1. An appraisal isn't an exact science
All home appraisals are not created equally. When appraisers evaluate a home's value, they're giving their best opinion based on how the home's features stack up against those of similar homes recently sold nearby. One appraiser may factor in a recent sale, but another may consider that sale too long ago, or the home too different, or too far away to be a fair comparison. The result can be differences in the values two separate appraisers set for your home.
2. Appraisals have different purposes
If the appraisal is being used by a lender giving a loan on the home, the appraised value will be the lower of market value (what it would sell for on the open market today) and the price you paid for the house if you recently bought it.
An appraisal being used to figure out how much to insure your home for or to determine your property taxes may rely on other factors and arrive at different values. For example, though an appraisal for a home loan evaluates today's market value, an appraisal for insurance purposes calculates what it would cost to rebuild your home at today's building material and labor rates, which can result in two different numbers.
Appraisals are also different from CMAs, or competitive market analyses. In a CMA, a real estate agent relies on market expertise to estimate how much your home will sell for in a specific time period. The price your home will sell for in 30 days may be different than the price your home will sell for in 120 days. Because real estate agents don't follow the rules appraisers do, there can be variations between CMAs and appraisals on the same home.
3. An appraisal is a snapshot
Home prices shift, and appraised values will shift with those market changes. Your home may be appraised at $150,000 today, but in two months when you refinance or list it for sale, the appraised value could be lower or higher depending on how your market has performed.
4. Appraisals don't factor in your personal issues
You may have a reason you must sell immediately, such as a job loss or transfer, which can affect the amount of money you'll accept to complete the transaction in your time frame. An appraisal doesn't consider those personal factors.
5. You can ask for a second opinion
If your home appraisal comes back at a value you believe is too low, you can request that a second appraisal be performed by a different appraiser. You, or potential buyers, if they've requested the appraisal, will have to pay for the second appraisal. But it may be worth it to keep the sale from collapsing from a faulty appraisal. On the other hand, the appraisal may be accurate, and it may be a sign that you need to adjust your pricing or the size of the loan you're refinancing.
G.M. Filisko is an attorney and award-winning writer who's had more than 10 appraisals performed on her properties in the past 20 years. A frequent contributor to many national publications including Bankrate.com, REALTOR® Magazine, and the American Bar Association Journal, she specializes in real estate, business, personal finance, and legal topics.

Wow! What an impressive list! I've been really into trying different foods--especially with vegetables--so I will definitely have to try one (if not more since there are so many) of these recipes.
Eggplant can be a frugal staple of many delicious dishes, especially when in season. You can easily grow it in most gardens nationwide, and one plant can yield dozens of the purple-skinned beauties.
Most gardeners and gourmet shoppers can soon run out of ideas for the versatile aubergine, however. If that's you, consider these dozen-plus-two affordable dishes you can create from the abundant and adorable eggplant. (See also: 25+ Delicious, Healthy, and Cheap Bean Recipes)
The number one dish most people make with the eggplant, it's prepared many ways for a variation in flavor, fat, and calories. Since eggplant is in season when most kitchens are already very hot, I recommend this stove-top version of the dish from Scordo.com.
If you happen to have any leftover eggplant parm, you can put it to good use as filling for a toasted sub roll. Add extra cheese and fresh spinach for something similar to a chain shop but much tastier and healthier, of course!
This dish may be one of the most affordable meals you can throw together during eggplant season (especially if you can pick all the veggies and fruits from your garden). This slow-cooker Ratatouille recipe is simple and cooks itself while you're at work!
While the skill factor is high in this ricotta-filled dish, the results are nothing but breathtaking. This recipe from Alexandria's Kitchen includes step-by-step photos to help you along, and by using your own tomato sauce, you'll save a little extra on your grocery bill.
We all know that you can put everything on a pizza, so this tasty Mediterranean-inspired pizza dish just makes sense. Save more money by making your own crust; add even more veggies for a variation in textures.
It's amazing how you can turn grilled eggplant into a creamy, dreamy dip for pitas, chips, and veggies! This recipe from Paula Deen would make a tasty dish for any party or appetizer occasion.
You won't fool anyone into thinking they are beef, but eggplant burgers can be a filling alternative for those who want a break from meat. Commercial food services have perfected the burger and sell them in frozen form; you can create your own grilled eggplant patties to throw on the grill for much less.
The internet is full of recipes for eggplant meatballs, but the variations are wild from one to the next. How you desire your eggplant (chopped, ground, or thick and chunky) and your preference of seasoning will determine what recipe you go with. This eggplant ball recipe is light, mildly-seasoned, and perfect for dipping in a marinara sauce.
While most eggplant soups and stews are made with a tomato-based sauce, there are a number of ways to serve it. I am personally a fan of pasta and think that this eggplant raviolini soup is something that even my kids would try. Served with a nice crusty focaccia, you have an affordable meal that can really fill you up!
I ate this dish growing up, and I still enjoy it. It is prepared most easily by slicing the eggplant, dipping it in an egg wash, breading it in a mixture of seasoned breadcrumbs and flour, and frying it in some hot oil. Be sure to salt it well after cooking, and eat it before it cools. I love it by itself, but the kids adore it with ketchup!
While the eggplant will need special treatment before layering into a dish, you can substitute the hearty fruit for standard lasagna noodles. For full instructions on sweating and blotting, I recommend this totally meat-free lasagna.
What is it about this kind of fancy, grilled bread that makes eating most any garden harvest tastier than usual? This simple recipe of grilled panini with eggplant and mozzarella has just a few ingredients and all the potential to become a summertime favorite! (See our picks for the best panini makers.)
This Greek dish can be prepared many ways, but this traditional Greek Moussaka recipe is true to the original. While it takes a bit of time to prepare, this delicious and hearty lamb and eggplant casserole is definitely worth the effort!
