Well it has been a few days since the single speed world championships and man was it fun. But onto current events. Its Thursday in San Francisco, that means Team Wonderbike Bicycle Ride of Destiny. We are meeting at Speedway Meadow (the site of Saturday's TDF) in Golden Gate Park at 6pm, bring friends, smiles.
Now I want to tell you about today. We rode across this:
And yes it was as foggy, cold, and windy as it looks. But over all it was super fun. upon crossing we descended to the sunny heaven of Sausalito. It was warm and full of delicious sandwiches.
Then after we went to Fort Point and I found a mannequin that looks just like Coleman. Take a look, picture one is the mannequin:
Now look at the real Coleman:
It's weird, they're like twins.
Anywho. Get ready for Saturday, it's going to get awesome.
Talk soon.

Chapter 2, Book of Ballyhoo for year of our bike 2008:
1: Stop number two landed us in one of the hot spots of the bicycle movement, San Francisco. And when we say hot, I don't mean the weather. The infamous Mark Twain quote about the coldest summer rang true last weekend...and coming from a warm and extravagantly sunny Colorado...man, it felt cold. Was it just bad luck? Perhaps an ominous sign? Is it possible that the autodustial complex has taken control of the weather?
2: Our goal is to celebrate a wonderful invention, and in doing so rally the support of new riders, and renew the spirit of those long in the skip tooth...San Francisco is arguably one of the best towns to get around by bike due to its tight geography, easy access to the BART, and loads of bikeways...they could always use more of course! But not all is well in SF...the city is stymied by a pending EPA review to prove whether or not bike lanes cause more pollution (WTF) and trail advocacy get tougher all the time as the concrete jungle growsthe. The world has gone mad my friends, and the only saving grace we have to offer is the clear head space you find in the saddle and perhaps an adult electrolyte beverage to stave off the catabolic effects of your efforts.
3: On this 19th day of the 7th month, human power again triumphed over horse power. Even in the face of adverse weather, we had a solid congregation of riders and fans find us in the heart of Golden Gate Park's old forest and revel in the sweet sound of bike bells and rubber on the road. 300 rode into a gale force wind fresh off the Pacific Ocean, and returned thirsty, and proud. almost 4000 people total joined in the revival of all things pedal-powered.
4: Over the course of 5 hours, we rode, we rejoiced, we imbibed, and we grew stronger. For all those rolling forth upon pedaled wings revivalated, and those new to the bike were indoctrinated...and you know it was good.
5: Here's what the show's collective basket looks like:
7: Last but not least, a huge high-five to all of the blood, sweat and tears contributed by the volunteers of our partner groups. Many thanks, and to all of you a due share in this shows success.

Thanks for the great turn-out, bike-out, get out and get down at Golden Gate! You San Franciscoans are hot - even when the weather is not. Post your pics and films here! We want to see 'em all.

I wasn't able to get access to a video camera, so hopefully this brief essay will do the job.
My trusty blue Volvo and I have been through a lot together, and, once upon a time, I really loved it. It's remarkably easy to think of a car as a living thing with whom you have a meaningful relationship. It has quirks. It alternately disappoints you and comes through in a pinch. There are things about it that only I know. Like most Americans, I felt a special bond with my car. Not any more. I no longer see cars as charming pets, or extensions of one's personality, or fashion statements. I see them for what they are: ugly, bulky, loud, smelly, hot, deadly machines.
They're very good at what they do, no doubt about it, but what exactly is that? Well, they take us places it would be otherwise unfeasible to visit, sure. I would probably not have had the chance to see many of the wild wonders of the Sierra mountains or the exhilarating alternate society of Black Rock City, Nevada, without a car to get me there. So don't get me wrong, I am very grateful for the opportunities this technology affords us. No, what I have beef with is the fact that this is not generally the role cars serve in America at all. On the contrary, people have elected to use these remarkable devices to get them all the places they could easily visit otherwise, but would prefer to do so with as little effort, discomfort, human interaction, and chance for a pleasant distraction as possible.
I'd heard all the standard criticisms of our wasteful, consumerist society before, but they never fully sank in until I decided to live it. One day, all out, no holds barred. The American Way. I got in my car and drove to the nearest Wal-Mart. I shopped among throngs of fellow people, all steadfastly avoiding eye contact that might distract them from their purpose. After checking out, I felt hungry, and remembered there was a fast food restaurant across the parking lot. Making sure not to expend any extra energy, I got in my car and drove the 100 yards to a nearer space. After exchanging money for food using as few words as possible (numbered meals!), I sat, ate, and threw all my layers of packaging, napkins, and advertising into the only receptacle available. What really fascinated me was the television droning away on the wall of the restaurant, magnetically drawing the eyes of the restaurant's patrons and lulling us into a kind of trance, ensuring that we wouldn't dare strike up a conversation with strangers. My last stop on my journey was to the belly of the beast itself: a gas station (don't forget to stock up on plenty of processed goodies while you wait!).
The whole experience was deeply unsettling, but also fascinating. I had never fully realized that this is the way most of our country lives, without questioning it. And I had never really looked at for what it is. Here's my point: We are living in a dystopian society, and the car is front and center. The car is our icon, and the enabler of our repulsive lifestyle. The car represents every individual's personal fulfillment of the repulsive, archaic, and quintessentially American notion of Manifest Destiny. The car epitomizes our culture's wastefulness, thoughtlessness, and complete unwillingness to simply greet the world and find out what it has to offer. When you walk or bike somewhere, you never know what you might encounter along the way. When you drive, you're there. Ruthless. Efficient.
Most of the criticisms of automobile usage focus on potentially catastrophic future effects for the environment, the economy, and foreign relations. And these dire warning are all absolutely right. But in my mind what's worse is the societal damage that is already being effected every day, RIGHT NOW, by our car-centric culture. And I don't want to be a part of it any more. I'll find a way into the mountains when I need to go. It might be a bit less convenient, but no way in hell am I having the very icon of our society's ills staring me in the face with those tempting puppy-dog headlights, begging me to treat it as a friend in exchange for a little bit of convenience.

