(unless Baum ends up coming out of that chicken )
he got eaten by a chicken a while ago
dont look willy
NO ONE SAY A WORD ABOUT HIM, including you Baum
Baum ~ Arzoroc... or however you spell it...
He changed his name, but he will always be Baumii boy <3 ~<3
Yup, good old Baum (wich means tree in German btw) got eaten by a chicken ...
And that chicken was called "Ar Zor'Roc" which is an old-German rune for "Lord of the Zor'Roc", a tribe that (as far as history tells us) was told to have invincible warriors that did not lose a single man during the big war with the Anglo-Saxons in 317 AD.
And so "Ar Zor'Roc", the Lord of the Zor'Roc, the chicken that ate a whole tree, took over the place of Baum and was called "Ar Zoroc" later, which became "Arzoroc" in the end.
I love stories...

Hi all,
I just found the forums yesterday. Looks like a great site.
I just bought the Millermatic 180 and thought I had my shop ready to go with the right power requirements. Not so. I have a 220 line ran on a double 20amp breaker thats about 10-12 feet from the box. Its run with NM 12/2 wire with the wrong type outlet.
For fear of burning it up or just not being able to support the draw of the welder.
My question is this. Should I re-run a heavier wire with a larger breaker? Something like a #8 wire with a 30amp or even a 50amp breaker with a #6 wire? Ill also need to install the right outlet for the welder (the name alludes me at the moment).
Spec Requirements:
1-Phase, 230V, 21.7Amp, 60Hz
Thanks in advance for the help/guidance.

New Guy - Q. about Power Req.
Your breakers are matched pretty good to you welder. The wire size is fine just change the outlet to the one you need.

Agreed. The National Electric Code agrees also.
That welder will work just fine and safely on #12 wires, esp. at that short distance. You should even replace the breaker with a 30A and leave the #12 wires, if this receptacle is dedicated for welder use only.
Just replace the receptacle with a NEMA 6-50R.

WOW, such quick responses.
Thats fantastic news. I was wondering about leaving the wire in place . . .
I've read a lot about hooking a dedicated outlet up for this welder and found that most if not all ratings are based on Amps. /draw.
I just wanted to double check safety and all, ya know.
Thanks a mill, guys.

The curriculum delves deeply into a wide range of the many and varied branches of mathematics. Your courses will focus on developing deductive reasoning and persuasive writing abilities, as well as analytical and quantitative, problem-solving skills. You will explore both the abstract, theoretical aspects of math and applications to a variety of topics. Math students routinely attend conferences to present the results of work they completed with guidance and supervision by a faculty member.
Osvaldo Adames '15 knew he would major in math. He wanted a small college, where professors would know his name, and he fell for the Hamilton College campus. Now, if he wanted to prove he made the right choice he could point to his functional analysis class. All of its 17 or so students had had Professor Robert Kantrowitz before. The class was really hard and really fun. "The thing is, not only did we know each other really well, but everybody was interested in what we were talking about," Adames says.More >>
His math studies led him to a discovery – his writing ability. He never considered himself much of a writer, until Kantrowitz pointed out his skill based on the proofs he wrote. Adames didn't quite believe it until he took a seriously writing intensive course and did very well. "It built my confidence," he says.
Another discovery – Chinese. Adames, who speaks English and Spanish, wanted to study a third language but never considered Chinese until he heard students talking about how hard it was. He wanted hard, so he took a course and found the language to be beautiful. He minors in Chinese and is spending a summer studying in Beijing.
As a math major at Hamilton College, Mark Kasdorf '06 studied theorems and wrote proofs aplenty. He doesn't crunch the hard numbers anymore, but he solves problems daily as CEO and founder of the iOS application development consulting firm Intrepid Pursuits. He was named Emerging Executive of the Year by the Mass Technology Leadership Council. In 2011, he launched Hamilton's first business pitch competition to introduce entrepreneurship to students.More >>
As for his learning curve, Kasdorff went straight from Hamilton into law school and about halfway through, he started his first company, Burning Hollow Technologies. The company ran out of money in 2010 and to generate enough cash flow to pay two software developers Kasdorf had hired, he started Intrepid Pursuits.
He majored in math because he loved math.
"I don't live and breathe what I majored in," Kasdorf says. "However, there's no doubt in my mind that my Hamilton education was integral in preparing me to do all of the types of things I do today…Hamilton prepared me in so much as it taught me to think."
Hamilton graduates who majored in mathematics are pursuing careers in a variety of fields, including:

In among the turmoil of the last few days Andrew Baron of Rocketboom sent me various tweets in regard the relaunch of Rocketboom. What's more – there's a new presenter. We chewed over it and frankly I'm glad it's back!! I would of course have reported this last week, but unfortunately the way of the world intervened. Over the years some truly outstanding people have worked with and for Andrew, as the evolution of Rocketboom has gone on, the show and its progress is forever changing. This time the selective process for a presenter changed, not a budding presenter, not simply a geek gurl and no, no Vlogger… This time an actress, a quirky and spirited lady with various tv shows already behind her and no doubt a big enough future ahead. As such, I'm personally calling it Rocketboom Gold – and the new lady is?
Keghan Hurst
Previous presenters of RocketBoom and former Know Your Meme were:
Amanda Congdon
Joanne Colan
Caitlin Hill
Elspeth Rountree for Rocketboom, Tech Crunch and Know Your Meme
And various correspondents including Ella Morton and Annie Tsai.
As with all new starts, the presenter may need a little time to settle in and get her stride, and this time I think they may be onto yet another winning team… I do hope they travel a little more, go to more places to interview people like they used to do. But all-in-all, I'm glad it's back, it's like an old friend.

