I live in Park Ridge and play at a 3.5-4.0 level. Would be happy to hit with you next week. I also have permanent court time at 2 area tennis clubs -- one of them has clay surface -- and invite you to play some tennis there with me at no cost. Let me know if you're interested. You can reach me at email@example.com or 312-968-9199.
I live near Lincolnshire and work around HP so I can hit sometime. I also work from home a few days a week so timing is flex....let me know
Hey, would love to hit sometime! Let me know your availability :)
I am 2.5 - 3.0 level, live in Deerfield, and would love to play with you weekdays after 6.30 pm.
I am looking for a partner to hit with. I live in Lake Forest and am available most of the time. Looking forward to hjearing from you.
Hi I live in HP and available most of days during the day and some weekends. I'm 3.0+ level player. Please let me know if anyone available/interested.
I am near Highland park, if you'd like to play sometime, I am available most weekends and Tuesdays or Fridays.
Carly, do you want to hit this evening? I live in hoffman estates and can drive a few miles
I dont know if we can get much outdoor tennis in anymore, but I belong to a club in Lincolnshire and Libertyville that has indoor courts. It would be a small fee to reserve the court, or maybe $0 if I get a walk on time. The big advantage is being able to play in the evening when I get out of the office. Let me know if thats an option for you. I am about a 3.5-4.0 but like the exercise so I play with all skill levels.

Cruz delivers stemwinder in Iowa
DES MOINES, Iowa – Sen. Ted Cruz exhorted the party faithful at Iowa's Reagan Dinner Friday to join a grassroots insurgency against the Washington establishment, in a speech at an event that was part fundraiser and part tea party rally.
Cruz (R-Texas), who has achieved newfound fame since the government shutdown, delivered a stemwinder in which he blamed Senate Republicans for not holding the line against Democrats over defunding Obamacare, bashed the Washington consulting class, Obamacare and the media, and called on attendees to join the movement by signing up for his email list.
Story Continued Below
"I'm convinced we're facing a new paradigm in politics," Cruz, who spoke for 45 minutes without notes or a teleprompter, told the crowd of about 600 people at the Iowa Events Center. "It is the rise of the grass roots … it has official Washington absolutely terrified."
( PHOTOS: Key quotes from Ted Cruz)
"This new paradigm has been beta-tested, unlike the Obamacare website," Cruz said to applause. "It was beta-tested in 1980 with the Reagan Revolution and it pulled this country back form the brink."
The senator and potential 2016 contender defended his futile battle to defund Obamacare — which led to the two-week-plus government shutdown and damaged the GOP's already suffering national image — that some in his party's congressional leadership have since called a tactical blunder.
"One of the things we accomplished in the fight over Obamacare is we elevated the national debate over what a disaster, what a train wreck, how much Obamacare is hurting millions of Americans across this country," Cruz insisted to the crowd.
( QUIZ: Do you know Ted Cruz?)
House Republicans were "a profile in courage [who] stood strong and listened to the American people," Cruz said, adding that Democrats who voted to give themselves what he called a special exemption on Obamacare would see that move come back to haunt them in ads in the 2014 midterm.
"We didn't accomplish our ultimate policy goal in this battle and we didn't because unfortunately a significant number of senate Republicans chose not to unite and stand side by side with House Republicans," he said. "Had we stood together I'm.convinced the outcome of this fight could have been be very" different.
Cruz insisted he was undeterred, although he didn't offer a specific alternative to reporters who pressed him after the speech.
"We all understood it was going to be an ongoing effort," he told the crowd. "In time the [United States] Senate will listen as well to the American people."
( WATCH - Cruz's "fauxibuster":10 colorful quotes)
In a reference to the NSA spying scandal, Cruz said, "For anyone who has your cell phones here please them on – I want to make sure President Obama hears everything we say."
And he saved some of his toughest criticism for the New York Times. "They will tell you this battle accomplished nothing," Cruz said of the newspaper. "Collectively, we accomplished a great deal. "
In speech after speech, Republican party officials as well as Cruz's colleague, Sen. Chuck Grassley, rattled sabers and urged the grass roots to stand strong. One official, Christian conservative activist and national committeeman Steve Scheffler, delivered the prayer before the dinner was served, saying Republicans need more officials willing to "basically be crucified" for their beliefs and to take "arrows [to the back] of the head."
It stood in stark contrast to a speech just before Cruz, delivered by Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad, who called for party unity and invoked Ronald Reagan's 11th commandment, that Republicans should not criticize one another.
Indeed, this single event – it was the annual fall Reagan Dinner, which the party uses as a showcase of top talent in order to sell tickets – felt very much like a series of different rallies.

The group size (default value 1) represents the maximum number of data modifications that can be bundled into a single update message. If the network connection appears to be impeding replication, increase the group size to a higher value than the default, such as 10, and recheck replication performance.
When increasing the group size, make sure that the following are true:
The window size is set significantly higher than the group size.
The window size divided by the group size is much greater than the value for nsslapd-maxThreadsPerConn under cn=config on the consumer (typically twice as large).
When the group size is set higher than 1, the supplier does not wait to fill a group before sending updates to the consumer.

