A: As we get older, we tend to develop new aches and pains. But sometimes leg pain has nothing to do with muscle strain. It could be peripheral arterial disease (PAD).
PAD can develop when plaque (cholesterol and other fats) builds up in the arteries that carry blood to the legs and arms. Too much plaque can clog the arteries and block blood flow, causing pain in the legs while walking or climbing stairs. The pain is often described as a heaviness, tightness or cramping in the buttocks, thigh or calf.
Other than pain, symptoms of PAD include sores or wounds on the feet or legs that don't heal, color changes in the skin of the feet and poor or decreased nail and hair growth on the toes and legs. As PAD advances, it can cause foot pain at night. Sometimes it is so bad, it can wake you up.
Treatment for PAD begins with making lifestyle changes, such as quitting smoking, exercising, lowering cholesterol and blood pressure levels and managing diabetes. There are also medications that can help. If the condition persists, PAD can be treated using minimally invasive procedures, such as angioplasty (a procedure in which a tiny balloon is used to open a blocked artery to improve blood flow), stenting (insertion of a tiny metal tube used to keep the artery open), atherectomy (cutting the blockage out) or with a laser. Traditional (bypass) surgery may be an option for patients who are not candidates for the minimally invasive techniques or with more advanced disease.
Most of us wouldn't ignore a new pain in our chest, right? It's just as important to tell your doctor about any new leg pain, because just like clogged arteries in the heart, clogged arteries in the legs could mean you are at increased risk for having a heart attack or stroke.

If you've picked out everything for your new cool-weather wardrobe but your accessories, let us direct your attention to local jewelry guru Laura Lombardi. The designer has wowed us again with her latest F/W '13 collection, which consists of eight pieces made from vintage brass and copper, as well as bronze cast from vintage materials. In case you're not familiar with Lombardi's work (say, what?), vintage and repurposed materials are what make her pieces so desirable and one-of-a-kind. Her latest handiwork is no exception, and we've got 15 gorg snaps to prove it.
You'll love this lookbook, thanks to its grand stone structures, dreamy-yet-edgy models, and (of course), stunning jewelry. But with pieces priced between $68 and $200, you need not break the bank to afford a piece or two — even if you have to skip a mimosa session on a Sunday.
So, as you click through, keep this advice from Lombardi in mind when considering the right type of jewelry to wear with that new oh-so modern fall ensemble that's waiting patiently in your closet: "There aren't really any rules besides not being afraid experiment, and never underestimating jewelry's transformative power over an outfit."
The collection is currently available to purchase on the Laura Lombardi Jewelry website and locally at Space 519 and Eskell.

How to Use Hair Clippers Correctly
Using hair clippers to cut your own hair is an excellent way to save a lot of money. You no longer have to deal with paying someone else to cut your hair, nor do you have to deal with traveling to a location and sitting there, waiting for your turn at the barber shop. You can simply do it when you are ready from the comfort of your own home. However, it is important to do it properly or you may not be pleased with the results. Fortunately, learning how to use hair clippers properly is very easy.
The first thing you want to do is make sure that you choose equipment that is of good quality. You can find good quality professional hair clippers without spending a fortune in the process. Once you have them and you are ready to cut your hair, choose the guard that will give you the desired hair length. Generally speaking, these guards are numbered and the larger the number, the longer your hair will be when you are finished. An eight will leave approximately one inch of hair after you have finished. Conversely, anything less than a five will generally shave your hair all the way to the scalp.
After you have chosen the preferred guard, place it onto the clippers and then hold the clippers so that the blades are pointed down toward the floor. Run the clippers slowly through your hair from the tip to the root and make sure that your hair is completely dry. After you have finished, remove the guard, hold the clippers so that the blades are pointing up toward the ceiling and make neat edges around the neck and the ears if you prefer. Go slowly, especially the first couple of times that you do it until you are sure that you have the hang of it. You can then cut your hair and get the desired look any time that you choose. Style with your chosen hair products afterwards.

The cracks are beginning to show at Merc with Toto Wolff revealing that the two sides of the garage are not as transparent as they have been...
The cracks are beginning to show at Mercedes with Toto Wolff revealing that the two sides of the garage are not as transparent as they have been.
Sunday's Austrian Grand Prix was once again a battle of the two Mercedes drivers as the Championship protagonists finished first and second.
Nico Rosberg won the grand prix a second ahead of Lewis Hamilton, the team's sixth 1-2 result of this season.
But with the Mercedes duo the only drivers with a realistic chance of winning this year's World title, the stakes have been raised and the cracks in the drivers' relationship are beginning to show.
"Our first priority must be to let the two compete against each other," Wolff told Sky Sports F1. "They are on such a close level and we don't want to interfere from the outside and manipulate it in one or the other direction.
"So the playing field must be kept equal, that's for sure.
"Nevertheless, yesterday [the team] had a bit of a moment. After P3 we weren't in good shape and the atmosphere wasn't like in the races before.
"We see that it's getting very competitive, that transparency is suffering a little bit and we need to make sure that this is not detrimental to the team."
He added: "Transparency is all about exchanging views and what the car does and learning from each other.
"We obviously have to look very carefully at it, but we don't want to keep the lap which is the lap which is showing how capable the car is until the final qualifying because we need to understand where we can improve the car. That is one of the examples.
"I'm not saying this has happened - we just don't want to see any sandbagging and aborted laps when we need to learn about the car."
The Mercedes motorsport boss does however concede that it won't all be smooth sailing as his drivers fight it out. But as long as they don't take each other out, he's okay with not having a number one driver.
"We must expect tension to creep in," Wolff said.
"In the past most of the systems came back to a number one and number two driver. We are still in the situation that we believe in equal status because it's what we think our racing philosophy and spirit should be - and not only for Mercedes but Formula 1 in general.
"But we could well be finding out at a certain stage that the intelligent guys in the last 30 years had a reason why they did it. I hope we are never going to find that out and we never need to find that out, but it could well be.
"But, as I said before, we are not having any issues until now. It is all running in the way we expected but we need to monitor it."

Beautiful Fan, Hard to Install but Worth It
You will love this fan...once you have it installed. It's a bit complicated and you absolutely need someone who is good at home repair or construction or an electrician. The remote is fantastic, but again read the instructions carefully. And like other reviewers have said, it's a tight cramped space where you have to put all the wires and the remote box up, but once you get it all in there the lamp cover does cover it all. Then there's installing the blades. Use a magnetic screwdriver so you don't lose a screw in the fixture itself. This happened to us. But if you are patient, read the instructions and take a break every few minutes instead of throwing the fan against the wall...well you will have a lovely gorgeous fan installed.Read More
Perfect addition to our bedroom
Perfect for our low ceiling large bedroom. Lots of air at high speed and we love the attached light.Read More
This is exactly what I had wanted to replace the ugly old brass fan that came with the house. With 3 more in each bedroom I am thinking about exchanging them out over time. The fan is beautiful and matches all of our new fixtures and works even better than the old 5 blade fan.Read More
Love it!