Hi there friendly neighborhood critters, este, creatures! I want to share with you how we celebrated Raviv's birthday at school last Thursday. All in all I think prep was just two days. Talaga! Like I said, last week was super busy:
- Monday – Raviv's field trip + Brain Train Christmas Party
- Tuesday – habol ng work sa office + review ng Rejoinder ng kaso namin; then in the afternoon ginawa 'yung invitation ni Raviv. I was so lucky because our student assistant Jonathan Austria (who happens to be a amateur great layout artist) dropped by, so hinugot ko siya to create my concept of Raviv's Spider-man-themed invitation. It's simple yet many complimented it. Here it is:
…which I put in a brown paper and sealed with a Spider-man sticker.
- Wednesday – went to DOJ to file our Rejoinder sa case namin, and then when I got home at about 4 p.m. that's when I started preparing for Raviv's birthday celebration, which was on the following day at 9:40 a.m.!
Grabe no?!? Bad trip talaga 'yung kasong 'yun! Nakakaubos ng time. I want to rant about it more but I want to stay positive. After all, we are talking about my son's birthday celebration. Plus, I've already surrendered this case to the Big Guy up who knows everything.
- Anyway, here are some photos of Raviv's simple Spider-man themed birthday celebration at school:
Why the balloon? Nako, nagkamali ng balloon na inilagay 'yung saleslady! I ordered 30 Spider-man mylar balloons like these:
and four of these small balloons. Binaligtad! I discovered late that she put only four of the Spider-man-shaped mylar balloons and 30 of the round ones. Hay naku!!!
By the way, these are the contents of the lootbag:
Contents: Spiderman balloon, jigsaw puzzle, M&M's milk chocolates, homemade chocolate chip cookies + snickerdoodles, bath gel, fruit pudding gelatin and tiny fruit-flavored juice
Nako, the cakes were rushed! Since my sched was so hectic I totally forgot the cakes! As in I told the cakemakers only a few days before! Buti na lang they were so nice to singit my request!
The mini-cupcakes were from Bites, whose owner is my blogger friend Maggie Agustin.
And this amazing Spider-man cake was from another friend, Iris de Ramos of Rainbow Confections:
What I love about Bites and Rainbow Confections is that aside from the cakes looking pretty, they are yummy too! These days kasi there are lots of cakemakers who just focus on the aesthetics, kebs na kung lasang papel ang cake. But not Bites and Rainbow Confections.

Friday is always the most important practice for NFL teams playing on Sunday, and for the Cincinnati Bengals, today was even more crucial with several starters having yet to practice this week in light of Sunday's Wild Card matchup with the San Diego Chargers.
It looks as though they have a chance to go into Sunday with all of their key starters healthy as cornerbaxk Terence Newman and left tackle Anthony Collins returned for the first time this week:
Collins and Cook buckled up for @Bengals practice

T. Newman back and buckled up
— Geoff Hobson (@GeoffHobsonCin) January 3, 2014
T. Newman bouncing around in first action since Dec. 8
— Geoff Hobson (@GeoffHobsonCin) January 3, 2014
Collins is coming off an ankle injury suffered Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens. Newman hasn't practiced in about a month, after suffering an MCL sprain in the Bengals' Week 14 win over the Indianapolis Colts.
It also looks like center Kyle Cook will be ready to start Sunday. Cook's foot was so bad Monday after injuring it Sunday that he was placed in a protective boot and on crutches. He was back to walking under his own power Wednesday, and practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.
Rookie tight end Tyler Eifert was also at practice today after practicing Thursday for the first time in two weeks. A stinger he incurred up in the Bengals' Week 16 win over the Minnesota Vikings had him sidelined for much of the the past two weeks.

