Today was full of surprises. At about 0430 I got up for a moment and headed to the bathroom. What captured my attention right away was the weird flashing lights on all the windows. When I returned to the bedroom, I looked out and the entire sky was alight from end to end with huge blasts of lightning. It was a completely silent display though – no thunder at all. It looked like the Northern Lights.
At first I wondered if I should stick my hearing aids in to see if there was some thunder, but decided not to. Instead, I went to my computer room and brought up the NOAA weather map (http://radar.weather.gov/Conus/index_lite.php). Sure enough, there was a huge pod of storms centered overhead.
About that time, thunder began registering from the West – a normal direction for most storms. Lightning began flashing even faster and, since thunder was accompanying it at around two or three second intervals (about 3 miles away) I decided to shut down my electronics. Good thing too as about ten minutes later we had a power dip that lasted about three seconds. I could hear my electronics and UPS boxes beeping.
When I got back to bed a half-hour later I kept getting jolted awake by thunder as I dozed off. Very noisy indeed. Finally gave up at about 0730 and went for my mile walk in brief sunshine.
Now, all day long it has been storming on and off. First a burst of sun and next heavy, rain-laden clouds. Not very much actual rain though. My gauge shows only about 0.85 inches as of 1700 today. The wind was very high at times and blew a squirrels nest right out of a tree and onto the top of my truck. No damage, but I bet it was a wild ride for the squirrels inside it.
The weather has somewhat backed off now but the wind continues. According to the weatherpersons it will continue like this for the next two days. I don't think so though.
Saturday was me and my wife's 46th wedding anniversary. We went to the Red Lobster and had a great dinner. You have to be careful about telling anyone at those resturaunts though about special days because most of them make a big fuss over it. I prefer not to be the object of everyone's attention. For example: when we went to a local Texas steak house for my birthday one of my friends told the greeter it was my birthday and, when I wasn't looking, they wheeled over a huge spindly fake horse with a saddle and tried to get me to sit on it. That wouldn't have been too bad, but they also wanted me to slap on a goofy 10-gallon hat made of floppy felt that had a brim about 3-feet round. I felt like an idiot.
My granddaughter is doing right well with her driving lessons. She can now zoom along an interstate highway without trepidation. She still merges cautiously, which is a plus, but needs to be just a bit more agressive. She also received confirmation this afternoon that she has landed a great job working with kids part time. This is not to interfere with her college classes though. It will give her some spending money for sure and give her lots of practical experience for her chosen professional aims – lower grades teaching.
Time to get ready for dinner now.

I used to work with a guy I respect a lot. Still do. He's a smart, sensible and sensitive human being. Works hard, loves his child, pays his taxes, lives his life with conviction and takes responsibility for his actions.
There's just one thing that bothers me. While we disagree politically, I just don't understand his vitriolic hatred for the President of the United States. He HATES Obama. Not just distrust or disagree. HATES. Wants him impeached or jailed.
I probably went overboard on Facebook when I all but accused him of drinking the Tea Party Kool Aid. Then he responded that only "Libutards" (like me, I presume) drink Kool Aid. Really? Here I was thinking that everyone in our hyped-up, angry, social media-driven times has their blood boiling and is standing their ground, at least online.
But I gotta say, whatever my misgivings about Obama — and I do have them — I think history will be kind to him. He is succeeding on some policy fronts — economic recovery, health-care reform, climate change, and education reform. I don't see what he's done to directly harm the people of the US. Nor have I heard a word from the GOP/Party of No that isn't just negativity or a rehash of what hasn't worked before.
Ten years ago, some of my left-leaning friends screamed at me because I was against Bush/Cheney impeachment, despite the mess in Iraq. To me it wasn't smart or realistic. My father may turn over in his grave, but from the perspective of 40 years I would not have favored Nixon's impeachment — though resigning was the right move.
I wanted Hillary in 2008 and thought he was drastically under-qualified. Too many people bought the hype and expected him to be more than a politician. Surprise, surprise! It's taken a while, but he's finally gotten some political courage.
Maybe it's just the realization that there's no point trying to get people who hate you and want you to fail to see your POV. The GOP has done everything they can to stop Obama with no effect. He just rolls on.
This week they've reduced themselves to filing a lawsuit against the White House for choosing executive action instead of waiting for Congress to say what it usually says — No. It would be funny if it weren't so pathetic. Go cry in your beer, Boehner. You blew it.
Am I defending the POTUS? No. But I'm a patriotic American and a realist. I support our Commander-in-Chief, even when he's not a Democrat. I'm not happy about the trial and error, on-the-job training of our POTUS. There's plenty I don't like, and our foreign policy remains a disaster. But today I see a guy who's doing a job, sometimes badly, sometimes well. Too often he's doing the job he was elected to do against people who do nothing and hate him automatically, often because of pre-conceived notions or frankly, the color of his skin.

The Secrets to Establish the Best Weight Loss and Wellness Centrem in Birmingham
With multiple strategies and tricks on how to lose your weight fast, it is vital that you identify the right wellness and weight loss centers. You should not select any weight clinic that you don't know anything about because you are likely to develop the wrong program. Here is a guideline to work with to ensure that you only identify the leading weight loss centers near your area.
Scrutinize the Capability of the Trainers
You can conduct your survey through the online websites and ask multiple questions to the different staff that offers the weight loss programs. You should scrutinize the certificates of the doctors that you are chatting with online to ensure that they are the most qualified through the different studies that they have undertaken about weight loss. Select the weight loss center that has different professionals such as psychologist and the nutritionist who will help you develop the best diet.
Ensure That You Book an Appointment with the Health Clinic
You should get knowledge by visiting and even interacting with the different trainers and professionals. The best way to scrutinize if the health center is the ideal one is by checking at the reception that you get and if they have the right mentality to help you achieve your perfect weight. You should walk through the different partitions of the center to verify if they are clean enough and if they have the right facility.
Check Out the Variety of Diet Offered
The diet works in a different way when given to the various patients. You can quickly maintain the right meal plan by checking the prepackaged diet from the institution and if they are flexible with the food that they offer. You can quickly achieve a right weight by working with professional advice on the right meal plan made for you.
