Didn't think blog used to be about bicycling? Presumably. I took the same route home as normal and I went as fast as normal which is to say slow. But before I went home, I stumbled upon a mystery and it's the mystery of "Who the Hell Keeps Moving My Hat?" To that effect:
|It was on the hook before
Why? My cap wasn't bothering anyone. It was just on the hook, but someone moved it to the bookshelf. Why? No one else uses the hooks. In fact, I'm pretty sure no one else even uses the locker room. And furthermore, who even wants to touch a sweaty cycling cap? This is a greater mystery than Roswell and the Shroud of Turin combined, leading my to believe that some kind of alien Jesus-face guy is responsible. Maybe I'll leave a passive-aggressive note, which is the solution to most problems, at least if the goal is to be mocked on the internet.
Oh yeah, the part about bicycle riding. Down Mass and up Mass and down Mass again. Sometimes I wonder what would happen if I got a flat tire during a fast descent, but then I decide that it's not worth wondering about because in all likelihood the result wouldn't be awesome. Thus far it hasn't happened and I'm glad for it.
I followed a bus and the bus was labeled OMEGA TOURS. The last tour you'll ever take, I guess. Or this. The OMEGA bus was piloted by an ok driver and he mostly knew not to drive poorly and I passed him when I could and that was all that occurred between me and the OMEGA bus.
And 11th and Massachusetts, I watched a Peapod delivery truck almost crash into a man, the driver of the truck trying to turn right on red and the man trying to cross the street on a red light. They were both wrong, but I know with whom I sympathize more. The back of the truck had a little message written on it: Driver does not carry cash (only cashews). Hardy har har. I hope the driver carries a license and insurance. I'll never quite understand why PEOPLE WHO GET PAID TO OPERATE VEHICLES seem to be the worst at it. There's some sort of Marxist alienation of labor critique in here somewhere, but I'm just going to walk away lest someone shouts "pinko!" at me from the virtual galleries.
At Pennsylvania and 10th, I saw a delightful looking young woman in her grey t-shirt emblazoned with the Stars and Bars. Of all the places to wear that symbol, DC might be the worst. Anyway, freedom or whatever.
I don't know what Polk's Soliloquy is about, but someone had a car magnet on their driver's side door advertising it. I'm not sure how many times I've been stuck in traffic and thought, "hmm, I wonder if any of the cars around me are advertising a self-published novel. Wait, a minute, that guy!" In any case, he got me mentioning it, for what it's worth (very little).
Is there a way in which the scofflaw cyclist can fit into the American 'outlaw' tradition? Because I tried to imagine a hypothetical conversation between me and some cultural conversative-type fellow and I thought that maybe evoking the Tea Party guys (the first one, where they dumped the tea in the harbor. Outlaws and racially insensitive, so that's two solid American traditions, right there) and/or Jesse James (the bandit, not the Sandra Bullock ex) might help me convince this hypothetical guy that maybe my rolling through stop signs is somehow an ennobled part of the American experience.
Stopped at the store. Biked home tomatoes, cheese, sour cream, tortillas and limes. Learned in the checkout line that Harris Teeter employees are not unionized. Learned from the girl sitting on the rail by where the bikes are locked up that she needs to stop getting small shirts and start ordering mediums. I didn't learn anything about pretzels because I didn't stop the the pretzel bakery. I learned the crepe place has "summer hours," which makes me wonder how their business is doing. And then I learned that I was home.

Optimal modulation of ion channels rescues neurons associated with epilepsy
New research successfully reverses epilepsy-associated pathology by using a sophisticated single-cell modeling paradigm to examine abnormal cell behavior and identify the optimal modulation of channel activity. The study, published in the October 18th issue of Biophysical Journal, describes a procedure that may be useful for rescuing function in organs with excitable cells, such as the heart and pancreas.
Ion channels regulate the flow of ions into and out of the cell and are absolutely critical for a wide range of biological processes, including transmission of signals in the nervous system. Disrupting ion channel function can have disastrous consequences. For example, the severe neurological disorder epilepsy is characterized by spontaneous and recurrent seizures that are thought to be linked with ion channel dysfunction.
Dr. Erik Fransén from the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm was interested in examining neuronal excitability at the single-cell level and using sophisticated computational modeling to discover a way to restore normal neuronal function. "We studied ion channel alteration related to epilepsy," explains Dr. Fransén. "Previously, we showed that dysfunction of a specific potassium channel, KA, was linked to synchronicity, one of the key elements of epilepsy. In this current study, we focused on improving the functional behavior of the neuron and reversing pathological changes."
Dr. Fransén and colleagues studied the modulation of KA by substances known to influence channel activation. Sophisticated ion channel simulations allowed the researchers to examine known modulatory substances and to determine the most beneficial concentration of the modulators for reduction of abnormal neuron activity. Importantly, the optimization method revealed specific combinations of modulators that reversed pathological changes in KA observed in a patient with epilepsy.
The authors suggest that the optimization procedure may have widespread application. "The method we developed to functionally correct a pathological neuron can be used for other brain diseases where alterations of ion channels are involved," concludes Dr. Fransén. "It may also be used in other organs with excitable cells, such as the heart or pancreas. For instance, atrial fibrillation is one of the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmias with an underlying pathology of cell hyperexcitability due to, among other things, alterations of ion channels."

