Since joining Skyy Spirits in early 1998, Mr. Foglio has worked to expand the brand pioneered by company founder and President Maurice Kanbar. He has increased awareness of the brand and helped give it a cache that appeals to 21- to 35-year-old drinkers.
"The cobalt blue package is elegant. We have a great name. We have a style to the brand that really speaks to today's consumer-sophistication, fun, innovation, and confident," says Mr. Foglio, 53.
He's been responsible for expanded U.S. distribution from bars and liquor stores in major cities to smaller markets, initiated global sales, and expanded merchandise lines to include director's chairs, an atomizer for martinis and more.
According to Competitive Media Reporting, Skyy spent $3.5 million on advertising in 1998.
How did Mr. Foglio get wholesalers, who may carry 5,000 products, to push his? By repeating his mantra: "Nobody makes a purer vodka than we do."
"I think we have a very clear message of where we are going and where we are today," he says. "It's raising awareness at the right levels."
Making beverages stand out is no easy task in so crowded and trendy a field, but Mr. Foglio has high hopes. He plans to continue Skyy's double-digit growth of

The design of technological interventions and their ex ante evaluation is one of the most critical steps in farming systems research, since it is an initial effort to find solutions to those problems prioritised by farmers. This paper discusses the design of technological interventions with reference to criteria for designing technological interventions, and elements required for the description of technological options. It highlights ex-ante assessment of technological interventions with regard to estimation of potential biological responses; use of quantitative formats; and use of simulation models. This paper also examines the different procedures for estimating the economic feasibility of technological interventions in a system, which include partial budget techniques, gross-margin analysis, cost-benefit analysis; sensitivity analysis, cash flow analysis, and labour profile analysis. Farmer's participation in ex-ante evaluation of technological interventions, and techniques for ranking and scoring alternatives are also outlined in this paper.

I can honestly say that I've never felt quite the gut punch with any Star Wars comic like the one I felt during this book. This is the final issue to undoubtedly the best Star Wars comic book in years; it sticks the landing completely. This is Tohm's story coming full circle, as writer Haden Blackman spectacularly demonstrates what blind devotion to the Empire – and Darth Vader himself – can do to a man.
Throughout the series, Blackman put readers in the uncomfortable position of rooting for an Imperial Officer. In the finale, he plays off of our bizarre adoration for this character and uses it to construct a tragedy befitting of the Star Wars Universe while also giving us a sick feeling in the pit of our stomachs; though we might feel for him as a protagonist, we kind of enjoy watching him get what he deserves. This is a script chock full of moral ambiguity and complicated themes that surpasses the basics of the Star Wars philosophy in general; this isn't a clear cut black-and-white morality play – Ghost Prison is entirely shades of gray.
Where the script falters a bit is in its convenient plot device to get all of the characters together in one place for their big shootout. And for the amount of setup that the prisoners received in earlier issues, particularly the emotional connection that Tohm shared with Volta, they get minimal resolution here. That said, the focus is spent instead on creating this incredibly powerful lesson in loyalty.
Agustin Alessio's penchant for atmosphere through architecture is put to stellar use here, particularly in the final pages of the issue. The big action sequence that takes up about half the book is less impressive, as the painterly quality of his images keep the figures and their actions static. However, Alessio's brilliant framing of the key Vader sequences are to be commended. It's easy to forget that Vader can't show emotion; Alessio uses perspective and framing to evoke the required emotions. It's a great lesson in cinematography, in that respect.
If you have become jaded in regards to Star Wars comics (or even Star Wars in general), I urge you to check this series out. From start to finish, it has been a high quality exploration of the nature of the Empire and those who would sacrifice their lives to protect it. Brilliant stuff.

