2 1/2 cups
bread flour
3 teaspoons
instant yeast
1 tablespoon
white sugar
1/2 teaspoon
3/4 teaspoon
Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon
minced garlic
1/4 cup
grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon
butter, softened
1/4 cup
hot water
1/2 cup
1/4 cup
butter, melted
1/2 cup
grated Parmesan cheese
I only had regular yeast on hand so I changed the procedure a little to compensate. I dissolved my regular yeast in the warm water with a half teaspoon of the sugar. Once the yeast was bubbly, I then mixed the dough ingredients in my Kitchenaid with the dough hook since I'd rather wash that than the food processor. I followed the rest of the directions as written, though I used garlic powder instead of fresh minced. I also put a little garlic powder in the melted butter brushed over the sticks. THe breadstickes turned out very nice.
I don't have a food processor so I first dissolved the yeast in the water and then added the remaining ingrediants, mixing and kneading until it felt right. I did add some onion/garlic powder to the dough due to the bland complaints. Finally, when it came time to bake, I did without the butter/parm topping until after they had been baking for 12min. Pulled them out, added the butter and parm and baked again for a few more min until they were lightly brown. These looked GREAT, the texture was WONDERFUL (nice and fluffy), but the taste? Well, there really was no taste. So they didn't taste bad but I couldn't taste them being good either. Plain white bread has more taste. If I could figure out a way to add some more taste, I would make these again because they looked wonderful. I'll put these in my "make again on a day I'm feeling creative" pile...try to figure out how to help these otherwise wonderful breadsticks.

These turned out great! I too let my bread machine do the work, and they were wonderful! I agree with the other review that you need to be careful to watch them in the broiler...they brown really fast. A keeper!
I was somewhat disappointed in this recipe. For me, it lacked flavor and the texture of the bread was not soft and dense. I think the Parmesan Herb Cheese Bread on this site would make better breadsticks. Sorry!
This is a good breadstick recipe, but I thought 18 minutes at 375 was a little long...I was right. My first batch was hard but the second batch I put in for 10 minutes and they came out nice and soft. I would add more garlic next time. I made mine on the dough cycle of my bread machine instead of using the food processor.
Absolutely great recipe! I followed the recipe as stated, except I didn't have any Italian seasoning, so like another user I added a few shakes of garlic powder, oregano and basil. I mixed the dough in my breadmaker, then got sidetracked and ended up letting the dough rise for about 1.5 hours. Instead of shaping like a rectangle, I rolled into thick ropes and let rise again. They really do expand a lot, and I think allowing time to rise is critical to getting the right texture in this recipe. I didn't measure the parmesan topping but instead just sprinkled it from the can until they looked to my taste. I baked for 20 minutes (didn't broil, as they didn't appear to need it) and they came out perfectly -- soft, flavorful, yummy, way better than I ever expected. Thanks so much for the recipe!
I made these for the first time tonight...and they're gone! I put the dough ingredients in my bread maker (wet ingredients first, dry on top) and put it on the dough setting. Then I skipped to #2. I cooked them on a baking stone and really didn't even need to use the broiler, just leave them in a little longer. Yummy!
I baked these tonight and they were really good! Highly recommend these, but next time I will leave off the cheese on top. I thought the cheese made them a bit hard. Will make again, very easy.

MACDILL AIR FORCE BASE, Fla. — The intrinsic responsibilities bestowed upon us as Wingmen, supervisors and members of the military, revolve around a creed of looking out for one another. Why is it that we tend to ignore those who are spiraling downward?
Often times, we as military members get fixated on our job and tasks-at-hand, overlooking the cries for help given off by those closest to us.
I recently had the honor and privilege to supervise one of the hardest working, technical professionals I have ever met; what many don't know is that early in his career he received an Article 15 and Uniform Code of Military Justice punishment for the use of illegal substances.
Often times I would ask him, "What were you thinking?" "Why didn't anyone help you?" and "What have you learned?" To my dismay, he informed me he was overwhelmed with his change in lifestyle, was looking for acceptance from the wrong individuals, and felt he had no one to turn to.
Despite his own wrongdoing, how was it that his supposed Wingmen, who worked eight to 10 hours a day, five days a week with him did not steer him in the right direction? After all of the resiliency training, substance abuse campaigns, and computer based training, how can this continue to happen? The answer is simple, it cannot!
Whether it be alcohol, illegal substances, or prescription medication abuse, we must be well versed in recognizing the signs, knowing how to counsel and identifying when to refer.
Don't be caught up in the stereotypes of the common abuser either. Not too long ago, retired Lt. Gen. David Fridovich, the former deputy commander of U. S. Special Operations Command at MacDill Air Force Base, stood before a crowd of 700 and gave a testimony, sharing that for nearly five years of his career he was addicted to prescription narcotics. The fact of the matter is, substance abuse is not discriminatory; it can consume anyone.
Understanding the signs and symptoms of substance abuse is one of the many integral ways we accomplish this "Wingman" ideology and make sure our brothers and sisters are stable.
What we have to understand is substance abusers are likely looking for someone to confide in and help them find an out from the destructive lifestyle they have fallen into. It is important to establish a more intimate work relationship with our fellow Airmen.
Simply getting to know each other on a one-on-one level greatly increases our ability to identify subtle changes indicating a problem. Take time to ask personal questions, such as, "How was your weekend?", "How is your family doing?", "What do you do for fun?"
Building this rapport is a double-positive; it builds trust and an understanding of how the individual thinks and reacts. It establishes a baseline of their demeanor.
In a perfect world there would be a rubric that could be used to pinpoint a substance abuser by actions, emotions and behaviors, but there's not.
There are, however, signs that medical professionals have designated as associated behaviors. The following are recognized by the National Council on Alcohol and Drug Dependence:
- Waning duty performance
- Frequent absences
- Errors in judgment
- Financial irresponsibility and shortcomings
- Arrests or legal problems
- Increased use of alcohol
- Morning drinking and hangovers
- Memory loss
- Health problems related to drinking
- Violent behavior
- Suicidal thoughts or behaviors
- Dramatic mood swings
- Denial or dishonesty about use
- Failed attempts to stop or cut down
- Concerns expressed by family or friends
- Reporting to work drunk, hungover or smelling of alcohol
- Changes in behavior that are out of character for the individual
It is up to us to recognize and respond. We cannot let complacency and tunnel-vision be a pestilence in our workforce. Make it a standard to be cognizant of those around you. It may be a coworker, family member, or just someone who crosses your path who has succumbed to substance abuse. You may be the person who reaches out and saves their life.
As American philosopher Elbert Hubbard once said, "He who does not understand your silence will probably not understand your words."
Additional Information:
If you or someone you know may be experiencing the signs or symptoms of substance abuse, the following individuals and organizations are available for immediate assistance: Your local Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention and Treatment Program team, chapel corps, medical group, first sergeant and Health and Wellness Center.
Editor's note: Information in this article was gathered from Air Force Instruction 44-121, Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention and Treatment (adapt) Program, the MAYO Clinic and the National Council on Alcohol and Drug Dependence.

