The Day in the Cloud Challenge
on June 24th, 2009Print This Post
By Alain Gayot
Take any flight on Virgin America and compute in the cloud with your notebook or mobile phone. Today was D-day for the young airline to offer a WiFi environment for any passenger on every flight in the U.S., the first airline to stake that claim. Sir Richard Branson appeared via an animated video to introduce the program via Gogo technology, along with the flight's friendly crew. What was special about our 6:00 am flight VA 921 from Los Angeles to San Francisco is that it competed with flight 920 from San Francisco to Los Angeles in The Day in the Cloud Challenge – an online puzzle played in the air and on the ground. Our winning plane earned each participating passenger a nifty and slim HP netbook. The game continued for 24 hours as well, and enabled all top five scorers of each flight to earn A Year in the Cloud package comprised of free flights, free in-flight WiFi from Virgin America, a netbook computer from Hewlett-Packard and one terabyte of online storage from Google. Happy gamers went to work early and connected to Google apps in the clouds to secure information to solve the puzzle.

Don't We All Love Hot Bread?
on June 24th, 2009Print This Post
By Sophie Gayot
When I went to Suzanne Goin and Caroline Styne's (Lucques, A.O.C) new restaurant Tavern in Brentwood last week, I had to stop myself from filling up on the bread.
It was so good, but I had to save room for the actual meal. At the end of the dinner, I asked where it had come from. Easy enough: it is baked on premises daily. Every night, three bakers arrive at 8 pm and bake ten different varieties of delicious breads until 5 am. The good news is that they are available for purchase to take home.
We are currently featuring Tavern as the Los Angeles Restaurant of the Week.
The Pink Lady with Two New Babies on the Way

You don't have to be a hotel guest to serve and volley on the two tennis courts at the famed Beverly Hills Hotel, but you only have until September to play your match.
Last week, during a lunch at the hotel, general manager Alberto del Hoyo declared that the courts will soon be covered by two new guest bungalows. Each will be over 3,000 square feet, with all the luxury and tech amenities imaginable, including a fitness room. The announcementof the new accommodations, which won't come cheaply, is actually very optimistic news considering the current economy.
The hotel, also known as the Pink Lady due to its coral-pink façade, has made a few of our top hotel lists:

Famed chef Gordon Ramsay flew into the film capital of the world to celebrate the first anniversary of his fine establishment, Gordon Ramsay at The London West Hollywood. The fabulous evening was fun and filled of fanfare and food.
As a big fan of force of nature Gordon, I asked him to sign one of his books for me. In a friendly manner and in perfect français (French), he insisted to do it for "ton fils" (my son), who he has met when filming "Hell's Kitchen."
Coming Together for a Nationwide Cause

More than fifty Los Angeles chefs and restaurants combined their culinary talents last Sunday at Share Our Strength's annual Taste of the Nation, a benefit to support organizations that feed hungry children.
Guests were able to meet the chefs and taste their dishes, as well as enjoy live entertainment and a special auction. The event, held in Culver City's Media Park, was supposed to end at 4 p.m., but the ambience was so enjoyable that the crowd stayed much longer.

A Night Show with Jay Leno for a Cause
on June 15th, 2009Print This Post
By Sophie Gayot
More than three hundred guests attended Vintage Hollywood 2009, a charity event, held at a private estate in Bel-Air, California, last Saturday. Thanks to the hard work of Linda Daly and other members of the organization, many Los Angeles restaurants and wineries from across California as well as from Oregon, New Zealand and Argentina came together in a gorgeous garden. In addition, a silent auction took place.
But the highlight of the evening was the appearance of Jay Leno, who was in charge of the live auction. And trust me, it was an auction like no other. Leno's celebrated humor was behind each of his words. I just wish there would have been more items to keep the show running. A private tour of the comedian's "Garage," guided by Leno himself, went for $29,500 for four lucky bidders. More than $200,000 was raised at this year's event. Jay's generosity brought even more support than expected.

A Bistro for President Obama
on June 08th, 2009Print This Post
By Sophie Gayot
Desirous to relax a little bit and enjoy Paris after one of those tense world leaders meetings, Bill Clinton asked former French President Jacques Chirac where he could have a nice, cool, simple dinner in a Parisian bistro. Chirac, who is known for his robust appetite and his love for calf's head, can be considered among other things as a reliable source of information for restaurants. So he sent Bill to L'Ami Louis, known for being a fortress of bistro fare with generous portions. Records say Bill was happy.
Last week, when President Obama visited France and its new President Nicolas Sarkozy on the occasion of the anniversary of D-Day, after all the razzledazzle of the official receptions and functions, he was in the same mood as his predecessor. He chose to skip the proposed traditional—and probably boring—banquet at the Palais de l'Elysée and take his Saturday night off. He, too, wanted a bistro as bistroish as possible with no frills and just plain food. Who tipped him off about La Fontaine de Mars where he ended up was not disclosed. Probably not Sarkozy, who rather digs for the upper end of French gastronomy such as chef Eric Fréchon's offerings at Le Bristol close to l'Elysée or the very "people-oriented" Champs-Elysées Fouquet's.

