Good morning all. Any sore heads out there? I do hope everyone enjoyed their celebrations. Of course, today sees the dawning of a brand new year, and one that is ripe with tantalising prospects for gamers.
So, before we properly kick off another year of PlayStation Blogging next week, it seemed like a good opportunity to look ahead and pick out a few of the most exciting releases on the horizon for both PlayStation 3 and PS Vita.
You'll be hearing much, much more on all these titles in the coming months here on PlayStation Blog. In the meantime, feel free to start salivating…
The Last of Us
There are surely few more anticipated releases on any system than Uncharted developer Naughty Dog's brand new IP. Set in a terrifying post-apocalyptic landscape, The Last of Us promises a visceral, dramatic, sophisticated and hugely entertaining survival adventure.
Expected: 7th May (PS3)
Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch
The combination of beloved Japanese animation house Studio Ghibli (Spirited Away, Ponyo) and RPG specialists Level-5 is one the most tantalising match-ups in recent years. Even if the gameplay falls short – which it won't – this will be worth the price of entry for the majestic visuals alone.
Expected: 25th January (PS3)
Grand Theft Auto 5
This one needs no introduction. A new entry in the GTA series is a huge event in the gaming calendar and this will be no different. Expect the usual Rockstar formula – a huge open world, brilliant mission design, jet black humour and outrageous violence.
Expected: Spring 2013 (PS3)
Killzone: Mercenary
Guerrilla's acclaimed FPS series makes its PS Vita debut later this year, and will do so in real style, packing a true blockbuster twin-stick experience onto your handheld. We'll have more on how this is shaping up very soon.
Expected: TBC 2013 (PS Vita)
Beyond: Two Souls
2009's Heavy Rain signalled the arrival of Quantic Dream's David Cage as one of the gaming industry's true visionaries, and Beyond – the tense, action-packed tale of young Jodie Holmes and her mysterious supernatural companion Aiden – should cement that further.
Expected: TBC 2013 (PS3)
Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time
It's been a long wait for Sly fans since his last full adventure – 2005's Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves – but the racoon's return this year will be well worth the wait. Developer Sanzaru Games has packed Thieves in Time with invention, charm, and heaps and heaps of content. Can't wait.
Expected: 27th March (PS3 and PS Vita)
Tomb Raider
Crystal Dynamic's bold reinvention of the classic Tomb Raider series will surely be one of the big talking points of early 2013. Expect a surprisingly brutal origins tale, packed with some of the biggest set-pieces you'll see all year.
Expected: 5th March (PS3)
For my money, Tearaway's delightful reveal at Gamescom back in August was one of the highlights of 2012. Media Molecule's first release since LittleBigPlanet 2 comes bearing the weight of expectation but, judging by that lovely first trailer, surely won't disappoint. Again, we'll have much more on this one very soon.
Expected: TBC 2013 (PS Vita)
Crysis 3
Any Plus members out there who've been enjoying Crysis 2 of late should know that Crytek's sci-fi IP is one of the smartest shooters out there. The German studio has promised that the third entry in the series will push the PlayStation 3 to its very limits. Considering what a feast for the eyes its predecessor was, that's a very exciting prospect…
Expected: 22nd February (PS3)
2013 is shaping up to be a great year for anyone who appreciates a healthy splash of colour in their video games, and Japan Studios' gorgeous platformer, Puppeteer, is leading the charge. Take a look at our recent interview with creator Gavin Moore for more on this intriguing project.
Expected: TBC 2013 (PS3)
God of War: Ascension
It's a stoney heart that's not excited to see the death-dealing demi-god back in action, and Santa Monica Studio's forthcoming prequel promises to pack a mighty punch. Multiplayer is new to the series, but solo players won't be disappointed by the massive main campaign either.
Expected: 15th March (PS3)
Soul Sacrifice
Legendary Mega Man creator Keiji Inafune returns to the PlayStation ecosystem this year with a deep, dark fantasy action title. Expect vicious combat, complex multiplayer systems and some of the most gruesome creature design this side of Dark Souls.
Expected: TBC 2013 (PS Vita)
BioShock Infinite
Ken Levine's first outing since the original BioShock back in 2008 looks absolutely stunning. Swapping the iconic underwater realm of Rapture for the stunning cloud city of Columbia, Infinite promises to be one of the most fascinating, ambitious video games of 2013.
Expected: 26th March (PS3)
And the rest…
That lot isn't enough to make your wallet start sweating? It's just the tip of the iceberg. Aliens: Colonial Marines, Fuse, Until Dawn, Dead Space 3, DmC Devil May Cry, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, Dust 514, Injustice: Gods Among Us… the list goes on. Looks like a hell of a year ahead, no?

International Place is a 1.8 million-square-foot multi-tenant office and retail complex located in the heart of Boston's Downtown Waterfront, at the intersection of the historic Financial District and emergent Seaport Innovation District.
Reaching up 46 and 35 stories in two towers, International Place is an icon of the Boston skyline that stands as the city's largest office complex and has maintained its position as the city's premier business address since opening in 1987.
In 2012, the property was awarded LEED-Silver Certification for existing buildings from the U.S. Green Building Council.
Within the glass-enclosed courtyard, building patrons meet and relax amid full-sized trees, an inspiring ceiling-to-floor waterfall, and the many restaurants and retail shops. Ionic marble columns surround the lobby's perimeter and enhance the building's classic opulence.
The distinctive floor shapes of the cylindrical towers found only at International Place were specifically designed to maximize perimeter space while interior back-office space is minimized. Here, more people benefit from unmatched city and water views, energized by floors flooded with natural light.
International Place defines world-class business in Boston. This is where the best of the best in business come to thrive and interact in a dynamic and distinct environment.
Many of the world's most prestigious firms call International Place their home, including Citgroup, Deutsche Bank, Eaton Vance, Greenberg Traurig, JP Morgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, PayPal, Proskauer, and UBS.
10 minute drive from Logan International Airport
The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) bus is a three minute walk from One International Place at the intersection of High Street and Pearl Street.
5 minute walk from South Station with access to Amtrak, The Commuter Rail, Red and Silver Lines.
8 minute walk from State Street with access to the Orange and Blue Lines.
15 minute walk from Haymarket with access to the Green Line.
2 minute walk from Rowes Wharf.
10 minute walk from Long Wharf North.
One International Place is centrally located on the harbor side of the financial district in downtown Boston.
Consistently located within minutes from the nearest train station, all Servcorp Executive Suites provide excellent conditions for setting up a local or satellite office.
Building amenities:
Tourist/retail attractions:
Servcorp offices are located on the 14th floor of One International Place.
The 14th floor features oil paintings by various artists, including C. Roman and Van Matino. Roman imagined places in his mind where he would like to be and painted, and is best known for the beautiful colors in his palette. Matino is a Korean artist, who strives to depict harmony in his paintings. Matino's beautifully balanced compositions place light and shadow against a simple yet rich palette.
Facilities include:
Ask to be connected to the internet – How long does it take?
Ask if the provider is Tier-1.
Ask to be allowed to check download speeds.
Ask to speak to IT support: Are they in-house or a third party? Are they even in the country?
Ask to be given a phone number so you can try the service before you buy.
Ask for a phone rate card.
Ask to meet your dedicated receptionist. The receptionist is the front line of your business.
Ask about disaster transfer.
Ask if your phone extension can roam at no cost to other locations.
Ask if the wireless internet is secure.
Ask what kind of firewall can be set up for your network.
Ask to see the transparency code of the provider.
Ask if incoming callers can dial '1' for voicemail to mobile.