Great Modern Ceiling Fan
I have been looking for a modern, low profile or flush mount ceiling fan as I have low (standard 8 foot) ceilings and all my current fans are flush mount. it's been impossible to find a flush mount ceiling fan under $300 that has clean, modern lines so I decided to give this a try since the downrod is only 6 inches.. I was a little nervous this might hang down to far, but it's perfect. I can touch the blades, but I have plenty of walking clearance under the fan. I bought two of these fans and liked them enough to buy two more so now all my ceiling fans match and I don't have any more of those dowdy 1980s style fans with the gold trim and ugly light sconces. The price is great and they look wonderful with all my dark wood and clean lined furniture. The remote control is a great bonus. It has an on/off switch for the light and low, med, high for the fan. The fan does not have a pull chain so you'll have to keep your remote handy (mine is attached to a light switch which will turn on the light for me). It puts out a nice amount of air in my medium sized bedroom. The light is on the soft side due to how opaque the glass shade is and because you can only use two 40 watt bulbs. But I don't want bright glaring light at night and prefer the softer light it casts so it works for me.Read More
Liked the looks of this fan. It would be optimal for flush-mount application. Unfortunately, the rod was not a standard size and we wanted it for a cathedral ceiling.Read More
Fan looks beautiful!
The fan looks very nice and blows air and cools a good sized room. You'll need to buy a 9volt battery which I thought would have been included. The install went well, my installer does a lot of fans so maybe it was easier for him than most. I love the modern, rich look of the fan. I am very pleased!Read More
Simple and Elegant
I'm terrified of electricity but decided to tackle this anyway by myself. The instructions were very confusing to me since they also include instructions for other fan models. Just make sure you are looking at the right model number. The only thing that was really a pain is that they tell you to put the blades on after the fan is mounted and wired on the ceiling. You really need two people to do this because you have to remove a plate on the fan and spin the motor until the screwholes are visible. This requires holding a flashlight straight up to see inside and at the same time get the screw on the screwdriver and tighten it. I managed by holding the flashlight in my mouth and i'm sure I looked ridiculous. If I did it again, I would attach the blades before and deal with the awkwardness of mounting the fan with the blades sticking out.Read More
looks great!
The first thing that I would like to say is that this product looks great!! The only reason I am giving it 3 stars is because you really need to have someone who knows what they are doing put it together. It comes in atleast 15 peices. BUT if you have someone who can put it together, you will love this :) I surely do!Read More
Questions & Answers
Hello Dafri, I'm sorry for the confusion. The blades are wood and have a chest nut finish. Have a great day!
Why did you choose this product?
Great style and price
Modern look. Close to ceiling.
What is the air flow rating on this fan? 3000? 5000? 6000? Also what is the assembled height from Ceiling to bottom of the blades?
Hello ruta2, the air flow rating at high speed is 5008 CFM. The assembled height from the ceiling to the bottom of the blades is approximately 11 inches. Thank you for shopping with us.
Where can I purchase a longer down rod for this fan?
Hello jaime0921, I'm sorry for the inconvenience but we do not sell the downrods. I did check the Aztec site and they do have downrod options. My research indicates that a coupler is needed to join the downrods. Each coupler is manufacturer specific as are the downrods. Please check with your professional installer on the recommendations for your installation. Thank you for shopping with us. Rochelle B
What's the fan diameter? The spec sheet says 50-60 inches. That's some range!
Hello kevinldw, the fan is 52 inches wide from the edge of the left blade to the edge of the right blade. The drop is approximately 6 inches. Thank you for shopping with us. Rochelle B
Can I use an extension rod from another manufacturer with this fan? I have cathedral ceilings and will need a longer rod for proper clearance. Please advise.
Hello bonpain, this fan comes with a 6 inch down rod. I did check the Aztec site and they do have downrod options. My research indicates that a coupler is needed to join the downrods. Each coupler is manufacturer specific as are the downrods. Please check with your professional installer on the recommendations for your installation. Thank you for shopping with us. Rochelle B
Can we use LED bulbs in this fan?
Hello pral, this recommends two 40-watt medium base bulb. Thanks for shopping with us!
Two questions: does the included remote act as an on/off switch for the light as well as the fan or just for the fan? Second: does the light on this fan have a dimmer feature or is it just on/ off?
Yes it does, so long as the wall switch controlling the electricity access is left on. There are three speed buttons for the fan, a light on/off button, and a total shutdown button.
I'll need to purchase a 4 1/2 down rod for this fan from another store. Is the down rod fitting for this fan universal?
Thank you for contacting us mroome. The provided down rod is 5 inches but you should be able to use the 4 1/2. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
Is the down rod 5 or 6 inches? and can I change to a 4 1/2 inch down rod on this fan?
Thank you for contacting us hopelane. The provided down rod is 5 inches and unfortunately we do not provide a 4.5 inch down rod. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
I ordered this fan a while back and just opening the box and installed the ceiling fan (looks great). However, the glass cover is broken. What do I need to do in order to get a replacement glass cover? Thank you!
Hello dcama! Congrats on your new item! We are sadden to hear of your misfortune, please Contact Customer Care at 1-800-The-BIG-O (843-2446) so we may better assist you.Thanks for shopping with us! -Amanda P
Do you know if parts are available for this fan? I received the fan today and have already broken the glass cover for the light bulbs.
Thank you for your inquiry; you will be contacted by Customer Care. Have a great day.
Do they make one in this style that is smaller? 40"-36"?
Thank you for your question gphouse1. Unfortunately, the fan does not come any smaller. Have a great day.
Hello, Is this fan by chance Energy Star qualified?
Hello kenna0422, Unfortunately this fan is not energy star qualified. Thank you for shopping with us!
Do you have a longer downrod for purchase that matches this finish?
Hello valste, thanks for your interest in the Contemporary Bronze Two-light Ceiling Fan. Unfortunately, we do not have any extra down rods for this ceiling light/fan. I hope this helps, thanks for shopping with us.
Can this be used outside?
Hello, airmilt. Hope your day is going well. It is not recommended unless it is completely protected from the elements. Thank you for shopping with us and please feel free to contact us again with any further questions.
Can this be installed on an angled ceiling?
Sure it can be installed on an angle ceiling as long as you have the distance needed.
I did install this fan on an angled ceiling. My ceiling has a 2" rise (every 12 inches it raises 2 inches) and it works. The clearance is just right. If the ceiling were any steeper, I'd be concerned though.
How many speeds dpes it have?
Thank you for your question on this modern fan. This has three speeds.
I need a extension rod for this fan, and who manuf it
Can this be installed without the light?
Hello, the light would need to be installed.
What kind of bulb does this fan accept? Fluorescent or incandescent?
I can not find that information in the product descriptions. I would believe you would be able to use either, as long as they are a two (2) 40-watt medium base bulb.