Most anything from the garden can (and should) be pickled, and eggplant is no exception. While the practice of pickling in olive oil isn't common to most kitchens, Scordo's Pickled Eggplant recipe has proven to be a staple in his home for generations.
For many gardeners, the eggplant will continue to come long after you've prepared and enjoyed every dish you can find. For those who can't give away their excess, you can always freeze the purple stuff for later.
What's your favorite way to eat eggplant?

Wow! What an impressive list! I've been really into trying different foods--especially with vegetables--so I will definitely have to try one (if not more since there are so many) of these recipes.
You left out one, baba ganoush...a middle eastern dish that is healthy and great tasting. I make it and snack for a light meal with some toasted pita bread. It will keep for a week in the fridge. It is sesame butter (crushed sesame seeds). fresh garlic, fresh lemon juice, and olive oil.

Domestic violence is issue in Wisconsin gun case
MILWAUKEE (AP) — A Cottage Grove man is fighting to get a concealed carry permit after the state denied him because he's been convicted of domestic violence.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports if 68-year-old Robert W. Evans Jr. prevails, it could clear the way for those with certain domestic violence convictions to legally carry hidden guns.
Citing the federal ban, Wisconsin's Department of Justice denied Evans a permit in 2012 because he was convicted in 2002 of domestic violence/disorderly conduct.
Evans appealed the denial to circuit court, arguing the offense isn't a misdemeanor crime of violence under federal law and he didn't have a domestic relationship with the victim under the federal definition.
A Dane County judge upheld the DOJ's decision. Evans has now taken the case to the Court of Appeals.

Digital Display
Synthetic biology is expected to design and construct new biological systems not found in the nature. This nascence field of science makes it possible to "build" living machines from off-the-shelf chemical ingredients, employing many of the same strategies that electrical engineers use to make computer chips[1].
By analogy with electric circuits, many synthetic circuits like toggle switch[2], oscillator and repressilator[3] have been constructed. XMU 2012iGEM team also intended to construct biological circuits based on electric ones. However, not like those basic parts, we concern more about a REAL MACHINE, just like the full name of iGEM. The genetic engineered machine we construct should function in a visualized manner. Yes, we intended to construct a biological display device.
Compared with electric display, biological display shows great advantages in many aspects: 1) Input signals: Unlike the only signal electrons in electric circuits, there are various types of input signals, making it possible to perform parallel computation; 2) Inspired by traditional logic gates in electric circuits, we assembled existed biological logic gates into synthetic circuits working as a genetic Seven-Segment Display. As shown in Figure 1, a seven-segment display requires seven elements to arrange. Individually on or off, they can be combined to produce simplified representations of the Arabic numerals. Traditional displays usually convert chemical or biological signals into electric signals as outputs. However in many other situations, especially in trace analysis of biological signals at microscale level, research has consistently shown that signal converting and transmission is still a tough problem.
Figure 1. A traditional electric seven-segment display
2. Basic principles of digital display:
In our project, we utilized tubes with different kinds of bacteria as seven segments. According to the theory of network design, genetic logic gates were assembled into circuits and then constructed using synthetic biology method. Based on the knowledge of bioinformatics and synthetic biology, there are only two results for a single logic gate: on or off. Here, instead of electric signals representing streams of binary ones and zeros, the chemical concentrations of specific DNA-binding proteins and inducer molecules act as the input and output signals of the genetic logic gates, i.e. present or absent of a specific signal molecule represents binary one or zero. The genetic circuits we constructed actually using Binary-Coded Decimal (or BCD, a device which converts the binary numerical value to decimal value) to compute signal molecules. To display two results (in this case, number one and zero) necessitates one kind of signal molecule, we called it a Single-input BCD Decoder (As shown in Table 1). The inducer is arabinose, which effect on promoter PBAD (an E.coli promoter, see more[4] ). In the absence of arabinose, cI regulated promoter(PcI) expresses GFP with LVA tag. In the presence of arabinose, PBAD starts transcription and then repressor CI protein is translated and represses PcI. The number of displaying results determines how many kinds of input signals we need, i.e. the kinds of inducers. More specifically, if there are N pairs of inducers and their corresponding regulators, we can get 2N kinds of results (As shown in Table 2).
3. Luminescent method: GFP with LVA tag
The device utilizes green fluorescent protein as luminescent source. The use of the fluorescence protein (GFP) from the jellyfish Aequorea Victoria is ubiquitous in the field of biological signal protein and become widely applied in situ monitoring and other researches. But traditional mutated GFP tends to be very stable, leading to a long degradation time, being unfavorable to the reuse of the device. A novel type of GFP solves the problem with its specific C-terminal oligopeptide extensions which can render stable proteins susceptible to degradation by protease. The project applies GFP with LVA tag, which is one of unstable types of GFP and presents fast degradation and relatively short half-life. Equipped this kind of GFP, the device could light up and die out in a fast speed, therefore becomes available to be repetitively used.
4. Circuit construction:
In order to display the number related to the environmental substances investigation, the device should contains different combinations of tandem and parallel logic gates. As mentioned in explanation of principles, input signals are inducer molecules, functioning as the switches of protein expression in circuit. Output of the circuit is GFP with LVA tag.
We assembled several pairs of promoters and their activators (or repressors) into computing blocks of the circuit: PBAD -Arabinose, PcI -CI, and Ptet -TetR. These computation units act as genetic logic gates perform AND, OR and NOT gate functions. Table 3 presents the design of device displaying, in a way which we called Dual-input BCD Decoder. Once the construction is completed, Engineered E.coli with different circuits can be immobilized into microcapsules and then be put in seven transparent tubes which acting as segment of display.
5. Results and analysis:
5.1 Optimization of the inducers concentrations
In order to achieve a better visual impact, first thing we concerned is to optimize conditions for the display device. Concentration of inducers is a crucial factor effecting on both fluorescent intensity and response time. Therefore, the first set of analysis examined the impact of the concentration of added additional inducers on circuit.
