There are many factors that influence the success or failure of an event.

Rosemont is my second home - I love being around my teammates and professors. Professor Ledebur has been a big part of my success in the Education program.
I love being an education major at Rosemont because of the small classes and the professors are outstanding! We learn a lot while managing to have fun doing different activities as a class.
The education program at Rosemont is tremendous. The professors have a broad range of knowledge in education and pass that knowledge to the students who are aspiring teachers. I'm also a senior captain of the basketball team and enjoy the leadership opportunity.
I believe that children are our future, which is why I chose to major in education at Rosemont. I am excited to become part of the lives of our future leaders. I too, want to be a leader.
As a student, I work at the Academic Support Center. I enjoy it because I get to help and meet so many different people. Plus, I can share my wonderful Rosemont experiences with everyone - even prospective students.
I love that I can stand out in and outside of the classroom. As an education major, I appreciate the professors' varied backgrounds in education and the one-on-one time I get. I want to be a person who inspires, just as I have been inspired here at Rosemont.

Producers reopen New Jersey facilities after Sandy's damage assessed (updated)
3:35 PM MST | November 5, 2012 | Lindsay Frost
Producers are starting to resume normal operations as they continue to assess the impact of Hurricane Sandy in northeast United States, particularly New Jersey. "The biggest issue is energy and electricity supply," says Elvin Montero, director of communications and issues management for the Chemistry Council of New Jersey (CCNJ). Several companies have reported that they are waiting for the return of electricity to restart plants. Companies are still conducting assessments, but damage appears minor. As of Friday, 2 November, there are no reports...

The Winter Reading Program is here! And it's pretty darn cool. Get this — just for checking out books and reading, you could win yourself a Wii! Everyone can participate: Mom, Dad, son, daughter, cousin, aunt, uncle, great-great-great grandma, third cousin twice removed — get the whole family involved! You can even compete against each other. Here's how it works:
Stop by either the Main Library or the Fairmount Branch to pick up your official reading log. Logs will be available all over the library. You'll be skiing down a mountain on your log, and once you get to the bottom, you're done! You can fill out the entry slip, and bring it back to the library for a chance to win one of two Nintento Wii gaming systems. Check out some books — and you've skied your first stretch of the mountain. Read for fifteen minutes — the next stretch is done. Keep on doing this, and in no time you'll be down the mountain, and that much closer to winning your own Wii.
And just because you've gotten down the mountain once, you're not done! Keep on checking out books and reading them, and you can keep on submitting entries for the Wii. Enter as many times as you like! The ski fest is over on March 13, 2010, and we'll draw the winners at Family Story Time on Tuesday March 16, at the Fairmount Branch. You don't need to be there to win, but if you are, you could walk home that night with a brand new Wii. Just for reading!
So get to either Davenport Public Library, get yourself a log, and start skiing!

Kosher Bread
|Cinnamon Buns with Cream Cheese Glaze
by Susie Fishbein, Kosher by Design cookbook series
Children from all over my neighborhood call to request a batch of these amazingly gooey cinnamon buns. I use a separate bread machine for dairy recipes. If you dont, you can use nondairy creamer in place of the milk in the dough. Obviously the rest of the recipe will remain dairy, but your bread machine will stay parve. You can also make the dough by hand if you dont own a bread machine. Credit for this recipe goes to the allrecipes.com website.
Cinnamon Buns:
1 cup dark brown sugar, firmly packed
Cinnamon Buns:
After the dough has doubled or the cycle is complete, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface; cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon.
Roll the dough into a 16- by 21-inch rectangle. Spread the dough with the 1?3 cup butter and sprinkle with the brown sugar/cinnamon mixture.
Starting with the long side of the rectangle, roll up the dough. Cut into 12-14 slices.
Place the rolls in a lightly greased 9- by 13-inch baking pan. Its okay if it doesnt fill the pan, the rolls will expand. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake the rolls about 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Yield: 12-14 servings
Recipes: Bread, Cinnamon Buns, Cream Cheese Glaze, Dairy, Kosher