"Sexy, sunny, and sweet-natured, this lovely animation by filmmaker Fernando Trueba and artist and designer Javier Mariscal is a 1940s love story with all the brassy passion of a Barry Manilow number, set in the nightclubs of Havana and New York." Peter Bradshaw, the Guardian.
An Oscar nominee for Best Animated Feature, Chico & Rita is an artfully made romantic drama that captures the hearts and imaginations of its audience through its storytelling as much as its animation.

The Altiplano watch, a model of elegance in its ultra-thin case with a generous diameter, boldly opens up its dial.

An ultra-thin hand-wound movement measuring only 2.7 mm thick, the 838S skeleton black PVD movement is a variation of the 838P skeleton movement, from which it derives all its qualities.

1 (18.25 ounce) package
lemon cake mix
1 (3 ounce) package

1 cup

frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 (3 ounce) package

I made this cake for hubby's birthday and it was terrific!!
To lower the calorie count, I used a can of diet 7up when making the cake. This replaces all the other ingredients in baking the cake; no, water, oil, eggs; just the 7up and the cake mix.
You use light color soda for light cakes and dark color soda for dark cakes.
Everything else I did the same except I used fat free pudding and milk.
This was OUTSTANDING and no one even knew I used fat free products!!! I filled 7 requests for this recipe.
I'm not sure why this recipe has gotten so many good ratings. It tastes like a boxed cake mix with whipped cream on top. I was looking for something easy and different and chose this recipe but was very disappointed. The jello does not saturate the cake and as a result only some bites are lemony and moist. The other bites taste just like a lemon cake mix which reminds me of pine sol. I found the frosting to be bland. I took this cake to a get together at a park and no one said a word about it and I took half of it home. So, needless to say, this will not make it into my recipe box.
155 Ratings
Excellent! I loved the flavor. It wasn't too sweet or too lemony...just right. I used two 8" round pans and stacked them. I put holes in the bottom layer and poured a bit of the gelitin mix, then stacked the top layer and did the same. It turned out great and looked so pretty on the table!
Oh man. Prepare your taste buds for a taste explosion; this recipe rocks the house. I am decidely NOT a cake fan, but after this recipe, I may change my tune. It's the perfect desert for a hot summer evening - light, creamy, lemony and delicious! This cake is so moist it will melt in your mouth. The lemon gelatin must be the secret; it baths the inside of the cake with the perfect lemon flavor. And that topping - sheesh -so simple, yet so good. Do it! This one is off the charts.
This is excellent. I have a recipe for something similar called a "poke" cake - you can substitute the lemon cake with white or yellow cake, the lemon pudding with vanilla pudding and the lemon jello with strawberry or other berry jello and end up with something tasting a lot like strawberry shortcake without the fuss.
Oh, wow! My boyfriend and I just made this cake tonight. We followed the directions exactly and it's just wonderful. Next time I may add two packages of lemon Jell-o to the top of the cake or maybe two packages of lemon pudding to the frosting mixture, just to make it even better. I also may experiment with allowing the Jell-o to set a bit before pouring it over the cake so it really can get into the holes instead of just seeping into the cake. In any case, we'll be making this a lot- it will be wonderful to lighten things up a bit during our long Alaska winters- and plan to experiment with different flavor combinations. Next up: white cake with strawberry Jell-o on top and cheesecake pudding in the frosting!
A very moist cake. I added a tsp. of lemon extract, a tblsp. of fresh lemon juice, and the zest of one lemon to both the cake batter and the frosting. If you are looking for a cake with a "zing," this is not it. It is a very light lemon flavor. I did the bundt cake method. If you do that also, be sure to grease and flour your bundt pan generously. Allow the bundt pan to cool on a cooling rack for no more than 5 minutes, and flip the cake onto your serving platter while it is still hot. Instead of a wooden spoon, I used a drinking straw to make numerous holes all over the top and sides of the cake. Use a hand mixer to make the frosting almost to a pudding consistency. I sprinkled lavender sugar over the top right before serving, which was very pretty. I'm looking forward to trying all the different flavor combos suggested in other reviews.
This cake was very good, just the right amount of lemmon flavor and very light. I would make it again.

When you're a 2:44 marathoner with multiple 26.2-mile wins under your belt, it's hard to find a training partner who can keep up with you. That's why professional runner and 2012 Olympic Trials qualifier Nichole Porath had to get creative.
Her remedy for the many lonely miles: Get a dog, a really fast one.
After adopting a 5-year-old vizsla, named Mesa, she and her new best friend were literally off and running. With her faithful companion running 50 to 60 percent of her 100-mile weeks, it was an ideal situation for a formerly unruly canine.
"We were really a match made in heaven," said Porath. "I can't imagine doing what I'm doing as a full-time runner without her."
Vince Sherry, owner of Run Flagstaff in Arizona and a coach for the online-based Run SMART Project, talks of similar relationships with his dogs. The guardian of two border collie mixes, the dogs have long been training partners for Sherry and his wife, Sarah.
"Early mornings we'll get out on the rural trails, and it's just fun to watch them go," said Sherry. "Some of the best memories I've had on runs have been with Baxter and Lucy."
Indeed, the right dog can be the perfect training partner for any endurance athlete. From skijoring (skate skiing with your dog) to canicross (running with your dog), benefits abound for those on both ends of the leash. With just a little training and know-how, you can be running with your pooch in no time.