Part PBADGLT (Part:BBa_K750000, short for PBAD-rbs-gfp(LVA)-tt)
From Figure 2 we can see that fluorescent intensity increase with the concentration of arabinose increase. By comparison the three curves, we drew the conclusion that 1mM group shows the best fluorescent performance, for its significant up and down, high peak value and little fluctuations. The optimized concentration (1mM was applied in following experiments without additional explanations.
SDS-PAGE was also applied as another characterize method to verify the function of arabinose. As can be seen from Figure 3, the expression of GFP is significant at peak time(75 min after induction) and the degradation caused by unstable peptide tails also worked as desired. Fluorescence value of the same sample has also been analyzed and showed on the right, which presents a great correlation to the result got by SDS-PAGE.
Part PtetGLT (Part:BBa_K750114, short for Ptet-rbs-gfp(LVA)-tt)
Similarly, another experiment has been conducted to optimize the concentration of adding anhydrotetracycline(aTc). As can been seen in Figure 4, the result after inducing are both significant, which 70 ng/mL shows better properties for the device: fast response as well as fast degradation. Therefore, 70 ng/mL became the optimize concentration for the device, in spite of the higher peak value reached using 140 ng/mL.
Another thing worth to be mentioned is that one part in the Distribution Kit seem failing to work as expected. The trouble circuit is Part BBa_K145280, consisting of a TetR generator and a GFP with LVA tag under control of a TetR promoter. It is supposed to be able to response to the addition of (anhydro)tetracycline. However, almost no fluorescence can be observed or determined after the addition of aTc. At first, we suspected that aTc we use might be the cause for the problem, for its unsuitable concentration (140 ng/mL, as the designer mentioned on their wiki). But further experiment showed that all gradients of concentration also failed (250, 25, 0.25, 0.025 ng/mL). We even suspected that aTc itself might be ineffective due to inappropriate storage or preparation. Then we noticed that the strength of RBS in front of gfp is 0.3, a medium level, which may lead the low expression and finally counteracted by fast degradation. Consequently, we constructed a new circuit, changing the strength of RBS from 0.3 to 1.0 and successfully obtaining satisfying data as mentioned above.
5.2 Functional assay
Once obtained the optimized conditions, our next step is to confirm the function of circuits we constructed. Figure 5 presents the result obtained from fluorescent test on two circuits used in Single-input BCD Decoder. As can be seen from the graph, both two circuits function as expected. PcIGLT (Part:BBa_K750103, short for PcI-rbs-gfp(LVA)-tt) continually expresses GFP while PBADGLT (Part:BBa_K750000) shows a significant up-and-down after adding arabinose.
But when moving on to other more complicate circuits in Dual-input BCD Decoder, we encountered a thorny problem. Synthetic NOT gate in PBADcIT-PcIGLT (Part:BBa_K750113, short for PBAD-rbs-cI-tt-PcI-rbs-gfp(LVA)-tt) and PtetcIT-PcIGLT (Part:BBa_K750114, short for Ptet-rbs-cI-tt-PcI-rbs-gfp(LVA)-tt) failed to function, which is supposed to express GFP without any inducer. However, no fluorescence can be observed or detected. This result may be explained by the possible leakage of expression of CI repressor protein. In order to verify our suspicion, we performed SDS-PAGE to detect the existent of CI protein. We use the front parts of the circuit as new parts, i.e. PBADcIT (Part:BBa_K750104, short for PBAD-rbs-cI-TT)
But we got no result from the SDS-PAGE, it is possible to hypothesize that the SDS-PAGE is not so sensitive to detect the low concentration of CI protein, since we have no time to transfer the strain from DH5α to BL21. We did further experiment using an additional group of another part with lower strength of RBS: PBADcIT-0.07 (Part:BBa_K750107 , short for PBAD-rbs0.07-cI-tt). The aim of constructing this new part is to reduce the hypothetic leakage of CI expression. If succeed in this function, the new part could then be assembled with the downstream part, functioning as genetic circuits mentioned before. Additionally, the experiment conducted on strains that had been transferred into BL21 earlier, to prevent the low expression level due to the defection of DH5α. By comparing BL21 group and the group shown in Figure 6, no leakage of CI protein can be observed, though changes in the strength of RBS are effective.
Another assumption is that the design of circuits might be unstable in E.coli, causing the totally failure of the function. Due to intrinsic uncertainties and extrinsic disturbance, this situation reported happening lot of times, much more than one can expect. To examine the circuit, a similar circuit has been constructed, where cI gene was changed into gfp gene at the downstream of PBAD. As shown in Figure 7, PcI is working and expresses GFP in the group without arabinose. For another group, after addition of arabinose, PBAD is activated and GFP in its downstream therefore start expression, resulting in a higher peak value of fluorescence. From the data, we got a preliminary result that the circuit is able to work, though without consideration about the individual difference. However the conclusion is too early to be drawn, further researches are badly needed. We intend to exchange the position of two subparts (i.e. PcIGLT-PBADcIT instead of PBADcIT-PcIGLT), but due to time limitation, this intension can only be placed in our future plan.
For our current achievement, we have great ambitions to construct Multi-input BCD Decoder and widely applied in many fields. See more on our future plan page.
To solve the problem we encountered this summer, more research works are badly needed. As David Sprinzak and Michael B. Elowitz mentioned at the beginning of their paper [5], to answer fundamental questions about existed circuits, one could design and build new circuits using similar components. The main goal of this nascent field of synthetic biology is to design and to construct biological systems and study their dynamics in organism[6].

This Turkey Day, if you're searching your shelves or mp3 player for some appropriate music, then look no further. This morning, as I was preparing to seize the Thanksgiving Day, I began thinking about songs that I would like to hear throughout the day. After some brainstorming of relevant topics and themes, and a great deal of musical exploration via my iTunes, I came up with the following list.
