How It Works
The CVC has standard presets for a variety of voltage ranges. These standard presets have the 16 analog outputs on the CVC organized in four groups, each group supplying four analog voltages. Within each group of four outputs, one has an LED on the front panel (the Gate), and the other three outputs are labeled X, Y, and Z on the front panel.
The CVC reports the pressure and position for up to four simultaneous fingers pressing on the continuum playing surface. Each finger uses one group of four outputs: Gate, X, Y, and Z. (If polyphony greater than 4 is required, CVCs can be daisy-chained.) If desired, more extensive and complex setups can be created with the Continuum Editor on the CVC page of the Editor, using the CVC section of the EaganMatrix.
Gate - A finger comes in contact with the playing surface
For each group of four outputs, the Gate indicates that a finger is touching the surface. When no finger is touching the surface, the Gate is inactive. If the Gate is active, the LED above the gate output turns on. The output voltage ranges for the CVC are selectable, but the most common setups have an active gate at 10v, and inactive is 0v. This 10v level is more than enough to trigger analog synth gates, including the 12v Buchla.
Some analog synth patches won't use the Gate at all. Depending on the patch, having Z (pressure) go to 0 between notes is enough to turn off the sound, and there is no need for Gate. The Continuum is continuously sensing pressure, so many sounds do not trigger envelopes and have no need for Gate -- instead, the patch amplitude is just directly controlled by Z (finger pressure).
The Gate output can also be set to have a variable maximum output, set by calculating the velocity of a finger strike on the playing surface.
X Output - The left/right playing position
The X output (next to the Gate) is the pitch (X-position) for the finger. Most setups are configured so that X is 1 volt per octave, with middle C at 0v or at 5v; other configurations (like 1.2 volts per octave for Buchla synthesizers) are also possible. The X output can also take advantage of the myriad of possibilities available through the Continuum's pitch tuning mechanisms, as those settings are echoed to the CVC.
Y Output - The front/back playing position
If the Gate is active, the Y output gives the front-to-back position of the finger on the surface. Often this is set range-wise for -5v if the finger is on the side close to the performer, 0v if it is in the middle, and +5v if the finger is on the side farthest from the performer. These outputs stay at the last respective Y value when the gate goes inactive.
Z Output - The downward playing position
If the Gate is active, the Z output is is the pressure of the finger. Often Z is configured with a range of 0 to 10 volts. When the finger is released, the Z voltage goes to 0v, and the Gate goes to 0v, and the X and Y outputs retain the last values they had when the finger was still down.
You can combine Midi control with control voltage outputs from the CVC. The formula based voltage curves are available as Midi output, for extended control of hybrid analog/digital synthesizers.
Other setups
If only one finger is pressing on the surface, only one group of Gate,X,Y,Z outputs is used. If two fingers are pressing on the surface, two groups of Gate,X,Y,Z outputs are used. There are alternatives to this, as the Continuum can be configured to control just one Gate,X,Y,Z output by a combination of fingers pressing on the surface. The CVC output assignments can be set to be in playing surface splits as per the Continuum's Midi output assignments (e.g. two voices below middle C and two voices above). As well, the order in which the new notes from the playing surface are assigned to CVC outputs can be LRU (assign the new note to the Least Recently Used voice) or LVN (assign to the Lowest Voice Number).

a VILE grouping of Racists, Xenophobes, anti-Jewish, pro EU membership advocates of & practitioners of violence - Prostituted to more money from the public purse, out of self interest!
Friday, 15 January 2010
AGNEW, John Stewart - EUkip - EFD - UK
To view John AGNEW's EU Web Site : CLICK HERE
John AGNEW is a member of the vile racist, sexually intollerant, xenophobic EFD, which not only espouses and incites violence in pursuit of its political aims but also practices such violence and in association supporting pro EU Politicians and some with an overt anti Jewish stance. That The Pan EU Political Party EFD grouping is partly defined by its homophobia is irrefutable.
With hindsight it seems Farage did not act on principles but seemingly for personal gain in the IndDemGroup as he seems all too willing to prostitute his party, his Country and his principles now that it happens to suit him financially and in terms of authority in forming his squalid Pan EU Political Party grouping of The EFD.
It is also noted his untrustworthy and duplicitous little side kick Mark Croucher is also acting with Farage to assist in the promotion of this Racist homophobic claque when previously he made much of telling lies about people to try to damage them by falsely branding them as anti Jewish, BNP supporters and anti homosexual based on his own concocted lies. We note it is he who actually practices and assists these disgusting values!

Florida man pleads not guilty in LA to selling mock Pollocks, phony Monets and faux Van Goghs
LOS ANGELES (AP) ' A Florida man has pleaded not guilty to defrauding a Los Angeles art collector out of more than $2 million by selling him forgeries of the work of Claude Monet, Vincent van Gogh and Jackson Pollock.
Matthew Taylor of Vero Beach entered the plea Monday in a Los Angeles federal court to seven felony counts, including wire fraud and money laundering.
He is scheduled to go to trial April 3.
Prosecutors say the 43-year-old former art dealer is accused of altering paintings from unknown artists to make them appear to be from their famous counterparts, then selling the bogus pieces at sky-high prices.
Authorities say he also placed fake labels on the artwork to claim they were once part of prestigious collections at museums like the Guggenheim in New York.

|Cell-to-cell communication in bacteria is a process known as quorum sensing that relies on the production, detection, and response to the extracellular accumulation of signaling molecules called autoinducers. Often, bacteria use multiple autoinducers to obtain information about the vicinal cell density. However, how cells integrate and interpret the information contained within multiple autoinducers remains a mystery. Using single-cell fluorescence microscopy, we quantified the signaling responses to and analyzed the integration of multiple autoinducers by the model quorum-sensing bacterium Vibrio harveyi. Our results revealed that signals from two distinct autoinducers, AI-1 and AI-2, are combined strictly additively in a shared phosphorelay pathway, with each autoinducer contributing nearly equally to the total response. We found a coherent response across the population with little cell-to-cell variation, indicating that the entire population of cells can reliably distinguish several distinct conditions of external autoinducer concentration. We speculate that the use of multiple autoinducers allows a growing population of cells to synchronize gene expression during a series of distinct developmental stages.