5,6,7,8… Cisco Step Challenge – encouraging UK employees to get involved in the Olympics
Two weeks ago I shared my interview with Sue Hunt, Director of Strategic Programmes at London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games on the subject of Inclusion and Diversity – what Inclusion and Diversity means to LOCOG and how they encourage it while faced with the challenge of an immovable deadline.
As part of our role as proud supporter and network infrastructure provider of London 2012, Cisco UK is involved in a couple of internal activities to encourage its employees to get involved in the Games. One of these activities is the Cisco Step Challenge, a 4-week challenge to encourage people to take the internationally recommended 10,000 steps per day. Providing you walked the minimum 70,000 steps per week, you were put into the prize draw for a pair of tickets to see a Paralympic Games event.
Employees across the UK joined together to formed teams and participated in the challenge. It wasn't about fundraising or getting sweaty and struggling to find time to fit in extra exercise. It was about participation, improving your health and well being, team work and above all, having fun. A Facebook page and internal community was set up for participants to share words of encouragement and "top tips" for their fellow steppers such as park further away from your office building, use the stairs and not the lift, dancing burns more calories than walking and if you walk with children you walk more steps as you have to go back to get them every 200 yards!
The Step Challenge was very successful in engaging a large number of employees across the UK to participate in a sports challenge and raising awareness about how far you have to walk to achieve the recommended average of 10,000 steps. And one of the great things about it was that you could participate regardless of your age, gender, fitness levels, ethnicity, religion and belief or sexual orientation.
Inclusion and Diversity is a key component of Cisco's culture and we believe that a truly inclusive and diverse workforce is critical to the success of our company and our people. The Step Challenge was advertised as "a challenge for everyone" and strongly encourage that everyone who wished to attend did so. Unfortunately we did not have anyone with a visual disability participate in the challenge and the team intends to look into this as a key area of focus for us next year. I think this is a real lesson for us all, that it's not enough to open an opportunity to everyone – we need to actively encourage Inclusion and Diversity and incorporate it into our strategy for success.

The annual EnviroFest for Marion County fourth graders will be Oct. 2 at Marion Central Park. For the past five years, the event has taught students from county school districts about environmental issues and how to protect it.
Students from Marion, Hillsboro, Peabody, Cottonwood Grove Christian, and home school students will participate this year.
EnviroFest begins with 20-minute informational sessions from 9:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. Students are asked to bring a sack lunch.
Sessions will include talks by a forester, a watershed demonstration, and stream and soil trailers. A dairy parlor demonstration will be held after lunch. Ice cream will be given to students during the presentation.
"EnviroFest was founded to fill curriculum guidelines set by the state," said organizer Peggy Blackman, Marion Reservoir Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategy (WRAPS) director. "The program used to be around Earth Day, but we decided to move it after having to constantly reschedule due to inclement weather."

Call for Papers and Workshops:
The Past, Present, and Future of the Book
The explosion of new digital book technologies – smart phones, tablets, print-to-order self-publishing sites, and so forth – has paradoxically energized more traditional studies of the book. The academic field tends to be divided into Book History (English and History), Book Arts (Art and English), Digital Books (Computer Science, Business, Sociology), and Cognition and Reading (Psychology, Education, Library Studies): each of these areas of interest is brimming with new scholarship as well as public interest.
In practice, the subfields overlap, and exciting things are happening at the intersections. To foreground these intersections and explore the pedagogical potential of Book Studies and Book Art, we invite paper and poster presentations, round-table discussions, and book-art workshops from scholars, artists, and librarians interested in the past, present, and future of the book. Proposals by collaborative student-faculty teams or by faculty from different disciplines are especially welcome.
Possible presentation and round-table topics include but are not limited to:
- Textual studies of manuscripts, early printed, or art books
- Pedagogies involving manuscripts, early printed, or art books
- Illustrations and illuminations and their relationship to text
- Marginalia, glosses, and technologies of reading
- Cultural support and censorship of book production
- Book fetishism
- Books and cognition
- Books and (historical) memory
- Book preservation
- Publication mechanisms, digital books, and/or the social life of books
- The ends of reading/the end of reading
- Religious and secular theories of the book
- Recent developments in Book Arts
- Production, distribution, and reception of particular texts
Possibilities for workshops include, but are not limited to:
- Creating digital editions
- Book binding
- Chapbooks
- Papermaking
- Marbling
- Altered books
All sessions will be 90 minutes in length; paper sessions in particular will include three twenty minute papers and a discussion period.
Abstracts are not to exceed 400 words. Paper and round-table proposals must specify special equipment needs. Workshop proposals must clearly identify facilities and materials needed; they must also include an estimate of supply costs per participant.
All proposals must be submitted through the website by September 30, 2011. A preliminary program will be announced in mid October, when registration will open. If you have any questions about appropriateness of materials and proposals, please contact us (email@example.com).Registration is free for ACM faculty, staff, and students. Lodging, meals, and materials for participants will be covered by a grant. Travel subsidies are available for ACM participants. For participants not affiliated with the ACM, the registration fee of $60 will cover meals and all materials.

Sundays With Tabs the Cat, Makeup and Beauty Blog Mascot, Vol. 557
As I sit here typing this on my laptop in my dining room, I still have sand between my toes, salt water in my fur…
Actually, in my hair, but the word, "fur," slipped out because throughout our entire trip down to San Simeon and Hearst Castle this weekend (I'll tell you all about it tomorrow), I kept thinking about how much Tabs loved beaches.
Some of his most historically successful, legendary kitty modeling photo shoots occurred ocean side. Waikiki on Oahu in Hawaii, and the Central California Coast, were among his favorite beach locales, and not just for kitty modeling work. He also loved them for relaxation and fun.
Traveling with him as his professional pet assistant on these jaunts was always a little stressful for me, though, because, as you can imagine, Tabs had to have the best of everything — the softest Cal king bed, the most epic ocean view, 24-hour on-site masseuses, the freshest fish. Those trips were never really vacations for me, but it made me happy to keep the boss satisfied.
This one time he had me shut down the entire Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk just so he could go on every ride without having to wait in line.

