Rob PetersThe month of September not only heralds the arrival of Spring in Cape Town, but it is also the start of World Tourism Month and heritage month in South Africa, with World Tourism Day celebrated on 27 September. Here are 10 ways you can celebrate Tourism Month in Cape Town.
Wet Your Whistle With a Whisky Tasting at Bascule Bar
Rob PetersIn my experience there are two types of whisky people – those who do and those who do not. You either like it, or you hate it, there doesn't seem to be much room for indifference or sitting on the fence.

#InstagramDiary: My Design Indaba 2014 Experience
I awoke on Monday morning with a sensory overload hangover and I'm blaming the 2014 Design Indaba Expo, held at the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC) from Friday 28 February to Sunday 2 March, 2014 for that, Cape Town's creative piece de resistance!
#InstagramDiary: My Stellenbosch Wine Festival Experience
The Stellenbosch Wine Festival and Expo, presented by Pick 'n Pay and held from January 24 to February 2, 2014, is yet another reason we Capetonians have to celebrate Cape Town.
Wine canapés and French words in Cape Town's Constantia Winelands
And there's me thinking I'd seen all the beautiful wine farms this amazing city of Cape Town has to offer. Think again Diva. Beau Constantia est arrivé (by the way, when I see French words like 'beau' and ' pas de nom', I can't help but throw my French about a bit).
#Instagram Diary: Groote Post, Groote Delight
Monday 23 September, 2013, saw me heading out of the Mother City along the West Coast road and bouncing in a mini van through the veld towards the Darling Hills where, between the Kapokberg on one side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other, lies a gem of a wine farm called Groote Post.
My Big Bottle Festival Experience in Instagram
Saturday 24 August, 2013 found me wandering around the elegant Cellars-Hohenhort Hotel in Constantia at the third annual Big Bottle Festival, a rather a posh event, what with the Bentley and Lamborghini flanking the entrance way and the sound of high heels clicking across the conservatory floor (at least my sneakers were from Paul Smith!).
My Montagu Adventure on Instagram
Route 62 is one of the most stunning drives in the Western Cape, possibly in the whole of South Africa, and it's one of my favourites. It leads to some of the most picturesque towns and villages in the province, like Montagu.
Five amazing places for tea in Cape Town
Drinking tea is a gentle, languid pastime and there's no shortage of amazing places to indulge in an excellent blend in our gorgeous Mother City. I did a tea meander in the Cape Town CBD and surrounds, and these are a few amazing places to sip and savour the leaves – be they from Ceylon, China, prepared by the Earl, or plucked in the Cederberg, like our local pride and joy, rooibos.
My Good Food & Wine Show experience in Instagram
I confess this was my first visit to the Good Food & Wine Show in a long time. With more than 200 stands in the vast CTICC venue over four days from Thursday 23 to Sunday 26 May, 2013, I was amazed at the event's growth over the last few years. The stalls, some far more fabulous than others in both product and appearance, offered everything from food and wine to everything in between that relates to the home.
Top stylish shopping spots in Cape Town: an Instagram essay
As far as my favourite stores in Cape Town's CBD go, these five are at the top of my list at the moment. I tend to shop where products stand out by way of design and quality, and where I know I'll always get amazing service.

Vote for wins:Dolphins owner Stephen Ross isn't shy about where he spends his money -- on and off the field.Ross has donated more money to the Presidential campaign of candidate Mitt Romney than any other NFL owner, according to a report by The Washington Examiner.
Ross has donated $100,000 to the pro-Romney super PAC, Restore Our Future, $20,800 to the Republican National Committee, $5,000 to Romney's Free and Strong America PAC and $2,500 to Mitt Romney. Owners of the Cowboys, Browns, Chiefs, Jaguars, Jets, Dolphins, Texans, Chargers, Redskins, Bengals and Cardinals also have contributed to Romney.
Overall, NFL political donations favor Republicans over Democrats three-to-one.

Billionaires protecting their bulging wallets. I love how everyone talks about how greedy the NFL owners are in all kind of situations - vs. NFLPA, vs. NFLRA - but I'm interested to see how right-leaning football fans apply their logic here, when owners continue to show the same behavior via campaign donations to the party that will give them tax cuts.
None of it really surprising to me in the least.

|London Broil
To inaugurate our new series, KosherEye is asking the first question: What various cuts can be used for London Broil factoring in: Most tender? Cost? Preparation?
June Hersh, The Kosher Carnivore:
I turned to an expert butcher to help get to the meat of the matter. According to Park East Kosher in New York City, there are three preferred types of "london broil". The first and most expensive they call a split filet and it is cut from the top of the shoulder. The meat is lean and juicy and contains little fat. Their next choice would be cut from the main portion of the shoulder and is from the same region of the shoulder as a shoulder steak. It is a bit chewier than the meat cut from the top of the shoulder and therefore less desirable and less expensive. Their third choice would be a "london broil" cut from the neck area, what many butchers label shell steak. It is a bit fattier than the other two cuts and its price reflects that difference.
No matter which "london broil" you choose, they will all benefit from a nice soak in a good marinade. Be sure yours includes a solid base such as beef broth, soy sauce or oil and an acid to help flavor and tenderize the meat such as; lemon juice, orange juice or vinegar. Toss in some fresh herbs, kosher salt and pepper and let the meat marinate in the fridge for several hours. Always dry the meat off before cooking; wet meat will not brown as well. If broiling, be sure to keep it a safe distance from the heat source to avoid a flare up. The best idea is to don a winter coat or for those of you in warmer climates, toss it on a hot grill and let the fire transform it into a delicious and savory piece of meat. Simply cut it against the grain and enjoy!
I look forward to answering your meat & poultry questions and what I don't know, I will research and find an answer. Fire away!