Beloved by conservatives and often derided as a nuisance by his foes, South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint has always had a way of ruffling feathers.
Now he will be doing the same, but from outside the Senate – from a perch free of seniority rules, powerful leadership structures and procedural quirks.
DeMint announced Thursday that he will be leaving the Senate in January to head the Heritage Foundation think tank, becoming what one senior Republican describes as the "CEO of the conservative movement." DeMint leaves behind a mixed record of success in bolstering the ranks of Tea Party-minded senators, but his legacy of influencing the direction of the GOP is likely far from over.
NBC's Chuck Todd and Kelly O'Donnell discuss the departure of Tea Party favorite from the US Senate, and possible replacements South Carolina Gov. Haley could pick.
In a statement announcing his surprising departure, DeMint hinted at a leadership vacuum in the ideological branch of the party that he's helped shape since his election to the Senate in 2004. "I've decided to join The Heritage Foundation at a time when the conservative movement needs strong leadership in the battle of ideas," he wrote. "No organization is better equipped to lead this fight and I believe my experience in public office as well as in the private sector as a business owner will help Heritage become even more effective in the years to come."
"Your effect on the inside sometimes is limited, especially when you challenge the leadership a lot. And Jim DeMint has brushed up against GOP leadership," noted Family Research Council head Tony Perkins. "I think he will be one who can rally conservatives on the outside and -- with an understanding of the inside process -- will be very effective in helping lay strategies for the conservative movement."
"It's an opportunity to develop policy and be in the leadership of the thought development of the movement without having to take into consideration some of the internal dynamics of the Senate," said Colin Hanna, president of conservative organization Let Freedom Ring. "I know from conversations with him that he's eager for an opportunity to develop ideas outside of the context of the leadership dynamics of a very complex body."
South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint announced he is leaving Congress to become a full-time political activist as president of conservative research group the Heritage Foundation. NBC's 'Meet the Press' moderator David Gregory reports.
The Heritage Foundation, founded in 1973 and situated just blocks from the U.S. Capitol, has been one of the flagship institutions of the conservative movement, churning out volumes of public policy proposals from hundreds of experts.
Never reputed for his affability, DeMint's new role outside the Senate offers quiet relief to some colleagues who found the stalwart conservative's tactics abrasive. In July 2007, for example, DeMint used Senate rules to force members to vote on a Saturday, then further enraged them by failing to show up in the Capitol for the vote itself. Lawmakers grumbled, sometimes publicly, about his opposition to the entrenched GOP lawmakers he helped defeat. He scored a major victory by winning support for a 2010 earmark ban, but only after battling intense behind-the-scenes opposition from Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
The move will also allow him to step away entirely from the daily routine of roll call votes and constituent work, focusing instead on efforts to nurture fresh ideas and develop new leaders for a wing of the GOP under mounting, post-election pressure to pipe down.
That's not to say DeMint's rally cries have always been heeded.

Sen. Jim DeMint talks on the phone in his office December 6, 2012 on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC.
Famed for his willingness to forfeit immediate political power in favor of uncompromising values, DeMint famously declared after Republican losses in 2008 that he would "rather have 30 Republicans in the Senate who believe in the principles of freedom than 60 who don't believe in anything."
That philosophy earned him a roller coaster record as a kingmaker in dozens of GOP primary endorsements made during his political career. As one of the most consistently conservative members of the upper chamber, DeMint recorded both landscape-changing victories, such as the successes of upstart candidate Marco Rubio in Florida in 2010, as well as humiliating failures like the defeat of widely parodied Senate contender Sharron Angle in Nevada.
In 2010 and 2012, DeMint backed several candidates who went on to win Senate seats and serve as lauded conservative luminaries, like Rubio, Paul and Mike Lee as well as senator-elect Ted Cruz.
But in both cycles, he also backed a number of candidates who either lost their GOP Senate primaries or went on to lose the general election. The 2010 list includes New Hampshire's Ovide Lamontagne, California's Chuck DeVore and Indiana's Marlin Stutzman (who lost their 2010 primaries), as well as Delaware's Christine O'Donnell, Colorado's Ken Buck, and Angle, who were defeated by Democrats in the general election.
In 2012, he supported eventual losers in Indiana's Richard Mourdock, as well as Missouri candidate Todd Akin, whose remarks about "legitimate rape" turned a potentially competitive general election race into a trouncing.
Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., shares his reaction to Sen. Jim DeMint's retirement and plans to take a position at the Heritage Foundation. Barrasso explains how the retirement will affect the Senate and also talks about the state of fiscal cliff negotiations.
The Senate Conservatives Fund -- a fundraising engine DeMint founded and later cut ties with in order to pursue a super PAC -- contributed to a total of 20 candidates during the 2010 and 2012 cycles. Of those candidates, 15 went on to win their primary contests, while eight won their general election contests. (One of those victorious general election candidates - Nebraska's Deb Fischer - won the group's support after its first pick lost to her in the state's Republican primary.)
Supporters of DeMint note that GOP candidates backed by DC insiders have also suffered their share of general election defeats and that DeMint's successfully elected proteges include some of the most lauded young conservatives in the Senate today.
"When you take a risk and you go out and you back a principled candidate, yes, sometimes you lose," said Perkins. "There are factors beyond your control and you don't always win, but the Senate is a much different place today because Jim DeMint was willing to take some risks."
In addition to his backing of controversial candidates, he has been no stranger to media backlash himself.
He was blasted in 2007 for saying that al-Qaida recognized "wimps" in Congress, adding "I believe a lot of the casualties can be laid at the feet of all the talk in Congress about how we've got to get out, we've got to cut and run." As early as his first run in 2004, he was pressured to apologize after saying that gay people should not teach in public schools.
In 2009, he urged Republicans to defeat the Obama-backed health care bill, declaring "If we're able to stop Obama on this, it will be his Waterloo. It will break him."
NBC's Chuck Todd contributed reporting.