LudoBites are Back
on June 03rd, 2009Print This Post
By Sophie Gayot
If you were wondering where Ludovic Lefebvre had gone, look no further—we have found him. After L'Orangerie and Bastide, he resurfaced with Ludo Bites at Breadbar in 2007 for three months, then disappeared from Los Angeles altogether and landed on the Las Vegas strip, until he left there last May.
Given the past success of Ludo Bites, he is again serving his cuisine with the same concept, where it originated. He rents the Breadbar space on Third Street (only open for breakfast and lunch) for dinner. You will find him there for three months, until August 22. It is like a temporary art exhibit; it moves around, and you don't always know where it will be next. If you have never tasted Ludo's cuisine, isn't he sort of an artist anyway?
This week Ludo Bites is the Los Angeles "Review of the Week."
My Dinner with Mick Fleetwood
on May 29th, 2009Print This Post
By Sophie Gayot
From rock & roll to wine? But why? And how come? This is the question I posed to Mick Fleetwood of Fleetwood Mac while dining with him at Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar at L.A. Live. Both Jonathan Todd, the drummer's manager, and longtime friend producer Michael Shapiro commented on Mick's involvement in the wine-making process. Mick, who offers a selection of seventeen American wines (red and white), is the sole decider of the wine's blend as well as the winery that will carry his label on the bottle.
Although this was great information, it wasn't exactly the answer I was looking for. I turned to Mick himself to help me put the pieces of this puzzle together. Of course, Mick has the means to produce wine, but what drove him to become so tremendously involved? I finally had him reveal, with his gorgeous voice and elegant British accent, his secret: he is a "nose" and has always had a heightened sense of smell. It allows him to create the blends that he likes—hoping that he won't be the only one to enjoy them. If a winery produces great wine one year, but not so great the next, Mick's nose knows! He just selects another winery. The drummer's next blend will be a Bordeaux. You can find Mick's wine in the sixty-nine Fleming's restaurants and at Costco with an average price of $20.

Interference Mitigation Via Joint Detection in a Fading Environment
This paper considers the detection problem for fading channels in the presence of interference when both the transmitter of interest and the interferers employ practical modulation schemes. It is shown that, for Rayleigh fading, it is possible to obtain symbol error rates that have the same dependence on the received signal-to-noise ratio as when transmission is interference-free. This is achieved using detectors that employ knowledge on the channel and on the modulation schemes of the interference.

It may sound funny, but whenever I see a wedding from a team of talents like this bunch, I get a bit nervous. Call it star struck. Because I just know I'll never be able to put words to Joy De Vivre's amazing design or proclaim my love of TEAM Hair & Makeup's work in a way I know they deserve. They are true artists. Thankfully Michael + Anna Costa's stunning images of this Red Tail Ranch wedding (as featured in Flutter Magazine) speak for themselves, and they are all waiting for you right here.
From Joy de Vivre….Ann Marie and Hunter met nine years ago while both were attending Loyola Marymount University. Hunter is originally from Laguna Beach,Ca and Ann Marie grew up in Ojai, Ca where they would later celebrate their wedding day. Hunter admired Ann Marie at a distance for months, curious about the cute brunette with oversized sunglasses. Through their mutual friend, Tara, Ann Marie began to learn more about this mysterious Hunter fellow. Nicknamed "McGiver" because he was the ultimate handyman, jack of all trades, cross country runner with a passion for the ocean. After waiting patiently for the right moment to ask Ann Marie out to dinner, he did just that. Both nervous and intimidated by the ideas of one another built up in their minds, Hunter took Ann Marie out to Sushi in Venice Beach. Not long into the date the nerves settled, intimidation turn into admiration, and they were just two young people falling in love. Ann Marie realized that beneath Hunter's serious exterior was a sensitive and intelligent man. Hunter told me that Ann Marie was his first true love, joking that he waited 21 years for that dinner date with Ann Marie. In the years that followed, through graduate school, the ups and downs of life's journey, Ann Marie and Hunter have become stronger, wiser and more patient. Most important, they love each more with each passing day.
Their first date at Wabi Sabi was nine years ago. They have been best friends ever since. They now live in their first home in Laguna Beach, Ca where Hunter works as an acquisitions manager for a commercial real estate investment and development company and Ann Marie finds joy in her work as a marriage and family therapist.
Owned by the bride's mother, this beautiful eco estate on eight acres nestled in Ojai, California, is nicknamed the Shangri-La of Southern California. With 300-degree open mountain views, this true eco-home is set against the backdrop of a 2 acre certified organic farm and CSA (community supported agriculture). Some of the wedding menu, including the organic chickens, were farm raised with love on site giving this wedding that farm-to-table feel. Sharing their 'I do's' on this family owned and loved property made this beautiful celebration even more sentimental. (Red Tail Ranch is an available venue for weddings and special events)