CRS Annotated Constitution
|Article I -- Table of Contents
|Prev | Next
Congressional Employees.—Until the most recent decision, it was seemingly the basis of the decisions that while Members of Congress may be immune from suit arising out of their legislative activities, legislative employees who participate in the same activities under the direction of the Member or otherwise are responsible for their acts if those acts be wrongful.405 Thus, inKilbourn v. Thompson,406 the sergeant at arms of the House was held liable for false imprisonment because he executed the resolution ordering Kilbourn arrested and imprisoned.Dombrowski v. Eastland407 held that a subcommittee counsel might be liable in damages for actions as to which the chairman of the committee was immune from suit. And inPowell v. McCormack,408 the Court held that the presence of House of Representative employees as defendants in a suit for declaratory judgment gave the federal courts jurisdiction to review the propriety of the plaintiff's exclusion from office by vote of the House. Upon full consideration of the question, however, the Court, inGravel v. United States,409 accepted a series of contentions urged upon it not only by the individual Senator but by the Senate itself appearing by counsel asamicus:"that it is literally impossible, in view of the complexities of the modern legislative process, with[p.133]Congress almost constantly in session and matters of legislative concern constantly proliferating, for Members of Congress to perform their legislative tasks without the help of aides and assistants; that the day–to–day work of such aides is so critical to the Members' performance that they must be treated as the latters' alter ego; and that if they are not so recognized, the central role of the Speech or Debate clause . . . will inevitably be diminished and frustrated."410 Therefore, the Court held "that the Speech or Debate Clause applies not only to a Member but also to his aides insofar as the conduct of the latter would be a protected legislative act if performed by the Member himself."411
TheGravelholding, however, does not so much extend congressional immunity to employees as it narrows the actual immunity available to both aides and Members in some important respects. Thus, the Court says, the legislators inKilbournwere immune because adoption of the resolution was clearly a legislative act but the execution of the resolution—the arrest and detention—was not a legislative act immune from liability, so that the House officer was in fact liable as would have been any Member who had executed it.412Dombrowskiwas interpreted as having held that no evidence implicated the Senator involved, whereas the committee counsel had been accused of "conspiring to violate the constitutional rights of private parties. Unlawful conduct of this kind the Speech or Debate Clause simply did not immunize."413AndPowellwas interpreted as simply holding that voting to exclude plaintiff, which was all the House defendants had done, was a legislative act immune from Member liability but not from judicial inquiry. "None of these three cases adopted the simple proposition that immunity was unavailable to House or committee employees because they were not Representatives; rather, immunity was unavailable because they engaged in illegal conduct which was not entitled to Speech or Debate Clause protection. . . . [N]o prior case has held that Members of Congress would be immune if they execute an invalid resolution by themselves carrying out an illegal arrest, or if, in order to secure information for a hearing, themselves seize the property or invade the privacy of a citizen. Neither they nor their aides should be immune from liability or questioning in such circumstances."414[p.134]
Appointment to Executive Office
"The reasons for excluding persons from offices, who have been concerned in creating them, or increasing their emoluments, are to take away, as far as possible, any improper bias in the vote of the representative, and to secure to the constituents some solemn pledge of his disinterestedness. The actual provision, however, does not go to the extent of the principle; for his appointment is restricted only 'during the time, for which he was elected'; thus leaving in full force every influence upon his mind, if the period of his election is short, or the duration of it is approaching its natural termination."415As might be expected, there is no judicial interpretation of the language of the clause and indeed it has seldom surfaced as an issue.
In 1909, after having increased the salary of the Secretary of State,416 Congress reduced it to the former figure so that a Member of the Senate at the time the increase was voted would be eligible for that office.417The clause became a subject of discussion in 1937, when Justice Black was appointed to the Court, because Congress had recently increased the amount of pension available to Justices retiring at seventy and Mr. Black's Senate term had still some time to run. The appointment was defended, however, with the argument that inasmuch as Mr. Black was only fifty–one years of age at the time, he would be ineligible for the "increased emolument" for nineteen years and it was not as to him an increased emolument.418In 1969, it was briefly questioned whether a Member of the House of Representatives could be appointed Secretary of Defense because, under a salary bill enacted in the previous Congress, the President would propose a salary increase, including that of cabinet officers, early in the new Congress which would take effect if Congress did not disapprove it. The Attorney General ruled that inasmuch as the clause would not apply if the increase were proposed and approved subsequent to the appointment, it[p.135]similarly would not apply in a situation in which it was uncertain whether the increase would be approved.419
Incompatible Offices
This second part of the second clause elicited little discussion at the Convention and was universally understood to be a safeguard against executive influence on Members of Congress and the prevention of the corruption of the separation of powers.420 Congress has at various times confronted the issue in regard to seating or expelling persons who have or obtain office in another branch. Thus, it has determined that visitors to academies, regents, directors, and trustees of public institutions, and members of temporary commissions who receive no compensation as members are not officers within the constitutional inhibition.421Government contractors and federal officers who resign before presenting their credentials may be seated as Members of Congress.422
One of the more recurrent problems which Congress has had with this clause is the compatibility of congressional office with service as an officer of some military organization—militia, reserves, and the like.423Members have been unseated for accepting appointment to military office during their terms of congressional office,424 but there are apparently no instances in which a Member–elect has been excluded for this reason. Because of the difficulty of successfully claiming standing, the issue has never been a litigatible matter.425

PARAMUS, NJ (July 15, 2013) -- Autism Speaks today commended U.S. Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) for introducing the AGE-IN Act which would address the challenges faced by young adults with autism as they "age out" of public education and other support services. Menendez announced the bill here at the ECLC of New Jersey's Bergen P.R.I.D.E. Center.
The Menendez bill would fund research, training and planning for a pilot program in adult transition services. The bill is called the Assistance in Gaining Experience, Independence, and Navigation Act of 2013, or AGE-IN Act.
Menendez invited Kerry Magro [right], a young adult with autism, to speak of his experiences with transition issues. Magro works as a social media specialist with Autism Speaks and is a newly published author.
"For too many young people with autism spectrum disorders, the end of high school means the end of the support and skills training they need to succeed in the new world of adulthood," said Menendez. He called for a national response to the necessary resources are available to ensure young adults with with autism can lead productive, fulfilling lives.
"Senator Menendez has been a leading champion for the autism community in Congress and the AGE-IN Act shows he is closely attuned to the pressing needs of our families," said Peter Bell, Autism Speaks' executive vice president for programs and services. "Many thousands of young adults with autism are now 'aging out' of the daily supports they receive through the public education system, and need help with employment, housing, transportation, higher education and other services. Living at home with aging parents is simply not an option in many cases."
The AGE-IN Act would fund research into the aging-out phenomenon and inventory the existing infrastructure for community-based housing, continuing education and vocational training, accessible transportation and community integration services. In addition, a strategic plan would be created for a "Transition to Independence" pilot program providing a full range of support services for adult transition.
The Transition Navigator Grant Program would create university-based training programs to create a network of "navigators" capable of helping young adults with autism transition to community-based settings.