Aircraft maintenance labor charges will be largely exempt from Florida state taxes effective January 1, according to the Florida Aviation Trades Association (FATA). Airplanes with an mtow of more than 2,000 pounds and rotorcraft with an mtow of more than 10,000 pounds are covered under legislation introduced and passed in mid-March during the 2012 Florida Legislative Session.
FATA worked with the Florida Airports Council and AOPA to change the language of the statute to clarify that FBOs and MROs are exempt from the "intangible tax."

Mai Japanese Restaurant

7731 Colony Rd, #f3
Charlotte, NC 28226

The longer, more diverse Japanese menu is a hit.(Full review)
He renamed it to Mai because Yotto at Ayrsley got a bad rep after being shut down by the health department, then receiving less than stellar sanitation grades which is not good for a sushi place. I saw the ads for Mai being a "new" place at Ayrsley so I went to check it out. While the sgn on the outside may say "Mai", the papers and menus they had all over the door still said "Yotto" two monthers after the name change. I walked into the vestibule, noticed a very foul order like rotting fish and the same inspection grade and date on the card from when it "was" Yotto (90). Sushi places need to be held to a higher standard.
In fairness, the Yotto/Mai reviewed here on Colony has always received very good sanitation grades but I have not eaten there.

This is a template that can be used for a quiz on any topic. There are 9 questions, 3 of which are picture questions.
Please provide a rating.
This is going to be so useful - thank you
I love that the students can add their own questions and answers - Great for teaching IF STATEMENTS to year 7
Will give this a go, thank you for sharing
I am intrigued by this form but I honestly cannot figure out how it would be of value. Is it meant to be printed? What makes this better than using a word processing template? I would probably change my rating if someone could explain how to make this of value.
Also, if we are all teachers here (I presume), then how is there a misspelling on the first page of the file? "Your" vs. "You're".
Thank you, it make my life easier and very easy to adapt