National Coalition of Bar Associations of Color Urge Supreme Court to Support Diversity in Admission Programs
File Joint Brief with U.S. Supreme Court in Fisher v. University of Texas
Amicus Brief
WASHINGTON — The Coalition of Bar Associations of Color (CBAC)–the Hispanic National Bar Association (HNBA), the National Asian Pacific American Bar Association (NAPABA), the National Bar Association (NBA) and the National Native American Bar Association (NNABA) filed a joint amicus curiae brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in Fisher v. University of Texas at Austin. The Court will review the standard used by University of Texas at Austin in developing their race-conscious admissions policy following a 2013 decision by the Court which affirmed the principle that diversity in higher education is a compelling national interest. With oral arguments scheduled for Dec. 9, the four organizations recognized the significance of all four communities of color standing together in support of race-conscious admission policies in order to promote diversity in the legal profession. The brief discusses the unique perspectives of the communities each bar association represents, and highlights the importance of ensuring access to institutions of higher education, in order to preserve a diverse pipeline for our multicultural society and ultimately advance CBAC's shared commitment to diversity in the legal profession. The brief can be found here:
"The National Bar Association proudly stands with our CBAC partners to once again argue that now is not the time to turn back the clock on our efforts for diversity in the U.S.," NBA President Benjamin L. Crump said. "We have taken significant strides forward but we know that there is much work to be done in order to achieve a diverse and inclusive society. The Court, as before, should uphold the admirable and critical efforts institutions of higher education in their continuing mission to reflect society and its diversity. The court should not jeopardize the progress made and sought by law schools and the legal community to simply reflect the rich diversity that makes this nation great."
"The Hispanic National Bar Association is proud to join our partner bar associations of color to reaffirm the decades of Supreme Court precedent deeming collegiate diversity a compelling national interest," said HNBA President Robert T. Maldonado. "Despite efforts that have been made to improve equal access and opportunity in colleges and law schools of our nation, the simple fact is that we still do not have a level playing field, and there is much left for us to do. College admissions programs that take race into account, among a number of other factors, fit the parameters the Court has laid out in previous decisions, and work to create a diverse and inclusive student body that is beneficial to everyone. It is essential for college campuses to reflect the diversity of our nation to prepare our students for success in the real world."
"The National Asian Pacific American Bar Association supports efforts to overcome barriers to equal opportunity. We are proud to join our colleagues in the Coalition of Bar Associations of Color encouraging the Court to recognize the benefits students receive when immersed in diverse environments, and to uphold the University of Texas's attempt to create opportunities for diverse populations," said NAPABA President George C. Chen. "We recognize that Asian Pacific Americans, like other groups, have endured cases of discrimination and lack of opportunities which continue to impact us today. The low numbers of minority groups in the legal profession, government, and corporate leadership underscore the need to remove barriers to higher education and increase diversity. Courtrooms, law firms, and law schools must be filled with people of different backgrounds so that we can better understand and respect the diversity of the American public."
"The National Native American Bar Association joins our CBAC partners in expressing the importance of creating a pipeline for students of color in higher education," shared NNABA President Linda Benally. "The Supreme Court has previously affirmed the compelling interest of colleges in encouraging diversity in the student body, which should not be removed. Race-conscious admissions programs, like the one designed by the University of Texas, open doors for students of color by ensuring a richer and intellectually diverse classroom experience for all students."
CBAC was established in 1992 and is comprised of the Hispanic National Bar Association (HNBA), the National Asian Pacific American Bar Association (NAPABA), the National Bar Association (NBA), and the National Native American Bar Association (NNABA).
The Hispanic National Bar Association is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, national professional association that represents the interests of over 100,000 attorneys, judges, law professors, legal assistants, and law students of Hispanic descent in the United States, Puerto Rico, and U.S. Virgin Islands. The Hispanic National Bar Association has thirty eight affiliated bars in various states across the country. The Hispanic National Bar Association's continuing mission is to improve the study, practice, and administration of justice for all Americans by
ensuring the meaningful participation of Hispanics in the legal profession.
The National Asian Pacific American Bar Association (NAPABA) is the national association of Asian Pacific American attorneys, judges, law professors and law students. NAPABA represents the interests of approximately 50,000 attorneys and 75 local Asian Pacific American bar associations. Its members represent solo practitioners, large firm lawyers, corporate counsel, legal service and non-profit attorneys, and lawyers serving at all levels of government. NAPABA continues to be a leader in addressing civil rights issues confronting Asian Pacific American communities. Through its national network of committees and affiliates, NAPABA provides a strong voice for increased diversity of federal and state judiciaries, advocates for equal opportunity in the workplace, works to eliminate hate crimes and anti-immigrant sentiment, and promotes professional development of minorities in the legal profession.
Founded in 1925, the National Bar Association is the nation's oldest and largest national network of minority attorneys and judges. It represents approximately 44,000 lawyers, judges, law professors and law students and has over 80 affiliate chapters throughout the United States and around the world. The organization seeks to advance the science of jurisprudence, preserve the independence of the judiciary and to uphold the honor and integrity of the legal profession.
The National Native American Bar Association is the oldest and largest association of predominantly Native-American attorneys in the United States. The National Native American Bar Association was founded in 1973 when the first group of Native-American attorneys was entering the legal profession. The National Native American Bar Association's core mission since its inception has been to promote the development of Native-American attorneys. Native Americans comprise one of the smallest groups of attorneys of color in the nation, totaling approximately 2,700. The National Native American Bar Association is committed to increasing the number of Native-American students who attend college and continue their education to attend law school. The National Native American Bar Association and its chapters are involved in pipeline initiatives to promote the recruitment and retention of Native-American law students and law faculty. And an initiative of the National Native American Bar Association is to increase the appointment of Native Americans to the state and federal judiciaries; there are currently no Native-American Article III judges.

The Defamation League continues with its attempts to curb free speech on the Apartheid Regime in Palestine.
From the Electronic Intifada:
Students who walked out of a speech given by an Israeli soldier at Florida Atlantic University earlier this year are being forced by the administration to attend a chilling "re-education" program designed by an Israel lobby group.
This mandatory "training" program is based on curriculum designed by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), a lobby organization which has been instrumental in pressuring university administrations to curb Palestine solidarity activism across the US.
As The Electronic Intifada recently reported, the ADL has a lengthy history of spying on Palestine solidarity activists and academics, including Noam Chomsky.
Two of the three Florida Atlantic University (FAU) students being forced to attend this program have also been put on indefinite probation by the administration "for the remainder of our undergraduate careers," they say in a recent statement.
As we reported, in April 2012 students at FAU were subjected to administrative pressure and death threats after they engaged in a nonviolent direct action calling attention to the demolition of Palestinian homes by Israeli forces. In a creative effort to raise awareness of Israel's rampant home demolition practices, students posted 200 fake eviction notices on dorm room doors.

Getting your site listed in a major search engine isnt necessarily a difficult task, but maintaining a desired ranking can be. Here are a few tips to help you get in good with the search engines and boost your traffic in the process.
1.) Dont Forget Your Visitors: One of the most common SEO mistakes is putting too much emphasis on the search engine spiders and not enough on the visitors. While the search engine exists to help your audience find you, they cant do their job if your site is not appealing to human readers. To get the best results, identify your target audience, ensure that you craft engaging and web content and blog articles to keep them interested and informed. In addition, it is important to design the site with easy navigation in mind.
2.) Factor Keywords into Your Design: Keywords are so important to SEO that a properly infused word can have a tremendous impact on the ranking process. There could be several innovative concepts you plan on incorporating, but if they arent useful to your audience, you may need to rethink your strategy. When designing your site, focus on keywords and other appealing content relative to the type of audience you are looking to attract.
3.) Think Crawler-Friendly: All search engines identify web pages through small programs known as spiders or crawlers. These programs are trained to crawl through your site and categorize its pages based on relevance against the searches performed by internet users. The problem is that they cant interpret Javascript links and menus or Flash and other graphic heavy content. For this reason, you should keep your site as simple as possible with the HTML coding search engine crawlers have no trouble processing.
4.) Go for Rich Content: When it comes to effective SEO, content is definitely king. This is the very factor that enables the search engines to comprehend your website, index and rank it accordingly. Google, Yahoo, MSN and all the internet search engines love websites that are rich in content as they provide the essential text needed for indexing. While your content should be centered around keywords, it should also be relative and informative to your audience. In the end, this will help you achieve good rankings and a steady pace of visitors.
5.) Make Your Links Count: One of the most vital elements of search engine optimization is link exchange. This simply means that you have your website URL featured on other websites. The key is trading links with similar sites that are in good standards with the search engines. The better your website content, the better chance you have of acquiring a nice amount of quality links.
6.) Dont Worry About Your Rankings: As it relates to search engines, ranking is a very ambiguous term. In fact, there is no standard method to determine how fast or where you will rank. With so many players in the competitive world of online marketing, there just isnt enough white space for everyone to fit on the front page of Google.