text: Planning to fill out that Nov. 2 election ballot you just received in the mail? Remember two things: Sign it, and mail back the envelope on time. Make that three: Don't forget to put the ballot in the envelope before you send it. Those were among the errors made by almost 15,000 King County voters in the August primary election, according to the county's post-election analysis. As usual, every vote counts, but not every vote could be counted, and once again the democratic process failed due mostly to procrastination. Of the 421,000 county voters (out of a million) who bothered to return their primary ballots, only 406,000 had their votes certified. The #1 cause for not being certified was not sending back the ballot by midnight of Election Day. Any dropped-off or mailed ballots not received or postmarked by that time cannot, by law, be counted. Exactly 8,800 county voters failed to meet that cutoff, and their ballots were tossed. Another 2,842 were not counted because voters forgot to put their signatures on the envelopes before returning them. The county also was unable to verify another 2,509 signatures. The Elections Department challenged 31 votes due to name changes, 27 for not having a signature on file, and 24 because the voter had moved. Another 21 voters apparently filled out the ballot and then sent in the envelope—without the ballot. Among voters who were sent ballots for the primary, 33 turned out to be dead. Typically, says elections spokesperson Kim van Ekstrom, that's discovered when a ballot is returned with a note by, say, a family member, informing the department of the voter's death. Despite the jokes about graveyards voting, it's rare that someone tries to vote by fraudulently signing a dead person's ballot—which would likely be discovered and discarded anyway by the county's signature-comparison procedure, which includes calling voters when signatures are questioned. But it is possible for the votes of dead people to be validated, van Ekstrom says. "If they sent in their ballot and then died" before the Election Day tabulation, "then yes, technically we could count the vote of a deceased person." Another reason to vote early, if not often.

(an essay on the nature of coincidence)
Originally posted on joshrutner.com (in slightly altered form) on 10/13/08.
Sylvère Lotringer: When Patrice Chéreau staged Quartet at Nanterre in 1985, he said: "It's such an intelligent reading of Les Liaisons dangereuses. It's as it Müller had recomposed the novel from memory." He should have said, decomposed…
Heiner Müller: I rather like the "from memory," because I never read the book! I mean I read it, but in zig-zag fashion. If I had read it in detail, I would have lost the impact, the power of the text…
Lotringer: Understanding a text the way a reader or a critic would is not really what you're after.
Müller: No. First I eat it then I understand.
Lotringer: Reading is a luxury.
Müller: Yeah, an absolute luxury. Eating literature is faster.
—West Berlin, 1988 (published in Germania)
Though I've long loved to comb through and pore over books, it is certainly the case that I don't retain things "the way a reader or a critic would." I've never been very able to communicate plots or scenes—even from stories I know well—in any way that would let me pass as a storyteller. This was an issue for me throughout my school years, where comprehension was often measured by one's ability to recount the story's shape and theme.
What I remember from books are snippets, quotes, phrases, and, more than anything, a fuzzy emotional glow. The feel of reading Stegner's Angle of Repose while sitting on a cold Oregon beach, chatting with a friend about our own family histories; the urban brutality in Buford's Among the Thugs, which I read on the subway, while listening to Stevie Wonder's Sunshine In Their Eyes; the strange connection I felt reading Bloom's Jesus and Yaweh during the Passover holiday; the intensity of reading Pushkin's Eugene Onegin before a close friend's wedding.
I finish only a modest percentage of the books that I read. It's not unusual for me to be "in the middle of" 10-15 books. My method of hopping from book to book is haphazard but perhaps not totally without reason. It often starts with a recommendation by a friend (so began my love of Donald Barthelme's writing), or a friendly bibliography (I discovered G.K. Chesterton through a footnote), a mention within another book (I learned of Boccaccio's Decameron from Italo Calvino's Six Memos for the Next Millennium). From there, the book suggests its own links. Sometimes a chain is begun by chance: I picked up the hilarious The Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow because I thought Jerome K. Jerome was a funny name; my love for Giacomo Leopardi's writing began with the enjoyment of a book cover.
One of my favorite books that I discovered by chance, while browsing the shelves back when I worked at Barnes & Noble, was The Unquiet Grave by Cyril Connolly(under the pseudonym Palinurus). The book seemed written especially for me. No plot, no characters as such; just a collection of musings, aphorisms and quotes. He, like Leopardi, had a most blindingly acute way of expressing the sadness of the world. One quote, though, has always been for me a source of hope and an ultimate expression of my feelings toward reading:
"Like the glow-worm; dowdy, minute, passive, yet full of mystery to the poet, and passionate significance to its fellows; so everything and everybody eternally radiates their dim light for those who care to seek. The strawberry cries, 'Pick me'; the forgotten book, in the forgotten bookshop, screams to be discovered. The old house hidden in the hollow agitates itself violently at the approach of its pre-destined admirer. Dead authors cry "Read me"; dead friends cry, "Remember me"; dead ancestors cry, "Unearth me"; dead places, "Revisit me"; and sympathetic spirits, living and dead, are trying continually to enter into communion. Physical or intellectual attraction between two people is a constant communication. Underneath the rational and voluntary world is the involuntary, impulsive, integrated world, the world of Relation in which everything is one; where sympathy and antipathy are engrossed in their selective tug-of-war. We learn a new word for the first time. Then we meet it again in a few hours. Why? Because words are living organisms impelled to a crystallizing process, to mysterious agglutinative matings at which the word-fancier is sometimes privileged to assist. The glow-worms light up....The individual also is a moving mirror or screen which reflects in its motion an everchanging panorama of thoughts, sensations, faces and places, and yet the screen is always being guided to reflect one film rather than another, always seeking a chosen querencia. In the warm sea of experience we blob around like plankton, we love-absorb or hate-avoid each other, or are avoided, or are absorbed, devoured and devouring. Yet we are no more free than the cells in a plant or the microbes in a drop of water, but are held firmly in tension by the pull of the future and the stress of the past."