As you read through the list, you'll notice the dual take on thanksgiving — the first set of songs are positive songs of "thanks," while the second segment is devoted to more sarcastic takes on the sentiment. Then come the songs about pilgrims and Native Americans, followed by tracks about food — what else? Top it all off with a final set of songs about the family and Marcy Playground's "Thank You," and you've got yourself a Thanksgiving day playlist!
1) "Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Again)" -Sly & The Family Stone
2) "Thank You Girl" – The Beatles
3) "Photo (The Thanksgiving Song)" – Mike Fusco
4) "The Thanks I Get" – Wilco
5) "Thank You for Sharing" – The Vanity Project
6) "You To Thank" – Ben Folds
7) "Thanks a Lot" – Third Eye Blind
8) "Pilgrimage" – R.E.M.

SEATTLE — A federal judge in Seattle has ordered the U.S. Forest Service to pay more than $70,000 in fees to two Oregon lawyers. The lawyers won a case requiring the service to remove a historic fire lookout from a peak in Washington's Glacier Peak Wilderness Area.
Attorneys Peter M.K. Frost and John R. Mellgren sued on behalf of Montana-based Wilderness Watch. The group objected to the fact that the lookout was rebuilt in 2009 with the aid of a helicopter — in violation of federal law governing wilderness areas.
Senior U.S. District Judge John Coughenour has already ordered the Forest Service to remove the lookout. But Washington's congressional delegation is pushing legislation to keep the structure in place. The building is a popular hiking destination.
Seattlepi.com reports that the judge found Wilderness Watch was entitled to have its legal fees reimbursed as the winning party in the lawsuit.

Each week throws off several new video game lists ranging from the humorous to the trivial. What's better? A list of those. Here's a roundup of the rundowns out there.
•Ten Greatest Train Levels [Megabits of Gaming] It's more than just a staple of westerns (though I was disappointed not to see Red Dead Revolver on here). This list examines the times when its fun for your action game to be on rails.
•Top 10 Characters You Want As Your Head Of Security [Wiki Game Guides] Interesting choice of topic here; the list includes Professor Layton, Duke Nukem and Private Ramirez from Modern Warfare 2. Surprised not to see Agent 47, but I guess he's a lone operative and not much of a delegator. His methods are a little heavy-handed, too.
•Ten Most Depressing Deaths in Video Games [Gaming Bolt] Not "shocking," just "depressing." I was deeply moved by one of the endings to Fallout 3 but I don't know that I'd call it depressing. It's not on this list, but a lot of well-known thought-provoking demises are.
•Top 10 Greatest Football Games of All Time [Planet Xbox 360] Here's one I can argue about. I'd go with NCAA 12 over 11 although for comprehensive quality in its time, NCAA Football 2004 was still the best. Madden NFL 2004 is likewise the best version of that series. College Football USA 96 should be here instead of Madden '96. I'd have put Tecmo Bowl as well as Tecmo Super Bowl on this list. Mutant League Football needs to be here, too. NFL 2K4 was better than 2K1 and both are overshadowed, of course, by 2K5.
•Top Ten Non-First-Person Shooters [GamePro] That title doesn't mean "third-person shooter," it means "a game played in first person perspective that's about more than shooting." Maybe they should have said "first-person non-shooters?" My head hurts. Deus Ex: Human Revolution is the inspiration for this roundup, which includes a game that rhymes with "Schmortal."

A New Kind of Pharmacist
Ross Valley Pharmacy, tucked away inside a larger building of clinics, is not a big place, but it's very very busy. Its owner, Paul Lofholm, PharmD, has a vision of the pharmacist's role that goes far beyond simply putting pills in bottles. He sees pharmacists as integral members of the healthcare team who can fill the gaps in patients' education about their conditions and their medications.
Dr. Lofholm initially saw the need for a diabetes education program after a friend's son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. After helping his friend deal with that crisis, says Dr. Lofholm, "I looked around and said, 'Well, what do we have in this county, Marin County, to help diabetes patients?' I found out that we really didn't have anything." To fill that gap, he developed a Medicare-certified diabetes education program run by a certified diabetes educator. It took time to fulfill the ADA requirements necessary for Medicare certification, but the program is now in its third cycle of accreditation, and Ross Valley Pharmacy offers classes several times a year.
Dr. Lofholm notes that only eight percent of diabetics go to endocrinologists; all the rest are monitored by internists or, in some cases, pediatricians. He says, "They do not have the staff to do the education, so it doesn't really get done. That's why the specialized courses have been successful, frankly, teaching people about lifestyle. The advantage of the pharmacy is that we see the patients frequently because of medication refills. We've had a pretty good relationship with physicians being willing to refer, because they simply don't have the time to do the educational stuff, realistically, nor can they get paid for it."
In line with the new role of pharmacists as "physician extenders," Dr. Lofholm offers medication therapy management (MTM) services to his patients. According to the pharmacy website, "MTM is a meeting with the pharmacist to review ALL of your medications, allergies, and conditions." The service is covered by Medicare under certain conditions. Dr. Lofholm says, "MTM is talking about taking a drug history, analyzing the combination of drugs, asking the patients why they're taking them, with the idea to get people off drugs that they don't need, or on drugs that they should be on. We believe that pharmacists are over-trained for what they do, putting pills in bottles, and the question is, how could they more appropriately be used? One of those key issues is MTM."
Asked how pharmacists are reimbursed for all the time they spend talking to the patients, Dr. Lofhom replies "There is no mechanism. Counseling is an unfunded mandate. It is actually part of the law, but there is no funding for it….We have a medical benefit, a dental benefit, a hospital benefit, a pharmaceutical benefit, but no pharmacist benefit. I am trying to develop legislation to define a pharmacist benefit. Most of the legislation that's been written has to do with provision of drugs, reducing costs, and formularies. It's a manufacturing thrust. But does it do any good if I throw 10 drugs at you and you don't have a clue what they are? We need to make sure that there is some communication between the patient and the pharmacist: 'Do you know when to take this, why to take it, when to stop taking it?' We need to try to sort all of that out."