The first-ever public python hunting season wrapped up in Florida last month: Dozens of Floridians tooled around the state in their pick-ups, looking for oversized pet snakes which have escaped into the python hunting season. Python hunting is our new national pastime.
The Python hunting season—which lasted from March 8th to April 17—was the latest effort by Florida Fish and Wildlife authorities to deal with the Everglades' truly terrifying Burmese Python infestation. This infestation is itself the result of a truly American brand of stupidity: Which is, buying absurd pets that one knows one can never hope to take care of. In a New Yorker article, an expert asked, by way of illustrating how poorly suited pythons are to being pets:
Do you want a snake that may grow more than twenty feet long, weigh two hundred pounds, urinate and defecate like a horse, live more than twenty-five years, and for whom you will have to provide mice, rats and eventually rabbits?
You had us at "defecate like a horse!" And so, in the early 90s everyone in Florida who either was or fancied themselves a cocaine dealer started buying these Burmese Pythons. Then they kept them in the spare bath tub until Hurricane Andrew destroyed their house and flung the animals into the Everglades, where they thrived. Then a toddler was killed by a her parents' pet Burmese Python last year, which made everyone aware of the ecological impact these snakes have been having for decades. (If only global warming would kill a few toddlers.)
Now, people like Bob Freer—a python hunter profiled in today's New York Times'—get to hunt them for sport! And if some random housewife in fly-over country counts as "Real America' then these python hunters are, like, Real America in I-Max 3-D.
Here's how you hunt pythons: First, you buy a special $26 permit, which allows you to hunt them on state land. Then, you may want to attend a special python-hunting workshop, where state-employed hunters teach you important tips like the fact that the first thing pythons do when captured is empty their bowels (see video). Wait until the weather is right: Pythons are either most active in cold weather or warm weather (the Miami Herald says Hot; the Daily Beast says cool).
Then you drive your truck up and down roads in the Everglades until you see the distinctive sheen of a python lying in a culvert. (In the Times article, they go hunting in an abandoned rocket-testing site.) You exit your truck. The law says you must kill the python when you capture it, and the method of dispatch varies: If you are a wimp, you may shoot it with a rifle. Wimp. If you a real man, you sneak up on the snake and wrangle it into a bag. A Daily Beast reporter witnessed one of these hardcore guys killing the snake by "Lopping off its head with his knife and penetrating the brain and spinal cord with a rod." So, you can do that if you want to really show the python who's boss.
Then you may eat the python, provided you sell it first to a licensed meat processor. Chowhound recommends a marinade of "soy sauce, orange juice concentrate, scallions, ginger, and honey". We recommend not eating it, because tests have shown that many burmese pythons in the Everglades are contimnated with mercury. Instead, you should sell the snake to All American Gators in Hallandale, Beach, FL. They will buy it for $5/foot and make a beautiful pair of snakeskin pants out of it that you might give to your wife for your wedding anniversary. Or maybe just hang it on the wall, and every time your daughter brings a boy over point to it and say "See that? Killed that python with my bare hands."
So, now you know everything you need to know for next year's python hunt! Unfortunately, the six-week season this year led to zero python captures—probably because it was so cold in Florida this year. (State hunters have removed over 1,000 pythons since 2000.) However, global warming is real. And, according to a estimates in the New Yorker article, global warming could make New York a suitable environment for pythons by 2100. By that time we need to have a phalanx of trained python hunters ready to protect us. As python hunter Bob Hill told the Miami Herald (all python hunters are named Bob, apparently): "There's really no predator, other than the occasional alligator. Sometimes the gator wins, sometimes the snake wins."

Happy hunting!

This initiative seeks to create a "one-stop shop" for slum communities' renewable energy needs. "Toward Vibrant Green Urban Slums" intends to create centers that provide efficient lighting and cooking systems, among other resources. The project aims to make slums more environmentally friendly, and at the same time healthier.
Fast facts:
5,000 people targeted in 3 slums
1,000 efficient LED lights to be distributed
200 jobs to be created
The problem
Cities in India are growing, as very poor laborers migrate there in search of employment. This is in spite of the fact they often lack adequate or saleable skills. Frequently these migrants live without access to minimum energy needs and other infrastructure. The metropolis of Hyderabad has India's highest proportion of slum population. The poor people there use kerosene for lighting, or make use of open three-stone stoves or portable, low-efficiency metal stoves for cooking.
The solution
This program, supported by S3IDF, aims to establish "akshay urja" centers, or renewable energy centers, to distribute energy-efficient technologies. These would include solar LED lighting, solar photovoltaic LED lighting for street hawkers, and improved, efficient cook stoves. The project will organize planning meetings and local committees to carry out work at these centers. This serves to educate and mobilize people to switch to more climate-friendly technologies.
Helping the planet
Tapping solar energy for lighting and using more efficient cook stoves reduces the demand for and use of fossil fuels like kerosene. This not only averts the environmental destruction that occurs from extracting such resources, it also prevents the release of greenhouse gases and other pollution during their combustion.
Helping people
Adopting more efficient means of lighting and cooking would save people money, helping to lift them out of the cycle of poverty. People who use these efficient technologies also benefit from a healthier environment, both indoor and outdoor, as they are no longer burning kerosene for lighting or wood for cooking.
Spillover effect
This project represents an extension of such work in rural communities, demonstrating how the project can be replicated and scaled up. Intensive training and facilitation of self-employment will also allow the project to expand. The role of akshay urja centers, for example, could evolve into IT kiosks that provide education and communication services. Sharing the wealth of data collected during this project, only further contributes to its potential for replication.

Nouns in English are words that are naming either an idea, thing, quality, place or person. They can be either in plural or singular form, and they most of the time need a determiner or article in order to exist in a sentence. It's important to note that adjectives can be used to describe nouns and, maybe the interesting thing is that the English language has more nouns than verbs or any other kind of word.
Are adverbs an important part of the English language? Of course they are. If adjectives describe the subject of a sentence, adverbs describe the action. So it is important to know adverbs and how to use them. Adverbs are not hard to use, and they complete sentence formation and vocabulary, improving the use of English. So let us see which the most important aspects of adverb use are.
1. Definition and function of verbs
In English, the verb shows the action, state, occurrence in a sentence, being the principal part of the predicate. The function of the verbs is to describe the action, conditions, or state regarding to the subject. They state is something happened, is happening or will happen in the future.