I remember a funny instance of being misled by those living word-organisms: I was reading Julian Barnes' Flaubert's Parrot, an intensely beautiful vision of Gustave Flaubert, revolving around a fight for authenticity between two stuffed parrots. Towards the end of the book, I found a phrase that Barnes takes from Flaubert's Madame Bovary, which struck me as particularly poignant:
"Language is a cracked kettle on which we beat out tunes for bears to dance to, while all the time we long to move the stars to pity."
I knew I'd read that phrase before. I hadn't (and still haven't) read Madame Bovary, so it wasn't that. It's true that at the time I'd been listening incessantly to Randy Newman's album Sail Away, and perhaps I'd imagined hearing that line within the song Simon Smith and the Amazing Dancing Bear, but no such luck. I was convinced it'd been quoted in the book I'd just finished, Peter Handke's The Left-Handed Woman. I went through every page trying to locate this little quote. I was so convinced that after finding nary a bear reference in my first flip-through, I re-read the book. Again. And again: no bear, no kettle; no stars.
Finally, I was distraught enough to imagine that I'd in fact read the quote earlier in the book. I began again at page one; hunting for bears. Turns out I had seen it earlier in the book—twice. In Barnes' multifaceted look at Flaubert's life and work, he used this same quote in three places, each as if for the first time. It had become lodged in my mind the first two times, and only the third time did it appear as a friend, waiting to be unveiled.
"Words came easily to Flaubert; but he also saw the underlying inadequacy of the Word. Remember his sad definition from Madame Bovary: 'Language is a cracked kettle on which we beat out tunes for bears to dance to, while all the time we long to move the stars to pity.'" (page 19)
"He flirts occasionally with the rhinoceros and the camel as self-images, but mainly, secretly, essentially, he is the Bear… 'Language is a cracked kettle on which we beat out tunes for bears to dance to, while all the time we long to move the stars to pity'" (page 51)
"Other people think you want to talk…hinting that they won't be embarrassed if you break down. Sometimes you talk, sometimes you don't; it makes little difference. The words aren't the right one; or rather, the right words don't exist. 'Language is a cracked kettle on which we beat out tunes for bears to dance to, while all the time we long to move the stars to pity'" (page 161)
This past week I experienced an extremely powerful incident that again reminded me how alive words can be.
I had just recently finished Alberto Manguel's newest book, The Library at Night, a stunning book about book collections of all types (from National Libraries down to mobile "donkey libraries" in rural Colombia) from an array of perspectives—space, chance, order, shape, myth, etc. When I finished it, I picked up a book by Rabelais, which I'd begun 2 years earlier, but had put it down about halfway through. The book is Gargantua & Pantagruel, an epic (and funny!) tale written in the 1500s, which I'd discovered partly through Milan Kundera's writings, and partly because it was a seminal influence on Donald Barthelme's work. So these were the two things on my mind.
Cut to a synagogue in Brooklyn on Yom Kippur. I was early for the final service of the day and struck up a conversation with the Rabbi. We got on the subject of God, and he was telling me about some old texts that, in a very frank manner, discussed the physical dimensions of God. I replied that I'd recently read a description of God's size that went something like, "God is a circle, whose center is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere." Of course, I couldn't tell him where I'd read it or what the source was, but I did promise to get back to him. In doing so, I came upon some beautiful connections.
I knew, as the quote was so fresh in my mind, that I'd read it in either the Manguel book or the Rabelais. After a little hunting in Gargantua, I remembered that I'd read it in The Library at Night. Without too much trouble, I found the quote, taken from Manguel's concluding chapter:
"If the Library of Alexandria was the emblem of our ambition of omniscience, the Web is the emblem of our ambition of omnipresence; the library that contained everything has become the library that contains anything. Alexandria modestly saw itself as the centre of a circle bound by the knowable world; the Web, like the definition of God first imagined in the twelfth century, sees itself as a circle whose centre is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere."
Luckily for me there was a footnote to give me the source of Manguel's claim; unluckily for me, the footnote read as follows:
El libro de los veinticuatro filósofos, ed. Paolo Lucentini, trans. Cristina Serna and Jaume Pòrtulas (Madrid: Siruela, 2000)
Unable to speak Spanish, I turned to that very thing Manguel blesses with that infinite metaphor: the Web. A Google Books search led me to various sources. One, which seemed a likely candidate, was Alain of Lille, a twelfth century French theologian and poet. But another source that that the search had turned up caught my eye: Jorges Luis Borges' Labyrinths. In it, there is a short essay called The Fearful Sphere of Pascal, wherein Borges takes this very metaphor and traces it through the ages. From my late night skim, I notice that Borges does indeed attribute the quote to Alain of Lille, though notes that AoL probably got the idea from Hermes Trismegistus. He also traces the metaphor outward to the work of Pascal, who wrote, "Nature is an infinite sphere, whose center is everywhere, and whose circumference is nowhere."
I went to sleep that night thinking about the connection between Borges and Manguel: when Manguel was a teenager working in a bookshop in Buenos Aires, the by-then-blind Borges had hired him to read books aloud to him in his library.
It wasn't, however, until the next day that the ultimate connection was uncovered.
That morning I'd packed two books in my work bag: Gargantua & Pantagruel and Labyrinths (to read Borges' Pascal essay in greater detail). It was on the subway ride home that I cracked open Labyrinths to confirm, in daylight, the discoveries from the night before. In the essay's third paragraph (which I'd only skimmed previously), I came upon the following:
"In the thirteenth century, the image reappeared in the symbolic Roman de la Rose, where it is given as a citation from Plato, and in the encyclopedia Speculum Triplex; in the sixteenth century, the last chapter of the last book of Pantagruel…"
My jaw went slack and I produced one of the widest smiles the New York subway system had ever seen. As the packed train shook forward, I reached into my bag and flipped to the last chapter of Pantagruel to find this:
"Go, my friends, under the protection of this intellectual sphere, the centre of which is at all points and the circumference at none, and which we call God; and when you come to your country bear testimony that great treasures and wonderful things are hidden beneath the earth."