Which is worse in media, nudity or gore?
By the time the average U.S. child starts elementary school he or she will have seen 8,000 murders and 100,000 acts of violence on TV. -New Scientist, 2007
And since 2011 the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) has allowed full frontal nudity on TV(!)
What's your take on the FCC and the role it has to play when it comes to nudity and gore?
Jun 19 2013: What's wrong with nudity?
All violence shown without any intelligent context should be banned from public networks.
Frank Barry
Jun 19 2013: Lets talk about gore -- The FCC seems to like it shown in movies.
- +2
I think that once you have lost your son's and son's-in-laws to WAR
your head starts asking your mouth to speak against gore in WAR.
Of course the parents who gave away their sons and daughters
seldom get recognition for their losses.
We've as a nation been involved in 56 or so armed conflicts since WW2.
Our nation as a result of the costs of doing battle has become bankrupt.
This Bankruptcy is not just about money. Living sons and daughters,
with bright futures, are no more. They have become the "gore of WAR".
The spoils of War. The other side of the coin, which is never truly exposed
by Hollywood nor the Media. The spoils of War in truth is not a part of the
gore of War. The spoils of War are quietly accepted by those unknown
non-soldiers that stay in the shadows. No one ever asks why !!!
All while the Movie makers make FCC popular wondrous films, without any
thought about what horrors occurred that give them what they depict. Their
Movies are made with the newest of technology, and Drones come in all sizes
and shapes, to be used to kill from afar. In movies the Leaders of nations,
push the buttons, and shake hands with strike force leaders who -
"were just 'doing their job".
Then everyone goes to lunch... "Cut"