In my experience, unless you are a native English speaker you have almost no chance been hiring for teaching English in China. It's bad but it's true.
Some schools in less develped parts of China may hire you, but only if they can't get a real English speaker (Native English speaker) to work there! Why learn English from a none native speaker? They have many none native English speaking Chinese teachers here in China!!!!!
The whole idea of none native English teachers comming to teach their "own versions of English", I have met many none native (none Chinese) foreign teachers and often they do speak good English, but often with many small mistakes.... and those mistakes they then teach the children here!
In China it is a little strange to bring none native English speakers to teach children a language and I would say not good for children to learn from, as you will even at best only speak good English and not perfect English, so why not employ a Chinese English teacher?

Subscribe To Fundraiser To Change Mass Effect 3 Ending Is Shutdown Updates
I've already subscribed
[Update: Child's Play project manager Jamie Dillion further clarifies why the campaign was shutdown and it wasn't because gamers were misinformed about where the money was going.]
If you've been keeping track of all the Mass Effect 3 ending drama, then you might have come across the news that a group was using Child's Play to raise money for the charity in order to convince BioWare to change the ending for Mass Effect 3. The name of the initiative was called "Retake Mass Effect 3".
After more than $80,000 raised in charity, Penny Arcade, the founders of Child's Play, have announced that they have brought the fundraiser to an end due to a lot of people not realizing that the money wasn't going directly to BioWare.
Genius Gamers reports that the whole thing came crashing down due to a lot of people just not being informed enough about what Retake Mass Effect 3 was all about.
The fundraiser's organizer, Robb, shared a message to the community about the results of the drive, and according to VG 24/7, he had this to say...
"As evidenced by the statement from Dr. Myzuka yesterday, we have made our voices heard. Those of you here have taken special care to be heard in a polite, positive manner, and I believe that this is a major contributor to that success. We have shown our sincerity and passion. We have brought positive attention to the Retake Mass Effect movement."
The thing is, a lot of people were contacting the Child's Play group to find out how much was needed to change the Mass Effect 3 ending, or what it would cost to get the ending altered, etc., etc. Child's Play has had no direct dealing with getting Mass Effect 3's ending changed. It was just an indirect outlet used to raise money, which in turn was used to raise awareness to BioWare in order to get the ending changed.
It is true that Dr. Myzuka did respond to the community about changing the Mass Effect 3 ending. So the $80,000 certainly wasn't in vain.
VG 24/7 further reports that project manager Jamie Dillion took to Reddit to issue the following statement to quell some of the negative backlash about ending the fundraiser, saying...
"While we did receive some negative mail regarding the drive, I can assure you our decision was not about bowing to pressure from anyone- corporate, individual, or otherwise,"
Well, in the end at least gamers are going to get what they wanted, a bunch of kids were able to get what they wanted, and the Child's Play organization definitely got what they wanted. And I'm sure if the new Mass Effect 3 ending is paid-for DLC, EA will definitely get what they want. So everyone wins.

Dear Readers,
As summer moves (perhaps too swiftly) from July to August, and soon enough to September, we are celebrating our new array of excellent advanced textbooks, titles crucial to research and teaching in the academy. A scholar once characterized an outstanding text as a book that brings "point, verve, and a sense of general acceptance" to the field which it defines—a worthy objective, among others, of a scholarly publisher such as Princeton University Press. (Please don't ask me to identify the source; I came across this quote about 30 years ago).
Textbooks of a scholarly stripe have long held a proud place on Princeton's list, dating back many decades, and have complemented our monographs and more general interest titles in serving up robust accounts of the fields in which we publish. This year is no exception, featuring as it does the impressive cluster of advanced texts we've published since last fall. In fact, this is arguably the best set of new texts we have published in years. And this bumper crop of texts is unusual in that spans most of the fields in which we publish, not just one or two. As we approach some of the big annual academic meetings, and with fall semester only a month away, it's worth our reviewing some of these outstanding offerings.
Most notable in this year's crop are the new science texts. The earliest of our new science texts appeared last August in the form of Wally Broecker and Charles Langmuir's new edition of the classic work, How to Build a Habitable Planet. Habitable Planet was quickly followed by Biophysics: Searching for Principles by William Bialek, and an innovative new book on the physics of sound and music, Why You Hear What You Hear by Harvard's Eric Heller. Our science offerings concluded this past spring with Einstein Gravity in a Nutshell by Anthony Zee, author of the modern classic Quantum Field Theory in a Nutshell, now in its second edition, and Climate Dynamics, an exciting new book by Texas-based scholar Kerry Cook. Rounding out the spring flock of science texts are the second edition of Steven Vogel's Comparative Biomechanics, and Whitney Cranshaw and Richard Redak's exciting Bugs Rule! An Introduction to the World of Insects. Collectively, these texts are helping to turn a new page in PUP's science publishing.
While launching the new science texts, we added handsomely to our world-leading list of economics texts with new offerings by two of our most successful and celebrated textbook authors: Stanford's David Kreps, whose 1990 book, A Course in Microeconomic Theory, marked the rise of the modern PUP economics list, is back with his new text, Microeconomic Foundations I: Choice and Competitive Markets, while MIT's Robert Gibbons, author of the widely admired 1992 book, Game Theory for Applied Economists, joined Stanford's John Roberts in editing the path-breaking Handbook of Organizational Economics. In addition, we published Berkeley economist Steven Tadelis's long-awaited Game Theory: An Introduction, and an important edited volume by Princeton psychologist Eldar Shafir, Behavioral Foundations of Public Policy. Shafir's volume touched a nerve at The New York Times when columnist David Brooks used it as the basis for a January 2013 column. These books and more will be on display later this month at the European economics meetings in Sweden.
The list of 2012-13 textbooks extends from science and economics into various other regions of the social sciences. We began the academic year with Phillip Bonacich and Philip Liu's Introduction to Mathematical Sociology, and finished the year on an equally quantitative note with Moore and Siegel's new book, A Mathematical Course for Political and Social Research, two titles we will feature prominently at this month's meetings of the American Political Science Association and the American Sociological Association. In anthropology we added two new teaching titles in Ethnography and Virtual Worlds by Tom Boellstorff and his colleagues, and Nikolas Rose and Joelle Abi-Rachid's Neuro: The New Brain Sciences and the Management of the Mind.
Returning to the earliest months of the past academic year, it's worth recalling that we published the fourth edition of the famed Princeton Encyclopedia of Poetry and Poetics in a low-priced paperback edition, thereby making it course adoption-ready in seminars on poetics and advanced classes on poetry.
For more on these and other textbooks, please check out Princeton Pretexts where we will be posting additional information about these titles over the coming weeks or our dedicated textbooks web site.