Throwdown with Bobby Flay
Bobby lost the Wedding Cake Throwdown, but it came real close, he did real well and he is not a baker.
The dumpling episode was recently aired... I was craving dumplings after watching the show. Also, the dumpling chef was freely talking about her "secret" recipe.
BTW... Bobby lost that episode, but he did make wrappers from scratch while the competitor used what appeared to be store-bought gyoza wrappers.
i watched the grilled cheese sandwich episode yesterday. it got me thinking about that chowhound article about ten unusual grilled cheese sandwiches, and you can bet i'm going out to buy some prosciutto and fig jam today to put together something interesting for dinner.
that's what i like about this show: it's like a combo of cooking creativity inspiration, and also learning about a cool place to eat if i'm ever in that part of the country. plus, bobby is just a charming dude.
re: beelzebozo
They all make me hungry, but nothing quite as much as that grilled cheese one. That was legit!
Do you know the name of that restaurant in So Jersey? I wanted to look it up to see the full menu- some of it sounded off the hook good.
re: yankeefan
It's Pop Shop
729 Haddon Ave
Collingswood, NJ 08108
Wish it were there when I lived in Collingswood!
re: beelzebozo
one thing that i appreciated from the grilled cheese episode is that bobby actually looked embarassed when he won. He felt bad for the guy. Knock him as people may, that was pretty upstanding in my book.
re: cambridgeMike
Yeah. Its pretty clear that the thing is rigged for the other person to win and that Bobby wins "just enough to make it seem real". That was the first time I'd seem him that visibly embarassed though. Bobby usually seems like a Grade A expletive but at least in this show he comes off as a much nicer guy.
re: cambridgeMike
Bobby was embarassed! I was there, at The Pop Shop, the day he showed up for the throwdown. I live in Collingswood and take my kids there quite often. I expected him to be a real snob but was impressed with how humble he seemed to be when I had the opportunity to meet him. And for the record, I got the scoop from the owners and they really were not expecting him to show up. The food network was pretty sneaky about it all!
re: beelzebozo
I've heard Flay called a lot of things but 'Charming' was never one of them.
re: Withnail42
it's a brave new world.
re: beelzebozo
That maybe. But charming? Still no.
Not wild about this show. It is cringe-worthy.
I think many of the regular folks being challenged have an unfair disadvantage. When Bobby wins and looks embarrassed, to me it looks like an "Aw Shucks" act on his part.
Except for the firehouse chicken cacciatore throwdown where Bobby used the same budget as the challenger, he unfairly tips the scales with an unlimited budget. (No surprise the regular guy won when both were on an equal footing).
In the lasagna challenge, the ordinary folks make a standard, basic lasagna as a specialty. Yet Bobby brings one in with an expensive meaty braised short rib ragout.... Like shooting fish in a barrel. Had the challengers known what they were up against they likely would have been able to kick things up.
Some contestants are able to change midstream, while others can't. In the Philly Cheesesteak contest, Tony Luke guy would have lost if he stayed with the standard sandwich he was demo'ing.....but when he saw Bobby coming in with expensive steak and accroutements, he sent his assistants back to the restaurant to bring out the broccoli rabe and provolone. He squeaked out a win. Would have lost with his basic one though.
In the doughnut challenge, you could see the contestant was visibly upset because he was expected to whip up contest worthy doughnuts outside of his professional environment, so he only agreed to the challenge if he could use doughnuts made at the plant, and not make them live. Smart move.
It's not a fair challenge unless both teams have similar constraints.
re: TrishUntrapped
Trish brings up an interesting point. What is the purpose of the show? To show off local business with traditional and emotional ties to the community? While helping these folks gain a measure of fame? Or is it to showcase Flay's chops and originality within the constraints of a traditional dish?
I don't think the producers actually decided, it was decided for them. If Flay had to do it the same way as the selected contestants with the same budget and made the same dish, he would get killed because there is no way he had the experience that these folks have, years of making the same thing allows you to have certain insight about what you do. So they allow Flay to be more original. IMHO, his accoutrement are occasionally interesting but mostly ill considered, which is why he loses, when it comes to a neighborhood place, its a lot more about the emotional experience of the taste rather than the adventure of deconstructing the dish.
So if Flay amps up his dish too much, he looks like a typical NY a** trying to be the big bad chef from the big city. If he basically does what they do, its boring, and he could never do it better. To me the whole show is a plug for the contestant.
re: Phaedrus
"What is the purpose of the show? To show off local business with traditional and emotional ties to the community? While helping these folks gain a measure of fame? Or is it to showcase Flay's chops and originality within the constraints of a traditional dish?"
re: TrishUntrapped
Yes, Bobby does do a gourmet touch on most of his dishes (as well he should) but he usually loses because the judges tend to go with the traditional take on things, I think intentionally. Saying that Bobby has an unfair advantage really doesn't hold up if you look at a majority of the episodes.
As far as for who SHOULD win, I don't think it's fair to say unless you're there doing the tasting. Bobby is a great, creative chef, and I like that he tends to bring the spiciness, but these people are being picked for a reason.
On the whole, I would say this is definitely one of the better shows now on FN (which, like MTV and music videos, seems to be less and less about cooking, let alone cooking done by real chefs like Mario, rather than "Sandra Lee").
re: TrishUntrapped
Agreed. I remember one meatloaf episode, I think, where the guy actually tells Bobby what his cost is per plate and even Bobby is visibly shocked at the low number.
The entire premise of the show - that Bobby Flay can beat the best of the best at their own games week after week demonstrates a cringe-worthy amount of hubris on Bobby's part.
re: akq
Akq, LOL. You really have no clue about this show or Flay at all. Hubris? First off he knows going in he has a 1 in 4 shot of winning, and after three years he does better than that maybe winning 30% of the time.
Second, if you've seen his interviews he explains how he loves that show because he gets to spot light others and make them look good. And he does. And no other FN show covers these people but his show.
He has one day to come up with something that might compete against a dish that has been perfected over decades by someone, and he goes against the very best.
Hubris? Sorry, akq, you are 180-degrees backwards on the intent of the show and the personality of the host.
re: HarryK
Actually, this is the most humble and personable Flay has been since he started doing FN. He was an insufferable little p___k when his first grilling show was on, the one with the useless woman hanging around the set along with the usual coterie of sycophants. The show he had with the older guy was great because that guy put him in his place. And then something happened, he quit being such a jerk and he is actually watchable now.
re: HarryK
Wow, you bought all of that hook line and sinker, huh? If the intent of the show were to spotlight the other chefs, why not have Bobby learn their recipe? The point of the show is to have Bobby Flay devise a recipe of his own, with unlimited budget and then surprise a chef who usually doesn't have the opportunity to change any part of his or her recipe on the spot (cheesesteaks excepted, for instance).
The show would be unwatchable if Bobby never won - and that is, I think, what demonstrates hubris - that Bobby Flay will go on national television with unfair advantages of unlimited budget, preparation and the element of surprise to beat a chef who is doing their best at what they do within normal business confines (profit margin, sourcing, etc.).
re: akq
Uh-huh. So the person has a time-tested perfected dish that is nationally recognized and written up for years ... and here Flay has to come with his own variation (can't be the same thing) to compete against this perfected dish in a day ...then he has to travel into their backyard, surrounded by their staunchest supporters and most crazed fans ... oh yeah, sure, that's definitely the epitome of "hubris" .... Btw, I've got some lovely swamp land you might be interested in buying. :)
re: HarryK
Harry, your point is well taken, but given the set up of the show, with all the production and the big to do about the FN coming in to film, and Flay being Flay, it smacks of big bad NYC uber chef coming into your little insignificant town to teach you a lesson. Flay does do a whole lot to counter that perception, which is to his credit. I don't think this was accidental, its dramatic license that FN promotes because it gives this David versus Goliath flavor to the show and suckers people into watching.
re: Phaedrus
I will give you this much. I felt more sorry for the first season folks as some of them felt "Punk'd". But the longer the show is on, it seems like more and more the folks they "focus on with their own special" seem hip to realizing it's part of a Throwdown. You can see that in the episodes of the past year. Often they're like "I knew this was coming" or "I had that feeling" or "Damn it IS Bobby Flay". Think that helps take the jilting edge off and makes it more of an expected and therefore more welcoming experience for the competing cooks.
Wow, I've only seen a few episodes, and this is news to me - I thought it was fixed and Bobby always lost. The show is about showcasing local culinary heroes who are really good at what they do - I always thought the "throwdown" part was just a stupid gimmick. He *should* feel embarrassed when he wins, because when the home teams loses it means either they choked under the pressure (I would), or shouldn't have been featured in the first place.
No, really, I can't believe they actually let Bobby win sometimes. Not that I was about to start watching the show either way.
re: nfo
I forget the actual %age but it is somewhere in the 20-30% range that he wins. I still think its fixed, and that he 'wins' just enough to make it believable.
I don't buy for a second that its a *real* competition, I think its there to do a variety of things (see my snarky 'yes' answer to phaedrus above):
- Advertise some good local eateries & cooks
- Show Bobby's takes on some classic items
- Encourage people to get "into cooking" something well

