Spread the word! New members welcome!
Very good looking Webster. Really like the finish. Looks like you have come to know your equipment pretty well. Only 8 days of building??. How many hours per day?Spent a lot of time in Georgia years ago. Ft Benning, Ft Stewart, Cusseta, Columbus. Welcome to the forumWe like lots of pictures (you have done that) and videos. Welcome again Ray
I`ll just give up now.... I`m building one of these, my build log is on the forum, and I must have spent more time just building and attempting a gear (still not done it!) than you have on the entire engine. I`m selling up.Chris

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.- The Harvard field hockey team seeks its third win in four home games this season as it takes on Northeastern Wednesday at 6 p.m. at Jordan Field.
Follow From Home
Admission to Harvard home field hockey games is free, but fans who cannot make it to Jordan Field can follow the action online. Harvard's GameCentral portal features live video with a single-game or season subscription, while GoCrimson.com offers free live statistics.
Last Time Out
In the Ivy League opener for Harvard and Yale, the Crimson fell short in a 1-0 defeat at Jordan. Harvard's Cynthia Tassopoulos had six saves on the afternoon, but it was Mia Rosati's goal with 3:18 left to play that secured the victory for the Bulldogs.
Crimson Capsule
The Crimson's leading scorer is Chloe Keating, with four goals and eleven points. She has six career game winning goals, with two of them against Northeastern.
Cynthia Tassopoulos ranks 14th nationally with a .773 save percentage and 25th with a 1.59 goals-against average.
History Lesson
In the teams' last meeting, the Huskies blanked the Crimson, 6-0, at Sweeney Field. The last series victory for the Crimson was in 2008 when Harvard defeated Northeastern, 4-3. Kylie Stone '09 made 11 saves while Georgia McGillivray and Chloe Keating were among Harvard's goal-scorers.
Scouting the Huskies
After a 9-9 finish in 2009, Northeastern opened this season with consecutive losses to Northwestern, Syracuse and Massachusetts. The Huskies have since turned things around by winning three straight, against Maine, Quinnipiac and Boston University, before suffering a 2-0, shutout loss to Providence in their last home game.
Northeastern scoring leaders are Kaela Barker and Crystal Poland, who have scored three goals each. Goalkeeper Lizzie Priest has 47 saves this season with a 2.76 goals against average, a .758 save percentage and a shutout against BU.
Up Next
The Crimson travels to Philadelphia to take on Penn Saturday at noon.

Tunisia's ruling Islamists to step down
Sep 28, 2013, 7:46 PM EDT
REUTERS/Anis Mili
TUNIS, Tunisia (AP) — Tunisia's governing Islamist party has agreed to resign in favor of a caretaker government in an attempt to resolve a political crisis that has paralyzed the country, officials said Saturday.
The assassination of a left-wing politician at the end of July — the second in five months — was the turning point for the country's disgruntled opposition, which pulled its deputies out of parliament and staged a string of protests across the country.
The opposition also faulted the governing Ennahda Party for ignoring a rising trend of Islamic radicals, some of whom attacked the U.S. Embassy in Tunis last year. But the government has since cracked down on these groups, throwing many of their members in jail.
Tunisia kicked off the Arab Spring by overthrowing its long-ruling dictator, Zine El Abidine, but its transition to democracy has been dogged by terrorist attacks, a struggling economy and widening divisions between Ennahda and the opposition.
After the second assassination, the UGTT, the country's main labor union, together with other members of the civil society, mediated between the government and the opposition for two months to bring the transition back on track.
"It is a positive development for Ennahda, which has accepted the plan without reserve or conditions, and which will clear the impasse," Bouali Mbarki, the deputy head of the union, said Saturday. He said his union has a written statement from Ennahda about that, and opposition officials also confirmed the agreement.
The road map set forward by the negotiators has Prime Minister Ali Larayedh's government resigning in three weeks as negotiations go forward on the section of an apolitical figure to replace him and an interim, non-partisan government.
Meanwhile, the legislators boycotting the Assembly will return to work and finish the constitution over the next four weeks.
An election commission also will be set up to fix a date and organize presidential and legislative elections in the coming months.
With a military coup in Egypt and neighboring Libya awash in rival militias, Tunisia has been closely watched to see if its post-Arab Spring transition can succeed.
Despite attacks by terrorists, a rising extremist trend and an often acrimonious political debate, Tunisia's politics have been marked by comprise and concessions between factions.
Political analyst Salaheddine Jourchi said Ennahda's decision shows that it realized its rigid position against a caretaker government was getting it nowhere and the balance of forces in society was against it.
"This concession is the result of pressure exerted by the opposition and civil society," he said. "It allows Ennahda to take stock of itself and put its house in order because its image has been badly affected recently."
He also noted that the constitutional assembly which is dominated by Ennahda, will remain until the new elections, still giving a strong say in the transition.

When should I switch my fish food and what should I use? Millie – Mayday, GA
Better Pack a Cold Lunch
As the temperatures begin to cool down at the end of the year you will notice a change in the behavior of your Koi and Goldfish. Your fish will start to slow down and become less active as the water gets colder as they prepare for a winter of dormancy. You will still want to feed your fish in these cooler fall temperatures. A change in diet will help maintain happy and healthy fish and prevent potential fish kills going into the winter.
A decrease in activity means that your fish are slowing down and this is not just in regards to the energy level but to their bodily functions as well. Your fish will still be hungry and want to eat but because their digestive system slows down they will require less food and will take longer to digest what you're feeding them. This can be problematic if you continue feeding your fish heavy high-protein foods in the cooler seasons. Excess food that has not been digested can begin to rot inside the fish before they can excrete it as waste causing illness and even death.
Fish food containing wheat germ like Pond Logic® Spring & Fall Fish Food are designed for colder weather feeding. Your fish have an easier time digesting these types of food at low temperatures which will keep them full and happy without putting them at risk. Knowing what types of food to use in colder temperatures is important but when do you make the switch? When your water temperatures fall between 40-50 degrees Fahrenheit you will want to start feeding with your Spring & Fall food. The best way to monitor the temperature of your pond is to use a Floating Thermometer and watch your fish for decreased activity. If they tend to just stay at the bottom of the pond and are not interested in eating before the water temps dip below 40 degrees then you can stop feeding early. Food that is left to sink to the bottom of the pond will turn into muck and aid in algae blooms come early Spring. If your fish are still active and eating you can feed them Spring & Fall food until the water temps fall below 40 degrees. During the winter your fish will just relax at the bottom of the pond in a state of dormancy until the water temperatures warm back up in the Spring.
POND TALK: What signs do your fish give that tell you they are getting ready for winter?

