Red Rooster in Harlem a cozy, diverse diner By JOCELYN NOVECK The Associated Press NEW YORK — It's a balmy March evening just before the official arrival of spring, and a few diners are already happily venturing to the small tables outside Red Rooster, chef Marcus Samuelsson's eatery on Lenox Avenue in the heart of Harlem. But outside isn't really the place to be. No, to feel the buzz that is Red Rooster, one should really be perched on a stool at the horseshoe-shaped bar inside. It's elegant, made of different hues of wood, but more importantly, it's occupied by different hues – and ages, and types – of people. On this evening, the guests are black and white, Asian, old and young, gay and straight. They may be sipping one of Red Rooster's signature cocktails – the Earl of Harlem, for example, bourbon with Earl Grey tea and coriander syrup. They may be snacking on the addictive cornbread with honey butter while they wait for a table. Or, like Naveen Pesala, a physician who's worked nearby for five years, they may be reconnecting with an old friend for a quick glass of prosecco. But they're all participating in something pretty rare in New York: a truly diverse, high-end dining experience, and one that brings people to Harlem from everywhere in the city. "I've even run into patients here," says Pesala, who's joined by a friend from SoHo for the evening. "It's a very unique place." Unique is certainly the word to describe Red Rooster, some 15 months after Samuelsson launched it. There was plenty of hype then, and no wonder: Even among celebrity chefs he was a celebrity, known for his speedy rise in the restaurant world (executive chef at the renowned Aquavit at age 24, and the youngest chef to earn three stars from the New York Times); his telegenic TV persona; his hip personal style; his unusual background (born in Ethiopia, raised in Sweden); and of course his admirers in high places. He was chosen to be the chef at President Barack Obama's first state dinner, and Red Rooster hosted a recent Obama fundraiser. With so much attention, there was bound to be some quibbling. Some purists say the food, a mix as eclectic as Samuelsson himself, isn't really soul food and should be. Others grumble about the prices (high for the area perhaps, but not for high-end restaurants elsewhere). A blurb in the Zagat guide calls the place "groundbreaking" and "uber-popular," but also notes that "Unless your name is Obama, it may be tough getting a table." More striking, though, is what people – even those who don't feel they can pay Richard Drew/AP Marcus Samuelsson, chef and owner of Red Rooster restaurant, talks to his staff in New York. $15 for a cocktail – feel it is doing for Harlem. "It's a great thing for the neighborhood, because he's such a big name," says Gloria Dawson, a graduate student at Columbia University who blogs about Harlem restaurants. "And the best thing is that this will encourage other people to take risks, and open other places in Harlem." Dawson says she's a particular fan of the fried yard bird (that's chicken) and the shrimp-and-grits dish. She's also partial to that Earl of Harlem cocktail. But mostly, she says, she loves the scene. "It's visually stunning, with all the artifacts and knickknacks and Harlem art," she says. "It's also incredibly lively." And most strikingly, she says, "You really never see this much diversity in other restaurants." That's a feeling echoed by food writer Andrew Knowlton, restaurant editor at Bon Appetit magazine. "I grew up in the South, and there was just a lot of diversity in the dining rooms – especially after church," says Knowlton. "Now I live in New York, and of course it's a super-diverse city, but when it comes to dining out, well, it's pretty sad that way. So Red Rooster has really done a wonderful thing." Knowlton feels the restaurant is a reflection of Samuelsson himself – and why not? "With his crazy background, Marcus has been grappling with who he is and where he fits in," he says. "So he decides to move to Harlem and open this restaurant. He knows the power that restaurants have over a neighborhood." But can a restaurant be both an international destination for high cuisine and a comfy neighborhood joint? That's a dynamic the 41-year-old Samuelsson has clearly considered very carefully along the way. His first step was to move to Harlem, something he did about eight years ago. He'd lived in various neighborhoods, but had always been drawn uptown. He wondered why many other New Yorkers hadn't been. "Why does someone from 89th and Columbus go to Paris more often than Harlem?" he asks, speaking to a reporter one afternoon during the lull between lunch and dinner. "That's a real challenge." But it quickly becomes clear that Samuelsson's journey to Red Rooster began well before that, when he was a young black man in Europe, adopted from Ethiopia with his sister. He had a crazy plan of being a top chef. "Being a person of color, things were very clear," Samuelsson says. "Being a chef at that level I wanted just wasn't an option. "So you have two possibilities – you quit, or you smile and do it better," Samuelsson continues. "I chose the second. And I said, 'I have to go to America.' " After his success at Aquavit, Samuelsson opened several restaurants, not all roaring successes. But Red Rooster is clearly his most ambitious project yet. "It's so hard to say that something is one-of-a-kind," says Dana Cowin, editor-in-chief of Food & Wine magazine. "But Red Rooster truly is. It's the food, it's the vibe. But it's also a cultural meeting place – for people in the arts, for people downtown, for people of New York, for people of the world. It's almost more like a 1920s cafe in Paris, in that respect." Lenox Avenue may not be the Boulevard Saint-Germain, but it was, for Samuelsson, an irresistible draw, given its rich historical associations with figures like Langston Hughes and James Baldwin. But it isn't just history that determined his restaurant's location. There's a big subway stop at Lenox and 125th, a few steps from the restaurant. The bus goes right by. The express train from Times Square takes about 10 minutes. Once he found his spot, Samuelsson filled it with tiny and telling touches – reflecting both his own journey, like an ABBA album, and the neighborhood he calls home. Colorful art from Harlem fills the walls. He takes us downstairs, where workers are finishing construction on Ginny's Supper Club (the room has just opened for business). The sleekly designed space will host different kinds of music – jazz and Latin, for example. Only this one, Samuelsson notes, "will have really good food." Music is a theme at Red Rooster upstairs, too: The Sunday gospel brunch is extremely popular, and there's a nook in front where a DJ comes to spin. Even the bathrooms are sort of a display case – filled with fraying black-andwhite photos of Harlem in years past. "So if you have a boring date, you don't need to come out of here at all," he quips, showing off the walls. But even a boring date, while unfortunate, wouldn't keep most people from the dining room, which Samuelsson often walks through, shaking hands. A middle-aged white couple stops him: They want to report on a recent trip to Ethiopia. A while later, a 91-year-old black woman comes in for coffee. Samuelsson admonishes an assistant more than once to go check on her. "People need to understand why she left her house," he says. "It's not for the coffee." Damaa Bell is a schoolteacher in the area, and also writes a blog on Harlem culture, Uptown Flavor. She herself doesn't go to the restaurant that often, but would definitely consider it as a spot to bring visitors to the city. She notes, though, that the prices might keep some Harlemites away. Indeed, the cost of a meal at Red Rooster varies a great deal. A steak frites dish costs $31, and there's a Sonoma County wine for $450. But there are bottles in the $30 range, a happy hour with cheaper drinks, and a lunch special for $20.12 with a menu typically reflective of Samuelsson's background: a spicy peanut soup, his Helga's Meatballs (inspired by his grandmother), and a devil's food cupcake. Technology executive Vikas Sood is eating just that lunch one day at the bar, part of an ambitious sweep of the city's culinary hot spots before he starts a new job. The verdict of this foodie? "It's really good," he says. "It may not be typical soul food, but it's good!"