The National Institutes of Health owes the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission almost $1 million, and more than $491,000 of that balance is overdue, according to officials at the water and sewer utility.
NIH owed the water and sewer utility more than $1.46 million before it made a $508,216.17 payment Nov. 21, according to WSSC officials.
No other federal agency has an account as large, said I.J. Hudson, a spokesman for the WSSC, which serves 1.8 million customers in Montgomery and Prince George's counties.
WSSC expects another payment from NIH this week, Hudson said.
NIH's delinquent debt accounts for much of the more than $670,000 in delinquent governmental accounts owed to the WSSC in November, according to the utility.
But federal agencies aren't the only water and sewer users who are months late in paying the utility.
Delinquent accounts owed to the WSSC totaled more than $8.4 million last month, according to the utility's November delinquency report.
In April 2011, nearly one in 11 WSSC customers were late paying their bills, and the overdue total exceeded $12 million.
In an emailed response, Bradley Moss, a spokesman for NIH's Office of Research Facilities, said that the institutes believe two bills, in June and August 2012, were processed late. The first bill was paid and the second was endorsed for payment Nov. 27 and should be remitted by the Department of Treasury to WSSC in the next few days, Moss said.
With that considered, Moss said, NIH believes it has a zero balance.
When NIH payments are late, the institutes pay a penalty fee based upon Department of Treasury rates, according to Moss.
NIH is studying means by which the payments can be processed in a more automated fashion, Moss said.

En español l Doctors are warning that some of the common medical tests routinely taken by Americans do more harm than good, waste billions of health care dollars annually and could endanger your health or even your life.
Subscribe to the AARP Health Newsletter
Among the tests targeted by prestigious panels of doctors as overused were annual Pap smears, regular PSA tests, regular EKGs and even routine yearly physicals. Overuse of such tests leads to dangerous side effects, pain, radiation exposure, unnecessary surgery — even death, the doctors said.
The American Board of Internal Medicine Foundation asked more than 50 medical societies — of family doctors, oncologists, cardiologists and other specialties — to identify tests and treatments that are often unnecessary. AARP is a consumer partner with this campaign, called Choosing Wisely.
John Santa, medical director at Consumer Reports, another Choosing Wisely partner, says these screening tests often yield false-positive results that lead to a spiral of unneeded invasive procedures, medications and even surgeries. If you have symptoms or certain risk factors, these tests can be valuable — even lifesaving — but they're performed on far too many people.
1. Nuclear stress tests, and other imaging tests, after heart procedures
Many people who have had a heart bypass, stent or other heart procedure feel they've had a brush with death. So patients — and doctors — understandably want to be reassured through a nuclear stress test or other tests that their hearts are beating strong. But performing these tests every year or even every two years in patients without symptoms rarely results in any change in treatment, says William Zoghbi, immediate past president of the American College of Cardiology. "More testing is not necessarily better," he says.
In fact, it can lead to unnecessary invasive procedures and excess radiation exposure without helping the patient improve. Instead, patients and doctors should focus on what does make a difference in keeping the heart healthy: managing weight, quitting smoking, controlling blood pressure and increasing exercise.
2. Yearly electrocardiogram or exercise stress test
A survey of nearly 1,200 people ages 40 to 60 who have never had heart disease or any symptoms found that 39 percent had an EKG over the previous five years, and 12 percent said they had an exercise stress test. The problem: Someone at low risk for heart disease could be 10 times more likely to get a false-positive result than to find a true problem, says John Santa of Consumer Reports, which conducted the 2010 survey. This could lead to unnecessary heart catheterization and stents. Instead, have your blood pressure and cholesterolchecked. And if you're at risk for diabetes, have your blood glucose level checked as well.
3. PSA to screen for prostate cancer
Cancer is always scary, but the PSA test often finds slow-growing cancers that won't kill men. "The evidence is extremely convincing that in a man with usual risk and no symptoms, the PSA test causes more harm than benefit," says Reid Blackwelder, president of the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP). As a result of the test, he says, men often have ultrasounds, repeat lab tests and even biopsies for a problem that isn't there — an estimated 75 percent of tests that show high PSA levels turn out to be false alarms. When men do have treatments such as surgery or radiation, 20 to 40 percent end up with impotence, incontinence or both.
Not all doctors agree with AAFP's recommendation against routine PSA screening, but many agree that the test is overused. Even the American Urological Association, which supports the use of PSA testing, says that it should be considered mainly for men ages 55 to 69. The American Society of Clinical Oncology recommends against PSA testing for prostate cancer screening in men with no symptoms when they are expected to live less than 10 years. A recent study published in the journal Cancer found that Medicare spent almost $450 million a year on PSA screenings, one-third of which was for men over age 75.