(CNN) -- There has been much controversy about the two-game suspension the NFL handed down in July to Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice. Rice was caught on a security camera in February pulling his fiancée, Janay Palmer (now his wife, Janay Rice), unconscious from an elevator. He was charged with aggravated assault.
That's right, two games. I have something to say to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
Dear Roger,
We thought you really cared. We believed you when you said you wanted to create a more welcoming NFL game for women.
And all of us were touched by the compassion you showed with your Breast Cancer Awareness campaign, even though those hot pink cleats disturbingly clashed with every NFL uniform. Mr. Commissioner, you even talked endlessly about making NFL stadiums around the nation more family-friendly.
And despite all the disturbing medical reports of NFL players with life-threatening concussions, you have worked tirelessly to try to convince us moms that the game remains safe for our precious sons. (I forgave you for stretching the truth past all the medical evidence on that one.) And still, we thought: Now that man really cares. What a guy.
We repaid your good deeds by watching the games in record numbers, helping the league boost its television ratings. We even started turning up at stadiums around the nation and buying all those form-fitting team-branded outfits now made for women.
The NFL reported earnings of more than $9 billion last year, thanks in large part to women, who make up nearly 45% of the league's fan base.
So, knowing you as we do, there was no doubt that you'd send down the harshest penalty possible for Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice after he was caught on camera dragging his then-fiancee, Janay, like a rag doll out of the elevator.
Surely, you, like all the rest of us, must have been appalled by Rice's actions. Roger will handle it, we thought. No way the commissioner who prides himself on being tough on players who step out of line will let this atrocious behavior go unpunished.
What fools we have been. A two-game suspension? You repay our loyalty with an insult? And you expect us to accept that -- to keep on supporting your game? Not happening here. You've shown us your true face. And sadly, you, Mr. Commissioner are a fake, a fraud, a liar. Turns out you never really cared about women at all.
Where is the indignation and outrage you showed the world when handing down the indefinite suspension for NFL quarterback Michael Vick in 2007 after he admitted his role in a dogfighting ring?
"Your admitted conduct is not only illegal, but also cruel and reprehensible. ... Your team, fans and the NFL have all been hurt by your actions," you wrote to Vick in a formal letter from the league. "Your career, freedom and your public standing are now in the most serious jeopardy. I hope that you will be able to learn from this difficult experience and emerge from it better prepared to act responsibly and to make the kinds of choices that are expected of a conscientious and law-abiding citizen."
By your lights, it sounds like dogs are more important than women. Or perhaps you subscribe to the philosophy of my misguided colleague, sports commentator Stephen A. Smith, who raised the issue of whether Rice's wife somehow brought an "element of provocation" into the situation.
Rightfully, Smith was suspended for a week by ESPN. But at least he has faced his critics. You, Mr. Goodell, were hiding out in your NFL ivory tower until you were forced to face the league's female fans and try to defend the indefensible.
It's good to know where we stand with you now, Roger. We should have known that you were just stringing us along. Saying all the right words. Sadly, we love this game so much it was easy to look the other way. Easy to believe.
But you've gone too far. It's time for us to fight back. I'm declaring week three, Sunday, September 21, 1:00 p.m. an NFL blackout day in my house. That's the game when Rice is scheduled to return to the field after serving his paltry suspension. And I'm urging every woman I know to do the same. The blackout continues until we hear your apology.
You don't take 45% of your customers for granted. Because, in case you didn't know, Roger, without women watching the NFL, you lose.
And we are keeping score.

April 10 (Bloomberg) -- Corn stockpiles in the U.S., the world's top grower and exporter, will be 20 percent larger before the next harvest than projected a month, the government said. Analysts were expecting a bigger increase.
Inventories on Aug. 31 will be 757 million bushels (19.24 million metric tons), compared with 632 million forecast in March and 989 million a year earlier, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said today in a report. Analysts were expecting 836 million. Global inventories were also projected to rise. Futures plunged 24 percent through yesterday since reaching a record in August as the world supply outlook improved and high prices slowed demand.
Smaller-than-expected gains in inventories may increase costs for hog processor Smithfield Foods Inc. and ethanol producers such as Poet LLC and Archer-Daniels-Midland Co. About 41 percent of last year's crop was processed into fuel, topping the share used in animal feed for a second straight year.
"It's a smaller increase than people expected and should improve the interest from commercial buyers to increase purchases," Jim Gerlach, the president of A/C Trading Co. in Fowler, Indiana, said before the report. "All the attention now shifts to weather forecasts and the pace of U.S. corn planting."
Corn Futures
Corn futures for May delivery rose 0.1 percent to $6.4475 a bushel at 7:39 a.m. on the Chicago Board of Trade. Prices reached a record $8.49 on Aug. 10 as the worst drought in more than 70 years threatened production, eventually cutting the harvest 13 percent to the lowest since 2006.
Exports will total 800 million bushels in the year ending Aug. 31, down from 825 million forecast last month and the lowest since 1972, the USDA said. Last year, 1.543 billion bushels were shipped overseas. Sales in the current marketing year through March 28 were 54 percent behind a year earlier, USDA data shows.
An estimated 4.55 billion bushels will be used to produce ethanol and an animal-feed byproduct, up from the March forecast of 4.5 billion and down from 5.011 billion in the previous year, the USDA said. Feed demand will total 4.4 billion bushels, down from 4.55 billion projected a month ago and less than 4.545 billion a year earlier, the agency said.
Cash prices farmers receive in the current marketing year will average $6.90 a bushel, compared with $7.10 estimated a month ago and a record $6.22 last year.
World Output
Aggregate world output for the marketing years that began Sept. 1 in the U.S. and March 1 in Brazil will be 855.92 million tons, up from 854.07 million forecast a month ago and down from 882.5 million last year, the USDA said.
Brazil's estimated crop was raised to 74 million from 72.5 million forecast in March and a record 73 million last year. Argentina's harvest was forecast at 26.5 million, unchanged from a month ago while up from 21 million tons last season.
Global consumption is expected to fall to 862.51 million tons from 878.81 million last year and 867.75 million forecast in March.
Worldwide inventories will be 125.29 million tons, up from 117.48 million predicted a month ago, while down from 131.88 million a year earlier, the USDA said. Analysts surveyed by Bloomberg expected 120.41 million, on average.

According to an April Indiana University study, for those who've been recently dumped, the how — in person, email, phone, text — was just as important as the why in getting dumped. Unsurprisingly, text-dumping was the worst of all, but more and more breakups are happening over text.
If you've dumped someone over text, why did you decide that was the way to go? Tell us!