Barry def. Ouachita Baptist 5-1
MIAMI SHORES, Fla.— A matchup between two top-25 teams turned out to be quite anticlimactic as No. 2 Barry University (12-5) breezed past No. 16 Ouachita Baptist, 5-1, on Thursday afternoon.
In doubles action, the Bucs took wins in the second and third flights. Marco Mokrzycki and Sergio Velez downed Helge Knuth and Teodor Anghel 8-4 at No. 2. Romain Costamagna and Simon Simon Raagaard gave the Bucs their second point at No. 3 doubles with an 8-4 win over Ernesto Laborda and Ramon Abaitua.
The fifth-ranked duo of Max Wimmer and Emanuel Fraitzl lost 8-4 to No. 16 Kuhlmann and Till Heilshorn. In singles action, the Bucs only needed three points to take the win. Fraitzl, the top-ranked player in Division II, beat Heilshorn 6-2, 6-4 at the second flight, and 11th-ranked Mokrzycki defeated Knuth 6-4, 6-2 at No. 2 singles. Romain Costamagna gave the Bucs the final point they needed with a 6-0, 6-3 beatdown of Teodor Anghel.

Carving a pumpkin is lots of fun and a great way to get the kids to exercise some creativity away from the TV. But, what do you do with the "guts" afterward? It seems like such a waste to throw them out.
Click here to see the What to Do with Pumpkin Seeds Slideshow
That's why we've come up with some delicious and nutritious ways to use up all those pumpkin seeds so that they don't just end up in the compost. But first, you'll need to clean them up.
Carly Taylor, author of createliveblog, has a great way to separate the seeds from the pulp. She writes:
"Use an ice cream scooper (or large spoon) to scoop out seeds and string, etc., and place in a strainer.
Put the mess of seeds and 'pumpkin guts' into a bowl of water. Using your hands, try to separate the seeds from the other disposable material. Generally, you can pinch the seeds right where they are attached to the orange pulp of the pumpkin and the seeds will fall off. Once you've done this, the seeds should float, which makes them easier to separate. Lay out the seeds on parchment paper to dry for 1 day."
Generally, the seeds are eaten as is. Some recipes, however, may call for "shelled" or "hulled" pumpkin seeds, in which case you'll want to try the following method:

The CSU delegation was led by Provost Rick Miranda, Vice-President for Engagement Lou Swanson, Vice-President for International Affairs James Cooney, Vice-President for Research Alan Rudolph, Vice-President for Operations Lynn Johnson along with many other CSU leaders and faculty members from across CSU campus. The College of Agricultural Sciences was represented by Lee Sommers, Director Emeritus for Agricultural Experiment Station and Special Advisor to the CAS-Dean and also by Raj Khosla faculty in Soil & Crop Sciences.
The AAU is one of CSU's 15 global strategic partners for international research and scholarship initiatives – the highest designation for CSU's international strategic university partnerships . This visit was a follow-up to the establishment of a highly innovative international strategic partnership between CSU and AAU and creation of a Joint Institute for Agricultural Extension and Economic Development in December of 2014. As previously expressed by Dr. Lou Swanson, CSU Vice President for Engagement and Director of Extension that "One of the cornerstones of this partnership is working with AAU and the People's Republic of China's Ministries of Science and Technology and Education to create working model for university-based Extension in China". The joint conference was well attended and received by both CSU and AAU.

You Can't Detect What You Can't See: Illuminating the Entire Kill Chain
On-Demand Webinar
Clark Wilson Homes Inc.
The company: Clark Wilson Homes Inc. is a medium-sized construction company in Austin, Texas.
The problem: With 18 builders, 75 subcontractors, and up to 240 construction projects to oversee, managers at Clark Wilson Homes found that using a paper system to track the myriad details and schedules for each project was time consuming and error prone.
The solution: The company purchased handheld computers with Punch List software from Strata Systems. In the field, builders use simple pull-down menus that document needed repairs and schedule work for subcontractors. The information from the job site is sent to the company's main computer, where it is sorted and sent off to subcontractors via e-mail.
The IT infrastructure: SClark Wilson Homes uses PalmPilots from the Palm Computing division of 3Com Corp., with Punch List software. The company also uses Palm HotSync server software to connect to its main database.
The future: The company hopes to add a scheduling software package to the handhelds so employees can download all the details of a project into the devices.
While flying airplanes is not yet within the capability of handheld devices, the cartoon illustrates how ubiquitous the diminutive personal digital assistant (PDA) has become since the PalmPilot's debut four years ago.
PDAs, originally used primarily as personal information managers, have become essential equipment in business today--doing much more than simply tracking appointments. Salespeople, builders, doctors, and students are all stretching the power of their handheld devices to keep notes on clients, send e-mail, store essential information, and, more generally, just help them get through their daily routines.
In fact, an estimated 35% of the 3.7 million handhelds sold in 2000 will be purchased by individuals who will be fully or partially reimbursed by their company, according to Diana Hwang, program manager, mobile research at International Data Corp. in Framingham, Mass. That figure is up from 21% in 1999.
Another measure of the growing demand for PDAs in the workplace is the explosion of new applications being written specifically for business use. Third-party applications for Palm OS and Windows CE devices include databases, communications software, inventory control, project management, and business productivity tools. "You see a lot more commercial vendors developing applications to support the handhelds," says Hwang. Major database players such as Oracle Corp. and Sybase Inc. have developed versions of their popular applications for the handheld market, giving users real-time remote access to corporate data.
Banishing the building blues
First, he gave laptops to the builders so they could update their schedules in real time and keep all their notes in one place. However, the builders found the laptops too cumbersome to carry and too difficult to use--so that idea was dropped.But Roush didn't give up. He knew that technology could help the company with the complicated management challenges of coordinating the work of 18 builders and 75 subcontractors on as many as 240 houses at one time.
Two years ago, Roush bought Palm handheld devices from the Palm Computing division of 3Com Corp., in Santa Clara, Calif., for all Clark Wilson's builders. He also bought Punch List--software developed specifically for builders--to load on the Palms. The software, from Strata Systems LC, of Austin, Texas, uses pull-down menus to let builders keep notes on every detail of the work, from repairs to supplies to subcontractors' schedules.
Before they used handhelds, the builders compiled their paper notes and called each subcontractor--plumbers, electricians, painters, and others--at the end of the day, spending up to 15 minutes discussing issues that arose during the day. "Then, later, they would often need to call the very same subcontractor because of something they forgot to mention or something new they discovered that the subcontractor needed to be aware of," Roush says.

Cooper Gay, the London-based independent wholesale, reinsurance and specialist retail insurance broker, and US wholesale broker Swett & Crawford have confirmed they are in advanced deal discussions.
In a statement, the companies said the combined business would become "the world's largest independent global wholesale and reinsurance broker".
The two businesses will come together under a new group holding company, which will retain a high proportion of ownership by the working employees.
Management of the combined group will be led by Toby Esser as group chief executive. Neal Abernathy will continue to be the chief executive of Swett & Crawford, with Cooper Gay's North American businesses reporting to him as well.
Cooper Gay and Swett & Crawford together place some $3.5bn in premiums in the London, US and international insurance markets and employ over 1,500 staff based in more than 60 offices across four continents.
Completion of the transaction is subject to regulatory approvals.
Toby Esser, Cooper Gay Group CEO, said: "The Cooper Gay team is very excited about the prospect of joining forces with Swett & Crawford to form the world's largest independent wholesale, reinsurance and specialist brokers with a very substantial presence in the key US market.
"The new group will be unique in terms of our range of products and market access. We have made no secret of our desire to grow both organically and through transactions and the proposed deal will accelerate this process while providing us with outstanding opportunities for future development."
Mr. Abernathy, Swett & Crawford president and CEO commented: "Swett & Crawford is delighted to be in transaction talks with Cooper Gay as the strong synergies and excellent strategic fit between our businesses presents a very appealing proposition for the support of our clients and development of our staff. In addition, the creation of the new independent broking group with $3.5bn in premiums will enable us to take advantage of further opportunities in the global insurance and reinsurance markets."

