FlashFlo for Running
Verified Buyer Reviewed by Maggie from Maine on Thursday, May 25, 2017
I bought this for running as I wanted something without shoulder straps - it's getting hot and too many straps on bare shoulders rub and annoy.

Superb build and great fitVerified Buyer Reviewed by surfermike from Florida on Friday, January 19, 2018Bought this to use for short trail riding, +-10miles, works great and stays in place. Only gripe is that it started to loosen after a few jumps and drops by the end of the ride. Add a little wax to outer face of strap and it stays tight.
Sits in right spot on backReviewed by Dixiedip from Maryland on Friday, September 15, 2017Haven't used yet but tried it on and feels very comfortable on my lower back. Will update after fist use.
Quick service saved my race!Verified Buyer Reviewed by AikaneKai from California on Tuesday, September 12, 2017Thanks Sierra Trading Post! You saved my race! I had a SUP race scheduled in Hawai'i but my Lumbar 2 liter Camelbak was getting old so I ordered a new reservoir from Camelbak with plenty of time but they sent the wrong product. With only 2 days left now before departure, I ordered from Sierra Trading Post and received the correct reservoir and new pack on time and for a better price than Camelbak's price for the reservoir alone!
Worthless for runningReviewed by BennnnM from Wisconsin on Wednesday, July 12, 2017The hip belt on this is really bad. At a slow jog, the belt loosens enough that you have to tighten it every 15-30 seconds - not fun on a long run. I emailed Camelbak with the problems I experienced and have so far received no response.
CamelBakVerified Buyer Reviewed by NIcholeKristensen from Boise, ID on Tuesday, June 6, 2017Comfortable pack. Excited to use it for hiking this summer!
Good sizeVerified Buyer Reviewed by Denise from New Mexico on Friday, May 26, 2017Good size and ample tubing length - the only slightly annoying part is the strap loosens.

I've used it half a dozen times, and am very happy with it. My runs are anywhere from 40 min. to 1 hour 15 min., always on mixed trails, and I have found this to work very well. It's not distracting, it stays put. After reading the reviews I was concerned about the belt slipping, but it's not been a problem at all.
works wellVerified Buyer Reviewed by Anonymous from Pasadena on Sunday, April 9, 2017will add a magnetic connector (CamelBak part $12) to left side of buckle in stead of using the clip
Ummm can you just buy this already!Verified Buyer Reviewed by Ali from Utah on Wednesday, February 22, 2017I was so excited to see this little CamelBak and do not regret buying at all! Such a great little buy and it hold plenty for a hike along with your phone, wallet, or whatever else. it is also comfortable to wear. Good if you are carrying a kid in a carrier on your back or something like that.
Lumbar CamelBakVerified Buyer Reviewed by Selah Walker from Washington on Monday, May 9, 2016Second one I've own. CamelBak changed designed, this one doesn't slip as much as the older version, because they changed the belt and the bag holder inside the belt. It didn't slip on the marathon I just finished. And yes, it will bounce if your "fast" but if you walk or jog slow it doesn't bounce around. They changed the pockets, so the pockets are more upright and not slanted so if you open while "running" or walking stuff won't fall out if not secured in the webbed pockets. Not as much reflective piping on the back as previous model. I only adjusted my belt once during the marathon (this is typical because of weight loss during the race even with fluid consumption). I do not clip the tubing to my clothes, I tuck it in the belt so I can just pull it up, this works for me so I don't hit it or get tangled up in it.
I like this CamelBak because it leaves my arms/hands free for arm swing, I'm a race walker. I do not have any type of back discomfort from this CamelBak and I can carry my gels/cellphone/keys.

Identity of victim released in Douglas County fatal crash
DOUGLAS COUNTY, Ore. — Oregon State Police continue to investigate a fatal crash that took place on Highway 38 in Douglas County on Saturday afternoon.
Troopers and emergency personnel responded to a report of a single vehicle crash at approximately 4:47 p.m. on Saturday at Milepost 14.
Preliminary investigation indicates that a westbound silver 2004 Honda Civic, operated by Candelario Rincon-Hamm, 18, from Coos Bay, left the roadway for unknown reasons. The vehicle collided with a tree, rolled multiple times down an approximate 100-foot embankment, and overturned in the North Umpqua River.
Rincon-Hamm suffered fatal injuries and was pronounced deceased at the scene.
Fatigue and weather conditions are being looked at by investigators as possible contributing factors of the crash. Seatbelt usage is still being determined.
One lane of travel on Highway 38 was closed for approximately 2 hours, but all lanes of travel have been reopened.

Since we've been focusing on cheapish eats lately, I'm thinking this may become a series.
Last night, Michael picked me up from the SFSU library and immediately said "I'm hungry and I KNOW you know of some cool place out here to try. Where shall we go?"
After weighing the options, we decided to try out Miya's Place at 850 Holloway, a St. Louis Soul Food restaurant.
Its in a residential area and looks like a simple corner coffee shop. I had the smothered porkchop with mashed potatoes & greens ($9.50) and pink lemonade. Michael had the fried chicken, red beans and rice ($9.50) and a soda. They don't serve beer, wine or hard alcohol.
It was excellent. My gravy was lush, the thick chops were amazingly tender (not like the overcooked, thin chops at the Pork Store), the greens were lightly cooked & well-seasoned, the potatoes were fluffly (with a few lumps). Michael said the fried chicken was one of the best he'd ever had (only beaten by FC he had in New Orleans) and I believe him since I have rarely seen Michael gobble anything and he went to town on that chicken. I did get one bite and was very favorably impressed with the seasoning. The beans & rice were quite good. We ended taking my second pork chop and most of the beans & rice to go.
Our total with tip was $27.
Even though its all the way across town, this place is a real find, we'll definitely go back for dinner. FYI-we were able to find parking right outside, which is a big plus.
And I noticed they have both biscuits & gravy and hash browns on their breakfast menu so you can be sure we will be heading over for breakfast soon.