Tea for mucous
Hello, I am looking for a tea that will help with daily mucous. I have allergies to environmental molds and when the rain comes it sometimes kicks up my allergies. I saw a video and the guy said that Pau D'arco and thyme were both good for helping with drying up some mucous. Any thoughts on this would be great. The other thing that concerns me when I did research is that there are some side effects of Pau D'arco. Thanks, Jen

Soulcalibur IV Characters
What Nightmare and Siegfried have in common is their impressive power. Very simple two hit combos from Nightmare yield the damage of other characters' more intricate combinations. Be ready to capitalize on every hit with a juggle or follow-up strike that hits the opponent on the ground. Nightmare's unassuming Reaver strike ( + B ) is an example of the type of attack you should be ready to capitalize from, as if it hits as a counter it'll stun the opponent and leave the opponent open to whatever combo you can conjure.
|Nightmare is available by default.
|Key Moves & Combos
|Death Smash : : This is a pretty quick mid-hitting strike that bounces opponents into the air for a follow up attack, provided you hit them close. You also have the option of holding down B to move into the Night Side Stance where other attacks will juggle, such as the Phantom Splitter ( A + B During Night Side Stance ).
|Triple Grounder / Slash Cross : : These two attack strings start the same and thus look the same at the beginning, though they attack low and mid respectively, giving you a little low-mid mix up option. Neither series is especially quick, so these attacks are generally best for pressure, though if you catch the opponent with the Triple Grounder you'll have a chance for a ring out.
|Shadow Breaker Combo : : This extremely simple combo is surprisingly powerful. The first two hits are mid—a good thing—and leave the opponent on the ground. Hold down the second press of B to move into the Night Side Stance, from which a simple press of B will combo to pile on the damage. It's a very rangey combo so it's pretty safe against stubby opponents.
|Grim Roundhouse : : The initial motion in this attack is actually just the trigger to move into the Grim Stride pseudo-stance. The following K K hits mid and combos. It's a very fast attack so it's easy to tack onto juggles or to throw out to beat your opponent to the punch and hopefully cause a ring out.
|Ether Splitter : : When you're playing the 8-way-run game, Nightmare doesn't have an attack better than the Ether Splitter. It's not too slow, hits mid, and launches the opponent high into the air. You also have the option of canceling the move into the Grim Stride by tapping after the attack. You can use this cancel to stunt the lag on the Ether Splitter, continue with pressure, or to combo when the Ether Splitter connects. Simply canceling to Grim Stride and tapping B will execute a simple but damaging combo.

Event Title:
Sunday Morning Zen Retreat
07/29/2018 (Sunday) | 09:00AM - 12:40PM
Chung Tai Zen Center of Sunnyvale
Event Details:
Zen is a state of mind, a mind of calmness, stability, and clarity; a mind free of delusions and confusions; a mind in accord with true Reality. It is not a dull mind, but one full of infinite potentials. Such a mind is the source of wisdom; it is a state of true liberation and joy. To achieve the Zen state of mind, proper meditation practice is very important. Meditation helps us to focus, calm down, become aware, and begin to see things as they are. A properly trained mind is one ready for Awakening.
This Sunday Morning Meditation Retreat is perfect for people who have practiced some meditation and want to advance their practice. All participants are requested to observe silence during the day. There are four sitting/walking sessions during the day. Each session is around 50 minutes. Prior experience in meditation or in our Zen classes is recommended but not required. Free and open to the public.
Regular attendance at these Half-day retreats will help build a solid foundation and prepare one for advanced level of meditation retreats.

The agent for Browns rookie defensive end Armonty Bryant said his client was "remorseful," after pleading no contest to a recent DUI charge, the kind of trouble he said he was going to avoid after a college arrest for selling marijuana twice to an undercover agent.
Now, he plans to show up for the Browns' rookie minicamp this weekend, hoping he's still welcome.
"We're going on the premise that he'll be accepted at rookie camp and that it's all systems go," agent Marc Lillibridge told Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. "We haven't heard otherwise. Armonty knows the Browns are upset about this, and they should be. But he's determined to move forward and have a tremendous career with the Cleveland Browns."
With his plea on the DUI arrest, Bryant got what amounts to probation from the state of Oklahoma, though it doesn't violate the terms of the probation he was on for the drug charge.
"Armonty made a mistake and he's very remorseful," Lillibridge said. "He was very distraught and felt he let a lot of people down, especially the Cleveland Browns. He was adamant about getting ahold of [general manager] Mike Lombardi and making sure the Browns heard it from him. . . .
"He told me, 'I'm getting XBox Live and I'm not leaving the house,'. He said, 'having a few beers is not worth giving up my football career.'"
Probably not.
But a self-imposed house-arrest with a video game probably isn't the first step toward a productive career in the NFL either.
The thing Bryant's agent is hoping for — so he gets 3 percent of something instead of 3 percent of nothing — is that the Browns insulate Bryant and offer the kind of support the defensive end apparently hasn't had.
"As long as they surround him with a strong supporting cast, Armonty will be fine," Lillibridge said. "He's really a great kid who wants to do the right thing. Hopefully he'll be telling his story in eight years, how he got out to rough start and overcame it and had a great career."
Now it's largely up to the Browns, and to what degree they're willing to babysit a seventh-rounder who embarrassed them before he even showed up to work.