Borealis Posts Lower Net Profit; Borouge, Fertilizers Make Major Contributions
9:16 AM MDT | August 9, 2012 | Natasha Alperowicz
Borealis, one of Europe's largest polyolefin producers, today reported a 33% decline in second-quarter net profit, to €112 million ($138.2 million), on flat sales of €1.87 billion, citing the European debt crisis and market volatility. CEO Mark Garrett speaking exclusively to CW this morning, said that the company's base chemicals and fertilizers businesses, as well as Borouge—Borealis's joint venture with Abu Dhabi National Oil at Ruwais, Abu Dhabi—are performing very well but that the company is "continuing to...

A socially inept young woman slowly learns to overcome her insecurities in this sleeper hit from Australia.

Muriel's life takes a turn for the better, however, when she befriends the carefree Rhonda (Rachel Griffiths), who encourages her to take control of her life. Together, the two women travel to Sydney, where a series of liberating experiences help Muriel develop self-esteem and take the first steps towards maturity.~ Judd Blaise, All Movie Guide

Goals: Luna 1, like three prior spacecraft in the Soviet Union's Ye-1 series, was intended to impact the Moon. The spacecraft carried instruments to study interplanetary matter, cosmic radiation and the magnetic fields of the Moon and Earth.
Accomplishments:The spacecraft was the first to escape Earth's gravity, but a guidance system malfunction caused it to miss the Moon. The spacecraft instead flew past the Moon at a distance of 6,400 km (3,976 miles). Contact with the spacecraft was lost 62 hours after launch.

I purchased a compressor recently. It is a Speedaire, 80 gallon compressor with 7.5 HP motor and 80 gallon tank.
Based upon first impressions, the motor and pump run fine. However, when bringing the tank up to pressure, I heard a hissing noise at about 140 PSI, and realized that there is a hairline crack in the tank, near a 2" long weld attaching the engine/pump mounting platform to the tank.
The crack does NOT track the heat affected zone of the original weld, in fact it is perpendicular to it.
Here the "=" signs denote the HAZ, and "\" signs denote the crack.
In any case, when I saw this happen, I almost dirtied my pants and immediately relieved the compressor of pressure.
I am not yet sure what was the cause of this crack in the first place. I will try to find what I can.
My question, obviously, concerns my repair options. I do weld and have some experience with both TIG, as well as with 7018.
But, I can hardly think of any welding where more is at stake than here, due to pressure. So, I see the following options:
1) Take off motor and pump, cut holes in the tank and throw it away, look for another tank.
2) Repair the tank by welding and hydrotest.
Considering option 2, the first question concerns welding. How would you weld? How do you identify where the crack ends? Would you drill relief holes at ends of the crack?
The second question is about hydrotesting. I was thinking about something simple, such as replace tha gauge with a 400 PSI gauge, close off all openings besides one, fill tank with water, connect to a hydraulic pump or grease gun, and bring pressure to 400 PSI (the tank supports 200 PSI) and look for leaks.
This is very time consuming and I would like to know how likely would it be that I would make some very bad mistake.

This comes up quite often, and my answer is always the same: Unless the tank is something really special (and this isn't), scrap it. It isn't worth the risk fixing it. New tanks are cheap. The crack you are describing is due to fatigue from vibration and the stress concentration at the mount point (quite common, by the way). Likely to show up elsewhere as well in the near future, and my show with undesirable manifestations. The tank is worn out. There is no practical (ie: less expensive than a new tank) way to detect and repair these flaws before they open up for most people.
I would suggest a replacement tank. Make up a frame to support the compressor rather than mounting to the new tank. Much better life that way, if you keep the tank drained of moisture. DO NOT weld mounts for the compressor to the new tank. If you must mount the pump directly on the tank, find a tank manufactured for the purpose, with the loading considered in the design.
As a side note, in most places in the US and Canada, it is not legal to repair the tank yourself. It must be done by an authorized shop (Natn'l board "R" stamp holder, or equivalent). Non-commercial users can get away with it, but if there is a failure, your insurance probably won't cover any damage or injury.
Ouch....Trouble brewin'
I'd choose option #1
I don't weld for a living so I'm by no means an expert, but I know several people who do weld for a living (my Dad mainly - Ok so he retired a few years ago at 71yrs young) and I can't think of one who would try to repair it. I do know some farmers and so called weldors who have tried repairing tanks, one of which spent 3 days in the hospital after a portable tank litterally got wrapped around his head (you could see where his nose, chin, and forehead are in the tank). The tank busted loose at about 90psi. I would have to beleive that if it is cracked in one spot, there's another one coming. I'm sure it could be fixed by someone that is willing to take a chance, but I hope like heck that no one is by it when it decides to let loose. I've seen the outcome of that, and trust me it aint pretty. Good 'ole flathead (his nickname even before the 'accident') kept that old tank as a stark reminder to the power of compressed air. Me, being the good friend and in general a smart A$$, bought him a new air tank after getting home from the hospital. That was probably 7 years ago - he still won't fill it.
For what it's worth - If you decide to scrap it, That is a good idea to cut holes in it so someone doesnt see it at the scrap yard, curb, or whatever and decide to try using it....
As others have said "dont fix it"
Dont cut holes in it!!!
Cut in in half long ways.
Make a grill or smoker.
A parts washer, Large turkey fryer.
But dont scrape it use it for a project.
Lay the 2 halves a their side and a la penutbutter sandwich, a beer tub.
The idears are coming fast. LOLBe safe
Give more than you get and
you will get more than ya need.
This is true for the good and bad
that life puts out.