Be Sure on How Long the Results Will Appear
Once you have cut your weight, you should maintain the same routine and the center can help you with that. You should go for the one that will offer education on the healthier lifestyle that you need to maintain.
Check out On the Location of the Centre
You can have the same weight that you've been dreaming of overtime when you are near a weight loss center. Research indicates that when you are based in a nearby weight loss center, you will be very serious about your activity and attended the daily sessions.
You should differentiate between weight loss programs and fitness centers to ensure that you select the most successful clinics. You should take your time to search through the various websites to see the testimonials and the weight loss and wellness centers that are performing online.

Two friends surpass turkey collection goal with help from community
Two friends hoping to help Louisville families on Thanksgiving are now getting an outpouring from the community.
Joey Wagner and Jason Brown wanted to collect 100 turkeys Tuesday for the Plymouth Community Center in west Louisville.
They're calling it Turkey Stock 2014.
Just a few minutes into the drive, they had already surpassed their goal.
They now have more than 300 turkeys, along with canned goods and other sides for Thanksgiving dinner.
"I put out a social media post and got a little fun with it and called it Turkey Stock and literally between the two of us our cellphones and our email have been blowing up. The response we've seen from our friends, our network, our community has been unbelievable," said Wagner.
The turkey collection continues until 8 p.m. at Brownie's, the Shed Grille and Bar on Whittington Parkway between Shelbyville Road and Hurstbourne Parkway.

- Yale will play either Fordham or Hartford on Friday. Tip-off will either be 1:00 p.m. (if Yale loses Thursday) or 3:30 p.m. (if Yale wins Thursday)
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – A strong tournament field awaits the Yale women's basketball team in New York at the 11th annual Fordham Holiday Classic, where the three other teams have combined for a 23-10 (.697) record. The Bulldogs, who face UC Davis in the first round on Thursday at 3:30 p.m., will look to bounce back after having a four-game winning streak snapped last Thursday by Indiana. The winners of Thursday's games will meet Friday at 3:30 p.m. for the championship, while the losers of Thursday's games will play at 1:00 p.m. Friday in the third-place game. Yale last played in Fordham's tournament in 2010.
Yale (7-4, 0-0 Ivy League) had a four-game winning streak snapped last time out, falling to Indiana 72-68 at Lee Amphitheater. Senior guard Tamara Simpson (North Babylon, N.Y.) scored a career-high 31 points, including the 1,000th point of her career. She also led the team with five assists and five steals. Senior forward Jen Berkowitz (Wayland, Mass.) had a team-best eight rebounds.
Yale is averaging 70.9 points per game, second-best in the Ivy League and a 16 percent improvement over last season's average (61.1 points per game). The last time the Bulldogs averaged 70.0 or more points per game for a full season was 1986-87 (73.5 points per game).
The 82 points the Bulldogs scored in the wins vs. Colgate and TCU represent the most they have scored in Allison Guth's three seasons as Yale's Joel E. Smilow, Class of 1954 Head Coach of Women's Basketball.
Yale hit 10 three-pointers in the 82-56 win vs. Colgate Nov. 13, the most the Bulldogs have hit in a game since hitting 11 on Dec. 1, 2016. That included seven threes in the first quarter alone, led by three from first-year guard Tori Andrew (Wayzata, Minn.).
Last year the Bulldogs averaged 6.8 made threes per game; they are averaging 6.0 per game this year. In the three games that Andrew has played, the Bulldogs averaged 7.7 threes per game. Yale has hit six or more three-pointers in eight of 11 games this year.
Senior guard Mary Ann Santucci (Seattle, Wash.) was elected captain for the 2017-18 season by her teammates. Santucci has missed just one game in her career, and has 51 starts -- including 26 starts last season. One of the team's top ballhandlers, she was second on the team in assists last season (2.2 per game) and shot a career-high 35.9 percent from three-point range. She averaged a career-high 4.6 points per game. She is averaging 3.6 points per game this year.
Santucci earned her third start of the season Dec. 2, posting a season-high 12 points in the win at Binghamton. She was 3-for-6 from three-point range.
Santucci is an ecology and evolutionary biology major in Morse College. She graduated from Seattle Prep.
Senior guard Tamara Simpson (North Babylon, N.Y.) became the 20th player in Yale history to reach the 1,000 career point mark with a layup in the first quarter against Indiana at Lee Amphitheater on Dec. 21. She went on to score a career-high 31 points that day.
Those were the latest milestones in Simpson's career, as she enjoys her best season to date. She leads the team in scoring, averaging 17.8 points per game (fourth in the Ivy League) -- an 85 percent improvement over last season (9.6 points per game). She also leads the Ivy League in steals (4.9 per game) and is ninth in assists (3.1 per game). She scored 21 points in the season-opening 62-51 win vs. LIU Brooklyn, shooting 6-for-12 from the field, then matched that total Dec. 12 in the 70-49 win at Saint Peter's. She tied her career high with nine steals against Providence Nov. 29, matching that total in the win at Stony Brook Dec. 6.
Simpson now has 1,029 career points. The last Bulldog to reach the 1,000-point milestone was Janna Graf '14, who finished her career in 2014 with 1,151 points. Graf scored her 1,000th point on Dec. 29, 2013. Yale's all-time leading scorer is Mary Kalich '95 (1,663 points).
Simpson is the reigning Ivy League Defensive Player of the Year. She already holds the Yale career record for steals (281 entering Thursday's game). As of Dec. 23 she was second among active NCAA players in career steals. She led the league in steals last season with 79 and contributed offensively as well -- she was third on the team in points per game (9.6).
Simpson is a psychology major in Jonathan Edwards College. She graduated from Portledge School.
At six-foot-two, senior forward Jen Berkowitz (Wayland, Mass.) is a formidable presence in the post for the Bulldogs. She is second on the team in scoring (14.5 points per game, ninth in the Ivy League) and leads the team in rebounding (8.2 rebounds per game, fifth in the Ivy League). She also has the league's best field goal percentage (.530). She is on pace for career highs in all three categories. She tied her career high with 26 points in the win at Stony Brook, and had a career-high 16 rebounds at Kansas.