"Seraphim about the Divine Throne," Petites Heures de Jean de Berry
Continuing our review of "The Bible and Liturgy" by Fr. Jean Danielou SJ, we now turn to Fr. Danielou's examination of the Trisagion, and in particular Fr. Danielou's demonstration of its connection with the Sursum Corda. According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, the Trisagion is:
"an invocation, or doxology, or hymn—for it may properly receive any of these titles—which in the Roman Liturgy is sung during the Improperia, or "Reproaches" at the ceremony of the Adoration of the Cross, on Good Friday. The brief hymn is then sung by two choirs alternately in Greek and Latin, as follows: First Choir: Agios o Theos (O Holy God). Second Choir: Sanctus Deus. First Choir: Agios ischyros (Holy, Strong). Second Choir: Sanctus fortis. First Choir: Agios athanatos, eleison imas (Holy, Immortal, have mercy on us). Second Choir: Sanctus immortalis, miserere nobis."
The Catholic Encyclopedia goes on to note that the Trisagion "is sometimes referred to as Tersanctus, and is thus apt to be confused with the triple Sanctus at the end of the preface at Mass." It appears to me Fr. Danielou has indeed confused the Trisagion with the triple Sanctus, and thus intends to refer to the triple Sanctus rather than the Trisagion in the following remarks.
According to Fr. Danielou, the Sursum corda and the Trisagion "express the idea that the Eucharist is a participation in the heavenly liturgy. The Trisagion, in fact, is the hymn of the Seraphim who eternally surround the Trinity: "Man is as it were transported into heaven itself," writes St. John Chrysostom. "He stands near the throne of glory. He flies with the Seraphim. He sings the most holy hymn". The same idea is found also in Cyril of Jerusalem: "We speak of the Seraphim that Isaias saw in the Holy Spirit surrounding the throne of God and saying: 'Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord, the God of hosts." This is why we recite this theology that is transmitted to us by Seraphim, so that we may take part in the hymn of praise with the hosts above the cosmos".
Such descriptions of prayer at Mass as a participation in the prayer of Seraphim at the heavenly liturgy before the throne of God are not to be dismissed as mere pious whimsy. In the Christian angelic hierarchy, Seraphim have the highest rank. According to Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite, "[t]he name seraphim clearly indicates their ceaseless and eternal revolution about Divine Principles, their heat and keenness, the exuberance of their intense, perpetual, tireless activity, and their elevative and energetic assimilation of those below, kindling them and firing them to their own heat, and wholly purifying them by a burning and all-consuming flame; and by the unhidden, unquenchable, changeless, radiant and enlightening power, dispelling and destroying the shadows of darkness."
Thomas Aquinas in his Summa Theologiae describes Seraphim as follows:
"The name 'Seraphim' does not come from charity only, but from the excess of charity, expressed by the word ardor or fire. Hence Dionysius (Coel. Hier. vii) expounds the name 'Seraphim' according to the properties of fire, containing an excess of heat. Now in fire we may consider three things.
"First, the movement which is upwards and continuous. This signifies that they are borne inflexibly towards God.
"Secondly, the active force which is 'heat,' which is not found in fire simply, but exists with a certain sharpness, as being of most penetrating action, and reaching even to the smallest things, and as it were, with superabundant fervor; whereby is signified the action of these angels, exercised powerfully upon those who are subject to them, rousing them to a like fervor, and cleansing them wholly by their heat.
Fr. Danielou notes that the Sursum corda and the Trisagion are connected by a shared sense of holy awe. He cites Theodore of Mopsuestia to "[show] the relation of the Trisagion to the spirit of fear and awe: "We use the awe-inspiring words of the invisible powers to show the greatness of the mercy which is freely lavished on us. Fear fills our conscience throughout the whole course of the liturgy, both before we cry out 'holy!' and afterwards: we look down at the ground, because of the greatness of what is being done, manifesting this same fear."

In a novel that captures the essence of Black life, Brooks recognizes the beauty and strength that lies within each of us.