I agree with everyone. I had that happen to a little compressor I kept in the welding truck. I think I'm gonna cut it in half and make two flower pots.
Compressor Tank
If it were mine, I would break it down, (motor and Compressor), cut the motor base off the tank (I'd use a cut-off wheel) leaving about 1/4" on the tank to weld it back on. Inspect the tank for more cracks, buff off the paint from the crack area, degrease it (using a non flammable degreaser) V out the crack slightly, preheat the base metal (90-150 degrees) Propane torch is fine, Tig or Mig the crack, clean-up the welded area, Fill it with a water hose (hydro test) most water systems are around 60-80psi. If all is good, weld the base back on the tank and put it back in service. You wouldn't believe the cracks I've fixed in the area Refineries and the pressure and temperature they operate at.
Wouldn't the proper hydro be more than the pressure it would run at? I also work in a refinery and the hydro's are always more than the service the vessel would see on a normal operating run. Plus they always have someone to sign off on everything. I would think if he fixes the tank and something happens down the road a few years he would be liable or injured.

Spool Gun conversion. How To Do It. Below.
I have fixed a few compressor tanks in my life time and I have never seen a failure where the tank exploded like a granaede.
Every time I have seen a failure it was nothing more than a split and the air bled out.
I also have a few friends in the portable welding industry and none of them have seen a tank blow into peices like a bomb that many of you suggest.
Keep in mind I'm talking about compressor tanks, usually 2'-3' in dia. max.
I could see a large dia. tank having a big split that if you were standing near the split when it occurres that you could get hit by the splitting metal as it flares out.
Also keep in mind that I am talking about a air compressor tank that typically holds not more than 175 Psi.
Not a 3,000 psi tank.
I would like to hear some feed back as to what the failures were on the air compressor tank failures that you vetrans have seen.
Did the tank slightly split open and the air leak out as I have always seen or did the tank break into peices throwing schrapnal.
Weld 4 fins on one end, paint it OD, then dig a hole deep enough for about 1/3. Tell people it's an unexploded bomb.Nick

Not common, but they do let go: http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=176187
Most common failures I have seen would probably be pinholes from rust, followed by fatigue cracks near mounts. Neither is worth repair, as both indicate that the tank is near the end of its life and problems will recur, unless the tank is something really special (odd size, part of a machine and it can't be replaced, etc)

Session I
Photo Basics I
Light and time are the basic essentials of photography. Regardless of whether you choose to use a digital or film camera, this will never change. This beginner class is an introduction to the use of the digital SLR or 35mm film camera. Topics include understanding shutter speeds, f-stops, focal length and ISO. Basic equipment needs such as tripods, cable releases and lens shades will also be discussed. If you are serious about moving the dial from program mode to manual mode, this is the class for you.
Workflow: Processing Your Images with Adobe® Lightroom®
Adobe Lightroom allows photographers unprecedented, non-destructive control over both RAW and JPEG images. This class leads you through the important initial steps of image correction and enhancement. Topics include creating a step-by-step workflow beginning with the initial import, correcting color balance and exposure, converting your images to black and white, and editing your images through the use of curves and the hue/saturation, and luminance sliders. Learning to make both global and local enhancements to your images without leaving Lightroom allows you to further streamline your image processing. Learning basic retouching techniques allows you to fix blemishes in portraits or remove spots in your landscapes while applying the look of hand-coloring and adding vignettes allows your creativity to flourish.
Session II
Photo Basics II
This class moves beyond Photo Basics I to help you understand important aspects of digital capture. Understanding the difference between how your eye sees light and how the camera captures light helps you to portray your subject in a way that mirrors your intentions. Topics include exposure and metering modes, focus options, reading a histogram, outsmarting your meter and the benefits of bracketing. Learning more about your camera ensures more consistent success as a photographer.
Understanding Exposure: Using the Zone System for Color
Introduced by Ansel Adams for use in black and white photography, the theory of the Zone System is used today as an advanced method for metering in color. This method helps you achieve accurate and consistent exposures in difficult lighting conditions. By understanding the skill of pre-visualization, you can create stronger compositions with accurate exposure whether you are a documentary, portrait, still life or landscape photographer. Principles learned in this class apply to digital and film photography.
Session III
Introduction to Macro Photography
Getting closer to your subject is a good rule of thumb to follow in photography. In macro photography, it is both essential and rewarding. This beginning class introduces you to the extraordinary world of macro. You learn about the options for close-up equipment, how to work with and manipulate light for small subjects, focusing and the design principles for composing macro images that pop!
Understanding Light
As a photographer, understanding qualities of light is essential to creating photographs with impact. You learn how your camera interprets the color, intensity and contrast of light, and most importantly, how this differs from how the human eye sees light. Topics include both indoor and outdoor lighting, the basics of on-camera fill flash, camera filters, color temperature and how to choose the right type of lighting for your subject.
Session IV
Shooting and Processing HDR and Panoramic Images
Add a couple more notches to your creative belt with this technique-driven class designed for photographers who like to experiment. Learn about high dynamic range (HDR) imagery, metering and photographing a scene for HDR and panoramic, and how to use Lightroom® and Photomatix® software to create these eye-catching images. Gain insight into the equipment and shooting techniques that make creating panoramics easy and fun. Learn flawless techniques for stitching several images together in Photoshop® to create sweeping panoramics.
Composition: Designing a Great Photo
In photography, it is true that you only get one chance to make a first impression. The way a photographer uses lines, shapes, colors, point of view and equipment when composing a photograph determines how people react. This class covers the basics of visual design, including the rule of thirds, symmetry, using lines to create perspective, the effect of cropping and more.
Session V
Landscape Photography
Have you ever taken photos of a beautiful sunset or stunning outdoor scene only to be disappointed once you look at them on your computer? Well, you're not alone! During this session you will learn what distinguishes a good landscape photo from an ordinary one and how your composition considerations and your use of natural light make the difference. Instruction also covers key camera settings that can improve the overall quality of your images and tools of the trade including camera bodies, lenses and tripods.
Photographing People
Documenting personal moments is one of the joys of being a photographer. However, learning how to interpret moments with a camera, and effectively convey moods and emotions, can be quite a challenge. In this class you learn how to connect with your subject, how to use light to define a face, how to choose the right equipment, composition and the importance of location and backgrounds. The difference between portrait and documentary photography is also discussed. This class is for the photographer looking to make eye-catching portraits in a digital world, saturated with every-day snapshots.
Session VI
Critique Session
Sunday's critique session is intended to be an educational experience that benefits the entire group as you hear feedback on a diverse selection of images. Our instructors will offer constructive tips and suggestions that best illustrate concepts that have been introduced over the course of the weekend. Rather than submitting your best, award-winning shot, you might consider submitting an image that didn't turn out quite the way you had hoped. We will get through as many images as time allows, however, it is not always possible to get through all of the images that are submitted.
All critiques are anonymous. If you choose to participate in the critique session, you may submit one image. Your image should be a digital copy in large JPEG format, ideally five to ten megabytes. We will not be able to accept prints or slides. You will be asked to submit your image at the registration table on Saturday afternoon. If you submit a CD or other storage device, please label it with your name and be sure to pick it up before you leave.