The Marriott Maui Ocean Club is an incredible ocean front property on Kaanapali Beach, one of the world's five best beaches.
You will be staying in a full service five star resort with weekly maid service, room service, valet or free self parking, spa, exercise facility, concierge and restaurants. Your villa is beautifully decorated and impeccably maintained by Marriott management in the tradition of a five star Marriott hotel, so everything will pe perfect when you arrive. This is a fantastic resort for adults and families with children. There are four pools, including a kids 'pirate ship' pool.
For the kids, there is beach volley ball, surfing (lessons available) pool activities, arcade games and even a poolside movie night each week. The pirate ship pool will keep toddlers and younger kids busy for hours while the main pool includes waterfall passageways, multiple levels and a water slide for pre-teens and the kid in all of us. Additionally, Kaanapali Beach is an extremely safe vacation spot.
For adults, there are plenty of places in the other two pools, away from the main pool, where you can read, chat and sunbathe away from children; get an outdoor massage or spend time renewing yourself in the spa or full exercise facility. Except at the main pool, there are always plenty of chairs on the huge ocean from lawns and shade from many palm trees.
Our two bedroom ocean view Lahaina Tower villa has two bedrooms with private baths and the central living area has a full kitchen with cook-top range-oven and all the other amenities of a full residential kitchen, including granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances. There is also a washer/dryer in the villa so you can do laundry without using the resort's public washing machines. Two Lanais offer wonderful views of both the beautifully landscaped property, the ocean and the island of Lanai. This villa sleeps 4 in king beds plus four in pull out sofa beds.
There is virtually nothing missing from this resort. It is both completely self-contained and accessible to neighboring hotels and condominiums, restaurants, beach activities and shopping. Kaanapali beach is great for sunbating and surfing and there is great snorkeling at Black Rock, a lava outcropping in front of thr Sheraton Hotel.
There are many hotels, restaurants, beach activities and shopping opportunities within walking distance. Wether you have teens or toddlers, they will have plenty of entertainment.
We are Californians who moved to east Texas about ten years ago. We are fans of time share living because we know our villa will always be ready for us and in perfect condition. We bought our first time share about 15 years ago and have had many perfect vacations with our children and friends.
John Morley purchased this villa in 2008
We have always loved Hawaii but got tired of being cooped up in one or two hotel rooms with no space to stretch out. Time shares simply offer more living space and amenities than hotels. We purchased in Kaanapali because our teens loved the beach and could find lots of new friends. Additionally, there is a lot for teens to do along the beach and it is a very safe location. Finally, we purchased our timeshares from Marriott because we can trust them to provide a perfect five star vacation in a resort with immaculately maintained rooms, grounds and pools.
Beautiful local scenery, over a mile of beach, gorgeous sunsets, and Hawaii has a magical smell and feel about it unique to pacific islands...and its in the USA, so no passports, language barriers or currency exchange issues.
This five star property is on Kaanapali Beach itself. The resort is a couple of miles from the town of Lahaina and can be reached by car or a free shuttle. Within easy walking distance are three five star hotels and four condominium complexes all connected by a beach front boardwalk. There is an outdoor shopping mall (Whaler's Village) and about a dozen excellent restaurants. There are enough local eateries, shops and activities that a car is only needed for sightseeing and getting to and from the airport.