I didn't know if there was a place to go to, on stackexchange for this question, but since it deals with photography, I feel like I would ask here.
I have a few photos with amazing landscapes and have turned them into shirt ideas, custom for myself. I haven't been able to find a place that prints all the way at the bottom of a shirt, which to me is a deal breaker. Shirts look awesome when photos stretch totally over it. Has anyone had any experience with this type of custom shirts?
I'm trying to make something like this: http://www.designbyhumans.com/shop/men/altitude-sickness-skull-astronaut-abstract-shirt/6510/

The Wall Street Journal called The Supermarket Handbook the "manifesto" for a food revolution "that may be in the wind" back in 1973. And Nikki and David Goldbeck's 1973 best-seller did help revolutionize America's diet. The Goldbecks were early proponents for a broader acceptance of healthful foods and better food labeling, now mainstream ideas.
Over 30 years and many books later, David and Nikki still believe experiencing the joys of real food is the best incentive for people to do something about what is happening to our food supply.
It's a full circle moment when we can stop and compare notes with our fellow organic food pioneers. We're lucky to have become acquainted with the Goldbecks in their current hometown of Woodstock, New York, where they agreed to chat with us.
Nikki and David Goldbeck. Photo courtesy Hudson Valley Life.
How does it make you feel to see that the mainstream has come around to your way of thinking about food? Did you think that would happen?
Of course, it feels great. At the same time it's amusing and at times frustrating to hear people telling us about these "new" ideas. But this isn't the first time we've been there ahead of the crowd. David's book, The Smart Kitchen, pioneered green kitchen design. We wrote Choose to Reuse, a book on reuse in 1995, when reusable shopping bags were still a novelty, and we published Clean & Green, a book on nontoxic cleaning, before the stores were stocked with more benign cleaning products. We are glad to see all of our concepts are finally catching on.
How did you get started with eating a wholefoods cuisine? Can you take us back to the beginning? What led you down this path?
In the late 1960s, we were living in NYC, where David was practicing law in legal services and Nikki was working on Madison Ave. doing food PR and recipe development. Influenced by friends and the times, we became aware of how meat was "manufactured" and decided on New Year's Eve to go vegetarian for a week. After a week, we never looked back. This "experiment" led us not only to experience the joys of meat-free cooking, but began an awareness about food additives, food processing, chemical farming and the like — that launched us on our way.
We have always advocated a diet focused on wholefoods, a term we coined in American Wholefoods Cuisine, and define as "fresh and unfragmented foods that are as close to nature as possible." Our "Wholefoods Philosophy," which expands on this concept and is explained in more depth in that book, has remained essentially unchanged since we began this journey some 40 years ago.
What's the easiest way for people to change their eating habits, if they feel they should?
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to eating. What is of utmost importance in staying with any diet is enjoyment. Whether you are one person or a family, hate to cook or love it, there are choices you can make that are simple, healthy and fun. One of the ways we think about food is to "dine each day as if you were in a different foreign country." That way you get both variety and pleasure.
How can people use spices to make simple foods more interesting? Do you have a go-to spice that you find yourself using on lots of dishes?
Spices are the foundation of every good cuisine. Remember our advice to eat each day as if you were dining in a different foreign country? What distinguishes all of these cuisines is the way in which they take basic foodstuffs and flavor them to create the world's great culinary delights. Oddly, the spice we turn to quite often is cumin – it seems to work with so many different cuisines … Arab, Israeli, South American, Indian, African, and more.
Let's get back to your books. What was your first book? How did you write it? Did you test the recipes yourself?
The first book was Nikki's cookbook, Cooking What Comes Naturally, A Month of Vegetarian Menus. Following the "trial" vegetarian week, and constant questions from family and friends about what we were eating, David began writing down what we had for dinner on a calendar. After 30 days, we realized we had eaten more interesting and varied meals than ever before.
As a result, Nikki began to refine the recipes, David served as the #1 food taster, and a book was born. As luck, or timing, would have it, Nikki made friends with a woman on the bus going to work who told her that Doubleday, where she worked, was considering a vegetarian cookbook. And as they say…the rest is history.
Did you go on a book tour then?
We went on a small tour. But what stands out is our appearance on the Donahue show, which was just ending its run in Dayton, Ohio and about to move into the big time in Chicago.
Tell us about your visits on Donahue. (For our younger readers, Phil Donahue's show was the precursor to Oprah)
Over the next few decades we appeared three more times on Donahue, filling the entire hour talking about each of our subsequent books, starting with The Supermarket Handbook and then American Wholefoods Cuisine. He was a terrific host (even though he did wave around tofu and compare it to wallboard!) And it was quite a challenge, since there was no TV kitchen. We still laugh about the time we were holed up in the Drake Hotel in Chicago cooking on improvised equipment in preparation for the show where we introduced vegetarian wholefoods cooking to America.
Nikki & David cook with Phil Donahue.
Donahue turned over four one-hour shows
(c1974, 1977, 1979, 1983) to the Goldbecks to present their
approach to wholefoods shopping, cooking and nutrition.
You've also written a restaurant guide, Healthy Highways, to help people "avoid the fast-food lane" when dining away from home. Do you see this as a new direction in your work?
Healthy Highways is the next logical step in our food writing as we see it. We have written about how to shop for wholefoods, how to cook them, how to choose a healthy diet, and how to set up an environmentally-friendly kitchen.
But the missing piece was how to eat healthfully away from home. In Healthy Highways, we "travel" state-by-state, city-by-city, letting people know where they can find a natural foods store or restaurant that features vegetarian and vegan meals.
Our goal is three-fold: to help people eat well away from home; to bring customers to natural food stores and vegetarian and vegan restaurants; and, to encourage restaurants everywhere to pay more attention to people looking for meatless meals and healthier options. We are happy to say that there are more eateries around the country offering real (and creative) choices – not simply a plate of vegetables or salad.
Thanks so much, David and Nikki! It's been great to connect with you and to see you're still stirring things up in the food world.
Now in its second edition, American Wholefoods Cuisine contains more than 1300 recipes and has been hailed as "the new Joy of Cooking." Admired by M.F.K Fisher and nominated for the prestigious Tastemaker Award, this book is a culinary triumph of vegetarian cuisine and foreshadowed today's emphasis on wholesome foods.
And the Goldbecks have given some of the delicious, practical and healthy recipes you'll find in the book to our website.