Brace yourself, Newt Gingrich.
The former House speaker entered volatile territory on Tuesday at the GOP presidential debate when he voiced support for allowing long-term illegal immigrants to stay in the country -- a proposal his presidential rivals were quick to characterize as amnesty.
The accusation is potentially troublesome for Gingrich, who has been surging in the polls, and one he's already seeking to rebut by saying that it's the only "humane" option.
"The party that says it's the party of the family is going to adopt an immigration policy which destroys families who have been here a quarter century," said Gingrich, who denied his proposal amounted to amnesty. "I'm prepared to take the heat for saying, let's be humane in enforcing the law without giving them citizenship but by finding a way to create legality so that they are not separated from their families."
It didn't take long for Gingrich to start taking heat for his proposals: Both Rep. Michele Bachmann and Mitt Romney both characterized them as amnesty.
"Look, amnesty is a magnet," Romney said. "When we have had in the past programs that said people who come here illegally will get to stay illegally for the rest of their life, that will only encourage more people to come here illegally. The right course is to say we welcome people who want to come here legally."
Gingrich's remarks were the most notable part of an otherwise unremarkable debate, the 11th of the primary season, that focused on foreign policy but offered little else to change the direction of the race. It did illuminate, however, a Republican field with widely divergent views on topics ranging from the USA Patriot Act anti-terrorism law to monetary aid for Pakistan.
The split rested between candidates, such as ex-Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman, who backed defense cuts and a reduced intervention abroad, and those who endorsed a hawkish vision for America's place in the world, perhaps epitomized best by Romney.
But Gingrich's support for letting illegal immigrants stay in the country, including support for part of the federal DREAM Act that would grant citizenship to those who serve in the military, is the one moment that could ripple across the primary. Immigration is a highly sensitive issue among conservatives –- Texas Gov. Rick Perry's defense earlier the campaign of giving in-state tuition to illegal immigrants helped sink his formerly high-flying effort. Gingrich's defense of his proposal as the "humane" option also echoes Perry's suggestion that those who opposed the tuition plan "didn't have a heart," a comment that alienated many conservatives.
The candidates currently in the ever-evolving second tier, now behind Romney and Gingrich, gave mixed performances. Herman Cain, still trying to recover from a lack of agility on U.S. policy toward Libya evident in a recent videotaped interview, delivered vague and non-specific answers to questions about a no-fly zone over Syria and whether to sustain President George W. Bush's assistance to Africa.
Clearly trying to distinguish himself and resurrect his southbound poll numbers, Perry said he wanted to privatize the Transportation Security Administration, called for Defense Secretary Leon Panetta to resign, and stood alone with his plan to impose a no-fly zone over Syria. And Paul, consistently running second behind Romney in New Hampshire and significant factor in Iowa, continues to solidify his circumscribed but fervent following, offering a firmly isolationist, libertarian philosophy on national security and foreign policy.
Strengthening Patriot Act, Reining In TSA
The debate began with a spirited discussion of the Patriot Act and the role of the Transportation Security Administration.
After a slow-motion start –- no candidate answered a question until 8:14 p.m. –- Gingrich fielded the first query, which came from former Attorney General Edwin Meese, about whether the Patriot Act merited a long-term extension. The former House speaker called the law "a key part" of efforts to fight terrorism and said he "would look at strengthening it." Gingrich outlined a scenario depicting a nuclear weapon in an American city.
(PICTURES: Scenes from the Debate Floor)
Contrasting anti-terror and anti-crime policies, Gingrich said, "National security, the government should have many more tools to save our lives." The threat, he said, is unlikely to dissipate soon. "All of us will be in danger for the rest of our lives," Gingrich said.
When Paul called the law "unpatriotic" and pointed to the "vicious" terrorism perpetrated by Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh, Gingrich countered that McVeigh's ability to kill 168 people in the 1994 attacks argued for a stronger Patriot Act.
Bachmann pivoted the question to an attack on President Obama, whom she accused of handing the interrogation process to the American Civil Liberties Union. After Huntsman argued for a balance between civil liberties and national security, mindful of the American "brand" in protecting personal rights, Romney got behind Gingrich's push for strengthening the Patriot Act, and was echoed by Perry.
The Texas governor said, if necessary, the government should "update it with new technologies as they come along" and criticized the Obama administration for not expending more on anti-terror intelligence gathering.
Cain, before stumbling over CNN moderator Wolf Blitzer's name -– initially calling him "Blitz" before apologizing –- said he was open to altering the Patriot Act, but that the overarching principle behind the policy should center on a more absolutist approach: "We should use every means possible to kill them first or identify them first."
Romney and Perry took shots at the TSA, a volatile issue among the general public, suggesting the process could be improved. But both men dodged whether pat-downs at airport security lines are necessary for national security.
(ARCHIVES: Full Coverage of the NJ/CBS Foreign Policy Debate)
"We can do a lot better than the TSA system," Romney said. "It will get better over time. We can use better technology and identify people who are lower risk and allow them to go through the process more quickly than the current process."
Perry said would privatize the administration and rid it of labor unions.
"This is working in Denver; they have a program where they're privatizing it," he said. "And the airlines and other private sector groups work together to do the security in our airports."
The TSA drew widespread fire for an aggressive set of new security techniques earlier this year, which drew fire from civil libertarians and members of both parties. It's a difficult question for presidential candidates, who don't want to side with an unpopular agency but don't want to be seen as soft of national security.
Quarreling on Pakistan
The candidates got into a lively series of exchanges over Pakistan. Bachmann called Perry's proposal to withdraw all foreign aid to Pakistan "highly naïve," saying the funds are critical to helping prevent the country's nuclear weapons from falling into wrong hands.
(FACT CHECK: How Serious is the Threat to Pakistan's Nuclear Program?)
"These weapons could find their way out of Pakistan into New York City or into Washington, and a nuclear weapon could be set off in this city," said Bachmann. "That's how serious this is. We have to maintain an American presence."
Perry articulated that he didn't want to withdraw completely from that part of the world, but didn't want to reward enemies.
"I think it is important for us to send the message to those across the world that if you are not going to be an ally of the United States, do not expect a dime of our citizens' money to be coming into your country," he said.
Romney tried to split the answer down the middle, saying the money could be better directed within the country. But the country can't simply withdraw from that region of the world, he added.
"Pakistan is the sixth-largest country in the world," said Romney. "We can't just say goodbye to all of what's going on in that part of the world."
His answer drew a rebuke from Huntsman, who said the country has already spent a significant amount of resources on the areas –- particularly from Afghanistan.