As the Holy Spirit perfects us, instead of looking at trials with a carnal mind, we view them with the mind of Christ. God's divinity within us turns any trials into a momentary and light affliction (2 Corinthians 4:17).
Most people spend more time believing that God is going to give them what they want and do not have, rather than in focusing on His will for them moment by moment throughout each new day.
The more we look to the future, the more we waste the present. When we view our present trials as part of God's will for us, we find Him in the midst of them (Romans 12:2).
Jesus asks us to separate our self from the human realm of life, even while we still live in it (John 15:19). We physically live in the world, but we do not belong to any part of it (John 17:14-15).
We find this place of spiritually mindedness by realizing that our humanity is dead in Christ, and we no longer live, but Christ lives in and through us (Galatians 2:20; Colossians 3:3).
Jesus already overcame any negative aspect we could ever experience in this life, and He dwells in us with all of the power of our triune God (John 16:33).
We walk in His victory as we experience each trial as a new adventure, which God brings our way. God uses these trials to transform us out of the earthly sphere into His spiritual Kingdom (2 Corinthians 5:17).
Father God, You gave us the life we have, just as it is right now. You want us to allow You to shine through us in it, rather than for us to wait around for something we think we need. Help us to learn to be content in Your provision for our daily needs, rather than wanting something different or more (Philippians 4:11).
Remind us to focus on what is eternal rather than on that which is earthly, because reality is only found in You. You do not promise us tomorrow; so help us to give You all of our self in this moment, without holding back anything or worrying about the future in any way.
Thought for the Day:
When we love the things of this world, we do not have the love of the Father in us. - 1 John 2:15

POMONA — City Council members, other city officials and gadflies are bracing for a marathon council meeting Monday night as the council rushes to tackle several weighty issues in its last meeting before the beginning of the new fiscal year on July 1.
City Administrator A. J. Wilson, who assumed his post full time two months ago, will be seeking council approval of his proposed budget, a major capital-improvement program and a plan to reduce the city's 11% utility tax for residents.
The agenda, containing 29 items, is one of the longest in Pomona's history. Considering that council meetings with much smaller agendas have often gone past midnight, most officials expect Monday's meeting, which begins at 7:30 p.m., to run later than 3 a.m.
'Can't Recall Longer Agenda'
"I've been on the City Council for five years and I cannot recall the City Council having this many items on the agenda," Councilman Mark Nymeyer said, adding that he is opposed to an all-night meeting.

Birth of Baby C – NJ Birth Photography
I met this couple last fall when they were looking for a doula to support them during labor and birth and a birth photographer to document their journey. It was not even few minutes into our conversation when we found so many connections in our lives, from family members, friends and work environment. It just felt like it was meant to be!
Through working prenatally with them I had the opportunity to spend time with them and get to know them more and I just fell in love with this sweet, down to earth couple. I was so excited to be able to be there for them when time came.
And it just turned out that the baby decided to come when I was at the Prudential Center cheering for New Jersey Devils. I had my bag and all equipment with me so I just jumped in the car and met the couple in the hospital. The mama was laboring beautifully, already in active labor and I knew it was not going to be long before this little baby arrived. The dad was amazingly supportive as well as her midwife Lonnie Morris of The Childbirth Center in Clifton, NJ and a team of nurses. With the help of Lonnie, mama brought her baby out into the world and onto her chest and into the arms of her and her husbands. The beauty of the moment was so overwhelming, that several of us in the rooms were wiping tears from our eyes.
It was a real honor to witness, support and document this miracle!

Uli Jon Roth
- Earthquake (1979, LP)

- Very 'Eavy, Very 'Umble (1970, LP)
- Demons and Wizards (1972, CD)
- The Magician's Birthday (1972, CD)
- Return to Fantasy (1975, LP)
Those are the only two U2 albums I have on CD. I have all the others before those on LP, except I don't think I ever got Boy (their first). It was after plowing my way through Rattle and Hum that I actually thought out loud to myself: that's it boys, I'm outta here. I still think the old albums are great, but I haven't kept up with them since 1988 and I don't really care what they're doing now, because I'm sure whatever it is, it will be immaculately politically correct, overwhelmingly pompous, obnoxiously condescending and immensely popular.
I discovered Uli Jon Roth on a mall run with some co-workers at some music store in San Antonio. They were playing it over the store's sound system and I liked what I heard so I asked about it. The girl I asked said that there was only one left on the shelf and if I bought it she was going to buy their demo record before she left that night. That one was Beyond the Astral Skies. I found the other two some weeks later at a different store, probably Sundance Records. Roth was in a group called Dawn Road that merged with the Scorpions, but after a few albums he went his own way and formed his own group Electric Sun. All three of these albums have both his and the group's name on the cover, so I'm not entirely sure how all that went down but if you want all the details check his Wikipedia entry. Roth is part of that sub-genre that I would have been much more interested in if I had understood what it was all about at the time: neo-classical metal. In any case, I have always enjoyed these albums quite a lot, especially the last one.
One night in the mid-80s I was listening to an interview with Geddy Lee on the radio, and it was one of those shows where listeners could actually call in and ask the questions. Somebody asked him about his influences, not as a bass player, but as far as his synthesizer playing went. He mentioned Ultravox and their album Vienna. Well, it wasn't long before I was at Hastings looking for it, but since it was already several years old they didn't have it. They did have the more recent Lament, so I bought it. Later on I found Vienna at another store. I always meant to get more of their stuff, but I never did. I like Vienna the better of the two, but I enjoy them both. The music is electronic pop that tends toward a certain darkness of atmosphere.
My first-year college room-mate had an old scratched-up LP of The Magician's Birthday, and I listened to it a lot. Later when I was home I found Demons and Wizards at Hastings, but then had to special-order Magician to get it. Still later I stumbled across the CDs for both those albums at Sundance Records. I don't remember the particulars of buying the other two albums; they were picked up somewhere along the way. I like them all, but my favorite is still The Magician's Birthday. I used to play (and sing) "Rain" on the piano when I was in college (I didn't have the sheet music for it, I just picked it out by ear--I sort of have a minor knack for that). I have two later albums on LP that I haven't ripped (Abominog and Rockarama), but they are from later incarnations of Heep and aren't as good.
Album count: 559.