Watching the FN less and less lately, I will watch this show occassionally, and always root for the 'home town' team. I truly feel for these people...especially the puffy taco girl..she was told she was filming a pilot. Even though she won, that has got to be maddening, and a major let down.
Being local to the Philly area, I was shocked to see Tony Lukes as the self-proclaimed cheesesteak czar. He is most known for his pulled pork sandwiches locally, maybe coming in 3rd or 5th on the list for steaks depending upon whom you ask. He makes a very good sandwich, don't get me wrong, and is an institution in Philly, but seeing him as the throwdown cheesesteak cemented it in my mind.
Bobby's supposed to go up against the best in the nation? And Tony's trying to set up chains across america.
An advertising agenda. I'm curious if the contestants get paid for their appearance?
And on a recent episode Bobby did steak with a marine, and planned to do filet. But changed his mind because of the heat that day. But it was okay, because he had traveled there with coolers and coolers of ribeyes and T-Bones. The challenger was cooking chuck. And commented that from the size of bobby's steaks, they looked like they came from a brontosaurus. I'm amazed if he if always carries spare proteins like that.
re: sommrluv
This is really sad...the mother of the lady who was featured in the puffy taco episode was murdered not too long ago.
re: jgg13
Agreed, this does a good job at promoting smaller businesses. I myself have stopped for the mac n cheese when in philly because of the show and would like to stop at the grilled cheese joint next time Im in that section of South Jersey.
I think it is in a good fun and most take it that way except for the miserable donut guy who just pouted. time to get over it and have fun dude.
Wikipedia has a good breakdown and I think it does fall in that 20-30% range.
re: yankeefan
the donut guy came across like such an arrogant ass.
I don't understand the apparent empathy some viewers feel about the throwees being told that they're being filmed for a pilot. First of all, many pilot episodes never air and thus are simply a one-shot deal (e.g. the "Global Frequency" pilot that leaked on the web). Second, the pilots almost always have stupid titles clearly suggesting that the throwees are each featured for one episode, rather than getting a whole season-long series about, say, puffy tacos or ice cream sundaes ("This week, we will feature the hot fudge sundae for half an hour. Next week, we will talk about the caramel sundae for half an hour"). In the end, they are told that they are being featured on the Food Network as being among the best at what they do, and they end up being featured on the Food Network as being among the best at what they do. It's good publicity for them when they don't freak out too much, like the doughnut dude (Google Mark Israel and Throwdown). Presumably, the people being featured have had a lot longer to perfect their recipes than Bobby Flay, and many of them have already won contests or awards for their recipes, so arguing that it's not fair for these folks to compete against a guy who's had days to prepare seems a little foolish. In terms of the contests, it's usually seems to be set up to favor the home team.
Bobby Flay seems to approach each challenge from the perspective of a reasonably famous restaurant chef from New York City who specializes in grilled meats and Southwestern flavors. In terms of the ingredients and budget, it's not like he whips out truffles, caviar, o-toro, and jabugo ham for every challenge, despite the gripes about budget. It seems like he approaches each dish asking himself, "How would *I* prepare this dish?" rather than, say, "How would a hillbilly housewife prepare this dish?" (http://www.hillbillyhousewife.com is a great blog, by the way....) When he realizes that his technical abilities won't match those of the contestant, he "packs it full of flavor" or some other Flay-ish phrase. That approach seems reasonably true to himself.
I believe that I once calculated the win rate at around 30% in another thread.
Tony Luke's broccoli raab steak-and-cheese is apparently his signature dish, so I don' think that it was too much of a change for him to whip it out.
Basically, if you don't like Bobby Flay, you won't like the show, and you'll look for any excuse for take him down, so stop watching it. For the rest of us, it's a reasonably entertaining show, and it beats a lot of the other recent crap on Food Network.