House Democratic Caucus: Oil Giveaway: Even in Unlikely Event it Works, Alaska Still Loses
State numbers show even more production won't overcome billions in lost revenues
JUNEAU - According to a new fiscal note from the Alaska Department of Revenue, Governor Parnell's proposal to give large tax breaks to the oil industry would still cost the state billions of dollars in lost revenue even if future oil production increases. Because producers have not committed to increasing investment, exploration or production should the bill pass, the administration used arbitrary scenarios assuming various degrees of increased production. No scenario showed Alaska making back lost revenues once the bill takes full effect.
"This bill fails if it works," said Rep. David Guttenberg (D-Fairbanks). "And if it doesn't work, and we've not heard any reason to believe it will, then it'll cost billions more."
The governor's bill gives the tax breaks without requiring any increased investment, exploration or production. Even in the unlikely event companies re-invest the tax breaks in Alaska and production increases, the numbers show that by 2017 Alaska will still be losing up to $1.4 billion a year.
In an effort to make sure Alaskans get something in return for reducing oil revenues, Democrats offered amendments in the House Finance Committee to only give tax credits for exploration or building production facilities. The amendments failed on caucus lines.
"Giving close to $2 billion a year to oil companies, when they won't commit to spend the tax breaks in Alaska or increase production, is a fool's game," said Rep. Les Gara (D-Anchorage). "That's why we propose a better idea - to help companies only if they spend money in Alaska for new exploration, and the processing facilities needed to put new oil in the pipeline."
The new fiscal note says that with a five percent increase in production, Alaska would lose over $1 billion in revenue each year starting in 2015, increasing to more than $1.3 billion in 2017, the last year the report estimates. Even with a highly optimistic twenty percent production increase, Alaska would still lose $828 million in 2017 alone. Factoring in additional royalties from the new production lowers the amount of lost revenue slightly, but the governor's proposal still costs the state hundreds of millions a year in best-case scenarios and over a billion dollars a year even with a five percent increase in production.
The updated fiscal note with the projections is here: HB110 NEW FN(FIN)-DOR-TAX-03-29-11.pdf

Fiddlesticks Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Hello everyone, I appreciate you taking the time to read my guide on how to appropriately play fiddlesticks and mid with him
Fiddlesticks is a great champion to play, he does insane damage early game, and due to his Drain he can stay for quite a long time in lane
Your farming is also great thanks to your Dark Wind, which will be discussed later on
Summoner spells
Why Flash and Teleport ?
-It's just great, whether to run away when getting ganked, or quickly catching your opponent on a break, also can be used with your Crowstorm to make sure the enemy champion is right in the middle of the ulti so that he can't run away
-Since you're going to be mid you can't afford going back to base and finding the enemy champion back and pushing, especially if it's an AD carry who can push like or
Greater Mark of Magic Penetration - Extremely amazing stacking with Fiddle's passive, Dread, at early game, gives you a great advantage over your lane
Greater Glyph of Scaling Mana Regeneration - Not great at early game but gives you more lane sustain and late game very important as you will start having mana issues without it
Other replacement is
Greater Glyph of Replenishment More early game dominance but worse than Clarity in late game
Greater Seal of Ability Power - That extra AP really comes handy at early game
Greater Quintessence of Ability Power - Almost fifteen AP early game, talk about dominance
As you can see my build runes rely a lot on early game dominance, because as Fiddlesticks you need to pick up as much kills as you can early game
Not much to speak about here, as you can see from the trees I'm really focusing on brute AP, and some mana and mana regen, that's all you need as a Fiddlesticks, trust me
Here comes the tricky part
-Fiddlesticks has many ways to build him, however I'll introduce you to mine, and I'll try to explain them as much as I can
Doran's Ring - Early game this is very important, 100HP, 15AP and some mana regen, all things fiddle needs early game
Hextech Revolver - This certain item you won't find anyone arguing with, very easy to get early game (Only 1200 gold), gives you 15% spell vamp, as if Drain doesn't do enough, and 40AP
Sorcerer's Shoes - I don't see why anyone would get any other boots, 20 magic penetration, combined with your marks and your passive that's a lot of magic penetration
Will of the Ancients - Instead of 15% spell vamp this will upgrade your Hextech Revolver to 25% spell vamp, aside from the extra AP, and comes cheap, only 900 gold after the Hextech Revolver, so why not raise your spell vamp at such a cheap price ?
Rabadon's Deathcap - I don't think I even need to say why, it's obvious that any magic damage dealing champion needs this, whether it's because the amazing passive or the pure AP it gives, you should try and rush this seriously fast
Morello's Evil Tome - This item is one of the best items for Fiddlesticks, 75 AP and 20% cd reduction, now Fiddle's ultimate, Crowstorm, is arguably the BEST ultimate in the whole game, and it's a great way to initiate a team fight, I will discuss it later but the cooldown reduction is just essential for Fiddlesticks
Zhonya's Hourglass - 100AP and 50 armor, nice, however, this isn't why we're buying it, this item is just a must have with your ult, you should see the look on the face of your enemies when they fight you suddenly among them, with your Crowstorm, and using the active of that item, which makes you untargetable for two seconds, enough to wipe down more than 70% of the enemy team's HP and the rest of your team will swipe them off
Other possible items
Rylai's Crystal Scepter - If you're finding yourself against a really strong team that's wiping you, you can always consider this, 500HP and 80AP is a really good thing to have
Abyssal Mask - 57mr, 70AP and the great passive of lowering the mr of nearby enemies (Alongside Fiddle's passive) that'll surely hurt
Farming and laning mid
-It's very easy for Fiddlesticks in mid, if you're against someone without strong CC, I myself have nightmares going against
in mid, nightmares, however I've managed to deal against almost anyone else in the game
All you have to do is farm the creeps in mid lane, don't expect to be pushing, fiddle is NOT a pusher, your Dark Wind is a great tool to farm with, try to use it when there's only like two minions around or one minion and the enemy champion to inflict damage and silence him while you farm quietly
Try to use Drain on the enemy champion, it's a great tool for health regeneration while frustrating your opponent in mid, I love the look on 's face when I use Drain and it keeps draining even after he turns into his pool, it's a charm
Try not to go back until you have at least 1550 gold for your Hextech revolver and the boot
I usually try and push as much as I can when I reach lv6 just for the mid against me to go base, then I'll try and gank top/bot using my ulti, I'll explain it later on in the guide, read the skills section to get a few tips
Skills and Skill sequence
This sequence allows you maximum damage with reason
Your skills are
Here's how they work
Dread is your passive, it's very simple yet very effective, all enemy champions near you have their magic resist reduced, which is quite nice
Drain your main offensive skill, basically keeps draining the enemy unit from his life while healing you for a certain percent of the health drained
Dark Wind Your crow strikes a designated target and bounces off to near enemy units, take notice that it doesn't favor enemy champions and have no certain pattern
Crowstorm MOTHER OF ULTIMATES, the best ulti in the game, basically you cast it into a certain area it it summons around crows dealing magic damage per second to all enemies in it
How to use your skills
This is the gemstone of this guide, HOW to use your skills
Drain has only two uses, damage and health regen, what more can you ask for right ? here's a few ways you can use it
1) On the lane creeps, if your HP is low you can always drain a creep for it's HP, try to aim at one of those big creeps or ones that have full HP so that you regain the most
2)On enemy champions, best used after applying Terrify to the target, as he'll be helpless and will most likely run after controlling his champion again
3)If your HP is dangerously low and you're afraid to drain a minion so that you don't get killed, quickly run to your jungle's wraiths or those three foxes and drain one of them, try not to do this at early levels otherwise your jungler might get pretty pissed at you
Dark Wind
I take this at lv2 and max it last, it's a great way to farm but not your best offensive partner skill, it's best used when the team reaches late game stages in team fights so that you make sure the enemy team gets hit as much as you can, also great to use when running after two champions, as it will keep hitting them both dealing maximum damage to both of them
This skill is great, either to attack or to run away, imagine running away after getting caught in the bushes (Won't ask what you're doing there :p ) and someone is running after you, you can always terrify him to apply fear and run away as much as you can
Also great to use in ganks and a MUST USE before draining an enemy champion
Ahhh, where to begin :)
The key to Crowstorm in my opinion is the element of surprise, I can't stress how many stupid people just cast it infront of you, it's silly, here are some great places to use Crowstorm at
1-At your wraiths, when their mid is pushing just use it from your Wraiths' spot to get over the wall to the mid, quickly apply Terrify then Drain, it's a guaranteed kill
2-When ganking to either bot or top (Usually bot if their top is solo, your ulti is AoE so you wanna use it that way) run to the bush at the river and cast it there, or go to the bush leading to the enemy's golems/turret and cast a bit after that, I usually apply terrify to the non squishy person they have in that lane and drain him, have confidence that your team can take out the squishy one
3-NEVER, I repeat, NEVER, start casting your ulti from somewhere where your enemy can see you, they will either run away or someone with cc like or with her ulti will render you useless, THE ELEMENT OF SURPRISE people
4-Your ulti is best used with , just stand there in the middle of their team with your ulti one and untargetable while your team goes after you owning the pieces the have left
Other useful info
That's pretty much all, I just wanted to share some extra pro tips about how to use Fiddlesticks :)
When getting chased by someone with low HP and you're really low on HP, try to run into a bush and stop, face him, apply followed by , and laugh while he dies
The jungle is a great way to health regen quickly without having to go to base
Your Dark Wind is great but you'll take time till you master it, but don't worry :), always try to use it like Brand's ulti, when no minions are around and as less enemy champions as possible
Champions that'll be great with you
There are some champions that work great with Fiddlesticks later in team fights, I thought I can mention some of them
-When chasing someone Nunu is great as he slows the enemy down using his ice blast and gives you speed using blood boil, with your terrify and drain that should be an easy kill
Also when using his ulti he slows down everyone and becomes the center of attention, giving you the chance to use Crowstorm easily and inflicting weirdly great damage with him
-Just imagine this, Amumu using his ulti stunning their whole team, and you diving in with crowstorm, if you can imagine this sight then you'll know what I'm talking about
-Although with Malphite it'll be harder than Amumu since his ulti doesn't airborne the enemy team for a long time, but if you time it well enough it's just as devastating
-That's all about Fiddlesticks, I tried to place my personal experience with him into this guide rather than the recommended and hyped builds/items, I find this to be extremely amazing early game and late game turning into a beast, my personal best score with Fiddlesticks was 29/1/11 and yes I did score a Pentakill on that game :) , my first and sadly till now the only one
-I'm planning to further improve this guide with other summoner spells you can use, other item builds and more techniques later on, this way my first guide, I hope you like it :)
-I would like to thank jhoijhoi for her/his amazing guide on how to write guys, thank you very much