DeKALB – Mathew Tembo is working diligently to preserve the traditional music of his homeland, Zambia.
The musical traditions of Zambia suffered a blow from 1923 to 1964, when the southern African nation was under British colonial rule.
"It's because of how we have been growing up," Tembo, 39, said. "Especially during colonialism, when they said 'you can't use traditional instruments during church.' We know that when missionaries came to Africa, church and education were very closely related. Churches provided education before government started doing it."
After Zambia declared its independence in 1964, there was not a widespread revival of traditional music. Electric guitars and keyboards had caught the attention of young musicians, including Tembo, who was born nine years later.
He played reggae music until a trip to Denmark in 2004 convinced him to study traditional Zambian music and instruments. In 2007 he produced the first "Sing Our Own Song" festival in Zambia showcasing traditional music.
Tembo now plays a handmade wooden silimba, similar to a xylophone, and is studying world music performance at Northern Illinois University. He has planned a world music celebration at the House Cafe on Saturday, Sept. 22 to raise funds for his 2013 "Sing Our Own Song" festival.
Tembo sat down with MidWeek reporter Curtis Clegg to discuss the festival, his musical background and life in Africa.
MidWeek: Do you come from a musical family?
Mathew Tembo: It's hard to tell because in Africa everybody is involved in some kind of music. I spent some time in a village where every day people would come out and dance and sing. That was the only type of entertainment. Everybody in my family did that, but nobody has done music professionally.
MW: What can you tell me about the village or city where you were raised?
MT: I spent four years in a small village, but most of my life I lived in the big city Lusaka, which is the capital of Zambia.
MW: Where on the continent of Africa is Zambia?
MT: It's in southern Africa in the center of the continent. We have eight neighbors (neighboring countries) around us.
MW: Where did you get your passion for traditional music?
MT: In Africa, everybody is really into computers. People can make music in their bedroom with software. …In 2004 I was playing in Denmark at a conservatory in Copenhagen and we had a workshop where they were saying, "Why do you do the music that you do? Why do you play the music that you play?" They asked me, "You play reggae music, are you from Jamaica?" and when I said I was from Africa they asked me, "Don't you have any music from Africa that you can try to build on? Maybe come up with your own style instead of just doing what other people have been doing forever?" When I went back home, that stuck in my head. That year I started playing traditional instruments.
My band didn't want to do that because we were already popular and selling reggae music, but they didn't realize that my thinking had changed. I want to spread African music because I am from here, I am from Africa. We have all these musical instruments that people don't know about. …For me, my new goal was to preserve African music and to preserve traditional instruments and to encourage people to use them.
In schools, it's just crazy to me that school administrators in Africa talk about a lack of instruments. They complain about a lack of a pianos and say they can't teach music when they have all these traditional instruments around them.
MW: Where did you develop your interest in the silimba and other traditional instruments?
MT: Growing up like that, people think that the instruments aren't good enough. …You don't need that much money. You can make them yourselves and use them to teach music. That's the kind of thing we need to make young musicians realize, that the instruments are as good as any other instruments and they shouldn't be ashamed to play them.
The silimba is a musical instrument made of wood. …I used to teach an ensemble of kids in Livingstone, which is a smaller town (in Zambia) than where I was from. The people who ran that school organized a workshop where a guy came to teach us how to make the instrument and tune it. After that workshop I started experimenting and making my own. …Soon I had people coming to me wanting me to teach their kids to play silimba.
MW: I read that your third album was banned on Zambian radio and television because of its political content. What message were you trying to convey with that album?
MT: I wasn't really that involved in politics. The song "Awelela Mabunu" ("We are Colonized Again") has a line from a traditional song. …I wrote my own verses to the song but I used that as the chorus. …I was simply saying, "Let's be careful how we deal with (foreign) investors."
MW: I also read that your fifth album had a theme of confronting HIV and AIDS. Are there other political or societal issues that you focus on?
MT: I did an album with the first republican president, the first president after we became independent from being a British colony, Dr. (Kenneth) Kaunda, who is also involved in music. After he retired from politics he got involved in HIV/AIDS because it is a big problem in Africa. He did two songs on my album.
MW: Is the reggae music in Africa the same as the reggae music in America, with a heavy Caribbean influence?
MT: It is mostly the same. The main characteristic of reggae music is simply the offbeat rhythm. …We have that in Africa too, but we should not forget that there is also this traditional music happening in Africa. In Jamaica it's different because these people are trying to rediscover their music.
MW: Did you grow up with an appreciation for these instruments for their spiritual qualities?
MT: I started to study music as a rasta, like reggae. It was kind of religious for me when I started. For me, music is for entertainment but most of all it should be there to spread good messages, like love and making people conscious about problems.
We used music for a lot of purposes. One of the biggest things was communication between human beings and our creator. …One of the ceremonies was after every harvest, people would sit under a tree, cook food, brew beer and play music. The idea was to give thanks to the creator for giving them food. …Funerals have their own music, and you couldn't sing that music anywhere else. Weddings had their own music too, and there was also music for healing.
MW: What brought you to the United States, and specifically to DeKalb?
MT: I came here because of school. I go to school at NIU. …I didn't want to do classical music, I wanted to keep doing what I was doing. When I started searching for programs in world music, there are very few places that offer world music programs. …Berkeley has a program, but they don't have a master's program. I already have a bachelor's so I thought that would be a waste of time.
MW: What are you studying at NIU?
MT: I am getting my master's in world music performance. …We have an Africa ensemble now that I direct, that I started when I got here.
MW: What are your plans once you graduate?
MT: I'm thinking after this, I want to focus more on the festival that I do in Zambia. The other thing I want to do is go around Zambia and collect traditional musical instruments and play and record music.
MW: Have you found an enthusiastic audience for your music here in the United States?
MT: People are excited when you present it, but what I noticed is that not many people know about African music, which makes me think that I need to do more. One man alone cannot do what needs to be done, but if I can contribute something I'll be glad to do that. I feel like, as an individual, I should go out and perform more and educate people about the music. People love it once they listen to it, but not that many people have been exposed to that kind of music.
MW: What can you tell me about the Sing Our Own Song music festival?
MT: We are calling it a world music celebration. There are going to be a lot of world music ensembles. The NIU steel band will be performing, the Chinese ensemble will be performing, the Middle Eastern ensemble will be performing, and Afro pop, the group that I direct, will be performing. It's just a celebration of all this world music we have around DeKalb. It is to raise money for the festival back home called Sing Our Own Song. …There is a lot of music in DeKalb and at NIU. I know we have all these recitals but I think just coming together and sharing the experience is much more important. I don't know why we don't have more world music in DeKalb when there is all of this music going on at NIU. I think the community should take advantage of that.
MW: How much money do you hope to raise for the festival in Zambia next year?
MT: We have made the contribution at the door very low, $6 for non-students and $3 for students. …I have done the concert in Africa before with zero budget, but right now our budget is around $1,500 for advertising and hiring (renting) of equipment.
MW: From what I understand, the 2013 festival will be the seventh. How did you get started?
MT: After I started playing traditional instruments, I think I got thinking more and more about how I can promote traditional instruments and get other people to play them. I started talking to a few of my musician friends about it, and people liked it. The first year, in 2007, three other bands in Zambia performed. One band had traditional instruments. The other two bands didn't play traditional instruments, but they played traditional music on guitars. …People supported it, and it was packed. Then we decided to have it every year.
MW: Do you perform solo or with a band?
MT: I'll be playing with the Afro pop ensemble (at the House Cafe), but it just depends on the nature of the gig. If they want a solo gig or a small performance, I will just go and play. But I prefer to play with a bigger band.
MW: What have you learned at NIU that you will take back to Africa with you?
MT: I want to think that what I am going to use most from that learning experience is going to be how (music) is taught. I have also learned about jazz – most of the people that play in the Afro pop ensemble are jazz musicians, so just having jazz people play African music is the best thing that happened to the music.
MW: Were you exposed to jazz in Zambia?
MT: Not really. We don't have a big jazz tradition. People play jazz in hotels, but it's rare to find jazz outside those hotels.
MW: I read that you teach music to children in Zambia. Have you thought about teaching music in the United States?
MT: The training that I did was for teaching high school students, so I taught at a high school for two years after I graduated and then I have taught workshops where I teach kids how to play music. I remember once I was hired to train elementary school kids to play together in an ensemble. I did that for a year or two, so I have been teaching in between performing.
On the record ... with Mathew Tembo