March 27, 2004
Off-the-wall Questions and Answers, Queries and Anecdotes from U.S. Women's National Team defender Kylie Bivens.
CC: What was it like stepping onto the field in the Women's World Cup after making the team as somewhat of a surprise selection?
KB: "Somewhat of a surprise? It was a total surprise. The first game, even though I didn't play, it probably hit me the hardest. ith all that was going on with the WUSA, with all the 'Save the WUSA' signs that were in the stands, and everyone clapping and screaming for the team I always dreamed of playing for...it was like accomplishing part of my dream."
CC: What was your best memory from the tournament, on or off the field?
KB: "The World Cup hadn't started yet and I was rooming with Abby Wambach. I was pretty much a new player, and I didn't know how the team would react to me. Then I get roomed with Abby, whose team just beat us in the WUSA championship game, and who scored the winning goal past me. I woke up in the middle night talking in my sleep, and we both just started laughing hysterically for 15 minutes until someone banged on the wall in the room next door. From then on, I felt a bit more comfortable."
CC: You were fortunate to reach two of the three Founders Cup finals from 2001-03. How good was the Atlanta Beat?
KB: "All of us had a winning mentality, but as far as winning the final game, we lacked a little something to go all the way. Still, we had so many talented players and I couldn't imagine playing for any other team."
CC: Will the WUSA be back strong in 2005?
KB: "I hope so, but I am making plans just in case it doesn't. I'm trying to get into grad school in Sports Marketing, so if anyone has any internships or job leads, please e-mail them to ussoccer.com."
CC: How difficult is it being a 5'5" defender and trying to shut down the likes of Abby Wambach, Cindy Parlow or some of those huge Germans?
KB: "The hardest part about playing against players that tall is not their height, it's how wide they are. I am not so concerned with beating them in the air. You might not win every header, but you can stop them from winning the ball. It's just their strength in holding you off the ball that's tough to deal with, and it's hard to see around them."
CC: Your fellow back line mate Kate Markgraf is still waiting for her first goal after more than 100 appearances with the USNT, while defensive midfielder Shannon Boxx has scored like 10 in 20 matches. [Editor's Note: She actually has nine goals in her 20 international appearances.] Do you think you'll be more on Kate's path or Boxxy's?
KB: "Probably more on Kate's path, but I would like to be more on Boxxy's path. I think that if one day I get to be a consistent player on this team, I'll get a goal or two and fall somewhere in between them. I got to play forward for one year at Santa Clara, so I am not totally unfamiliar with what goes on inside the other team's penalty area."
CC: In a previous Center Circle interview, Beat teammate Bri Scurry once said Atlanta in the summer is "as hot as Hades." Having spent summers there for the first three WUSA seasons, what would you liken August in Atlanta to?
KB: "It's just very, very sweaty there. Living there three summers, you just sweat like crazy. Your hands, your knees, it's just sticky. It's not that it's so hot, it's just so humid. It's like you are underneath a down comforter with the heat turned up."
CC: Your bio tells us that sushi is your favorite food. But be honest, can the sushi you find in Atlanta even compare to that of your home state of California?
KB: "Yes, easy. Harry & Sons in Virginia Highlands is some of the best sushi I've ever had. During the season, I ate there at least three or four times a month, but it's expensive, so on WUSA salaries, you can't go there too often. I tried making my own sushi once and it didn't work out too well, so I'll still be letting the professionals make it for me."
CC: How long have you been rocking the retro Atlanta Braves hat?
KB: "Every since I cut my hair short and didn't like it. I got the hat after I found out I made the World Cup team in San Diego, so I guess I wore it a lot during the Women's World Cup. As a matter of fact, I don't think I ever took it off except for games. I would have played in it if they would have let me."
CC: What makes a bad hair day?
KB: "I wouldn't know, because I've never had one...Yeah, right!!! When do I have a good hair day? You know what? Every day is a bad hair day, especially when I wake up and my hair is three feet above my head. Also having your hair 20 different colors and 20 different layers like always seems to happen to me."
CC: We hear you're a bit of an artist, with sculpture and woodwork being your most common mediums. Could you make a whistle out of a short tree branch?
KB: "That's a really stupid question, but I guess I have to answer it. That's the rules, right? I guess I could make something that looks like a whistle, but I can't guarantee that it will work."
CC: Who is your favorite artist of all time?
KB: "I'm more of a fan of painters. I'm not really into other people's sculpture, I'm more into artists who paint in oils. No one famous really, but I would go to art shows in the Bay Area when I was in college and a painter named Emily Long is someone I really enjoyed. She used bright oils and her work was very uplifting."
CC: Are you serious enough about art that you go to museum and gallery openings, or is it just a hobby?
KB: "I would say both. I'm not on the mailing list for the major museums, but Atlanta has a lot of art festivals that I would go to. I wouldn't buy anything because it was too expensive, and I really didn't have anywhere to put stuff."
CC: Which character do you most identify with from your favorite movie, "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory": Charlie (the main character), Mike Teevee, Veruca Salt, Augustus Gloop, Violet Beauregarde or one of the Oompa-Loompas?
KB: "No one really; I just loved the movie because I love chocolate. I can't watch the movie without a pile of candy bars in front of me. I so want one of those huge teddy-bear sized gummy bears just to chomp on."
CC: And finally, who's your favorite big-haired member of Bon Jovi and why?
KB: "I'd say Jon himself. We were both styling the same mullet hair cut the day we met him at the Women's World Cup. He also had beautiful hands, teeth, and let's just say, he wore his jeans well."

What I wanted to show you is how cute the wall hanging COULD BE and someday I plan to make it again and correct the mistakes I made on this one. I think I got the pattern off the Internet ...maybe McCalls site??...let's try this again, I forgot to attache the picture. :oops: :oops: I'm having trouble posting the picture.