I would rather watch paint dry. It's more interesting then watching Dolphins inept team.
Please God, let me see 1 Dolphins Superbowl victory before I die.
This team in a word....Boring
I remember watching a game use to mean getting fired up but this product is C-R-A-P
I did leave a game at half earlier this year to work on my truck...I think it was the Titans debacle...Sad
It's hard telling the wife you want to watch the game rather than be with her when they're playing like this.
How sad is it at the end I was screaming for the fg and on sides kick? Yeah 4th and 10 with our WRs mmmmmk
The above post is not subject to penalty under the TOS I declare the Hayden Fox defense. " It is impossible for the staff to know my context therefore I cannot be penalized"
If you walk into a sports bar and ask the waitress which TV has the Dolphins game, she'll give you a dumbfounded look like you're a smelly homeless person who just asked if he could come inside, warm his bones and use the bathroom.
We're like a ****ing disease.

hi, as far as picking them up I use the same bale spears as for round bales. If I am only moving one or two, I built a set of slide on spears. they each fit over the bucket cutting edge and extend to the back inside edge of bucket. My bucket has factory drilled holes there which are for manure tines to be bolted to. Instead I bolted the spear bracket to them. There is one spear on left and one on right side of bucket, both the same type. The center spear is mounted the same way but the spear is elevated about 12" above the other two for stability. Works really slick. Will try to get pictures if you are interested. The loader attachment is much heavier with more spears. I built it so i could lift multiple bales .

I welded a 2" X 48" used pump shaft on a plate and attached to the top side of my bucket, It is held in with a pin into the pipe holding the shaft.So I can take the shaft off when hay season is over

Fred J: Hello and welcome to the forum.
My Father had a pice of 2 1/2 in solid shafting with tow pices of 2x2x1/4 in by 12in long welded on both sides of the shafting. Then from there he mounted the fork on the bucket of the tractor to move round bales around the farm. inthe case of square bales just mount two of them spaces 3 ft apart.

Make a 4 spear attachment for your bucket? Here's a source for spears. http://www.stingerltd.com/products/spears/spears.htm. Their recommended spear sizes are on the bottom and the weld on collars are only $15 apiece.
Can't link to the site but this quote comes from a hay handling article:
Large square balers produce very dense bales ranging from 3x3x6 feet to 4x4x8 feet. The most common is the 3x3x6 foot long, which may be referred to as an intermediate bale in some publications. Operating the balers that make this size bales and handling these bales is very similar to operating the round baler and handling the round bales . Large square balers usually have pre-compression chambers that allow them to produce the denser bales, therefore the suggested hay moisture content for hay that will be large square baled is 15% 9 . Even so, large square bales can weigh up to 1800 pounds. Perhaps the only downside to large bales at present is the high initial equipment cost.

Overview Reviews Details Accessories Articles & Videos by Dominic Devito Strong bass adds a whole new dimension to your car's sound system, and Kicker Comp subwoofers give you tremendous bass value for your dollar. You'll hear and feel the power of Kicker bass without feeling like your wallet just got thumped. Kicker technology at work Each Comp sub features a flex-resistant polypropylene cone with 360-degree back bracing for hard-hitting lows without distortion. The ribbed foam surround offers long excursion and keeps the cone on target, while double stitching ensures your investment won't come apart at the seams. A tough steel basket provides a reliable foundation for big bass, while extensive venting ensures long-lasting performance that won't break down when the bass gets heavy. 8-ohm impedance for multi-sub setups Kicker's 10C108 10" subwoofer handles 150 watts RMS to bring out the depth your music's been missing, and its 8-ohm impedance makes it a great candidate for a multi-sub system. This versatile sub works well in sealed or ported enclosures, and it's even suitable for free-air applications.

A component sub is simply a speaker that's designed to reproduce bass once it's installed in a compatible enclosure. Think about the impact of a movie soundtrack in a big theater or even in your own home HDTV setup. A component sub can add the same kind of power to the music in your car. And a car sub is not all about the boom that you hear on a street corner (although that's cool too) - you can pair a component sub with your choice of enclosure to get bass just the way you like it, from tight and punchy to fat and loose. And once you experience music in your car with a well-tuned subwoofer, you'll never go back.

"Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value This subwoofer is amazing sounds great in my house it is just awesome Pros: Amazing sound quality great build its just perfect Cons: Didn't fit into the box I had but besides that great speaker Was this review helpful? Yes No Perfect Subs for the price Written By Seth M, Waldorf, MD on Monday, December 10, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I bought (2) of these to replace my busted subs and boy do these things pound... It only took 1 day to ship too! I've got my headunit at 0DB bass and the car shakes! It increased my bass by 4x the original amount, it's very clean and tight punch and overall worth the money. If you're looking for a low budget but amazing sound i would highly suggest you buy these. They are easy to install and took less than 10 mins to screw in, I've got them bridged @ 4oHms for the hardest punch my amp offers and the safest impedance rating. I would like to thank every representative that helped me and a big shout of to Sparky, Keith and Steven for helping me choose the proper subwoofer. Pros: Fairly inexpensive Insanely loud Clean and crisp bass Easy to install And well worth the money buy these subs!!! Cons: ABSOLUTELY NONE 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Getting the most out of my low-wattage T-Line Written By TheGDizzo, Garden Grove, CA on Wednesday, November 14, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I've already bought & used two Kicker Comp 8's so I knew what to expect. No surprises on the quality. I have this large T-Line enclosure I originally built around a 4 Ohm DVC 10" driver that was 600 Watts RMS. After building the enclosure I noticed a crack in that driver's cone from it's previous punishment in my car. This T-Line is mated to a low-wattage 2.1 amp anyway so when looking for replacement driver this one matched cutout, depth and was pretty close on FS (Free-Air resonance Hz). And as I guess being a lower wattage rated sub it works better with this amp./setup. And I just love the spring loaded terminals! Pros: Inexpensive, Good Xmax, Shallow-ish Depth, Spring Loaded Push Terminals, Foam Rubber Mounting Gaskets that it laminated to the basket's lip. Was this review helpful?