Taylor Swift Spills Thoughts on Future of Music, Describes 'Love Affair' With Fans
There are few artists that have had the success Taylor Swift has seen in her 24 years of life. With the music industry changing in new ways, the superstar takes to her trusty pen and paper to open up about what it means to be a modern artist, honing in on what she dubs her "love affair" with fans.
Swift spills her thoughts in an opinion article in the Wall Street Journal. She admits that to her, the music industry is not 'dying.' Instead, she says, "it's just coming alive."
While album sales are going down, the ever-motivated optimist who nabbed the only triple Platinum album of 2012 with 'Red,' says it should challenge artists to work harder, breaking through to an emotional level with fans that will hopefully translate into higher record sales.
And one thing Swift relies on to keep her fans close? Surprise. "I think forming a bond with fans in the future will come in the form of constantly providing them with the element of surprise. No, I did not say 'shock'; I said 'surprise.' I believe couples can stay in love for decades if they just continue to surprise each other, so why can't this love affair exist between an artist and their fans?" she asks.
Indeed, the 'Love Story' hitmaker looks at life through the lens of a romantic, from her personal love relationships, to her approach toward music and the millions of Swifties rooting for her.
She continues, "My generation was raised being able to flip channels if we got bored, and we read the last page of the book when we got impatient. We want to be caught off guard, delighted, left in awe. I hope the next generation's artists will continue to think of inventive ways of keeping their audiences on their toes, as challenging as that might be."
The songstress definitely keeps her audience on their toes. Swift invited surprise special guests to her stadium Red Tour, always giving fans a reason to cheer and scream in disbelief, whether Jennifer Lopez, Tegan and Sara, Ellie Goulding, or Hunter Hayes graced the stage.
As times change and the world continues to modernize, Swift is accepting these shifts in stride. And that includes trading Sharpies for selfies. "There are a few things I have witnessed becoming obsolete in the past few years, the first being autographs," she explains. "I haven't been asked for an autograph since the invention of the iPhone with a front-facing camera. The only memento 'kids these days' want is a selfie. It's part of the new currency, which seems to be "how many followers you have on Instagram."
A day after being published, Swift's op-ed piece is the water cooler chatter in offices everywhere. Mark up this new venture as a columnist as another success for the singer.

What can make taking a bath at the end of a long day a fun experience? How about ice cream? ME! Bath can turn an ordinary bath into an ice cream sundae. Who wouldn't like that?
Meet Bath Ice Cream, a bath bomb. These fizzy scoops of bath goodness contain essential oils, salts and minerals to turn your bath into a spa-like experience. There's a big variety of flavors available like Coconut Cove, Gin Martini, Amber Waves and Vanilla Berry Ambrosia. You might find yourself having a hard time deciding which one to choose. My personal favorite was Strawberry Kiwi, the combination of the two fruits was refreshing and it turned the water red like Koolaid. That and the fizziness made me feel like a kid again. While the water wasn't as soft as I had expected it to be, these still left my skin moisturized.
There's also Shower Sherbert body scrub. I really liked this product a lot. While I am all about exfoliation (I really, really am), some scrubs are a bit too harsh to use on a daily basis. I found this scrub to be gentle enough that I could use it every day if I wanted to. This also left my skin feeling really soft, this is where the vitamin E and jojoba oil in the scrub do their thing. I was happy to find that my skin was not greasy and overly moisturized at all. It also left my skin well scented, this scent lasted quite awhile… I didn't even need to put on perfume that day.
Dessert doesn't end there, there's also a rich body cream called Body Icing and Ice Cream Sandwiches… all great ingredients for an Ice Cream Pedicure. It's great to see a company make products that are as fun and pampering at the same time.