Freedom is not really Freedom under these types of circumstances.
Why would you regulate only the extremes? And who's to decide?
I agree with some of what you say, but it falls short.
I cannot chide you because the problem is never fully addressed.
No one has every taken the high road. Priests and Politicians duck.
Comment deleted
Jun 19 2013: Scheesh -- LaMar
Is that your best shot across the bow?
The ole' Love it or Leave it...?
Haruuumph !!
Restrictions for the safety of society? Who the heck is restricting the
WashingtonDC jerks. Not the voters. They are lemmings looking for
a cliff.
Our Government is the problem. It's growing and won't go away.
Two parties control the Media and everything heard, seen and in print.
Independents get a Soap-Box in the Park.
I live in a society that allows me to change the rules Government
wants to push down society's throat. You do too. Unless you've
been brainwashed, and I doubt that.
LaMar, changing requires a stong resolve against this type of trash --
"By the time the average U.S. child starts elementary school he or she
will have seen 8,000 murders and 100,000 acts of violence on TV.
-New Scientist, 2007"
Sooo, moving to Canada, although a great idea, has to wait.
Comment deleted
Jun 19 2013: LaMar, thank you for your well researched opines.
When your government has turned sour --
1. Society's fail even to try to solve the situation it has perceived,
but cannot foresee it becoming a problem.
2.. If a situation is slowly getting worse, it's very hard to recognize that
this year is worse than last year, and each successive year is only slightly
worse than the year before.
3. It may take a few decades of such slight year-to-year changes before
a society suddenly realizes that conditions were better several decades
ago, and that what was accepted as normal, is not normal today.
4. History of yore, mirrors the sour US government today, in which the
Roman's society failed to solve perceived problems because maintenance
of those same problems was good for some people,
We may be strongly attached to a bad status quo because it is favored
by some deeply held value that we admire. Perhaps Democracy.
Comment deleted
Jun 20 2013: LaMar, off the cuff, 100% of what you say is correct.
That doesn't solve the problem of sour government.
And I wouldn't ask you to solve the problem.
I don't believe you see the threat. Not many do.
Until misfortune strikes, the boat isn't going to sink.
This nation will continue another ten years or so, without
a ripple. As long as our sour government can make wars
upon other nation's shores. Auditors will not be assigned,
and the Military will grow and grow.
That could change if wars were suddenly brought to our
shores. A distinct possibility---
A change in topic and times.
Some History--
To spot the chink in our government's armor, one has only
to look at the Congressional Hearings when GM, Chrysler,
and Ford set at one end of the table and begged for bailout.
At the other end sat a lonely Auditor. He expressed the problem
on the screen in living color, and what would be it's ultimate end.
That end happened exactly as predicted. He was ignored.
The auto manufacturers got their money, the government painted
it in glowing colors. Check TV listings for the programs to watch
Jesse James history as it happened.
Our Treasury was robbed back then by a very sour government.
Who can you blame when the hand is quicker than the eye?
There isn't a Republican nor Democrat who will admit to this.
And the well paid Media stands strongly in favor.
Comment deleted
Jun 20 2013: LaMar,
Until I reached your last sentence, I felt I had written to
an empty well of echo's. I see all is not lost, so be it.
I just am concerned with those killed and maimed that
will be lying about in the ashes.
Comment deleted
Jun 20 2013: LaMar
And that is why I continue to 'Harp" !!!
Now that our US government has explained that Drones are
necessary for our health and safety, we might see the Insurance
companies writing new policies excluding injury and death via
Drones. Go back to sleep, it's only 1984 all over again.
Vince Graham
Jun 29 2013: The media- Movies, TV cable or broadcast, at least here in the states is loaded with violence. Five-year-olds see more people killed in a week on cable TV, than combat veterans did in a week, from WWII, either side. Even the sex is loaded with abuse and violence. I like the European models of entertainment were violence is at a minimum and sex is humorous and entertaining. It's no wonder that our marriages in the USA are falling apart faster that they are getting married. Kids today are fearful of "Marriage" for they have seen or survived the trauma of a divorce. I blame it on the crap [Excuse the expression] that is pumped out weekly from Los Angeles, the writers have found that all you need is computerized special effects and a sexy girl in harms way and you have a riveted audience. You don't need a plot or story – just blow up a car or a plane with a sexy woman inside and it sells. If I were a Governor or Mayor, I'd push for a 'Violence Tax', where a film or TV shows would be taxed on the number of violent event within a presentation. Those funds could be funneled into mental health facilities or the jails if necessary. As far as the FCC goes it's an agency that is in bed with the big media corporations. The only thing you can expect from this government is legislation to make more money for the Corporations – not to insure public assess or censorship of transmitted programs. But then I don't have problems with nudity – only with violence.Jun 19 2013: I think it depends on the story. What is the director trying to achieve? Unfortunately this would depend on the director. But murders and nudity are facts of life.Jun 19 2013: Personally I would rather see raw not gore.Jun 19 2013: Barry, I apologize,
- +1
Yes we must be correct and stay on topic.
The full horrors of war, like the concentration camps of WW2
should be shown.
But to portray war as a game, or as Hollywood entertainment for children
is wrong.
War is one nation's enrichment by conquest of a weaker nation.
War is Killing. War is Maiming. War is not Sport. War is Evil.
War is your government and mine, convincing the people to send
their sons and daughters into harms way, with the drums beating and
the music playing.
War is using Hollywood and the Media to beat those drums and
play that music.
Such actions are WRONG. To glorify them, is TERRIBLY WRONG.
To ignore such, a GRIEVOUS WRONG.
There, all better now?
Milo Kelley
Jun 18 2013: Why do I have to choose? Both create concerns. I'm probablly less concerned about nudity on TV than abuse and killing. Although studies have shown kids are pretty good at knowing the difference between real and fantasy (e.g. TV, movies, games). Kids will most likely at some point in their lives experience nudity of the opposite sex personally. But not so many of us will experience killing or other gorey incidents in our lives. If, and we all know this is a big if, real life potrayals of nudity and sexual content are realistic on TV etc, these can be teaching moments for our kids.
- +1
Parental control is required by parents. Hope this starts the conversation.Jun 20 2013: To be honest I didn't know that the FCC has allowed full frontal nudity on TV. The only recent documents I could find on the topic was this: http://goo.gl/T1siw, where it is discussed that these policies should be reviewed. Back to your original question: this will depend on the context, how the message is conveyed to the viewer. I don't see anything wrong with either of the two, as long as appropriate notice is given.Jun 19 2013: actually, one usually sees murders without gore, in other words one will see a simulated murder victim and they will have a little spot of bloodJun 19 2013: It depends ---is it gratuitous or part of dialog and necessary element to tell the story? If it is gratuitous, then it needs to be "censored" for taste. If not, show it and truly tell the story.