Hi guys, I've been struggling with this for some time now, but I can't figure out why it's not working. I got a gridview in which I'm selecting a specific row. This gives me a string back, which is used to load some data inside a datatable, using DAL The callback works and it's also giving the correct string to retrieve the wanted data. But when I'm trying to use this fresh data update my reportviewer (.rdlc) nothing happens. For now I'm testing the event with a simple button, but even with the button nothing happens. Does anyone know what I'm missing The DAL is working correct and I'm using .NET 3.5

Hi all
Im new to .NET and stuck now, so i hope anyone can help my with my problem.
I have a MS SQL database where i have stored some documents as Binary data. I cant figure out how to retrieve them and show/download them in my browser.
I found some guides online and have try to put something together.
private void Write()
int id = 0;
string strID = Request.QueryString["id"];
int.TryParse(strID, out id);
var db = new ModelDataContext();
var doc = db.DocumentDatas.Where(x => x.ID == id).FirstOrDefault();
byte[] byteArray = File.ReadAllBytes(doc);
How do i fill the byteArray with the data?Thanks in advance :)/Ryan
I'm in the middle of migrating servers and on the new server Response.Redirect is extremely slow. It takes around 20 seconds for the browser to get the redirect. This is something that was quick on the existing server. It's an ASP.NET 2.0 application, both servers are running IIS6.
Additionally, if I "manually" do the redirect, it's fast. For example:
Existing way:
takes around 20 seconds on the new server
New way:
Response.Status = "302 Moved Temporarily";Response.AddHeader("Location", url);Response.End();
is fast on the new server.
Any ideas why Response.Redirect would be so slow on the new server?

2. Batch Printing by making a loop and placing a checkbox on the gridview where the needed paramerter (DataKeyNames ID) is retrieved then pass to the ReportViewer
This is my Code
foreach (GridViewRow row in GridView1.Rows)
CheckBox chk = (CheckBox)row.FindControl("CheckBox2");

Martin-Logan Script's (pair) Optional Wall Mounting [Expired]
|Research Pricing
The Martin-Logan Script's were originally designed, as stated by M-L "to design and build a special rear surround speaker using our proprietary ESL technology". "We were stunned by the sound produced by the little Scripts". "Suddenly, we realized that this new creation could add high resolution electrostatic sound to any room application."
Specs (each):
Frequency Response: 70-20,000 Hz
Sensitivity: 88 db
Weight: 27 lbs
Dimensions: 43" H x 10" W x 9" D
I have used the Scripts as primary L/R speakers in my office for several years. Later, I got into surround (5 ch), still using the M-L Scripts as L/R speakers. Nice sound reminiscent of my old Quad ESL-63's. Surprisingly, the bass was pretty good driven by a Red Wine integrated amp. So I can tell you that these make a nice on-wall L/R pair in a modest sized room, perhaps an office or perhaps as L/R speakers surrounding a TV.
Obviously, they would pair nicely with a companion subwoofer though I never felt the need for that in my office area.
Alternatively, if you already have M-L L/R mains and are considering 5.1 or 7.1 these would obviously make great companion side/rear speakers. I purchased these two from someone who had been using them in a 5.1 system a few years back.
Original boxes are included as are the wall mounting brackets. I was given and will include a spare electrostatic panel that I received when I purchased them (as second owner), but I never asked about nor ever tested this additional panel. Local pickup/delivery preferred. PayPal preferred. Buyer pays shipping. Note that shipping info is for one box and total shipping for the pair will be twice the estimate.

Bama baseball falls to LSU, 2-0, in series opener
Sunday, May 11, 2014 2:57 PM EDT
Sunday, May 17, 2015 2:57 PM EDT
From the University of Alabama Athletics Department:
BATON ROUGE, La. –
In a pitcher's duel between Spencer Turnbull and Aaron Nola, the No. 19 ranked Alabama Crimson Tide came out on the short end, losing to the No. 6 ranked LSU Tigers, 2-0, in a Southeastern Conference game on Saturday afternoon from Alex Box Stadium.
"Spencer pitched one of his best games all year, he was outstanding," Alabama head coach Mitch Gaspard said. "His velocity was really good and his command was excellent. Offensively we ran into one of the toughest pitchers in the country, and he was on today. You just tip your hat when a guy pitches like that and you get ready for the next game.
Alabama (31-19, 13-12 SEC) and LSU (36-13-1, 14-10-1 SEC) will play game two of the SEC series tonight with first pitch scheduled for 7 p.m. CT from Alex Box Stadium. Alabama will start LHP Justin Kamplain (4-3, 3.59) and the Tigers will open the game with RHP Alden Cartwright (1-0, 1.69)
Turnbull went the distance, throwing a season high eight innings, allowing two runs on six hits with two strikeouts, a couple walks and two hit batters. Turnbull gave up single runs in the second and fourth innings to drop to 5-5 on the season.
For the Tigers, Aaron Nola threw a complete game as well, throwing nine scoreless innings, allowing four hits with no walks and nine strikeouts. Nola improved to 8-1 on the season after recording his first victory since April 11.
Nola had a perfect game through five innings until Casey Hughston got the Tide's first of four hits to open the top of the sixth inning. Alabama also got a single by Ben Moore in the seventh, and singles by Austen Smith and William Elliott in the eighth.
"We competed really hard and put ourselves in a couple positions during the game," Gaspard said. "There is a reason why Nola is the top college pitcher in the country. I like the way our guys played today, they stayed aggressive and stayed after it. We have to keep that same mentality into game two."
Mark Laird accounted for three of the Tigers' six hits in the game, while Jack Fraley was 1-for-3 with a double and a walk and scored both runs in the game.
The Tigers took a 1-0 lead when Tyler Moore's RBI single plated Fraley, who doubled off the second-base bag with one out in the second inning.
LSU added to its lead in the fourth when Danny Zardon slapped a two-out RBI double down the left field line. Turnbull walked Fraley and Moore before giving up the double to Zardon. A nice relay throw home from Daniel Cucjen cut down Moore at the plate, as he was trying to score from first on the play.
After the Tide got out of a bases loaded jam in the bottom of the fifth, Hughston broke up Nola's perfect game bid with a single to center field on a 2-1 pitch to lead off the Bama sixth. Nola then struck out the next two batters, before a fly out to right field ended the inning.
Alabama's biggest threat of the game came in the eighth, when it got a leadoff single by Smith and one-out pinch-hit single by Elliott. With runners on first and second with one out, Nola got Cucjen to line into an inning-ending double play to end the threat.