Recommendations for a Three-Day Trip in June
I'll be visiting New York for three days in June--three dinners and two lunches--and was hoping to get some help in reifying my dining agenda. Last summer I ate at Per Se, Le Bernardin, Corton, Daniel and Eleven Madison Park. And while I might return to one of those, I would really like to branch out and try a new set of places. The menus at wd~50, The Modern and Jean-Georges caught my eye on first glance, but I'm wondering, for the latter two, would I be missing out if I went for lunch instead of dinner? What would be some other places to consider?
Thanks in advance for your help!
re: whitneybee
Good to know--thanks, whitneybee.
re: degustingdiary
I usually only get a Sat. Lunch/Sat. Dinner/Sun. Brunch each time I visit NYC, and generally try to parlay a big, quasi-upscale Saturday lunch into, like, a 2nd dinner. I've had a great time at Tocqueville ($68 5 course tasting, I think, available), an impressive yet mixed time at Bouley ($55 for a relative bargain prix-fixe), and a briefer-but-still-solid $29 steal from Seasonal Weinbar, all on Saturday lunches within the past few months, and would recommend any of them.
re: BrettLove
Thanks for the suggestions, BrettLove. I had never even heard of Tocqueville until you mentioned it, but they do, indeed, have a five-course tasting menu at lunch. It seems the embarras de choix has begun!
The service and experience at The Modern are the same, lunch or dinner, the only question is whether there are dishes on the dinner menu that you "must have" as there are some dishes only served during the evening.
I had a sub-par experience at J-G, but similarly the service/experience are the same, save for "dinner specific" items.
I'm working on my wd~50 review currently - it should be on the 'must' list, because while not as 'good' as Alinea, it is just completely 'different.' If you don't get the dessert tasting, you are missing out. I'd put Malcolm Livingston II on a very small pedestal for pastry chefs in the US right now.
Since you've already done many of the 'big names,' I contest that Per Se, Corton, EMP, and The Modern are the best restaurants in New York (that I've been to, and in that order - I cannot comment on Brooklyn Fare or Masa) but if you wanted to do something new I'd recommend checking out:
Roberta's - E-mail NOW, see if you can get in for the tasting.
Bouley - The lunch is an absolute steal.
Lincoln - Best Italian in the city, imo.
Ai Fiori - Did not like it as much as Lincoln, but close.
Manzo (or Babbo) - Apparently both doing lunch now.
Momofuku Ssam - Lunch if you like duck, dinner otherwise.
Minetta Tavern - If you just want some damned good food at midnight.
The Dutch - lunch, or brunch, or just for dessert at midnight.
re: uhockey
Thanks for sharing your insights, uhockey. It was the dinner tasting menu at The Modern that I found spellbinding, and based on the company in which you put it, I'm definitely going there.
I read mixed reviews of Bouley: your meal seemed really good, whereas ulterior epicure described two lousy experiences.
And yes, I was planning on doing the dessert tasting at wd~50; I hold some of Jordan Kahn's sweet creations in high esteem, so I'm curious to see how Livingston's compare. Looking forward to your review!
re: degustingdiary
I'd put Malcolm and Jordan on the same level. Shawn Gawle at Corton would also qualify. Jiho Kim at L'Espalier, Adrian Vasquez at Providence, and Kamel Guechida at Robuchon to round out the list.
re: uhockey
Lincoln is better than Ai Fiori? Then it must be fantastic! Do they emphasize a particular regional cuisine? Unusual name for an Italian restaurant; it sounds like it should serve good old American fare.
re: Pan
It's at Lincoln Center and the chef is Jonathan Benno (ex-Per Se).
re: kathryn
Thanks, Kathryn. It looks like brunch or lunch would be the thing to do - 2 dishes for $32 plus extra for dessert and wine if I so choose. Dinner is punishingly expensive. Which dishes do you find the most outstanding that are on the lunch/brunch/dessert menus?
re: Pan
No way to tell - the menu changes (literally) daily. They stamp the menus with dates. That said, the gnocchi is always there (with different toppings) and I've heard his treatment of duck and chicken are outstanding.
As he is just as controlling in the kitchen now as he reportedly was at Per Se (I could see him from my seat all night) I'd recommend ordering whatever sounds best to you and trusting that the ingredients and execution will be up to the standard of one of the city's 5 best chefs.
re: uhockey
Thanks, uhockey. I'll probably get lunch reservations there for the next celebration.
Hi all,
Thanks for all of your help and recommendations! I still have one more day in New York but wanted to share a short write-up of a disappointing dinner I had tonight at wd~50 (the rest of the photos are on my blog):
It's not everyday that one hears a server and a bartender joking about bedding a mother and daughter two-top (and the ensuing therapy they would need) in a Michelin-starred establishment. Indeed, I have a fairly large sample from which to draw, and I can't say I've ever been within earshot of such a sordid confab in a restaurant.
Even if I were to overlook that cassoulet of claudication, I still wouldn't have much praise to shower on wd~50. Yes, the dense soufflé-like scrambled egg ravioli was as delicious as I hoped it would be, but that plate also included wholly superfluous slices of kanpachi, as if someone placed them there when Chef Dufresne wasn't looking. The one course for which I couldn't find fault was the slightly tart but also thoroughly refreshing aerated yuzu ice cream. The same could not be said of the "Amaro Yolk, Chicken Confit, Peas 'N' Carrots": while a clever use of trompe l'oeil with carrot orbs made to look like peas, it was marred by a gummy cured duck yolk and an unpleasantly mealy chicken confit.
Initially, I was miffed when seated at the bar--despite making a reservation thirty days in advance--unable to occupy a table as a solo diner.* It didn't take long, however, for me to be thankful, as I was able to order four courses that piqued my interest and leave within forty-five minutes, having incurred minimal financial damage, and with no intention of ever returning.
* A compact two-top, I noticed, remained vacant throughout my brief meal.
re: degustingdiary
"Cassoulet of claudication" - three cheers!
Hi all,
Below is my short write-up from lunch at Jean-Georges (the rest of the photos are on my blog):
Four courses. And four separate exercises in deceptive complexity, perhaps none more so than the terrine of foie gras and seared scallops. The puck of cholesterol is veiled by a litany of crisp viands: pumpkin seeds, granola and almost undetectable flecks of fleur de sel. Then there's the salty-sweet amalgam undergirding three molluskan coins; the sauce on first glance may seem to be plated heavy-handedly, but trust me, you'll want to sop up every last drop. And I succumbed to the herd of independent minds--blush--and ordered the molten chocolate cake and couldn't have been happier because it was delicious, tout court.
Almost as enjoyable as the food were my dining companion's reactions: the sealed lips ceding to a gaping smile, the inquisitive stare yielding to eye-widening disbelief. It was his first time in a three-star Michelin restaurant and gave me a glimpse into what my expressions must have been like at Per Se last July.
With Shahin, our omnibeaming captain, handling our table, there weren't any toe-stubbing moments during lunch proper. I will say, however, that I was a bit put off by the discrepancy between the $98 six-course lunch tasting menu the reservationist described thirty days before our meal and the actual $130 price tag that doesn't even include Egg Caviar,* but it's not enough to prevent me from re-visiting Jean-Georges' flagship nor from recommending it to those looking to experience a three-star Michelin restaurant at an affordable price.
*Carrying a $30 supplement, it's one of five items that carry a surcharge.
Hi all,
Below is my paean to Eleven Madison Park (with the entire set of photos on my blog):
"Eleven Madison Park Sodomizes Its Roasted Ducks with Lavender Shrubs: Help Stop the Abuse."
So would read the newsletter headline if PETA opted to take its crackpot antics--protesting outside of restaurants (Melisse), sabotaging restaurants (Son of a Gun) and threatening chefs (Laurent Manrique, Bryan Pease etc.)--to New York. As is often the case, though, they would be wrong: EMP treats that fowl with the utmost care and prepares it faultlessly.
During my two lunches and over six hours in the high-ceiling palazzo, Executive sous chef Bryce Shuman --charm incarnate--kept his hand on the pleasure spigot and increased the intensity with each succeeding hour. Meals started with canapés that progressed in a cascade of tastes and temperatures: chilled Greek yogurt lollipops studded with fried lentils, room temperature rounds of toasted brioche topped with a sunny side up quail egg and the most deliciously torrid corn soup it has ever been my pleasure to eat.
And then there are the final introductory treats; these are to dramatic what David Hasselhoff is to dipsomania: its very essence. On one visit, the restaurant offered its interpretation of a modern New England clam bake, replete with the aforementioned corn soup, a palate-cleansing bowl of cool viands and a small nugget of zucchini bread that is without tension. On another, Bryce approached the table carrying a cloudy glass enclosure and with an impish grin requested, "No peeking." The visually stunning tribute to New York fare included, inter alia, smoked sturgeon, a magnanimous tin of caviar and crème fraîche and house-made pickles.
When you finally get to the actual tasting menu over one-hour into the meal, you're bowled over by the beauty of the kitchen's offerings. Indeed, the kitchen at Eleven Madison Park seems to be working in HD, painting each porcelain plate with resplendent hues, while other restaurants on my trip seem to have only just discovered VHS.*
There's tender lobster with elegantly undulating charred leeks, all of which rests on a glistening squid ink-laced shellfish bisque so flavorful you'll have no choice but to make copious use of a whole wheat roll, the texture of which is tantamount to the most ethereal croissant. A morel composition with al dente peas, gelatinous tripe and fried quinoa that encourages you to conduct a series of experiments with your fork. And a chocolate and lavender dessert with the faintest dusting of orange zest. And before you leave, your pockets are lined with a collection of confections--granola, a house-made Twix bar, cookies--which have the effect of extending the meal's thrills for days.
In two lunches only once did a dish venture slightly out of equilibrium when a hamachi crudo was dwarfed by bracingly bitter sorrel and shaved horseradish. This very likely could have been a case of the kitchen revealing that they are, indeed, human.
Gary Vaynerchuk has been wont to say that the internet is dominating and only just hit puberty. Well, Eleven Madison Park, under Chef Daniel Humm and General Manager Will Guidara, has experienced an even quicker maturation, dominating while still in toddlerhood. After enjoying the extended tasting at Per Se and the tasting menu at Eleven Madison Park back-to-back, I asked my dining companion, if you could only return to one restaurant which would it be? "It'd be a coin flip," he said. If it came to that, I surely hope the folks at EMP tamper with the coin!
* To be fair, I think Per Se deserves the same compliment.