Gallery: Clunky Old School Bus Converted into a Sweet Earthy Home With ...
It's not always warm up in the mountains, so this beauty has a rustic wood-fired stove that you'd see in any earthy library, except this one is keeping a small bus nice and toasty. To keep it from being over-heated though, it's possible to simply crack a window to promote natural ventilation.
The bus home is lined with wholesome timber and features the same kind of secure shelving and furniture that one might see on a boat to ensure minimum disturbance during travel. It also comes with fully functioning plumbing. Although old vehicles such as these aren't the most fuel-efficient, and it would be unwise to travel too much, it seems almost certain that overall this project has a smaller carbon footprint than the average new home.

text: Dr. Carlo introduced the concept of the Rubber Dove in the late 1940s when he manufactured them and sold them through his Ohio magic shop.White doves are used in magic acts because 1) doves can be controlled to not fly very well, 2) doves tend to be very calm and quiet when confined in small spaces, and 3) the white color shows up well on stage.The White Dove has been one of the most universal symbols of love, peace and safety throughout history. In the Old Testament, Noah released a dove from the Ark after forty days and forty nights of rain. The dove returned with the twig of an olive tree in its beak, signifying that the flood had ended and that it was safe to venture out of the Ark. This is the origin of the symbol of the dove and olive branch. Interested in magic history?

Interpretive Handbook
8844 :
von Willebrand Factor Multimer Analysis, Plasma
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
von Willebrand factor (VWF) is a large multimeric plasma glycoprotein that performs 2 critical functions in hemostasis:
-VWF is a ligand and mediates platelet adhesion to the subendothelial matrix at the site of vessel wall injury by binding to the constitutively active platelet receptor glycoprotein (GP)-Ib, V, IX complex, and to subendothelial matrix collagen
-VWF is a carrier molecule for procoagulant factor VIII in the circulation, increasing the factor VIII half-life 5-fold. Under conditions of high shear, VWF also mediates platelet-platelet cohesion by binding to the platelet receptor GP-IIb/IIIa (integrin alpha IIb beta3)
A bleeding disorder, von Willebrand disease (VWD), occurs when VWF is quantitatively deficient or qualitatively abnormal. VWD manifests clinically as easy bruising, mucocutaneous bleeding (eg, epistaxis, menorrhagia), and bleeding after trauma or surgery. VWD is the most common of the inherited bleeding disorders, and can also occur on an acquired basis.
Plasma VWF consists of a series of multimers varying in size from dimers to multimers over 40 subunits (>10 million Daltons). The largest multimers provide multiple binding sites that can interact with both platelet receptors and subendothelial matrix sites of injury, and are the most hemostatically active form of VWF.
Inherited VvWD has been classified into 3 types:
-Type 1, typically an autosomal dominant disease, is the most common, accounting for approximately 70% of VvWD patients. It represents a quantitative deficiency of VWF of variable severity.
-Type 2, which is usually an autosomal dominant disease, is characterized by several qualitative abnormalities of vFWVFW . Four subtypes have been identified: 2A, 2B, 2M, and 2N.
-Type 3, an autosomal recessive disorder, leads to severe disease with extremely reduced or undetectable levels of VWF, as well as very low levels of factor VIII.
Acquired von Willebrand syndrome (AVWS) is associated with a number of different disease states and is caused by several different pathophysiological mechanisms, including antibody formation, proteolysis, binding to tumor cells with increased clearance, and decreased synthesis. AVWS is most frequently described in patients with dysproteinemias (including monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance [MGUS], multiple myeloma, and macroglobulinemia), lymphoproliferative disorders, myeloproliferative disorders (eg, essential thrombocythemia), autoimmune diseases (eg, systemic lupus erythematosus), severe aortic stenosis, gastrointestinal angiodysplasia, and hypothyroidism.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Subtyping of von Willebrand factor (VWF):
-When results of complementary laboratory tests (eg, F8A / Coagulation Factor VIII Activity Assay, Plasma; VWFX / von Willebrand Activity, Plasma; and VWAG / von Willebrand Factor Antigen, Plasma) are abnormally low or discordant.
-This test is primarily used to identify variants of type 2 VWF.
-As an aid determining appropriate treatment
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
The plasma von Willebrand factor (VWF) multimer analysis is a qualitative visual assessment of the size spectrum and the banding pattern of VWF multimers.
This test is used to identify variants of type 2 von Willebrand disease that have fewer of the largest multimers, have unusually large multimers, or have qualitatively abnormal "bands" that indicate an abnormal VWF structure.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
von Willebrand factor (vWF) multimer analysis is not useful if:
-The following tests are normal
- F8A / Coagulation Factor VIII Activity Assay, Plasma
- VWFX / von Willebrand Factor Activity, Plasma
- VWAG / von Willebrand Factor Antigen, Plasma
-The vWF activity:vWF antigen ratio is > or =0.8
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
An interpretive report will be provided.