Ribbed Foam Surround: The optimized ribbed foam surround allows extended cone excursion for additional bass output and higher SPL. The surround is double-stitched to the cone to add a mechanical fastener to the chemical adhesives. This prevents the cone and surround from separating in the harshest conditions. Spiralead Tinsel Leads: The Kicker Comp subwoofer features durable Spiralead tinsel leads, which are woven into the woofer's progressive-roll polycotton spider, for added strength and reliability. Steel Basket with Vented Pole Piece: The Kicker Comp subwoofer features a resilient, steel basket with coil-cooling perimeter venting and a vented pole piece for heat dissipation, so the high-temperature voice coil stays cool. Speaker Terminals: The spring-loaded, nickel-plated terminals provide solid connections for speaker wire up to 10-gauge. Single banana plugs and pin connectors will also fit. Rubber Magnet Boot: A black rubber boot covers the outside edge of the magnet structure to improve the cosmetics of the woofer and protect the magnet during installation. Enclosure Compatibility Enclosure Versatility: The Kicker Comp subwoofer is versatile, performing in vented or sealed enclosures, and in free-air applications as well. Sealed Enclosure Applications: A sealed enclosure design gives the smoothest response with increased energy at the lowest frequency between 20 to 30 Hz. Compact (minimum enclosure volume): 1.0 cu/ft SQ (maximum enclosure volume): 2.4 cu/ft Recommended Vented Box Volume: A vented enclosure design is the choice for loud, high-performance bass for SPL contests. Compact: 1.25 cu/ft with a 1.5" x 10.5" slot port opening that is 14.5" in depth SQ: 1.75 cu/ft with a 1.5" x 10.5" slot port opening that is 13.25" in depth Note: The SQ enclosures generates a flatter response curve and extends sub-bass response. Infinite Baffle Mounting: The Kicker Comp subwoofer does not require a sealed or vented enclosure for good bass performance. The Comp subwoofer is designed to also be used as a free-air driver. The infinite baffle mounting method effectively utilizes the rear deck and trunk space of most sedan type vehicles.