Berkowitz returns after earning honorable mention All-Ivy League recognition last season. She led the team and finished sixth in the league with 13.4 points per game. She led the league in field goal percentage (.508) and was ninth in rebounding (6.9 per game).
Berkowitz is a history of science, medicine and public health major in Saybrook College. She graduated from The Rivers School.
Sophomore guard Roxy Barahman (Calabasas, Calif.) has been making up for lost time this season. Barahman was limited to 17 games (one start) last season, but is one of three Bulldogs averaging 30.0 minutes or more per game this season and has made nine starts. She is second on the team in assists (3.1 per game, 10th in the Ivy League), is second in steals (2.3 per game, sixth in the Ivy League) and is third in rebounds (4.6 per game).
Barahman set a career high with six assists in the win at TCU Nov. 21, and set a career high with 11 rebounds in the win vs. Colgate Nov. 13. She scored a career-high 24 points at Binghamton Dec. 2.
Barahman is in Davenport College and is a graduate of Oaks Christian.
Sophomore forward Megan Gorman (Vero Beach, Fla.) remains one of Yale's most consistent rebounding presences. She is second on the team in rebounding this year (4.9 per game) after finishing third last year (5.1 per game). She has had at least four rebounds in eight of 11 games this season, and had a season-high eight rebounds in the win at Binghamton. Her career high in rebounds is 15, set Jan. 27, 2017, against Brown.
Gorman is in Trumbull College and is a graduate of Vero Beach High School.
First-year forward Ellen Margaret Andrews (Dallas, Texas) earned her first career start when the Bulldogs played at TCU, near her hometown of Dallas, on Nov. 21. She wound up with a season-high nine rebounds in that game. She has now started eight straight games.
Andrews scored a season-high 14 points in the 75-62 win at Central Connecticut State Dec. 9, shooting 6-for-12 (.500). She has scored double-digit points in three straight games, and has shot 50 percent or better from the field in four straight games. Her .762 free-throw percentage is best on the team among those with 20 or more attempts.
Andrews is in Berkeley College and is a graduate of Greenhill School.
Yale has developed quite a home court advantage in recent years. Since the start of the 2014-15 season the Bulldogs have gone 27-16 (.628) at John J. Lee Amphitheater. Here is a look at the team's home record in the past five+ seasons:
2012-13: 6-7 (.462)
2013-14: 7-6 (.538)
2014-15: 8-4 (.667)
2015-16: 10-5 (.667)
2016-17: 7-4 (.636)
2017-18: 2-3 (.400)
Yale welcomes four first years to the roster for the 2017-18 season. All four were captains of their high school teams and bring impressive credentials to New Haven.
The newcomers include a pair of record-setting guards in Ale Aguirre (La Jolla, Calif.) and Tori Andrew (Wayzata, Minn.). Aguirre should be able to stretch opposing defenses: she finished seventh in the nation, second in California and first in San Diego for three-pointers made in a career. She set the national record for three-pointers in a game with 15, earning a mention on ESPN. Andrew is also a threat from deep. A three-time first team all-state selection, she set school career records for scoring, double-doubles and three-pointers made. Her high basketball IQ should enable her to contribute immediately.
The class also includes a pair of forwards. Ellen Margaret Andrews (Dallas, Texas) was the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches Large Private Player of the Year as a senior. Her athleticism enabled her to be all-conference in three sports (basketball, track and volleyball), and she was the first player in her school's history to score 1,000 points in a season. Alex Cade (Shaker Heights, Ohio) was a two-time all-state selection and averaged a double-double her senior year (16.7 points, 13.8 rebounds) while adding 4.2 blocks per game.
The 2016-17 season was one to build on for the Yale women's basketball team. The Bulldogs were on a roll at the end, winning four of their last five games to finish with the team's best win total (15) since 2011-12. Four of the six players who averaged 20 or more minutes per game for Yale in 2016-17 return for 2017-18.
Known as a skilled recruiter throughout her 10-plus years of coaching, Allison Guth was named Yale's Joel E. Smilow, Class of 1954 Head Coach of Women's Basketball in May of 2015, returning to the Bulldogs after serving as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator from 2010 to 2012. Guth is the 10th head coach in the history of the women's basketball program, which dates to the 1973-74 season.
The team has made steady progress under Guth, whose staff includes assistants Melissa D'Amico, Roman Owen and Jacinda Dunbar -- all also in their third season with Yale. The Bulldogs have improved their win total from season to season in each of the past two years. Last season they finished with their best win total (15) since 2011-12.
Prior to being named Yale's head coach, Guth spent three seasons at Northwestern as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator, helping turn the women's basketball team into a national power. In her final season, the Wildcats went 23-9 (12-6 Big Ten) and qualified for an NCAA Tournament berth for the first time since 1997.
During her first stint in New Haven, Guth was instrumental in Yale's resurgence as a contender for the Ivy League championship and helped guide the Bulldogs to their best two-year record in 18 years and the most Ivy League wins in a two-year span (18; 10-4 in 2010-11, 8-6 in 2011-12) in the program's history. Guth previously served as an assistant coach at DePaul, Missouri and Loyola-Chicago.
Guth, who led Buffalo Grove (Illinois) High School to the 2000 Class AA State title, and her high school teammates were inducted into the Illinois Coaches Basketball Association Hall of Fame in April of 2013.
A three-time letter winner at Illinois, Guth helped the Illini reach the 2003 NCAA Tournament after earning a spot as a walk-on and then earning a scholarship. An Academic All-Big Ten selection, Guth also played a season with the Illinois women's golf team before graduating in 2004. She earned a Bachelor of Science degree in business before getting her Master's degree in educational leadership from DePaul in 2010.
Yale recently made a special addition to its roster thanks to Team IMPACT, an organization that pairs college teams and children who have serious illnesses. The newest Bulldog is Selam Olson, an 11-year-old from New Haven. She was diagnosed with an immune disorder at birth. Selam joined the Yale team shortly before the season opener and was formally introduced at a press conference on Dec. 8. More about her story is available by clicking here.