Barnes kicked off with the advantage of the slope in the first half and winning an early penalty. The wind took the long range goal-kick wide. The visitors stayed in the opposition half and kicked the second penalty for a line-out which their opponents stole. Dorking recycled well to get their first penalty which was kicked to get them a line-out in the other half. From that they attacked well with more good recycling and got close to Barnes' line before the defence forced an error. The visitors' inside centre, Lewis, ran down to halfway where Dorking got the second scrum of the match. From which they kicked out on the full; Barnes' fullback Wehbe had his first run then Dorking forced a turnover and swung the ball wide twice to get a penalty on halfway. They kicked for a line-out and from that again tried wide ball. After a couple of recycles they were intercepted by the opposition hooker, Alteirac, who had a good run himself before sending wing Strong to the corner after 12 minutes. The difficult conversion was wide. The visitors secured the restart and after two chips-through were exchanged they were soon back attacking into the other half and on. The ball was passed through many hands before a penalty was won just outside the 22 in centre field. The goal kick again went wide. Running back the 22 drop-out, Barnes' three-quarters stretched the defence before being turned over back at the 22. Dorking got up to halfway for an opposition scrum after which Barnes were penalised for not releasing. The kick took the home pack to a line-out just outside their opponents' 22. Straight after this Barnes were penalised 28 metres out in centre field and Munford took the points at the end of the first quarter. Dorking secured the restart and kicked out on the full; this was redeemed by stealing the line-out. They kicked ahead and Barnes started a very good attack from fullback through several hands ending when forced into touch 14 metres from Dorking's line. From the line-out Munford tried an up-and-under. Barnes sent the ball wide and away went Strong before sending Wehbe to the corner on 25 minutes.
The visitors kicked the restart back over the opposition and Dorking cleared to touch still in their own half. The ball was quickly released to centre from the line-out and after one recycle Wehbe broke the line and got away an offload. Through more hands then Alteirac was put clear to the posts at 28 minutes. Dorking were penalised soon after the restart; Barnes kicked for a line-out then had that stolen. With Barnes on the back foot, they started an excellent break-out, running half the pitch, into the opposition 22 where they recycled quickly through several hands for Prop Knights to touch down near the posts just after the half-hour and Munford added. Dorking secured the restart and kept ball tight to get a penalty at their 10 metre line. They kicked for a line-out. At first they recycled well without advancing then got another line-out. From this second one, only 8 metres into Barnes' half, they varied their recycling to send centre Muller to the line, after some very good handling, not far from the posts at 35 minutes. Munford missed one that he shouldn't have. The visitors regained their restart and got ball wide then passed into touch. Dorking kicked out on the full for the third time. Barnes' pack set for a drive from 29 metres out and when this went down their backs recycled through a few phases; both Wehbe and Williams-Davies wrong-footed the defence before it was finally opened up for Strong to get his second. The wind drifted the conversion wide before the half-time whistle, making the score 15 - 22.
Barnes secured the second half restart and launched an up-and-under; Dorking dealt with this and varied a few recycles before chipping through the line. Barnes kicked to touch into the other half then stole their first line-out. Three recycles then an inside pass put outside centre Jones through a hole and he sprinted for the corner to touch down just after 2 minutes. An excellent conversion from Wehbe followed. The visitors secured the restart and scrumhalf Reeves raced through the line. A pass was judged forward and from the scrum Dorking kicked well into the other half. From their line-out Barnes worked their way into the other half before being turned over. A Barnes' scrum followed immediately and from that the visitors kicked into the 22 where the catch was marked. Dorking cleared to touch then got the next scrum put-in after Barnes had thrown the ball about. The home team now advanced strongly with good varied recycling to get a penalty 16 metres out in centre field. They chose a scrum and after that settled tried a chip to the line which Barnes just got to touch down for a 22 drop-out. Barnes were penalised again soon after that and Munford took the 3 points after 12 minutes.
Dorking kicked back the restart and after recycling once Barnes' Jones got clear away through the line and had to score but ref. said there had been crossing. Dorking recycled well without advancing; they got another scrum but pressure forced an error for Barnes to get a put-in. From that they kicked for territory to a line-out inside the opposition 22. From the line-out Munford tried an up-and-under from which the visitors got another scrum. They were prevented from advancing then were penalised for not releasing. Dorking ran this, got ball wide then chipped through and regained to get a line-out on the opposition 22. They kept ball tight after the line-out but did not get the next put-in. At the scrum Barnes were awarded a free-kick which they ran before kicking long; Dorking kicked it back and got the next scrum after an unforced error from the opposition. They got into the other half where Barnes got the next line-out then Dorking stole that and got another scrum. Barnes wheeled that and the next and got the ball at the second one. Kicks were exchanged; tiredness caused some chaos then an incident started a small fight and the ref. had to get cards out of his pocket. This with 12 minutes to go.
Barnes were awarded the penalty and kicked for a line-out into the other half. Again they had this stolen enabling Dorking to get out of their half but only to another opposition scrum. The visitors got a free kick at that; they ran this to get another put-in and from that kept ball in hand through several phases switching direction to send Reeves to the line where he was held up. The 5 metre scrum resulted in a Barnes' penalty and Wehbe took the points with 6 minutes to go. The restart resulted in a Barnes' line-out. The visitors kicked for territory; Dorking ran the ball, were turned over then got the next put-in in Barnes' half. They got the penalty at the scrum, kicked for a line-out then got another penalty inside the opposition 22. Again this was put into touch for a forward drive from 9 metres out. Another penalty followed with the loss of a man for a couple of minutes. Again this was kicked for a line-out, now 5 metres out. This time there was no forward drive and the ball was sent wider. Barnes forced a turnover then had a kick charged down. Dorking got the ball then an uncontested scrum 18 metres from their opponents' line; they released wide then were forced into touch at the whistle.
Dry, bright, blue sky, quite windy but across the pitch; short grass.