9 of us got together for a very satisfying lunch today at Garden Restaurant in SF Chinatown. Thank you to Melanie for organizing. I took pictures so I'll post them and let others chime in on what they liked and didn't. We went for the Special Set Dinner - B - $138. Substituted the Peking Duck for the Crispy Fried Chicken and added one dish: fried squash and prawns with salty egg yolk batter. Came to $21 each - that includes a nice tip and we got validated parking for 3 officially.
re: gordon wing
forgot one dish: scallop/beef XO ..... it might have been the most forgettable dish? Nice vegetables but not enough XO flavor - scallops not particularly flavorful.
re: gordon wing
As lunch plans go, it's hard to beat sharing a very good meal with fellow 'hounds on a lovely sunny day.
I have never met a kabocha squash fried with salted egg yolk batter that I didn't like, and yesterday was no exception. I agree the technique wasn't up to the standard of Hakka or Zen Peninsula but the Prawns Sauteed with Pumpkin and Salted Egg Yolk was still one of my favorites of the meal. This was the first time I've had shrimp as well as kabocha and the combination really hit the spot.
I was surprised how much I liked the Walnut Prawns. I thought this would be a bland and overly-sweet Americanized dish but it had good flavor and wasn't too sweet.
The Peking Duck wasn't as good as what I've had recently at Cooking Papa in Foster City-- the meat wasn't as juicy or flavorful.
I always look forward to steamed fish at Cantonese restaurants and our steamed bass did not disappoint-- it was perfectly cooked.
The "Dessert of the Day" on the menu was just pieces of orange but given how much food we got for so little money I didn't mind a little overstatement. It was a very satisfying meal and I would definitely return. You can park right across the street at the Portsmouth Square Garage.
Post-lunch, Derek lead a search for dessert souffles. Unfortunately the Hong Kong style snack place was closed and we left disappointed. I wasn't totally sugar-deprived however as sfbing had introduced me to some mochi-like sweets from a shop we passed along the way. After we bid adieu to Derek and headed for the garage she remembered she wanted to pick up some tea and soon we were enjoying a leisurely tea tasting at Red Blossom Tea. Besides finding some really nice pu-erh tea it was the perfect finish to a fine afternoon outing on a sunny Friday.
re: gordon wing
Let me add my two cents.
I found more hits then misses.
The steamed black bass was only a little under cooked but it better under then over
The one only misses was that the seasoning was under stated. The XO was there in name only and I would have like a little more salted egg in the extra dish we ordered.
The chef was right on most of the favoring of the dishes and had a light had in saucing the dishes There was not much left over sauce on left on the dish.
There a rumor where the chef has cooked last I think after talking to our severs he is not from R&G unless was very junior chef. R&G seasoning is more right on.
With said I for one would return to try more soon.
It was a very nice way to start the weekend.
My favorite was the steamed black bass, which was just slightly undercooked at the bone, as it should be. The lobster and mustard greens in broth were also good, fresh and simply prepared. The combination of pumpkin and shrimp covered in salted egg yolk was fun, although the consensus was that Hakka Restaurant's technique was better. Still tasty though.
I thought the sparerib dish was a little too sweet and could have used a touch more acid. The texture of the meat and the cooking technique was good though, and I liked using spareribs as the cut and having to gnaw the meat off the bone. More typically this type of dish uses these huge flat slices of meat that are kind of overtenderized and hard to manuever with chopsticks.
Overall I thought the meal offered good value. The food isn't at the level of R&G, but it was also less than half the price. The restaurant is spacious and clean, and it was very easy to hear people talking from across the table. Service is a bit tetchy, but to be fair, we were perhaps more troublesome than the average group. Can't address how they do Chinese-American food, but I recommend it for people looking for competently executed Cantonese food in Chinatown at a very reasonable price. Also, bonus points for having translated the set menus into english, as opposed to having separate "Chinese-American" menus that bear no resemblance to the Chinese menus.
It was fun meeting everyone! Thanks to melanie for organizing, to Gordon for the photos, to the Chinatown pros for finding the rice noodle place of my fuzzy memories, to...tm.... for making the trip all the way from Berkeley. Also, I'm sorry that derek was thwarted in his quest for a durian souffle, better luck next time!
re: sfbing
The real test . . . would you take your parents there?
Thank you, Gordon, for being the designated photographer and starting the discussion. Hopefully we'll hear from others at the table too.
As I had mentioned in the email to SF Chowdown group, The Garden was affectionately referred to as "Chinese Denny's" during my yuppy days working in the B of A building 25+ years ago. My colleagues and I would grab a bite --- American breakfast or Chinese food --- when we were slaving in the office on weekends when most everything else in FiDi was closed. This thread from last year touches on its past and the recent transformation.
"Chinatown: Garden Restaurant reopens."
Driving by, I had noticed the change in the storefront but didn't dwell on what else might be different inside. Then I heard from some family members who like it so much, they held their Chinese New Year's dinner at The Garden. And they passed on to me the unconfirmed rumor that one of R&G Lounge's former cooks was heading up the kitchen. That got my attention and led to our chowdown.
I'll add my own praise to the accolades for the black bass and the lobster dishes. Clear-steaming is one of the strengths demonstrated here. Both of these were as good as they get. The mustard greens in supreme broth were perfectly cooked and the caramelized cloves of garlic tender and sweet.
Being able to substitute the Peking duck for the fried chicken on the set menu at no extra charge was unexpected. As it turned out, the Peking duck was below average, so I'm glad we didn't have to pay a supplement. Given the kitchen's skill in finessing texture and the seemingly simple (but hard to execute) minimalist type of Cantonese dish, I'd like to try a white poached chicken with ginger-scallion sauce or maybe empress chicken here some time.
I agree that the salted egg yolk was too scant on the prawns and kabocha, but I still really liked the dish and I've run across many bad examples at other restaurants. The crackly, crispness of the coating really, really impressed me and this was also my first time with prawns included in the dish.
Looking for culinary cognates that might indicate a kitchen lineage with R&G, I'd say that the walnut prawns dish was in a similar style. Large prawns with an on-point juicy crunch, very thin crispy veneer underneath a whisper of sauce, and like R&G, not as sugary or goopy as other versions. In fact, The Garden's was even less sweet. The walnut prawns is my mother's favorite dish at R&G, and I feel she'd like this equally well.
I found a photo of the honey glazed spareribs at R&G and my report from 2010,
In comparison, The Garden's execution was better with cleaner butchering, better frying, and a lighter hand with the sauce, though I agree with sfbing that more acidity was in order. Like R&G, no violently red food coloring stains this dish.
The one dish that fell down was the scallops, beef and sugar peas in XO sauce. I've had this many times at R&G, and there it has a similarly light hand with the XO sauce. Here's what R&G's looks like,
The beef cubes at The Garden shared the same ruddy-hue, deep meatiness, and slightly chewy (preferable to over-tenderized in my book) texture. But at The Garden the dish also included carrots and celery, perhaps for color, but also adding cheap filler on the plate. Sadly the scallops were seriously overcooked, losing their sweetness and turning fibrous. This dish was low on XO sauce and salt as well. It did make me wonder if this dish was handed off to a less skilled member of the kitchen brigade de cuisine to crank out on the wok station.
I agree that service was a little slow in parts. There seemed to be one less person on the floor than my earlier visit. Yet, to the kitchen's credit, it managed to turn out a dinner service type meal in the midst of a full restaurant that was mostly ordering lunch plates and/or quick stir-fries. I recall a lunch at Great Eastern that was disappointing when the service staff and kitchen were geared up for dim sum and not our type of meal. The Garden did a better job.
Overall, I was more than pleased with this meal. While a step behind R&G's standard, the quality is still very good, and can beat out the usual suspects in Chinatown at this price level. $138 for the set menu we ordered is a tremendous value. The Garden's cooking is better and the spiffed-up surroundings nicer than Kam Lok, Lichee Garden or New Woey Loy Goey for the same or less money. My family used to frequent the now closed Gold Mountain when we wanted a mid-priced Chinatown dinner. The Garden looks like it will fill that niche for us handily.
This was a great opportunity to share lunch with several hounds and sharing a set menu for lunch felt very luxurious to me. My only disappointment was the Peking duck. As far as I could tell none of the skin was crispy, and many portions weren't fully rendered. I guess it would have been better if we had each smuggled our portion home and recrisped the skin, as the meat was juicy and flavorful (salty). I found the scallops in the beef with XO to be completely flavorless, but likely ate more than my share of the snap peas, enough to detect that there was some of the shredded dried seafood characteristic of XO, though not very much. The black bass was the standout dish for me, especially since I waas granted the honor of a cheek.
I've decided that this is the place I'll take family and friends specifically seeking out the shrimp with walnut prawns dish. I found this version very well executed--shrimp were cooked well, and the sauce wasn't overly sweet or gloopy. (as a side note, I do a lot of home cooking and I've found the shrimp and mayo sauce relatively easy to master, though I'm a long, long way off on the walnuts. The walnuts here were quite good--completely free of the bitter skin, yet crisp and not overly coated in squishy sugars, as several versions are.)
re: ...tm...
tm, since you were talking about the walnuts .... I thought that I'd mention most Chinese recipes for the candied walnuts involve a first step of blanching the walnuts in boiling water to remove the bitterness. makes a huge difference .......