Some responses to my writeup of the Left Coast Libations book:
I'm so embarrassed. I used St. Germain in one of my cocktails. I only use it in one cocktail, and that's the one in the book. Michael, can you remove the bohemian from the second edition and I'll get to work on something that uses ketchup?
I was kind of torn about using St. Germain as an example, my initial thought was just to say something like, "excluding any liqueurs or spirits I know have been heavily promoted by marketing and/or spirits companies," but that was just too unwieldy. So I picked St. Germain as my whipping boy.
"The resulting liqueur has the beautiful clear scent of elderflower without some of the off flavors or, well, syrup-i-ness of the D'Arbo Elderflower Syrup. I don't think St. Germain will be a completely one to one substitute in cocktails calling for the syrup; but, it is a great product all on its own. I'm really looking forward to experimenting with it in cocktails."
Who do you think it was?
a. me
b. you
c. simon difford
d. no one ever said this.
Maybe I don't get to go to enough bars and see what's being abused?
I reserve the right to change my mind. I wrote that in March of 2007 on eGullet. I can barely keep track of the Savoy drinks I posted last week, let alone some comment I made as moderator of the Spirits and Cocktail Forum on eGullet three years ago. Besides, I still have a nearly full bottle of St. Germain that I purchased that year. I'm hoping it ages well, but it has floaties.
Frederic Yarm:
Visiting the bars and bartenders is a bit of a challenge for us on the right coast. If I can squeeze out a dozen recipes, it will far surpass most book purchases (I think we're up to 6 recipes although one was a disappointment).
Considering that I have spent $30+ on a Mud Puddle book to discover that there are 3 new recipes and a lot of the same (or slight variations) as I already have, so far the ratio is not that bad in comparison.
We don't throw aside the St. Germain drinks, but I do agree about the special syrups and infusions. And the seasonal, locally sourced ingredients. Although I'll have a better chance getting those then I will from my Japanese or Peruvian cocktail books…
"The Right Coast", guess it depends on your perspective!
Collecting classic cocktail books is indeed a thankless task. Just be thankful you're spending $30 dollars for books from Mud Puddle, and not $300+ on eBay.
Very well put.
Now, if only I the bars in my town had the balls to experiment, so I could actually taste some of these things at least once.
Erik, I think from your standpoint your review is fair. But I would argue the book is not made for you, but for people who are looking to go past that "I can make a better drink than 99% of bartenders" but I'm no pro status. It fills a nice void between the amateurs and the professionals, it nestles itself into a niche that has not really been explored in print.
IMO it's for people who can make great classic cocktails and adapt recipes but are looking for inspiration to push their craft further. I would think the book is achieving it's goals if it pushes someone to make an obscure homemade ingredient. Even if the drink from the book disappoints, at least they have a new ingredient to play around with.
Michael Lazar:
Erik. Thanks for the review and general thoughts on current (or not so current) trends in cocktails. I'm continuing to mull on 'em.
I was struck however by one thing with which I'd take actual issue: calling the book cocktail p0rn. First off, so long as you have access to decent liquor stores and produce markets, I count 54 cocktails (roughly half the recipes) you could make tonight—if you include the ones that call for St. Germain and if you don't count things like simple syrup or basil as a special/exotic ingredient. Second, we did a lot of work proofing and scaling the recipes for the special ingredients so that folks who undertake them would be as guaranteed of success as possible. Where it was deemed helpful we included details what sorts of equipment you'd need, where to source certain ingredients, substitutions, etc. There's even a lengthy discussion on frothing egg whites (and things that can go wrong) trying and ice (why not to get too wrapped around the axle about it).
I would also point out that some of the cocktails in the book have incredible track records in the real world: Laughing Buddha, Chartreuse Swizzle, The Revolver (#2 most popular cocktail at B&B), Richmond Gimlet, Southern Exposure, and Carter Beats the Devil, to name just a few. And a few others are already showing their legs e.g. the Saffron Sandalwood Sour and Ueno San. And most of these, once again, are pretty simple to execute.
Net/net: I'd say the book is less like p0rn and more like a really good sex instruction manual with hot models. ;->
To be frank, I do feel a bit bad that I got carried away with my little rant, and didn't really highlight the parts of the book that I DO really like.
First, the pictures are fantastic. As someone who takes a lot of pictures of cocktails, it's hard to understate how great a job I think Jenn Farrington did taking the pictures in this book.
The attention to detail, is another thing which really I really appreciate. Instead of simply asking the drink makers for pictures and recipes, I know that they went through every cocktail in the book and made the cocktails at least once, sometimes several times. It is great that they include substitutions where appropriate and very detailed instructions for all the cocktails and pantry work.
Another aspect of the attention to detail, is the fact that they give credit to the creator of every drink in the book. Very few cocktail books take both the drink makers and cocktails serious enough to give credit where it is due. That is very cool.
And as a corollary to that, a lot of these recipes are, in fact, working cocktail recipes from bars. They are not just cocktails that someone won a contest with and made once. There are many examples here of very popular cocktails, modern West Coast classics, if you will. It is a credit to the bars and to the bartenders that they would put themselves out there and share these in the detail that they have simply out of the generosity of their spirits and commitment to the craft.
All of these things are a breath of fresh air in the world of cocktail recipe books.
I was really torn about whether I should "review" the book at all, for all the reasons that I listed at the beginning of my write up.
There was no way I was going to do it, if I couldn't think of anything real, meaningful, or provacative to say about it.
I just started with the idea of kind of tweaking Ted's passive-aggressive tone in the "bios" and tossing it back at him as a sort of joke.
But some recent events in my life and another blogger's write up of the cocktail program at a new restaurant, colored my review and definitely provided fodder for thought.
A lot of the questions which I put, are not just intended for other bartenders, but for myself as I approach the end of the Savoy Project and wonder about my future and what inspirations I will find.