Dr. Lofholm's goal is to make his pharmacy a complete "diabetes wellness center" that offers diabetes training, MTM, and support for patients who might drop through the cracks after being hospitalized. He explains, "We here in this county are considering a collaborative effort to set up a diabetes wellness center. The problem today is that there's not good additional services or follow-up from the acute care hospital to the community."
"When patients go in for an acute diabetic episode, typically they are elderly, and so they may need to be taught how to use a meter and maybe how to use insulin. Well, then they are discharged, and they have no clue what to do. Discharge orders may not get to the physician for awhile, and although the discharge physician might tell the patient to see his physician within seven days, that may or may not happen. So the problem is that the transition from acute care back to the community is not working very well. We have too many patients falling through the holes. They don't understand their medicines, maybe they can't afford their medicines, they don't know how to use them, etc."
"So we're working on a collaboration between the hospitals and pharmacies and local endocrinologists. If the diabetes wellness center were up and running, ideally the discharge orders would come to the diabetes wellness center for us to follow up and make sure the patient sees his primary care physician, etc. The point is to facilitate communication, and 'oh, by the way, if you need help in nutrition or exercise or medications, we can also help in that regard,' because the physician may not have the time to spend." Dr. Lofholm hopes to have the diabetes wellness center functioning by the end of the year.
Dr. Lofholm believes that his pharmacy initiatives could have a salutary effect on the number of adverse medication reactions. "For every dollar that we spend on distributing drugs," he says, "we spend another dollar for adverse reactions. So the question is, can we prevent adverse effects?" He strongly feels that pharmacist interventions would help do that. "Now that technicians are counting out the pills, we have the pharmacist ideally with time to be spent counseling patients. So we need legislation that will provide compensation for that. And the justification for that would be reducing adverse events and drug usage, thereby cutting costs."
"My job," he concludes, "is to optimize the therapy."

Everyone makes someone mad sometime in their life, and if you're like me—opinionated and bold—you've made several enemies along the way. But what do you do when someone dislikes, even hates you, and you've apologized, bent over backwards to make up with them, and they still refuse to forgive you?
I have two such people in my life right now. I've found three things that help ease the hurt when these individuals make it clear they wish I wasn't sharing the same planet with them. I believe these discoveries will help you, too.
2. I pray for my enemy. They have some kind of owie in their heart that keeps them from forgiving my real and imagined wrongs against them, and they need God's help to get over the pain. Plus, praying for them releases me from any bitterness trying to attach itself to my heart like barnacles on the side of a boat.
3. I am pleasant and gracious when I encounter this individual. I'm tempted to ignore then, so I don't have to deal with their rejection and icy treatment. But I want to leave the door open for Jesus to work in their life. . Their eternal destiny is far more important than my feelings. If I walk in love and treat them with respect, I cannot be blamed for their poor attitude, and I have a clear conscience.
How have you managed your emotions when someone dislikes or even hates you?

History and Hollywood have glamorized the Colt 45 revolver as the "gun that tamed the West." Known as the "Peacemaker," the .45 caliber pistol was used by all the famous lawmen and cowboy heroes of the old West. Wyatt Earp used the Colt 45. So did Wild Bill Hickok and Buffalo Bill Cody. It was often the deciding factor in the unrelenting battle of good and evil, the means by which law and order were established in a frontier in which chaos reigned.
Many aficionados of the Wild West would never list a genteel English emigrant named Fred Harvey in the company of Earp, Cody and the other rugged gun-toting legends. Recent history, however, has begun to recognize his contributions to the civilization of the frontier West. Harvey was, by no means, a man who (in the vernacular of Hollywood) "let his gun do his talking for him." He was a restaurateur by trade and his contributions were in bringing good food at reasonable prices to the Old West. He served it in clean, elegant restaurants, introducing a touch of refinement and civility to an untamed frontier.
As the Santa Fe railroad moved across the west, Harvey Houses opened every hundred miles or so. One of Harvey's crown jewels was Santa Fe's La Fonda, considered to this day, the "grande dame" of Santa Fe's hotels. La Fonda opened in 1929 and like many hotels in the Harvey system, it quickly established itself as a social center. La Fonda not only served the great food characteristic of all Harvey hotels, it had a romantic and upscale ambiance and was centered in the Plaza, the heart of the dusty city of Santa Fe.
Journalist Ernie Pyle, an Albuquerque resident at the time of his death, wrote that "life among the upper crust centered by daytime in the La Fonda Hotel. You could go there any time of day and see a few artists in the bar" and that "you never met anyone anywhere except at the La Fonda." Pyle also observed with his great humor that "La Fonda is Spanish for "The Hotel," but people don't pay much attention to that. They just go on saying The-the-Hotel-hotel." New Mexicans today are similarly amused by the anglicized "Rio Grande River," another malapropism in that it is an exercise in redundancy.
Within the elegant and storied La Fonda is one of the city's most beautiful dining rooms, La Plazuela, a sun brightened enclosed courtyard restaurant. La Plazuela is a visually stimulating venue in which to dine with much to see at every turn. It can also be an extremely busy place with long lines of diners waiting to be seated at peak times. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, La Plazuela features a creative menu of mostly Mexican and New Mexican favorites. Fresh, locally grown New Mexico ingredients are the basis for many of those entrees. Menus are seasonal so some of the dishes described below might not be available when you visit.
You won't be seated for long before a bowl of salsa and a basket of chips are brought to your table. The salsa is refreshing and tangy with a nice bite to it. A rich red color, it is flecked with chopped cilantro, one of several discernible ingredients. The tomatoes have a sweet, fire-roasted flavor with pronounced freshness. The chips are thick and crispy, a fitting canvass for the salsa. These are among the best chips we've seen in any restaurant, a perfect complement to an outstanding salsa. You'll request a refill or three of this salsa.