Leaky taps, unwrapped hot water tanks, relying heavily on extension cords and power strips due to lack of power points … sound familiar? While updating your insulation for energy efficiency why not extend that to updating your plumbing and wiring?
Here are some ways to reduce water consumption, fix leaky taps, and more energy efficient ways to heat your water.
Methven and Robertson have designed tapware with water efficiency in mind. The features you will find in most of their products are ceramic discs or ceramic cartridges which eliminate leaky taps by replacing conventional washers. Methven have temperature adjustable cartridges which are an excellent safety feature that protects your family from scalding. Temperature and flow adjustable cartridges allow a maximum water flow in single lever taps which helps to regulate water usage and reduce water wastage.
Robertson have a unique "click" cartridge technology, which allows you to adjust water flow at the tap to eliminate excessive water usage.
Installing a Satinjet shower fitted with either a 14 litre per minute or 9 litre per minute flow restrictor can save up to 50% of your hotwater energy costs and up to 55% on the cost of water used in your shower. Most fittings on showers are universal so it's easy to upgrade your shower to a Satinjet, without the necessity for a rebuild or renovation.
You are potentially flushing money down the toilet if you still have a single flush system. Installing a dual flush toilet will save you up to 8 litres per flush. If you aren't ready to change your toilet, other cost saving hints include putting a brick or a plastic zip lock bag full of water in your cistern. This will reduce the amount of water in the cistern, thus reducing the amount per flush.
Hot water heating has gone solar with systems by Rinnai which can be boosted by either gas or electricity. It is a great way to cut down the largest chunk of your energy bill – hot water heating. The sun heats the water, which is then stored in the tank with a temperature and timer controlled element. However if you find the water is too cold, the timer can be overridden.
Heat pump water heaters are becoming more popular as an energy-efficient and convenient way to heat water. Using 1/3 the energy of a conventional electric water heater, the hot water heat pumps extract heat energy from the air outside the house and transfer it to a refrigerant liquid, which is then pumped via closed circuit through the hot water cylinder, heating the water. (The refrigerant never comes in contact with the water supply.)
If replacing your hot water system isn't really an option, wrap your hot water cylinder with specialised insulation from Pink Batts. By wrapping your hot water cylinder you are preventing unnecessary energy and heat loss. This is an easy, inexpensive way to save on your energy bill.
If your home has unwrapped galvanised steel or copper plumbing, chances are you are losing heat through the pipes. Aquatherm's range of fusiotherm piping systems are made of polypropylene and have excellent heat and sound insulating qualities. The pipes are 100% corrosion resistant, do not leach anything into your water supply and are also recyclable!
Another way to save on water is with a Marley Rain Harvesting Kit. Rain harvesting collects water from the roof, puts it through a filtration system and into a holding tank. There are different kit options available, depending on your requirements. The options will enable you to utilise the water for everything like watering your garden right through to potable water which can be used for showering and even drinking. It is ultimately an option that can help you on your way to being self-sustainable.
Does your home have too few switches, power points or lights? While you are upgrading your wall insulation, it's a perfect time to upgrade your wiring too!
Many older homes don't have adequate wiring to service today's electrical load. We often have energy efficient appliances, but overwork our home's wiring system in our desire to reduce our own workloads. Energy efficient appliances should always be serviced by up-to-date wiring systems.
Talk to your electrician about whether your home requires rewiring in order to have more switches and power points installed. This will be cheaper while the walls are open as opposed to while the walls are still up.
While on the subject of energy efficient wiring, saving on our electricity bills is also very important. We all know using energy efficient lightbulbs is helping to reduce our power bills, but what other measures can we take to reduce our carbon footprint?
Timers are a great way to reduce your electricity bill. HPM have a wide range of options to suit your individual needs. These can be fitted to anything from your heater, electric blankets, heated towel rails and washing machines, to the smaller appliances such as coffee machines and lamps.
More great cost-cutting devices from HPM are light sensors. These are great for reducing power usage when an area of your home isn't occupied. They are also a great option if you live with someone notorious for leaving lights on! The detection range and time delay is adjustable to suit your needs.

Abstract:This paper presents an experimental study on transfer length, end-region cracking, and transverse end-region stresses in pretensioned concrete I-girders fabricated using 0.7 in. (17.8 mm) diameter strands on a 2 x 2 in. (51 x 51 mm) grid. The full-scale specimens consisted of two Tx46 and two Tx70 girders that were fabricated in a controlled laboratory environment using different strand patterns and concrete release strengths. The detailing for mild-steel reinforcement was done according to the current practice in Texas for girders with smaller-diameter strands. The measured 24-hour transfer lengths from the specimens exceeded estimates by both AASHTO LRFD and ACI 318-14 provisions. The observed crack widths in the specimens within 28 days after prestress transfer were generally limited to 0.007 in. (0.18 mm), indicating satisfactory performance for exposure to deicing chemicals according to ACI 224R guidelines. However, noticeably greater transverse forces were observed in the end regions of the specimens compared to the resistance required by AASHTO LRFD specifications.