The history of humanity is littered with a perverse fascination of catastrophe on a global scale. Is this pessimistic or could the disaster genre be the last remnants of a utopian vision? – The disintegration of our current man-made systems, making way for a rebuild…
Mass immigration has dominated the headlines this year, and the forecast for the future looks to further displacement as sea levels rise. In August 2015 NASA announced that by the year 2100 sea levels will rise by approximately three feet – this is now locked-in, our current technology can't prevent this. Certainly for my generation the future looks fairly bleak: no pension, a salary disproportionate to inflation rates, an education and health care system only available to the wealthy once the NHS is abolished. Our country's assets are likely to turn into commodities for a few, following the privatisation of schools, libraries, security services, fire brigade, health care, planning departments, transport… just wait until the House of Lords and Parliament are sponsored by Coca-cola, oil and arms dealers (yeah…just imaging). Many of our systems aren't working in a sustainable manner for the majority of the population or the environment.
Why turn to movies and computer games for a digital dress-rehearsal? These 'assets' allow your mind to work through survivalist scenarios – to build upon skills, be resourceful and negotiate zombies and gangsters. In the same way a person's subconscious may repeatedly play out scenarios of missing trains and falling buildings in dreams, first-player games allow a process of thought to be exercised. Their popularity shows that there are a lot of frustrated people out there.
In October 2014 a document housed by the National Archive – previously classified – was released for public consumption. The document, produced in 1982, described the Home Office's plans for the UK in the event of a nuclear attack. The public, for the first time, had access to the worst laid plans imaginable. Jane Hogg, a scientific officer in the Home Office suggested putting psychopaths in charge because "They are very good in crises, as they have no feelings for others, no moral code, and tend to be very intelligent and logical." Thankfully the HBO series The Walking Dead has shown the public that psychopaths do not make good leaders or companions. I do not believe that Hogg's idea to bring back the death penalty is going to bring about a better day for survivors.
Around the same time the document was produced the BBC aired a drama called Threads. Mick Jackson's post-nuclear apocalypse movie, scripted by Barry Hines, followed the formula of many in this genre – disaster, followed by wide spread horror, anarchy and martial law. Are these fantasies in anyway a realistic portrayal of what would befall our population?
Threads, 1984
When hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans in 2005 and an earthquake devastated Haiti in 2010, similar patterns were exposed by those on the ground. The governments were slow to react (but quick to gain PR shots and interviews to exhibit their concern), while aid workers and people within the communities did what they could with limited resources. Looting followed as desperation set in. After the initial media coverage, outsiders quickly forgot and focused their attention on the next headline. Spike Lee's incredible four-part documentary film, When the Levees Broke, released in 2006, captured the events in terrifying detail. It was horrifying to see the point at which starving and scared crowds tried to cross a bridge to safety and were met by a wall of armed guards offering no aid. Our advanced civilizations are not so civilized.
When the Levees Broke, Spike Lee, 2006
During the London riots in 2011, the city's fragility was exposed with the speed chaos spread. There have been riots before, but improved communication through social media seemed to escalate this one on an unprecedented scale. The emergency services and government seemed powerless as many small businesses saw their livelihoods destroyed. As with many uprisings in the past, an incident between a couple of individuals can be enough to trigger and influence disorder, and permanently alter the public's confidence in society's systems.
With these cases in mind, it is worth taking a first aid class, reading, watching and playing a marathon of appropriately morbid titles and being prepared to receive minimal support from the government in the future.