Christmas Festivities - Part 2
Coming back into town last night we stopped at my parents for dinner. It was great to visit with everyone, do a little nativity with the grandkids and open the traditional pajamas.This morning we woke up and opened family gifts. Abby loved the train set from Santa and the books and toy from mom and dad. (She caught on to the whole opening presents idea very quickly.)After opening gifts, we went to Grandma Nielsen's house for breakfast. It was fabulous to see so many of my cousins (especially knowing that it might be a while before I see them again). Next we went to visit Grandpa Tom in the care center and then to my parents house to exchange gifts with them. It has been a busy day and we are now about to head to a movie...
Merry Christmas!

Christmas Festivities - Part 1
Last Sunday we journeyed to visit with Mike's parents and sister and brother-in-law. We had a great time and enjoyed celebrating Christmas with them. We returned to Salt Lake on Christmas Eve. Somehow we lucked out completely by not hitting any snowstorms. (We made both trips in under 4 hours and 30 minutes!)
We swam at the nice rec center. Abby loved the big fast water slide.
She was enamored with her gorgeous new princess crown and earrings.
We did a mini hike to an overlook of the city and it was hard to pull Abby away from all the rocks!

Santa's Super Hero Elf
A couple weeks ago we went to Abby's cousin's Spiderman birthday party. She made a fierce super hero and went through at least 3 swords. Fortunately, Abby's uncle is a master balloon twister.

Where in the world...
Way back when when we decided to move, I started thinking about all the issues of going private, not revealing too much on the blog, etc. so I am going to do a little experiment. We have (finally) accepted a job offer and know where and when we'll be moving. It is a good feeling! Here's the experiment: I am not going to say where. Most of you already know. If you don't, feel free to email me because I'd love to tell you (really). I'm going to try for a while to be a bit less transparent on my blog (at least as far as locations). I think I'll hate it and just end up going private, but that doesn't sound super fun either. So, we'll wait and see.

Happy, Happy Birthday, Mike!
Today is Mike's 30th birthday. I did a little hubby questionnaire all about him. I love you, Mike!
1. Where did you meet your husband?
At a Stake FHE when we were both attending University Student Wards
2. How long did you date?
7 1/2 months
3. How long have you been married?
It will be 5 years in March
4. What does he do that surprises you?
Lots of things - he is really good to do dishes or laundry without being "hinted" at. Once he made plans to go snowboarding with some friends and when he got halfway to the ski resort he turned around and came back so that he could spend the day with me! That surprised me, but it is definitely true to his character!
5. What is your favorite feature of his?
I love his smile and dark hair.
6. What is his best quality?
He is very patient and extremely rarely gets upset.
7. Does he have a nick name for you?
Not really, but does call me "honey" a lot.
8. What is his favorite food?
He is very un-picky and will eat just about anything.
9. What is his favorite sport?
His knees don't let him participate in a lot of sports, but he does love snowboarding and enjoys watching U. football and Jazz games.
10. When and where was your first kiss?
Our first kiss was in a little canyon close to my family's cabin over Labor Day weekend.
11. What is your favorite thing to do as a couple?
We love to take vacations and road trips.
12. Do you have children?
2 girls and a boy on the way
13. Does he have hidden talents?
Mike is very compassionate. He reaches out to everyone and always strives to make others feel included.
14. How old is he?
30 years old today!
15. Who said I love you first?
He did! We took a drive up in Lamb's Canyon and stopped to sit by a pretty stream...
16. His favorite music?
Right now--Christmas music. Other than that, he's pretty eclectic.
17. What to you admire most about him?
As I already mentioned, I love how he reaches out to so many people. I also admire his ability to keep his cool, be patient and not get upset.
18. What is his favorite color?
19. Who eats more?
I actually think that I do (especially when I am pregnant). He is a healthier eater!
20. Who sings better?
I think that I probably do, but it is something that he really works at!
21. Who is smarter?
Mike. (I take pride though in knowing that we got the same ACT score in high school.)
22. Who does the laundry?
We both do (especially with Mike home so much now). I am really good at starting it and he is better at finishing it up!
23. Who does the dishes?
We both do.
24. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed?
25. Who pays the bills?
That is a complicated question. Mike pays the bills that are not on auto pay. I maintain the day-to-day budget.
26. Who mows the lawn?
Mike does. He tells me he likes to.
27. Who cooks dinner?
I do nearly always. He does on occasion. He's a good cook.
28. Who drives when you are together?
Most of the time Mike does.
29. Who is more stubborn?
30. Who asked who out first?
Mike did. He got my phone number at the FHE activity and called me a couple days later.
31. Who is more sensitive?
I think that we are both pretty sensitive in different ways.
32. Who has more siblings?
I have 4. He has 3.
33. Will he read this?
Eventually yes:)

A few numbers...
This is how much I paid per gallon of gas last night. Delicious!
This is how old my grandma is. We went together to the Jazz game with my aunt and uncle Wednesday night. It was a lot of fun! I love being with her. We parked a block and a half away and I genuinely had a hard time keeping up with her as we walked to the arena. (Yes, she really is 91.) (Unfortunately, the Jazz did not score more than 91, but the Miami Heat did--i.e. they lost.)
3 lbs. 2 oz.
This is how big baby brother is. (No, we don't have a name for him. The list keeps getting longer rather than shorter. Someday he will have a name. I am sure of it.) We got to "see" him on Wednesday. He is very cute. Speaking of baby brother, here is a cute anecdote about "big sister". When we ask Abby where her baby brother is, she taps her tummy and says, "My tummy!" We try to tell her, "No, he's in mommy's tummy." She will have none of that!

Job and Moving update:
Ask me on Monday. I think we'll commit then. We have a couple job offers and if you have heard us talk about where we have been leaning the last few weeks, you're probably gonna be right. The house is under contract. We have been very blessed.
What to do with a Little People's Nativity set:
"Hmmm...where to put this one..." These are our vacation trees. We like to get little souvenir ornaments on trips... This is the very proud girl next to the oh-so-simply-decorated-with-lots-of-love tree. (There really are more ornaments on the tree than meets the eye. It turned out to be a very cute tree!)