You can say that about the entire web site.
re: Phaedrus
There are very few posts here that actually make me laugh out loud but this was one. I like some of the seriousness on this site, but boy do I like the humor when it crops up.
As for Bobby, I've been watching him for a long time and I do think this show shows a real different side of him. Occasionally the arrogance shows up but for the most part I find him really likable and sometimes humble.
re: youngho
In the more recent episodes that I've seen, it seems that they tell the "throwees" that they're going to be filming for a Food Network special, rather than a pilot. That seems like they're trying to cause less of a letdown for them. In the cupcake episode, the woman said that she was expecting Bobby Flay to show up, so I guess people are getting more suspicious.
re: youngho
Wow, I tried hitting on a couple of your points earlier but couldnt have said it any better.
thank you youngho, well said!
re: youngho
Err, I don't like Bobby Flay but I like this show ;)
re: TrishUntrapped
Yes, thanks.
In terms of the lasagna episode, Mark Bove from that Throwdown has a blog at http://blog.boves.com in case anyone wants to read about how Bobby Flay's unfair use of ingredients affected the Boves' business and the demand for their lasagna. Tony Luke, whose signature dish has the broccoli raab, has a rather prominent ad in the upper left-hand corner of his website. In his own words, ""When I did the 'Throwdown! with Bobby Flay,' we received e-mails from all over the country. I had people fly in from Texas. People made special trips to come down just to taste the food," he said." Did someone ask about whether the show highlights local business and gives them 15 minutes on national television?
And the doughnut guy..."a smart move"...that's one way to interpret his behavior...I can't say that I'd heard that one before...
Anyway, if it's okay, perhaps we can just agree to disagree on some things. In the meantime, this beholder's eyes will be avoiding the cups of tea offered by the other fine programs on the Food Network, like those featuring Sandra Lee, Ingrid Hoffman, or the Neelys, not to mix metaphors.
On another note, I thought the recent dumpling episode was kind of fun. I think it had the most Asians in one episode on the Food Network since the original Iron Chef! I assumed that Sohui Kim was just much more methodical about rolling out and cutting her dumpling wrappers/skins than Bobby Flay, since they showed her preparing the dough for the wrappers earlier in the episode. I honestly doubt she would use store-bought ones.
re: youngho
Speaking of the original Iron Chef, the Fine Living Network is going to start showing it.
If memory serves, I thought this was one of the stupid channels included in my cable package that I would never watch...
Never say never. Can't wait to see Sakai san.
re: TrishUntrapped
great to hear, cant wait. Fine Living is actually pretty good- give some of those shows a chance.
well said again. If I owned a restaurant, Id love to have them come and challenge me and put me on a show watched by millions.
I saw the wedding cake episode too.
The other night I watched the Chocolate Chip cookie throwdown. Bobby and his team lost but did you see the HUGE chocolate chip and walnut cookies the contestants made? They looked delicious! I knew they were going to win. It was a good show.
Great comments. Seems like one's interpretation of the setup depends on what you think of Bobby Flay. My take on the show is that the regional specialty food experts have a lot more at stake than Bobby Flay. These people have their egos wrapped up in whatever food they have been making for decades. Then you have some national figure zooming to challenge your identity, on your turf. Flay has the advantage of tweaking the flavor profiles in a food lab while you are locked into dishing up what you always dish up.
It's the asymmetric stakes of the show that bother me the most about the setup.
re: Minger
I like Bobby Flay, I think he's amusing.
Chef's have big egos.
The one point of contention, yes, many of the contestants are being told they are filming specials, but at least one person, the puffy taco girl comes to mind, was being told she was filming a pilot.
So that personally bothered me.
And I was furthur bothered that they showed the episode again this weekend. I tuned in to the ending because I ASSUMED they showed it because her mother was tragically killed very recently by a local person in a botched robbery, and I was curious if they were going to a dedication at the end, or something more.
NOTHING. I was very surprised. But they made sure to include all of Flay's restaurant plugs. Obviously, that's not Flay's fault, but it just reflects VERY badly on the FN. Who in the world is controlling PR over there?
I love Bobby Flay…and believe me, you would too of you lived a long time outside of the US and were subjected to TV that is US-style 50s and 60s level—drivel, driveL, drivEL, driVEL, drIVEL, dRIVEL, DRIVEL! Its TV!!! Give thanks for what you have!