UC Davis (9-2, 0-0 Big West) has dropped two in a row since starting the season 9-0, but the Aggies remain one of the toughest teams on Yale's schedule. Currently ranked No. 58 in RPI, they are one of two teams in the top 60 that the Bulldogs are scheduled to face this year (Princeton, currently No. 21, is the other). The Aggies are among the top 20 nationally in assists per game (19.1), defensive rebounds per game (30) and three-point field-goal percentage (40.1).
Six-foot-four forward Morgan Bertsch, a first All-Big West selection last year, leads UC Davis in scoring (21.2 points per game) and is shooting 55.1 percent from the field. Forwards Pele Gianotti (6.0 rebounds per game) and Cierra Hall (5.2) give the Aggies a strong presence on the boards. Guard Kourtney Eaton leads the team in assists, averaging 5.5 per game. Her twin, guard/forward Karley Eaton, is averaging 2.5 assists per game.
Head coach Jennifer Gross is in her seventh season, and is a 1997 UC Davis graduate. She was the 2017 Big West Coach of the Year after leading the team to 25 wins and the Sweet 16 of the WNIT.
Fordham (7-4, 0-0 Atlantic 10), which plays Hartford on Thursday at 1:00 p.m., has won three of its last four games -- including a 67-64 double-overtime win against cross-town rivals St. John's. The Rams are 5-1 at home, and feature one of the top defenses in the country. They are allowing just 54.7 points per game, and have held four opponents under the 50-point mark.
Forward G'mrice Davis leads the team in scoring (14.7 points per game) and rebounding (13.4 rebounds per game). She has eight double-doubles so far this season. Forward Mary Goulding leads the team in assists (2.8 per game).
Head coach Stephanie Gaitley has led Fordham to four postseason appearances in her first six years, including an NCAA Tournament appearance in 2014 and WNIT appearances in 2013, 2015 and 2017. In addition to the U.S., the team's roster features players from Fiji, Germany, Latvia and New Zealand.
Hartford (7-4, 0-0 America East) brings a four-game winning streak into the Fordham Holiday Classic, winning those games by an average margin of nearly 14 points. The Hawks have four players averaging in double-digits, led by guard Lindsey Abed (12.4 points per game). She also leads the team in assists (3.8 per game) and is second in rebounds (4.7 per game). Forward Janelle Harrison leads the team in rebounds (7.3 per game).
Kim McNeill is in her second season as Hartford's head coach, having led the team to its winningest season since 2012-13 last year. The Hawks were fifth in the nation in steals per game last year, and are 15th this year (12.4).

Hello Asheville!
Well, I took some flack from some commentators on Ashvegas last week because I enjoyed the hospitality of two local restauranteurs (Anthony Cerrato from Strada/Social Lounge and Katie Button from Curate/Nightbell) and then I gave a positive report on that hospitality.
Our good friends from Orbit DVD, way over there on the other side of the river in WAVL, posted a legitimate question, and did it without being jerks. They basically wanted to know if I can remain objective while rubbing elbows and taking selfies with the chefs and restaurant owners of Asheville. Is my status as a "critic" compromised if I'm friendly with the same folks I'm reviewing?
I wrote what I thought was an appropriate response to their Q in the comments last week, but here's some bullet points on the subject for everyone, including those who were less unjerky about it:
• I have not taken a sacred oath to be a secret food spy.
• This is a small town.
• I'm a friendly person.
• I'm gonna meet chefs, I'm gonna become friendly with some of them.
• I'm always going to strive to tell it like it is when I write my reviews.
• If Katie Button had served me a turd of a dish, I would have let you know. She did not. Trust me.
My mission with these columns is to entertain and inform, in that order. I'll leave the assessment of the entertainment value up to you guys, but I think I did a pretty dang good job of informing you about the food at both the Social Lounge-catered event and at Nightbell.
This week, I have reviews of three cafes, a missing fig spread, and flavored condoms for you. I am not friends with any of the owners or manufacturers.
EDNA'S - Merrimon Ave, North Asheville
I like Edna's. Dawn's not a fan, but I can sometimes get her to go there. Here's what I like about it:
• The coffee is really good – It's always strong, and rich, and hot, and awesome. I think it's among the best in town. I really do.
• The chocolate chip muffin is good too – It's big and solid and sweet, but not overly sweet, and has lots of chocolate chips. I get it every time. I love it. The general consensus at Food Critic HQ is that the rest of the pastries do kinda sorta suck, unfortch, and that's why Dawn's not a fan. But I don't care! Gim muff.
• There's a theme - I enjoy themes. At Edna's the theme is pug dogs. Like most people with a human heart, I find pug dogs to be insanely cute. There are tons of pictures and paintings and statuettes and such of pug dogs all over Edna's. So CUTE!!!
• Almost everything comes in a bowl - Get it? Like a dog bowl! I would normally HAAATE this, and be all like, "A muffin in a bowl?!? No. Dumb." But since it ties in with the pug dog theme, and I find pug dogs to be so insanely cute, I can't help but smile when I tuck into my bowl o' muffin.
"Woof woof! I'm a little pug dog too!"
• It's bright and roomy, and I like the decor – There are floor-to-ceiling windows on two sides and it's one big, airy room with regular, hi-top, and coffee table seating. There's even a couch.
• There's also outdoor seating – It's slightly blazingly hot out there when the sun is touchin' on ya, but still, ya gotta love outdoor seating!
Here's something that I don't like about Edna's
• At least the last time I was there, they were still allowing cigarette smoking in the outdoor seating area. So GROSS!
I fucking hate that. A lot.
Part of the fucking point of outdoor seating is to enjoy the outdoors, right? Things like sunshine, warm breezes, and, oh I dunno… FRESH AIR?!?
How can I enjoy the outdoors when some fucknut in the corner is producing toxic fumes that are wafting my way? Why don't you just dump some coal ash on me while you're at it?
What's up with smokers anyways? Haven't they heard the news about smoking? It smells bad.