Silva's lesion -- also called a hemangioma -- sits in the brain's left temporal lobe, where mood and memory are formed. But it also puts pressure on the brain's visual center and may explain why Silva sees the world differently.
Cavernous malformations are a relatively uncommon cluster of abnormal, dilated blood vessels. They can bleed, causing weakness, numbness, distorted vision and even epileptic seizures.
The damage from bleeding is cumulative, according to Steven Karceski, associate professor of neurology at New York Presbyterian Hospital, who treated Silva.
"When it's a younger person, you assume they will live into their 70s and 80s," he said. " Unless surgery is done, there is concern for memory and language which is on that side of the brain."
Karceski admits the relationship between brain damage and the artistic process is not well-understood, but admits, "taking away the over-thinking can make the creative process richer."
"I think of the brain as like an orchestra with a lot of different instruments," he told ABCNews.com. "Each brings its own kind of melody or musical notes. Each person in the orchestra is looking to the other person to make the music harmonious and all together they make the symphony. The symphony is like the higher cognitive function."
Dr. Ilya Bogorad met Silva as one of the neurologists on her case at Columbia and said she inspired him to begin a fellowship in the field of epilepsy.
Though controversial, "great creative figures" in history have also suffered from seizures, according to Bogorad, including writers Carroll and Fydor Dostoyevsky, as well as painter Vincent van Gogh.
"Her seizures are more experiences inside," he said.
Whatever the science, Silva said what's going on in her brain makes her a better painter.
"I felt I was not arguing with myself as much," she said. "Painting every emotion taught me to be more detailed with the work. I think before I was holding back."
During the filming of the documentary last summer, Silva and three other untrained artists explored their demons on camera while living and painting together at the Full Moon Art Center in East Moriches, N.Y. -- a sanctuary for artistic innovation.
"For many of these artists, there was a difficult world that they were coping with," said Ronnie Wiener, center director and executive producer of the film. "At some point they had this breakthrough that they could and had to express themselves through the form of art."
"Each had a discovery that their art was their commitment to themselves and their struggles," Wiener told ABCNews.com.
The film's director and Silva's longtime friend, Ross Brodar, agree that her art has become "deeper, darker and more psychological."
"She reminds me of Frida Kahlo," Brodar told ABCNews.com. "Her mortality is gripping her."
Silva's signature painting, "The Warrior of Mananz" (its name drawn from the symbol of self in the ancient Viking runes), sold for $4,000 at the culmination of the documentary.
The 30- by 40-inch painting is rife with animals and symbolism: a woman's brain split open, with a monkey and squirrel atop her head; a swarming bee's nest; and tree branches as intertwined as the venous lesion in Silva's head.
Today, Silva's painting is prolific as she readies for art shows with Brodar in Amsterdam and Berlin, balancing her fear alongside her artistic dreams. She has even begun a writing project, a fantasy book for young adults.
"Most of the time I want to curl up like a ball and wait until the pain goes away," she said. "When [the lesion] presses, it feels like a bunch of earthworms in the brain."
But, she admits, the experience with brain disease has "definitely spiced things up.
"I'm forced to let it be and I'm comfortable with what's going on," said Silva. "I am happy because I have become stronger."
"At first, I felt so alone," she said. "Now, I feel I can have a mad tea party."

Textbook-Related Legislation Moves Forward
On May 10 the Texas House of Representatives passed HB 1172 and forwarded it to the Senate. This bill would restore the State Board of Education's (SBOE) authority to reject textbooks for any reason, a power which has been restricted in recent years by other legislation. Previously Texas had been the scene of spirited creationist attacks on evolution during its textbook adoption process. Because of the size of its educational system Texas exerts considerable influence over publishers and the national textbook marketplace.
Anti-evolution legislation in South Carolina
On April 29 the South Carolina Senate passed S153 and forwarded it to the House of Representatives, where it was referred to the Committee on Education and Public Works. This bill originally dealt with instructional materials for public schools. On April 9 Sen. Michael Fair proposed an amendment which would have required a disclaimer in all kindergarten through 12th grade science books stating "The cause or causes of life are not scientifically verifiable.
HB 1782 Tabled
House Bill 1782 was considered by the Louisiana House of Representatives on April 30. After 15 minutes of discussion on the House floor, the bill was tabled by a vote of 57 to 34, making any further action in this session very unlikely.
Potential anti-evolution legislation in Louisiana
The Louisiana House of Representatives is considering a bill, HB 1782, that "prohibits any branch, department, agency, official, employee, or other entity of state government or of any political subdivision from knowingly printing or distributing material that contains information that is false or fraudulent."
More on Blount County, Tennessee
On April 3, the Blount County Board of Education voted not to adopt three high school biology textbooks because they do not present creationism alongside evolution, according to The Daily Times. The vote to reject the textbooks was 6-1 (contrary to the The Daily Times's previous report that the vote was 2-1 with 4 abstentions). Since the vote, board members have reportedly been inundated with letters and e-mails regarding the vote.