Microsoft patches last major ATL bugs
Latest fixes for code library typo close 'last big attack vector,' says researcher
By Gregg Keizer
October 14, 2009 04:08 PM ET
Computerworld - Microsoft yesterday wrapped up a months-long job of patching a critical bug it accidently introduced in a crucial code "library," one of the researchers who uncovered the flaw said today.
"They finally released the last patch of Microsoft products yesterday, at least the last for the big attack vectors," said Ryan Smith, the principal research scientist for the Denver-based security consultant company Accuvant. "The patches for [Microsoft] Office closed the last big attack vector for the ATL flaw."
Smith and researchers Mark Dowd and David Dewey, who work for IBM Internet Security Systems' X-Force team, uncovered the bug and first publicly demonstrated how it could be used to attack PCs using Internet Explorer (IE) last July at the Black Hat security conference. Microsoft convinced the trio to stop publicly disclosing their findings until it was able to rush users a pair of emergency updates, which it delivered the day before the Smith-Dowd-Dewey Black Hat presentation.

If downtown Fort Wayne seemed livelier this past weekend than other festival kick-off weekends, it was no accident. A concerted effort to draw crowds to the central city is showing great success – to everyone's advantage.
Hours before crowds gathered for the Three Rivers Festival parade, a block party organized by A Better Fort drew about 3,000 young people to the 800 block of South Calhoun Street. Shane Araujo, a co-founder and board member for A Better Fort, said the goal is to encourage young people to improve their city and make it their home. A key part of that, he suggested, is creating a vibrant downtown.
The block party, the group's second such event, was a fundraiser for Mad Anthonys Children's Hope House, but it was also a tool for promoting downtown businesses and musicians and introducing young people to all the city offers. Araujo, a Bishop Dwenger High School graduate, said he once had classmates who never ventured south of State Boulevard and didn't realize what downtown offered. He said events like the block party introduce them to central city businesses and venues.
If they're down here for music, they might see Pint & Slice and think that's where they want to go next time they're looking for pizza, he said.
A Better Fort's efforts have been supported by the Downtown Improvement District, the city of Fort Wayne and downtown businesses. Friday's event was lively but created no problems.
Everyone is here to listen to the music and dance, Araujo said. The type of (electronic) music promotes fun, love and dancing – it's just the kind of crowd you get.
Festival-goers are a reliable source of energy for downtown Fort Wayne, but events like Friday's House4AHouse block party promise to sustain year-round activity. Parkview Field events, Rock the Plaza concerts, the weekly Lunch on the Square event each Thursday, Buskerfest and more are showing results. Downtown Fort Wayne is more than just a once-a-year festival site.


text: Dental caries is the most common disease of the teeth and is one of the most widespread diseases in humans. The percentage of widespread of dental caries is particularly significant in less cultured people, giving rise to the claim that the creation and distribution of dental caries is closely related to culture and its influence.The biggest reason for dental caries is dental plaque bacteria (poor oral hygiene) which act on the metabolism of carbohydrates (the remaining parts of food in the mouth) and lead to acid formation. A drop in pH values, and this results in initiating a chain of events that occur on the surface of the tooth. Important factor is diffusion of calcium and phosphorus ions from the enamel. The process is known as demineralization of enamel and is an initial step in dental caries. It is interesting that this process may be reversible, if it comes to that, the pH rises again. Dental caries is therefore a dynamic process that is characterized by episodes of demineralization and remineralization which occur during a period of time. If you are late, dominated destruction will lead to degradation of mineral components, which leads to the formation of cavities. Dental caries begins on the surface of the teeth and looks like a white dot. This appearance is caused by the prisms of the enamel, which is built and stripped of calcium and phosphorus ions. Dental caries is followed by the invasion of bacteria on previously performed demineralization. Once they get to the enamel dentine border, it comes to a lateral expansion which undermined enamel and complicates treatment. Tooth defend himself in a manner that creates a secondary dentine to prevent penetration of bacteria to the tooth pulp. Under favorable conditions, lesions may become inactive and even pull-regress. Clinical stopped dental caries have hard or leathery consistency and usually have a darker color than yellowish active caries. Stopped enamel caries may be dark gray.

Brooch, 1754 England, the Victoria & Albert Museum
Hair had long been important in sentimental jewellery, but during the 18th century it took on a new prominence. It could now form the centrepiece of a jewel, arranged in complicated motifs or as plain, woven sections. Tiny fragments of hair could even be incorporated into delicate paintings. Some designs were made by professionals, but many women chose to work the hair of loved ones themselves, using gum to secure their creations.
Hair jewels were worn to cherish the living as well as to remember the dead. The survival of many pieces celebrating love and friendship indicate their great social importance

Fashion doll with accessories, 1755-60 England, the Victoria & Albert Museum
This is most likely to be a fashion doll, or a pandora. Pandoras were used from the 14th century to convey the latest fashion among the courts of Europe. By the 18th century this practice had become more common, and these three-dimensional fashion plates were sent all over Europe and America to a much wider clientele by dress makers to promote their wares. By the end of the 18th century the pandoras had given way in importance to fashion magazines. The figures were not designed as toys, but, after they had served their original purpose they may been given to children to play with.
This wooden figure is dressed in a silk sack back robe with matching petticoat and stomacher. She wears all the accessories and underpinnings of a fashionable lady of the late 1750s. The original headed pins suggest that the garments have remained in position since the 18th century and the figure may never have been played with.
Boy's robe, ca 1750 France, the Victoria & Albert Museum
This boy's robe dates from a era when young boys in Europe wore garments with skirts, a custom with unclear origins, but which most likely had to do with making it easier for them to urinate. The style was common until about 1920. A boy usually received his first breeches or trousers between four and seven years of age, sometimes in a special ceremony held by the family.