Dinners in The French Quarter
After the days excursions we'd venture back to the Ritz to re-group and freshen up. Dinner was a necessary first stop before the Bourbon Street craze. It was a welcome respite; a time to linger over good food, bottles of wine and lots of laughs in a more relaxed yet formal atmosphere. (Formal in comparison to Hand Grenades and Hurricanes, relaxed in the sense that we're not at a loud, rowdy bar - you catch my drift.)Irene's offers lust worthy Creole-Italian cuisine in an old warehouse that underwent a transformation into a romantic setting housing multiple dining rooms with an antique-esque aura. It is highly regarded by the locals, and while you have to venture slightly off the beaten path it is still within the safe confines of the French Quarter at 539 Phillips St. It is definitely worth a trip and worth the wait. They do not take reservations and we were told to show up and hour and a half before we wanted to eat. The wait time (even though upon arrival were told 45 minutes) was closer to the hour and fifteen minute mark. We put our name in and ventured to a neighboring dive bar called Flanagan's where we enjoyed some pre-dinner brews, a Miller High Life for me! Once we returned we were seated in one of the dimly lit dining rooms, offering a cozy table amongst the ever bustling scene. With smells of garlicky seafood wafting, a bottle of Pinot Noir already being poured and immediately being served a complementary Bruschetta, I knew we were in for an excellent meal. The bruschetta just slightly toasted with the warm fluffy bread quality still intact was topped with gooey melted mozzarella cheese and thick slices of tomatoes accented by fresh basil. This proved an exciting bread (if you can even call it that) course, starting the meal of on a high-note after such a long wait. A delightful appetizer came in the form of a Soft Shell Crab, the crustacean was skillfully fried in a light batter, the immediate texture beholding an airy crispiness giving way to sweet succulent crab meat. For my entrée I ordered the San Francisco style Cioppino ($23). Upon being served a huge oval bowl beholding shellfish bathing in a most luscious, velvety smooth saffron scented fennel infused tomato broth; I'd just about died and went to heaven.
From the plump gulf shrimp, to the well-executed mussels, the briny clams to the flaky fish, all of it was just a-m-azing. I can't forget to mention those slices of ciabatta bread, achieving the not overly hard and abrasive but just crispy enough while remaining slightly soft texture. Seriously, this meal was perfect. Dessert saw a luxurious Crème Brulee and a rich Chocolate Hazelnut Torte in a vanilla raspberry cream sauce. The next evening we enjoyed a highly anticipated dinner at NOLA, one of Emeril Lagasse's restaurants located in the heart of the French Quarter on 534 St Louis Street. Thankfully, NOLA takes reservations and we were seated promptly upon arrival for ours at 8pm. The famous chef is known for his "New" New Orleans style of cooking which is essentially Creole cuisine with Contemporary American twists. The decor is in line with the cuisine, emitting touches of historic French Quarter elegance with an upscale modern industrial feel. Weathered brick walls surround high arched windows and dark gray pipes span the ceiling, serving to separate areas of the large refined warehouse space. A brightly lit open kitchen lines the far perimeter. A giant chalkboard menu boasting a list of cocktails in bold colors is tastefully eye catching set against a brick wall in the center of the room. Speaking of cocktails, I couldn't pass up the Sazerac which is a local New Orelans variation of an Old Fashioned, often referred to as the oldest known cocktail in America! Made with cognac, rye whiskey, absinthe and peychaud bitters - the Sazerac is seriously strong and provided an excellent apertif! With our meal we drank a bottle of (unphotographed) Rose wine but unfortunatley it didn't impress us. It was lacking any real depth and variety to it. The shared appetizer among us were the Wood Oven Roasted Escargot Rockefeller ($12) with herbsaint, parmesan and herb bread crumbs. This was my first time trying Escargot, the chewy morsels weren't at all intimidating allthough I think that had a lot to do with the flavorful preparation and the fact that they were oven roasted. It was something about grabbing a snail from its shell that had turned me off in the past, but I'd eat Rockefeller style snails anyday! My entree of Grilled Atlantic Salmon ($28) came over a bed of black bean and sweet corn succotash mingling in a chimuchuri butter sauce with a tomatillo salsa. The succotash is essentially what sold me on the dish over the more traditonal orders of Shrimp n Grits or Gumbo. (Which I tasted - and they were excellent.) A unique preparation made this otherise ordinary fish truly stand out. The salmon was grilled perfectly, displaying a nice char topped generously with what I think were dried onions. Their unexpected crunch added a welcome contrast to the soft flaky fish and flavorful succotash. Desserts were not to be missed! We enjoyed the Strawberry and Pistachio Bombe ($8) which was a creamy pistachio ice cream shell encasing a pink strawberry sorbet over a thick strawberry compote and sprinkled with toasted pistachios. But the clear winner in the dessert category was the Peanut Butter and Chocolate Cheesecake ($7) with Oreo crumbles, raspberry compote and chocolate drizzle.NOLA being the more expensive choice and Irene's proving a longer wait, still our experiences at both these vastly different establishments were superb. From the service with waitstaff who went above and beyond, to the perfectly prepared appetizers and well executed flavorful entrees, to the expertly crafted cocktails and the extensive wine lists. I will fondly remember these dinners in New Orleans not only for the amazing food that lingers on my mind but also the fantastic company. The nights were still young, even we didn't know how young at the time...and so it goes.....

Q: I'm jealous of my friend's waterfall. Where do I start?
Ethan – Kailua-Kona, HI
A: Waterfall envy. We've all experienced it. It's that feeling you get when you see those stunning synchronized fountains at the Bellagio in Las Vegas, some over-the-top displays during your local pond and garden tour, or your pal's 15-foot 20,000-gallons-per-hour jaw dropper. You think, wow, I want that in my backyard!
Let's turn that jealousy into motivation.
With some planning, some equipment and a weekend (or two) of hard work, you can create a waterfall that will rival the others in your neighborhood. Here's how.
Be Budget Mindful
Before you begin, think about how much money you want to spend and then work to develop a project budget. In most cases, the larger the waterfall, the more expensive it will cost—but some of those top-of-the-line accessories for smaller features can cost quite a bit, too. If you need some help, call a pond-building professional in your area who can assess your needs and suggest a starting point.
Making Space
You'll also want to consider how much room you have for your waterfall. Do you want to add a new feature to your existing pond? Alternatively, are you planning to build one from the ground up? In either case, how large will it be, and where will it go? Make sure that it's sized appropriately for your pond and/or yard, and position it in a place where you can enjoy it.
Changing the Look
If you have an existing pond and want to add a waterfall while changing the look of the water's flow, check out the ClearSpring™ Waterfall Filter. Not only does it provide maximum year-round filtration to your pond, but it also offers two weir options – a smooth surface and a ribbed pattern – to add diversity to your water feature.
Another option is to increase your existing flow rate by bumping up your tubing size and pump size. More water and increased movement can make dramatic impacts in your water feature, and it's an easy adjustment to make with some plumbing and pump swaps.
Hobby Time
Finally, think about how much time you realistically want to spend maintaining your water feature. Are you a weekend warrior with a full-time job, or do you have a busy family with soccer games every weekend? If so, you may not have a lot of time to spend on weekly and seasonal maintenance chores, like leaf netting and winterizing. A Pondless Waterfall Kit is an excellent solution. It provides the sights and sounds of running water with little maintenance.
If you have more time on your hands, consider adding a self-enclosed pond with pops of color to your landscape. The Colorfalls Basin Kit with Color Changing Waterfall Weirs is an easy-to-install system that includes a reservoir, the plumbing, the pump, all the fittings, double filtration, splash mat and even an automatic fill valve. The color changing weirs feature 16 patterns and 48 color options – which should be enough to make your friend jealous!