Porthall (Irish: Halla an Phoirt) is a village in County Donegal, Ireland. The village is located on the west bank of the River Foyle, in The Laggan district of East Donegal, on the R265 linked to the R236 regional road. Its nearest town is Lifford the capital of Donegal.
The Battle of Binnion Hill[edit]
The Battle of Binnion Hill was fought in 1557 just a short distance from Porthall, approx. 2.5 miles (4 kilometres) North West. The battle came about when John O'Neill, the Grandson of Con O'Neill assembled an army to attack Tirconnell, modern day County Donegal. O'Neill's plan was to defeat Manus O'Donnell from the Kinel-Connell and thus be the only King in Ulster. On the O'Neills side were people from Oriel, modern day Counties Armagh, Louth and Monaghan and from Dundalk, County Louth, also part of O'Neill's army was Hugh O'Donnell (brother of Calvagh) and his followers.
The Kinel-Connell was in turmoil at this time as Calvagh O'Donnell had his father locked up for two years so that he himself could be ruler of the O'Donnells and O'Donnell lands. Calvagh, unsure of what to do in the event of an attack from the O'Neills consulted with his father who advised not to attack the O'Neills but to wait until they crossed the river and then to attack their camp at Carraig Laith (Carrickalee, Strabane, County Tyrone). Carraig Laith is close to where the two rivers meet to create the River Foyle.
O'Neill and his army left their camp in Tyrone, crossing the River Finn and marched towards Raphoe then along the Laggan to a place called Baile-aighidh-chaoin, where they set up a new camp. This is now known as Balleeghan townland, close to the banks of Lough Swilly in Raymoghy Parish. Calvagh was at a meeting on the summit of Bennin (Binnion). Others with Calvagh were his son Con and Walter McSweeney who had brought two companies of gallowglasses of the McSweeneys of Fanad. Also there was Donnell Gorm McSweeney and his followers who were the descendants of Donnell.
Two members of Calvagh's party were sent to spy on the O'Neill camp and report back to Calvagh at Binnion. On hearing the testimony of the spying mission Calvagh decide to attack John O'Neill and his forces at his camp immediately. The troops of Calvagh numbering two battalions marched on the O'Neill camp and began killing and slaughtering all before them. John O'Neill on hearing the commotion in his camp realised that he was under attack and fearing for his life slipped out of the back of his tent.
Two other people escaped with O'Neill that night, Hugh O'Donnell (son of Manus) and Donough O'Gallagher (son of Felim Finn). The three men in their retreat back into Tyrone had to cross the River Deele, River Finn and the River Derg by swimming across them and as it had been raining heavily that night the rivers were very swollen, making it even more dangerous. On reaching Tearmonn-Ui-Moain, he bought a horse and made his way to Aireagal-da-Chiarog [2] by morning.
Meanwhile, back at the battle site Calvagh and his men were in high spirits and enjoying the spoils of war. In the morning when the booty was being divided up Con (son of Calvagh) got as his portion eighty horses, the prize of all the horses was Shane O'Neill's (son of John) own horse called 'The Son of the Eagle'.[3] It is said that the spoils from the battle were the most from any battle between the O'Neills and O'Donnells.[4]
Historical buildings[edit]
Port Hall, after which the village is named, is located on the west bank of the River Foyle. Built in the mid 18th century in the Georgian style, it was once owned by Anthony Marreco. Mr Marreco was Junior Counsel at the Nuremberg Trials at the end of World War II. He later became a founding director of Amnesty International. Port Hall is now a stud farm situated on the northern end of the village.
Long Vale House (previously known as Clonfade) built in 1611 is one of the oldest houses in Donegal. It was built by a Thomas Keyes who served under Sir Richard Hansard and when Hansard was appointed Governor of Lifford, Thomas Keyes received from him a plot of land on which to build a house. This land was Clonfade. Thomas Keyes was High Sheriff of Londonderry City in 1623 and owner of the estate of Clonfade, after which the house is named. It is now known as The Hall Green.[5] The house is located on the outskirts of the village on the R265 road to Lifford.
Mongevlin Castle (also known as Mongavlin Castle)[6] is a ruined castle which lies on the west bank of the River Foyle, approx 4 km north of Porthall.
In the sixteenth century Mongevlin was the chief residence of Ineen Dubh, she was the daughter of MacDonnell, Lord of the Isles and mother of Red Hugh O'Donnell. The State Paper recording her possession of the castle: "From Cul-Mac-Tryan runs a bogg three myles in length to the side of Lough Foyle in the midst of the bog is a standing loughe called Bunaber here at Bunaber dwells O'Donnell's mother (Ineen Dubh M'Donnell). Three miles above Cargan stands a fort called McGevyvelin (Mongivlin) upon the river of Lough Foyle O'Donnell's mother's chief house". The castle was recorded by Captain Nicholas Pynnar in his Survey of the Escheated Counties of Ulster in 1619 where he wrote that Sir John Stewart had built a very strong castle at 'Magerlin' with a flanker at each corner. There had been a flag stone over the archway with the inscription 'J.S.-E.S.T.-1619' which went missing in the early eighteenth century. Though the account that the castle had been completed in 1619 is contradicted by a later Survey (in 1622) of the Escheated Counties of Ulster that reads; Sir John Stuart, assignee of the Duke of Lennox 'has built a castle of lime and stone on the banks of the River Foyle 50' x 25' x 3½ stories, slated, with 4 flankers at the top thereof. And an iron door portcullis wise; the principal timber and joists of the floor being oak are laid but not boarded or the partitions made, the iron grates for the windows being within the castle ready to be set up'.[7] There is a wonderful pencil drawing showing the castle at that time available here.
King James visited here on his way to the siege of Derry in 1689. From here he sent a letter proposing surrender, it was rejected.
The castle later became the property of The Hon. Elizabeth Hamilton whose eldest son, James, Earl of Abercorn, and Viscount Strabane erected a plaque in her memory in 1704.
The castle is now in ruins with only a small proportion of it left standing.
Porthall Railway Station[edit]
Porthall railway station opened on 1 May 1848 and was part of the Great Northern Railway of Ireland system which ran from Belfast Great Victoria Street to Foyle Road railway station in Derry City via Portadown, Dungannon, Omagh, Victoria Bridge, Strabane, Porthall and St. Johnston. Goods trains stopped running via the station on 4 January 1965 with the line and station finally closing on 15 February 1965.[8]
The nearest station is located in Derry in the Waterside at Londonderry railway station with trains provided by Northern Ireland Railways. Trains to and from Londonderry railway station run via the coast to Coleraine and Ballymena and Antrim en route to Belfast Great Victoria Street station.
The population of Porthall at the 2011 census of Ireland was 253, and of this 130 were Males and 123 were Females.[9]
- Scoil Bhríde, Boyagh National School.
The school was first called Porthall National School and was opened in 1836 by way of a free lease granted in 1825 by a local landlord called Mr. Dougherty from Redcastle and the local Land agent Mr. Clarke. The first teacher at the school was a Patrick Conway who earned £4, 0s, ½p per year. Trustees of the school were Mr. C.B. Hamilton and Mr. John McColgan. In 1886 the school was renamed Boyagh National School. The school was taken over by the Irish Department of Education in 1934. Today Scoil Bhríde consists of two multi-grade classrooms. In 2011 the school attendance was thirty-five pupils. Various subjects taught in the school include Irish, English, Maths and Drama. The school is a mainstream primary school under the patronage of the Catholic Bishop of Derry.[10]
Notable people[edit]
- Gerry Crawford, Fianna Fáil Councillor sitting on Donegal County Council for the Stranorlar Electoral Area. Councillor Crawford was elected Donegal County Mayor and Chairman of Donegal County Council for 2008.
- Anthony Marreco, Founding director of Amnesty International and Junior Counsel at the Nuremberg Trials at the end of World War II.
- Liam Doherty - Athlete. Irish 400m Hurdles record holder in a time of 53.70.[11] Record set 28 June 1980 in an international meet against Denmark & Scotland in Copenhagen.[12]