Entremeses, Ensaladas and Caldos (appetizers, salads and soups) are creative and tempting–a precursor of the entire meal's excellence. There are several Santa Fe restaurants which serve duck quesadillas, always a nice way to start a meal. La Plazuela's quesadilla de pato is a grilled flour tortilla cut into triangles and engorged with duck confit, roasted poblano chiles and Asadero cheese then served with a prickly-pear Tecate barbecue sauce. There is a lot going on in this appetizer–a melding of piquant, tangy, savory and sweet flavors that will please your palate. The barbecue sauce is wholly unnecessary (though it's quite good).
Great as the duck quesadillas are, they might not even be the best quesadillas on the menu. That honor just might belong to the organic turkey quesadillas, your choice of flour or whole wheat tortillas engorged with roasted turkey breast, poblano rajas (slices) and Chihuahua cheese served with guacamole and a smoky chipotle sour cream. Every element of these quesadillas, from the pinto pony charred tortillas to the roasted poblano rojas, is perfectly prepared. It's not often you can call quesadillas "melt-in-your-mouth" good, but these are.
Ask your friends what the signs of winter in New Mexico include and they'll likely respond with such answers as unpredictable weather, cold nights and short days. Ask a foodie and the response might well be butternut squash bisque. It's what this gastronome looks forward to most about the brumal season. La Plazuela's version will make me miss winter. It's a piping hot, flavorful bisque replete with flavor. The spice level, texture and the balance of ingredients–stock, cream and squash–are absolutely spot-on. Served with a red pepper creme fraiche and punctuated with toasted pumpkin seeds, it's one of the very best of its genre.
One word of warning about the lunch menu–if you order the restaurant's carne asada, you might never want to order any other entree. Many restaurants offer carne asada, but you never know what you're going to get. By definition, carne asada is grilled meat, but at lesser dining establishments, this could mean a belt-tough slab of meat of unknown origin (maybe an emaciated cow) cut into strips. La Plazuela's carne asada is among the best we've ever had. That's because it's a char-grilled New York strip steak as tender and juicy as you'll find at any steak restaurant. A half-inch thick and as pure as the driven snow (no sinew or excess fat), it is also well seasoned and thoroughly delicious. The carne asada is served with frijoles refritos, a Chihuahua cheese enchilada with roasted tomato salsa, jalapeño-onion rajas, guacamole and pico de gallo, all of which are absolutely delicious. The guacamole and pico are enrobed in a large leaf of lettuce while the rajas sit atop the carne asada.
Northern New Mexico specialties occupy their own section of the lunch menu. Fajitas have been served in New Mexico for so long that this Texas born entree made it to this section of the menu. A trail of eyes follow the wait staff as they deliver the Fajitas a La Plancha (grilled on a metal plate) to your table. That's because these babies are sizzling and leaving a trail of steam in their wake. You can choose from marinated strips of chicken or beef grilled with Spanish onions and bell peppers. The fajitas are served with either fresh corn or flour tortillas, pico de gallo, guacamole and sour cream. The fajita marinade is subtle, but delicious, allowing the inherent flavor of the beef to shine. The beef is as tender as a bird's heart and there's plenty of it on the sizzling plate.
Meatloaf, the ubiquitous American comfort food favorite, is given a unique La Plazuela treatment, too. It's a green chile meatloaf crafted from ground sirloin with a chipotle ketchup glaze and it's served with smoked Cheddar-roasted garlic mashed potatoes and fresh seasonal vegetables. All meatloaf should be this good! The meatloaf itself is moist and tender even without the generous dousing in chipotle ketchup. Coupled with flecks of New Mexican green chile, the chipotle ketchup gives the meatloaf a pleasant piquancy. It's not on the level of chile which will water your eyes, but it will get your attention. The Cheddar-roasted garlic mashed potatoes are a perfect complement with the chipotle ketchup serving as a gravy if you wish.
Another comfort food favorite which will embrace you in familiar flavors and warmth is La Plazuela's unique take on chicken pot pie. A light pastry crust seals in an oval dish brimming with creamy organic free-range chicken breast, sweet peas, sweet onions, carrots, Guajillo chile and fresh cilantro. If you're of the school that chicken pot pie is boring, this one will change your mind. Bite-sized chunks of chicken are wonderfully tender and delicious. The vegetables are farm-fresh. The pastry crust is light, buttery and flaky.
If you can't decide whether to have tamales or chile rellenos, you can have both on the La Plazuela Combination which features a red chile pork tamale, chile relleno and a Mexican cheese enchilada topped with your choice of local Hatch red, green or Christmas style chile. As with all New Mexican entrees, the combination plate is served with your choice of pinto or black beans, pork posole, pico de gallo, guacamole, sour cream, shredded lettuce and sopaipillas. You'll clean this plate! The posole is an exemplar of what posole should taste like. Ditto for the tamale which has the perfect amount of corn masa and tender and red chile marinated pork. The pork is reminiscent of an excellent carne adovada. The chile relleno and cheese enchilada are quite good, too, but that tamale is memorable.
The sopaipillas are served steaming hot and have deep air pockets beckoning for honey and La Plazuela uses the real stuff, not the honey-flavored syrup. New Mexico claims credit for having invented the sopaipilla and it can be said that La Plazuela perfected it.
In the lobby on your way out, you might notice a placard reading "Thank you for your patience in WAITING while members of our Armed Forces are being served" with Fred Harvey's distinct signature directly below. During World War II, Harvey Houses throughout the West provided respite and meals to troop trains loaded with America's fighting men on their way to wartime postings. It's a part of the Harvey heritage I most appreciate and one of the many reasons La Plazuela has earned my loyalty and business.