Creating a large e-mail system
Here's how one storage team transformed a monolithic storage design into a flexible, scalable system.
A few years ago, I helped an ISP redesign its e-mail storage to strengthen the application's availability, scalability and recovery. Many of the steps we took were to transform a monolithic storage design into a more flexible and scalable system, one that provided higher levels of availability and performance that may be transferable to other large e-mail storage environments.
At the time, the ISP was growing rapidly, adding nearly 10,000 new accounts a day. To keep the system running, the staff was constantly adding more hardware and servers to handle the increase in database traffic and more storage. It was obvious the current architecture would soon hit a wall as to the number of users it could service. The redesign needed to address these three critical areas:
|Lessons learned
Availability. This problem was the most significant of the three. E-mail couldn't go down for any reason. Nor could an e-mail message be corrupted without doing harm to the ISP's reputation. The new design needed database failover, dynamic multipathing and multiple mirror sets.
Scalability. Scalability was the greatest challenge, because the system was servicing thousands of users. The servers, storage and software had to be staged, cut over and reclaimed, and this process couldn't affect the users.
Recovery. Management also wanted to add new features that would allow fast recovery of a corrupted database and off-site archival of low-usage accounts. This required multiple mirrors, scripts to trigger synchronization points and a large common repository that could be mirrored remotely for the highest level of recovery.
Monolithic approach
The e-mail system stores all security and account information for the individual e-mail users in a database, and all messages in a file systems. Originally, database and file system data were on the same physical drives, channels and subsystems without regard for the distinct performance characteristics of each data type. The storage subsystem was trashing between random, small block and sequential, large block data.
The server layout wasn't optimized for performance, either. Large servers handled the massive amount of database traffic while also streaming message objects to users. Each Sun 6000 server ran the e-mail application and an Oracle database. While these machines have decent I/O and expandability, the database was using a lot of system resources. Message streaming lowered the CPU usage, but consumed the majority of I/O bandwidth. At first glance, this doesn't seem like a bad solution. The two applications are using different resources within the same server. Oracle was using mainly CPU and memory, and the e-mail application was using only the I/O subsystem.
A database server is typically much more complex and finely tuned than a file server. Add the fact that both are tuned differently, and you begin to have problems. The combination of these two applications had availability implications. A slight problem that causes a sensitive database to hang wouldn't have affected a simple file server. In addition, the scaling of a large server required either buying more large servers or consolidating on an even larger server. The solution: Decouple the database and file system servers. This was also done at the data level, which I'll discuss next.
As mentioned earlier, the e-mail system was composed of both message files and database objects. The original design treated these two distinct data types as equals. This caused all sorts of I/O problems. The channel utilization for the storage subsystem was low because of the mix of block sizes. The mixture of random and sequential data caused trashing within the cache with minimal reuse. Physical recovery was difficult because it was necessary to restore the full volume to another disk and then pull off the needed data. The only logical step was to isolate the database and message file data so they could be tuned and matched with the resources needed to provide an optimum solution. This sounds good in theory, but how could we redesign the entire e-mail system while still servicing thousands of users with no downtime?
Modular approach
As we moved from a monolithic to modular architecture, the e-mail system redesign took several phases to complete. In the first phase, the database and file system servers were decoupled to make better use of the available resources. The 6000-class Suns were replaced with 4000-class systems and 200-class systems were used for file servers. (The 6000s were redeployed for another project within the company.) In the second phase, we built new storage modules. The next phase migrated users off the hardware to the new modules, which were built from the decommissioned hardware; so the only new hardware needed was for the initial module. Users were migrated when there was the smallest amount of e-mail traffic. It's important to note the features that were added to the redesigned system to increase the e-mail system's availability: failover and dynamic multipathing.
The failover strategy was an elegant solution consisting of a dual server architecture and implementation of an Oracle standby database. In the event of a problem with the active server, the failover software would cut over to the stable server and use the standby database. The standby database was kept synchronized by updating the standby server's logs on a periodic basis. This made maintenance and upgrades non-disruptive.
Dynamic multipathing also improved channel utilization, thus enhancing performance. A total of eight paths were used in this implementation with four dedicated to each server (see "Final e-mail system" on this page). The multipathing allowed for host bus adapter (HBA) failures without affecting the database environment. Dynamic multipathing was also implemented on the file servers, primarily for performance.
|Final e-mail system
With servers and storage decoupled, and with clustered servers, this e-mail system provides high availability and performance. Maintenance without downtime is easier.
Near-linear scalability
Another goal for this redesign was to increase scalability so that a new module could be added at any time without disrupting the entire e-mail system. This meant the modules had to be self-contained and independent of each other while working together to service the e-mail customers. This building-block approach is found today in several storage utility models, but at the time was relatively new for an e-mail application. Below is a depiction of the near-linear scaling model.
Each module consisted of two disk arrays. The first array was mirrored with relatively small physical drives and a large cache. It was fitted with the maximum number of front-end channel adapters. Large physical disks were also included in the array for the mirrored copies. In addition to the disk arrays, there were the servers, which included two high-end database servers configured for high availability and another smaller file server. The servers were connected to the database array and message file array, respectively.
A complete module consisted of three servers and two disk arrays with ports reserved for recovery channels. The e-mail modules were built in distinct phases as follows:
Phase 1: Server segmentation. To create the level of scalability needed to handle almost 10,000 new accounts per day, the first task was to decouple the database and message files servers. Once the servers were in place with the storage systems, the next two phases of data migration could proceed.
Phase 2: Database migration. The database migration was performed during a window late in the week when usage was lowest. Once a working database was migrated over, the message files could be moved next.
Phase 3: Message migration. The message file migration was performed during the same window as the database migration. Once the messages and databases were verified as functional, the network was pointed to the new servers, and e-mail operations continued on the new e-mail module.
Phase 4: Recovery.The final phase was to connect the open channel ports for data archival and remote mirroring. This phase was done without any risk of downtime.
These phases were repeated four times over a four-week period to create a scalable system of four e-mail modules.
Further enhancements
The final enhancement to the e-mail system was the addition of several recovery features. First, two volumes for every active volume were left unused for the purpose of providing a mirror.
The first volume would be synchronized with the active data on a two-hour interval. This allowed for an incremental recovery of no more that two hours worth of e-mail activity.
The second volume was synchronized on a 12-hour interval. This volume was for any corruption errors that weren't found in the two-hour window before the first volume would be resynchronized and thus overwritten. This volume could also be used for future asynchronous remote mirroring.