Well Done, Walther. Well Done.
I like this program. I like it a lot.
I like it because Walther is handing out money to ALL levels of shooters, not just the GMs.
Let's face it, a D Class Shooter getting a win with a Walther is a better story to tell your customer base than a GM winning, who'd be good with just about anything.
The bounties the offer are pretty darn good, and they're in CASH, rather than winning your your weight in free beer koozies or something.
Think of the free advertising this is getting Walther if you show up on a stage at a qualifying match shooting one of their guns:
"Hey, why the Walther? Why are you shooting that Walther instead of (insert gun brand here)?"
"Well, I'll tell you…"
Sure beats having a CRO mention your company's name in the stage briefing and tossing up a few posters on a stage. Cheaper, too. Congrats, Walther, you've just upset the practical shooting apple cart, and in a very meaningful way.

As of 2015, the cause of premenstrual dysphoric disorder is unknown, notes MedicineNet. Researchers believe that this condition occurs from the interaction between neurotransmitters, or brain messengers, and hormones that ovaries produce during stages of the menstrual cycle, such as progesterone and estrogen.
Premenstrual dysphoric disorder is a severe form of premenstrual syndrome and can cause extreme mood shift, states Mayo Clinic. The brain responds abnormally to fluctuating levels of ovarian hormones, causing PMDD, suggests MedicineNet. Studies have shown a relationship between this condition and low levels of serotonin, which is a messenger in the brain involved with the transition of nerve signals, explains WebMD.
Symptoms vary among women and typically occur in the second half of the menstrual cycle. They include sleeplessness, forgetfulness, mood changes and depression, states MedicineNet. PMDD may not be the cause of these symptoms if they do not improve with menstruation, says WebMD.
Patients with emotional symptoms related to the menstrual cycle should seek medical care. PMDD diagnosis requires a thorough physical examination and a review of medical history to rule out the conditions that may account for the PMDD symptoms, as conditions such as thyroid disease and anxiety or mood disorders may have symptoms of PMDD, stresses MedicineNet. Conditions to rule out include depression, endometriosis, menopause and fibroids, states WebMD.

Gauteng DestinationsParkhurst, Johannesburg
The lovely village of Parkhurst, once a rather dull lower-middle class neighbourhood with little more than its inviting trees and beautiful homes to attract visitors, has now reinvented itself and Fourth Avenue in particular has transformed itself into a vibey, trendy hub of activity where coffee shops, antique stores, décor boutiques and restaurants spill out onto the side walk, leaving little pavement on which to circumnavigate the crowds that make this their evening and lunch time haunt.
Now people seek to stay in Parkhurst because it is a lifestyle move. Neighbours know and greet one another, local shops and restaurants provide for much of ones needs and the price of homes has made Parkhurst a much sought after area in which to live in Johannesburg. Closely linked to Rosebank and Jan Smuts Avenue, and an easy distance from green spaces like Emmarentia Dam and the Botanical Gardens, Parkhurst is an ideal location.
Placed in the heart of the northern suburbs the way it is, one is able to get around the city and the northern suburbs relatively quickly, or at least your access is good, dependent on traffic.
Rosebanks malls, the popular Rooftop market and the African craft market are all close by, and Emmarentia Dam with its wide spaces and beautiful trees is a popular weekend and dog-walking venue for Joburgers. Youre also within easy reach of other popular villages in Johannesburg, like Greenside and Melville.

Date: Jan 27, 2010
Press Release Number: 3
|January 27, 2010---Yesterday, the World Trade Center Arbitration Panel reached a decision in the latest arbitration that Silverstein Properties (SPI) initiated against the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. In view of SPI's public statement on the decision, and to clarify the record, the Port Authority issued the following statement on the ruling.
"The Panel denied SPI's request for relief from its rent obligations to the Port Authority, meaning that SPI must continue paying its full rent for development rights to Towers 2, 3 and 4.
"The Panel determined that the Port Authority was not in material breach of the MDA, denying monetary damages to SPI.
"The Panel terminated the cross default remedies called for in the Master Development Agreement (MDA), relieving SPI of the loss of rights to Towers 2, 3 and 4 if any one of those towers is not completed under the current MDA tower schedule.
"The Panel ruled that SPI may be entitled to have the schedule for completion of the Towers adjusted, but the extent of the adjustment, if any, cannot be determined until a time in the future when more is known about the actual progress of the Towers and of the infrastructure.
"Lastly, the panel directed the Port Authority and SPI to return to the negotiating table and attempt to agree on a schedule for completion of the Port Authority's infrastructure elements and SPI's towers and that the parties should first attempt to agree on what structures are to be constructed by SPI and when, and if there is to be a change in the plan that alters either party's rights and obligations as established by the MDA, then the new plan and schedule should so provide and should accommodate that change. The Panel asked that the parties report back to them in 45 days.
"The Port Authority wishes to thank the members of the Panel for their hard work in reviewing and digesting an enormous amount of information.
"The Port Authority is grateful to the Panel for issuing a responsible decision that protects public resources while creating a positive environment in which the visible, daily progress on the site can continue moving forward."

Knowing how obsessed I am with beautifully decorated window displays, my super sweet friend F, who happens to be in Paris to celebrate New Year's eve.. le sigh!, has sent me these beautiful photos of Karl Lagerfeld's Christmas window display for Chanel at Le Printemps in Paris.
The eleven storefront windows paid homage to the designer and iconic moments in Chanel's history. They had 60 animated puppets on display like miniature Lagerfelds as a photographer, dancing ballerinas, and adorable PAN AM-like flight attendants dressed in elegant and classic designs from previous collections. I wonder how much effort and cost it would take to pull off such an amazing display!