Round 19 - United States 16-18 November 2012
Circuit Length:5.516 km
2012 Results
Pole Position:Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull Renault), 1:35.657 = 207.478 km/h
1st:Lewis Hamilton (McLaren Mercedes), 1:35.55.269 (av. race speed = 192.911 km/h)

Fastest Lap:Vettel, 1:39.347 = 199.772 km/h on lap 56
They do things big in Texas – and now you can add Grand Prix racing to that list. A Sunday crowd of just under 120,000 brought the overall attendance at Austin's inaugural race to over a quarter of a million and they were treated to a brilliant race on a track that looks set fair to provide Formula 1 with the permanent American home it has been seeking for half a century. It was the 52nd Grand Prix on US soil and the Circuit of The Americas will legitimately expect to stage many more.
The race went to Lewis Hamilton, who produced one of his finest performances to win his fourth race of the season and the 21st of his career. Keen to sign off from McLaren Mercedes with a flourish, and "just having fun" now that he is no longer in the title hunt, Hamilton harried pole-sitter and race leader Sebastian Vettel relentlessly, passing him under DRS at Turn 12 on lap 42 of 56 and winning with six-tenths to spare. Third, but half a minute off the two front-runners' pace, was Fernando Alonso, who is now 13 points adrift of Vettel as their title showdown goes right to the final race in Brazil next Sunday.
"What made the difference today between Seb and me? I wanted it more, that's what!" said a jubilant Hamilton, who looked back to his victory five years ago for the same team at Indianapolis. "I won the last United States Grand Prix, in 2007, so, to come back and win it again – in front of such a great crowd – feels very special indeed. There are a couple of Grands Prix that are somehow out on their own: there's Monaco, Silverstone, Montreal, Spa and Monza. Now you can add this circuit to that list – it's already one of the best racetracks in the world, maybe even right up there in the top three." He almost lost his voice on the slow-down lap as he screamed to his crew: "This was my best win, guys – this was wicked!"
Desperate to add victory to pole position in his 100th Grand Prix, Vettel vented his anger against back-marker Narain Karthikeyan when Hamilton caught them both at the end of the long straight, but quickly put things in perspective. "He used his chance well, I tried to cover the inside but he had more speed down the straight," he said. "I respect the positions; Lewis beat us fair and square." Vettel's 18 points leave him firmly in the driving seat for a third title,13 ahead of Alonso with just the Brazilian round to come; they also mean that Red Bull have secured their third successive Constructors' World Championship.
As a footnote to Vettel's recent controversial language on the Abu Dhabi podium, the World Champion redeemed himself with a touch of humour on the Austin podium. All three drivers came out with Texas cowboy hats on; when the team PR people handed them their mandatory caps, Vettel promptly parked his hat on the head of Mario Andretti, the 1978 World Champion – and the last man from the USA to win a World Championship Grand Prix.
Red Bull's constructors' title happened despite another no-score for Australia's Mark Webber. He qualified strongly in third place and made a terrific start to pass Hamilton and steal second place on the opening lap. But the McLaren bit back on lap 4 and by quarter-distance Webber's race was over. Shortly after the team radioed the news that his KERS had failed yet again, Webber pulled off the circuit and parked with alternator failure – the problem that has dogged the team this season. "We had low battery voltage for a few laps before and then I lost gearbox sync and KERS, something was happening on the battery side," Webber explained. "It's frustrating as we had a reasonable start to the race and a good fight with Lewis. We had issues to manage, but even when I knew we had them we tried to keep going and get something out of it, but we had to stop." The worse news is that Hamilton has now leap-frogged Webber into fourth place in the drivers' standings.
Alonso qualified a lowly ninth, but was promoted to eighth when Romain Grosjean's gearbox change dropped the Lotus driver five places. That put Alonso on the dirty side of the track. Half an hour before race start came the news that Felipe Massa's Ferrari had one of its engine seals broken and that the Brazilian too would drop five places – conveniently shifting Alonso to the clean side. He made his trademark blistering start, but simply did not have the pace to catch the two ahead of him at the end. "It was an unexpected podium which came at the end of a difficult weekend," said the Spaniard. "We did not have the pace to match Red Bull and McLaren, so to only lose three points to Vettel is in fact a nice present."
With Massa coming through to a fine fourth place, Jenson Button brought the second McLaren into fifth. He started 12th after a throttle pedal problem in Q2, dropped to 15th but fought strongly – including a hairy moment when Michel Schumacher squeezed him hard to the left on the approach to Turn 1 on lap 10. "It was great to race in front of so many fantastically enthusiastic American fans – they looked like they really enjoyed themselves," said Button, now just four points behind Webber. "Before we arrived here, we knew we were going to have to put on a good show, and I think we did just that. There was action and suspense all the way through, which is exactly what you need to create a great sporting spectacle. I really hope the US will now embrace Formula 1 at last."
Abu Dhabi winner Kimi Raikkonen was sixth after a difficult early phase. "It was an okay day, but not a very easy one for us," said the Finn. "I got a bad start and then I touched with a Force India at the second corner so I lost a few more places. After that the car was okay and I could get past some of the others. Basically, it was a race where we were just depending on the tyres to be in their window. I'm still 3rd in the championship and we'll do everything we can to maintain this position until the end." Teammate Grosjean had an early spin but fought back hard to claim seventh.
Nico Hulkenberg's Force India took eighth ahead of the two Williams cars – but their race could have ended in disaster. Stuck behind Hulkenberg after their stops, Bruno Senna could see teammate Pastor Maldonado coming – and knew he would be making an attack. It came with four laps to go when the Venezuelan dived up the inside out of Turn 1. "I wasn't going to close the door as we needed the points for the team," the Brazilian said. Dan Ricciardo's Toro Rosso was 12th behind 'home' favourite Sergio Perez, who had a ragged weekend in his second-last outing for Sauber.