I feel obligated...
...to share a good customer service experience. (I can be fairly critical of poor customer service so I owe the good experiences equal time.)
A week or two ago I bought a photo book from Snapfish. They were doing a big Oprah promotion where you could get the book for shipping only!!! Well, as you can imagine, the web site was fairly slow because I wasn't the only person on the planet taking advantage of the promo. Long story short, I had to reenter my credit card number twice because it didn't take the first time. They didn't charge me twice, but they did charge me full price when it actually went through--quite disappointing.
The book arrived (and my baby is as cute as ever in it). I really wanted my money back though.
I emailed.
They said something like, "Sorry you must have ordered the wrong book." (I don't think so.)
I called.
The recording said something like, "If our phone system doesn't throw you off beforehand, you'll be on hold for about an hour." (I hung up.)
I was sad, but happy to have a cute book?!?
Now the good part...
Today I was checking my credit card balances online and...they credited me $21.35 a day or two ago! Why? I am not really sure, but they really did, and that is fabulous!
So, I'm a fan. Thanks, Snapfish!

One of my favorite holiday traditions is that every year my family cuts down Christmas trees from the property surrounding our cabin (we know the property owners:). It's so nice to have a fresh, nice smelling tree in my house! So that I don't feel guilty misleading you all, though, I must admit that I stayed behind in the cabin this year while several of the others traipsed around on the mountain. (I'm pregnant, right?) Here are a couple shots from this year's journey:

What is asked of us...
Today I read Elder M. Russell Ballard's talk from last month's general conference. I thought that these thoughts were worth remembering:
The Lord isn't asking us to load up a handcart; He's asking us to fortify our faith. He isn't asking us to walk across a continent; He's asking us to walk across the street to visit our neighbor. He isn't asking us to give all of our worldly possessions to build a temple; He's asking us to give of our means and our time despite the pressures of modern living to continue to build temples and then to attend regularly the temples already built. He isn't asking us to die a martyr's death; He's asking us to live a disciple's life.

The Big Game
Marinda is a Cougar fan. Mike is a Ute. The big question is what will Abby turn out to be?
Tonight, he taught her during the game to call out "B-Y-Utes". I thought that was fairly diplomatic.
I was quite disappointed by the outcome of the game, but in all fairness, it'll be nice to have a hometown team in a BCS bowl again.

Little Daredevil
In this picture she was jumping off the stairs. Not too high, I know, but it was very cute. She'd say "Ready, go!" and then kind of throw herself off the stairs.

Happy Veteran's and Birthdays!
Happy birthday yesterday to my mother-in-law! We hope it was a great day!
Yesterday was also Veteran's Day and my grandpa was honored at a ceremony, along with 12 other veterans, at the U. This is the nice write up that they read at the ceremony and here is a story that a local NPR station did on my grandpa and dad. Here is a picture of the two of them. It was fun to see my dad in his Air Force dress blues.

I appreciate that many of us share similar opinions and that many of us will disagree. That is OK. It is good to look at the world through different eyes on occasion and try to see someone else's viewpoint.
We are so blessed to be able to vote as a way to express opinions.
I am deeply saddened when that right of a people or an organization are protested and, in effect, denied.
My church and fellow church members have every right to express their views on moral positions.
They should be treated with respect by those whose views on those moral issues differ.
Incidentally, I still feel strongly that our country has spoken with regards to our elected officials and now we pray for them and do everything in our power to help us all succeed!

So, I will throw in my two cents on the election results. Most of the candidates I voted for won, but a few key candidates didn't.
It's kind of weird though because in the past I have been very passionate about election results--getting very worked up about results that I "approved" or "disapproved" of, but tonight I'm not (except for the individual who beat my dad in a race a few years ago and it looks like he might lose his seat tonight--I'm feeling a bit smug about that).
My main thoughts:
I need to just pray for my leaders--old and new, regardless of party, and try to make my corner of the world a tiny bit better. We live in a great country and I am proud to be an American. I know that with our prayers and our efforts we can accomplish much.
Right now that is how I feel, but maybe tomorrow morning I'll wake up feeling differently--more upset about the upsets or giddy about the wins. We'll see.
By the way, Mike and I showed up at the polls at 6:55 this morning (woke the baby up to beat the rush). There was a pretty good line when we arrived, but by the time we left at 7:20ish the line was almost gone. Strange...I heard that the lines were quite short most of the day...nothing like the early voting lines (so I hear).

Happy Birthday, Abby!
Here are 10 things about Abby that I think are great:
1. Abby is a talker-and-a-half. Especially in the car, she can talk like no other and we love hearing her cute voice.
2. Abby has a ton of energy. She wears me out and doesn't sit on our laps for long but I love her exuberance and busy-ness.
3. She is very friendly. I am glad that she is social and enjoys talking to and meeting new people.
4. Abby loves to read. We spend lots of time with books and a common phrase is, "I need to read!"
5. Abby is quite a happy kid. We all have sad moments, but I am grateful that we can generally count on a big smile from our girl.
6. We think that she is very cute.
7. Abby likes reading the scriptures. She loves finding pictures of Jesus and Alma (her favorite Book of Mormon character) in her story book. (She also has a very exuberant "Amen" at the end of prayers!)
8. She is very fashion conscious. Sometimes it can be pretty hard to convince her to wear pants instead of dresses. I always love it when she tells me she likes my clothes and then proceeds to pick out shoes to match them.
9. She is quite the smarty pants. She counts to 4, knows several shapes and colors and is learning letters. I also laugh as we drive through the neighborhood and she tells me who lives in which house.
10. We love that she is ours forever!
Here are a few pictures of our day today (Wheeler Farm--I think I could just eat that little piglet up--not literally, cake, presents plus a visit to grandma):
(That is a smile.)