America's Most Beautiful Roadster Competition
One minute ago, America's Most Beautiful Roadster for 2010 was revealed. The winner is "Possessed," the beautiful '33 roadster owned by Mike and Dianna Dingman and built by Scott's Hot Rods and Customs in Oxnard, California.
There was a little drama on Friday, as the Scott's crew was delayed in finishing their rotating display and getting the car set up in time to be eligible for the competition. Patience paid off in the end, as the deep copper-colored '33 took top honors.
The concept behind the design was to blend the car Ford built in 1933 with the designs employed by European coachbuilders of the same era. Every component of the body is handbuilt. The engine is a highly-modified injected 392-inch Ford. The project began two years ago, almost to the day, and ends in the best way imaginable.
Congratulations to the Dingmans and to the crew at Scott's, and to everyone involved with creating America's Most Beatiful Roadster.
America's Most Beautiful Roadster Competition
Hello America. It's great to be back in Pomona for the 61st Annual Grand National Roadster Show. Mother Nature is smiling today and the Southern California storms ended a few days before set-up day, providing nothing but sunshine today.
Check out these roadsters competing for the AMBR trophy-the best of the best. And check back to this website all weekend, because we'll be continuing to bring you updates from the show
We're looking forwarding to three great days. We just got out of the main building where the contenders for the big prize, America's Most Beautful Roadster, have been setting up. The variety is as good as ever, but, as with last year, we've noticed a move back toward traditionally-styled rods-and Deuces are where it's at evidently.
Cover Cars That Made A Difference
We're kind of proud how well our display building at the Grand National Roadster Show turned out. Street Rodder and Rod & Custom shared the gallery building next to the Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum and filled it with more than 30 hot rods and customs from our combined histories. The Cover Cars That Made A Difference display highlighted everything from the Chuck Price roadster that decorated the first R&C cover in May 1953 to Kookie Car clone that will be appearing on the cover of Street Rodder's May 2010 issue.
Trucks and Ts and A Few Other Treats
It's lunchtime on Saturday at the 2010 Grand National Roadster Show. The mellow mood of Friday has been replaced by a sea of spectators on Saturday. Here we are in Building 6, which has been designated the Motorcycle Building. It's filled with some wild custom bikes, but we were drawn to the opposite end, where we found more show vehicles. As you can see, there were lots of custom pickup trucks, and quite a few T-buckets in the mix. Here are a few of the ones that our camera liked the best.here.
The Suede Palace
The party at the north end of the show was in Building 22, known this weekend as The Suede Palace. The Grand National Roadster Show designates this building specifically for hot rods built the way they used to, meaning in the garage, on a paycheck budget, and in the style of the '40s, '50s, and early '60s-as well as vendors catering to this segment of the hot rod hobby. Separate awards are presented here; they are custom built and winners are selected by participating vendors and clubs. Suede Palace activities include live music and the pin-up contest on Satuday evening. Alex "Axle" Itzardi does a great job organizing this event within an event.
The Show Outdoors
In addition to all the show cars in the various display buildings, the grounds of the Los Angeles County Fairplex were packed with Southern California's nicest hot rods, customs, classic trucks, musclecars, and race cars, all part of the GNRS Drive-In. This is the fifth year that vehicles have been displayed outdoors at the Grand National Roadster Show, and beautiful weather and hundreds of beautiful rides made this a hugely popular part of the event. Here is a small sample of some of what was showing outside.
History of the Race Car
One of the highlights of the Grand National Roadster Show was the "History of the Race Car" exhibit, a huge collection of historical cars from virtually every area of motorsports, including our favorites from the lakes, the salt, and the dragstrip. Some are ancient, some are more current, but all are breathtaking and the whole room was amazingly arranged with sights and sounds from automotive competition. This is only a fraction of the racing icons on display.
Buzz Cars
At every event, there are always a bunch of cars that create a buzz-the cars you hear being mentioned wherever you go. There are many such "buzz cars" here at the GNRS, including the sample shown here.

Jumping around to reggae music wasn't the only dance-related program from a couple of weeks ago. Panka also had a recital for her dance group at ovoda (preschool). Each week she goes to a traditional Hungarian dance class (néptánc) for 1 hour, and her group was part of a big program featuring children's dance groups from all around Budapest.
Panka and her group had a lot of fun. They gathered in a classroom at the school where the recital was held and all dressed up in their colorful outfits. They played and ate and did there hair, and when the time came, kids and families all made there way to the activity room for their chance to perform. The kids danced for about 5 minutes — lots of twirling, spinning, clapping, kicking and stomping (no injuries were reported).

Jersey Township trustees Monday, Dec. 3, requested more information from the city of New Albany on an annexation agreement that includes revenue sharing for the township.
Jersey Township trustees Monday, Dec. 3, requested more information from the city of New Albany on an annexation agreement that includes revenue sharing for the township.
"We need clarification on the section of Ohio Revised Code (to be cited) and on the profit sharing and such," said Derek Myers, a Jersey Township trustee.
Trustees were expected to vote on the agreement during the Monday meeting. Instead, they requested the city provide more information for a future trustees meeting.
New Albany City Council on Nov. 27 approved a resolution authorizing the city manager to enter into the annexation agreement with Jersey Township for 43.1 acres north of state Route 161 and southeast of the extension of Smith's Mill Road, east of Beech Road.
The land would remain in Jersey Township and in Licking County after the annexation into the city.
New Albany City Manager Joseph Stefanov said the agreement is similar to other annexation agreements, except in this one the township would receive 50 percent of the incremental increase of property-tax revenues on the land for 15 years.
The incremental revenue would be tied to a tax-increment-financing district on the land.
A TIF is an economic-development mechanism available to local governments to finance public infrastructure improvements and, in certain circumstances, residential rehabilitation, according to the Ohio Department of Development.
A TIF works by locking in the taxable worth of real property at the value it holds at the time the authorizing legislation was approved, thus diverting the incremental revenue to the designated uses.
Myers said the revenue might be needed in the future to offset increased road maintenance costs and fire service costs.
New Albany and Jersey Township would share road maintenance.
Jersey Township contracts with the Monroe Township Fire Department to provide emergency services, which would not change.
Trustees requested the information to ensure all the documentation is clear, Myers said.
The 43 acres are owned by MBJ Holdings, but the annexation was requested by the New Albany Co., the area's largest developer.
If the annexation request clears the trustees, it must be approved by the Licking County commissioners.
If the commissioners approve, they have 60 days to return the legislation to New Albany City Council for approval.
Stefanov said the annexation agreement is similar to other recent agreements, except that it stipulates New Albany would share 50 percent of the incremental increases on the land's property-tax revenue for 15 years.
Stefanov said Jersey Township had requested a percentage of the TIF revenue to help with potentially increasing costs for road maintenance and fire service.
"We're already picking up some traffic and seeing some deterioration of the roads," Myers said. "We're trying to leverage the cost to the township as much as possible."
Myers said Jersey Township has applied for state funding to repair Beech Road north of New Albany's Personal Care and Beauty Campus, which is generating traffic that heads north into the township.
New Albany already has other revenue-sharing agreements in place for the 43 acres.
If any new businesses build on the land, the city would collect income taxes from the employees.
The income-tax revenue would be divided, with 30 cents of every dollar going to the New Albany Community Authority to pay off debt incurred to develop the local business parks.
The other 70 cents would be split equally between the city and the school district with jurisdiction over the area.
New Albany Mayor Nancy Ferguson asked how much revenue the TIF could generate.
Stefanov said the revenue would be minimal. He said land annexed into the city comes zoned as agricultural. Even if the land were changed to a commercial zoning, the value of the property would not increase much until it was developed.
Stefanov said incentives are used to encourage companies to build in the city. Tax abatements, for example, allow companies to defer the payment of a portion of property taxes for the term of the abatement.
Stefanov said if an abatement were offered to a prospective business and Jersey Township received less property-tax revenue because of it, the TIF revenue would help the township until the property-tax abatements expire.