Engagement with industry
Research Collaboration
- EngD projects
The Department of Biochemical Engineering at UCL manages an Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) funded Industrial Doctoral Training Centre in Bioprocess Engineering Leadership. The IDTC provides opportunities for collaborative research with companies via tailored one-to-one Engineering Doctorate (EngD) programmes.
Graduates work for periods up to three years at company sites while pursuing their enhanced doctorates at the UCL Centre. Under the EPSRC scheme each graduate works under your managers and our specialised staff. Over a 4 year period we will help to plan a tailored study of an aspect of bioprocessing including validation and development issues on which all these graduates are trained. Because they can also take courses developed with the London Business School they can also bring your company wider skills.
See how other companies are using the EngD scheme to tackle their research challenges.
The EPSRC provides about 50% of the costs of an EngD. We seek cash and in kind company inputs to match this and to provide the necessary costs of consumables and equipment infrastructure and will work with you to decide how best to finance the project.
- Collaborative Research in response to funding calls
e.g. from TSB, BRIC, Horizon 2020
The Centre for Innovative Manufacturing already has a strong record of working with companies on collaborative R&D project. It is keen to partner with companies on new projects funded by TSB, BRIC, Horizon 2020 and other agencies in all areas related to the Centre programme.
The Centre welcomes discussion with companies about potential research projects and will be organising workshops to help develop research projects in response to future funding calls.
For further information please contact Andrew Davidson.
- email@example.com
Knowledge transfer, training and access to facilities
- Knowledge Exchange Associates
Knowledge Exchange Associate (KEA) is a 3 to 9 month appointment to deliver a knowledge-transfer collaboration between a small or medium-sized enterprise and UCL.
UCL PhD students near completion or recently graduated PhD students can apply to become a KEA and apply, test or validate the research generated within their PhD alongside a host company who will really benefit from exposure to their specialist knowledge.
Although an employee of UCL, the KEA's place of work will be within the company for much of the time. The KEA acts as their own Project Manager for their collaboration. The project will be challenging and central to the needs of the company and its development
Funding for KEAs is administered by UCL on behalf of EPSRC and for SMEs there is no charge.
- Industry Secondments
Funding is available to support staff secondments to industry to apply research developed in the Centre and is available for academic, reesearch staff or PhD students.
The project specification is created jointly with the industrial partner to ensure benefit to both the company and UCL. The project is led by UCL.
Up to £50k funding is available and the project cost to the company is dependent upon length of secondment
Funding for industry secondments is administered by UCL on behalf of EPSRC.
For further information please contact Andrew Davidson
- email@example.com
- Knowledge Transfer Partnerships
Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs) supports UK businesses wanting to improve their competitiveness, productivity and performance by accessing the knowledge and expertise available within UK Universities. Projects should be focused on a company problem and have significant potential impact.
KTPs, from 6 months to 3 years, enable business growth and spearhead innovation through the creation of a collaborative partnership between a UK organisation and an academic team within a University.
The partnership recruits a recently qualified graduate (Associate) to facilitate the transfer of academic knowledge into the company. It is also possible to recruit an Associate with a PhD. Employed by UCL, the Associate works within the company and is jointly supervised by company personnel and a senior academic.
This is a very flexible mechanism for companies to apply research developed by the Centre to their problems and is funded by the Technology Strategy Board. The cost to the company varies according to company size, length of the partnership and the qualification of the Associate.
For further information please contact Andrew Davidson
- firstname.lastname@example.com
Bioprocessing Matters
News from the Centre will be regularly reported in editions of Bioprocessing Matters. Bioprocessing Matters provides regular updates on the activities of the Advanced Centre for Biochemical Engineering and has an international circulation of more than 5000.

Vodafone CEO "Very Happy" With 4G Auction
The outcome of the U.K.'s fourth-generation mobile auction, which has been on the drawing board for years, has made Vodafone Chief Executive Vittorio Colao "very happy".
The auction raised £2.34 billion ($3.58 billion) for the government, well below the treasury's expectation of £3.5 billion ($5.35 billion) and the £22 billion ($33.6 billion) raised during the 3G auction in 2000. The conservative spending should result in Vodafone and its rivals to spend more on infrastructure and better customer service.
Of the five winning bidders, Vodafone the world's second-biggest mobile operator by revenue behind China Mobile, spent the highest amount, paying £791 ($1,209 million) for some 800 megahertz and 2.6 gigahertz frequency bands.