Choice of material for the kitchen units
Today we went to the big kitchen materials store to try and choose all the boards and mechanisms. While we managed to select the cupboard and drawer mechanisms and the face detail for the doors there was a conflict of opinion on the colour and finish for the kitchen units themselves. There was also quite a wide selection of handles to choose from, but we'll leave that until we decide on the material.
We did manage to get it down to a shortlist of about three. The type of material we went looking for was laminated MDF and the stock in the store was mainly the EGGER brand which, on checking them out more thoroughly, seems to be the most reliable brand we could see there. Another brand we looked at was CLEAF but this turned out to be laminated particle board (chipboard) so they didn't make the shortlist.
With all manufactured materials like this there is a safety element to consider, which is the slow release of formaldehyde which is used in the bonding agent. I did find a safety data sheet for the EGGER material which says it meets Emission class E1 of EN120, which means that it just meets it or it greatly betters it - I suspect the former but I think we'll be safe with it being laminated too.
This was Lana's favourite but my first impression of this one was that it would look terrible - a really fake wood effect… and the colour just isn't something I could get used to, ever. We'd decided against getting a real wood kitchen so I don't see the point in trying to emulate the effect we've already decided against.
Having now seen their catalogue I'm somewhat relieved to find that this is not laminated MDF - it's laminated chipboard so that rules this one out.
I suppose this was my alternative choice if we HAD to go for a wood effect - against all logic (see my reasoning above). This is laminated MDF and ,while it looks a rather good and less expensive alternative to real wood I'm not sure it would look so great once we'd had the full kitchen built out of it - it would make good office furniture.
Lana quite liked this one. I thought it looked ok but, perhaps, a bit too cold (a grey beige instead of a warmer shade). Again this is laminated MDF - I think this one makes the shortlist.
This one caught my eye because of the warmer tone and it may go well with the floor and the dark brown quartz countertop we want, but it may actually be a little too dark.
In conclusion from what we actually saw in stock it seems to be a choice between the EGGER F425 (Beige Linen) and F427 (Beige Leather). If, as I suspect, the Beige Leather is a bit too dark then I am leaning towards the Beige Linen - particularly when you compare this to the full range of similar materials. They do have a Grey Linen there which is distinctly grey, and the Beige Linen does seem to have a hint of beige about it.
If we don't like it we can re-model the kitchen in a few years!
As far as the style of door we liked these two styles - the rounded top version particularly so:
Spaghetti Junction
We've finally had the consumer unit fitted in the wall behind the front door. It was a job made more difficult because it need to be recessed into the wall due to the front door frame being right up against the wall. We still needed to leave a bit sticking out otherwise there was a danger of knocking a hole right through to the apartment next door, but we can fit a door stop to prevent the door from hitting it. The door should still open about 90 degrees, even with the door stop in place.
The panel should have been screwed in, really, but the recess was a real honeycomb once we'd made it - with nothing to get a good fix to - so it's basically been plastered in place… but it seems pretty solidly fixed in there.
Now all we need to do is fit all the breakers and connect it to the mains when we the electrician is free to come back to the house (he's busy on another job for the time being) but we can feed all those cables through the top of the panel now, and get the ceiling and the wall finished and painted.
The ceiling will be coffered which will make it easier to hide the cables where they go from the ceiling down the wall - there'll be a 250mm lowered ceiling height border around the entrance lobby.
Our new doorway
We have our new doorway between the entrance lobby and the hallway. There's storage space behind the facing wall - plenty of room for shoes and stuff!
The door will hinge on the right hand side of this photo and swing towards the front door - more for emergency exit reasons but there's also no obstructions swinging it wide open that way.
For the uninitiated this would make it a left hand reverse swing door - doors are "handed" according to which side the hinges are on, and from the side of the door you would be on if you were entering the room.
It's about a metre wide at the moment but we need to add about 100mm to the left hand side to allow room for the door frame… it wouldn't look good if the door closed right against the wall. It'll still be wide enough to get a wheelchair through it.
More thoughts on colours
This is NOT our apartment (wish it was) but I posted it not simply because I like the colours, but also the glazed doors in the corridor as well as the big arch. I like the floor too - I think this colour of floor tile would have been my first choice had we not decided to emulate a wooden floor.
Maybe this is something for the future - it we'd decided to combine the two apartments and turned the living room in the big apartment into a dining room then I think this would have worked well… we could have put double doors like those at the entrance to the dining room and kept the dining and sleeping areas beyond quite separate from the rest of the apartment.
Bedroom Curtain Pelmet
The picture below shows the pelmet in the bedroom, with three variations.
The middle example is how it has been installed (just for show). Our first thought was to make it a little wider (top example) but we've decided to make it the full width of the room because, once it's painted, it'll look much less conspicuous… it will blend in much better with the ceiling and look less like… a pelmet (or "cornice" as they call it round these parts).
Here's how the ceiling in the living room is coming along… we've had a bit of a break in the works, for one reason or another, but we're moving along again now.

Better tasting water for drinking and cooking. Many people are surprised at the improved taste of their water, which in many cases is simply described as tasting "healthier." And when you cook with pure water, you ensure that your cooking water isn't adding anything unwanted or unhealthy to the mix.
When choosing a water purifier, you'll wish to consider purity, volume, and economy.
The most commonly used methods of water purification include Reverse Osmosis, carbon filtration, and UV water treatment.
Of these, UV treatment is commonly installed as a POE filter only - and focuses mainly on irradiating microorganisms rather than filtering the water. Reverse Osmosis offers the most thorough method of water purification, capable of filtering water consistently to 0 ppm (parts-per-million), regardless of the source. Reverse osmosis water purifiers also commonly employ carbon pre-filters, using carbon filtration to remove the larger particles before the water gets to the reverse osmosis membrane.
Water purification is a common method of water treatment, used to provide pure water suitable for drinking and other applications. But how does water purification compare with other methods of water treatment?
Water purifiers produce pure water by any method (including methods such as distillation); water filtration is the process during which water is separated from the things within it by means of a physical barrier. Many water filtration systems, such as reverse osmosis systems, are also water purification systems.
Water purification is the process of producing pure water - water filters are the physical barriers themselves that separate water from the contaminants within it. In any cases, water purification systems employ water filters. But some water purifiers employ processes such as distillation that don't involve water filters. And water filters are used in many applications - like recovering gold - aside from water purification.
Reverse Osmosis is actually a method of water purification, in which water is forced through a series of filtration processes - and ultimately a reverse osmosis membrane - that allows only the pure water to pass through.