(CNN) -- Raise your hand if you spent this weekend binge-watching "House of Cards"?
Join the club. From the leader of the free world to celebs, it appeared that Valentine's Day weekend was for lovers of season two of the hit Netflix series. The show, about the devious machinations of Washington politician Francis Underwood and his wife, Claire, played by Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright, has a devoted fan base that eagerly awaited the release of the new season on Friday -- and many of them watched all 13 episodes over the weekend.
President Barack Obama is so into the show that he tweeted right before the release, "No spoilers, please." Don't worry Mr. President, Netflix has you covered. They offered up the Spoiler Foiler, which blocks any danger words in Twitter timelines that might reveal too much.
Tomorrow: @HouseOfCards. No spoilers, please.— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) February 13, 2014
Trust us, such a thing is needed from the first episode on (no spoilers here, we promise).
Celeb fans couldn't resist getting in on the binge. "Teen Wolf" star Melissa Ponzio tweeted about a new addition to the show with "can i tell you how much i love Cashew?! shes gonna make everyone pay!! @HouseofCards omg #HouseOfCards."
Musician Questlove can be found most late weeknights playing drums in Jimmy Fallon's house band, but this weekend was all about the Netflix show for him. He tweeted, "oh what have you done to me @HouseofCards."
can i tell you how much i love Cashew?! shes gonna make everyone pay!! @HouseofCards omg #HouseOfCards— Melissa Ponzio (@MelissaPonzio1) February 16, 2014
oh what have you done to me @HouseofCards.— Questlove Jenkins (@questlove) February 16, 2014
CNN even gets in on the game with a few personalities making cameos in the series. CNN's Jake Tapper congratulated Ashleigh Banfield for her interview with Claire Underwood on the show by tweeting ".@CNNAshleigh nice get with Vice President Underwood's wife."

Thanks to Foodbuzz for letting me into SF Chefs 2010 and setting up an interview with Chef Kory Stewart of Americano restaurant.
I was able to walk around the SF Chefs tent before going to the demo and the interview and it was really awesome to see and taste the food and wine offered in the bay area.
The cooking demo with Chef Kory was great-it was about mozzarella and ricotta cheese. We tried the fresh mozzarella, served with bread and tomato; it was delicious. He also made fried squash blossoms that were stuffed with the ricotta and some Parmesan cheese. I had not tried squash blossom before (though I've seen them at the farmer's market) and they were good, too.
It was my first interview that I had with a chef (in which I was the interviewer and not the interviewee) I wasn't sure what to ask, but I think I did alright (I got some inspiration from Bon Appetit magazine)…
What is your fondest memory from being in the kitchen as a child?
Cooking with grandma, and eating tortillas with hot butter.
What advice could you give to aspiring chefs?
Stay focused; learn as much as you can with as many people as you can. Don't under estimate who you can learn from.
As an aspiring pastry chef, I need to know, what is your favorite dessert?
Good question. Fruit Crisps.
What's your comfort food?
What is your most memorable meal?
My best dining experience was at Manersa. The most special dining experience is with the best company.
Your favorite kitchen tool and why?
Mortar and pestle because it extracts flavor in a way no other tool can.
Of all of the places you've traveled, where's the best food and why?
Thailand, they have the most flavorful, dynamic food.
What was the most unusual thing you've eaten?
Twinkies; they're the modern miracle of science.
What is the best Italian dish that many people don't know about?
That's a tough question. (after much hesitation) It's so mainstream. I would have to say Nduja, which is a spreadable salami; very spicy, from Sicily. It's served by itself/on a crostini.
A special thanks to Liz Johannesen and Mike Ni and the rest of the Foodbuzz team and thanks to Chef Kory Stewart for an awesome interview!

Reading the cardboard online and watching 24-hour account sites is acceptable added and added popular. This is because it is cheaper and you get added news. You can see what is accident in the world, as it happens. You don't accept to delay until the next bi-weekly is released, like in the old days.
Do you bethink if the war on Afghanistan began and we were able to watch the aboriginal aggression reside on the news? That is how up to date things accept gotten and we accept never been added in blow with the goings on in the world, than we are today.
However, it is become bigger for humans to get the best account on another account sites. This is because they are not biased. They are not affiliated with any political affair and they can accept their own account and which online writing they post. There is no calendar to their articles.
Therefore, it is important to apperceive some of the advantages of account the account on another account sites.
1. As mentioned above, they accept the ability over what online writing they publish. The alone purpose they serve is to breach the news. They are not agriculture us account that has political connotations and they are not biased appear anything. The account you apprehend on their sites is absolutely for account purposes.
2. They aces their topics. They may accept online writing on their website that added account stations and websites ability account base of the news. Furthermore, they don't just focus on the bad news. You will be able to apprehend blessed things in the account and some of their online writing are absolutely educational.
3. They aren't aggravating to advertise you things. Sometimes, if a bi-weekly is talking about a artefact or a appropriate offer, they are aggravating to advertise you something. However, with a lot of online account sources, they are aggravating to brainwash you. If accomplishing the analysis for this article, there was a hotlink on an another account website on how to get phones for cheap. It was clicked and it was just affected that there would be a gimmick or it would be allurement for money. But, the hotlink in fact took you to an article, which showed you how to get bargain phones, but afresh aswell warned you on the dangers of bargain websites and accepting scammed. The commodity didn't hotlink to any bargain website. It was absolutely educational.
4. Another acceptable affair about another account sites is that they don't get bogged down with rehashing things over and over again. If you about-face on a account approach or attending on one of the acclaimed account sites, like Sky News, the alone affair that they will be talking about is how algid it is in America, There are added things traveling on in the apple appropriate now. There are added things traveling on in America as well. We all apperceive that the acclimate is bad and humans are adversity but that doesn't beggarly that we should avoid aggregate else.
5. Another account sites try to animadversion on everything. They accept sections on celebrity news, analysis account and they even accept sections on funny videos and advances in technology and business. We don't accept to apprehend or apprehend the aforementioned things over and over again. We apperceive that murders appear and the abridgement is bad and they are things that we should apperceive about, but what about aggregate else? CES 2014 is accident appropriate now and there has been hardly any account advantage at all. These are things that are traveling to affect us in the approaching and we hardly apperceive annihilation about them.
American Reside Wire is a website that is committed to publishing the best account on the Internet. They pride themselves on getting an alternating account source. They column the account that you would acquisition on the a lot of austere of account sites and afresh they accept added account alloyed in there as well. They accept capacity of account alleged controversy, acceptable news, hilarious, video, showbiz, bizarre, off exhausted and discovery. They column all of their best beneath these topics.