Gonzalo Segares joined Fire teammates Sean Johnson and Orr Barouch in representing his country this month after being recalled to the Costa Rican national team for two friendlies at Cuba and Venezuela to close out the Ticos 2011 campaign.
The call up was Segares' first under recently hired manager Jorge Luis Pinto as well as being the Fire left back's return to his national side since appearing a pre-World Cup friendly at Slovakia in May 2010.
Similar to the United States' January training camp, Segares was included in a roster made up of mostly domestic-based Costa Rican players that are in the midst of their offseason, though the veteran Fire defender was joined by fellow MLS countrymen Michael Umaña (Chivas USA), Roy Miller (New York) and Rodney Wallace (Portland) along with former Fire defender David Myrie (now playing with Norwegian side Frederikstad).
"It's always special to get called up to the national team," Segares said. "To have this opportunity again after about 18 months away is really motivating for me to get in the mix for the team that will begin qualifying next year."
Having led the Fire with career highs in competitive appearances (38) and minutes played (3408) during 2011, Segares admitted to taking time away from the playing field following the end of post-season training November 11. The postseason respite perhaps made the first few days of training around the December 11 match at Cuba more difficult to deal with.
"The training [under Pinto] has been really demanding physically and mentally. I came in after three weeks of vacation so my fitness level was very low. It was hard at first to go from zero to practicing at one-hundred percent. We did double sessions most days and practices were very intense."
Cuba in December?
December isn't a time where a lot of national team activity goes on worldwide, but the purpose of the December 11 match at Cuba was to celebrate the centenary of the nation's first-ever match, held December 11, 1911 against none other than Costa Rica.
A place that so few Americans are able to travel (I still remember the few brave U.S. supporters that ventured there for a 2008 World Cup qualifier), Segares touched on the night-and-day differences between the Caribbean island and much of the rest of the Western world.
"Going to Cuba was a very nice experience. We didn't get to see much of the country but the people were very kind. What strikes you is from the time you get off the plane you see a country whose infrastructure is stuck in the 1950s. In the streets you don't see many cars but the ones that stick out are all the 1950 Chevrolets that are kept as if they were brand new. It was a very interesting experience."
As for the soccer side of the trip, Segares entered as a halftime substitute for Wallace before Cuba'sHeviel Cordovés put the hosts up 1-0 from the spot in the 57th minute. The visiting Ticos left it late as Kenny Cunningham headed home a cross from Diego Estrada in the 92nd minute to rescue a 1-1 draw in Havana.
On to Venezuela
In an end-of-the year tour that might have driven the U.S. State Department crazy, the team returned to San Jose for the resumption of camp ahead of the final match of 2011 away to Venezuela on December 22.
This time, Segares started and went the full 90 during the match in Barqusimeto, as the visitors used goals from Wallace and Jose Miguel Cubero gave the side its first victory under Pinto.
Segares played mostly in a defensive posture, unable to move forward while locking down the left side of the field in the 2-0 victory.
The game against Venezuela was the last opportunity for most of us to impress the coach to be taken into consideration for the next year's qualifiers. It was a hard game, playing in front of about 30,000 people and knowing the improvements Venezuela has made as a team recently but it proved to be a good victory for us."
Looking Ahead to Qualifying
With 2011 in the books, Pinto will begin finalizing his plans for the start of CONCACAF semifinal World Cup qualifying, which sees his side grouped with the likes of Mexico, El Salvador and Guyana beginning in June.
Given his country's heartbreaking scenario of failing to qualify regionally via a last-gasp header from U.S. defender Jonathan Bornstein in October 2009, before falling to Uruguay the next month in the intercontinental playoffs, Segares sees extra motivation for his country heading into 2014 qualification.
"I was very disappointed with how the last qualifiers ended. We were so close and to lose in the last minutes was devastating. There's always motivation to play the qualifiers and since we didn't make it in 2010 this time is a must-win and there is a lot of pressure on everyone. Right now we hope to be ready for the beginning of qualifying and to have a good start and keep the momentum going through every stage, unlike in 2009 we took the foot off the gas at the end after we had a great start."
After seeing his country make 10 coaching changes over the last decade and three since his last call up, the veteran left back is hopeful for more stability through the 2014 qualifying cycle.
"This time the Federation is trying to have a process hopefully with one coach and not three like last time. Pinto is a coach that knows a lot and focuses on every detail so you have to concentrate one-hundred percent in the practices."
The Colombian manager has previously been through the revolving door of national team coaches, having previously guided Costa Rica through the semifinal round of CONCACAF qualifying for the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany. Pinto has deputized two accomplished former Costa Rican players as his assistants in former Chicago Fire striker Paulo Wanchope and defender Luis Marin. Both members of the Ticos 2002 and 2006 World Cup squads, the pair have over 200 caps for Costa Rica between them.
As for Segares' chances at the qualifying roster, his main competition at left back will be Wisla Krakow defender Junior Diaz, who has appeared out wide for most of the team's major matches this year. Still, the seven-year Fire veteran could well push for time in the squad, leading to the possibility of more international matches next season with pending Olympic duty for Sean Johnson and Israel U-21 duty for Orr Barouch. This all follows a 2011 campaign where the Fire saw only Guatemalan midfielder Marco Pappa leave the team to play for his country.
Whatever happens, Segares is thankful for his health over the last year, the ability to return to his national side and believes this month's camp will better prepare him for Fire preseason training starting January 20 in Ave Maria, FL.
"I think last year I was fortunate enough to stay away from injuries. I feel very good physically and had a few weeks off so this time with the national team has helped me to get back in shape. I learned a lot from the coaches so I feel, even over the last few weeks, I've matured as a player. Overall this time is going to help me be prepared for preseason to come in good shape and be ready for 2012. After two years away from the playoffs, we must qualify this year and look to win it all."