WORLD COFFEE CAFE – Battery Park Ave, Downtown Asheville
Speaking of smoking in outdoor areas at cafes… holy shit. I love New World, but it is one of the last human ashtrays in Downtown A-ville, and I fucking HATE that you have to walk through a cloud of smoke to get in the front door. The outdoor seating is totally ruined by the fact that EVERYONE is smoking. Ugh!!!
So, what do I love about World Coffee? (More bullet points!!!)
• They have coffee. I love that about them.
• They stay open late. Late night coffee? I love that too!
• The last time I checked, you get two free refills. Yeah, Man!!!
• The indoor seating is good, especially the two window tables that I gave a Stoobie award to last year for "Best People-Watching" in A-town.
• The staff is friendly, professional, and attractive. They come and they go, but the service has been consistently good over the course of the many years I've been going there.
• They get slammed from time-to-time, so the line can be long, but fear not: They've got their system down. You'll get your coffee.
• The atmosphere is good. I like the decor, which is in a sort of hippie / world-traveler motif.
• The music is interesting enough, in keeping with the decor, and at a good volume.
• It smells like a 1970's head shop in there for some reason. I love that smell.
• The sweets are good, especially the chocolate-chocolate-chip muffin.
• They'll heat-up any sweet for you in a convection oven. Fuck microwave ovens, Man. Convection. Way better.
• They'll usually throw a dollop of real whip cream on the plate for ya too.
• The savory food menu is decent.
I won't lie to ya. I don't get all jazzed-up about the savory food at The World, but when I do eat it, I always enjoy it. Let's just say that everything I've ordered there was well-made, had quality ingredients, and tasted good. You know what? I'm getting kinda jazzed-up all of a sudden! It's actually pretty good! Sandwiches and what-not, in a kind of European vein. Okay, now I'm saying that the savory food is pretty dang good.
There you go! Hold your breath on your way through the smoke cloud, and inside you'll find one of Downtown's mainstay cafes, with good coffee, good sweets, and good food for all.
TRUE CONFECTIONS – Page Avenue, Downtown
Okay, I actually do know Carol, the owner of True Confecs — just from going in there so many times over the years — and I'd say, yes, we're friends. It's not like we hang out 'n' shit, but I like Carol and she likes me. We're both all smiles when we see each other.
I don't think that should preclude me from telling you this:
Carol makes a home-made "Twix" bar that's so fucking good you'll wanna die, and then rise from your grave, so you can eat more of Carol's home-made Twix bars, then die again, rise again, die, rise, die, etcetera etcetera infinity forever.
That Twix bar is my current fave new afternoon treat in Asheville, and all of Carol's sweets are fuckin' aye good, Yo! (Sorry, Carol, I know you don't like the swearing!) Her pies are particularly awesome, and everything she bakes is very well made from quality ingredients, with care, skill, and excellent technique.
Here's some bullet-pointed highlights of True Confections: (Gawd, I'm really bullet-pointing it up this week.)
• Along with the regular-sized snacks, she offers very tasty small things for $1 or less. I get her rugelach and/or shortbread on the regs to go with my afternoon coffee. It's just the perfect little bit of sugar to keep me from loosing my mind, but not so much food as to make me overly stuffed with sweets in the middle of the day.
• When you order coffee, she hands you a cup, and you pour your own from the carafes on the counter. I like that because it gives me more control over my life, and the option to go for decaf without having to bare the weight of judgment from some barista or fellow customer. Yes: I drink decaf sometimes. So fucking shoot me.
• Outdoor seating: No Smoking. YAAAAYYY!!! Thank you, Carol.
• Nobody cool ever goes there. That whole part of downtown is like a no-hipster zone for some reason, and I fucking love it. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a hipster hater — they're adorable with their cute little trucker hats, hideous sneakers, and super-tight short-sleeve plaid shirts — but sometimes… I dunno… I guess I just wanna hang out with the squares. The real squares. Oldsters. Tourists. Rich people. People who dress like dorks, but not on purpose. I sometimes find the out-crowd far less aggravating to my misanthropy than the in-crowd.
Carol also serves savory food, like sandwiches, soups, quiche and what-not, and it's likewise good and made from quality ingreeds.
True Confections is an affordable and pleasant place to grab a bite, rest for a bit, and do some people-watching of a different kind. Not as much freakish Asheville "street life" to gawk at, but there's a steady stream of MILFs, office workers, and people walking their small, amusing dogs.
Oh, and AS ALWAYS: When I say "shoot me?" That is an expression. Do not, under any circumstances, for the love of God, shoot me.
FIGCOCO – Formerly everywhere, now seemingly nowhere.
I love me a good cheese plate! Fresh fruit, nuts, high-end cheese 'n' crackers, and a delicious spread.
Figs go good on a cheese plate, and so does chocolate. Combine them into one delicious spread, and holy fuckamoly… yeah, Man. That's good shit.
It was called Figcoco, and I loved it.
We all loved it.
"We" meaning me and every single other person on Earth who ever put even one molecule of this deliciousness anywhere near their mouth hole. It was GOOOD. Let me tell you what.
It was sweet, but not too sweet. There was no added sugar or high fructose corn bullshit. It was basically a thick, dark brown paste made out of figs and cocoa powder. Nothing else. Simple, even kinda healthy in it's own way. The cocoa wasn't overbearing, and the figs weren't cloying like figs can tend to be. It wasn't anything like Nutella, or that horrible jelly stuff they've got over there in the jelly section. This was high end eats at about $7 for an 8 oz jar, if I recall.
I used to get it all the time from Greenlife and Earthfare, where it was appropriately kept in the cheese section. Right next to the plain ol' Fig Spread and The Sour Cherry Spread, you'd find the Figcoco. I friggin' loved that name too. I was coo-coo for Figcoco!
I write in the past tense because I haven't seen it anywhere for months and months now.
At first I was like, "Oh, they's just out of it." But then I started to feel like it was never coming back, and now, in my mind, it's a thing of the past.
Like, "Remember when there used to be polar bears, honey bees, and Figcoco?"
"No, Grandpa, you're boring."
Now I haz a sad.