The California School Information Services (CSIS) program is a statutorily authorized local educational entity with the mission to:
- Build the capacity of local educational agencies (LEAs) to implement and maintain comparable, effective, and efficient student information systems that will support LEA daily program needs and promote the use of information for decision making by school, district, and county staffs.
- Enable the accurate and timely exchange of student transcripts between LEAs and post secondary institutions.
- Assist LEAs to transmit state reports electronically to the California Department of Education (CDE), thereby reducing the reporting burden of LEA staff.
- Assist LEAs to assign and maintain Statewide Student Identifiers (SSIDs).
The CSIS program office is under the administrative oversight of the Fiscal Crisis and Management Assistance Team, which is operated by the Kern County Office of Education. The CSIS program and the CDE collaborate on a number of projects including the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System (CALPADS). This data system is the foundation of California's K–12 education data system. It maintains individual-level data including student demographic, program participation, grade level, enrollment, course enrollment and completion, discipline, state assessment, teacher assignment, and other data required to meet state and federal reporting requirements. Data will be linked longitudinally using a unique, non-personally identifiable SSID. The CDE and CSIS have collaborated for years in the development of CALPADS. While CALPADS is a CDE-owned data system, CSIS provides technical assistance and training to LEAs, provides system maintenance, and staffs the system support desk. For information about CALPADS, visit the CDE's CALPADS Web page.