THE NINE LIVES OF CHLOE KING "Beautiful Day" Season 1 Episode 10 – "Beautiful Day" was the summer finale of THE NINE LIVES OF CHLOE KING and I have to say that the writers and ABC Family have outdone themselves!
We start with Chloe, Alek, Amy, Paul, Jasmine, and Xavier having a great time at a state fair or something, where Amy is all excited that Chloe and Alek are actually "on a date". Chloe starts to deny it, blah blah blah (everyone knows you're lying, Chloe), and we learn that Xavier may have more planned for Jasmine than just smooches.
Turns out he's part of the plot to kill everyone protecting Chloe, and the easiest way to do this? Well. get close to the uniter and her friends, which turns out to be a plan where he is VERY successful. When Valentina returns to find Jasmine canoodling (okay, they were working out, but Valentina does seem to care) with Xavier, she's less than pleased. In true form, she is VERY clear that she is HIGHLY disappointed in Jasmine for not watching Chloe 24/7. Read More...

Kisses and Disses : Wipes + The World Cup
He's what I call a Marketer's Dream. He's the kind of person NYC marketers sit in their corner boardrooms and dream about. He's the kind of guy that likes to be sold to. And he also happens to be my husband. JD loves anything and everything that's packaged, jingled, and cha-chinged. And it's the most annoying thing. Ever. I mean, when waitresses see him, they know his kind. They offer the pureed strawberry lemonade, the signature appetizers, and chived sour cream for only $2.00 more. And he always says yes. Oh, because it's SIGNATURE.
I've grown accustomed to this behavior. Kinda. Yesterday I walked in from the gym and Polo did his happy wiggle. I got on the floor and kissed him, like always. I called him Stinker…then JD asked me if Polo was really stinky. Because he has something for that. For stinkyness, I ask. JD then offers the following:
Wipes. WIPES?!? Now, that's just too much. Some bald, bellied man in NYC is laughing in his boardroom when he realizes JD actually BOUGHT THE WIPES. Because, really? Who buys wipes for their dog?! Oh, my little Marketer's Dream.
This leads me to another installment of Kisses and Disses…
This week's DISSES go to:
*Bald, bellied marketers in NYC who sell dog wipes.
*Husbands who buy said wipes.
*Receiving newsletters I never subscribed to. It drives me irrationally crazy.
This week's KISSES go to:
*The World Cup. Because, really, how can those players look so rawr after 90 minutes of running, sweating, and pretend-fouling?
*This American Life podcast. I'm obsessed with Ira Glass. I listen to him while I work and we're a pretend couple. In my mind. Which is so normal.
*Martha Stewart wall paint. My bathroom is now Persimmon thanks to Martha's line at Home Depot. Oh, what? You think persimmon sounds fancy? IT SO IS.
Happy Tuesday!