The RWA Conference in Atlanta was extremely successful according to those attending (and I totally agree). From veterans to newbies, there was something for everyone. I love watching the first timers when they come face to face with authors they've been reading and enjoying for years. It's something like shock, admiration, and that ultimate, "I can't believe this is happening" moment. One new author was sitting next to a New York Times bestselling author and chatting with her for quite a while before she realized who she was talking to. Once the lightbulb came on, she was horrified that she didn't recognize her immediately and then embarrassed, but ultimately the NYT author put her at ease and they all had a good laugh over it. Really, how it anyone expected to know what every author looks like? Thank goodness for name badges.
Many special interest groups of RWA get together during the conference and the Beau Monde group sent me a write up of their event. According to Kristen Koster, "This past Wednesday, the Beau Monde chapter of the Romance Writers of America gathered for their annual mini conference in Atlanta. Eileen Dreyer opened the day with an entertaining speech. Morning workshops included such topics as A Hero's Military History: Beyond Trafalgar and Waterloo, The Grand Tour, Doctor's & Quacks in the Regency, and a panel on Historical Accuracy.
Katherine Ashe gave an inspiration lunchtime keynote before attendees enjoyed more workshops on The Regency Underworld and a tour through the thieves rookeries of London, a presentation on a young ladies repertoire in music, the Cultural Melting pot of Georgian England and a hands on workshop to learn how to play whist.
It was a full day indeed with high tea served in the afternoon, but that evening the ladies gathered for a soiree that included period dress, traditional English dances."
- Anne Barton, Valerie Bowman, Erin Knightly, Ashlyn Macnamara, and Sara Ramsey
Joysann reported on a well attended workshop. Living the Dream: How to Survive Your First Book Deal. These authors debuted in the last year or so, and they discovered how much more to authoring there is than writing a book. They made note of several things, and gave advice about others. One observation: That second book you're writing now that the first is on its way? Plan on it taking several months longer to complete than the first did, what with edits on the first, working publicity on social media, blogs, and book signings, and the many things you didn't have to contend with while writing the first. Sounds like a fair warning.
- Even the elevators became part of the conference
I know I'm letting you know about things out of order, but there will be more coming throughout this week. I definitely wanted to get in the names (and faces) of the Rita and Golden Heart winners today because they were shining stars at the RWA.
Bottom Line: Congratulations to all the nominees, you are all worthy.

