chandeliers a truly outstanding room. With the potted plants and the fringed lamp shades this view obviously dates from the original opening."
Consumer fraud? In October, 1960, RKO and other nabes ran these two "foreign" features with the dialogue dubbed into English, but failed to mention it in advertising:
The mind boggles at what "special arrangement" was required for this "unusual entertainment scoop" in March, 1961:

If you've ever played a table top role playing game, you've likely experienced just how long combat can take. It's easy to get distracted talking with friends when it's not your turn. Or maybe the action on the table isn't too compelling. Or maybe the battle is proving to be too difficult and the players are struggling to take down a boss while constantly needing to heal. All of this adds up to a gaming session that is tiresome for the players and the GM, and sacrifices story for rote dice mechanics while the players work to defeat the monster.
But it doesn't have to be this way. Faster Combat got its start as a weekly online course that helped GMs recognize where their problem areas are with their gaming group, fix those, and how to develop engaging conflicts to freshen up a campaign. Spread out over 52 weeks, with a new lesson arriving weekly, GMs learn tips that they can slowly integrate into their games without information overload. It's quite effective, and I've learned a lot of great lessons that I've put into practice with my own group.
In addition to running a great site, the folks at Faster Combat have now turned their content into an ebook, giving GMs another option for learning how to speed up their encounters. The book is divided into five modules. The first helps you analyze your current gameplay to find the problem areas. Module two focuses on designing monsters, encounters and tactics. The third module focuses combat speed and preparation. The fourth module describes how to bring the story and drama of the module into the encounter. And the last module is a collection of tips and tricks to bring everything together consistently, and to learn what works and what doesn't.
In my own gaming group, we're playing Dungeons and Dragons Fourth Edition — specifically the first published campaign, Keep on the Shadowfell (PDF). It's a great introduction to 4e but gets bogged down in the dungeon crawl with encounter after encounter of somewhat generic monsters without really advancing the story. I've taken a lot of lessons from Faster Combat to tweak the story and make it my own, all while throwing more challenging monsters as the party and skipping other encounters that fail to move the story along.
For me, being a DM was challenging as I was the only one in my gaming group who was up to the task, yet I had never played D&D before. After dipping my toes in the Red Box, and a longer campaign fighting the Iron Circle in the Dungeon Master's Kit's packed in campaign, I felt I was ready to tackle something larger and with more role playing, but still felt there were aspects of running the game that was slowing us down. Being new to D&D, I was really looking for a resource that helped explain the role of the DM in a way that helped demystify the role. The Faster Combat guide has been one of the best resources I've found, and the eBook makes digesting the content easier and makes for a faster reference guide than the website alone was.
Going forward, I plan on writing my own campaign continuing our current story but set in the Shadowfell, and plan on rereading the Faster Combat book from cover to cover to help prepare. Being a GM is more than memorizing rules and stat blocks. Keeping your friends at the table engaged both in terms of story and in dice roles is challenging. But the lessons in Faster Combat are an incredible ally in making a gaming session enjoyable for everyone.
If you're interested, head over to Faster Combat to sign up. There are discounts on the book and the course running until April 5th with the eBook available for $15 or course for $20.

Great resource for pregnancy FAQs :D They cover tons of things like:
- My baby is breech. Is it true she might flip with the Webster technique?
- How early can a woman take a pregnancy test?
- When can I hear my baby's heartbeat?
- What is the difference between a spinal and epidural procedure?
- How can I look good in maternity clothes?
- Can acupressure help during labor?
- How can I protect myself from colds and flu during pregnancy - and what can I do if I get sick?
Check it out here: http://www.justthefactsbaby.com/experts/pregnancy
Here is an informal list of items that I find helpful whenever we have to go to the hospital to bring a new baby in to the world! Hopefully you will find this helpful too!
For Labor:
- Paper work - Picture ID, insurance card and any hospital / doctor paperwork
- Eye Glasses - If you wear contacts you won't want to wear those for a few days in the hospital?
- Toiletries - don't forget things like toothbrush and tooth pase, lip balm, deodorant, comb, hair ties, and makeup. You can expect to get a few basic amenities such as shampoo, soap and lotion from the hospital
- Some comfy clothes - Slipers / robe/ night gown
- Something to help you relax - like your own pillow (or pillow case), music, book, picture of loved ones, or even a stuffed animal
For your partner / labor coach
- Camera / video camera with Batteries, charger, film or memory card! You don't get to experience a baby being born every day, so you might as well record this moment!
- Toiletries if you plan on spending the night
- Comfy Footwear, you will be doing lots of walking around.
- Snacks, cause you will get hungry
- Money for parking, vending machines, or something from the gift shop!
Found this to be an interesting read! The author covers many things including:
- Morning sickness and Nausea
- Breast swelling
- Shortness of Breath and weakness
- Irritability and mood changes
- Lightheadedness
- Urination Frequency
Enjoy the article!
The first 0-12 weeks of a abigail's pregnancy is called the essential trimester. It is during this interval that a old lady's confederation experiences drastic changes during pregnancy. Discomforts and others may or may not be savvy by way of a replete lass during this era, to refrain from you against with it here are a rota of the most general changes and discomforts and how to effectively contract with them.
Morning sickness and Nausea

Yep, May Day! One of > the things that was > done in the Middle Ages on the first day of May was > to give Poseys. Anachronistic Attitudes By Bea Delicate pleasures (sweet peas) It has been my habit for many years to take small bouquets to friends and relatives, when visiting, -(as a small thankyou gesture), the bouquets consist of a central flower surrounded by rings of colour or fragrant leaves. I had not brought this habit into the SCA because Of its supposedly Victorian background, however for the royal visit I decided anachronism aside this was a pretty, nice gesture, that along with flush loos and electric stoves should be Embraced And guess what after a small amount of research it turns out, they are period Tussie mussies or as the magisterial Oxford dictionary put it tuzzy mussy defined as a spray of flowers a nosegay, a garland of flowers it first appeared in print in 1440; a tyte tust or tusemose of flowyrs or othyr herbys the root tus suggests a relationship to tussock while mussie a rhyme on tussie refers to the damp moss pressed around the stem to keep them fresh Tussie mussie by GA Laufer.1993. In the Victorian era the bouquets took on the name of word poesy as the language of flowers developed but even this has its roots in the herbals of the 14- 15-century The western tradition of floral symbolism, traditional cultural mythological, religious and medical combined with the Turkish selam or language of objects all contributed to the idea of sending encoded messages via floral tributes and in 1823 saw the first formalisation of this with the publication of flora domestica by Elizabeth Kent But the meanings originate from three sources The natural appearance or character, Cultural meanings And meanings arbitrarily assigned by early authors and editors of flower vocabularies and then faithfully followed by others The first two fit into the SCA so I propose to start a trend of flower presentations with in Ildhafn. The joy of tussie mussie is that once the arrangement has dried it form a small scented potpourri bundle to be tossed in the bottom of a basket or clothes chest Or they can be designed specifically to be placed in an armour bag An armour bag bouquet; first Id start with rosemary for remembrance- (please remember to wash your gamberson) then worm wood for protection (for travellers and from Moth larvae) maybe some yarrow to heal wounds, laurel to avoid wounds ( accomplishment), Oak for strength, lavender for luck, geranium for blood warming, meeting or comfort, and Borage for courage And why not assemble your favourite scents or flowers then translate A rose red; victory luck Lavender; luck happiness Sweet peas; delicate pleasures Lemon balm; Fun Geranium leaves; unexpected meeting preference I guess I should add clover for a bouquet of lucky fun or in my case Funny Luck =====