I do like Sour Cherry Spread, and I totally recommend it with any cheese plate you might throw together, but the plain old Fig Spread can go fuck itself. Booo! You're not FIGCOCO!!! Impostor.
The jar of spread that I currently have in my fridge is called "Braswell's Select All Natural Chocolate Tart Cherry Preserve."
Well la-dee-fuckin'-da.
It's the closest thing I've been able to find to Figcoco, and it is pretty good. A little too sweet though, and not enough of the chocolate flavor comes through, but it did come packaged in "European Glassware," which is hilarious to me. When I'm done with the spread, I'll have the world's fanciest jelly-jar juice glass. I'm pretty sure I had one with Elmer Fudd on it when I was a kid.
Anyhoo, yeah, I just reviewed a ghost-food that no longer seems to be available in Asheville. Sorry about that. If you have any leads on where I can find Figcoco, please let me know!!!
FLAVORED CONDOMS - Anywhere
Banana, chocolate, coconut, strawberry, and vanilla are ice cream flavors.
So gross.
ONE LAST THING – The Food Critic Facebook Page
If you wanna have a vicarious drool-fest, please go to my Facebook page.
Click "photos" and then "albums."
There's starting to be an awesome collection of pictures of food over there, and I've started categorizing them by venue.
Oh, and thanks for the positive feedback, everyone! Even my waiter from Wicked Weed came up to me in City Bakes the other day and was soops friendly! Yay!!!

So we are just 3 weeks away from music's biggest night, (or as I call it, the Superbowl of music) the Grammy Awards!!! To be honest I used to get a lot more excited about them, until they started to try and appeal to a younger audience. This aim to reach out to a younger audience has led to a lot more, less "talented" and less experimental/original artists winning. The Grammys problem is they either go to too old and obscure with their winners or too young and Pop-py (as of late). For instance, I have nothing against Taylor Swift. I like her quite a bit actually, but her winning Grammy for Album of the Year in 2010 for "Fearless" was a little premature. She just hasn't matured enough as an artist yet, to have earned a Grammy for Album of the Year. As matter of fact her follow up album "Speak Now" was a much better and more consistent album of ever better crafted songs, but she of course didn't win for her better album or even get nominate for it, she won for her more popular album and that's just not right. The Grammys aren't supposed to be about popularity, it's supposed to be about the quality of the music. For whatever reason it seems like the Grammys are sticking to this new "younger" format, which is evident in the nominations for Album of the Year, as well as other categories in the past 3 years.
The 2010 nominees for Album of the Year were as follows:
Taylor Swift – Fearless (Winner)
Beyonce – I Am… Sasha Fierce
The Black Eyed Peas – The E.N.D.
Lady Gaga – The Fame
Dave Matthews Band – Big Whiskey & the GrooGrux King (the exception here)
The 2011 nominees were as follows:
Arcade Fire – The Suburbs (Winner)
Eminem – Recovery
Lady Antebellum – Need You Now
Lady Gaga – The Fame Monster (just a deluxe version of The Fame with a handful of added songs, that was nominated the year before and lost, but for whatever reason was nominated again)
Katy Perry – Teenage Dream (really Grammys? really?)
And this year's nominees are as follows:
Adele – 21 (I'm putting my bets on this album to win. Yes it's popular, but it's also quality music.)
Foo Fighters – Wasting Light
Lady Gaga – Born This Way (she will lose again, as she did for the same album two years in a row)
Bruno Mars – Doo Wops And Hooligans
Rihanna – Loud
Whoever wins, wether it's a deserving artist or not, there are always great albums that get neglected each year, but I guess that's just the nature of the politics involved within the academy. One thing you can always be sure of with the Grammys is that they always put on an impeccable show, with great and inspired performances by such a wide range of musicians. So far they have announce that Paul McCartney and Coldplay along with Rihanna will perform and "Rumor Has It" that Adele may make her first singing appearance since her throat surgery, that put the temporary breaks on her skyrocketing career. There has not been any more mention of her performing, but I think the big surprise of the night will be her coming out to sing. I think this is especially likely seeing as I'm pretty sure she will walk away with Album of the Year.
Before I conclude this post I would like to make my prediction for Best New Artist. I am almost always spot on with calling the winner in this category.
The nominees for Best New Artist are as follows:
The Band Perry
Bon Iver
J. Cole
Nicki Minaj
I'm going to place my best on Bon Iver winning. We shall see in a few weeks.
Who do you think will win Album of the Year?
Who do you think will win Best New Artist?

Mötley Crüe Announces Release Date for 'The Dirt' Biopic
By Andrew Magnotta
December 3, 2018
The Mötley Crüe biopic The Dirt will finally be released on Netflix March 22, 2019.
Crüe front man Vince Neil revealed the news after screening the long-awaited film Sunday afternoon.
"Wow!!! Just left Netflix offices," Neil extolled via Twitter Sunday. "Just saw 'The Dirt' movie!! F---in awesome!! Can't wait for everyone to see it! Released March 22!!"
Neil has been Mötley Crüe fans source for all the big recent revelations about the band's status.
When the Internet was abuzz late this past summer after photos surfaced of bassist Nikki Sixx and drummer Tommy Lee in the studio with producer Bob Rock, it was Neil who revealed to fans that the band was recording four new songs.
The singer also assured fans that the band has no plans to perform again. But he says they had a great time making music together again.
Sixx later confirmed that the new music was indeed for The Dirt, which has been in the works for years.

From Gaza With Love and Donald McIntyre
From Dr. Mona:
Monday, March 03, 2008
The aftermath -Gaza today
3rd of march 2008
Here is the outcome of the Israeli military operation against Gaza ,
117 killed
350 and more injured.
These numbers are preliminary, as the emergency teams were only allowed to evacuate tens of injured and some dead this morning, some who were lying in the citrus orchards of Jabalia town , east of Gaza city. The majority of the dead and injured are civilians, many suffered serious injuries. In some cases the casualties were of the same family and many children were killed .