It's no surprise that people like to try and build things from Iron Man. Iron Man is awesome. We've seen a Reactor Ring that doubles as a ring box, but it doesn't actually generate any power. This home-made Iron Man gauntlet on the other hand, actually does do some real Iron Man stuff, like shoot lasers.
It's not quite as good as the real thing. It doesn't shoot rockets or anything, but it can actually pop balloons with it's dual-laser arsenal. Pop balloons and also definitely blind people.
It's pretty impressive all around, but the laser action happens around 2:40. A real-life Iron Man wouldn't be able to get too much done just going around and destryoing evil-doers' balloons, but it's a start right? Surely next on the list are the jet-boots. Powered by bottle rockets or something no doubt. Sign me up. [Reddit]

WACO, TEXAS - The Lipscomb Bisons were outmatched by the No. 12/13 Baylor Bears Monday night falling 72-60 at the Ferrell Center in Waco, Texas.
Baylor sharpshooter LaceDarius Dunn, returning from a three-game suspension for a domestic dispute with his girlfriend, hit four consecutive threes in a two-minute stretch to open the second half and extend the Bear's lead to 17. Dunn finished with seven 3-pointers and a game-high 24 points.
"He's as good as advertised," Lipscomb coach Scott Sanderson said. "He's a veteran guard and their team feeds of him. He delivered the knockout punch in the second half."
Baylor led 35-28 at halftime. The Bears took their largest lead of the game, 59-39, with 9:17 left in the game.
The Bisons struggled throughout the contest with Baylor's length. The Bears scored over half their points in paint and outrebounded the Bisons 45-33.
Junior forward Jordan Burgason paced the Bisons with 15 points on 6-of-10 shooting. Senior forward Adnan Hodzic scored 13 and senior guard Josh Slater added 11.
Hodzic's streak of scoring in double-figures looked in danger in the second half. He made a layup with 4:31 left to extend his streak to 61 games. He grabbed a team-high nine rebounds.
Lipscomb scored six unanswered points in the final 2:10 to cut Baylor's lead by a third.
Lipscomb shot 36.8 percent from the floor and 35.0 percent from beyond the arc. The Bisons shot 11-of-18 from the line for 61.1 percent.
Baylor hit 45.9 percent of its shots and 40.9 percent from downtown. Baylor scored 15 second chance points off 12 offensive rebounds.
Quincy Acy had 18 points and a game-high 14 rebounds.
The Bisons play at UT-Martin Saturday at 4 p.m. Jonathan Seamon and Benjamin Seamon will be on the call for the Lipscomb Sports Network.

I recently saw the original 1958 version of The Fly for the first time and enjoyed it as a top-notch B-movie. Then I tried to watch David Cronenberg's 1986 remake and lost interest after Jeff Goldblum's face began to fill with pus. Cronenberg's propensity for the gruesome does nothing for me. Even though the original begins with a scientist found dead under a giant printing press that has squooshed his head and one arm into a bloody pulp — and murdered by his wife! — it doesn't rely on the gross-out to underlie the drama; all that's shown is the blood (briefly), not the guts.
Then there's the mystery: Why did the scientist's wife kill him with a… huh?… a printing press? And why is she so concerned about the strange-looking fly buzzing around the house? She may be a typically vacuous B-movie female character, but what the hell's going on here? The answer, of course, is that her husband's latest invention, the disintegrator/integrator, has transmorgified him into a fly! He's now a human with a fly head (and one fly arm), and the poor little fly now has a human head! So that pretty much makes The Fly a B-movie, but it's a good movie because it's not completely stupid. Vincent Prince looks like a creep, the performances are silly, but the low-tech special effects are inventive and the dramatic-tragic elements of the story are well-played. It's not a bad movie to check out if you just want to have fun.

Currently, my dashboard is used for three things: speedometer checks, radio, and arhythmic hand drumming. Pioneer would like to change that, thank you very much, with a souped-up in-dash augmented reality system that shows you where lanes are, recognizes cars and traffic lights, and even knows the identity of some of local stores.
The system—which goes on sale in Japan next month for $3,700—also includes a DVD/CD player, USB port and SD card reader, 5.1 center speaker, and Bluetooth, all wired into a 7-inch LCD display. To be honest, at the moment it seems to just confirm all the things you could see for yourself by just looking out the windshield. The potential for in-car AR is downright titillating, sure; just maybe not $3,700 worth. [AV Watch via CrunchGear]