- Q30 Concept is differentiated from traditional premium vehicles by its unique fusion of body styles: coupe, hatch and crossover
- INFINITI is signalling the next step in an aggressive strategy to extend into new premium segments
- Q30 Concept's design vision introduces dissymmetry to create a seductive alternative to young-minded premium customers unconstrained by convention
FRANKFURT, Germany - INFINITI has revealed the sleek and seductive Q30 Concept, the design vision for a compact INFINITI vehicle with a contemporary, individualized character for a new generation of premium customers.
The Q30 Concept debuted at the 2013 IAA Frankfurt Motor Show, signalling the next step in an aggressive strategy to extend the INFINITI brand into new premium segments. The global compact premium segment is forecast for significant growth with the entry of younger affluent customers.
"The Q30 Concept represents a significant next step for INFINITI," said Johan de Nysschen, President of INFINITI Motor Company, Ltd. "The compact premium segment is crucial for our growth in markets like China and Europe and essential to meet the less conventional expectations of Gen X and Gen Y. Q30 Concept demonstrates how we intend to provoke the status quo with seductive product visions for a new generation of premium customers globally."
Body Style Mix: Best of Coupe, Crossover and Hatch
The shape of the INFINITI Q30 Concept deliberately challenges categorization - not a coupe, not a hatch and not a crossover - to appeal to younger customers who are less likely to follow tradition and actually desire to disrupt convention to create their own unique experiences.
The design concept reflects that, by the end of this decade, Gen X and Gen Y will represent 80 per cent of buyers in the premium segment, bringing new, more contemporary expectations for premiumness.
INFINITI is confident its concept's fusion of the dynamic design and sportiness of a coupe, the roominess of a hatch and the higher stance of a crossover will resonate with these customers. Q30 Concept is immediately differentiated from traditional mass-market premium vehicles.
Its uplifted shape resonates with younger premium customers, who tend to be more urban, by providing a higher visual perspective in heavy traffic and in parking maneuvers.
Q30 Concept's sensual design connects spontaneously to forge a strong emotional bond with a new wave of consumers less likely to conform to traditional fashion dictats and not willing to be defined by their vehicle's body type.
Sculptural, stretched, dynamic
From the sculpted fluidity of its contours and dynamic, stretched silhouette to the artistry, ambition and authenticity of its interior, Q30 Concept represents a coherent design vision.
The Q30 Concept design language creates a unique place for INFINITI, reflecting the brand's intent to deliver outstanding product substance in terms of design, materials, fit and finish, craftsmanship and performance.
Bold sections and intersecting lines of its body side play with light and shadow. Its muscular body surfaces evoke lithe and graceful cats, such as the cheetah's movements of floating grace.
INFINITI designers, led by Executive Design Director Alfonso Albaisa, took a disciplined artistic approach to sculpt the vehicle as would metal craftsmen in a classical Italian carrozzerie. Yet the designers were inspired by the use of lightweight composites and carbon fibre to create an air of lightness and effortless performance.
"The Q30 Concept doesn't feel heavy. It's more horizontal, floating and sculptural," said Albaisa. "It has a strong Italian design flavor with spontaneity and fluidity, a free-sculpture feeling full of Latin playfulness and nuance. Imagine combining Italian coachwork with Japanese brushstroke."
Evolving INFINITI Design Language
Just as younger premium customers want freedom to disrupt convention, INFINITI designers are stretching out to challenge - even to provoke - the design conventions of the premium car segment with new, more contemporary ideas.
Q30 Concept represents the latest evolution of the INFINITI design philosophy introduced with the INFINITI Q50. Yet INFINITI designers had the freedom to explore bolder, even more sensual sculpting, enhanced muscularity and playfulness, reflecting INFINITI's approach as the seductive alternative to traditional premium automobile brands.
INFINITI Q30 Concept also incorporates dramatic design cues from visionary INFINITI concept vehicles - Essence, Etherea and Emerg-e - in a realistic vision of what a future production compact premium car in the INFINITI lineup could be.
Building on INFINITI's reputation for precision, the Q30 Concept envisions a finely crafted body shape reflecting engineering quality in terms of body shut lines, consistently tight panel gaps and torsional rigidity.
INFINITI Performance Imagery
The enhanced muscularity and athleticism of the INFINITI Q30 Concept - with its sleek profile and wheels-at-the-corners stance - offers the visual promise of engaging performance and dynamics.
INFINITI's forthcoming compact premium entry will be the first INFINITI model Sebastian Vettel, INFINITI's Director of Performance, will influence from its inception.
The three-time Formula One world champion from INFINITI Red Bull Racing has engaged with INFINITI's technical teams around the world as part of INFINITI's commitment to infuse its brand with a performance pedigree.
Bespoke Interior Introduces Dissymmetry
The bespoke feel of the interior design envisions INFINITI's ambition of interior design and quality leading the premium segment.
Q30 Concept signals INFINITI's intent to achieve that goal by charting its own design path as a premium brand exemplified by its interior design, with its warm, inviting and emotionally engaging experience for the vehicle occupants, eschewing the more clinical approach found in other premium brands.
Designers achieved this through pursuing greater artistic freedom to create highly sculptural shapes, featuring a unique execution of INFINITI's "dual wave" effect and pursuing the notion of dissymmetry.
Dissymmetry, an unconventional approach, orients design features - from air vents and armrests to the instrument clusters - for more sculpted visual appeal. The technique creates an interior design for Q30 Concept markedly in contrast to any found in premium car products from traditional market leaders.
Insight about younger and younger-minded premium customers inspired the Q30 Concept design team.
These customers feel their lives are no longer aligned to one straight line in terms of career or lifestyle. Today is more about fluidity than rigidity, and that offers the freedom not to follow the norms important to a previous generation but rather to pursue the joy of dissymmetry in their lives.
Freeing themselves for premium car traditions, the Q30 Concept design team discovered that applying dissymmetry to the interior design created far more harmony and emotional warmth.