June 29th, 2010 at 5:42 pm
You and JD crack me up! You two are perfect for eachother!! Kisses & Disses are the best.
June 29th, 2010 at 5:44 pm
Haha!! Jasmine, I've just recently started following your blog, and even though I'm not a photographer myself, I still think you are hilarious and awesome!! Thanks sharing all your great stories and especially great photos!!
June 29th, 2010 at 5:44 pm
I just wanted to say…I LOVE the way you write! Can I come for lessons 🙂
June 29th, 2010 at 5:44 pm
We're dog sitting at the moment and my super clean floors can't handle it after taking the dog out. So I was thinking of buying dog wipes, sigh.
Yay for the world cup!
Hope you feel better soon, all is better when Jasmine is well.
June 29th, 2010 at 5:47 pm
Persimmon is fancy…you can have your signature too…just like JD has his fancy dog wipes that were created by the bald, bellied man you speak of.
June 29th, 2010 at 5:48 pm
🙂 Luvs!
June 29th, 2010 at 5:49 pm
I'm afraid that Ira and I are already in love. I dream that we're a couple and he tells me bedtime stories in his" This American Life" way as I fall asleep at night 🙂
June 29th, 2010 at 5:50 pm
Oh I think I just fell off my chair laughing about JD buying the wipes. Hilarious. SUCKER!!!!
June 29th, 2010 at 5:50 pm
Oooohhh Martha Stewart has her own paint??? Well OF COURSE she does…. LOVE the "sharkey gray". Paint color names are always the deciding factor for me. 🙂 And those wipes are awesome, use them on my dog all the time.
June 29th, 2010 at 5:51 pm
I am so with you on Ira Glass! I pretend to edit photos while listening to him; I usually just end up sitting in front of my computer listening. Radio lab is pretty good too, but you may already know that.
June 29th, 2010 at 5:51 pm
I am with you on disliking scammy marketers. Though the wipes are a good idea for a dog without any undercoat (like Italian Greyhounds, Mastiffs) who only need a chamois cloth wipedown for their grooming… I just don't know why people don't use something non-disposable and save the waste.
June 29th, 2010 at 5:54 pm
Hey! I bought wipes for my dog.. Now, they weren't dog wipes. They were baby wipes. He's a Maltese and supposed to be white… The wipes attempt to keep him that color if he happens to get dirty outside. Don't worry, JD. I have your back. 😉
June 29th, 2010 at 6:00 pm
had to LOL when i read about the wipes. we have a lhasa apso and a shih tzu and my husband bought the exact. same. wipes. i'm not sure if it's good or bad to know there are two of them out there.
June 29th, 2010 at 6:04 pm
I love it! Can't believe JD bought dog wipes for Polo! 😉
June 29th, 2010 at 6:06 pm
Love This American Life! I'll have to subscribe to the podcast!
June 29th, 2010 at 6:09 pm
Yipee for the World Cup…and pretend-fouling…hysterical!
June 29th, 2010 at 6:12 pm
So true Jasmine! Wipes are awful – who buys those things anyway – its a fake doggy wash! And I heart Ira Glass and your blogs….my bf and I aspire to be wedding photogs like you one day!
June 29th, 2010 at 6:48 pm
Reggie has the wipes too!! Give them a chance- its so much easier than a bath! I'm with JD on this one 🙂
June 29th, 2010 at 6:49 pm
Hahaha I have 2 little stinkers at home and both will remain wipe-free! *Le sigh* I heart futbol players…
June 29th, 2010 at 6:53 pm
I've got Martha Stewart's butter cream yellow downstairs from way back when, and it's just dreamy!
June 29th, 2010 at 7:07 pm
Pretend fouling….hahahah.
You should have Dissed those annoying noise makers though! Really so tired of it sounding like a swarm of bees in my house!
June 29th, 2010 at 7:10 pm
Ha! My husband got those for our dogs AND his mom's cat.
June 29th, 2010 at 7:11 pm
HILARIIOUS on the wipes…and JD buying them! Maybe they figured it's less work than washing them all the time?!?! No…ok. I hear you on getting things you didn't subscribe too…annoying! Have a good day.
June 29th, 2010 at 7:19 pm
My husband is the opposite. My "kiss" goes to Pottery Barn paint.
June 29th, 2010 at 7:27 pm
My boyfriend is THE SAME!! Will buy anything. Can be sold on anything. Drives me bonkers. Me: They're going to try to sell you that, don't buy it, you don't need it.
Him: Of course not. Don't be ridiculous, I am not going to buy that.
Me (later): How did it go?
Him: I bought it.
June 29th, 2010 at 7:41 pm
Yeah for the World Cup. Netherlands got through to the quarter final. I am watching Spain vs Portugal right now. Indeed Rawr and that is just after 10 minutes of play!!
June 29th, 2010 at 7:42 pm
Sounds like me. Although not sure even I would fall for stinky dog wipes! Awesome post.
June 29th, 2010 at 8:25 pm
1. Loving your "rawr" comment about soccer players — SOOO True! 2. I too, am obsessed w/This American Life and Ira Glass! … 3. You are just awesome!
June 29th, 2010 at 8:27 pm
Thanks for the laugh! And I agree, who doesn't enjoy watching Villa, Higuain and Ronaldo all sweaty on the field =)
June 29th, 2010 at 8:43 pm
My husband is exactly the same way. A marketers dream. I can't tell you how many ridiculous things we have because of him : ) Oh well. I am sure if I email him this post, he would come home tonight with some cat wipes. Kid you not.
June 29th, 2010 at 9:01 pm
You crack me up!
June 29th, 2010 at 9:11 pm
How amazing is This American Life. Check out the dvd's from showtime.
June 29th, 2010 at 9:35 pm
I LOVE This American Life. I listened to a couple of shows yesterday on my plane ride back to Dallas from San Francisco. I also feel smarter after listening. Last year my cousin and I ran into Ira Glass in the street near NYU. I didn't really know who he was back then, but now I'm very familiar! We will be frequenting Home Depot this weekend, we're painting too!
June 29th, 2010 at 9:35 pm
the world cup has definitely been eye catching hahah but total diss to the refs who were making ridiculous calls!! boo!!
June 29th, 2010 at 9:50 pm
You are too funny. I cannot beleive they have dog wipes, but I know lots of people who woud buy them in a heart beat – my mother-in-law for one 🙂
June 29th, 2010 at 9:59 pm
My husband bought the dog wipes too! He says our wiener dog is "sweaty". Hahaha 🙂
June 29th, 2010 at 10:24 pm
Wondering what the "8 in 1" could be!!? 1) cleans, 2) deodorizes, 3) feeds the dog, 4) toilet trains him, 5) makes your bed in the morning, 6) is your second shooter at weddings, 7) cooks dinner, 8) answers the phone?….
June 29th, 2010 at 10:29 pm
I am so guilty of ALL of the above, my apologies….
June 29th, 2010 at 10:33 pm
The question is do the wipes work? If so then you have to cut JD a bit of slack lol
June 29th, 2010 at 11:13 pm
hahahaha, jd is awesome! gotta love it!
June 29th, 2010 at 11:58 pm
Pretend fouling! LOL!!! Yea, they have serious RAWR factor goin' on. Love you, J*! I think I've turned all my coworkers into J* fans, too. woot woot
June 30th, 2010 at 12:28 am
ummm we have dog wipes, too! joe bought them and diligently wipes pesto and basil after walks or dog park jaunts. joe is definitely in charge of keeping our mutts clean and odor free. my guess is that someday he'll be the one changing the diapers and doing the baby butt wiping, too!
June 30th, 2010 at 1:36 am
I'm with JD on this one. Dog wipes?! Sweet! We have been using baby wipes to clean our dog in-between baths.
June 30th, 2010 at 4:08 am
heu… the world cup, seriously…!!! as a french (yeh I said it again), I would say this is a bad bad world cup… what a shame for France. We are known to do strike all the tim, and this is true, but soccer players who are paid millions to play and rpresent the nation are going on strike 2 days before playing the world cup !!!!!???? what a shame for french people, especially when we won the 98 world cup we should act better (and play better too) … so for me this world cup is a diss… big time !
June 30th, 2010 at 4:09 am
But the wipes WORK! Well, they're awesome for cats who hate baths. A dog might need more than a wipe…
June 30th, 2010 at 4:41 am
EXCUSE me Jasmine, but your husband is very smart to buy the wipes!
June 30th, 2010 at 5:10 am
Hahaha JD is awesome! I am totally one of those people too. I often feel compelled to go out and go GET stuff after seeing it on a commercial. (baaaad).
June 30th, 2010 at 1:41 pm
I come back because I was so angry with this world cup that I forgot to speak about those wipes… I do not use wipes on my babies to be green, so on dogs … I think this is first of all hilarious that somebody thought of doing those, but sad that some people would buy them !
June 30th, 2010 at 4:23 pm
I totally agree about the World Cup.
June 30th, 2010 at 4:45 pm
Oh, that is too funny! Vitaliy is the same way. He brought home a mop once and spent 30 minutes basically replaying the entire sales pinch to me of why he bought it. Too funny!
June 30th, 2010 at 5:21 pm
Those wipes , are hilarious! I can't even imagine that you'd really want to cover your dog in the "fresh scent". I feel a headache coming on. 🙂
June 30th, 2010 at 6:00 pm
My sister bought wipes for her cats. She was DESPERATE to curb the cat stink in her home… which made her an easy target for the bald guy in NYC!!! 🙂
June 30th, 2010 at 7:16 pm
Oh JD, if you must must must, buy baby wipes. They are good for all sorts of things. Where as there isn't as much appeal with wiping your hands off with dog wipes, is there? Baby wipes make more sense too, then Polo would get to smell like a baby. Who doesn't love that? Live and learn, JD.
June 30th, 2010 at 7:27 pm
Actually the wipes are really useful for pets that just got spayed/neutered/surgery because they can't have baths, but they might be stinky!
June 30th, 2010 at 8:31 pm
haha i totally agree with the world cup kiss… lol *sigh*
martha stewart paint is sooo pretty!
June 30th, 2010 at 10:10 pm
I'm not gonna lie… I'm pretty sure there is a pack of those around our house. No joke… Sigh. lol. (It rained for two weeks straight this spring and they were used to wipe off muddy paws…)
June 30th, 2010 at 11:39 pm
Too funny. I have to admit to you that we buy the wipes for our dogs too. We wipe them when they come in from outside because I refuse to have them track in dirt and get it on our furniture or bed. I know it is kinda OCD right? haha.
July 1st, 2010 at 4:08 pm
ohhh wall paint!!! We have alot of that coming our way:) Maybe we'll check out martha for our new little cape cod!!:)
July 2nd, 2010 at 11:46 pm
Hahaha, the wipes are hilarious!
September 3rd, 2010 at 10:34 pm
Ha! I had no idea that dog wipes existed…
October 4th, 2015 at 7:23 pm
lol. Apparently there is a market for everything these days.