Uncle Sam has again postponed the printing of ``greenbacks`` with new anti-counterfeiting devices because of ongoing technical problems.
Two years ago this month U. S. Treasurer Katherine D. Ortega said the bills would make their debut by 1989, rather than in 1987 as had been planned. The government now hopes to begin production in the early 1990s.

compared to its German (36 k) and British (L85a2 ACOG GL) counterpart this lacks with only 2 usable mags ( really one because sd is always off) and the g36 and L85 can use both g36 and STAGNAG mags, as far as I know there is no extra CCO scope and the grenade launcher can only use HE while G36 and L85 can have flare and smoke ( though they aren't much help other than a distraction). After saying that this isn't too bad but I'd drop it in a heartbeat for a G36, L85, sniper or MG.
In first 5 mins since i spawned i stoled a guys ural, got geared up in near town, went up 50m from town and founded AK-107 GL PSO in crash site, but no ammo...
I dont know but I think it my be the best AK, still like the cobra better
I like the weapon, but after testing it extensively, could only get accurate hits to 400m.
The best gun in my opinion

Fraternization in the United States Military
When Does Friendship Become a Crime?
Fraternization is a violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). It falls under a subparagraph of Article 134, and is defined by the Manual For Courts-martial (MCM). According to the MCM, the "elements of proof" for the offense of fraternization are:
- That the accused was a commissioned or warrant officer;
- That the accused fraternized on terms of military equality with one or more certain enlisted member(s) in a certain manner;
- That the accused then knew the person(s) to be (an) enlisted member(s);
- That such fraternization violated the custom of the accused's service that officers shall not fraternize with enlisted members on terms of military equality; and
- That, under the circumstances, the conduct of the accused was to the prejudice of good order and discipline in the armed forces or was of a nature to bring discredit upon the armed forces.
The MCM goes on to offer further explanation of the offense:
In general. The gist of this offense is a violation of the custom of the armed forces against fraternization. Not all contact or association between officers and enlisted persons is an offense. Whether the contact or association in question is an offense depends on the surrounding circumstances. Factors to be considered include whether the conduct has compromised the chain of command, resulted in the appearance of partiality, or otherwise undermined good order, discipline, authority, or morale. The acts and circumstances must be such as to lead a reasonable person experienced in the problems of military leadership to conclude that the good order and discipline of the armed forces has been prejudiced by their tendency to compromise the respect of enlisted persons for the professionalism, integrity, and obligations of an officer.
Regulations. Regulations, directives, and orders may also govern conduct between officer and enlisted personnel on both a service-wide and a local basis. Relationships between enlisted persons of different ranks, or between officers of different ranks may be similarly covered. Violations of such regulations, directives, or orders may be punishable under Article 92.
Problems with Using the UCMJ
Unfortunately, there were a couple of problems using the UCMJ/MCM as a basis of charges. First and foremost, the UCMJ/MCM only makes fraternization a crime for commissioned and warrant officers. Under the provisions of article 134, enlisted members could not be charged with this crime. While they could be charged under service regulations, each of the services had different and wide-ranging policies and definitions as to what constituted an "inappropriate relationship." Additionally, the explanation of what is and is not allowed is not specifically spelled out in the MCM/UCMJ.
In July 1998, Defense Secretary William Cohen directed the services to "adopt uniform, clear and readily understandable" fraternization policies. Cohen stated that the current separate policies were "corrosive to morale particularly as we move toward an increasingly joint environment."
The services submitted policy changes to Cohen that he approved Feb. 3, 1999. All of the new policies have been implemented in the respective service regulations. Now, while each of the services still have individual policies, they all share common standards with respect to relationships between officers and enlisted personnel, recruiters and potential recruits and trainers and trainees.
The Army fraternization policy required many changes and the most toughening. Navy and Air Force policies required little change. Marine Corps policy required no change.
All the services prohibit personal and business relationships between officers and enlisted members, calling them prejudicial to good order and discipline. Personal relationships include dating, cohabitation, and any sexual relationship. Business relationships include loaning and borrowing money and business partnerships.
Following is a breakdown of the individual service policies, including each service's definition of fraternization and examples of prohibited relationships.

Is there any room left for the next big thing on the consumer internet?
Venture capitalists still 'like' the consumer internet, but when it comes to where they're putting their money, consumer internet startups are competing harder for funding dollars.
According to Dow Jones VentureSource, the amount invested in consumer internet companies declined 42% in the first three quarters of 2012. Part of the reason: venture firms have been forced to take stock of their investments as consumer internet darlings like Facebook, Groupon and Zynga have been battered by the public markets.
Can Foursquare compete with Yelp?
Foursquare has been on the list of candidates for the 'next big thing' for some time, but the location-based service's future seems uncertain.
Last week, reports surfaced that the company, which has already raised upwards of $70m in funding, was looking for investors to provide an additional $50m to $100m of capital at a valuation of $700m-plus. According to TechCrunch, investors aren't exactly rushing to check in to a deal.
Facebook beats Wall Street's lowered expectations
Facebook has facilitated billions of 'likes', but getting Wall Street to like the business of running the world's largest social network has been difficult.
The company's disastrous IPO sent investors fleeing and Facebook's stock is still well off its debut price.
But with a laser-like focus on monetization, Mark Zuckerberg and company gave Wall Street reason to rethink Facebook's prospects after delivering better-than-expected third quarter results yesterday.
Will designers get a gold rush of their own?
There's arguably never been a better time to be a developer.
Looking for a full-time job? If you have the chops, they are plentiful, and if you're in a hot market, salaries are high. Not interested in the nine-to-five routine? Freelance opportunities abound and investors are still pouring big bucks into startups, with many focusing on backing entrepreneurial engineers who can turn their ideas into code.
But if all success on the web and mobile internet required was a few hundred thousand lines of awesome Ruby code, a few NoSQL databases here and there and a clever Amazon AWS-based architecture, there would be a lot more Facebooks out there.
What's missing for many companies? One word: design.
New Wall Street rules could bring big bucks to digital marketers, agencies and publishers
In New York, two thoroughfares generate huge sums of money each year: Wall Street and Madison Avenue.
For obvious reasons, there's a long-standing relationship between the two, but that relationship could blossom even more under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (JOBS Act), which was signed into law earlier this year.
Huh? Autodesk buys mobile video startup Socialcam for $60m
Investors are pouring big bucks into startups, and when it comes to their mobile investments, photos and videos are where it's at. And for an obvious reason: following Facebook's still-pending purchase of Instagram for $1bn, investors are hoping they can fund the next big acquisition target.
But predicting who will be acquired, and by whom, can be a tricky exercise. Case in point: today, Autodesk announced that it is acquiring mobile video startup Socialcam for $60m.
VC investment surged in Q2: report
The global economy may be facing strong headwinds, but in the second quarter of 2012, technology entrepreneurs in the United States probably didn't notice.
According to CB Insights, Q2 2012 was the biggest quarter for VC investment in the U.S. in more than a decade, and a record-breaking one too.
Five lessons learned from Digg's rise and fall
Social news site Digg was once one of the most popular services on the internet. An early social media darling, Digg and its founder, Kevin Rose, were the subject of numerous high-profile articles, including an embarrassing (and not-entirely-accurate) BusinessWeek cover piece with the headline How This Kid Made $60 Million In 18 Months.
It wasn't just the media lavishing attention on Digg: investors poured big money -- some $45m in total -- into the company.
But what goes up often comes down and as it turned out for Digg, the company's future was not going to be nearly as bright as its early years. Yesterday, the company's assets, including the code for the Digg site itself and its domain, were sold to New York-based development firm Betaworks for a reported $500,000.
Venture capital sucks, until you're offered $100m
If you visit Silicon Valley or New York today, evidence of the latest internet boom is evident wherever you go. The venture capital is flowing and startups are partying like it's 1999.
Is a bust right around the corner? Only time will tell, but for more than a few startups, all of the investor money is a distraction best avoided.
The biggest tech mistakes startups make and how to avoid them
Everybody loves a successful startup, but even the most successful startups generally overcome plenty of mistakes before they become successful. Unfortunately, for many young companies that don't win in the marketplace, failure is the product of fatal mistakes.
Like most things in life, mistakes aren't created equal, and when it comes to the mistakes that can really hurt a young startup, technology mistakes can be particularly pernicious.
Here are several of the biggest technology mistakes startups make and how they can be avoided.
AOL investors choose to stay the course
AOL's shares may be up significantly in the past several months, but the company's future is far from certain.
Under CEO Tim Armstrong's reign, the company has invested heavily in content. Last year, it purchased The Huffington Post for $315m and the year prior, it paid eight figures for popular tech blog TechCrunch. The company's tab for its homegrown Patch reportedly stands at more than $150m, with profitability nowhere in sight.
Pinterest joins the billion dollar club with $100m funding from Rakuten
A million dollars isn't cool. You know what's cool? A billion dollars.
The words made famous by the movie that dramatized Facebook's beginnings may soon be passé in Silicon Valley, as investors clamouring to get in on funding rounds for the hottest tech startups seem increasingly willing to put their cash in at billion-dollar valuations.
Crazy? Perhaps, but Facebook's $1bn Instagram acquisition shows that big valuations don't exclude companies from the startup lottery, at least for the time being.
The latest entrant to the billion dollar club will be Pinterest, thanks to a $100m funding round led by Rakuten. The funding round puts a $1.5bn valuation on Pinterest.