2nd of March -
Al-Awda Hospital -
Jabalia Refugee Camp
69 injured arrived at the hospital , in one day (saturday 1-3 2008 ). These mass casualties are more than the capacity of the hospital's beds and two operating theatres. Many of the injured were laid on the floor because there weren't enough beds. Many had to be referred to the Shifa hospital (Gaza's central and largest hospital). The injuries were varied: abdomen , chest, head injuries, many children , and mutilated bodies !!!!!!!!!
The Palestinian Red crescent (PRC) ambulances used Al-Awda as a temporary base (makeshift point ). The Israeli forces ordered the PRC to LEAVE ITS HEADQUARTERS IN JABALIA , because it was close to the operation !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
While i was at Al-Awda hospital , the Apache helicopter gunships were in the sky firing and shooting against the resistance men. I heard the sound of many shellings and bombings, it was all too loud.
Many volunteers arrived at the hospital , to give a hand to the stretched hospital staff. The ambulance drivers were extremely exhausted; everyone was worried about the shortage of fuel. The hospital director was very busy in the operation theater. I met many injured children on the hospital beds.
Dr. Mahmoud my friend and his family -
Salah Eddin street -
Jabalia town
In the past three days of the military operation against Gaza, Jabalia Mahmoud and his family were unable to leave home, which is in an area that had become a battlefield.
Two of his grandchildren were ill and in need of medications. Mahmoud himself suffers from kidney problems and has had a kidney transplant. He was in need of treatment and medications at the hospital. I tried several times to coordinate with the International Committee for Red Cross (ICRC) to evacuate the family to safer place , and could not. I felt helpless while I was in contact with them by phone. Later on when the shooting was so severe I lost contact, they were all on the floor, seeking refuge in the safest place of the home. The power was off and the mobiles were not charged , Mahmoud has three granchildren and four children!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't know if I am conveying the ordeal we face while living in Gaza under occupation (despite appearances Gaza is still occupied, Israel controls all the borders and the seas and does what it pleases in Gaza). This is one of many stories , I thought I would like to share it with you.
I share with you how our children suffer: first because of the seige, second because of the direct attacks and thirdly because of the poverty and lack of normal life, lack of better chances of living.
A total of 117 Palestinians were killed
17 children
19 women
36 men
47 resistance men
The total number of injured were 350.
It is a disproportional open war , and excessive use of military power by Israel. Our civilians pay the price .
Just to remind you wherever there is occupation , this colonial racist occupation
the resistance will continue , my share is civil resistance , but I do not blame others of their choice of resistance IT IS THE OCCUPATION THAT SHOULD BE BLAMED
from Gaza i send all my love
And a part of Donald McIntyre's story for the Independent:
In Gaza, medical officials said a 21-month-old Palestinian girl, two other civilians and three militants were killed yesterday. The Israeli military said four soldiers had been hurt and two Israeli civilians were slightly injured after 21 rockets were launched by militants, including three longer range Katyushas, one of which directly hit a house in Ashkelon.
Among those buried yesterday were six members of one family including its head, Abd el-Rahman Mohammad Ali Atallah, and his 60-year-old wife, Suad, two sons and two daughters, who were killed late on Saturday afternoon when their house was destroyed by three aerial bombs which residents near by said also injured four children including a two-day-old infant. The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights, which documents all Palestinian deaths, and is opposed to all attacks on non-combatants including in Israel, said 49 of the dead since Wednesday were civilians.
As thousands of Gazans streamed on foot through streets abnormally empty of cars because of severe fuel shortages to and from near-continuous funerals in Beit Lahiya and Gaza City's Sheikh Radwan cemetery, Fatima Abed Rabbo, 23, told how she was shot in the left shoulder as she stood by her one-year-old daughter, Doha, at her home in Jabalya during the bloody first hour of the Israeli incursion shortly after midnight on Saturday.
Lying on her bed at the Kamal Odwan hospital, where the first 40 dead victims of the assault were brought on Saturday morning, Mrs Abed Rabbo said the shot had come through the door of her balcony at about the same time as her friends and neighbours Jaqueline and Eyad Abu Shbak, a teenage brother and his sister, were killed in their home.
She said Jaqueline, 16, who she said had been hit by shrapnel after an Israeli missile hit a parked car outside the home, was an especially good student in the science department of her high school. Eyad, 14, who was struck by a bullet, had just started high school.
"They were excellent people," she said. "Our family and theirs were always in and out of each other's houses. Two ambulances came at the same time to take us away. They were dead and I was alive."
Mrs Abed Rabbo was close to tears how she described how she was still breastfeeding Doha but had had no contact with her or her two-and-half-year-old son, Anas, both of whom were being cared for by relatives, since being taken to hospital because of the military closure of the area after the incursion. "The phones are not working and my husband who came with me in the ambulance has not been able to get back." A spokesman for the Red Cross confirmed yesterday evening that Palestinian ambulances were still unable to reach parts of the area of the incursion to pick up injured persons.

Strange would be to put it simply.
I know, having been here before and having experienced these feelings and gone through these steps, almost exactly what is going on. Reducing urges and emotions into physical terms and chemical reactions seems like mechanising the workings of the soul, but I've trod this path before, I know what's going on, what's coming next, and that it's only a passing phase. Like all things, it will come and go. Convincing myself of this in the midst of these feelings however is a more difficult task.
Panic, fear, desperation, anxiety. All of these things manifest themselves in my mind, pulling my thoughts this way and that, confusing me and dragging me down into a dark corner, making me believe that it is just best to hide there and hope that it all just goes away, but for somewhere in the back of my mind the recollection that this is not new to me, and that I can not hide from it, let alone finish it that way.
The things that I am thinking are simply not real. These problems are not as monumental as they may seem and the measure between myself and resolution is not the abyss that it appears. I am fighting against a strawman. Block it out, move on, draw against it and keep kicking and hacking away. All you have to do is last it out.
How can you deny your senses?
Because there is simply no other way.

This is a new brunch favorite of mine any day of the week. It is eggs baked over a vegetable stew in a skillet however this is a earthy green version minus the tomatoes. Another great addition is spicy sausage if you are so inclined. Enjoy!