If the FCC wants to regulate obscene and tasteless tv----censor reality tv!Jun 19 2013: you should add political spin (aka lies or incomplete information). not as in-your-face as nudity and gore but definitely far more insidious.
Jun 19 2013: I don't get it? Something wrong?
Jun 19 2013: not at all. i think that nudity and gore are fine as long as the program/film is appropriately labelled so that people know what they are in for. after all, you don't HAVE to watch it.
my concern is political spin/manipulation of opinion/advertising in "news" media.
i think it's far worse than nudity and violence.
Jun 19 2013: Gee Whiz Scott,
You've won the HITS THE NAIL ON THE HEAD award.
I still cannot believe it. Pinch me.Jun 19 2013: Both nudity and gore are completely harmless as long as there is a context to their appearence. Bodies like the FCC should concern themselves with the validity of the context rather than specific content.
Jun 19 2013: Yeah, sure peter.
After watching nudity and gore all day, my 5 year old
still sucks his thumb, and eyes my 9mm pistol.
Hopefully the FCC has concerned themselves appropriately.
Jun 19 2013: Just to clarify I mean that a movie for example that has either gore or nudity that is contextually relevant is probably going to be inappropriate viewing for a minor anyway, due to the nature of the subject. Even if you edit out the gore or nudity.
Jun 20 2013: peter, thank you.
Right On !!!
Pardon my poor attempt at comedy.
I get carried away, when at late night I try to write.Jun 20 2013: Just wanted to make sure. Doing everything in text can be confusing at times. Maybe TED needs it's own emoticons. How 'bout it admin?Jun 18 2013: Jimmy,
Now you've found a topic. Great idea.
I wonder where the New Scientist 2007 got their information.
I doubt it was from telemarketing the children.
The FCC is at the top of my list of Crazy Government Agencies.
There is talk of allowing explicit sexual acts.
The only thing stopping that is the FDA and the Porno Lobby.
The media would be all over this, except their largest advertisers
are the RNC and the DNC, aka: your Dictators who share the media.Jun 18 2013: I think the FCC should not be concerned with content at all.
What children watch in their homes is strictly the parents' responsibility.
Nudity and gore can both be positive when appropriate. Showing war scenes without gore is wrong. When war is presented in media it should show all the gore and horror, so people can learn the reality of war and what our veterans were forced to experience.
Jun 18 2013: how about FCC monitoring whether a war movie has the necessary amount of gore, and if not, filmmakers must add some more
Barry Palmer
Jun 18 2013: No, I would prefer keeping the FCC completely powerless and mute with respect to content. I am not expressing the opinions of the FCC, just my personal opinions, and have no power to enforce them on anyone, and have no desire for any such power.
- +1
The question implies that both gore and nudity are negative. IMO, not always.
It seems backwards that some war movies warn the viewers about the upcoming gore (graphic content), but I have never seen a warning that the movie purposely does not represent the full horror of war. It seems that our culture would prefer our young people, including potential soldiers, to think of war as less horrible than the reality. IMO, the ethics of this situation is reversed..
Jun 19 2013: The question is a trick question meant to make people come here and write ;-)Jun 19 2013: Krisztián,
The FCC already makes them add blood in the vampire movies.
So your suggestion has most likely been utilized.
The FCC allows frontal nudity, but not of senile old men who may
want to play a bit. The movie makers haven't expressed an opinion.
The FCC is really just a group of young guys who party a lot.
Heck they don't even have to pay for their theatre tickets.Jun 18 2013: Barry,
You really should have stopped with the phrase
"Showing war scenes without gore is wrong."
You would have been more right using...
"Showing war scenes is wrong."
The BIG problem is that the government and peoples
of these United States have, since WW2, made a national
policy of Waging Wars (preemptive Wars) upon other nation's
A policy of the President and Congress and YOU.
To daily Kill and Main, innocent men, women, and wee children.
Such a Policy is WRONG. To glorify it, is a TERRIBLE WRONG.
To ignore it, a GRIEVOUS WRONG.
Jun 19 2013: I agree that war is wrong. Nothing in what I stated previously can possibly be construed to mean that I condone glorifying war. In my opinion, war movies can and should show the full horror of war to teach everyone that war is evil. This is just a personal opinion, I have no power to directly affect the production of war movies.
You have no reason to assign responsibility for a policy of the USA to me personally. I am not the dictator of the USA. What power I have is used for peace.
By the way, your comments about war policies are off topic.
Jun 19 2013: Barry, you can deny being the dictator of the USA all you want.
Even Superman denied it. That power you have really needs to
be used for peace. Thank the Lord you are doing that. I sleep
easier knowing you do so.
I am sorry that I got your assignment wrong. I herein rescind any
and all reference to your having the responsibility for a policy of
the USA. I meant to assign you your responsibility for the Cayman
Islands, but Al Gore gave the job to some Duke Energy guy. and
he was bored senseless in less than 6 months.
By the way, are you sure my comments are off topic?Jun 18 2013: blame canada!Jun 18 2013: Al Gore is much worse, it literally makes me nauseous.
Jun 18 2013: Gee Pat, I agree.
You've won the coveted HITS THE NAIL ON THE HEAD award.
That Gore is a target that is hard to miss. Except in Tennessee.Jun 18 2013: Why there is age limit for alcohol consumption, informed consent, driving license etc? There must be very solid and valid reasons?
Why not age limit may be applied to exposure to nudity and gore on valid grounds?
Jun 18 2013: adesh,
Using age as the criteria might not be the way to go.
It doesn't work well for cigarettes, nor for alcohol.
Nudity and gore are used by idiot film makers for the shock value.
They think it will bring in more dollars at the box-office.
Perhaps if these same peoples were locked away, things might
improve. We can only hope.
As an adult, I have never found nudity and gore to be a reason
to watch TV. But, Radio, TV, and Web-sites, give the curious an
unending supply of ugly to sate their desires.Jun 18 2013: I think Al Gore is the worst by far.
Jun 18 2013: Badum-tss!Jun 18 2013: Robert,
Your another winner of the coveted
HITS THE NAIL ON THE HEAD award.
Tennessee voters and one masseuse can't all be wrong.Jun 18 2013: Who knows God must not be too concerned about nudity because we are born that way.
Jimmy Strobl
Jun 18 2013: If you read the bible it doesn't seem like God has any problems with gore either... But could we please keep God out of this, I don't want it to turn into another God debate..
- +1
Jun 18 2013: Jimmy,
I will try to tailor my remarks to your parameters.
I will only write about ungodly things.
The Devil's in the details.Jun 19 2013: Okay I was just having fun When I read gore, I wondered how much gore?Jun 18 2013: george,
Speak for yourself. I remember wearing a diaper.
Jun 19 2013: Thank you I enjoyed that.