Possibly Drunk High School Umpire Passes Out On Field, Fights Medics, Gets Tased and Arrested
C'mon, Blue: you're seeing double out there! An Illinois high school umpire passed out on the field of a game while he was umpiring last Friday. Prior to the nap, spectators say Daryl Jacobson, 49, was "visibly under the influence." When medics came to assist Jacobson, witnesses say he fought them off to the point where he had to be tased twice by police.
"I heard from my friends that the guy was resisting arrest and he said a few things he shouldn't have said," Stark County High School Student Noel Ellis tells us. "They tased him twice."
Jacobson is now in custody facing two charges each of aggravated battery and resisting a peace officer. The big questions: how is there no video from the incident, and does FanGraphs have a PitchFx chart comparison of Jacobson from Friday?

Dallas police say a 44-year-old man fell 150 feet to his death as police tried to coax him down from a construction crane after a more than 14-hour standoff.
Police say Lee Dell Thomas Jr. died early Tuesday after slipping from the cab of the crane.
He scrambled up the crane at the Southern Methodist University campus around midday Monday and endured sweltering temperatures in the 90s all afternoon.
Around 1 a.m. Tuesday, SWAT officers climbed the crane, but Thomas had spread grease near the cab to deter their advances. He slipped from a window, clung on for a while, then fell to his death.
Police say Thomas may have been involved in a robbery Monday in which a vehicle was stolen.

High Tech With a Traditional Look
Geez, it's been way too long since I've made it out into the garage to work on my '57 Chevy pickup, but I finally got my butt out there yesterday. It'd been so long that honestly I wasn't quite sure where the heck I'd left off. After blowing the dust off the old girl I looked around and found a couple of boxes of parts in the cab and figured that I'd get into the swing of things again by opening 'em up and installing whatever was inside – I figured anything I did was at least a step in the right direction.
The boxes held the ignition system for my new stroker 383, which consisted of a PerTronix Flame-Thrower Stock-Look distributor, a set of PerTronix Stock-Look 7mm high-performance plug wires, and a Flame-Thrower coil and mounting bracket. I also found a new distributor hold-down and a set of plug wire looms in the bottom of one of the boxes as well.
Those that have read my ramblings over the years are sure to remember that I have a soft spot for the PerTronix Ignitor ignition modules and have been using 'em for years. For those who don't, the Ignitor is the best electronic module on the market for converting OEM point-style distributors to electronic.
This time around though, I'd decided that since I needed a distributor for my crate engine I'd go for one of PerTronix's complete new Stock-Look cast-body Flame-Thrower distributors rather than converting one of my old GM point-style ones from my parts stash (since I'd dolled up my new stroker to look like an early, traditional-style small-block Chevy I didn't want to use one of those big honkin' GM HEI units).
The big difference between the new Stock-Look Flame-Thrower and their standard electronic Flame-Thrower is in looks only (the Stock-Look has a cast aluminum housing rather than the shiny machined billet aluminum body of the standard Flame-Thrower, but both are equal in performance and quality).
PerTronix's new plug and play cast distributors are available for small- and big-block Chevrolets and Ford 221-302ci applications too, and are designed to provide maximum ignition performance and easy installation all at an affordable price. These distributors feature the patented Ignitor or Ignitor III electronic ignition modules I'm so partial to. Plus, the PerTronix Ignitor is also compatible with any inductive ignition system coil, but high-rpm performance can be improved when used with its low-resistance Flame-Thrower coils.
And if you're using a capacitive discharge system or the PerTronix Second Strike box, no problem, the PerTronix distributor is compatible. The Ignitor III version features a built-in Digital Rev Limiter and Multi Spark so no external box is needed. Unlike most auto parts store distributors, these units feature all brand-new (not rebuilt) parts. The gears are hardened steel for exact tolerances and the vacuum canister is adjustable for optimum performance. The mechanical advance curve has been tailored for top performance and drivability.
The distributors come with High Dielectric strength cap and rotor with brass contacts and they're legal in all 50 states and Canada too. So, now that my commercial is over, follow along and see how I finally got myself rollin' on my pickup project again!
1 After literally months I finally got my butt in gear and got back out in the garage to work on my '57 Chevy pickup project. A lack of free time and a bad back had kept me from turning wrenches for way too long, but yesterday I finally made it out there.
2 Since it had been so long since I'd done anything to my truck I'd actually forgotten where I'd left off – so I just tore into the first parts boxes I ran across and they happened to be the goodies I'd ordered from PerTronix Performance Products months ago. The boxes contained a brand-new PerTronix Flame-Thrower Stock-Look electronic distributor (sporting a cast-aluminum housing rather than the standard machined billet aluminum of the standard Flame-Thrower), a coil, and wires.
3, 4 The PerTronix Flame-Thrower coil and high-performance 7mm wires are high-quality components that are not only designed to work in concert with the company's electronic distributors, but the have that early OEM look I was going for in the '57's engine compartment.
5, 6 You can see in this close-up that even though this is a brand-new high-performance distributor its cast aluminum housing and small-diameter points-style cap give it a traditional early-style look, while offering foolproof electronics.
7 As is the case with any distributor installation, the first step is to get the engine to top dead center on the number one cylinder. Since I've yet to wire the truck (my American Autowire harness install will be coming soon) I used a ratchet and socket to turn the engine over until I found TDC.
8 With number one at top-dead-center the distributor is lowered into place with the rotor pointing to the number one cylinder.
9 Once it was in place and I was sure it was seated with the drive gears meshed and the bottom of the shaft seated in the oil pump I then attached the cap.
10 With the distributor in place, the rotor pointed toward the number one cylinder, and the cap installed, I then pulled it back out and reinstalled it because I'd forgotten to install the gasket that goes between the distributor collar and the engine block. Why is it I rarely do things correctly on the first try?
11 After installing the distributor for the second time I opened up my new Stock-Look plug wires. They're 7mm high-performance wires with the look of stock OEM wires with no printing on them at all. PerTronix designed these wires with the same core they use in their 8mm wires. The only real difference is the 7mm flat-black silicone jacket that hides its performance potential from the naked eye. By the way, they're available in both straight and 90-degree boot styles as well.
12 For once, I'd had the forethought to pick up a set of wire looms and a distributor hold-down. Will wonders never cease?
13 Oh, I almost forgot to mention that it's always a good idea to lube the distributor drive gear with a dollop of white lithium grease before you install the distributor. This helps lube the gears and protect them until the engine oil begins to circulate on start up.
14 After spending a couple of minutes trying to find an appropriate place to mount my new coil I finally decided to mount it on the firewall between the brake booster and the throttle linkage opening. I think I prefer it there rather than on the intake manifold.
15 The next step was installing the plug wires and wire looms. I discovered that using the 90-degree spark plug boots made for a rather tight fit between the plugs and the exhaust headers. I may swap this set out for a set of straight boot wires in the future.
16, 17 The final step was installing the new Spectre distributor hold-down assembly. This unit uses an Allen head stud that threads into the engine block followed by a chrome-plated hold-down and an anodized nut and washer.
18 And there ya have it. My first foray into the garage in nearly three months. Now that I've broken the ice I'll make sure that I get back into the swing of things and start making serious progress. I'll see ya again next month as I take one more step in the long process of sewing together my latest pickup project.