The overall effect is enhanced by the harmonious contrast of materials in the cabin. The initial impression is a black-and-white theme, but closer examination reveals a richer feel characterised by creme leathers and a slight bronze effect adding warmth to blacks, creating sumptuous warmth.
As younger premium customers have embraced furniture design, fashion and clothing, Q30 Concept's interior conveys an understated expression of personality for its target customer. The careful choices of colors, materials, contrasts and accents express thoughtful coordination.
Authentic Materials
Reflecting INFINITI's philosophy that premium character begins with genuine materials, the INFINITI Q30 Concept makes creative use of ceramic, leather and metallurgical artistry in the vehicle interior:
- Sculpted ceramic, integrated in the upper front seatbacks, is used to house speakers for the audio system not only due to its design appeal but its special audiophile properties.
- Metalwork throughout the interior features genuine metal crafted with a high degree of finishing art. Metal surfaces, in the centre console, door panels, seats, vent bezels and controls, feature contrasting matte and gloss finishes.
- Leather features bespoke-tailoring with the selective use of INFINITI-signature violet stitching, particularly the instrument panel and seats.
- The Q30 Concept exterior incorporates genuine carbon fiber - inspired by the INFINITI Red Bull Racing RB9 Formula One Car - in the grille and the lower sill on the body sides. Subtle use of INFINITI violet highlighting on selected surfaces of these carbon fiber elements adds another INFINITI design cue, communicates lightweight performance character and contributes an edgy attitude.
The inner spokes of Q30 Concept's 20-inch wheels also feature violet accents graduated in intensity from inner to outer. This graduated approach can be found elsewhere in the vehicle, particularly the precise melding of contrasting materials in the seats.
Design for the Future
INFINITI Q30 Concept is the design precursor for INFINITI's future compact premium entry. INFINITI has previously announced plans to produce a compact model in Sunderland, United Kingdom, starting in 2015.
As envisioned by the Q30 Concept, INFINITI has a clear strategy to grow in key global markets, particularly China and Europe, and expand its offering in established markets such as the United States.
The Q30 Concept's design appeal and compact footprint represent INFINITI's philosophy of how to extend its brand to a more urban customer base, such as that found in many Asian markets, as well as Europe.
INFINITI expects compact premium products to become a significant facet of its offering in the years ahead. INFINITI's portfolio is expected to broaden, from covering about 60 per cent of the premium sector today to beyond 85 percent in the future.

Dean of American Automotive Illustrators
Peter Helck
(1893-1988) was born in New York City, in the same year the Duryea Brothers built the first American automobile, 140 miles away in Springfield, Massachusetts. During his life, Peter produced more than 600 sketches, drawings and paintings.
They grace private collections and museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Congressional Library in Washington DC, the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh, the Philadelphia Museum of Fine Art, and the Long Island Automotive Museum in New York. At Pebble Beach in 2006,
"A Motor Race On The Continent in The Early Days"
sold for over $100,000 — a record for
automotive art at auction.
A founding member of the
Automotive Fine Arts Society
, Helck was dubbed
"the dean of American automotive illustrators of the 20th century."
The society's
Peter Helck Award
is their highest honor, given annually at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance to the artist whose work represents the pinnacle of automotive fine art.
"I am sure I wanted to be an artist from the beginning. Even before 1900 I was drawing locomotives and trains. Then came the automobile. In 1903 one of these contraptions parked at any curb was immediately surrounded by the inquisitive of all ages. If left unattended, the juveniles kicked the tires, explored the controls, honked the bulb horn and then scattered swiftly upon the return of the owner or chauffeur. All cars in motion were greeted by young voices bawling 'Get a horse!'"
Helck developed an early interest in automobiles and became an avid fan of motorsport. As a young boy he got rides with race car driver Al Poole testing the latest cars from Simplex. The first race he attended was the 1906 Vanderbilt Cup on Long Island. In 1912 he studied art at the Art Students League in Manhattan (befriending fellow student Norman Rockwell), and spent many a lunchtime gazing at cars in nearby showrooms.
An early influence was the 'grandfather' of automotive art: the legendary French artist Edouard Montaut, who depicted speed through exaggeration. He later studied in England with muralist Frank Brangwyn. A source of realism was that he painted on the spot, not from photographs. His first published work was for the Brighton Beach Motordrome and commissions for the Sheepshead Bay Speedway soon followed.
From the 1920s through the 1940s Helck was a very successful magazine illustrator and advertising artist, acquiring innumerable awards and recognition. His commissions frequently were of industrial scenes, or featured cars, trucks and locomotives. During that period he also painted pictures of famous automobile races.
Helck worked for most of the major car magazines of the day, in particular
The Autocar
, which took him to England and to major races in France and Italy. In the 1930s he was commissioned by the Sinclair Oil Company to create a five paneled road map. The result was a portfolio of lush service station scenes which did much to promote the idea of driving for pleasure.
A big break came in 1944 with a series of eight paintings for
magazine, in which he recreated the excitement of automobile races from the first decades of the 20th century. To his great satisfaction, these pictures proved very popular, and in the following decades he developed a large market for paintings of old cars.
By the time of his passing at age 95, he had witnessed motor racing from its earliest beginnings, when men drove huge machines at tremendous speeds over rock strewn roads, to rear-engined single seaters on modern tracks. He knew drivers from Louis Wagner to Mario Andretti and his paintings documented their exploits as none before or since. Helck once said,
"Perhaps the greatest satisfaction has come from producing paintings, drawings and sketches for the heroes of my boyhood, the speed kings of their day, whom I later came to know."
He was one of the founding faculty for the Famous Artists School, wrote many articles and authored two books:
The Checkered Flag
(Scribner, 1961) and
Great Auto Races
(Abrams, 1975.) In 1968 he was elected by the
Society of Illustrators
to its Hall of Fame artists for his
"distinguished achievement in the art of illustration."