Reaction to President Barack Obama's State of the Union address:
Reaction to President Barack Obama's State of the Union address:
"We hope the president will join us in a year of real action - by empowering people, not making their lives harder with unprecedented spending, higher taxes and fewer jobs. As Republicans, we advance these plans every day because we believe in a government that trusts people and doesn't limit where you finish because of where you started. That is what we stand for - for an America that is every bit as compassionate as it is exceptional." � Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., in the official GOP response.
"The president's willingness to take bold executive action on immigration reform is an important step, but Congress must act to take the broader, permanent action that is needed. Beyond the important result of keeping families together, immigration reform will strengthen our economy and allow law enforcement officials to focus on catching real criminals." � Rep. Jared Polis, D-Colo.
"He was talking about me but he has no ability to help me. ... When we look back 40 years from now and say, 'that Obama initiative in 2014 led to some change,' well, I'm sure that will happen. But I need a job now." � Scott Valenti, 41, an unaffiliated voter from Woodland Park, Colo.
"After five years, President Obama is clearly out of ideas. With few bipartisan proposals, Americans heard a president more interested in advancing ideology than in solving the problems regular folks are talking about." � House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio.
"Americans know in their hearts that something is wrong. Much of what is wrong relates to the sense that the 'American Dream' is falling out of reach for far too many of us. ... We are facing an inequality crisis � one to which the president has paid lip-service, but seems uninterested in truly confronting or correcting." � Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, speaking on behalf of the Tea Party Express.
"Today, the American people saw two very different visions for America. President Obama laid out a bold, proactive plan to improve the lives of millions, while the Republican Party in the House of Representatives spent the day rolling back basic freedoms for women across this country." � Ilyse Hogue, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America.
"On floor of house waitin on 'Kommandant-In-Chef' ... the Socialistic dictator who's been feeding US a line or is it 'A-Lying?'" � tweet from Rep. Randy Weber, R-Texas.
"The way he used regular people to make his points was incredible and effective." � tweet from Richard L. Trumka, AFL-CIO president.
"While the president's policies are proving to be some of the most blunder-prone in history, the 59 state legislative chambers led by Republicans are implementing major reforms that are having a positive impact and statewide Republican officials across the nation are leading with decisive action. No matter how hard President Obama tries to claim that 2014 will be a 'year of action' his track record of lies to sell Obamacare and his botched leadership of a dysfunctional Washington make us hope his actions will be limited at best." � Rep. Bill McCollum, R-Fla.
"Tonight, President Obama laid out a bold, optimistic agenda that challenged us to reward hard work, renew economic security for middle-class families and keep faith with our senior citizens. ... I am hopeful that Congress can build on recent bipartisan agreements to move this progressive agenda forward to benefit all Americans." � Rep. Wm. Lacy Clay, D-Mo.
"We were hopeful that President Obama would outline an ambitious new plan or offer more forms of executive relief to stop deportations. The president did not even mention a word on deportations. Although Obama had sympathetic rhetoric, we have seen this fall through before when he was not able to reform immigration in his first year as promised." � Cesar Vargas, co-director of the Dream Action Coalition.
"Political partisans are throwing punches when they should be reaching for common ground on issues where Democrats and Republicans can agree_issues like advancing equality and opportunity for women and girls around the world." � Ritu Sharma, president and co-founder of Women Thrive Worldwide.
"Tonight, we heard the same old promises from President Obama. Promises for a better economy. Promises for better health care. Promises for a better government. But after five years of promises, what do we have to show for it?" � Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus.
"While the president's call for additional support for broadband infrastructure in schools and libraries is welcome, any update by the FCC of E-Rate must provide the necessary long-term funding to secure a sustainable future for the program." � Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va.
"Our debt has nearly doubled during @BarackObama's time in office. Shame is due, not credit." � tweet from Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky.
"Tonight, the president talked of the many things that could be accomplished with bigger government through more regulations and spending. However, his solutions are just more of the same failed policies that have left Americans facing looming uncertainty, shrinking paychecks, rising costs, and greater dependency on the federal government." � Rep. Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas.

Creating Consumption views based on basic/interface views
You will learn
- How to use Core Data Services
- How to create a consumption views on top of interface views.
Make sure that your Eclipse Framework is opened in the ABAP perspective and that you are in the project explorer tab. From there expand the folder
$TMP-SHA (see 1 in the screenshot). Next, expand the subfolder Data Core Services and select Data Definitions. From there, right-click on Data Definitions, and in the opened ABAP Repository Object window, select DDL Source and click Enter.
In the new window DDL Source (Create a DDL Source), the Project is called
S4H_100_sha_en and the Package is called
$TMP (see 1 in the screenshot below). Enter
ZXSHC_AIRLINEQUERY as the Name (2 in the screenshot), Airline
Query, public view, VDM consumption view (3 in the screenshot) as Description and press Finish.
In the new window DDL Source (**Templates Select one of the available templates**), select Define View and click Finish
Code for the new created view named
ZXSHC_AIRLINEQUERY is generated:
In the generated code, we will replace
data source name
(2) with

Madam Rosmerta's Butterbeer cupcakes
In preparing for a Harry Potter-themed party, a staff member this week introduced the rest of us to the wonders of Madam Rosmerta's Butterbeer Cupcakes.
There are no words for describing the luscious, creamy aroma that rolls out when the lid is lifted from the cupcake carrier. If you are a fan of butterscotch, you will not be disappointed.
The "E-Z" version of this recipe, which we sampled, is a bit on the sweet side, but starts with a box mix and can be easily accomplished by teens and younger family members with assistance. http://www.mugglenet.com/misc/rosmertas/butterbeerccbycbaker.shtml
For foodies and cooks who want a challenge, we found another recipe, also at the Harry Potter fansite MuggleNet, which will have you making your own butterscotch ganache filling and your cupcakes from scratch -- http://www.mugglenet.com/misc/rosmertas/butterbeercupcakesbyamy.shtml
On a related note, if you are experiencing Harry Potter withdrawal, now might be a good time to check out Pottermore.com, the immersive online Harry Potter experience.
Designed for readers of all ages, Pottermore offers an interactive way to explore the Harry Potter books online, featuring information about places and people, as well as trivia and behind the scenes information you can uncover along the way by clicking on items hidden in the illustrations.

The Excuse
Here's a lame story for you: I was fortunate enough to stage in the kitchen with Chef Paul Virant of Vie back in February and never wrote about it. Why? I took a gazillion photos then lost the memory card in my home somewhere, knowing it would eventually turn up. It finally did, inside a shoe I haven't worn in three months! So now, much after the fact, I finally get to share the experience with you, visually enhanced by my photos.
The Restaurant
Vie is a three-star restaurant serving seasonal contemporary American cuisine, located in Western Springs, an older, established and very charming suburb about fifteen miles west of Chicago. Lots of beautiful, architecture - everything from art deco bungalows to grand Arts and Crafts-style manor homes. You don't see any new construction or McMansions there, which I appreciate very much. There's a sweet, thriving business district with a family owned butcher shop, bakery and hardware store that have all been there forever. Paul's restaurant, Vie, is nestled on a side street off the main street in its own store front. The BNSF Railway also runs through the center of town, with its long, ambling freight trains which gives the place a slower, Mayberry kind of feel.
The reason I asked to stage in Paul's kitchen is Number One, I find him approachable, gentle and kind. I used to run into him at the Green City Market a lot when I worked and shopped there. He never struck me as an irascible, fry pan-throwing, type of chef. This was comforting to me. Number Two, he is passionate about local, seasonal and sustainable food. That is what moves me most. Paul uses the best ingredients and has close, longstanding relationships with farmers and growers. He cures and smokes his own meats and seafood, pickles and preserves his own produce and he's been doing this long before it was trendy. For lack of better terminology, Paul Virant is the bomb.
The Mindset
So, on my way out there, I was really nervous. I kept envisioning I was going to make a giant ass of myself which wasn't out of the realm of possibility. Working in a professional kitchen felt like a big challenge to me and I had no idea what to expect. I was imagining I would cut myself, burn myself, shatter many plates and drop expensive cuts of meat on the floor. It was like a montage from a bad Jerry Lewis movie. After all, this is a three star kitchen helmed by one of the best chefs in the city: Food & Wine Best New Chef 2007, one of Gayot's Top 40 Restaurants in the Country, the list of accolades goes on and on. The pressure in my chattering monkey mind was building. Not to mention I was a few minutes late because of that damn freight train. Oy.
The Goal
My immediate goal? To learn as much as I could. To have an experience without any expectation. To be open to everything. To not pretend I knew anything I didn't. To be gracious. My long term goal? To use the experience as a building block to become more fluent in the use of seasonal ingredients. There are ingredients I long to take home from the farmers' market but feel mildly intimidated by how to best use them.
The Menu
This was not an average night at Vie. This was a very special night. Paul often executes seasonally themed dinners throughout the year and this was his Black Truffle Dinner. Paul bought a large amount (serious Ca-Ching!) of fresh, black Perigord truffles to infuse into every course. They are a fungus named after the Périgord region in France and highly prized for their earthy, pungent flavor - nothing tastes quite like them. Paul explained that a lot of hard core Vie regulars were guests that night, many of them accompanied by prized bottles of wine from their own cellars. He told me about one guest in particular who was coming, who had eaten at Vie about 500 times! (but who's counting?) Here is the glorious menu:

The Prep
My nervousness subsided a bit after I was greeted warmly by everyone in the kitchen. The staff were all young and very accomplished. There was one woman who had left a long stint at Alinea to work with Paul, another culinary veteran who owned her own farm in Michigan during the growing season and worked at a couple restaurants doing front and back of the house during the off season. One chef had been with Paul since the beginning and learned everything on the job.
We were each put to work - there was another stage there, a recent culinary graduate named Tom, and he and I were assigned to peel the soft-boiled eggs for the Scotch Eggs without breaking them and spilling their runny centers. The eggs that didn't make the cut were served to the staff as a snack on grilled bread. Meanwhile, Paul was next to me killing live lobsters in the most humane way possible which I learned is by running a knife all the way through their heads into the cutting board to make sure their brains are severed before poaching them in water. It was a little heartbreaking for me to watch, I must confess. But I'm a very conflicted eater when it comes to living things and also a hypocrite. I love lobster.
Gunthorp Farms chicken sausage that were laced with a ton of sliced truffles. Paul estimated there was about $8 worth of truffles in each egg alone! He was very generous with the truffles that night. I gotta say, they were really flowing. The eggs were then rolled in flour, egg and bread crumbs and put in the deep fryer later before the course went out.
The terrine of goose liver, truffle and cognac was made in-house, in advance and here it is in all of its visually stunning glory. They look like granite paperweights from the shops along the Arno.
A couple of other cool things that were happening while I was there - the pastry chef was brewing homemade root beer and one of the chefs was smoking pork belly so the kitchen smelled like heaven all day long.
The Show
Before guests arrived I went out with Paul to watch him go over the menu with the front of the house staff, talk about the wine pairings and how the evening would unfold. It was clear that Vie is a family restaurant and that Paul has cultivated a very devoted staff. I have worked in restaurants where there's lots of drama and dysfunction and Vie feels nothing like that. Paul had just gotten in a new small batch bourbon that day and he opened it and gave all of us a nice pour to take the edge off before service began. We drank out it out of short, plastic to-go containers. It was freaking fabulous.
Once the guests sat down I stood at the end of the line and watched the chefs do their thing. I did get to contribute to the plating here and there and Paul made a few extra dishes for the staff so we all got to try every course and also taste the wine pairings.
major bonus were these Vie regulars, who would come back in the kitchen and leave the staff glasses of their 1983 Mouton Rothschild for us to try. Sweet!! I mean come on, this is my kind of place.
It surprised me how much I loved the dessert. The truffle-walnut-honey combo was a winner; the cake so buttery-moist and the truffle very subtle. That combined with the crunchy nougatine and the infused Death's Door white whiskey? It smacked of a real manly man's dessert. Lots of earthy and rich, deep and sweet flavors.
The Favorites
My favorite things of the night were elements on the plates of two different courses but both were so simple and flavorful and I could replicate them very easily at home. One was the crunchy, seasoned chicken skin that topped the Scotch Egg. I call it Chicken Brickle. It is perhaps the greatest salty snack of all time. I can see serving that as a cocktail snack on it's own or as an accompaniment to a great salad. I know, completely decadent but so good. My dad eats this old world Jewish dish called gribenes - it's fried chicken fat - kind of like pork skins but chicken instead. I have to make it for him. Here's how:
Chicken Brickle Recipe
Heat oven to 300, lay the chicken skin (seasoned with salt and pepper) between 2 sheets of parchment paper. Place between 2 sheet pans and bake until skin is crisp, 1 hr.
The other is this fresh, gorgeous pea shoot salad that was served with the terrine course. It's tossed with shaved black truffles, salt, pepper, olive oil and vinegar! So fresh and so clean, clean.
The Recipe
Since many of us don't have the budget for live lobsters, I've asked Paul to give us an easy, simple Spring recipe using papillote - which is wrapping your ingredients in parchment paper pouches and cooking them in the oven - which seals in juices and causes the ingredients to meld beautifully.
Great Lakes Whitefish Papillote
(serves four)
4-5oz pieces whitefish filet, skin removed
5 T butter
2 globe radishes, washed and thinly sliced
2 spring onions, washed and sliced
1 white hakuri turnip, washed and sliced
4 dried tomato slices (olive oil packed)
4 T sauvignon blanc
1 c loosely packed herbs, picked (basil, tarragon, chervil, parsley)
4 ½ sheets parchment paper
Preheat an oven to 400F. Season whitefish with salt. Place sheets of parchment, shorter side facing you. Spread 1T of the butter evenly on each sheet. Place an equal amount of radishes, spring onions and turnips just below the center of the parchment sheets, season the vegetables. Place fish on top of the vegetable bed. Place 1T butter and 1 tomato slice on each fish. Top the fish with an equal amount of herbs. Fold shorter side over to meet the opposite shorter side. Starting by one crease, begin folding the parchment, each consecutive fold overlapping the one before. Continue folding to form a half cirlcle, just before you make the final fold to seal, add 1T white wine to each. Make sure each "bag" is sealed properly. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes (parchment should puff and resemble pillows), serve immediately. Cut parchment tableside, discard paper, enjoy!
The Big Thanks
One of the unfortunate things I did, that I feared might have gotten on everyone's nerves, was my propensity to say, "This is awesome," in a completely geeked out way every ten minutes or so throughout the day. It was an authentic statement for sure, but no doubt, highly annoying. I was so happy to be there, so honored to experience all that was going on, to learn, watch, taste and sip. And very grateful the staff was so kind and open towards me. I was like a kid in a candy store (chicken candy, that is). I love to learn and I value experience over things any day. I was tired when it was all over. I think I was on my feet from 1 pm to about 11:15 pm. But it was so worth it.
Big thanks to Paul, Jimmy, Albert, Anne, Kyle, Abra, Kennard, Tom, the Pastry Team, the front of the house staff, that regular (you know who you are) who brought the amazing wines to the kitchen and anyone else I'm forgetting - I cannot tell you how much I appreciate it!
For those of you who haven't experienced Vie, be sure to get there, special occasion or any occasion (the bar is great too) and also check out their cooking classes (scroll down the page) which I also hope to experience myself this summer.