Comments On Mar 10, 2015:I purchased these rims in a package with the Maxis Bighorn 2.0 tires. Decided to stick with the stock tire size 25x8 on front 25x10 on back. the 10" wide tires look great on these rims but the 8" wide look horrible and have no protection from tire. The rim sticks out farther than the tire.

Comments On Jan 18, 2015:Bought for my Rancher SRA. Looks great. Ordered with a set of Bear Claw tires. Only issue was the wrong offset was sent for the front wheels. Fronts were same off set as rear wheels. Had to repack and drop off at FEDEX location. I phoned order in to make sure no issues. Anyway staff handled this issue as quickly as possible. No other problems.
*****Make sure the right offset is ordered*****
Order a set of lugs also. Worth the extra $16

Medford, Ore. -- It's that time of year again. The sun's out, it's getting hot and that means fire season is here and it starts on Monday.
Brian Ballou with the Oregon Department of Forestry says we've reached a tipping point because we've had so many hot, dry days and it's looking like more of them are ahead of us.
Backyard burning and debris piles will be prohibited come Monday, June 2nd. Ballou says that most fires are caused by burning debris "Of the fires we've had in 2014, about 35 fires, a little more than half have been caused by escaped burn piles."
Ballou says burn barrels will still be allowed until the end of June, but only if you have a permit.
You can get them either through your local fire department or ODF.

The IPFW women's volleyball team came up two points short of winning its second Summit League regular season championship in the last three years.
With IPFW and IUPUI entering its regular season finale tied for first place, the Jaguars defeated the Mastodons 25-19, 18-25, 17-25, 25-16, 16-14 on Saturday in Indianapolis to win the conference regular season title.
IUPUI (21-9, 13-3 Summit League) as a result of this victory earns the right to host the 2013 Summit League Tournament and will be the No. 1 seed for the four-team conference tournament next weekend in Fargo, N.D. The Mastodons (23-6, 12-4 Summit League) drop to the No. 2 seed for the upcoming Summit League Tournament.
Outside attacker Emily Spencer in the loss had a match-high 26 kills.
Spencer was one of three Mastodons to finish the match with double-digit kills. Outside attacker Hailie Ripley had 16 kills and match-high eight blocks, while middle attacker Jessie Manwaring added 10 kills.
Outside attacker Kaitlyn Hickey led all IUPUI players with 21 kills and had the match-winning kill in the fifth-game overtime.
The Jaguars out-hit the Mastodons .242 to .208, including holding IPFW to a .152 attack percentage in the decisive fifth game.
IPFW libero Tessa McGill in the loss had a match-high 28 digs to move into second place all-time in school history for the most digs in a single-season.
Despite not winning the regular season title, the Mastodons still have a chance to clinch the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament if it can win the Summit League Tournament.
IPFW will play the No. 3 seed Oakland in the conference tournament semifinals on Friday. The other semifinal match will be between IUPUI and the No. 4 seed Kansas City.

Maybe they thought, after him being much quicker than MSC during FPs while Schumi was using coanda exhaust, the old config was really faster
Why he did it? Better race pace?
The question that rises now is if was Nico using it in FP3 as well, though?
Still, his gap to MSC is way too big to put on the count of the exhaust alone. I HIGHLY doubt an update like that, even a quite big one like this, can give 1,4s

4 medium
fresh tomatoes, cut into 1 inch chunks
1 large
cucumber, sliced
red onion, diced
1/4 cup
2 cloves
garlic, minced
2 teaspoons
fresh ground black pepper
salt to taste
Yummy salad! I added 1/2 tsp dill weed and it added lovely flavor. I only used 1/2 tsp of pepper and that was enough for my family. I only used 2 tomatoes and thought that was enough too.
This was just okay. I doubt I'll make this again.

This was an excellent dressing. I didn't think it would cover all those tomatoes, but it did. I did add parmesan cheese to the dressing. I put all the ingredients (except tomatoes, cukes and onion) in the food processor and it came out fantastic. Thanks for a great recipe!
This is an okay recipe. It is missing something though - it needs more of a kick. However, it is still tasty enough as is, but you may want to try to add some more garlic, pepper, or some other ingredient. It was just missing a little something.
This recipe is a great way to incorporate your garden veggies into a side dish! I used garlic pepper instead of regular pepper, and I added 2 tbsp. of dill weed, and used sliced cherry tomatoes (about 25). Very tasty!
My family loved this recipe! Based on the other reviews I added dill weed and a couple splashes of white vinegar.
Pretty good for a cold summer salad. Be sure to serve very, very well chilled. I added parmesean cheese and added a little vinegar to the mix. Next time I think a little feta cheese might do the trick.
This turned out really well. After mixing it up I thought it was good, but that it was missing something. I added dried dill (as suggested by others); that made it really tasty. It reminded me of a tomato/cucumber dish that my mom used to make. Thanks :)