NGD's PUE 1.0 breakthrough will be available to customers at its NGD Europe mega data centre in South Wales from the first quarter of 2015 and will be achieved by harnessing the latest solar power and free cooling technologies combined with a 100 per cent renewably sourced mains supply. The solar power generated will offset all essential facilities energy consumed when operating customer IT racks and storage equipment to deliver zero cooling costs and enable carbon emissions savings of 505,718kg per year.
NGD's planned solar capability will make its 750,000ft2 NGD Europe facility one of the largest data centre rooftop solar deployments in the world. Following the final go ahead from NGD's Welsh government landlord the 4,000 photovoltaic (PV) solar panel 'megawatt array' installation will be capable of generating one million kilowatt hours (kWh) of free 'green' electricity per year – the equivalent usage of up to 240 homes.
NGD is also deploying the latest Stultz GE cooling system technology which intelligently determines the best mode of operation according to ambient conditions and data hall requirements. It allows the system to operate in free cooling mode for the majority of the year, only providing supplementary cooling in times of elevated external ambient conditions.
'We are committed to building sustainable data centres for our customers' mission critical IT services and therefore delighted to be the world's first data centre operator to offer the ultimate choice in energy efficient data halls,' said Nick Razey, CEO, NGD. 'We will ensure the highest level of resilience and stability is maintained thanks to our abundant 100 per cent renewable energy direct-from-grid mains power supply and deployment of real time energy management systems.'

With the Major League Baseball (MLB) season just months away, the Cleveland Indians aim to solidify its roster and are now looking at possible interest that could defend the third base plate.
The Indians have a young third baseman, Giovanny Urshela, but Indians general manager Mike Chernoff wants him to imporve and if he does not come spring training, the Indians will be force to look at the free agent market.
The team's website has posted that among the free agents that have caught the attentions of the Indians' management are veteran third baseman Juan Uribe and David Freese.
"We're looking at everyone. If there's a player out there who we think can help us, we're looking at him," Chernoff said.
However, Chernoff has not made up his mind yet and hopes to give their young third baseman a chance to prove his worth to the team.
Urshela performed well for the Indians last season with his defensive efforts, however Chernoff sees him being overmatched at the plate and fighting a variety of health problems. If the Indians defers to give Urshela a start this season the team has the option to send him to its minor league affiliate Triple-A Columbus to further monitor his progress.
With that, the Indians has another option of likely signing a free agent. The Indians could either land Uribe or Freese to a one-year contract to fill in the gap in their defense.
The 37-year old Uribe has been to one team from another, having played for Rockies, White Sox, Giants, Dodgers, Braves and Mets. The right-hand third baseman suffered various injuries and poor hitting back in the 2010 and 2011 season. He managed to regain his starting role and made strong contribution in 2013 and 2014 before he was traded to the Braves in 2015 and then again to the Mets in July of last season.
On the other hand, Freese, 32, was drafted by the Padres back in 2006 and was then traded to the Cardinals before the start of 2008 and won a World Series with the team in the 2011 season. He also anchored a 20-game hitting streak in 2013, but back injuries limited him and was eventually traded to the Angles after the season.

Conclusion: MEDSS Training
MEDSS is an all purpose electronic data tracking system that allows events to be shared, linked, and assigned for easier management. The system is person centric, so all information is organized around the person not the event or disease. The same person can be entered into the system with various diseases over time; each instance resulting in a different event in the MEDSS system. This is important to remember to avoid person duplications that can slow the system. The MEDSS dashboard is divided into four sections. The top two sections help navigation while the bottom two sections are for inputting information on the person and event.
Some important tips to remember:
- When navigating in MEDSS, do NOT use the browser's back button, use the Dashboard link on the screen.
- Save your work often- the system times out after twenty minutes of inactivity.
- Before adding a new event, always search twice by person and event.
- Wildcard characters (*) help searching for a person easier when a user is unsure which characters are used.
- Question package is a set of questions with a common theme. Inside a QP is where some data on the event can be added, modified, or deleted.
- Wizards show the standard data entry forms and may be available for some diseases.
- Demographic information can be edited in two different areas depending on the question: under Persons tab or in the Demographic QP.
- All cases' activity can be tracked under the Event Audit Trail Tab for data security and privacy protection.
- Recent cases button on the toolbar help organize and locate the past 20 cases the user was working on.
- Workflows, which are your electronic To-Do lists, and are updated by rules built into the MEDSS system.
- Tasks are to do lists that are created manually either by yourself or another staff member and assigned. You can find tasks using the task icon in the toolbar or by going to workflows.
- Print templates allow for some data from the QPs to automatically be updated on the document before printing.
- Reports are used to extract data from the MEDSS system and can either be viewed on the screen or extracted in Excel.
- Sharing allows cases to be open to different jurisdictions, but not all users have access to open the event for someone.
- MEDSS allows event, person and exposure location links to help with investigations.

Amanpulo was great! From the moment they received us at Manila airport until they saw us off. Was very impressed by the fact that we didn't have to sign anything while we were at the resort, every staff just knew who we were. Service was great all around, easy to get around the island with your own golf cart.