EDJ 4/20/1861 Aid for the Volunteers Yesterday noon, Mayor Baker received a dispatch from Quartermaster General Thos. A. Morris, at Indianapolis, requesting that Evansville might send all the blankets and comforts she could spare to Indianapolis immediately for the use of the volunteers. Notices were got out by four o'clock and a room provided for the reception of the articles. They soon commenced rolling in with astonishing rapidity, and by nine o"clock at night five hundred had been received. Several persons did not hear of the request until late, and desired that a couple of boxes should be left open till morning. One hundred more will probably be sent in this morning. There will be about twelve dry goods boxes full, which will be sent off by this morning's train.
EDJ 10/22/1861 Woolen Socks for the Army We publish the following directions to knitting woolen socks, for the benefit of the ladies: The yarn should be bluish grey, No. 22, and the needles No. 14 and 15. Set twenty-seven stitches on each needle; knit two plain and two seam rows alternately, until the ribbing is three inches long; then knit plain seven inches for the leg, remembering to seam one stitch at the end of one needle. To form the heel, put twenty stitches on one of the needles, and forty-one on the other—the seam stitch being in the middle. Knit the first row plain, the next row seam, and so alternately until the heel is three inches long; then narrow on the plain row each side of the stitch seam for five plain rows, which will leave thirty-one stitches. To close the heel, knit the last seam row to the middle of the needle, knit the seam stitch plain, then fold the two needles together, and with another needle take off the same stitch. Then knit a stitch from both needles at once, and bind the seam stitch over it. Continue knitting in this manner until but one is left, and the heel closed. Take up as many stitches as there are rows around the heel; knit one row plain, then widen every stitch on the heel needles.—Narrow once on every round at each side of the foot until there are twenty seven stitches on each needle; knit plain six inches, narrow at the beginning and end of each needle on every third round, till you have seventeen stitches on each; then narrow every second round till you have seven—then every round until the foot is closed. One pound of yarn, costing from seventy five cents to one dollar, will furnish four pairs of socks.
EDJ 10/22/1861 To the Ladies. Quartermaster's Directions for Forwarding Packages In addition to former publication from the Executive Department relative to donations of blankets, socks, &c, for the Indiana troops, it is found necessary to proffer directions relative to the forwarding of the same. You are therefore requested to see that all packages are put in a compact form, directed to the undersigned, and containing, either upon a card secured outside, or enclosed, the contents, and the name of the donor. Also, when there is a preference of that kind, state the name of the soldier or company for whom the donation is intended. When no specifications of that sort is made, the Quartermaster will distribute the goods according to his best judgment. Let all marking and writing, especially of names, be plain and legible. Packages should be delivered to the nearest Express or Freight Office, and receipts taken for the same. It is presumed, from the known liberality our Express and Railroad Companies, that no charge for transportation will be made. If otherwise, however, in any special cases, it is hoped the donors will perfect their generosity by causing their gifts to be delivered here free of expense to the State. It is also recommended to you to appoint some public spirited citizen in each county who will take it upon himself to visit the farmers, especially in remote localities, and gather up their contributions and see that they are properly packed, marked and forwarded. A receipt will be sent by this department to each donor on the arrival of the package. Editors throughout the State are respectfully requested to insert this notice in their respective papers. J.H. Vajen, Q.M. Gen. Indianapolis, Oct. 17, 1861
EDJ 2/12/1862 What the Ladies Are Doing. We should be pleased to receive a report from each of the Knitting Societies of this city of the number of socks, mittens, &tc., furnished to the Indiana Volunteers. We have received the following from the Union Society: The ladies of the Union Knitting Society have sent during the winter the following articles: Nov. 1—80 pairs socks, to the 14th, Col. Kimball. Dec. 2—38 pairs socks, 42d, Col. Jones. Dec. 15—60 pairs mittens, Col. Veatch. Dec. 15—60 pairs mittens, 33 pairs socks, 1st Cavalry, Col. Baker. Jan.—140 pairs mittens, 26 pairs socks, 32d, Col. Willich. Feb—109 pairs mittens, 15 pairs socks, 24th, Col. Hovey. Mary P. Foster, Sec'y
EDJ 2/17/1862 Soldiers' Relief Association Editor's Journal: --Some weeks ago it was mentioned in your papers that the funds subscribed and collected for the benefit of the families of volunteers, were nearly exhausted, which was so at that time. The County Commissioners promptly came to the assistance of the committee with an appropriation of $1,000—to be drawn by the Trustees of Pigeon Township—not to exceed $100 per week—and this sum is only sufficient at the present time to keep the store supplied with provisions, having near 100 families to provide for. Wood and coal must also be provided, and for this object the committee call upon the benevolent for voluntary aid, and if any of the Ladies' Associations have money not used in supplying clothing to the volunteers in service, their families at home need it for wood and coal, and clothing for their children. A.C. Halleck, Chairman Executive Committee
EDJ 3/24/1862 A Rich Treat. The funds placed in the hands of a committee our citizens, for distribution among the families of our volunteers whose circumstances called for such assistance having become very nearly exhausted, at the request of the committee some of our amateur musicians and singers have consented to give a musical entertainemnt (sic), on Thursday evening next, at Crescent City Hall, the proceeds of which will go to aid the committee in their good work. Mr. Theo. Russell has kindly volunteered his services, and under his direction Bradbury's splendid Cantata of "Esther, or the Beautiful Queen," will be presented for the first time in this city. We are assured the concert will excel anything ever before prepared for the enjoyment of our people, and we have no hesitation in expressing our belief that in advance that the whole affair will be a decided success. The very best talent has been sought out and secured, and the Cantata will afford us, if we may so express it—"a bird's eye view" of the musical abilities and taste of the community. In addition to the Cantata, other gems of music will be "thrown in," to give variety and add interest to the evening's performances. Mr. Russell will receive the thanks of the people for showing them what means of enjoyment they possess within themselves, whenever they see proper to make use of them. Tickets for the concert will be in the hands of gentlemen, for sale, by to-morrow at the farthest, and will be disposed of with a rapidity that will insure the filling of the Crescent City Hall to its utmost capacity on Thursday evening. We need not urge the people to give the enterprise a cordial support. They have never been backward in sustaining such undertakings, nor will they in this.
EDJ 10/30/1862 Is It So? We heard of a case of destitution the other day that not only surprised but pained us. A soldier's wife in the vicinity of this city gave birth to a child and the physician who attended, found her so utterly destitute that she had not even a garment or a rag in which to wrap the little stranger. She was also destitute of provisions and the most common necessaries for her comfort or protection. Can it be possible that these things can exist in the midst of a patriotic and christian (sic) community. Can the husband and father when he learns the condition of his family have the heart to fight his country's foes. Will not rather the negligence of his family unnerve his arm, and render callous his heart. Have we no association in our midst to look after and provide for such cases?
EDJ 5/8/1863 Plant Now for the Soldier Will not every farmer and gardener set aside a patch of onions in the garden and an army acre for potatoes on the farm? Trifling would be the labor and expense and great the good accomplished thereby. Top onions ripen soonest. Will papers in the North West please copy? Hospital Chaplain.
EDJ 11/16/1863 CITY NEWS. For Commercial and River News see fourth page. GRAND DEMONSTRATION. The Farmers of old Vanderburg Aroused. Comfort for the Soldiers' Families. An Immense Procession. A Sumptuous Repast. Genuine Patriotic Joy. Music and Banners. Saturday was a proud day for Vanderburgh county. The patriotism of the people—of the whole people—never burned more brightly or shone forth more resplendently. It was the spontaneous uprising of the sovereigns of the land to demonstrate to the rebels in arms, to our brave soldiers in the field, to their families at home, and to the world abroad, that the war should be prosecuted to a successful issue, and that all would give of their means, of their money, time and influence to accomplish this end—but, most of all, to demonstrate to those who are at the front, meeting the shock of battle, that their wives and little ones at home should be preserved from hunger, cold and nakedness. The weather was not the most propitious, and many misgivings were felt and expressed that the affair would prove a failure, and that, instead of a scarcity of provisions with which to refresh the farmers, there would be a scarcity of farmers to consume the provisions. But these held at too low an estimate the deep-burning patriotism and large-hearted benevolence of the sturdy yeomanry of glorious old Vanderburg. No fierce blasts of November winds could chill their warm hearts—no threatening clouds could dampen the ardor of their patriotism. As early as 8 o'clock a few scattering loads began to arrive, and every half hour the coming increased, until, by 11 o'clock, Main and Third streets were crowded until almost impassable. One-horse teams, two-horse teams, and ox teams, and even drays, continued to arrive At half past 11 o'clock the