Plus: 1-2-3-4 Go! Records needs help; A Million Billion Dying Suns get heavy at the Knockout
LEFT OF THE DIAL As legend has it, there was a time when you couldn't walk the streets of Berkeley without running into him. He accosted you from posters adorning bar bathroom doors; he lurked around corners, plastered to telephone poles. He was mischievous, sometimes foul-mouthed, usually up to no good, but he always meant well. He wanted you to rock out. He was Pyno Man, and he was everywhere.
"Pyno Man was basically just the dream anybody has of being great, but instead of working a regular job and having fantasies about doing crazy rockstar things, he's actually trying it all the time and failing. So he's out there on the street acting like a rockstar, but everyone just thinks he's crazy," explains John Seabury, artist, creator of Pyno Man, and bass player for the relatively short-lived but locally legendary East Bay garage-punk outfit Psycotic Pineapple, for which the wild-eyed, mohawked, anthropomorphized pineapple served as mascot. "To me, that was logical."
A staple of the East Bay punk club scene of the late '70s, Psycotic Pineapple held court at the Keystone in Berkeley, sometimes playing SF's fabled Mabuhay Gardens with friend bands, like the (underrated) power-pop maestros the Rubinoos. PP songs were about youth and drugs and sex, and you could count on them for an insane live show. But something in the band's demeanor set them apart from the prevailing punk attitudes of the time: There wasn't much they took seriously — least of all themselves.
"We didn't really call them punks at that time, because that just wasn't what we would call people who played music like them. They were just outlaws in a way, because they brought this sort of pop aesthetic to punk music. They were thumbing their nose at it and wrapping their arms around it at the same time," says John Cuniberti, a producer, mastering engineer, and longtime friend of the band who helped the guys finally re-issue Psycotic Pineapple's sole album, Where's the Party?, on CD in 2012 — something that led to the band playing its first live show in more than two decades, which inspired Cuniberti to make a documentary about the band in the process.
There was something determinedly fun about Psycotic Pineapple, says Cuniberti. "I was working with the Dead Kennedys at the same time ['70s], and it was political, straight-up social commentary, songs about death and war and all these things. These guys played pop songs about relationships — really well-written pop songs, the songwriting was always very compelling to me — but they were rowdy, and they did it with an 'I don't care if you like us or not' kind of attitude. There was an outrageousness to it."
The band put out its lone record 1980, packed with 11 gleefully irreverent tracks that ran just over 25 minutes altogether. In 1981, something happened that no one could have predicted: Guitar player Henricus Holtman suffered a brain aneurysm, hindering his dexterity on his right side. The band stopped playing live. While most members remained involved in the local music scene — Seabury's art adorns posters and t-shirts for a ton of other bands — Psycotic Pineapple mostly became the stuff of Bay Area folklore. But the fans were still out there. More than 30 years after PP disbanded, about a year after the band's official reunion show at Bottom of the Hill, the music somehow doesn't sound dated at all. They'll headline the Gilman this week for the first time, with Pinole's own Bobby Joe Ebola and the Children MacNuggits (whom could be said to follow in PP's footsteps in terms of ethos, if not sound) opening.
"I don't think the music feels old, but I've always thought that," says Seabury, whose art fills a booklet that accompanies the re-issue CD. "By the time we broke up a lot of bands were starting to imitate that kind of attitude — Camper Van Beethoven, some others. I think we would have fit right into the alternative rock scene. We were kind of like these New Wave clowns making fun of punkers&ldots;which, as far as bands we gigged with go, their fans didn't really like it. I remember opening for 999 and the Dickies, and both of their fans just hated us. They were booing us already, so we decided to close the set with 'We're an American Band,' and that's when the bottles started flying."
They haven't gotten to play together too often since the official reunion — for one, keyboard player Alexi Karlinski lives in Eastern Europe for most of the year. But while he's back in the Bay for this stint, the guys plan to record a few new songs.
Maybe don't call it a comeback just yet, says Cuniberti. But "I think they're worth listening to, and there's a lot of music being made that I can't say that about. The songwriting is so good, and it's timely, it still sounds fresh. You can hear in this record that they really love what they're doing."
While we're immersed in the warm glow of East Bay punk history: 1-2-3-4 Go! Records, the independent record store, label, and all-ages venue housed in a deceptively small couple of rooms on 40th Street in Oakland, is expanding into the recently vacated space next door. From their crowdfunding campaign:
"A few weeks ago we were told our next door neighbors would be leaving and we could take a section of their space for an expansion. The catch is that we need to take the space by February 1st or it would go to someone else. As a small business with employees to take care of and regular bills to pay we don't tend to have a lot of extra expansion capital on hand, especially on short notice. So we come to you, the good people who have supported us all these years and ask for you to join us in bringing the store to this next level and to continue to offer the great music and art we have been in our venue space.
In order to complete this expansion we need to do the following;
Knock out the adjoining wall.
Paint the interior and exterior to match our existing space
All new lighting that will stretch the length of both spaces.
Build additional custom fixtures; record bins, shelving etc.
Purchase new product; Records, books, supplies, turntables etc.
Purchase new Mic's, Cords and Stands for the venue.
Close the store for 7 to 14 days (oof!)
Our plan is to have our Grand Re-Opening on March 15th to coincide with our 6th anniversary. We will have a sale during the day and a private event from 7pm to 10pm with food, drinks and music for supporters who come in at the $50 and above level who RSVP."
As of this writing they have just under a week to go and still need to raise about $7,000. Want your as-of-yet unborn kids to know what actual record stores are? You know what to do: 1234gorecords.com [1].
Back here on this side of the Bay, A Million Billion Dying Suns — the psych-rock project of busy guitar virtuoso Nate Mercereau, who tours with Sheila E., among others (last week he was backing Dave Chappelle at the SFJazz Center) — have embarked on a mini-residency of sorts at the Knockout, starting with a Feb. 11 show. They recently had a song featured in a GoPro commercial, accompanying Shaun White as he blasts through snow-covered hills, but the band's had my attention for about a year now, especially since the arrival last November's Strawberry EP, with its slow-building, expertly crafted wall of spaced-out guitar fuzz, particularly on "Strawberry Letter 23," a cover/homage to Shuggie Otis.
"I record a lot of stuff by myself, and Shuggie Otis has been a huge inspiration in that respect," says Mercereau, who recently moved to LA, though he finds himself back in SF "every two weeks or so" — the band's studio is still here. "Though it was also for our friend [manager and friend to many an SF musician] Steve Brodsky, who passed away last year. He really loved that song, and it felt like a way to do something for him."
The Knockout feels a little small for the seriously powerful five-piece, Mercereau will acknowledge, but he wanted a residency at "a place our friends can walk to, a down-home punk rock spot that's in the neighborhood." If all goes well, he says, AMBDS will have another few shows here shortly, regardless of his new home base. "It's easier than you might think," he says. "We just live on Highway 5."