Waltz Calls on Marine Experience for Sci-Fi Epic "The Last Fall"
IDW Publishing takes off for another galaxy this July in "The Last Fall," a new 5-issue miniseries from writer Tom Waltz and artist Casey Maloney, who previously collaborated on "Children of the Grave." "The Last Fall" is about a "war-hardened soldier who is finally able to return to his home planet after multiple tours, only to witness his beloved wife and son murdered by an enemy suicide bomber." The book examines the toll taken on a soldier when he leaves his family behind and his journey from devastation all the way to illumination — and ultimately redemption.
WC14: IDW Delivers the "Greatest Panel in the Known Universe"
Waltz, who also writes IDW's "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" ongoing series, recently chatted with CBR News about "The Last Fall," revealing how it was inspired by his four years as a Marine, hinting at a major "TMNT" on the horizon, teaming back up with Maloney and more.
CBR News: Tom, what is "The Last Fall" about?
Tom Waltz: Doesn't the title say it all? It's about the previous autumn. (I kid, I kid…) Seriously, "The Last Fall" is a sci-fi/military drama that focuses on Marcus Fall — a war-hardened soldier who is finally able to return to his home planet after multiple tours, only to witness his beloved wife and son murdered by an enemy suicide bomber. Bent on revenge, Fall voluntarily returns to the war in order to take bloody revenge against those he deems responsible for his grief — specifically, every single enemy soldier. But, in his single-minded quest for vengeance, he is exposed to devastating truths behind the war he has been fighting for so long — and learns that the true enemy is not who's he's been led to believe it is. All told in five issues with awesome artwork from my longtime creative partner Casey Maloney, with colors by Hi-Fi Colour Design's Dusty Yee.
What inspired "The Last Fall?"
Well, I spent a number of years in the military myself, including four years as an active-duty Marine. I was single and without children when I was sent to Desert Storm, but I witnessed firsthand how extraordinarily tough it is for married servicemen and women to leave their families behind — especially their kids (and vice versa — never underestimate how much the families at home struggle, too, when their service member is sent into harm's way). It was seeing this play out so many times that got me thinking about what a military person would do if everything they'd been fighting for was suddenly stolen from them and all they had left was the fight. It was this seed of an idea that ultimately blossomed into "The Last Fall" — which became equal parts tragedy, socio-religious commentary, love story, and action-adventure romp as I continued to plot and write it. That said, at its heart, it's one man's tragic journey from utter devastation to illumination and redemption.
RELATED: Eastman & Waltz Send "TMNT" on a "City Fall"
The best sci-fi tales like "Star Wars" and "Blade Runner" build a completely new world for their characters to live in. What's the world of "The Last Fall" like?
"The Last Fall" takes place between two planets — Merkonia (Fall's home planet — very much Earth-like with a futuristic feel) and the Planet Krovin (a desert planet where a pseudo-religious war is being fought). Events primarily take place in the present, in the Krovin war zone, while others are presented in flashback on Merkonia, providing the backstory necessary to show Fall's… well, fall… from loving father and dedicated soldier to hate-filled, cold-blooded killing machine. As for the planets, however, careful observers will quickly realize that they are fictional stand-ins for very real countries — and situations — in our very own world today.
What's your creative process like with collaborator Casey Maloney?
Honestly, Casey and I are like a well-oiled machine now. He and I have been working together for many years, starting in the early 2000s with our IDW-published creator-owned graphic novel "Children of the Grave." He and I actually started talking about "The Last Fall" shortly after "COTG" was published, when I first presented the basic idea to him. He was immediately intrigued and we both agreed it had to be our next creator-owned project together. But we never found ourselves in the right circumstances — personally or professionally — to sit down and actually crank it out. We both had bills to pay (that's life, eh?) so most of our collaborations were on licensed paying gigs. But we never lost our enthusiasm for the idea and when IDW green-lit it this year, we were both chomping at the bit to finally get it out of our systems, onto paper, and into reader's hands. It's definitely a passion project for both of us — matter of fact, Casey has been absolutely integral to the overall story, infusing "The Last Fall" with his own plot ideas — including much of the scientific/cosmic backstory we are providing. The long years we've waited to finally finish the book have given us ample time to bounce plenty of ideas off each other, not to mention the opportunity to build and mature our individual creative skills, and I'm confident "The Last Fall" is a far better final product as a result.
What sets "The Last Fall" apart from other sci-fi war tales?
I don't know what would set it apart (except, of course, Casey's cool new weapons and armor designs) but I can say that like all great science fiction, "The Last Fall" is, first and foremost, a character-driven tale that utilizes a futuristic setting to tell a very real and contemporary tale. In this case, a human tragedy that depicts Marcus Fall's personal journey through hell and back, and the many grim as well as enlightening things he learns about himself and mankind in general along the way. That's not to say we're not building a cool and/or expansive universe, because we ARE leaving the door wide open for more tales, definitely. We plan for "The Last Fall" to be a foundation for continuing adventures and future drama. In other words, if things work out, "The Last Fall" won't be the last.
Beyond the giant explosions and sci-fi elements — will Marcus attempt to fill the void of his family with anything but bloodshed?
Absolutely. The story cuts with a sharp, bloody edge. Fall's family has been murdered and there is no escaping the dark tragedy of that dirty deed… or how it has affected his psyche. But as the story progresses, we take the reader on excursions into social commentary, inter-personal relationships, political conspiracy and, eventually, much more enlightened and hopeful territory. A human tragedy (and celebration) told in a sci-fi setting.
How did Kevin Eastman come to provide a variant cover for "The Last Fall"
Honest answer — I asked him and he unhesitatingly said yes! Kevin and I have become very good friends over the course of our time together on "TMNT" and I can't think of a nicer guy in the comics biz. Hell, he's a great guy period. And he did a killer subscription variant for "The Last Fall" #1 — one I'm sincerely honored to have gracing our first issue. Look for cool sub[scription]-variants from talented folks like Phil Hester and Roger Robinson in future issues, too!
RELATED: Tom Waltz Feels Turtle Power in "TMNT"
Speaking of Kevin Eastman, you also co-write "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" with him. How's that going at the moment?
Oh, man, we just keep rolling along! I just finished writing the script for "TMNT" #37 and am already busy putting together the first parts of #38. Editor Bobby Curnow, Kevin Eastman and I have our hands full with our green ninja buddies but I know none of us would have it any other way. Working on "TMNT" has been an absolute joy and blessing in my life and I continue to be as excited now as I was three years ago when we first started. Our licensing partners at Nickelodeon are awesome and our fans are out-of-this-world spectacular. As for our series, we've got some seriously cool and surprising things planned for all our characters moving toward issue #50 — and that half-century issue's gonna be a doozy!
Any other projects coming up?
Oh yeah — I'm very fortunate to stay a busy boy in this business and count my blessings every time I sit down in front of my word processor. I have a new "Silent Hill" comic I'm working on with the talented Aussie artist Tristan Jones called "Silent Hill Downpour: Anne's Story," which hits stores in August from IDW. It's my fourth foray into the fog-shrouded streets of that haunted little town and I'm very excited to be on the adventure with my good buddy Tristan. I continue to edit a number of books at IDW (including my personal favorites "Ghostbusters," "Kill Shakespeare" and "Borderlands") and, as mentioned above, plenty of "TMNT" writing work to keep me occupied — including a special announcement I can only hint at now. Stand by, folks, and thanks from the bottom of my heart for your continued support of and interest in my work!
"The Last Fall" by Tom Waltz and Casey Maloney is out this July from IDW Publishing.

If you think you're scared by a trip to the orthodontist, think what your kids must be going through. If you've been looking for a way to break the news to them, and calm your own nerves at the same time, then keep reading.
When You Should Go To The Orthodontist
Some parents bring their kids to the orthodontist when their GP or a pediatric dentist tells them that there's a problem. But, the American Association of Orthodontists recommends that every child should go to the orthodontist when they're 7 for a consult.
This is because kids need orthodontic care for a variety of reasons, many of which aren't immediately apparent. Thumb sucking, accidents, tooth decay, even genetic problems can cause malocclusions and other oral health issues.
Why Straight Teeth Matter
Having teeth straightened, and other oral problems fixed, is important because it can make dental hygiene easier on the child, makes maintenance easier, makes reduction of wear on tooth surfaces less of a problem, puts less stress on the supportive teeth and bones, as well as the gum tissues, and minimizes the risk of jaw problems that might lead to headaches or other problems.
What Should You Expect?
Normally, your orthodontist will schedule a 45-minute appointment. During this appointment, he will conduct an examination of the mouth with a small, mirrored, tool. He will also take X-rays of the teeth and possibly a mold as well.
After he or she looks over the results of the exam, the doctor will explain them to you and discuss treatment options. At this point, you'll be given a fee schedule and recommendation for treatment.
You should ask a lot of questions. don't be afraid to ask about financing options or make it clear that you can't afford a particular treatment. The dentist should work with you.
Different Options You Might Be Given
On the higher-end of the price scale, your orthodontist might recommend Invisalign. This is an invisible brace that your child wears for straightening teeth. The benefit is that no one will really know that your child is wearing braces. The downside is that these can cost several thousand dollars.
And, they are also only designed for gently or mild malocclusions.
Metal or Ceramic Braces
A more mainstream option many dentists and orthodontists gravitate to is traditional metal or ceramic braces. Places like Rockefeller Center Orthodontics often recommend these as a more affordable treatment option.
Depending on how self-conscious your child is, these may be more appropriate. They are visible, so people will know your child is wearing braces.
One major advantage to these types of braces is that they are more adjustable, and they can correct more moderate to severe malocclusions. In some cases, it's the only appropriate option because it's the only one that will truly help your child.
When in doubt, get a second opinion. There's no shame in asking around and seeing another doctor. Most doctors will be understanding, too. They want your child to have the best care possible.