celebrated Crescent City Band made their appearance on the corner of Main and Third streets, where they entertained the scene with their unequaled music. In the meantime, as the teams arrived, the spirit of the people was stirred up, and banners were flung to the breeze, and a magnificent flag was stretched across the street from Decker's to Scantlin's stores. The sidewalks were also crowded with men, women and children; and every eye was sparkling with gladness. At a quarter to 12 a procession was formed, under direction of Mr. John Greek, Township Trustee, and City Marshal Nelson. Deploying on Third street and led by the Crescent City Band, discoursing the most soul-stirring music, the procession proceeded up Third street to Chestnut, down Chestnut to Water, down Water to Main, up Main to Third, down Third to Division, down Division to First, up First to Main, up Main to Third, and again down Third to Vine, where the wood from over 100 wagons were unloaded and piled upon a vacant lot on the corner. As the procession passed down Third street the second time, the spectacle was most magnificent. The head of the procession entered Third street as the rear was crossing Vine, thus extending over eight squares in length. Near thirty teams afterwards came in which were too late to join the procession, otherwise the grand display would have extended more than ten squares. The loads were almost without exception of good size, some of them measuring near a cord, and one or two exceeding that amount, and the wood was of an excellent quality—showing that the farmers didn't give grudgingly, but with a liberality and munificence worthy the cause, and most creditable of the givers. As we gazed from the balcony of the Washington House at the long line of wagons so liberally piled with wood we thought "what a shout of gladness and joy would go up from the brave soldiers in the camps, in the field and in the hospitals, could they see this grand demonstration in behalf of their wives and little ones." They would at least feel satisfied there would be no suffering while there remains wood in Vanderburgh county, and large hearted and patriotic farmers and citizens to bring it and lay it as a freewill offering on the altar of their country. It was a triumphal procession, more gorgeous, intrinsically than that of any conquering monarch. The wagons crowded into the lot and around it, and the pile rose fast and high—a magnificent monument to the generous and liberal hearted farmers and citizens, and a beacon of hope and gladness to the soldiers' wives, who stood apart gazing in silent joy. While this proud pageant was being exhibited on the street, another scene no less creditable to those concerned was being enacted elsewhere. Large supplies of provisions of the most substantial and palatable character were deposited at the Court House; and, under the superintendence of four of the noble-hearted and patriotic ladies of the city, Mrs. Dr. Walker, Mrs. Mayor Baker, Mrs. Robert Early, and Miss Vie Cody assisted by the strong and willing hands of several gentlemen, four large tables were soon groaning under this royal feast provided for the soldiers' friends. Roast turkies , roast chickens, roast beef, boiled hams, dried beef, bread, butter, cheese, pickles, with good, hot genuine coffee provided by the Washington and Sherwood Houses, together with pies and cakes for dessert, constituted the bill of fare and when the wood was principally unloaded, the farmers filed into the Court House and arrayed themselves around the sumptuous table and ate with a gusto and an air of cheerfulness and satisfaction that would have broken the heart of an illiberal and sordid dyspeptic with envy. The provisions were abundant, all ate, were sufficed, and several baskets were left. Every countenance bore the impress of gladness and satisfaction, and not a distorted face marred the assembly—an assembly of sovereigns, who had just achieved, each, a splendid victory, the accomplishment of a noble, generous deed. When dinner was ended, Judge Parrett was called out, and made a short, appropriate and patriotic speech, of which the following is the substance: Farmers of Vanderburgh: Cheering indeed are the circumstances under which we meet to-day. The mission upon which you have engaged is a truly noble one. Your actions are not only eminently praiseworthy, as exhibiting themselves upon the right side of your country and government in its present perils and embarrassments, but even more noble as they extend themselves in the substantial benefit to those less fortunate of your own blood and race. You have shown your faith by your works—acting the part of the good Samaritan. It is conduct on your part which above and beyond all words fixes upon you the character of trustworthy and benevolent men, in every sense equal to the times in which you live, and of good, loyal citizens. It is said of old Athenian, Diogenes, that upon one occasion he lighted a lamp in broad day light and went through the streets of the city of Athens, peering into the faces of every one he met, and that upon being asked the reason for his strange conduct, he replied, "I am searching through Greece to find a man." This was indeed a severe satire on the times, but if he were here today he need only raise his lamp and look into your faces, and for a moment contemplate the noble deed which you have this performed, and then truly exclaim that he not only saw one man, but many of the noble images of the Great Deity. One word further as to the object of this display of plain good intention and genuine sympathy on your part. It is for the wives, widows and orphans of those who, acting upon their noble impulse of patriotism, at the call of their Government went out to fight its battles. For months and years many of them have survived upon the tented field, standing by and upholding the flag of our Union. Cheering and welcome to such must always be the news that there loved ones at home are cared for, fed, warmed and clothed. Others in battle and by the incidence of warfare, have fallen, nobly contending for the right. Sad bereavements of this kind have been felt by most of us and when you and orphans of the dead have by your acts today, felt a gleam of the sunshine of life breaking into their hearts and homes, you will I know, in the generous feelings of your natures, be more than compensated for all you have done. And now to all permit me to say, we should not be discouraged although fearful indeed has been the gory tread, tread of the war-horse, yet those who first started him upon the track are beginning to cower and quail at the at the ruins and devastations which he is spreading upon their own soil, and it will not be long until they will cry to have him chained up. I am earnestly sure that we will in every proper and rightful manner at all times, stand ready to strengthen the hands of our Government, looking forward to the time, when through an honorable peace, the unity and prosperity of our whole country , shall fully compensate for all our losses and exertions in putting down a wicked and callous rebellion. After the conclusion of Judge Parrett's remarks, Capt. William Reavis being called upon, addressed the crowd substantially as follows: Fellow-Citizens-- I am glad to have witnessed the grand procession by which the outpouring of a generous and patriotic people has been made manifest. Such a scene as this will touch the heart of every lover of his country in this community. Nor will the influence of this noble example stop here. It will go to the front—to Chattanooga, to the Potomac, to Vicksburg, Charleston, and New Orleans. And by this act of liberality here, on the part of the good citizens of Vanderburgh county, our brothers in arms who stand like a wall between us and our foes, will know there will be no suffering among the dear ones at home. I have been in front amid the roar of battle and claim to know something about the wants of the soldier. He does not care for his own suffering. What, though a Minnie ball may crush his arm or leg or the fragment of a shell may tear his body and his life blood is poured out on the gory field. Just let him know that a generous and patriotic people at home are taking care of his wife and little ones, and all will be well with him. The war in which we are now engaged is carried on by Union men, from principle. It is a great conflict between freedom on the one hand , and despotism on the other. We of the North were slow to go into it. We appealed to the ties of consanguinity, and to all the endearing associations that bound us together as a people in the past. They answered those appeals by the hostile cannon. But the hot blood of the North is up now. Never since the war began have we seen such unanimity in our cause. Our government has waked up like a sleeping lion, and is nerving for the final struggle. And just so sure as I believe in the providence of God, and that the Great Ruler of the universe sits enthroned on high, just so certain will we triumph at last. In conclusion, let me say to the farmers of Vanderburgh county, on behalf of the soldiers and their families, you have our heartfelt thanks. And as we regard your liberality as a free will offering, we hope that He who loves the cheerful giver will shower down on you his richest blessings. And as we have begun, let us continue in this good work. Let no soldiers' family suffer for anything that may make them comfortable. Let the men of Vanderburgh county who are volunteering, and those who want to volunteer, know if they go their families will be well provided in their absence. And in this good work let us have "a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull all together." The occasion was inspiring and both gentlemen spoke eloquently and with much feeling, and both were frequently interrupted with warm and hearty applause. Gen. Blythe and Col. Denby were expected to speak, but were not present. After Capt. Reavis had closed, Judge Parrett proposed three cheers for the Union, three cheers for the farmers of Vanderburgh county, and three cheers for the ladies who had superintended the dinner, all of which were given with a will and a vigor that made the walls of the Court House tremble. The following are the names of the contributors on this occasion. Some few may have been omitted, as the throng was great, and many teams arrived while the procession was moving.