Subscribe To Roger Ebert Doc Life Itself To Be Distributed By Magnolia Updates
I've already subscribed
Roger Ebert was the reason many of us write about film. The patron saint of the everyman critic nonetheless always provided trenchant insight whenever he discussed a film, finding the words his more erudite colleagues couldn't begin to summon. And when he loved a film, it was as if he loved it with all his spirit. You rushed to read an Ebert review because you knew he would give you a new reason to be enthusiastic about going to the movies, letting the lights dim, and just giving yourself to whatever you're about to watch, highbrow or low.
It's that sort of enthusiasm that filters through Life Itself, Steve James' new documentary about the career of the world's pre-eminent film critic and the story of his final days. The film is unsurprisingly powerful, given that James has been one of the leading voices in documentary filmmaking for a couple of decades now, with films like Hoop Dreams and The Interrupters pushing the boundaries of the genre. Life Itself made its debut at this year's Sundance Film Festival, and now Magnolia (via Coming Soon) has picked up the picture's distribution rights, and are planning a theatrical and VOD rollout.
Magnolia usually doesn't go nationwide with its releases, so you'll probably only get a chance to see the film on a big screen if you live in a major city this summer. But you will be able to order it OnDemand and see it in the comfort of your own home. Life Itself is also a CNN Films production, so by year's end, the network will be the exclusive home to a television airing of the film. And if you don't get a chance to see the film through those methods, you can always head to a local library and read Ebert's memoir by the same name, which the film uses as a jumping-off point.
James' film expands on Ebert's insight from that lovely tome, while adding deeply moving footage of Ebert's final days in medical care. James had hoped to complete the film while Ebert was still alive, though his passing (only a day after his posting about beginning to take it easy professionally) adds a melancholy postscript that allows the film to be the lasting memory of one of cinema's loudest and most incisive voices.
Ebert's wife Chaz helped present the film at a screening in New York City on Monday, and while she felt once again overwhelmed by the film, she did share one bittersweet memory. Speaking a day after the passing of Philip Seymour Hoffman, she revealed that he was always Ebert's choice to play him in a movie. Via THR:
"When we were at Sundance, I was talking to someone about that. I didn't see Phil at Sundance, but I was talking to someone, saying, 'You know he's here. I heard Roger would like [Hoffman] to play him in a movie, what do you think about that?' We were just talking about that last week, so…"
Was Hoffman the ideal choice? Sound off below.

I swear this is the last Pokemon character that I will draw and submit for a while. I'm just trying to fill some old requests that was made a while back. With this next lesson I will show you "how to draw Riolu, step by step". I really don't know too much about this Pokemon because I never got into the series that much. I'm sure that any of you fans out there will know who this blue dog like character is. Riolu is made up of two main colors, blue and black. He looks like an anthro dog that has long ears, orange colored eyes, and a yellow colored collar. As you can tell from the tutorials main picture, this Pokemon species is full of joy, very playful, and extremely energetic. No one knows where this specie of Pokemon resides because it is still considered a rear being, which means the location of Riolu is really unknown. Anyway, drawing this character wasn't too hard because it was like drawing a cartoon style dog. Coloring Riolu was pretty fun because I didn't have to go over board with the detailing, and shading. Drawing Pokemon characters is still something that is incredibly fun, as well as challenging. I know if you are a Pokemon fan, you will have fun learning "how to draw Riolu, step by step". I will be back in a little while because I still have much more on the way for you all to have fun with. Peace out all you Pokemon lovers, and happy drawing!

After signing a three-year, $45 million deal with the New York Yankees, previous Mets outfielder Carlos Beltran is parting ways with his 7,500-square-foot Sands Point home. The Long Island estate is in contract after less than two years on the market, reports The Real Deal.
The home first saw the market in early 2012, after Beltran signed with the St. Louis Cardinals. Shortly after switching up brokers and changing the ask to $4.725 million, after previously asking $5.8 million.
The only thing we know about the buyer is that he or she is "not from this country," and the final sale price of the seven-room home is private for now.
The home is a 30-minute ride from Citi Field and has seven bedrooms, six bathrooms, an extra large kitchen, a gym, a backyard patio, a pool, a game room, and a basement sports bar lined with television sets.

Emily Wendland, a senior in art at Bemidji State University, has been awarded the Eugene Dalzotto Purchase Award for the 2012-2013 academic school year.
Eugene Dalzotto, a former BSU art professor and chair of the visual arts department established a fund in 1992 to promote Bemidji State by honoring the exceptional work of art students. Each year a work of art by a senior student is nominated by art and design faculty to receive the Eugene Dalzotto Purchase Award; the piece selected will become part of the BSU teaching collections.
Wendland's current senior exhibition for her bachelor's degree in art, entitled "Transcendental Terrain," is on display at the Talley Gallery. The exhibition opened Nov. 19 and has been extended until Feb. 2. A reception and award ceremony will be held Jan. 29 at 12 p.m. and the reception will continue until 3 p.m. All of these events are free and open to the public.
"My show is themed around nature, but kind of with a twist," Wendland says. "The title is Transcendental Terrain and I got that from abstracted nature, it's a lot of animals that are morphing into humans."
The art exhibition features sculptural, ceramic, painted and illustrated works by Wendland.
Originally from Duluth, Wendland moved to Bemidji to attend Bemidji State. She says that living in Northern Minnesota has influenced the way she composes her art. Wendland describes her artwork as "quirky," saying that she likes to be able to smile at her work.
"It's nature, but then I add my sense of humor into it," she said. "They're a little weird. I like to make my stuff enjoyable."
Located in room 212 of Bensen Hall on the Bemidji State University campus, the Talley Gallery is barrier-free and open at no charge to the public. All activities in the Talley Gallery are supported by the University's Student Activity Fee Allocation Committee and Bemidji State University's Department of Visual Arts.
Hours for the Talley Gallery are Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
For more information, contact Talley Gallery Director Laura Goliaszewski, (218) 755-3708.