Problems on ages are the very important topic in arithmetic questions. Many of the written test exams will contain problems from this topic. This topic majorly covers questions and answers related to ages, and age differences questions of 2 persons. Problems on ages questions will contain age of one person, and some clue to find the age of other person. Some times ages may be given as percentages or by means of other things.

Colourful and quirky design.
As with all my pieces,it is a quirky representation of an image focusing on shapes and colours, rather than a life-like image.
It is an original mosaic design, cut, glued and grouted in purple on MDF circle 10 cm diameter.
The back is painted and varnished.
Although every effort has been made to avoid sharp edges, this piece is made from cut glass, so care needs to be taken when handling and cleaning (for the latter, a soft dry cloth and window cleaner is advised).

It was only up until a month ago that I learned that one could eat Beet Greens, those deep dark greens with dark pink stalks. Here is how it happened. I was in line at Whole Foods and this very handsome Frenchman behind me asked how I was going to cook the beets. I told him I was roasting them. Then he asked how I was cooking the greens. "Um, you can eat these?" I asked, feeling bad that I have thrown them away in the past. "Oui you eat them," he said with a handsome smile. "Ok Mr. French man if you say so," I said trance-like. He told me to sauté them up in oil with what ever spices I chose and now I love Beet Greens too. And trips to Whole Foods where French men teach me how to cook. These leaves are nutrient rich and a great way to get those deep dark greens into our bodies. The leaves are sweet like spinach but have the chew of kale. Stir fried with garlic and nutmeg they cook up tender and delicious.
Beet Greens
Greens from 9 beets, stems removed
2 T. olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 t. ground nutmeg
Kosher Salt
ground black pepper
Wash greens thoroughly and spin dry. I left my leaves whole but you can slice them if you desire. In a large pot, over med-high heat, heat oil and quickly sauté garlic but do not brown. Add the beet leaves, a few pinches salt and pepper, and nutmeg. Stir occasionally. Sauté for about 5 minutes stirring frequently. Lower heat to medium and cover pot for about 5 minutes. Recheck seasonings and serve greens hot. These greens do have more chew than spinach, mimicking kale so if you want them more tender cook a little longer. I personally liked them at the ten minute mark as I don't like my greens cooked into baby food. You be the judge, experiment a little. These greens are very good and not bitter at all. They are very pretty too! Serves 4-6
Now that you know how to Roast Beets it is time to take those lovely roots and turn them into Harvard Beets. Last Thanksgiving I asked my husband and parents if they liked Harvard Beets and surprisingly they all said yes. It is one of the ways I enjoy beets and hoped everyone else would be game. I took my MIL's recipe and another I found in Taste of Home and made up my own for a delicious and strikingly beautiful dish on my Thanksgiving table.
Harvard Beets
1 cup sugar
1 cup white vinegar, I used white balsamic
3 T. ketchup
3 T. unsalted butter
1/2 t. Kosher salt
2 T. whole cloves
1 1/2 cups beet juice, this is the liquid in the pan from roasting them
3 T. cornstarch
9 roasted beets cut into wedges
1 t. vanilla extract
In a large pot over med-high heat, add sugar, vinegar, ketchup, butter and salt. Place cloves in a coffee filter and tie shut and toss in the pot too. I used a tea ball to host my cloves, you can see it in the picture above. Bring the sugar mixture to a simmer and lower heat to medium and cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Meanwhile mix beet juice with cornstarch until smooth. After the 10 minutes add the beet juice mixture to the pot and stir for about 3 minutes until the mixture is thickened and glossy. Add the beets and heat through. Remove from heat and add vanilla. Serve hot. Serves 8.
Note: You can substitute canned beets if you would like, but fresh is the best.
Isn't that the prettiest color?
A Constant Source Of Entertainment: Children on Elderly
A few years ago I had a job in which I brought homemade meals to the elderly. One of my clients was 103 years old. I needed to drop off a meal to her by 6:00 pm and my boss allowed me to bring my children. Before dropping off the meal, I drilled my children on their manners and behavior. I also told them that this lady was 103 and probably the oldest person they have ever met. I told them who was president when she was born and a few other tidbits like she did not have a microwave, GameBoy, or a computer when she was a little girl. Or a car for that matter! They were amazed. The visit went well, my children were well behaved and my client enjoyed meeting them. Throughout the visit I noticed that Deven, my then 6 year old, was very pensive, quiet, and stared at the lady quite a bit. When we got to the car I asked him what he thought of the oldest lady he ever met. He thought for a bit and finally said, "Oh, I thought she would be much bigger." Kids.

Sharing the Love in Lamu
AiP's long-awaited project in the World Heritage site of Lamu, Kenya, got underway in November. With funding from The Genographic Legacy Fund of the National Geographic Society, the staff of the National Museums of Kenya was able to offer critical building conservation skills training at one of the most important historic residences in the Old Town. Work centered on the coral rag house and involved removal of inappropriate materials used in repairs over the years, repair of ceiling joists and restoration of lime plaster.
Preservationists in Lamu have been struggling with the loss of skilled craftsmen working in the community. Only the return of this traditional trade will assure that Lamu's signature historic buildings - which are the backbone of the island's economy through heritage tourism - will survive. Providing technical assistance to projects like this is just one way AiP is helping preserve the world's architectural heritage.Our Year in Photos
Check out our Flickr photostream to see photos from our 2010 projects. AiP volunteers played vital roles in the restoration of buildings in Albania and Slovenia this year. They were also instrumental in the restoration of the walkways at the National Historic Landmark Bartow-Pell Mansion terrace garden in The Bronx, wrapping up the project a full year ahead of schedule.
If you see adventure in your future, there's no better place to look than our 2011 trips.Intern Spotlight
Any organization is only as good as the people behind it, and we're pleased to welcome two fabulous new interns who will help us shine.
Nicholas Merkelson is AiP's new spokesperson and outreach intern. He holds a B.A. in Religion and Archaeology from Carleton College and an M.A. in Cultural Heritage Studies from the Institute of Archaeology, University College London. He has participated in archaeological excavations in Kenya and Spain and conducted anthropological research at the National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. Through his world travels, he has witnessed fragile architectural heritage in diverse cultural contexts, his key motivation in joining our efforts to conserve and restore these critical monuments to human achievement. Nicholas is also the founder and moderator of Culture in Peril, a widely acclaimed blog devoted to the discussion and interpretation of cultural heritage issues.
MacKensie Cornelius comes to AiP via Asia, where she has spent the last several years living and working and preparing for shifting to a career in historic preservation. MacKensie has a B.A. in Anthropology and Chinese Studies and an M.A. Anthropology, both from University at Albany, State University of New York. She has participated in archaeological digs all over the East Coast of the US and most recently, in Mongolia. She is keen to be involved with AiP because she knows the tremendous power of community driven projects: when a community can come together and preserve a part of their heritage it can be a catalyst for continued cooperation and change. She will be focusing on grant writing and fund raising activities for our 2011 projects.Celebrate the Season with a Gift to AiP
Did you know Adventures in Preservation is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization? We are! Which means that donations from US taxpayers are tax-deductible. As you consider year-end giving, please consider a gift to AiP. Your support means the world to us. With it, we can continue to restore buildings, renew communities and improve lives. It's easy to donate online or by mail.Conference Calendar