Who doesn't enjoy a fresh blueberry muffin? Adding yogurt not only helps to keep these muffins moist, but it also provides added calcium and protein.
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375° and butter the muffin tins.
Step 2
In a small mixing bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
Step 3
In another bowl, combine the sugar, yogurt, eggs, melted butter, cinnamon and lemon zest. Beat until thoroughly mixed.
Step 4
Add the dry ingredients and mix just until blended. Do not over mix.
Step 5
Gently fold in blueberries and then spoon the batter into the greased muffin tins, filling each cup about two thirds full.
Step 6
These should bake for about 15 minutes, or until the tops are browned, and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
Step 7
When the muffins are done, let them cool in the pan. Remove and serve warm.

My finished animation "Birds", and a new project
Hello all! First, here is an animation I completed about 2 weeks ago called "Birds".
This was animation to test out doing sound design, and simply put, just finishing up and following through on a simple story idea. Hand drawn, took about 2 months to do.
Current Project:
"House"(Pending Ttitle)
I was sitting around with my friend one day, and we lamented that neither of us had seen an animation in 2d that had a scary or horrific element too it, that was believable, one of the many reasons being that digital colors are much more vivid and bright, and that creating a setting that feels believable is part of the fear. So I sought out to try an attempt at something vaguely suspense, creepy, horror related. In doing so, I tried something new with how I come up with the story. For this piece Im simply coming up with story as I go, creating a rough, slightly animated storyboard to showcase before I do the real thing. As such, as much as I have storboarded, is as much as the audience, myself and everyone knows so far! We'll see how this goes.., stay tuned. For now, here is a couple scenes storyboarded so far:
Re: My finished animation "Birds", and a new project
I think the animation of the bird is great, pretty lifelike. But the old man's volume and proportions change a lot during the short. Just something to keep in mind for next time!
The storyboard of the creepy animation is pretty nice. If you add some dark colors, eerie music, I'd be very afraid haha.
Keep going!
Re: My finished animation "Birds", and a new project
I like the different perspectives in the bird movie. I have to agree with Cart00n. The proportions of the old man in the scenes vary very considerably. In the final sequence where the man gets up from the bench, there are several errors.
Overall I think your film artistically demanding!