Can't direct suspension of MPs, MLAs facing criminal cases: SC
The apex court, which was hearing two PILs filed after the December 16 gangrape incident, said it can only give notice to the government on limited issues as some of the prayers made in the petitions were beyond its jurisdiction.
"The issue of disqualification of MPs and MLAs is not in our jurisdiction," a bench comprising justices K S Radhakrishnan and Dipak Misra said.
"What is our power on MPs and MLAs. Obviously, such a sweeping relief can't be sought," the bench said referring to the prayer made for a direction for suspension of MPs and MLAs who have been charge-sheeted for crime against women.
The bench, during the hearing, suggested that the PIL petitioners should have taken a ground that if the investigation into the cases was not upto the mark, it should be treated as "misconduct" on the part of the Investigating Officer.
The bench also asked the government to apprise it about the terms and references of justice J S Verma committee which was set up to review and strengthen the existing law on rape and offences against women.
While the submission was made about the disqualification of politicians facing criminal cases, the bench observed that without going into the status of a person in life, they should be put on fast track trial.
The bench was told that out of 4835 MPs and MLAs in the country, 1448 are facing criminal cases.
However, the bench said at the moment it was not concerned with the issue and decided to hear the PIL on the limited issues.

Death by moron / Has anonymous commenting destroyed meaningful online dialogue? Oh, hell yes
Here is my strange confession: I miss my hate mail.
It's an odd thing to admit, but in a perverse sort of way, I actually miss the wretched river, the rancid flow of puerile, nasty, sickeningly homophobic email I used to receive on a regular basis from the ultra-right and the Christian right and the Mormon right and the Bush-impaired whenever I would post a friendly, pointed column full of tangy liberal attitude. Which is, of course, all of them.
Oh, I miss all the lovely and positive email too, which outpaced the nasty stuff by a huge margin. But the hate mail was (and still is, what dribble I now get) very special indeed, great fodder for live readings, for the reaction of horrified disbelief of anyone who saw it, for the charming reminder of just how ugly and violent and grammatically challenged the human animal can be.
(FYI: the best of the worst of my hate mail -- about 50 truly stunning examples -- will be published in my upcoming mega-compendium of a book, "The Daring Spectacle." Get on my personal newsletter to find out more).
So, what happened? Where has all the hate gone? One easy explanation: the merciful EoB, the End of Bush. The extraordinary failure of the neocon mindset means that the most troglodytic of the haters have now retreated to the Caves of Ignorance to lick their wounds and fellate each other in assorted airport restrooms. Good news all around.
But that's only a small part of it. Something else is afoot, something more nefarious and curious and, well, downright sad. Fact is, despite the steadily increasing traffic to my column over the years, I now get far less email overall than I used to, either positive or negative.
You already know the reason: Anonymous commenting. Those semi-public forums like the one you see right down there, at the bottom of this very column, those "community" discussion areas borne of the blogosphere and spread to every media site imaginable, from SFGate to the New York Times to YouTube to Knitting World. Indeed, they're one of the most popular, widely used innovations of the Web 2.0 revolution, and they've dramatically transformed public communication and conversation.
For the worse. Oh, for the far, far worse.
I didn't always think so. I was, for years, an enthusiastic advocate of the egalitarian, free-for-all, let's-level-the-playing field aspect of the Web. More voices! More feedback! More participation! Bring it on!
Not anymore. As I've mentioned before, I now tend to agree with "West Wing" creator Aaron Sorkin, who said, "Nothing has done more to make us dumber or meaner than the anonymity of the Internet." Hyperbole? Not by much.
But let's spin backwards for just a moment, to a time before blogs and Facebook and the Web 2.0 socialgasm. There was this wonderful killer app called email. There was a concomitant killer innovation, called HTML links. As every newspaper hastily rushed its content online, suddenly reporters and columnists and hardcore news jockeys alike began seeing their bylines turned into a sweet, baffling little "mailto" link.
And lo, a revolution was born.
For the first time in more than a century, a fundamental shift occurred in the sacred -- but formerly quite cold and detached -- writer/reader relationship. Suddenly, readers could respond instantly to a newspaper piece, to the journalist in question, and authors could instantly know the effect and accuracy of their words. No more hand-written, snail-mailed Letters to the Editor that might (but probably won't) get published two or three weeks later. The feedback loop was made instant, and enormously compelling. It was lauded as a new era, one that would change the newspaper biz forever.
Or maybe not. Because now, that once-revolutionary connection, all those vibrant reader interactions I once cherished, have changed again. Or more accurately, have devolved dramatically.
That sacred relationship is no longer the slightest bit sacred. If you've ever spent much time in the comment boards of this or any major media site (or, of course, any popular blog), you already know: Anonymity tends to bring out the absolute worst in people, the meanest and nastiest and least considerate. Something about not having to reveal who you really are caters to the basest, most unkind instincts of the human animal. Go figure.
Thoughtful discourse? Humorous insight? Sometimes. But mostly it's a tactless spectator sport. It's about being seen, about out-snarking the previous poster, about trying to top one another in the quest for... I'm not sure what. A tiny shot of notoriety? The feeling of being "published" on a major media site? Or is it the thrill that can only come from hurling a verbal Molotov at the Great Satan of "corporate media," and then running away like a snorting 8-year-old? All of the above?
Do not misunderstand: It is far from all bad, and many intelligent, eloquent, hilarious people still add their voices to comment boards across the Interwebs, including ours. Hell, I still get terrific pleasure from reading some of the comments on a few of my favorite blogs, along with rich information, morbid humor, even new column ideas and unusual angles I never thought of. What's more, some of the larger media sites still have enough resources (read: overworked, as-of-yet-not-laid-off staffers) to moderate their forums and keep the verbal chyme to a minimum.
But the coherent voices are, by and large, increasingly drowned out by the nasty, the puerile, the inane, to the point where, unless you're in the mood to have your positive mood ruined and your belief in the inherent goodness of humanity stomped like a rainbow flag in the Mormon church, there's almost no point in trying to sift through it anymore. The relentless nastiness is, quite literally, sickening.
Solutions? That's easy.
One is to block it all out. Install and employ something like the fabulously named StupidFilter (which I wrote about last year), an elaborate algorithm that scans through and removes all insidiously childish, dumb, or otherwise moronic language from a given chat forum. Hey, it could work. The StupidFilter Project is, apparently, still quite real, though I've no idea if it will ever catch on. We can only hope.
There is, of course, another solution, and it's far simpler and more elegant and it would fix the entire problem in an instant.
It is this: Reveal yourself. Anyone who wishes to post a public comment must also post his/her real name, an actual email address, maybe even a nice little headshot. You want to participate and add to the conversation, criticize and parry and thrust? Great. Let's see who you are, honest and true. Fire it up. Debate. Engage. Let's create a real community.
No more hiding. No more anonymous cowardice. No more hit-and-run verbal spitwads and avoiding responsibility for what you say. Hey, writers and journalists have been doing it for years, posting our names and email addresses and even photos for the entire world to see. If Web 2.0 means we're now all in this public sphere together, shouldn't I know exactly who you are, too? Shouldn't everyone?
Will it happen? Not a chance. Truth is, anonymous forums still drive a ton of desperately needed traffic to every media joint that offers them, including this one. Until the novelty of anon posting dies out -- which I'm fairly convinced it will, relatively soon -- commerce wins. In a land where click-throughs are king, quantity still trumps quality, every time. Don't you just hate that? I look forward to your emails.