Press Release2010-06-02
IBS introduces the first in a wave of strategic product announcements for Scalable Distribution.
Stockholm, Sweden, June 2, 2010 – International Business Systems (STO: IBS B), the leading application supplier for wholesale and distribution, announced today a new package of business intelligence (BI) software offerings, named IBS Distribution Intelligence, designed for the specific demands and needs of wholesale and distribution. The launch of IBS Distribution Intelligence is the first in a wave of strategic product announcements planned for the company during 2010, focused on Scalable Distribution.
IBS Distribution Intelligence, which is part of the IBS Enterprise Distribution Management application suite, is a set of integrated planning, real-time monitoring and performance improvement management-tools. Together they provide all the necessary capabilities to run, improve and plan for better distribution processes. Packaged as a scalable suite of products, IBS Distribution Intelligence provides a complete BI solution for distribution, no matter how small or large. Specifically the new packaged offerings consist of three key sets of products:
1) For "Planning"IBS Planners – a set of graphical planning tools for sophisticated modelling, forecasting and planning at all levels of demand, supply, and sales and operations planning (S&OP). The tools are based on advanced statistical modelling algorithms as well as direct customer demand forecasts and marketing and sales forecasts insight, and include some of the most advanced planning methodologies of today.
2) For "Operational Management"IBS Activity Monitor - a solution that provides fast, accurate and real-time visibility of operations and processes from the warehouse through to the boardroom. IBS Activity Monitor helps users have a 'direct window' into the very workings of a company's operations, allowing the information to be extracted and combined with online information for viewing on-screen, on paper or integrated with other PC applications, such as spreadsheets, email or HTML. IBS Alert Manager – allows triggers and alerts to be defined within IBS Enterprise such that when a particular event occurs (for example a stock item reached a predefined limit) as set of particular notifications (e.g. email or SMS text message) and actions can be carried out automatically
3) For "Reporting & Analysis"IBS Performance Manager – collects and organises data from IBS Enterprise and other sources, to allow users to 'slice-and-dice' information, run reports and analyse historical information. IBS Performance Manager comes with over two hundred pre-defined reports, and key performance indicators (KPIs) based on industry-standard metrics such as the SCOR-model.
"This launch of our new Distribution Intelligence offerings is the first of several such important announcements in the coming few months," says Andy Bailey, Chief Marketing Officer at IBS."As the leader in Distribution Resource Management software we know what makes distribution tick, and having the right information at the right time and at the fingertips of the right people is the key."
Although each implementation of IBS Distribution Intelligence can be fine-tuned to any specific requirements, its focus on 'encapsulated expertise' pre-configured reports and pre-built data models, means it can be up and running within a few days. Designing and developing such systems from scratch can take many months and sometimes years to build.
Each of the three product areas of IBS Distribution Intelligence provides a powerful standalone solution, but together they offer the up-to-date, accurate information needed to make those critical business decisions that maximise the five key distribution value drivers:
• Maximised revenues • Reduced expenses • Improved margins • Optimised inventory • Controlled cash
"Better decisions means better planning and better planning means lower operational costs and improved customer service levels," continued Bailey. "Likewise faster notification when things go wrong, which they inevitably do from time to time, means you can deal with it before it becomes a crisis. That again translates into happier customers, streamlined business processes and ultimately increased profitability. Our main objective is to make this a reality for customers."

I Was Born, But... (Otona no miru ehon - Umarete wa mita keredo)
One of the last great Japanese silent films and one of director Yasujiro Ozu's first masterpieces, this gentle family comedy contrasts the complexities of adulthood with a child's innocence. Two young brothers, who are the unquestioned alpha-males of fellow classmates in their suburban Tokyo neighborhood, are outraged by their father's clownish and subservient behavior at his office. As the film progresses, the children come to accept that their father is not a great man, as they imagined, and in the process, they lose some of their innocence. Ozu reworked this film for his 1959 opus Ohayo.~ Jonathan Crow, All Movie Guide

We need to sign a FA WR or a FA CB. I say we pick up a CB in free agency and leave WR to the draft. We cant get the value we need at both positions without picking up one in FA. What we do will determine what we draft, but personally I think we can get a better value at CB in free agency than WR, the we can draft a WR in the 1st / 2nd and 3rd/ 4th.