All "jacked up" and no place to go — yet.
All "jacked up" and no place to go — yet.
Homes are being prepared for moving at the site of the future Kroger Marketplace near Grove Center.
Some homes will be moved to new locations by the homeowner, but others will be moved only if someone buys them.
Sonny Asher, owner of New Way House Moving, told The Oak Ridger that he and the owner of M&M House Movers are trying to salvage some of the homes up for demolition to make way for a new $30 million Kroger Marketplace shopping center.
The Kroger Marketplace center will center on a new 113,000-square foot Kroger store — and several outparcel shops — that will replace more than 57 properties along Ivanhoe Road, Robin Lane and Iris Circle, as well as two hotels, a restaurant and the Oak Ridge Unitarian Universalist Church.
The city has already approved rezoning the property, abandoning the current rights-of-way, and approving a new traffic light for North Illinois Avenue at Ivanhoe.
Asher said he has a "deal" with Blanchard & Calhoun Commercial, the Georgia-based development firm that is developing the property, to resale and move some of the homes.
"We'll move them when they're sold," Asher said. He said Blanchard & Calhoun is giving the two moving companies time to sell, "but the window is small."
Asher said the companies are only moving and selling about 20 of the "nicer" homes.
He said, however, that if the homes all don't get sold before the window closes, his company and M&M House Movers hope to find a place to stage them for later sale.
As of mid-week, four homes — three on Iris Circle and one on Robin Lane — had been jacked up on wooden blocks and are ready to be moved.
Asher said house moving crews have been working in the area for the past two weeks.
To contact Asher about purchasing a home, call the New Way House Moving office at (423) 869-8733.
Developers could begin demolition in early 2013 for a possible opening of the Kroger Marketplace in 2014.
Beverly Majors can be contacted at (865) 220-5514.