Many games draw moral lines in bold colors, where the real world is not so easy to categorize. Suppose that the player characters are faced with an overwhelming foe? Even unsavory allies such as orcish barbarians may be better than no allies at all. More disturbing, these allies may be honestly friendly to the PCs when all is done, overcoming barriers of race and religion. Will the PCs remain friendly with the bloodthirsty humanoid tribesmen when their mutual foes are defeated? Some would expect the tribes to betray them, but after the characters have honestly won their respect, even orcs may not be all bad.

Carbon Monoxide Alarms Kingsteignton Devon
Whenever we consume fuel, carbon monoxide (CO) is delivered. It is a petroleum gas that can be deadly when breathed in dangerous sums. Regularly called a 'quiet executioner', the particles of CO are unscented and undetectable making its discovery almost incomprehensible for people. CO harming is exceptionally unsafe and can happen right in your home. Truth be told, in excess of 50 percent of CO harming cases in America happen in the home. Every year, more than 10,000 Americans are focused on clinics due to CO harming. Along these lines, it has turned into the main source of unintentional harming passings in America.Carbon Monoxide Alarms Kingsteignton Devon
CO sees no difference amongst casualties and everyone is defenseless. As the rate of CO harming keep on rising, it is vital to take proper measures to shield you and your family from its threats. The most simple and successful approach to shield your family against CO harming is to introduce carbon monoxide cautions in your home.
Monoxide alerts are anything but difficult to obtain and are promptly accessible in the market. Organizations, for example, Kidde deliver CO alerts that are furnished with best in class detecting innovation which can identify CO precisely in any sort of condition. These monoxide cautions have a voice cautioning framework equipped for conveying voice cautions that alarm you of CO peril even before you will display any CO harming side effect.Carbon Monoxide Alarms Kingsteignton Devon
When introducing carbon monoxide cautions in your home, specialists prescribe introducing units that have a battery move down. Alerts with no battery move down will kill amid control blackouts or brownouts. With a battery move down, you can make certain that the unit will at present capacity and screen CO levels notwithstanding when the electrical framework is down.
Present day CO cautions additionally have a LED illuminated show that encourages perusing of CO levels even oblivious. Some monoxide alerts have a component called 'top level memory'. This enables the caution to store the most elevated CO levels for the day. Regardless of whether you're far from home, you will at present know whether the CO alert recognized perilous measures of CO.Carbon Monoxide Alarms Kingsteignton Devon
To build your assurance, specialists and expert professionals suggest introducing carbon monoxide cautions on each level of your home. It is vastly improved to introduce it close resting regions.Carbon Monoxide Alarms Kingsteignton Devon
CO harming is extremely perilous and can cost you many dollars in medicinal cost and lost efficiency. Introducing CO alerts in your house is extremely reasonable and it will shield you and your family from CO harming.Carbon Monoxide Alarms Kingsteignton Devon

We're just about 27 hours away from the monstrous battle between Miami and Florida International, and the return of Ned.
On the FIU campus yesterday, they held some sort of pep rally for the Golden Panthers, and a Deadspin reader attended. Here's his report:
As a student of FIU, there is no game we looked forward to last year more than the UM game. It obviously didn't disappoint anyone in attendance last year. It was right up there with the Marlins World Series games as the greatest sports games I ever attended.
So this year obviously there was a big demand for tickets and once again a lot of hype surrounding the game. To try to get the FIU faithful ready and excited for this game, the FIU Football team decided to have an autograph signing in the bookstore, which had a number of players and coaches. Obviously when i heard about this I rushed to get into my FIU gear hoping to meet the school hero that is A'mod Ned. With nothing but hope on my side, I tried to get my crutches to fake an injury to try and get Ned to sign one if he was there. No dice: I couldn't find my crutches but put on my goldrush shirt to get in the mood.
He ended up being there along with some defensive players and the back up kicker, who, when we asked a bookstore employee why he was there, said he had heard about the signing and was hanging out there pathetically, and the coach felt bad, so told him to sign things.
Well, whatever ... look, there's Ned! We hope he runs for 300 yards and pulls off the upset.
It's on!

Modular Environment by Alvin Aronson
The modular synthesis environment enables vast sonic permutations from a limited set of functions. Audio and control functions share a common language (Voltage). As a result the familiar concepts of notes, melodies, harmonies, rhythms and textures become transferable.