In spite of a marvelous opening set and a striking comeback in set two, Ana fell 1-6, 6-4, 6-2 to world No.8 Sara Errani in the fourth round of the Sony Open Tennis in Miami. Both players won exactly 79 points during the 103 minute encounter, but the Italian proved the more consistent player in sets two and three.
Ana started the match with the same flair that she had shown all week and produced an outright brilliant performance during the opening set, relying on an extremely efficient service. She dropped just four points on serve and achieved a first service percentage of 65, which helped her to dictate terms during the rallies. She swung freely with her forehand and discharged some classy passing shots as she confidently wrapped up the set in 28 minutes.
One of the turning points of the match may have occurred when Ana was unable to convert a break point in the first game of the second set. Errani took full advantage of Ana's missed opportunities and managed to score her first breakthrough in the set by breaking to love in the next game. She capitalised upon Ana's faltering serve once more in game four – Ana held five game points in that game – and steamrolled into a 5-0 advantage.
Admirably, the former world No. 1 kept fighting, ignoring the apparently unbridgeable arrears and gave her heart to it as she cleared the double break deficit. Unfortunately for the 25-year-old, Errani exploited a first set point as Ana served to level at 5-5 and pulled the match into a decider.
Ana managed to break the last year's French Open runner-up in the first game of set three, but she was re-broken straightaway before Errani definitively turned the tide and opened up a 4-2 lead by breaking in the sixth game. The eighth seed eventually reeled off four straight games to reach the quarter-finals.

Horner syndrome can be caused by any interruption in a set of nerve fibers that start in the part of the brain called the hypothalamus and travel to the face and eyes.
Sympathetic nerve fiber injuries can result from:
Rarely, Horner syndrome may be present at birth (congenital). The condition may occur with a lack of color (pigmentation) of the iris (colored part of the eye).
There may also be symptoms of the disorder that is causing the problem.
An eye examination may show:
A complete medical and nervous system (neurological) examination can show whether any other parts of the body are affected.
Other tests may include:
You may need to be referred to a doctor who specializes in vision problems related to the nervous system (neuro-ophthalmologist).
Treatment depends on the cause of the problem. There is no treatment for Horner syndrome itself.
The outcome depends on whether treatment of the cause is successful.
There are no direct complications of Horner syndrome itself. However, there may be complications from the disease that caused Horner syndrome or from its treatment.
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of Horner syndrome.

Manga: Tsubasa –Reservoir Chronicle– by CLAMPMarch 21, 2011
Title: Tsubasa –Reservoir Chronicle–
Author: CLAMP
Publisher: Del Ray
Volumes: 28 (completed)
Publication: 2003-2009
Genre: Fantasy, Adventure, Romance, Crossover
Anime: 2 seasons, 52 episodes (completed)
[Forgive the long review, dear blogee—the following paragraphs encompass several works, and take some time to explain!]
I'll tell you something about myself: I hate starting a series with no end in sight. So when the last volume of Tsubasa came out recently, there was finally an end to the six-month+ long cliffhangers (imagine the happy dance, if you will). Of course, I didn't learn about my extreme aversion to cliffhangers until after I had already started in on the series many a year ago. Frankly, even if I had, I probably would have started reading it anyway; after all, it's CLAMP!
I trust you're familiar with the Japanese power-quad mangaka (comic artist) group? No? Run, don't walk, to the library and grab any of their previous series: Chobits, X/1999, Tokyo Babylon, Cardcaptor Sakura, Clover, Magic Knight Rayearth, RG Veda—just to name a few. Each series offers gorgeous art, compelling storylines and characters you'll never forget.
In fact, the characters are so memorable, almost all of them show up in Tsubasa! The two main characters, Sakura and Syaoran, star in—as you may have guessed—Cardcaptor Sakura; one of CLAMP's most popular series, and a steadfast member of the magical girl genre. Although this Sakura and Syaoran look exactly the same as in CLAMP's previous series, it soon becomes apparent they do not occupy the world we're used to seeing them in.
However, their attachment to each other has reached across universes; something you'll find is a common theme with characters from other series. When Sakura loses her memories and is put into a catatonic state, Syaoran visits the Dimensional Witch, Yūko (from CLAMP's parallel series, xXxHolic), and pleads with her to save Sakura. Two other original characters, under varying circumstances, show up at the same time and place to make a request of their own. However, no wish can be granted without giving up what they cherish most. In order to fulfill the trio's wishes, they must journey to various dimensions, in order to regain Sakura's memories and restore her to her former self.
Confused? Don't worry, CLAMP tells the story much better than I do. If you're apprehensive about reading Tsubasa without first going through all their previous material—don't be. It's definitely not essential to be a guru in all things CLAMP in order to enjoy the series. Although you'll miss out on all your fangirl/boy squeals when your would-be favorite characters show up in the group's travels (X/1999's Sorata and Arashi? I don't normally partake of the fangirl colloquialisms, but *squee*!!—read the series; you'll understand why it's a big deal). My only complaint with the series was that it was a bit hard to follow at times. Likely reading it all at once would remedy this—yet another reason to love finished series!
As you're reading through Tsubasa, don't forget to keep up with its sister series, xXxHolic. It follows Watanuki Kimihiro, who, despite his somber appearance, is typically quite energetic, though not in a happy-go-lucky way. Possessing the unwanted ability to see spirits, Watanuki stumbles upon Yūko's wish-granting shop, where he promptly finds himself employed in order to work off his wish of one day being normal. The art has a very dark and smoky vibe, which I absolutely adored. The spastic Watanuki and the life-loving, sagely Yūko make a great team for a great read. So far 16 volumes are out in English. It's unknown when the series will be completed, but I'll keep gobbling it up anyway!
tl;dr (too long; didn't read): Everything CLAMP makes is awesome, so by Transitive Property, Tsubasa is awesome!