Zelda, the wild wife of author F. Scott Fitzgerald, was an "embodiment of the Jazz Age," writes Gigi Anders. Though it's been 65 years since Zelda Fitzgerald's death March 10, 1948, this "delusional debutante" always seems to remain young and vital in the popular imagination. Her enduring appeal gets new life later this year in the upcoming big-screen adaptation of The Great Gatsby — featuring the Zelda-inspired character Daisy Buchanan. Originally published April 2010 on Obit-Mag.com.
"To be young and beautiful for a long time," Zelda Fitzgerald once said. "That's what I want."
And that's what she got. The Montgomery, Ala., native died March 10, 1948, in a fire at a North Carolina mental hospital when she was relatively young — 48 — if not perfectly beautiful. She outlived her famous husband, F. Scott Fitzgerald, by eight years. An alcoholic, he was only 44 when he died in Hollywood, broke, broken down, convinced he was a failure. But that's another story.
You know about Zelda. Famous for being infamous, famous for whom she married. More captivating and fizzy than classically beautiful or professionally accomplished. The feminine embodiment of the Jazz Age here and a member of the Lost Generation abroad. The idealized golden girl who became Jay Gatsby's Daisy Buchanan in virtually every novel and story Scott wrote and in his life — just out of reach, reckless, romantic, entitled, carnal, willful, fragile, impossible. A delusional debutante nurturing illusions about her talents while spending most of the last two decades of her short life labeled as schizophrenic, draining her husband's attenuating resources as he struggled to pay her private hospital bills and to stop drinking.
This is the season of Zelda. On stage, on screen, on catwalks.
"Zelda's singular," says Maureen Mueller, the actress-singer playing her in This Side of Paradise, a new off-Broadway musical about the Fitzgeralds, beginning April 14 at the Theatre at St. Clements in New York City. "She got the spotlight on her and had nothing to deliver, like so many young girls today who get arrested for being drunk and crashing up their cars. I think she probably would've been famous anyway, without Scott, just for being outrageous."
The show and its music are based on jazz singer Nancy Harrow's 2003 CD Winter Dreams: The Life and Passions of F. Scott Fitzgerald.
"Their story is relevant to today," Harrow says, "when people are celebrity-conscious and want to be celebrities. And the tragedy about being part of an It Couple is that the only way to go is down."
The childlike Fitzgeralds did have protracted and sad dying falls. But when they were young and life was gay (in the old-fashioned sense), they were something to see. They projected the dazzling if transitory power of creativity, beauty, money and youth. Never settling anyplace for long, they restlessly invented their personas moment by transcendent moment in New York City, Paris, the French Riviera, Baltimore and Great Neck, Long Island, where they threw wild parties and where Scott's 1925 masterpiece, The Great Gatsby, is fictionally based. Look at the glamorous Fitzgeralds in vintage black-and-white photographs. You can't stop staring. Nor can you imagine one without the other, even in the afterlife — they're buried side by side in Rockville, Md.

"You could say they were doomed or that they lived really well for a short time," says a source close to The Beautiful and the Damned, a feature film about the Fitzgeralds now in pre-production, starring Keira Knightley as Zelda. "They were tragic but that's the pay-off for the bright periods, the balancing part of it. You see it in Hollywood all the time."
Indeed, the fearless Zelda loved nothing more than shocking people: She wore flesh-colored bathing suits to simulate nudity, tilted steering wheels toward cliffs' edges while speeding down narrow roads, did cartwheels in hotel lobbies. In her Roaring '20s prime, women copied her bobbed hair, bee-stung lips, and clothes. That Zelda style was recently reiterated in February at New York Fashion Week on the runways of Ralph Lauren, Anna Sui and Isaac Mizrahi, where models wore lustrous crushed panne velvet and elaborately beaded flapper dresses.
"As an influential fashion icon, nobody's remotely comparable to what Zelda was then," says the movie source. "Not since Jackie Kennedy. I've got costume designers fighting over that job."
Zelda was more than a clotheshorse, though. She had the soul of an artiste — she wrote magazine and newspaper articles, short stories, and a novel, Save Me the Waltz; she danced ballet; she painted — but she was not gifted, disciplined or lucky. There was a strain of mental instability in her family, too — an older brother committed suicide — and she was always prone to being a little out-there.
In 1918, at a Montgomery country club dance, when the flirtatious and exhibitionistic youngest of six children born to Alabama Supreme Court Justice Anthony Dickinson Sayre, and his wife, Minerva, met the dreamy and charming 22-year-old Lt. F. Scott Fitzgerald, it knocked them both over the edge in poetic and disastrous ways. The St. Paul, Minn.-born Scott was a Princeton dropout who'd joined the Army during World War I. Stationed at nearby Camp Sheridan, he was gorgeous and brilliant, obsessed with youth, love and class. He wanted Zelda and to become a legendary American author.
"Zelda could work a room," says Rachel Moulton, the sunny actress-singer playing the young Zelda in the musical. "They locked eyes and there was this instant connection. Scott was a Yankee, he was different than the men she was used to. And she had a je ne sais quoi, a joie de vivre."
In Dear Scott, Dearest Zelda: The Love Letters of F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald (St. Martins, 2002), it's clear that both Zelda and Scott longed to leave the South and the Midwest, their respective provinces, and become part of the main social stream of America in the East.
"She talks about how she didn't want a drab existence because he would love her less," says the book's co-editor Cathy W. Barks. "'Don't worry about what you can't give me, you've given me your heart and that's all that matters.' He had no money. His first book [1920's This Side of Paradise] was being published, and it did make him rich and famous, but how many times does that happen?"
Didn't matter; the way they blew through money, there was never enough. Married in St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City in 1920, they had their only child, a daughter named Scottie, in 1921. And, thanks to the overnight success of Paradise, they became the 20th century's most luminous literary couple, bona fide celebrities.