This closed one of the proudest days we have witnessed in Evansville—a day that will long be bright in the memories of her people.
EDJ 5/3/1864 Noble Conduct—The Messrs. Iglehart have, we learn, proposed to all their employees who will enlist in the 100 days' service, to continue their full wages and reserve their situations until the 100 days have expired. This is noble conduct, indeed, and will be remembered by all loyal people. We are glad to see so many making their record plainly and unmistakably, and the line can be correctly drawn hereafter.
EDJ 5/25/1865 How Shall our Veterans Be Received?—Some days ago we urged that preparations be made to welcome home the veterans who have borne aloft our glorious banner, sudued treason, subjugated traitors and exalted the American name. Indianapolis being the headquarters of the Pay Department of Indiana, Illinois and Michigan, the troops to be mustered out, belonging to these States , will rendezvous at that place. The following Indiana regiments, organized in July and August, 1862 will be mustered out and paid off entire. 66th, 80th, 74th, 75th, 81st, 82d, 83d, 85th, 87th, 88th, 97th, 99th, 100th and 101st Infantry and 19th Battery. All three years' recruits for the 7th, 10th, 12th, 14th, 19th, 20th, 22d, 25th, 27th, 33d, 37th, 38th, 48th, 58th, and 59th, will also be mustered out and paid off at that point. A large number of one years' men belonging to the above regiments will be discharged and paid a the same time. Preparations should at once be made to give the veterans of these regiments a touching welcome home. It will be a season of great joy to the bronzed veterans, and their pleasure should be enhanced by such manifestations of welcome as brave men are so entitled to. Speaking on this subject a few days ago, the Cincinnati Commercial beautifully says: While we welcome home those who come back to us, let us not forget, but remember with deeper tenderness than ever, those who do not come back—"the unreturning brave"—and for their sake deal gently with the mourners and generously with the poor.
EDJ 5/ 25/1865 Local Notices Help for the Invalid Soldiers—Mrs. Nellie Wiltsie will deliver her third and last Lectures, on Friday evening, the 26th inst, at the Meeting Room over the Post-office on Locust street. Subject—"Free America and her Destiny." Admission fifty cents. Whole proceeds go to the Northwestern Sanitary Fair. Object—to build the Invalid Soldiers a permanent home. Tickets may be had at Dr. Hallock's Drug Store, No. 10 First street, or at the door.