Plunge to Methane Lake?
Imagine descending through hurricane-like conditions where wind speeds can reach 400 miles per hour and the ground temperatures drop as low as -300 degrees Fahrenheit. A choking haze envelopes everything. If all goes well, on January 14, a tiny capsule will take this plunge in hopes of sending back data and pictures near the surface of the Earth-like moon, Titan.

As part of the Cassini Imaging team studying the atmosphere on Saturn, Anthony Del Genio explained to Astrobiology Magazine his interests in the giant ringed world, Saturn and its strange moons.
Del Genio is a research scientist at NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, (GISS) New York, and an Adjunct Professor in the Columbia University Department of Earth and Environmental Science. His interests in the terrestrial atmosphere have led him to study storms on other planets such as Jupiter, Saturn and Titan to gain a more fundamental understanding of how their meteorology differs from that of Earth.
As a gas giant, Saturn and its extraordinary weather are not altogether surprising, particularly given the planet's enormous diameter, rapid rotation and supercold atmosphere. But data on another planet's changing climate present unique research and modelling opportunities. For instance, the orbiting Cassini probe has already made major discoveries, such as lightning bolts roughly one million times stronger than lightning on Earth.
A piggyback probe called Huygens was bolted to Cassini and has been riding along during the nearly seven-year journey to Saturn largely in a "sleep" mode. The probe descent will begin at 4:07 AM on January 14, EST (USA), and its Descent Imager experiment hopes to have a couple of images taken during the descent ready that evening. Huygens will be the first human-made object to explore on-site the unique environment of Titan, whose chemistry is assumed to be very similar to that of early Earth before life formed.
Del Genio contributed his thoughts to Astrobiology Magazine as he explained why Saturn and Titan might be of interest to an earth scientist wanting to observe atmospheric high-drama.
Astrobiology Magazine (AM): What would be considered a warm day on Titan, on a relative scale?
Anthony Del Genio (ADG): 95 Kelvin (about -290 degrees Fahrenheit) is a good beach day in the tropics on Titan. As far as we know it never gets much warmer than that at the surface.
AM: Given the thick smog, is there uncertainty about the Huygens descent timeline after atmospheric entry, since that will depend on wind, temperature and daily pressure?
ADG: Yes, the atmospheric density profile especially is an uncertainty that will affect the probe descent and even its stability. I don't think that's as much an issue about the haze as it is simply a matter of the atmospheric composition and temperature not being known precisely going in.

AM: Cross-winds are expected to cause parachute drift. What kind of wind speeds are possible?
ADG: In the early part of the Huygens descent it's expected that winds of 100-200 meters per second (220-440 miles per hour) could be encountered, gradually decreasing to tens of meters per second (22 miles per hour) once it reaches the troposphere.
Our early Cassini image analysis suggests winds of 30-40 meters per second (66-88 mph) at altitudes of 20-30 kilometers (16-24 miles).
AM: Will Doppler radar give atmospheric information during descent or is that primarily intended for navigation and tracking?
ADG: The Doppler Wind Experiment on Huygens uses the Doppler shift of the radio signal to infer wind speeds as a function of altitude. This has been done on several previous planetary probes, e.g., Pioneer Venus and Galileo.
We're very interested in those results because they will provide the most accurate information on the structure of Titan's "superrotation", albeit at only one place and time.
Combined with the mapping of winds at different latitudes and times we get from the Cassini images we hope to put together a reasonable picture of Titan's global circulation.
AM: When one sets out to model a supercold methane atmosphere that is thick and dense, what are the biggest unknowns for understanding its changes?
ADG: Right now I think the two big questions are: What is the abundance of gaseous methane in Titan's atmosphere, and what is the nature of Titan's surface? And these are related questions.
The favored story going in was that the presence of methane gas, which is destroyed by ultraviolet light to make the stratospheric haze, implies that there must be a source of methane at Titan's surface to replenish it.
That in turn gave rise to the idea that there might be liquid methane on Titan's surface in the form of lakes or seas.

But so far we haven't seen any indications of surface liquid (though there's much more observing to be done before we could rule that out). And so far methane clouds have been widely scattered, very much unlike water clouds on Earth.
That might mean that the relative humidity of methane is at the low end (about 30% or so) of pre-Cassini estimates, i.e., the atmosphere is too "dry" to make clouds most of the time. (Other explanations are possible, e.g., there's lots of methane but no aerosol particles suitable for seeding cloud formation.)
But taken together the scattered cloudiness and the failure to find liquid on the surface may be pointing us to a scenario in which the methane is mostly trapped beneath the surface and is only released sporadically to the atmosphere in geysers, cracks, vents.
The Huygens probe will give us a definitive estimate of tropospheric methane abundance in one part of the atmosphere, which should really help constrain our ideas.