Local entrepreneurs got aboard the Startup Maryland bus at College of Southern Maryland campuses Tuesday to pitch their ideas and products to potential investors.
Representatives of Startup Maryland, an organization that highlights and supports local entrepreneurs, are driving across Maryland in an effort called Pitch Across Maryland to give local entrepreneurs the opportunity to promote their businesses and possibly win a contest for additional business support.
�We�re trying to shine a light on the undiscovered and give them a megaphone to what they are doing,� Mike Binko said. He is a co-organizer of Startup Maryland and an entrepreneur.
The bus, painted in the colors of Maryland�s flag, features a video room in the back of the bus where entrepreneurs recorded their three- to five-minute pitches.
Startup Maryland is recording entrepreneurial pitches and will post them online in October, where people will get to vote for the videos. Eight videos will be chosen and those entrepreneurs will present their pitches Nov. 13 with the chance to win business production services worth $1,000, said Julie Lenzer Kirk, a co-organizer with Startup Maryland.
The bus has been to the Eastern Shore so far, recording 75 pitches, already more than the 50 pitches Startup Maryland projected, Kirk said. She also is the executive director for the Maryland Center for Entrepreneurship.
On Tuesday, the bus stopped at each of the College of Southern Maryland campuses in La Plata, Leonardtown and Prince Frederick.
In La Plata, 12 businesses and several more entrepreneurs hopped aboard to get recorded.
Some of the local entrepreneurs were nervous before getting their pitches taped, but found the experience to be much better than imagined.
LaTonya Barton of Kingdomware Technologies marketed her company�s Business Notifier that communicates with employees about emergencies, events and other concerns through text messages, emails or other forms of instant communication.
�It wasn�t as bad as I thought it would be,� Barton said, adding that Angela Singleton, a business mentor with the Maryland Technology Development Corp., had helped her to prepare.
Maryland TEDCO is one of several sponsors and supporters of Pitch Across Maryland, along with the Maryland Department of Business & Economic Development, the University of Maryland and many others.
Barton said winning the contest was not the primary goal of her participation, but added that winning the support would help.
�I�m hoping to be able to increase our business and increase our exposure as we expand into new locations and new markets,� she said.
Others needed to do a couple of tapings, but that didn�t sway Heidi Briguglio of Azure B LLC, as she said Binko was encouraging her throughout the process.
Briguglio markets a compact composter, which allows users to create compost in a 1.5-gallon container and features fast-eating worms that expedite the composting process.
�For me, it is a time saver to be able to access the many services that are available as entrepreneurs — that I don�t need to wait behind a computer to do,� Briguglio said, who runs the business with her boyfriend, Stefano Briguglio.
Kirk noted that part of entrepreneurship is going through tough times and rebounding from those experiences.
The tour not only gave the opportunity for entrepreneurs to tape their pitches, but also for entrepreneurs to connect with one another.
Darlene Breck, who owns Southern Maryland Business Center and is the secretary of the county�s chamber of commerce executive committee, said that she was wishing them the best of luck in their pitches.
�Every entrepreneur has their story, and everyone has a story to tell,� Breck said.
SouthernMarylandTV.com producers Darryl and Renee Pugh not only did an entrepreneurial pitch, they interviewed the entrepreneurs themselves.
The business records interview-like commercials for businesses, Darryl Pugh said.
The entrepreneurs also encouraged one another as they entered and exited the recording room.
Local economic support organizations expressed praise for the event.
�It was much better than we originally thought,� said Steven Wall, the Southern Maryland office manager of the state Department of Business & Economic Development adding, �For the amount of time we had, it shows folks we have entrepreneurs out there.�
Marcia Keeth, director of business retention and expansion with the county�s Economic Development Department, said she was �blown away� by the interest expressed from people who participated.
�These entrepreneurs are really the foundation of business growth in Southern Maryland,� Keeth said.
The department considers finding startups and helping them to grow to be very important, she added, noting that the department is available to help year-round.
Others expressed thanks for the services offered by Startup Maryland.
�I�m glad they�re able to see all the nooks and crannies in Maryland. I�m happy to see them bring their resources right to your doorstep,� said Tracy Jones, who owns a student-athlete development company called Fam-First Athletics.
Although Pitch Across Maryland was intended to be a one-time event, entrepreneurs told Kirk they looked forward to seeing the bus next year.
�Maybe we�ll make this an annual thing,� Kirk said.