I'll end, not with a riddle, but with the funniest words I found on the subject of Halloween. They're from the comedienne, Rita Rudner:
Halloween was confusing. All my life my parents said, "Never take candy from strangers." And then they dressed me up and said, "Go beg for it." I didn't know what to do! I'd knock on people's doors and go, "Trick or treat." "No thank you."
Happy Halloween!

When UC was ranked No. 21 in the pre-season AP college basketball poll it was the first time the Bearcats had been ranked in the pre-season since 2003 and seemed to be an affirmation that the program was back.
But they didn't handle it very well. By Nov. 21, they had lost at home to Presbyterian and were out of the Top 25.
Now that they're on a seven-game winning streak, with recent wins over Oklahoma, Pitt and Notre Dame, they are again receiving votes, but UC coach Mick Cronin is not lobbying to get back into the ranking.
"Don't vote for Cincinnati," Cronin said Thursday.
Cronin, whose team is 12-3, later said he was just kidding.
"I would rather deserve to be ranked because we have become a real team," Cronin said. "When you come to watch us, cover us, or play us, you know what you're going to get. That's why pre-season rankings are just for fans."
Sean Kilpatrick was not kidding, though, when he said he would prefer to not be ranked.
"Me personally I like not being ranked," Kilpatrick said. "It makes me madder and more angry to the point where it's like, you know what, if you're not going to rank us now, then who's going to respect us, so just keep working and keep winning."
His teammate, JaQuon Parker doesn't share that sentiment.
"I'm not going to lie to you," Parker said. "I'd like to be ranked. We'll get there eventually."

For years, focused ultrasound has been used to treat tumors and cancer.
Matt Eames, Director of Extramural Research at Focused Ultrasound Foundation, said, "It does this in a way that only the tissue at the focus is destroy by the ultrasound and all of the tissue that surround the focus is unaffected."
Now, at the Focused Ultrasound Foundation in Charlottesville, they have all eyes are on the brain to target the side effects of Parkinson's disease, the shaking.
Eames explained, "Dyskinesia is a side effect of therapy for Parkinson's disease. It is essentially a movement disorder. It causes people to shake or move uncontrollably and the side effect of this is really a quality of life issue."
The Michael J. Fox Foundation awarded the Focused Ultrasound Foundation with a $600,000 grant. The Focused Ultrasound Foundation is now able to further its research and study the safety and effectiveness of focused ultrasound in treating dyskinesia.
Pamela Minetti, Director of Development at Focused Ultrasound Foundation, said, "This is really an endorsement of the potential of focused ultrasound to help so many patients with Parkinson's disease."
Right now, the only way to treat the shaking and uncontrollable movements of many Parkinson's patients is by an invasive surgery that inserts an electrode in the brain. The non-invasive and targeted ability of the focused ultrasound could give another option to some patients.
Eames said, "Patients are often unable to feed themselves, unable to perform simple tasks like making a phone call or brushing their teeth. By providing them with a better treatment option, we could drastically improve their day to day life activities."
Previous studies focusing on tremors showed great success toward treating the Parkinson's side effects.

TUESDAY, Aug. 9 (HealthDay News) -- People with low lifetime
levels of physical activity are at increased risk for peripheral
artery disease (PAD), a new study has found.
People with PAD have narrowed leg arteries that reduce blood
flow, which impairs the ability to walk.
The researchers checked for PAD in 1,381 patients referred for a
test called an elective coronary angiography. The arterial
condition was detected in 258 (19 percent) of these patients. The
investigators then looked at the lifetime recreational activity
(LRA) of the participants. The assessment of LRA included vigorous
activities such as jogging, moderate activities such as golf, and
light activities such as strolling.
PAD was nearly twice as common among the least active patients
(25.6 percent) than among those who were physically active (13.7
percent). After factoring in other risk factors, the researchers
determined that patients who reported no regular LRA had a 1.5
times increased risk of developing PAD.
The study is published in the August issue of the
Journal of Vascular Surgery.
"Our study is the first to reveal that a person's level of recreational activity is associated with whether or not they develop PAD," co-author Dr. John P. Cooke, a professor of medicine at Stanford University's Falk Cardiovascular Research Center, said in a journal news release.
About 8 to 12 million people in the United States have PAD.
"Based on our study, it seems likely that people who regularly engage in recreational activity (even mild exercise such as strolling) throughout their lives are much less likely to develop lifestyle-limiting and limb-threatening PAD," Cooke said in a news release from the Society for Vascular Surgery.