Orlando Predraft Camp Days 3 & 4Posted by rtmsf on May 31st, 2008
We're running a little late today on updating the news from the Orlando Predraft Camp (Day 1 and Day 2 reviews archived), so we'll make amends by combining a report from both Thursday and Friday's games and workouts. In short, Carolina fans had best hope Bobby Frasor's injury is 100% healed next year because Ty Lawson now appears a lock for the first round, and NBDL star Mike Taylor (who?) may have played his way into the draft during the course of this week.
We'll start first with some of the impressions given by DraftExpress on the fifteen 'elite' prospects who held workouts today but did not participate in games.
- Derrick Rose, Memphis
- Clearly the most impressive workout of any of the 15 players belonged to Derrick Rose. Not so much for what he showed, but mostly just for what he is. He got up and down the floor fluidly and smoothly, covering tons of ground with each and every stride, and looked excellent changing speeds and operating skillfully with both hands in the ball-handling drills. His athleticism is nothing short of stunning, starting with his phenomenal first step, his ability to change gears, and his incredible explosiveness finishing around the basket. He came out with a business-like approach, and left no doubt about just how unique his talent-level and physical tools are. A nice bonus was the way he shot the ball, hitting more than one NBA 3-pointer and looking solid from mid-range as well.

A nice bonus was the way he shot the ball, hitting more than one NBA 3-pointer and looking solid from mid-range as well.
- Russell Westbrook, UCLA
- Also catching our eye was Russell Westbrook, who came out very seriously and didn't seem to be taking anything for granted. He was fantastic in the transition drills, flying up and down the court with his terrific athleticism, and also shot the ball fairly well after starting off slowly. His ball-handling skills are just OK at this point.
- OJ Mayo, USC
- O.J. Mayo was very smooth and very confident in everything he did, barely missing in the perimeter shooting drills. He's clearly not on the same level athletically as Derrick Rose or Russell Westbrook for example, but already has the looks of an NBA player with the way his body looks and how he conducts himself out on the floor.
- Michael Beasley, Kansas St.
- Michael Beasley looked super fluid and athletic getting up and down the court, finishing with either hand and looking to be in pretty good shape. He attacked the drills with a lot of competitive fire, but most definitely was clowning around way too much throughout the day right underneath the noses of the Miami Heat and Chicago Bulls. There were a few people that expressed concern with some of his antics over the past few days.
- Darrell Arthur, Kansas
- Darrell Arthur looks like someone who is going to impress mightily in workouts based off what we saw here. He passes the eye test and then some on first glance, and then showed really nice athleticism to go along with a fairly high skill level in the drills, although oddly attempting to bank every 3-pointer he took. He struggled a little bit remembering what to do in some of the drills, though.
- Brook Lopez, Stanford
- Speaking of lukewarm impressions, Brook Lopez didn't do a whole lot to ease the concerns NBA people have about him, not moving all that well up and down the floor and showing a very average skill-level in most of the drills.
Among the rest of the players who were actually playing games, here are a few of the high (and low) lights (h/t to the usual suspects, DraftExpress, NBADraft.net, Goodman & Katz):
- Ty Lawson, UNC
- Goodman – The speedy North Carolina point guard made the most intelligent move of the camp, coming up with a mysterious hip injury and bowing out of the rest of the camp after a terrific performance in his only game. Lawson displayed his athleticism and, according to NBA executives, should have solidified a place in the first round.
- Wayne Ellington, UNC
- DraftExpress – Wayne Ellington bounced back in a big way after his disastrous performance yesterday, starting off extremely hot on his way to a 7-13, 17 point outing in 20 minutes. His shot simply fell for him at a much better clip, as he did a great job moving off screens and being aggressive using fakes and utilizing his strong one-dribble pull-up. On the negative side, he again did not look very good putting the ball on the floor and making his way to the rim, not standing out that much in terms of his size, quickness, toughness at the rim or ball-handling skills. He still needs to have a strong showing in the last day of the camp if he's truly serious about making a run at the late first round.
- Joe Crawford, Kentucky
- DraftExpress – Last, but certainly not least, Joe Crawford again had another very strong game (15 points, 6-11 FG) as the go-to scoring option for his team. He got to the rim very effectively, shot the ball well from mid-range and long-range, was excellent coming off screens and played fairly well in transition. His defensive effort was good, particularly in terms of pressuring the ball, and he showed absolutely no hesitation in anything he does, which people here have to like. He needs to become a little bit more efficient with his ball-handling (he pounds the ball a little too much), but it's hard not to like what he brought to the floor today.
- Mike Taylor, Iowa St./NBDL
- Goodman – The athletic ex-Iowa State guard, who spent this past season in the NBDL, appeared to have the easiest adjustment of anyone in the camp and rightfully so. He's been playing against older players and is also accustomed to the NBA game. Taylor was aggressive in getting to the basket and also proved he can make shots. He had 24 points on Thursday night.
- Gary Forbes, UMass
- NBADraft.net – If there was to be a player of the day award, then without a doubt it would have to be given to Gary Forbes (30pts, 15-16ft, 2stl). Even though his team lost, it was no fault of Forbes, who almost singlehandedly brought his team back from a large deficit. Although he was very impressive scoring, he may have been just as good on the defensive end, where he chased Richard Roby (3-9fg) off screens and forced him to put the ball on the floor and settle for difficult shots.
- Josh Duncan, Xavier (OH)
- DraftExpress – Josh Duncan continued the trend of Portsmouth Invitational Tournament standouts who were able to translate their excellent performance from the all-senior pre-draft camp in April to this setting as well—scoring 20 points (5-8 FG, 9-10 FT) and pulling down 6 rebounds. Duncan knocked down a number of open shots from the perimeter, scored a bit in the post off good feeds from his guards.
- Davon Jefferson, USC
- DraftExpress – Davon Jefferson continued not to show the type of effort or fire you would expect to see from a player who is currently fighting for his professional future, after having prematurely hired an agent following an average freshman season. His conditioning looks poor, he's dribbling the ball excessively, and he's yet to make use of the terrific athletic ability that made him a prospect to start with. This is turning into a very disappointing pre-draft camp for him.
- Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, UCLA
- Katz – UCLA junior Luc Richard Mbah a Moute hasn't stood out enough to warrant staying in the draft. He still may, but there doesn't seem to be any kind of buzz around him.
- Ronald Steele, Alabama
- Goodman – He still doesn't look like himself — and for good reason. The Alabama junior point guard hasn't played competitively in more than a year and needs to return to school.
- Jeremy Pargo, Gonzaga
- DraftExpress – Jeremy Pargo had a game-high 20 points (7-16 FG, 5-7 FT) to go along with 4 assists. Unfortunately, he also had 6 turnovers and missed three of his four 3-pointers. He pushed the ball up the floor extremely well, showed terrific explosiveness getting by his man and giving himself options in the half-court, and also flashed some glimpses of solid court-vision, but his poor decision making led to way too many turnovers, which has typically been his problem. Going back to school and improving his decision making skills looks like a very good option at this point.
Final thought – we're very excited to see how the height/weight and strength tests look when they come out.