The United States devotes much of its diplomatic and military energies to the Middle East today for a very simple reason: The Middle East is the source of much of the world's energy, and not coincidentally, much of the world's tensions. Tomorrow's source of energy reserves and geopolitical tensions may not be the deserts and densely populated urban areas of the Middle East, but rather the icy waters and desolate tundra of the Arctic. Supply and DemandBefore we get to the simmering tensions in the Arctic, it's important to discuss why the United States, Canada, Russia, Europe and others are so interested in the region. First, there is the matter of supply. The U.S. Geological Survey estimates that the Arctic may hold 1,670 trillion cubic feet of natural gas and 90 billion barrels of oil—30 percent of the world's undiscovered gas and 13 percent of undiscovered oil (USGS). About a third of the oil is in Alaskan territory (Carroll). These oil and gas deposits were always there, of course, but today the cost of extracting them is increasingly justifiable due to market realities. Growing demand, along with decreasing and undependable supplies in the Middle East, are conspiring to push energy prices upwards, which is encouraging exploration in the Arctic. The Energy Information Agency forecasts a 20-percent increase in daily world oil consumption by 2030, owing largely to demand in China and India (EIA). Another important factor in the Arctic energy rush relates to shipping. The fabled Northwest Passage, once frozen throughout most of the year, is thawing. "Opening up the Northwest Passage cuts 4,000 nautical miles off the trip from Europe to Asia," NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen observes. "You can bet a lot of companies have done that math."Zone of Peace?Given the Arctic's vast supply of energy resources and the world's growing energy demands, it's neither surprising nor alarming that Arctic nations are beginning to stake their respective claims. What is alarming is how one Arctic nation is going about this.Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin expressed his desire in 2010 "to keep the Arctic as a zone of peace and cooperation" (Carbonnel). But actions speak louder than words:
It seems Putin is far closer to that view today than he is to his 2010 "zone of peace" promises. "Russia intends without a doubt to expand its presence in the Arctic," he recently boasted. "We are open to dialogue…but naturally, the defense of our geopolitical interests will be hard and consistent" (Shuster). In short, Moscow is signaling its seriousness about claiming most of the Arctic as its own. Fundamental Interests All of this is getting the attention of the United States and its Arctic allies.At the end of the Bush administration, the U.S. issued a new Arctic Region Policy, declaring that "The United States has broad and fundamental national security interests in the Arctic region and is prepared to operate either independently or in conjunction with other states to safeguard these interests" (White House).Similarly, the Obama administration has emphasized that "The United States has an inherent national interest in knowing, and declaring to others with specificity, the extent of our sovereign rights with regard to the U.S. extended continental shelf" (U.S. Extended Continental Shelf Project).Together, the U.S. and Canada are conducting missions to map the continental shelf. Demarcating the shelf is vital to determining how the Arctic pie is divided. As my Fraser Institute colleague Alex Moens and I have written elsewhere, "Russia's outsized Arctic claims rest on a dubious interpretation of an underwater ridge linking to the Russian landmass. Russia argues that this ridge is an extension of its own continental shelf."Some observers contend that joining the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) will help America secure its Arctic claims—and limit Russia's. Unlike its Arctic neighbors, the U.S. has not ratified UNCLOS, even though the treaty has support in the military and among leaders from both parties. "The Arctic is changing," observes Adm. Gary Roughead, chief of naval operations from 2007 to 2011. "The most important thing is to become party to the Convention of the Law of the Sea. If we are not party to that treaty, we will not have a seat at the table as this unfolds" (Cavas). Vice President Joseph Biden has argued that UNCLOS "allows us to secure and extend our sovereign rights" (Abrams). The Bush administration's Arctic policy called on the Senate to pass the treaty "promptly."Critics, however, worry that the treaty could limit U.S. sovereignty and freedom of action. Zone of Conflict?With or without the treaty, it's only prudent for the U.S. and its Arctic allies to develop some sort of security component to the Arctic puzzle. "We can't wish away the security implications," Rasmussen observes. "An entire side of North America will be much more exposed."The United States already maintains some 20,000 active-duty forces in Alaska and holds routine exercises in the region. "Northern Edge" exercises, for example, have featured airborne drops, close-air support, port security, harbor defense, supply-route protection and critical-infrastructure protection—just the sort of operations that might be necessary to keep the Arctic and its waterways open (Elmendorf AFB).The U.S. is not alone.
One reason a military presence will be necessary is the possibility of accidents caused by drilling and shipping. In addition, competition for Arctic resources could lead to confrontation. Adm. James Stavridis, who serves as NATO's military commander, concedes that the Arctic could become "a zone of conflict" (UPI).To brace for that possibility and thwart Russia's Arctic fait accompli, the United States, Canada, Denmark and Norway—all NATO members and Arctic nations—should follow the Cold War playbook: build up the assets needed to defend their interests, use those assets to deter aggression, and deal with Moscow from a posture of strength and unity.The challenge is to remain open to cooperation while bracing for worst-case scenarios. After all, Russia is not the Soviet Union. Even as Putin and his puppets make mischief, Moscow is open to making deals. Russia and Norway, for instance, recently resolved a long-running boundary dispute, paving the way for development in 67,000 square-miles of the Arctic. Moreover, the U.S., Russia, Canada, Denmark and Norway have agreed on Arctic search-and-rescue responsibilities (Cummins).In a world of increasingly integrated markets, we know there is much to gain from Arctic cooperation and much to lose from protracted military standoff. But we also know that dealing naively with Moscow carries a heavy cost—and that integration is a two-way street. "Russian leaders today yearn not for integration," the Brookings Institution's Robert Kagan concludes, "but for a return to a special Russian greatness." In short, Russia is more interested in recreating the autarky of some bygone era than in the shared benefits of globalization. Framework for PartnershipDealing with Russia is about power. As Churchill once said of his Russian counterparts, "There is nothing they admire so much as strength, and there is nothing for which they have less respect than for weakness."When the message is clear—or "hard and consistent," to use Putin's language—Russia will take a cooperative posture. When the message is unclear, Russia will take what it can get. Just consider Russia's contrasting treatment of its neighbors: Moscow blusters about Poland and the Baltic states but keeps its hands off, largely because they are protected by the U.S.-NATO umbrella. Conversely, Russia bullies Ukraine, garrisons its troops—uninvited—in Moldova, and occupies Georgian territory. The common denominator of these unfortunate countries: They have no U.S. security guarantee. Russia should be given an opportunity to participate as a responsible partner in Arctic development. But if Russia continues to take Putin's hard line, the U.S. and its allies are left with few other options than standing together or allowing Russia to divide and conquer. To avoid that, the allies may need to agree among themselves on lines of demarcation, transit routes and exploration rights—and then pool their resources to protect their shared interests. This will require investment in Arctic capabilities. For instance, the U.S. has only three polar icebreakers, two of which have exceeded their projected 30-year lifespan (O'Rourke). Russia can deploy 20 icebreakers. "We have extremely limited Arctic response capabilities," explains Adm. Robert Papp, USCG commandant. Noting that the Coast Guard has "the lead role in ensuring Arctic maritime safety, security and stewardship," Papp urges Congress "to start building infrastructure up there" (Joling and Papp).Washington's defense cuts will only exacerbate these gaps, especially as Russia's oil-aided boom enables it to retool its armed forces. Investing just 1.1 percent of its GDP on defense, Canada faces even greater challenges in defending its Arctic interests. But if the allies can combine their Arctic capabilities—each filling a niche role—and agree on a common approach to Arctic security, the framework to put those capabilities into practice is arguably already in place. Jointly operated by the U.S. and Canada, NORAD could serve as the model for an Arctic security partnership. Just as NORAD defends North American airspace, an allied maritime arrangement under the NORAD rubric could provide for security in Arctic waters. It's worth noting that maritime surveillance was added to NORAD's responsibilities in 2006. And in 2011, the Pentagon shifted responsibility for most Arctic operations to Northern Command (NORTHCOM), headed up by the same person who commands NORAD (Elliot). PreparingBracing for military eventualities in the Arctic is not armchair alarmism. In fact, Gen. Gene Renuart, former NORTHCOM commander, reported in 2008 that U.S. officials were beginning to explore ways to "posture NORAD…to provide the right kind of search and rescue, military response, if need be, and certainly security for whatever activities occur in the Arctic.""In order to ensure a peaceful opening of the Arctic," adds Adm. James Winnefeld, current NORTHCOM commander, "DOD must anticipate today the Arctic operations that will be expected of it tomorrow."In other words, the goal in preparing for worst-case scenarios and shoring up allied resolve in the Arctic is not to trigger a military confrontation, but to prevent one.