"They were both extremely public figures," says Fitzgerald scholar and Dear Scott co-editor Jackson R. Bryer. "It was something they sought, but it also put a strain on their relationship. What attracted Scott to Zelda — she was racy and popular and represented something he aspired to — are the things that made their marriage difficult. I'm not sure he knew what he wanted her to be and do. He was supportive of her [artistic endeavors], but he wanted her to be his wife. It's not an unusual ambivalence."
The troubled marriage mirrored the nation's troubles: the post-war excitement of the boom followed by the Crash of '29 and the bust of the Depression, when Zelda had the first in a series of mental breakdowns, Scott's drinking worsened, and money woes became constant. Between our current recession and the success of TV shows like Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew, the Fitzgeralds seem positively au courant. As for the "singular" Zelda, she'll always be young and beautiful — in print. Go read any of Scott's books. You'll find her there, shimmering, elusive and immortal.

SoCon Women's Golf Championships Start Friday
Wednesday, April 21, 2004SPARTANBURG, S.C. (April 20, 2004) -- The 2004 Southern Conference Women's Golf Championships will take place this Friday, April 23 through Sunday, April 25. The three-round, 54-hole event is scheduled to take place at the par 71, 6091-yard Starmount Forest Country Club with UNC Greensboro serving as the host institution. Defending champion Western Carolina looks to make it two in row as the Catamounts hope to repeat their success from last season's SoCon tournament. Leading the charge for WCU will be sophomore Brandy Andersen, last season's individual medalist, and senior Becca Twiner, who was victorious at the Lady Herd/El Diablo Intercollegiate in March. Western Carolina's stiffest competition may come from traditional SoCon powerhouse Furman. The Lady Paladins claimed each of the first nine SoCon Women's Golf Championships from 1994 through 2002 before Western Carolina dethroned them last season. Furman's top-rated individuals in 2004 are senior Sarah Johnston, who is ranked 34th in the latest Golfweek ratings and leads the SoCon with a 74.3 stroke average, and freshman Jenny Suh, who places at 48th on the same list. As a team, the Lady Paladins are ranked 24th in the country. Host UNC Greensboro looks to make a move this weekend as well, led by junior Polly Willett. The London, England native earned her first collegiate victory earlier this season at the Peggy Kirk Bell Invitational. Other top finishers from the 2003 event who will be returning this season include the College of Charleston's Sapna Patel, last season's fourth place finisher, and sophmore Kayla Bowsher of The Citadel, who finished in 11th place in 2003. SoCon newcomer Elon is rated fourth in the SoCon this season and will be led by junior Alison Mangini, last week's SoCon Co-Golfer of the Week. East Tennessee State will hope to find success behind the leadership of sophomore Ashely Barton (Seffner, Fla.) (79.1 stroke average), while Wofford's Laura Robinson (80.7) and Appalachian State's Jennifer Monko (82.6) look to push their teams towards the top of the leaderboard. Built in 1921, Starmount Forest was the original site of the Greater Greensboro Open, and PGA tour legends Sam Snead, Ben Hogan, and Byron Nelson all posted wins at the course. Golfers will tee off at 8:15 a.m. in the first round on Friday, and you can visit www.SoConSports.com for complete standings and results, updated throughout the tournament.

text: Dolphin Stories Tuesday, August 20, 2013 Building Connections in Dominica 2:21 PM :: 2521 Views In May 2013, 20 Le Moyne students and three faculty members traveled to the island nation of Dominica – the eighth such trip the College has sponsored since 2002 – as they work to build a community connection with one of the poorest countries in the Caribbean. LEARN MORE ABOUT THE JESUIT TRADITION Through the various projects students and faculty have undertaken – including working with the elderly, handicapped children and elementary school students – the multiple trips have been the means by which the College has developed strong ongoing relationships with many persons and groups on the small island (it's roughly four times the size of the District of Columbia), including the Catholic bishop in the city of Roseau, who has received the group each year. "They're grateful for us being there and all that we do working collaboratively with them," said Don Maldari, S.J., who has run all eight trips. "And our student's eyes are opened to the unjust disparity of wealth between first- and third-world countries. They return home saying they've been transformed – eager and better equipped to make the world a better place. I tell the students that in 10 days we're not going to solve the problems of the world, but we're definitely making a difference … they feel connected to us and we certainly feel connected to them." Father Maldari said that even though many groups travel to Caribbean islands on service trips, not many go to Dominica, partially because it is so small and also somewhat difficult to travel there. This year, for the first time, two distinct Le Moyne groups went on the trip – the Leadership, Education, Action and Decision (LEAD) Learning Community, and also students active in the College's Theater Arts program, who spent much of their time working with Dominican children involved with theater. Along with the sense of adventure inherent in such a trip, Father Maldari said that students are living the Jesuit tenet of service to others. "Their time in Dominica makes students aware of the needs of other parts of the world. At the end of the Spiritual Exercises, St. Ignatius writes that 'Love ought to manifest itself more by deeds than by words' and that 'Love consists of mutual communication between two persons.' " For more than a decade through their firsthand experiences in Dominica, more than 100 Le Moyne students, faculty and staff have brought those words to life in the real world.