Although the Detroit Pistons won the NBA Championship during the '03-04 season, the 2003 NBA Draft still haunts them to this day.
With the second pick in the draft, the Pistons selected Serbia's Darko Milicic passing on elite players such as Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh! Not only did Milicic not play in Detroit, he has been nothing more than a journeyman throughout his six-year career. Playing for the Orlando Magic, Memphis Grizzlies and currently the New York Knicks after his time in the D. His best statistical season came in '07-08 when he averaged 8 points and 5.5 rebounds with the Magic.
Not bad, huh? Well, it's terrible when you put his numbers in perspective — even his draftmates' worst seasons were leagues better than Darko's best. On the eve of announcing that he would return overseas after the season, saying "the NBA for me is not the way that I want to be," I caught up with Darko. He and I sat in the visitor's locker room at the Palace of Auburn Hills to talk about his time as a Bad Boy.
SLAM: Obviously you're coming back to the Palace. Are there any hard feelings with the team or anything like that?
Darko Milicic: No. That's the past. I didn't play, and they didn't want me to play, and I don't understand why they took me with the second pick if they were not gonna play me. I didn't get it but that's the past and it's behind me. So that's it.
SLAM: Is it pretty emotional? Do you feel like you ever have something to prove?
DM: No, it was different for me the first couple of games because I used to be here as a home game and then the first couple of games to come here as the opposite tables, it was kinda different. So it was a different feeling. But right now it's a different team, and they have a different team, and I already changed like three teams. So for me coming here… I know I used to be here, but it's nothing like special or anything.
SLAM: Do you ever get mad when people say they wasted a pick when they could've got Dwyane Wade or…
DM: They did! No, they did waste a pick, you know. Why did they take me? Who knows if I really had a chance to play like these players that play like Dwyane Wade or Carmelo, those guys are incredible players. So for me, being a second pick, I don't get why they didn't play me at all and, secondly, they did waste, you know? Why did they take me? You should take someone that they really think was gonna play right away because just taking someone to sit on the bench, you waste a pick and you waste the guy's time. You wasted my time for three years not playing so you f**k up a player and you f**k up yourself, and I just didn't get it. So I just didn't get it. I guess they thought they were gonna be champions forever. I don't know.
SLAM: So what was like your favorite memory here? Obviously y'all won a championship here, but do you have any good memories?
DM: Really, I didn't have any favorite memories of playing here. Like I said, I didn't have no fun on the court.
SLAM: Was it any one situation?
DM: I cant really remember. Nah. All those times that I did play, I played in the last couple of minutes in the game when they was 20 up or 20 down, so I don't think that's any fun for anyone. Not for me, I don't know for other people, but I got a couple times I got to play in the pre-season but that's it. In the Miami game, in one game that I got in, I had that dunk but didn't much come on the court.

The museum's exhibit, "Infectious Disease: Evolving Challenges to Human Health," gives a new perspective—and may inform your strategy—on the board game Pandemic[j1] . Each player takes on a role and work as a team to try to save humanity.
Will you develop a cure, and a means to deliver it to the world population? Can you develop this strategy before large percentages of the public die? Players will debate these issues while working as a team to solve global health challenges.
In this game scenario, you are a specialist at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, where you watch infectious diseases break out all over the world. Your team's mission is to prevent spread by treating hot spots and investigating cures for each of the infections.
Grab your friends and form a team or come on your own and make new friends.
This is also your chance to tour the infectious disease exhibit before it closes to make way for the new Life Lab, coming this spring.
Advance ticket purchase is strongly recommended. For tickets, contact the Koshland Science Museum at (202) 334-1201 or firstname.lastname@example.com

I once read somewhere that butter chicken was created when a hungry man walked into an Indian restaurant and they had no curry left. The chef decided to whip up a quick meal by throwing a tandoori chicken into a simple gravy of butter, tomatoes and a few spices. And thus, butter chicken was born. Also known as murgh makhani, this is curry not for the faint hearted- literally! Originating from Mughlai cuisine, it has lashings of butter (duh!) and cream to give it that dreamy, creamy texture. This is one dish where skimping on these two essential ingredients is not recommended. What I love about this recipe is that it doesn't contain any food coloring to give it that gleaming red color.
Many people love eating Indian food at restaurants but are often intimidated about trying it at home. This recipe is super simple so you'll have no excuse to order take out again. It is best served with steamed rice or butter naan.
If you want the recipe for this finger licking butter chicken, head over to Rasa Malaysia.
And in other exciting news, Aquarius, one of Dubai's best selling magazines, ran a small feature on my blog. I have never been so excited in my life and made the hubby make a special trip just to buy me a copy. Here is my moment of fame. And may there be many more!

2011 Photo Recap/
Here are some photos of the great year we had in 2011.
During summer months, trails dry faster but still need time to recover from significant rainfall. Give 'em some time!
Note: Trail status is always up to date and accurate. The date stamp simply refers to the last date it changed, not the last time it was updated. If it reads the trails are open and the date stamp reads a week ago that tells you the trails have been open for a week. When trails are closed they are closed to everyone including foot traffic.
We created an IFTTT Applet that allows you to receive a text when the trail status is changed and it is real-time.
Step 1: Download IFTTT app (or use website)
Step 2: Make an IFTTT account
Step 3: search "SORBA Woodstock"
Step 4: Subscribe to the applet "SORBA Woodstock Trail Status"
Congrats: You will have instant text messages when the trail status is updated.