Amber's Lev Grossman Adventure:
Guess where I saw Lev Grossman?? Yes yes yes! at a Harry Potter conference–Leakycon 2009 to be exact. He read from The Magicians (which hadn't been released yet) and I swooned a little. Click here to see his post on Leakycon. I have since read The Magicians and found it very sublime–like the hopeful, melancholic feeling I get on very foggy days. The book is often referred to "Harry Potter for adults," but I think it is more "John Green plus magic."
Since my adventure was kind of uneventful (I didn't have the nerve to go talk to him because I didn't have my usual "can you sign this?" to fall back on and everyone else talking to him were saying super smart things so I just eavesdropped…), here is Lev and Peter La of Techland getting pwnd in Halo 3 by Lil Poison–the world's youngest professional gamer:

ORIENT — The Murray girls basketball team received a huge lift from its bench in a 55-45 win over Orient-Macksburg here on Thursday.
Sophomore Deena Snyder scored 10 straight points during a stretch that spanned the first quarter into the second quarter, keeping the Mustangs in the ballgame.
Fittingly, with Orient-Macksburg still hanging around in the closing minutes of the ballgame, it was Snyder's two baskets at the end that sealed the win for Murray, now 7-2 for the season.
"The girls played a good game tonight," Orient-Macksburg head coach Kelli Goodale said. "They worked hard out there and did a good job of forcing some turnovers on defense."
Snyder finished with a game-high 18 points off the bench.
After the two teams entered the second quarter tied at 11-11, the Mustangs held a 25-20 advantage at the half.
Orient-Macksburg, now 0-10 for the season, opened the second half with Morgan James making a layup after a backdoor cut and Shyla Waldhauser hit 1-of-2 free throws to cut the lead to 25-23.
Moments later, after a Snyder basket made the score 31-25 in favor of Murray, Orient-Macksburg went on a 6-0 run to tie the game up at 31.
James hit a jumper from the wing, followed by a turnaround jumper from the baseline by Chandy Waldhauser. James capped the run with a steal that led to a layup for two of her team-high 13 points.
But, Murray junior Kate Patton knocked down a big 3-pointer from the corner on the ensuing Mustang possession, and Madison Gonseth hit a jumper to give Murray a 36-31 lead entering the fourth quarter.
The Bulldogs opened the fourth quarter on a 5-2 run to cut the lead to 38-36, but left several points on the board, shooting just 3-of-6 from the free throw line during that stretch.
After a Courtney Siefkas basket put Murray up 40-36, Gabby Jenkins knocked down two free throws to cut the lead to two points once again.
But, a Patton layup off a backdoor cut, followed by a Cheyanne Ashby basket quickly stretched the lead back to six.
One free throw from Tara Guion and two more free throws by Jenkins brought the Bulldogs back to within three at 44-41, but that was a close as Orient-Macksburg could get the rest of the way.
Jenkins and Shannon Eads each scored nine points for Orient-Macksburg, while Patton scored 12 and Siefkas added 10 for the Mustangs.
"You could tell that we hadn't played since Dec. 14," Murray head coach Jerry Shields said. "We were in foul trouble all night long, losing two and two others with four fouls. We have a lot of games coming up quickly, so we have to regroup fast."

The Incredible Lake Toba and Samosir Island

Between 69,000 and 77,000 years ago, one of the most spectacular geological events in earth's history occurred on the island of Sumatra: the mega eruption of Mount Toba Supervolcano. The eruption was the latest in a series of at least three caldera-forming eruptions that occurred at the volcano, with earlier calderas having formed around 700,000 and 840,000 years ago. The last eruption was estimated to have Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) of 8, - described as mega-colossal- and is still believed to be the largest explosive eruption anywhere on earth in the past 25 million years. To give an idea of its magnitude, consider that although the eruption took place in Indonesia, it deposited ash layers of approximately 15-cm (5.9-inch) thick over the entire South Asia. At one site in central India, the Toba ash layer can still be found today to a 6 m (20 ft) thickness.
Out of that great catastrophic event, a colossal caldera was formed which was gradually filled with water and created what we know today as Lake Toba. While at the center of the lake, the rising caldera floor also formed the enchanting Samosir Island, caused by movements in the magma chamber beneath it.
Today, Lake Toba is the perfect place to sit back, relax and absorb the beauty that lies in its pristine sceneries. As one sits and takes in the view of the picturesque mountains set against the cool clear lake, all the burdens of daily life will melt away. Samosir Island, at the center of the Lake, offers more mystifying wonders. Mountains steeped in cool mist, clear waterfalls to swim under and locals taking their water buffalo out in the fields, are just to name a few. Here, one can also discover the legendary hospitality of the Batak people. Wherever you go, it won't take you long to make a new friend.

French Montana's Big Time Guide to Picking Up Chicks
Moroccan-raised South Bronx, N.Y., transplant French Montana has been married since 2007, so when he spoke with The BoomBox last week, we were planning to ask the recent Bad Boy signee to help us pen a "Married Man's Guide to Picking Up Chicks." Sadly for everyone involved, he informed us that his marriage had dissolved earlier this year.
Instead, we rode a different wave with the "Pop That" creator, who