Ben Schrank, who made his debut in 1999 with Miracle Man, has a penchant for exploring the peaks and valleys of the human psyche. This, his sophomore novel, uses the mystical legend of the Golem -- a clay statue given life to defend persecuted Jews in 16th-century Prague -- as the solder for an interpersonal, dysfunctional matrix forged of lust, brutality, longing, and betrayal.
For the narrator, divorced doctoral student Mike Zabusky, the Golem is both friend and fiend, and the thrust of his doctoral thesis, which he's writing under the auspices of his domineering, controlling adviser, Matthew Weingarden. What Mike doesn't realize is that neither he nor his love interest, Katherine Staresina, can escape Weingarden's prickly clutches even in the midst of their most torrid sexual throes. However, once the hapless student's father commits suicide, and the course of his affair with Katherine -- who is wild, frustrating, and scarred by her sister's murder some years ago -- spins to the outer limits of chaos, Mike must ascertain who, or what, is in control of his life.
Through intense character interplay and bright, uncluttered prose, Schrank captures all the competitiveness, claustrophobia, and codependence that sometimes prevail between student and mentor, lover and lover. Unmitigated male urges that are easily ridiculed -- everything from ardent impromptu copulation to indiscriminate destruction -- are endowed by the author with a kind of ignoble dignity and a regal wretchedness. While downright callous and sadistic creatures are seemingly given free rein here, sympathetic humanity, however controlled and confused, achieves a countervailing power: the will to succeed. Ultimately, Consent is a story of hope. (Will Romano)

On any given weekend, you can find the likes of Parks Bonifay and Adam Errington grabbing wakeboard sessions on the warm, sun-bathed lakes of central Florida, the place they call home.
But as you can see in the video above, recently, the boys joined wakeboarders Cutun Martin and Tomas Karagozian, and travelled quite far from home. Packing their boards and boots, they headed to Argentina to ride the lakes in the 'Los Glacieres Parque Nacional'.
While the boys had to ditch the board shorts for drysuits, it was all worth it as they got to hit some of the coolest natural 'features' the world has to offer. Want more? Check out the photo gallery by clicking the link above.