SF'er Itinerary to Pasa Robles / SLO / Palm Springs / Death Valley / Santa Barbara
I'd appreciate any pointers on this roadtrip itinerary.
We are two SF Bay Area locals, and would like to avoid steak and potatoes or haute French places. Other than that, local favorites and/or dishes are ideal. A few of my choices below are California cuisine, but we'd easily swap those out for international options that are difficult to find the SF Bay Area. Low to mid-range places are preferable-- nothing too fancy.
Also, I'm open to hearing about any interesting food stops along the way that don't require a big detour.
Lunch: Thomas Hill Organics (Pasa Robles)
Dinner: Firestone Grill (SLO)
Breakfast: Bon Temps Creole Cafe (SLO)
Dinner: Taco Temple (Morro Bay)
Monday (New Years Eve)
Lunch: undecided
Snack: date shake @ Palm Springs Fudge and Chocolates (Palm Springs)
Dinner: Ace Hotel & Swim Club (Palm Springs) probably lousy food, but we're going for NYE festivities
Breakfast: Norma's (Palm Springs)
Lunch: picnic food
Dinner: Ruben & Ozzy's Oyster Bar (Palm Springs) or Chef George's (Bermuda Dunes) or Birba (Palm Springs)
Breakfast: Cheeky's (Palm Springs)
Lunch: picnic
Dinner: picnic or Furnace Creek Inn Dining Room (Death Valley)
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner: picnic or Furnace Creek Inn Dining Room (Death Valley)
Breakfast/Lunch: We plan to drive from Death Valley along 395 and then 14 en route to Santa Barbara. We'll go until our hunger can no longer wait for good food. I'll research some more, but any recommendations along that route prior to Palmdale?
Pretty much stuck to the itinerary. I'll keep this as a single post in case anyone makes a similar trek.
Lunch: Thomas Hill Organics (Pasa Robles). Perfect light meal to kick off the trip. Excellent all around. We had the roasted beet salad and smoked salmon sandwich which included a generous portion of salmon & sunflower sprouts. For dessert, we had a delicious pomegranate topped salted caramel budino. The top layer of caramel was thick enough to last the entire time.
Dinner: Firestone Grill (SLO). Their tri-tip sandwich is probably the most over-hyped thing I ate in 2012. It tasted like bland roast beef and lacked the spicing and juiciness I've had from even moderately talented home cooks' tri-tip. The pulled pork sandwich was delicious though. The meat had a strong lard flavor. It dissipated, but the first few bites of the sauce reminded me of the original recipe for the McRib, and I do mean that in a good way. The seasoned fries were notable for their large portion size, but they were not especially good.
Breakfast: Bon Temps Creole Cafe (SLO). Really enjoyed that Bon Temps Breakfast (Poached eggs and hollandaise with Fried Green Tomatoes and grits all in a skillet of Creole red beans and a biscuit). Nicely prepared grits and the house's hot sauce was the best of the several hot sauces at the table. Cajun Pain Perdu was fine, but the honey rum syrup did not have a very pleasant viscosity.
Dinner: Taco Temple (Morro Bay). Most of the items are obscenely portioned, and they have specials available at dinner but not at lunch. Setting aside that the "burrito" isn't tightly wrapped and is too big to be eaten without a knife and fork, the BBQ tri-tip burrito was one of best burritos I've ever eaten. Good beans, good rice, and the tri-tip was orders of magnitude better than what we had at Firestone. The duck confit tostadas with ginger and caramelized pineapple were wonderful too. Great chips and salsa to boot.
Monday (New Years Eve)
Lunch: Romanti-Ezer (Santa Barbara). Mole beef burrito. Very good.
Snack: Palm Springs Fudge and Chocolates (Palm Springs). The Date Shake was an interesting idea I'll copy at home. But at $6, not worth it. The scant amount of date puree was not enough to flavor the Thrifty brand vanilla ice cream.
Dinner: Cafe Jasmin (Palm Springs). Hits and misses. See http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/8837...
Breakfast: Cheeky's (Palm Springs). Hip and wonderful, they could compete with the top brunch spots in SF or LA. Their bacon flight consisted of 5 strips of bacon: Nodines applewood, Beeler Apple Cinnamon, thai sweet chile, & coffee/brown sugar, and jalapeno. The jalapeno wasn't so much spicy as complex and delicious. With a dark central color and a slight crispiness, the buttermilk & Fresh Corn Pancakes were ideally cooked and great. Huevos rancheros were also killer. We liked the food here so much we got two more dishes to go, and ate them for an early dinner in Death Valley.
Post-dinner: Panamint Springs Resort (Death Valley). Claims to have 150 different beers. A bunch on tap, and very impressive bottle selection in coolers including tons of 22 oz. bottles from Rogue and Stone Breweries.
Breakfast: Stovepipe Wells Restaurant (Death Valley). For $12 the buffet was a pretty good deal. Nothing Chowhound-worthy, but I liked that the fried potatoes had what tasted like curly fry seasoning on them.
Dinner: 49er Cafe (Death Valley). I understand that most of the food in Death Valley is mediocre. They get credit for being what seemed to be the cheapest place around.
Lunch: La Oaxaquena & Kabobs Restaurant (Lancaster). I was told that the owner's are Oaxacan, but they cooked at a Persian restaurant for several years, so they have foods from both cuisines on the menu (FWIW, I read a different background elsewhere). They excellent chips and mole were topped with queso fresco. Mole was smooth and complex. The most identifiable flavor was of cashews. Green chili and chicken tamale had moist and flavorful filling, and sturdy and soft masa. Chorizo tlayuda (a giant Oaxacan tostada) was topped with oaxacan string cheese and the boldest and freshest tasting Mexican chorizo I've eaten in the US. This dish kicked the butt of the two tlayudas I've had in the Bay Area. We had one of the Persian Stews. It was less sour than Persian home cooking I've had, and a big mismatch to the strong flavors of the Oaxacan dishes.
Dinner: Hungry Cat (Santa Barbara). High quality ingredients with lots of potential. A great winter salad aside, the dishes we ordered all had some major preparation flaw. Big bummer.
Breakfast: Handlebar coffee (Santa Barbara). Fantastic espresso. They also sold an almond croissant and regular croissant from Renaud's Patisserie and Bistro, both of which were very enjoyable.
Lunch: Taco Temple (Morro Bay). Returning for their seafood, we had a delicious halibut "tacos" and fried calamari, shoestring potato, and mango salsa "tacos." Both had great combinations of flavors. The oversized portions lost their charm a bit--- the four dishes we've now eaten there have massive portions, but the minimal amounts of tortillas/wrappers/etc. in all the dishes makes it difficult to enjoy all the pieces simultaneously. The giant slice of carrot cake we ordered had a very chunky style which we both loved, but YMMV.