William Quarrier, successful Glasgow shoe retailer, began caring for orphaned and destitute children in Glasgow in the early 1870s. He, himself, had experienced a very impoverished childhood, a situation which he overcame through hard work, determination and Christian faith.
Realising large institutional orphanages offered little in the way of a home environment to children in their care, Quarrier determined from an early age to set up a children's village, where poor children from the towns and cities of Scotland might enjoy a new life in cottage homes, under the supervision of house fathers and house mothers.
With the support of a growing band of committed supporters, Quarrier was able to purchase land at Bridge of Weir, Renfrewshire, some 15 miles south west of Glasgow, and began to set up the Orphan Homes of Scotland (now Quarriers).
Over the next 20 years, the Orphan Homes developed as a self contained community comprising over 40 children's cottages, Mount Zion Church, a large school, a fire station, workshops, farms and other facilities. William Quarrier also opened the first TB sanitarium in Scotland next to the village and set in train plans for a care facility for people with epilepsy, which opened in 1906, three years after Quarrier's death.
The Orphan Homes continued operating much as Quarrier had begun until the late 1970s to 1980s. During the 1920s and the 1930s, over 1,500 children lived in the village at any one time. In total, between 1878 and the mid 1980s, over 30,000 children were cared for in Quarrier's children's village.
Major changes in childcare practice and legislation caused a drastic reduction in the number of children cared for in Quarriers Village during the 1970s and 1980s. Over the ensuing years, and particularly since 1993, major changes have taken place in Quarriers in respect of the range of services it provides and where they are provided.
Further History
Watch a film 'Til We Meet Again' was made by young people who live in Quarriers Village today. It was made possible through a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund.

The right says it was right
Forget the president's talk about unity, of bringing together red states and blue states, Republicans are saying. Monday's speech showed that all of President Barack Obama's words amounted to feel-good rhetoric to win votes, conservative commentators and lawmakers said. Here's a roundup of what the right really thinks of Obama's inaugural address.
'The speech should debunk two myths about Mr. Obama and his presidency, both trumpeted by liberal commentators and Democratic activists. One is that the president is really a pragmatist and a centrist. Not so. Only an ideologically committed liberal could have delivered the address that Mr. Obama did. … The other myth is that Mr. Obama is eager to compromise with Republicans but has faced unprecedented obstructionism on their part. The speech told a different tale. It showed the president bent on pursuing an agenda with few if any sweeteners for Republicans.' Conservative columnist Fred Barnes in the Wall Street Journal.(Photo: POLITICO Screen grab)

My first post:
I was asked to build something like this for a Boy Scout hut. I was think the same except more meat. The post would be 3" pipe and since a sawzell was mentioned I'll make them work for it by filling with concrete.

I don't see why you couldn't fill the corner posts of Monte55's fence wth concrete/cement.
It may not make it cut proof but I think it would be awful hard on sawzall blades.
You may not be able to stop thieves, but you can sure slow them down.
Make it easier to steal someone elses.

nice job!!!
theives are what they are they dont like to work for their money or they would have a job. their is know way to make anything full proof. but i think his idea has great merit. they would be more likely to steal the one next door than the one with the cage around it. just for the fact they would not have to make as much noise and like i said above they would not have to work to get it. now if they steal all of the rest of the ones in the area. they would probly steel that one to but i bet it would be last.
Hot water services get stolen in my area.
Some builders install them with a cage around them that is dyna bolted to the wall without the nut welded or deformed. They just unbolt that too.
Thieves get extra money when they sell the unit with the cage.
Cant believe people/builders so dumb. DEFORM THE NUTS.