Slate takes a look. Check it out.
Many of those items in the article are more about quality then being exotic. Not only is it expensive to eat well, it is expensive to eat healthy in many cases. But that's a whole other topic.
Thanks Steve, that was funny, sad and so true all at once.

Paterson, Katherine. The Sign of the Chrysanthemum. New York: Harper Trophy,
Katherine Paterson catches the interesting and lifelike experiences of a Japanese teen in one of her extraordinary novels, The Sign of the Chrysanthemum. Closing in on a tie between realistic fiction and historical fiction gives way to a surprising victory for historical fiction for the result that this book was set in the time of the twelfth-century Japan and the quarrel of two actual rival clans: the Genji and the Heike! In this historical fiction novel it tells of a boy named Muna who sets off to find his father for a noble name after his mother's death. During the free ship ride he meets a ronin named Takanobu who becomes his friend. The Red Dog catches on fire and Muna is saved by Fukuji, the swordsmith. Takanobu, who comes back from his pretend death, claims to be his father and tells Muna to give him a sword from Fukuji. Muna steals the sword of Fukuji and reacts soon after he sees the ugly truth of Takanobu with a swing of the sword towards his hand. Fukuji receives the sword back from Muna and forgives him. At the end, Muna decides to keep his name, no name and as Fukuji heard that he made Muna his apprentice.
A very well approved theme is the motto: "Through fire is the spirit forged," meaning through the pain of Muna's spirit or experience is when his true personality or soul has been acknowledged into the inspirational outlook of his own heart. For instance, Muna's mother died so he went to find his father. Another result was that Kawaki had died due to a serious disease so his daughter Akiko who Muna had loved was sent to a bawdy house. As an attempt to save her he got beat up by Kato the bodyguard of the bawdy house. When Fukuji asked Muna to choose any name that he wanted, he decided to keep the name, Muna because either way it wouldn't change who he was. As a result, Fukuji made him his apprentice, after he,...

i have lived at least three lives.
one: groundwork
two: explosive theory and practice
three: the art of eruption and collapse
those mishaps.
those misunderstandings.
those things that entered my skin
closing all exists, have now dismantled.
all the mistakes–
the limbs lost in mine fields–
all the powerlessness that sank inside
this chest laden with fireworks—exploded.
and then was doused.
the dynamite, unsettled,
is now transformed electricity,
which I control, choose,
and illuminate with.
there are no fuses.
there is no gun powder.
this new pilgrimage
is calm
is life-giving
is existence
with an undercurrent
of perfect voltage.
a beautiful spark buzzing
in an arc over my salty skin.

Google Does Not Like Plagiarists!!
As you know I reported two plagiarized articles to Google. The article that was on the Chinese website has been removed. It's good to know that Google takes plagiarism seriously, and actually does something about it! The other article is on a website that originates in India, still waiting to hear from Google on that one.

The time has come that I dreaded the most when I took over the general manager position 4 months ago.......hiring a new driver.
I had just gotten some hiring experience when we were looking for someone new for the part-time office position.
So the time has come, and of course, I was nervous.
(Total sidenote: I've joked with my boss that I needed to keep a flask in my desk at work to get through the 'moments' that come along with the job. She tells me today that she was actually thinking about buying me one for Christmas! LOL I just had to laugh at her....I am totally not a drinker -- it's socially, and not in excess -- and I certainly would never be tossing one back at my desk -- but man would it have been a riot to open up a monogrammed flask)
Of course then I had the new face that I was growing on my cheek and had that to worry about.
Well, you tend to forget that your second head is actually conducting the interview when your interview-ee has leftovers all over his shirt. Have people forgotten that looking nice at an interview is a good thing? (This reminds me of another peeve: Wearing blue jeans to a wake/funeral)
So, a word to the wise - even if it is for a 3rd shift delivery driver position - looking your best really still does have an impact on your overall rating. I'm not talking a shirt and tie here -- but any sort of outfit without lunch all over it.

I grew up in Dartford. My house ...Re: Dartford ON.

I grew up in Dartford. My house was the old grocery/post office/gas station. The house in the photo used to be the blong to the mill owner or his family I believe. It still has wood siding and had the original hardwood flooring (that creeks a lot!) the last time I was there a few years back. The foundation was built with large stones from the lot and concrete. It's quite a large house. There have been two sucessive antique stores run from the front room, but not any more.

Unfortunately the old Mill house in the adjacent lot burnt down in 2005, but the dam is still there. A shame since it was a very beautiful and well-preserved house.

It's interesting to hear that you enjoyed the finds in Audrey's barn. I used to play in there all the time when I was little, and always found the collection fascinating, though it never occured to me it could be valuable. There was also an old maple shack or something in the forest further down the road which fell in years ago, and a rusted out maple syrup boiler under the fallen leaves to the west a kilometer or so.

There is still good hunting in the area. I've seen deer, bear tacks, geese galore and even a pack of coyotes running across the frozen pond. Elderberries, fiddleheads and wild grapes grow in abundance - if you know where to look. Also on a note of interest, you can still make out the original course of the creek before it was dammed into the pond, by the large watter-logged stumps visable through the water. If you ever get the chance to canoe up the pond, I recommend it!