please help! 2 great pigs in need of a loving home
Post Reply
Down 4 posts • Page 1 of 1
I am in Charlottesville Virginia and have 2 female 1+ year old guinea pigs (black and white and brown and white) that we care for very much but will not be able to take with us to our new living situation. Biggy and Stomper are healthy, well taken care of animals that are ready to find their next home. They come with a habitat, some food, a large back of hay, 2 large bags of litter, a brush, and nail clippers.
It is very difficult for us to surrender these members of our family and any help in finding them a good home is much appreciated.

Perhaps you could contact the ASPCA and see if they have anyone looking for guinea pigs to adopt. Sometimes a vet (if you have one) knows of a pet owner who has lost one of their guinea pigs and is looking for another. I don't think there are any guinea pig specific rescues in Charlottesville.
- Lynx
I only know of one very new owner of guinea pigs in C'ville who is unlikely to want more. It is difficult to find good caretakers. Feel free to print out a care pamphlet. Be sure not to offer them for free or there may be unintended consequences (snake food).

Rams girls basketball falls at Darien, 46-21
Recommended Video:
Whenever Darien and New Canaan meet on a rink, court or field, the intensity level tends to increase a few levels. While that certainly held true in the first quarter of the girls basketball match-up at Darien High School last Saturday, the Blue Wave ultimately tamed the Rams and cruised to a convincing 46-21 victory.
With the win, Darien improved to 8-8 in the FCIAC and 9-9 overall, while New Canaan (3-15, 2-13 FCIAC) is still trying to gain traction in its season.
"We had too many turnovers in the second half," said Rams head coach Kim Palmer. "And when [Darien] capitalizes, they go on a run, and we unfortunately were not able to bounce back. The second half wasn't meant to be for us."
In a stronger first quarter performance, New Canaan captain Ali Reilly hit a three-pointer to get the Rams going. They continued to move the ball well and control the boards on both ends, which produced a 10-7 New Canaan lead after eight minutes.
Then, the tide turned.
The Blue Wave shook off its sluggishness, switched to a 1-3-1 formation and started getting more pressure in their zone. The remainder of the game was all Darien.
Senior Emily Stein led the charge with seven of her game-high 19 points in the second quarter, as Kelly Karczewski added six points of her own. Darien took a comfortable 24-16 lead into the half.
The Wave didn't slow down in the third quarter, as they kept hitting shots from the perimeter. Darien knocked down five three-pointers in that quarter alone, three of which came from Stein, who had five treys on the day. The Wave's Casey Ryan and Karczewski collected the other two.
"By making all those shots, it's contagious," said Darien co-captain Avery Maley. "We got the momentum, and that kind of shut them down a little bit. This game pushes us forward and gives us a more positive attitude."
Meanwhile, Darien's defensive play flummoxed the Rams, who managed only three points for the quarter.
"It was nice that we could not only play good D, but we could also make our offense work," said Darien head coach Kate Lauten. "And not just off the fast breaks, we were actually running through sets and running through our plays."
Reilly topped all scoring for the Rams with 10 points, propelled two three-pointers. The other double-digit scorer for the game was Karczewski, who tallied 16 points.
Collectively, the Wave was 8-13 on free throws, and the Rams were 3-6.
"It's never easy to lose to your rival," Reilly said. "We started off strong, we had good momentum, but somewhere in the second and third quarter we got disconnected."

Emily Stein, 0 7-9 3; Kelly Karczewski 5 6-3 2; Casey Ryan, 0 0-3-0; Annie Wright 0 3-0 0; Emily Coyle 0 0-0 2; Kate Fiore 0 2-0 0; Avery Maley 2 0-0 0;

Nov. 14, 1949 – June 17, 2013
Mark Louis Kaiser, former principal of Holmes Elementary School in the Town of Tonawanda, died June 17 in Greenfield Health and Rehabilitation Center in Lancaster. He was 63.
A Buffalo native, Mr. Kaiser was a 1967 graduate of Williamsville Central High School. He received his bachelor's degree from Fordham University in 1970 and went on to receive a master of science degree in education from Buffalo State College in 1977.
He began his teaching career in 1972 as a second-grade teacher at the Academy School in Williamsville.
"He was a master of elementary education, a position he loved, and was beloved by his students and their parents alike," said Margaret Louise Kaiser, his wife.
Before taking over leadership of Holmes, Mr. Kaiser served as superintendent of buildings and grounds in the Ken-Ton School District.
An Amherst resident, he was appointed principal at Holmes in 1993. During his tenure, the school was honored numerous times for excellence.
"He really showed his leadership and organization skills while at Holmes," Mrs. Kaiser said.
In 1997, the school was awarded a certificate of recognition from the state Department of Education. Buffalo State named Holmes a Professional Development School in 2002, citing the school for its "commitment to the professional preparation of pre-service teacher candidates."
An avid sportsman, Mr. Kaiser was an accomplished fly fisherman and sailor.
"He loved to fish the streams around Western New York," his brother Steven said, adding that he had traveled to Alaska to fish for graylings.
Mr. Kaiser owned and sailed boats on lakes Erie and Ontario. He was a member of the Tuscarora Yacht Club.
In addition to his wife and brother, he is survived by a son, Matthew A.; a daughter, Jessica; another brother, Robert A.; and his first wife, Sandy Beth Barton.