Great idea - Thanks for sharing!
I like that idea. I have a brother that owned 3 houses in Detroit. While they were vacant, theives broke in and gutted the entire house, especially the copper. This was devastating for my brother as he lived in AZ at the time. A gate like this may have deterred the thieves from robbing his houses.
A couple improvements I would make to this is to put one more rail from side to side in the center so they cant just bend the bars and squeeze through. Also, if there are not flanges to bolt to the floor, add them. I could see thieves making a few cuts, but if they have to do a lot of work (like one of the previous posts stated) then they'll just walk away.
Excellent work and keep the ideas coming!
Thanks for sharing,

Because we are emotinally obligated to cover every single thing to do with Les Misérables, please enjoy a slideshow of beautiful
oil portraits photographs of the cast, shot by Annie Leibovitz for the December issue of American Vogue.
Aside from a much-needed look at Helena Bonham Carter and Sacha Baron Cohen as The Thénardiers, this rich, expressive spread also offers certain proof that — haters be damned — Anne Hathaway is going to make a great Fantine.
In addition to the glory of seeing the actors frozen in full costume — ready to be added to your already-robust Les Misérables shrine — we have to give major props to Leibovitz and the folks at Vogue for this feature. This kind of work, though par for the course with Leibovitz, is rare in magazines today. It's completely gimmick-free, with no nudity, no crazy outfits, no exotic location, and though the stars are posing as characters rather than as themselves, there's still an incredible quality to the captured emotions, which is at once very real and possessing of that storybook quality you see in 18th century European paintings.
If this is all right up your alley, you've got to check out the full editorial, not to mention Anne Hathaway's cover interview. You'll fall completely in love, if you weren't already, which you were, so start reading. (Vogue)