No, Warsaw should not be changed to reflect is state before the destruction brought about by the Nazis. Change is inevitable worthy in the wake of destruction, the city will never be the same as it was before and at this point nearly a century of new history has been created with the city on its present state. It would be better to spend restoration resources on essential services or infrastructure maintenance.
Warsaw can never go back to the city that is was once was before World War II. The city that it is today is Warsaw. It's history, it's architecture, it's culture is what makes up a city. By trying to go back to the 'original' state it discounts all the movement it has made since World War II. Incorporate the artistic 'improvements' as part of the city's history and move forward.
Building the city based on the artist's depiction of the city adds a unique element of history to the city of Warsaw. It is in the nature of art itself to express a personal interpretation and vision of what you see or feel. The artists painted the city as he saw it, or felt it to be rather than exactly replicating its appearance, The fact that the city has been rebuilt to match this interpretation adds a very unique element to Warsaw's history that should be celebrated.
There is no reason to change things back to the way they were just because of historical accuracy. If people are happy with the way things are now, there is no reason to spend all that time and money. Cities change over time, and it is rediculous to exptect them to stay the same forever.

TRC's Pop-Up Dinner with Fidel Gastro
|Photo credit: Kyla Zanardi (thanks, Kyla!)
How I came to get in touch with Matt was as a result of a dinner party with friends Stephanie and Glen; Glen knew Matt and spoke about how Matt had followed his passion for food, leaving the advertising industry as a writer. Being in the ad industry myself, and also having a passion for food, I envied the path he'd crafted for himself. I thought, "this guy sounds cool ... maybe he'd be interested in doing a special truck food event for TRC?" And so I contacted Matt. Not only was he interested, he had a great suggestion for how to take my idea and build on it to make it even better. About 5 weeks after our initial conversation, "TRC does Fidel Gastro at Loft 404" became a reality.
Our event took place at Loft 404 - The Ambrosia Hub. It's a space I hadn't heard of before, but Matt suggested it was an eclectic spot that would work for our event, and so I trusted he was right and it was booked. Eclectic is definitely the right word to describe it. It's a labyrinth of rooms, each decorated with local artist's works, a hodge-podge of furniture, and random nicknacks. The charm of it added to the event quite nicely.
Kicking it off the first of 6 courses was a deep fried cheeseburger with tomato jam and a quail egg over rare beef tenderloin with grainy mustard. Both were a huge hit. The tenderloin was seasoned beautifully and meltingly tender, while the quail egg was cooked perfectly and accompanied well by the sharp mustard. The cheeseburger elicited responses from TRCers like, "eye-rolling yummy!" and "really? Do I need to say anything more?!". The cheese had seeped from some diners' burgers (mine included), and the cheese selection could have ventured into something a little sharper, but all in all we were a very happy bunch.

Finally, we ended off our meal with what I consider to be a great street food take on dessert: peanut butter, banana and bacon grilled cheese sandwiches. It was a toast to Elvis, and The King would have been proud. By this point, everyone was quite full but that didn't stop the oooh-ing and ahhh-ing. As one TRCer put it, "it's over the top, in a good way". Perfect way to describe it.

TRC does Keriwa Café
My first experience with Keriwa Cafe as at Picnic at Brickworks in October of 2011. I'd heard good things of this Aboriginal-inspired restaurant, so was delighted when I happened upon their table at Brickworks. Their single morsel of bear meat with blueberry compote (I don't recall the specifics of the amuse bouche beyond these 2 ingredients) had me swooning, and eager to get out to give them a try. Fast-forward almost 5 months later, at the friendly nudging of friend and TRC'er Rob, The Restaurant Club gathered once again, this time at 1690 Queen Street West - aka, home of Keriwa Cafe.
Upon entering the smallish restaurant, you immediately get a feeling of the outdoors - but in a slightly polished, art directed way. It's a warm and welcoming space, where wood is the hero and the staff are happy to see you.
Our group of 5 started off strong with appetizers of mushroom salad with poached egg, confit of pork belly, and bison pemmican pasta. The mushroom salad was served cold - not exactly what I expected - and though I personally didn't love the pickled flavour of the mushrooms with the cold poached egg, two other TRC'ers had the dish and both loved it (one couldn't have eggs so didn't have the experience of cold yolk on the plate to react to), enjoying how the flavours came together, and particularly appreciating the red fife croutons. Side note: the red fife bread that came to the table prior to our meal was excellent, as was the cinnamon bun our server provided us to take home at the end of the night ... a delicious treat and a very nice touch.
|Mushroom Salad with Poached Egg
The pork belly was a real hit, too - the pork was perfectly cooked; crisp but moist, the fat rendered just enough, warm and melty (what? it's a word) in your mouth. Though you wouldn't expect a carrier to be the star, the bread 'pocket' in which you assemble the pork was incredible ... soft on the inside a touch crispy and salty on the outside. The accompanying coleslaw pulled it all together and brought the crunch and acidity this dish needed.
The bison pasta (which I had as a main; another had as a starter) was a perfect balance of ingredients. The pasta was silky and light, the bison tender, moist and flavourful. It was a rich dish, but the portion size was perfect to have you feeling satisfied without being stuffed.
|Bison Pemmican Pasta
Next came our mains: pork shoulder with beets, venison, braised bison, smoked whitefish, plus another round of bison pemmican pasta and pork belly. First main review: the pork shoulder. According to fellow TRC'er, "freakin delicious" and "rocked my world" were used to describe the dish. I have to concur. The pork was incredibly tender and flavourful; the molasses and beets worked very well together, and the crunch of walnuts made the dish texturally sing.
|Pork Shoulder with Beets
The venison was the evening's special - and special it was. It was perfectly cooked to medium rare making it meltingly tender - no small feat for this lean game. The veg accompaniments paled in comparison to the meat, however were [somewhat] forgiven on account of the magnificent meat (side note: I believe the berries were bullberry but I can't recall - either way, they were a lovely punctuation to the dish).
The smoked whitefish - which looked much prettier than my sorry photo below - was not only a beautiful presentation, but a beautiful compilation of flavours. The pickled beets were a nice complement to the delicately smoked fish. Our TRC'er loved the caviar crackling, likening it to 'little meringues'. The harmony of sweet, acid, crunch, acidy and creaminess made this a real hit, and the envy of those who failed to order it.
|Smoked Whitefish
|Bison Brisket
Finally, two brave souls had room in their bellies for the chocolate cake dessert. Both enjoyed the dish, but found the cake to be on the dry side (I concur). The fruit-chocolate mousse center to the cake was a nice surprise; more clever than the typical coulis topping. Beyond the moistness, the dish could have been improved by serving the cake warm, however overall everyone agreed: lovely presentation, good flavour combinations, and for chocolate lovers – total satisfaction.