- 3 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 diced onion
- 2 diced green bell peppers
- 1 seeded and diced jalapeno pepper
- 3 minced cloves of garlic
- 1 pound of diced Yukon Gold potatoes
- 1 tablespoon diced fresh thyme leaves
- salt and pepper
- 1 1/2 cups chicken or vegetable stock
- 1 bunch of diced broccoli rabe
- 1/2 teaspoon red chile flakes
- 4-6 eggs
- 6 tablespoons of shredded Parmesan cheese
Step 1: Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a heavy 12- to 14-inch skillet; cast iron is best. Add onions, bell peppers and jalapeños and sauté on medium about 10 minutes until vegetables are tender and starting to color. Stir in garlic, cook for a minute or two, then stir in potatoes. Reduce heat a bit and sauté another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper and add thyme.
Step 2: Add broth and cook on medium-low until much of it has evaporated and potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Add broccoli rabe. Cook, stirring occasionally until broccoli rabe has wilted, softened and reduced. Fold in chile flakes and season with more salt and pepper if needed. Turn off heat. Smooth top of vegetables and use the back of a soup spoon to make 4 or 6 evenly spaced shallow depressions in the mixture.
Step 3: Light broiler and adjust a rack fairly close to the heat. Just before serving, break an egg into each of the depressions in the vegetables. Place skillet under the broiler until whites are set and yolks are still runny (they'll wiggle if gently touched), 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Dust each egg with cheese and enjoy!

Three candidates are sitting MPs – Conservatives Dr Sarah Wollaston, Dr Liam Fox and Dr Phillip Lee.
That trio look the most likely of the 2015 batch of GP candidates to find themselves sitting in the House of Commons after the 7 May election.
A handful of others are in marginal seats, but it would take an electoral earthquake for the likes of Lewisham GP and National Health Action party candidate Dr Louise Irvine to oust health secretary Jeremy Hunt from his safe Surrey seat.
GP voting intentions
Perhaps unsurprisingly given a GP voting intentions poll (GP, 20 March) showing the Conservatives remain the party winning most support from the profession, that is the party with most GP candidates.
The Liberal Democrats are the only main party with no GP candidates.

ASUS also had a pretty busy week here at CES 2016. Announcing a slew of products, and one of those was the ZenBeam, which is a USB projector that can project your Android or Windows device onto a wall. So you can plug your smartphone into the projector using your existing micro USB or USB Type-C to USB Type-A cable to the project and have it projected on the wall. It's pretty awesome, especially considering you can play movies from your phone onto the wall in your home. You can also plug it into your Windows laptop or desktop and project media and such as well. It's a neat idea, and a product that more and more companies are getting into lately.
The Zenbeam can output a projection between 22-inches and 80-inches. So it's great for showing a movie to a group of people, as they'll all be able to see the movie that's being projected. It also uses a 150-lumen light bulb, so it'll get nice and bright as well. We were able to go hands on with the ASUS ZenBeam at CES 2016 this week, and were pretty interested in this small projector, it's pretty sweet but doesn't have a release date just yet.

Special Education
At Harvest Park, we have a wide variety of programs to meet the needs of every child. For students who have already been identified, the Individualized Educational Planning (IEP) team determines the appropriate placement, services, accomodations and modifications for middle school. Parents work closely, and collaboratively with our special education teachers, who also serve as the child's case manager. The case manager sets up the annual IEP meeting and any necessary assessments for a Triennial review.
Our current available special education services include: Resource courses in Math and Language Arts in grades 6-8, Speech and Language Therapy (SLP), behavior support, Adaptive Physical Education (APE) services and other services as included in each child's Individualized Education Plan (IEP).
If your child is struggling in school and you suspect he/she has a potential disability that meets upon one of the thirteen disability categories, then please contact our counseling department to set up an initial Student Study Team (SST) meeting. Our counselors will set up a meeting that includes your child's current teachers, administrator and of course the school counselor! During this meeting we will discuss your child's academic strengths, challenges and next steps. We will set up an action plan that includes interventions, and put these interventions into effect for the next 6-8 weeks. After that time, if improvement has not been made, then we will likely hold a second SST meeting, and invite our special education specialist and/or school psychologist to the meeting.
If the team believes an assessment for special education services is appropriate, then we will draft an assessment plan. The assessment plan will include assessment pieces for all areas of suspected disability. This assessment typically includes academic and psychological assessments, and occasionally assessments in the areas of speech and language, or other areas. By law, the team has 60 calendar days to complete the assessment once the assessment plan has been signed by the parents/guardians. Once the assessment is complete, the team will reconvene to go over the results and discuss appropriate services given the new information.
If a student's eligibility for Special Education services is established, then learning goals and objectives are determined. Lastly, placement options are reviewed to determine the appropriate type of level of service. Students of any disability may be served in any placement option. However, students classified as speech impaired are most often enrolled in the Speech and Language program. Students who are determined to have a specific learning disability are often enrolled in the Resource Specialist Program (RSP), and students with other learning disabilities may range from receiving services in a Resource Program to a mild to moderate Special Day Class, to a Developmentally Delayed Special Day class.
Our school district is also part of the Tri-Valley Selpa. Please see the district web site, as well as the Tri-Valley Selpa Site for more information about our special education programs.

Yamaha India to shift its focus to the premium-bike, scooter segment
Yamaha motor is a Japanese manufacturer of motorcycle, marine products such as boats and outboard motors, and other motorized products. In India, it is mainly selling two-wheelers with well-segregated product line but the main focus was middle-class society and now it is shifting its focus to the premium bike segment to target the other segments available in the market.
Yamaha has struggled in the 100-125cc segment in past few years as the market is shifting towards heavy and sporty bikes.
Yamaha is looking to create new sub-segment in the Indian market as this is the world's largest and growing market.
They are going to bring bigger displacement engines and scooter and might use India as a base for exports.
As the future motorcycle line-up does not have the major 100-125cc offering, Yamaha is looking to bring the upgrade version of existing model and followed up with bigger displacement motorcycle of about 300-400cc by 2020.
Hiroyuki Yanagi (Global President of Yamaha) mentioned that they have an aggressive plan for India saying that Yamaha's focus is on demographic segmentation before attempting its hands again at the mass market.