Chicken of the Sea® is Paying It Forward in 2014 to the Tune of $1 Million
"100 Years of Good" initiative rewards 100 charitable Americans with $10,000 each to empower them to greater community service
SAN DIEGO (Jan. 13, 2014) – Chicken of the Sea is looking back by paying it forward in 2014 in celebration of its 100th anniversary as an iconic American brand. As a way of thanking Americans for making it a mealtime staple, the San Diego-based company is investing $1 million in 100 charitable individuals and nonprofits to empower them to continue their grassroots community service.
"Chicken of the Sea: 100 Years of Good" launches today as one of the largest, most comprehensive Pay it Forward initiatives in consumer packaged goods history. The 12-month effort combines commemorative packaging, promotions and retailer programs with a six-month, nationwide promotional tour commemorating the brand's Centennial anniversary. An awards program also aims to provide support and awareness to Americans who are bringing good to their communities.
A highlight is the debut of the real-life version of the famed Chicken of the Sea Mermaid and a contest to allow seafood fans to name the aquatic mascot.
According to David Roszmann, COO of Chicken of the Sea, 100 individuals and nonprofits involved in community work are being selected to receive a pay-it-forward cash award of $10,000 to enable them to continue their goodwill efforts.
"It's Chicken of the Sea's 100th birthday in 2014 – but it's America that is receiving the gifts," said Roszmann. "In gratitude, we're using our Centennial as an opportunity to shine the light on those everyday American heroes that are making a real difference where they live through community philanthropy, revitalization or other selfless acts of service. We're looking for both individuals and communities that, like us, want to continue the cycle of good.
"This pledge to pay it forward is an outgrowth of our long-term corporate culture of giving back. From supporting the U.S. military in wartime to helping pioneer dolphin-safe tuna and seafood sustainability, Chicken of the Sea has always strived for good – in its products, people and communities."
Founded in 1914, Chicken of the Sea provides tuna, salmon, clams, crab, oysters, shrimp, mackerel, kipper snacks and sardines in cans, cups and pouches as well as innovative new products consistent with seafood's growing status as a healthy "new" protein choice in America.
As a tour extension of the anniversary, the Chicken of the Sea Great American Gratitude Tour brings the celebration to seafood lovers and retailers across the country. Kicking off March 6, 2014, in San Diego, the Tour will ultimately visit 39 cities before concluding in Boston after Labor Day 2014.
At each stop, the Chicken of the Sea Coral Cove experiential display will dramatically bring the Chicken of the Sea Mermaid and her undersea world to life. Visitors can have their pictures or video taken with the Mermaid, relive Chicken of the Sea's history, and take home Mermaid-themed giveaways.
As a special treat, a select number of Chicken of the Sea Commemorative Centennial Coins will be given away at each Tour stop as part of the Mermaid's Treasure Box promotion. Each coin features a unique code that can be redeemed at www.chickenofthesea.com/100 for valuable prizes and the chance to become a Chicken of the Sea Pay it Forward Honoree and receive $10,000 to use for the community service project of their choice.
The "100 Years of Good" initiative also solves a mystery that has followed the brand's Mermaid since she starred in the ubiquitous "Ask Any Mermaid" jingle in the 1960s: What is her name? The Name the Chicken of the Sea Mermaid Contest allows seafood lovers to decide the name of the beloved aquatic mascot – with the fan supplying the winning name automatically becoming a $10,000 honoree.
For more information on Chicken of the Sea: 100 Years of Good or to nominate a recipient or nonprofit for a $10,000 Great American Gratitude award, go to www.chickenofthesea.com/100. A Tour schedule is available.

It's about time old electrophoresis myths were busted. Don't get left behind. Bring your separation tools up to date today with Novex® gels.
Protein Separation Myths:
1. Gel chemistry will always modify my protein
2. NuPAGE® gels take too long to run
3. Precast gels are too expensive
MYTH: Gel Chemistry Will Always Modify my Protein
FACT: NuPAGE® Gel Chemistry Actually Preserves Your Protein
More Neutral pH is the Key
The fundamental shortcoming of the tris-glycine gel system is protein degradation during sample preparation. When using a tris-glycine sample buffer prepared at pH 6.8, samples are heated within the buffer, resulting in a pH decrease due to the negative temperature coefficient of tris-glycine. This ultimately results in protein hydrolysis.
NuPAGE® gel chemistry preserves protein sample integrity by maintaining a higher sample buffer pH (Figure 1). The pH of the NuPAGE® sample buffer does not drop below pH 8 (even when heated to 70°C), so the protein sample does not degrade during sample preparation.
Meet the inventor of the NuPAGE® System and learn about preserving your protein during electrophoresis.
|Figure 1. See the difference with NuPAGE® gels. (A) The NuPAGE® gel run using 1X MES buffer. (B) A tris-glycine gel run using tris-glycine/SDS buffer. This figure demonstrates that NuPAGE® gels will produce sharp, intact bands that represent unhydrolyzed protein when compared to tris-glycine gels, particularly evidenced in lanes 3, 5, 7, 8 and 9.
Samples loaded: (1) Mark12™ Unstained Standard, 10 μL; (2) rat liver lysate, 10 μg; (3) lysozyme, 6 μg; (4) Bio-Rad® Broad Range Standard, 1:50 dilution; (5) BSA, 6 μg; (6) MagicMark™ XP Standard, 10 μL; (7) human IgG, 6 μg; (8) human IgM, 6 μg; (9) E. coli lysate, 10 μg; (10) Novex® Sharp Unstained Standard, 10 μL.
MYTH: NuPAGE® Gels Take Too Long to Run
FACT: NuPAGE® Gels Can Be Run in 24 Min at 250V
Standard Run Protocol
To obtain efficient separation, traditional Laemmli gels can take as long as 90 min to run. In contrast, the standard protocol for NuPAGE® gels requires 35 min at 200V. Moreover, our accelerated protocol can typically produce efficient separation in just 24 min at 250V (Figure 2).

Even pre-redesign (more on that Monday!), Elle magazine sure must be doing something right: Elle fared best amongst the magazines in its field for newsstand sales for the first part of 2007. Elle's figures went up by 9.1%, while Vogue saw only a 4.6% increase, Harper's Bazaar only increased its sales by 2.0%, and W suffered a 23.1% loss.
Wonder what the numbers will be like at the end of the year, when the scandalous Lindsay Lohan cover is taken into account?
Poor editor-in-chief Robbie Myers: if we've learned anything from their signatures, she can be expecting some poison flowers from Vogue's Anna Wintour by day's end, though Bazaar's daffy Glenda Bailey is probably too busy playing with her Simpsons figurines to realize that any of this has occurred.

I was also disturbed by the thought of children running through a cemetery, pulling up flowers and taking the mementos left on the headstones as their own treasures. That is clearly a parenting issue. But the more I thought about it, the more I began to think that Americans seem to have a very "Victorian" idea of death. It's something we don't talk about and we haven't changed our ideas on death in a very long time. The author made me feel as if I must walk through a cemetery as if I were part of a constant death march.
Please don't misunderstand, I firmly believe that a cemetery should be a place of reflection and respect for those that have passed before us. And I don't believe that children should be climbing on headstones or "treasure hunting" among mementos. But I also don't believe that myself or my children must remain quiet as a tomb as we explore cemeteries. Unless, of course, there were a funeral taking place. But in that instance I would wait to explore the cemetery at another time.