AM: Do these models have to include the boundary condition of the surface itself, and does it matter globally whether that is liquid or solid in patches?
ADG: Yes, the models do have to include surface conditions, for two reasons: The surface is the source of methane, so we have to be able to estimate the evaporation (or outgassing) rate of methane into the atmosphere if we are going to get the right amount of cloudiness and precipitation.
Also, liquid surfaces respond more slowly to seasonal changes in sunlight than do land surfaces, so predicting seaonal changes in the circulation, explaining the presence of primarily polar clouds, etc., requires that we know the type of surface we're dealing with.
AM: From the flyby missions, what has surprised you most seeing Titan up close?
ADG: Well, we now have 3 flybys completed. What has surprised me most about the atmosphere is how infrequently clouds occur.
We knew that in ground-based images clouds were only seen in the polar regions until recently. But I fully expected that once we got close to Titan with our cameras we'd see lots of little clouds that were too small to be resolved from Earth. And every now and then we do see that kind of thing. But very rarely – it's like looking for a needle in a haystack. And we also started seeing long, zonally-oriented cloud streaks a few months ago unlike anything we'd seen previously from earth or on approach to Saturn.
Initially we thought those might be very high altitude clouds that had been stretched out by Titan's fast winds. But in the most recent flyby we found that in at least one case the cloud streaks are at a lower altitude (where the winds should be weaker) than the more common polar cloud. So right now it's a mystery as to why Titan makes clouds with that particular shape.
AM: What finding from the Huygens descent would most intrigue you as a modeller?
|True color and surface infrared images show bright and dark features and what may prove to be a continental area about the size of Australia Image Credit: NASA/JPL
ADG: If the probe lands smack in the middle of a methane lake that we've already taken images of!
Barring that, and that scenario seems less likely as time goes on, I'd be very intrigued (and perplexed!) if Huygens measures no strong wind speeds.
But that's the beauty of all this – initially we're disappointed when the data don't match our expectations, then we get excited because we have new information to play with. It's satisfying when the data prove you right, but it's much more interesting when the data send you back to the drawing board. That moment of discovery is what keeps us going.
AM: What future work will you be doing on understanding what is happening on Titan after the mission?
ADG: I think the science of modeling the 3-dimensional climate and circulation of Titan is only in its infancy. The general circulation models that we use at GISS to predict future global warming on Earth are great tools to adapt to other planetary atmospheres.
Titan has a lot in common with Earth – a similarly thick nitrogen atmosphere, a hydrologic cycle, a surface with possibly several different surface types, organic chemistry, a photochemical haze.

In Dorsetshire there was a Mr John Weeks, who after his ejectment became minister of a large congregation at Bristol. But he met with hardships on account of his Nonconformity, which he bore with great patience, meekness, and courage. As he was once preaching in Froom Woodlands, some informers came who had vowed to shoot him; but he directed his discourse to them with such majesty arid boldness that they rode away without giving him any disturbance. He was afterwards imprisoned six months for his Nonconformity, during which he preached out of the prison windows, and had many of the common people constantly to hear him. He was once carried to prison from his pulpit. While he was preaching the officers came in, and demanded by what authority he preached. He thereupon clapped his hand upon the Bible, and said, "By the authority of God and this book." They ordered him to come down. He desired he might conclude with prayer, which they yielded to, standing uncovered. He; prayed so heartily for the king and government, that one of his friends, after prayer, asked a clergyman, who came with the officers, what he had to say against such a man. "Truly nothing," he replied, "only such men eat the bread out of our mouths." There was one John Helliar, a lawyer, crafty and subtle, one of the most furious persecutors in that part of the kingdom. A rather amusing anecdote is related concerning him. On one occasion he went with the bishop to Mr Weeks' meeting-house at Bristol, to apprehend Mr Weeks, and he took down the names of several who were present at the meeting. One, however, hesitated to tell his name, and, though he was pressed again and again, he still refused. At length, being urged by several to inform them why he would not tell his name, he answered, "Because I am ashamed of it." Being further asked what reason he had to be ashamed of his name, he answered, with well-feigned reluctance and shamefacedness, " Because it is Helliar." It is needless to add that there was a general laugh at the mortified lawyer.
We are informed that Mr Weeks was as popular a preacher as most in England, and remarkably fervent in expostulating with sinners. He took pains with his sermons to the last. He was a minister out of the pulpit as well as in it; a most affectionate, sympathising friend, and one who became all things to all men. He discovered a most divine temper in his last illness, and was serene and joyful in the approach of death.

So you waited until the last minute to come up with a Halloween costume. It happens. However, that doesn't mean you have to do anything desperate -- like sacrifice your style!!! Oh no, don't do that. You've come to the right place.
We've gathered six super-stylish DIY Halloween costume ideas. They're simple, fast, and you can put most of them together with items in your very own closet and a few easy-to-find household or craft items.
Don't let Halloween turn you into a walking fashion faux pas. Someone might see you!
1. Be a Lovely Ladybird Owl
The most gorgeous owl costume ever (shown above)! I die. Chelsea of Seablanket.com made hers out of fabric scraps, but I'm thinking, in a bind, the rounded feather shapes could also be cut from a mix of paper bags and corrugated cardboard, maybe patterned with colored pens, and attached to a pillowcase or old dress with a glue or staple gun (found via A Beautiful Mess).
2. Go as an Elegant Mushroom
I don't think I've ever seen a prettier mushroom -- a genius costume idea from Chelsea at {frolic!}.
3. An Ode to Holly Golightly
Sure, we've seen the black dress, black sunglasses, high bun version of the Breakfast at Tiffany's costume. Well, here's a unique twist. Jenny at true nature provides a helpful list for this fun spin on the Holly Golightly costume.
4. Be a Chic Pumpkin
Think you'd never want to dress as a pumpkin on Halloween. Well, think creative and chic. A green beret "stem" and some tasteful flashes of orange can make an adorable pumpkin-"inspired" outfit.
Add a green beret or hat to this look below. Wa-lah, another sophisticated pumpkin costume.
5. Dress Like Autumn
Just wear your prettiest autumn colors. Here's some inspiration. Swoon!
6. Go Green
It's easy to dress up like a eco-friendly fashionista. Just wear something green and smashing! Congratulations, you've gone green! With style!
Do you try to stay fashionable on Halloween or is that just ridiculous?