Legendary cartoonist Jules Feiffer appears in conversation with author Neil Gaiman at the 92nd Street Y on Thursday, May 14, 2015 at 7:00 pm!
Press Release:
Everyone knows a Feiffer illustration when they see one: His characters leap across the page, each line belying humor and psychological insight.
Over Jules Feiffer's prolific 70-year career, his nimble and singular imagination has given us new perspectives as well as biting satires on politics, love, marriage and religion—alternating with stories imbued with the playful anarchy of a child. Feiffer's varied output includes children's books (The Phantom Tollbooth and Bark, George), plays (Little Murders), movies (Carnal Knowledge and Popeye), comic strips (most notably in his Pulitzer Prize–winning Village Voice comic strip of 42 years) and graphic novels (The New York Times bestseller Kill My Mother).
Join him as he talks with author Neil Gaiman about his life, his work and his new book, Out of Line.
Jules Feiffer will sign copies of Out of Line after the event.

2002 Nissan Xterra Reviews
2002 Xterra Owner Reviews (2)
Great but for the front brakes
2007-10-30 12:13:00
I have had the Xterra since buying ti new in January 2002. I Love it for the most part. The 4 wheel drive is easy to engage, I ski alot and have used it for Mammoth Mountain as well as Lake Tahoe snow trips.
I still don't like the way the rear seats kind of fold down requiring that you remove the seats and put them in the way. My main complaint is that I have had to replace the breaks 3 times in 95,000 miles. They squeak with 60% left and continue to get worse until 5% which is when I replace them Two different dealers same pattern. I don't like the expense of replacing the in-cabin micro-filter either. It should be less than $75 to replace an air filter.
2007-09-04 11:30:55
my xterra is going to be hard to let go when it is time to look for a new vehicle. I have not had one single mechanical problem with this suv in the whole 5 years I have owned it. It drives and goes up hills like a ram charger and handles well and has the room i need for shopping and gardening ...and so accessible for removing all those gardening items. comfortable to drive and room for passengers including my grandsons car seat. I even picked up my overstuffed leather chair and carried it home in this truck!!!!!It has been a dream for me and I will once again look at xterra when I plan to get a new car. love it love it favorite vehicle I have ever owned.

We must look upon our teachers as our fathers: though instruction carry in it reproof and correction, bid it welcome. Solomon's parents loved him, therefore taught him. Wise and godly men, in every age of the world, and rank in society, agree that true wisdom consists in obedience, and is united to happiness. Get wisdom, take pains for it. Get the rule over thy corruptions; take more pains to get this than the wealth of this world. An interest in Christ's salvation is necessary. This
wisdom is the one thing needful. A soul without true wisdom and grace is a dead soul. How poor, contemptible, and wretched are those, who, with all their wealth and power, die without getting understanding, without Christ, without hope, and without God! Let us give heed to the sayings of Him who has the words of eternal life. Thus our path will be plain before us: by taking, and keeping fast hold of instruction, we shall avoid being straitened or stumbling. (Pr

This is a fairly small restaurant. It is modern and tastefully furnished. The staff are extremely friendly and obliging. The food is excellent. Make sure to try one of their suggestions. Will certainly go back!
Went for a business dinner and was surprised by the efficient and fast service, despite the restaurant was packed.
Very high quality and nice presentation of the dishes. It's not cheap but with a very favourable quality / price ratio.
This restaurant was recommended by a friend who lives in Antwerp. Boy was she right! We started with the tomato soup, accompanied by fresh whole grain bread and butter. The bread was so good we had more later. The mains, Seabass and carpaccio, were perfect. One glass of excellent barbara complemented the meal. Service was superb. We arrived at noon...
We had decided to go to Henrietta's based on the reviews of numerous websites, including Tripadvisor. We arrived at 6:30 and were seated at a wonderful outside table even though we did not have reservations. They promptly took our drink reservations and patiently explained the menu to us as they did not have one in English. We ordered the Shrimp...

Hungry Henrietta's is a very nice restaurant near the center of Old Antwerp. The menu is quite diverse with beef, fish , and chicken dishes. We had dinner for four with a special dish of sweet breads and mushrooms to start. Excellent. Service was spot on and we were all well pleased.
A gem of a restaurant, truly wonderful. Great atmosphere, great food. If you like a proper steak, get the filet mignon. Or try the lamb meatballs with mashed peas. Or whatever else is on the menu. You won't be disappointed. And that's a promise
It is well worth the effort to find this restaurant. However, it can get busy at lunchtime, so it is good to go early. Food and service was good as was the atmosphere. I would gladly eat here again