The Kremlin Vigilantes
Matthews, Owen, Nemtsova, Anna, Newsweek International
Byline: Owen Matthews and Anna Nemtsova
As anti-immigrant groups grow more violent, they get more explicit support from Russian authorities.
One day this winter a trainload of migrant workers from Uzbekistan arrived at a railway station in Moscow where they were greeted by a crowd of 100 people waving placards that said things like ILLEGAL ONES, GET OUT OF HERE! and AN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT IS A THIEF. Behind the demonstration: the Young Guard--the youth group of the ruling United Russia party--which says its mission is to help fulfill Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin's plan to rein in the number of migrant laborers coming into the country. "The party is responsible for executive and legislative policy," says Andrei Tatarinov, deputy director of the Young Guards' central headquarters, "and we are responsible for taking that policy onto the streets."
Such a policy represents a big turnaround for Russia, which until very recently has officially welcomed immigrants if not with open arms than at least with grudging acceptance. Since the fall of the Soviet Union there have been no restrictions on travel between most of the former Soviet states, though the number of work permits issued has varied from year to year. Russia's massive building and retail boom fueled by years of steady economic expansion created millions of largely semiskilled jobs that workers from Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Moldova and Kyrgyzstan rushed to fill, with official blessing. As a result, Russia last year was the second biggest immigrant destination in the world (after the United States), with nearly 7 million migrants, 2.8 million legal and about 4 million illegal.
But as the Russian economy craters, its immigrant community looks set to suffer most as a backlash against foreigners--Russia's time-honored scapegoats from tsarist times--gathers pace. Over the last year, the number of attacks on foreigners has risen sharply. Sova, a Moscow NGO that monitors hate crimes, reports that 96 foreigners were killed and 410 wounded as a result of racist attacks in 2008--an increase of nearly a third over the year before. Aleksandr Verkhovsky, head of Sova, says racist gangs of armed vigilantes are "walking the streets, their faces wrapped in black scarves" and assaulting and terrorizing immigrants. The police do virtually nothing to stop them, he says.
Almost every illegal immigrant has a horror story to tell. Boria Zhan, a 26-year-old from Tajikistan, says he spent 18 days last fall building a dacha for a rich Moscow family 150 kilometers out of town. When he asked for the promised 20,000 rubles ($843), his employer threw him out on the road penniless. In a spate of particularly horrific incidents, the head of a Tajik laborer was found in a Moscow trash bin in December, and in October a gruesome video of two immigrants being decapitated by masked Russian-speaking men began circulating on ultranationalist Web sites. …

n MNASSA : Monthly Notes of the Astronomical Society of South Africa - South African Space Agency due to be established this year : news notes
On 15 January 2009, President Kgalema Motlanthe signed a Bill into law that paves the way towards the creation of South Africa's own Space Agency later this year. The National Space Agency Act will pull together all space-related activities under one banner and will provide for the establishment of a National Space Agency to implement a space programme in South Africa. It will also implement the National Space Strategy which was approved by Cabinet in December last year, to stimulate the capability to place South Africa among the leading nations in the innovative use of space science and technology.

GOP bad faith on the debt ceiling
from Kevin P. Gallagher
President Obama has the economic and moral high ground on the debt ceiling debate – but won't take it. With an eye next year's elections, the Republicans are putting Obama on the defensive by using the debate to paint Obama as a big spending Democrat.
Let's get the facts straight on a few things: the Republicans are largely responsible for the debt problem because they spent too much and taxed too little during the Bush years; and austerity economics doesn't bring economic growth.
Why don't we hear that from the White House?
John Maynard Keynes taught us that the future is uncertain and so governments need to prepare for economic downturns, because private markets won't. He said, "The boom, not the slump, is the right time for austerity." That means reducing spending and increasing taxes during growth spurts, and lowering taxes and increasing spending during recessions.
Contrary to Republican rhetoric, it is the Republicans under George Bush who brought the nation into unsafe debt territory during one of the most significant economic booms of our lifetimes. George Bush entered the White House inheriting a budget surplus and a manageable debt burden. As economist Menzie Chinn has shown, when Bush took office he inherited a public debt to GDP ratio at just 34%. But Bush forced through tax cuts for the rich and increased spending on a war that no other country would pay for – and increased the debt ratio by 17 percentage points to a concerning 51%.
The Republicans handed the Obama administration an economic crisis and an empty hand in terms of the ability to pay for needed fiscal stimuli to recover from the crisis. Nevertheless, Obama did the right thing, albeit too modestly, and put forth a $700bn stimulus package that at least kept us from the abyss. The stimulus package and other spending by Obama only increased the debt ratio by 13 percentage points (compared to the 17 points under Bush) and was more economically justified, given the crisis.
The bulk of evidence shows that austerity economics does not bring growth during a downturn. A new IMF study looks at the experience with austerity in industrialised countries from 1978 to 2009, and finds that for every 1% of GDP in budget cutting, GDP is reduced by close to two-thirds of a percentage point and the unemployment rate increases by one third of a percentage point.
The one study (pdf) that rightwing pundits like to cite as evidence that austerity brings growth turns out to be flawed. Arjun Jayadev and Mike Konczal unpacked the study by Alberto F Alesina and Silvia Ardagna that claims that slashing deficits is associated with economic expansion and reductions in overall debt levels. Jayadev's and Konczal's closer look at the data finds the reverse: "when countries cut in a slump, it often results in lower growth and/or higher debt-to-GDP ratios."
Now that government spending has declined by the most since 1983, unemployment is increasing rather than decreasing in the United States. The Republicans had their chance for austerity but got greedy; now, the mess needs to be cleaned up. We need further stimulus and a long-term plan to narrow the deficit – which can only be narrowed by strong growth and increased revenue.
The Republicans were wrong to spend and tax cut during the Bush years. They are wrong now to say that budget-cutting – and perhaps even a default, as some in the Tea Party caucus are advocating – will put the US back on track.
And Obama and the Democrats are wrong to agree with them.

Why don't we hear that from the White House?
Could it be that the White House is on the same side of this good cop / bad cop class war propaganda to confuse us about the predators who raid civilization for private gain and won't contribute to civilization for the betterment of humanity and the planet.
I personally see no high ground for an administration promoting external military war, internal class war and extractive war on the planet.

Pattern cost: $4.00
This pattern was designed while on a long car trip to Maine. The stitch pattern is reminiscent of the way pine seeds nestle against one another on a fir cone, hence the name. The eye of partridge heel flap is a lovely touch.
Yarns suggested: Valley Yarns Franklin
Needle size: US 1½ / 2.5 mm

Yes, this exchange really occurred.
Moments ago, I asked a colleague, "do you think I'm obsessed with my work?"
After a pause, they responded, "ummm... is this a trick question?"
I laughed and responded, "you could've just said 'yes'."