+1 for Tocqueville
First of all, a huge thanks to fellow CHers for convincing me to give this place a shot. The tl;dr version is that we had one of most phenomenal lunches here - fantastic food and impeccable service.
I did my research prior to our visit and had a pretty good idea on what I wanted us to try. From the $29 3-course prix fixe, which is, by the way, great value, we would pick whatever soup (sunchoke today) and the meat entree (pan roasted hake). Then we would order the two staples of Tocqueville - the sea urchin angel hair carbonara and the seared scallops and foie gras. It might be worth mentioning that white truffle tasting is now available - shaved over tagliatelle, potato gnocchi, and something else that I cannot recall. $80/$120 depending on size.
Before we finished ordering (we added the truffled Parmesan grit appetizer), our server Miguel brought over three types of bread: white sourdough, rosemary and olive foccacia, and brioche. The sourdough was fairly nondescript, except for a pleasantly crunchy crust, but both the foccacia and the brioche were winners. Warm, buttery, and flavorful, they did not require any of the house made butter.
A single amuse arrived, but for the life of me I could not make out its description. I'll call it a goat cheese cigarette and hope that someone here can enlighten me. It was two quick bites, but delightful nonetheless.
At this point, the only other couple in the dining room were on their desserts, and would soon clear out, leaving the entire space to us. You'd think this makes for a strange experience, but we found this to be quite enjoyable - not in the least because it afforded Miguel to devote all his attention to us. I think today was the first time I was able to carry a decent conversation with our server at a fine-dining establishment (I guess I don't go out much).
Next came the soup and the grit. The soup was creamless, yet held a very full texture and was strongly flavoured. I think i could've done without the almonds, but it was a winner in the taste department. The grit was intensely aromatic with the black truffle emulsion, but it was very heavy and I wasn't a big fan of the, well, grittiness of it (silly, I know). In retrospect this might have been a redundant dish.
More bread came to the table, I got another foccacia and brioche.
Then came one of the highlights for the meal - the uni carbonara. The chef was nice enough to split this into two plates for us, and made sure each received a generous helping of Californian sea urchin. I generally don't like capellini, but this was just perfectly prepared. The soy enhanced the sauce, and the lime on the uni brought out its sweet "fishiness". Miguel called this dish "untouchable"; I might be tempted to agree.
For me, though, the best had yet to come. Our entrees were brought at the same time, and I must say I was a bit sneaky in offering to start with the hake while I let my girlfriend have the first crack at the scallops and foie. Hake, as far as I know, is traditionally a cheaper fish, but has made is way onto a few high-end menus recently. I've cooked (frozen) hake before so I've come to know (and appreciate) the general mouthfeel of the fish. Tocqueville's preparation, of course, was something else. The dish was incredibly light; in fact, I thought more could've gone into the pear-based sauce. I was more impressed by how the filet managed to be parted so effortlessly and yet retained that slight "elasticity" (what would be a more correct "culinary" term for it...).
My favorite dish of the day, though, had to be the scallops/foie. Seared and plated on top of a bed of chanterelles, this bad boy was bursting with flavor. The scallops tasted fresh, meaty, and without that unpleasant aftertaste that I sometimes come across. The foie was heavenly, and melded so well with the acidity of the sauce. I confess that I wished, for a fleeting instant, that my SO would've proclaimed herself too full to enjoy her half (it was not to be).
While waiting for dessert (bittersweet chocolate Bon Bon - best dessert I've had in recent memory), chatted with Miguel some more and found out that restaurant was named after an author called Alexis de Tocqueville, whose book, On Democracy in America, he brought to our table. I almost ripped the book in half and politely refrained from touching it after that.
Before we left (stuffed, and the complimentary sorbets did not help), Miguel took us upstairs to have a look at that new private dining area. An extra nice touch. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better time on this Saturday afternoon. I only wish I had found Tocqueville earlier.
"I only wish I had found Tocqueville earlier."
Our sentiment exactly when we visited here for the first time a handful of years ago. Glad you had a wonderful meal here and by our favorite server Miguel as well.
While service at Tocqueville can be a bit of hit and miss, from stiff to bit too casually sloppy (though usually forgivable as some are noticeably undergoing training and trying very hard), in-demand and popular Miguel's service is that of first rate we've seen anywhere. We are not always successful, but his relaxed and friendly yet impeccable professional service make us request him everytime we dine here, and he always stops by to say hello even if he is engaged elsewhere. Certainly the food is why we return here on regular basis, but he plays a big role in making the visits celebratory ones.
Lovely write-up. I've also found the restaurant a delight, an "under-the-radar" kind of place that serves very well-prepared food in an inviting space. Fortunately, I've not experienced hit-or-miss service.
re: kyph0515
Great photos! Definitely need to return to Tocquevilke for the egg dish and the foie gras and scallops.
re: ellenost
Same here, haven't been there in two years. Time to visit again
re: foodwhisperer
Going there in an hour, can't wait to eat the sea urchin carbonara again..
re: alepenazzi
That was one of my favorite dishes from my September dinner.
We're going for Christmas Eve dinner before church and very much looking forward to it. Thanks for the great review kyph0515!
I had a full dinner there last night, it was a 5 star experience for sure. The food was all on, all as good as the reviewers above say. I will add that the sommelier (the woman, I think there may be two) was right on the mark. She assessed my wine knowledge (decent) and spoke at the right level, got our tastes, suggested things all in the $75 to $105 range without me pointing to it as the right area and hit the mark 110% with her suggestion (a white Priorat... I had been wavering between two white Rhones)
I also add... if you're younger, reserve 8:30 or 9:00.. the earlier seating is definitely the blue haired, dignified, very proper set... a drop later a stylish younger crowd comes in (not so young, this place ain't cheap.. but a pair of kids sat next to use celebrating their engagement that afternoon)
re: dyrewolf
I actually like the earlier times because the dinners take so long.

Let me take a deep breath before I end up getting ticked off.
My Automag, since the day it arrived, has shot out every single detent I've installed. No matter how far I screw it in, it gets shot out. No matter how many o-rings I put over the detent to give it adequate spacing, it always gets shot out. It's getting old. Really old. Especially when detents run about $10 each.
I'm coming up on my eighth detent...