mothers day
Mother's Day 1990. I was 11 years old. At the age of 12 a child moves out of primary and begins going to youth Sunday School classes. I was a few months away from this awaited day when I would no longer be one of the children. This tough age of trying hard not to be a little kid, seeing the girls a little bit older then me and wanting desperately to fit in with them left me quite conflicted. That Sunday the primary was scheduled to sing for their mothers in sacrament meeting. I did not want to do it. I think I was so tired of being a kid. I wanted to be older or cooler or something. I told my mom I didn't want to go up to sing. Of course this didn't go over well. I don't remember what took place but I do remember finally going up to the front to face the congregation. I couldn't sing. I also couldn't stop crying. I just stood up there and sobbed, taller then everyone, standing on the back row, I couldn't look at my mother.
I wish I could sing a cheesy song to my mom today. My favorite was:
I often go walking in meadows of clover,
and I gather armfuls of blossoms of blue.
I gather the blossoms the whole meadow over,
Dear Mother, all flowers remind me of you.
Oh Mother, I give you my love with each flower
to give forth sweet fragrance a whole lifetime through;
for if I love blossoms and meadows and walking,
I learn how to love them, dear Mother, from you.
Mom, I'm sorry I didn't sing to you that day.

Dear Linda, I remember. You describe it well. Now we understand why so many children do not want to go up there to sing their last time. I wish I had let you sit with me instead. Actually Amanda did not want to go up there either, but we talked her into it as well. How foolish can parents get?? I loved the music you sent home from college. You are precious. I love you, Linda!

Linda, I forgot to say thank you for the beautiful song! It is actually my favorite also! It was as though you had sung it!

such an awkward time in primary for sure.
I totally relate with the corsage thing, I remember that. I think very few women actually had them, like maybe a half dozen or so. I remember thinking that they must be extra special moms or something. funny. My mom never had one. I don't think she liked them though.

Thank you for the words to the song. I got into Ask and started to type what I could remember from the Primary song. I'm going to sing them to my mom this Mother's Day.

Voodoo Vixen is one of my favorite brands, and I always keep an eye out on their new releases. When I saw that they had released new items with this amazing tiki print I knew I had to have it. It's one of those dresses that I want to wear to a Tiki Bar, but for now I'll wear it when I go and visit my parents. Speaking of Voodoo Vixen's new releases, check out how adorable this argyle print dress is.
Like I said on Saturday's post I spent my weekend with Michael, because it was our one year wedding anniversary. We had such a great time just spending time with one another, and indulging in one of our favorite activities: watching Wrestlemania. I know it's not something that someone would assume that I like, but I'm a huge wrestling fan and we even went to Wrestlemania last year for our honeymoon. I did squeeze in some time to go see my mom and enjoyed seeing some of our flowers start to bloom. She was laughing at me, because I love making wishes on dandelions. Who says weeds can't be beautiful?

Chicken and Waffles in An Alley in San Francisco
Psst…I can hook you up with a fix at a good price.
Primo stuff, too, bro.
This way. Come on. Come on. Down this alley.
In San Francisco, if someone beckons you down an alley like that, don't be afraid. They're just leading the way to Little Skillet, a lunchtime walk-up window serving Southern-style fried chicken and waffles that is indeed located in an alley.
Little Skillet, 360 Ritch St. (at Townsend between 3rd and 4th streets), a short drive from the W San Francisco, is an offshoot of Farmer Brown restaurant in San Francisco.
The to-go window is open Monday through Saturday, 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Get in line, then place your order for fried chicken, waffles, "BBQ pork sandwich," Cobb salad, or Red Velvet cupcakes.
If you're lucky, you can take your cardboard box of goodness to enjoy at the lone bench on the sidewalk in front of the window. Or do what most people do — grab a foam cushion from a stack nicely provided at the condiment stand — and cross the street to take a seat on a loading dock to chow down on your grub. Packages of wet ones also are conveniently available to clean your hands afterward.
After all, this is definitely food to dig into with your fingers. My two pieces of chicken and one waffle was $8. The Belgian-style waffle was dusted with powdered sugar and came with a small container of very good syrup. It was pleasantly yeasty, but not super-duper crisp on the outside, as it hadn't been made to order. On the other hand, the chicken was very crisp. It was seasoned nicely, too — just enough to give it interest, but not so much that you gagged on garlic and pepper like at some other more heavy-handed places. The breast was a little dry, but the dark meat thigh was wonderfully moist.
If you need a pick-me-up afterward, walk two steps next-door to Cento, a coffee window that serves fabled Blue Bottle Coffee, which the entire coffee-swilling Bay Area has gone nutso about. For good reason. Get it dripped to order for $2.50, and enjoy a rich, balanced, full-bodied cup of joe that doesn't have a modicum of bitterness.
Smack your lips on all of that — in an alleyway of all places.

15: sestinas, villanelles, a triolet, an ode, a chant, & a sonnet
by frank p martinez
This is the price your customers see. Edit list price
About the Book
This book is one part of an overall 3 year project entitled "Kollage 100+ Works, 2016-2018, Volume III". These "Meditations" are located on a DVD which is part of that book . These poems are written in various forms, some of which date back to the Middle Ages. There is no particular theme running through the works except, perhaps, the passage of time. The sonnets, in particular, can suggest a narrative motion forward combined with essential lyric qualities. This lyricism derives from an acute sense of the aural sounding of the phrases or motifs and their overall musicality. This imagistic framework combined with a reflective sense of time are seemingly what attract the author to these forms. The photographs and art work, all created by Martinez, bring a cohesiveness to the book as a whole and draw the reader into this alternative, poetic space. The stained glass on the cover (which was designed by Martinez as well) is suggestive of the ancient forms that are used to create some of these works.