Grasslands and wooded areas surrounded the old capital of Kyoto for centuries, making the perfect hunting grounds for feeding the wealthy citizens; birds of all sorts from the large colourful pheasants and statuesque pigeons down to small songbirds were trapped by the locals before being taken to market or grilled as yakitori. These days the term yakitori is normally used in relation to chicken, but the word literally means 'grilled bird', so it's no surprise that different regions have their specialities featuring other fowl. To the restaurants around the sacred town of Fushimi, yakitori is all about two birds, sparrows eaten whole including their bones and crunchy beaks, and the meatier and more westerner-friendly quails. After a visit to the most well-known Inari shrine complex in the country- the Fushimi Inari Taisha- it's almost impossible to leave the area without smelling the charcoal smoke and appetizing aroma of scorched meat wafting from the restaurants selling yakitori quail.
Eating yakitori like this is a primal meal, huddled around a dimly lit restaurant, breathing in the smoke and tearing into the grilled meat. A slightly sweet soy glaze enhanced with the essence of all the birds cooked before yours clings lightly to your lips as you devour the perfectly cooked bird, feeling more like the fox totem of Inari happily munching on a little bird in a shaded grove, than the person you were when you sat down at the bench table. To drink with the delicate flesh of the quails? Beer obviously, but what else to eat? Chicken wouldn't be appreciated next to the delicate birds, tsukune would feel almost too processed, only one other yakitori favourite would sit harmoniously with the quails and that's Uzura no tamago, bacon wrapped quail eggs. The ultimate pairing of parent and child found in many Japanese dishes such as oyakodon, the creamy eggs and salty charred pancetta add delicious little bursts of richness between mouthfuls of meat, a squeeze of sharp kabosu juice and a peppery sprinkle of ground sanshō balances all the elements to perfection.
Tare ingredients.
- Raw bones and skin from a whole chicken carcass, or from 5 thighs (adding a couple of wings or a whole chopped up thigh is a nice extra to give more flavour)
- 200ml soy sauce
- 100ml mirin
- 100ml sake
- ground sanshō to season
- Place the bones and skin in a frying pan and cook over a medium heat until they start to brown and release their fat. Scrape the brown deposits aside and reserve for later. Repeat this step a few times until you have about two tablespoons of sticky brown crispy chickeny bits (these are really the soul of your tare). Add a little water to the pan to loosen any more brown goodness.
- If you have a pressure cooker (ours is an Instant Pot, which doubles as a rice cooker- highly recommended) put the sake, soy, mirin, bones, chickeny bits and pan juices in and cook at high pressure for around 20 minutes. If you don't have a pressure cooker, just add the ingredients to your frying pan and cook it out for approximately an hour with a lid on, stirring regularly.
- Strain through a sieve discarding your bones, then reduce until slightly thickened- you're not after a thick syrupy glaze, just a gently clinging sauce that will run off your meat leaving a light coating.
- Taste your tare, it should be quite salty and savoury, but still complex with the sake flavours and the chicken identifiable too. Season with some sanshō and then allow to cool.
Yakitori ingredients.
- 6 quails
- 12 quail eggs
- 80g pancetta
- tare from above recipe
- 2 kabosu or limes to serve
- ground sanshō to serve
- If you're going to cook your yakitori the traditional way over charcoal, now is the time to light your barbeque or shichirin; if you're cooking it in the oven then preheat your grill.
- Place a small pan of water on the hob and bring it to a boil. Gently add the quail eggs to the water and boil them for three minutes, stirring the pan constantly to help the yolks centre in the eggs. Drain the eggs and plunge them into cold water for five minutes before peeling them. Wrap each egg in a strip of pancetta and then thread them onto teppogushi, three eggs per skewer.
- Using either a large knife or a pair of kitchen shears, cut each quail in two along the backbone and breastbone. Depending on where you bought your quails, they may have some or all of their internal organs present- discard all of these except for the hearts which make an extra yakitori treat that people will fight over (the remaining offal can be added to the raw bones in the tare recipe if you wish). If you are lucky enough to have the hearts, thread them onto two skewers for easy grilling, they can be divided between diners once cooked.
- Brush a slick of tare over each of the quail halves and grill them for about seven minutes, turning them regularly and basting with more sauce every couple of minutes. The hearts will need grilling and basting for around three minutes, and the eggs for about the same but without the tare, just until the pancetta has crisped and scorched slightly.
- Brush each of the quail halves lightly with more tare before serving, then squeeze a little kabosu juice over the meat as you eat it, seasoning with a sprinkle of sanshō if you want some spice.
Serves 4 people.

The only post-Kath album better than 16 is the Christmas album. XXV. The latter was more horn oriented and that is what I always wanted on a Chicago record. Pankow outdid himself on that album.
Charlie: I'd ALMOST agree with you. There are certainly more horns on the Christmas album and it does sound more like the kind of album Chicago SHOULD be putting out. But it is a Christmas album and generally I can only really enjoy Christmas music between Dec. 1st and 25th... or maybe as early as Black Friday if you're stretching it a bit. I give 16 the edge over the Christmas album as a result. Although I think more horns would have been welcome. For example, as much as I love the organ intro on What You're Missing, Chicago being a horn band-- that SHOULD HAVE been a horn intro not an organ intro.
Wow, did you guys forget about hot Streets? Great stuff on that. I agree the two subsequent albums are lacking in some ways but are the last of the "old days." I do like 16, and the fact that it does rock a bit more than the subsequent Foster albums, disappointed mainly in the absence of Lamm as a singer, writer and player (though he supposedly co-wrote part of "Get Away"). However, I can think of THREE albums that blow away anything from the 80's: Night and Day (talk about loads of brass!), Stone of Sisyphus, and their latest, XXXVI. I like the Xmas ones too, but these three definitely redeem them after the ultra-lame Twenty-1. Only XXX revisits that era with all of its ballads (reviewers tend to ignore or forget about the much more interesting second half of that album).

Welcome to CV Trees - Tree care and services for Westchester, Putnam, Dutchess, Fairfield County. New York and Connecticut tree removal, trimming, stump removal and landscaping.
For over 14 years, CV Trees has been working hard to supply Westchester County, Putnam County, Dutchess County, NY & Fairfield County, CT with the most professional, experienced and reliable tree services & excavation available.
Hello from Craig Vellucci! For the past 14 years as Owner and Operator of CV Trees, I have really discovered what CV Trees is all about, and that's customer satisfaction. Now, I know that sounds very cliché, but trust me, there is no better feeling than to have a customer walk up to you at the end of the day to shake your hand and say, "Thank you."
From the first day of work, way back in 1990, I knew that CV Trees had to have a very specific direction. As a team, we didn't want to fall into the trap so many services before us have…and that is limited service offerings. At CV Trees, we don't want to stop at giving you a free consultation, performing some tree work and then leave you wondering what more could've been done to beautify your property. We want to meet with you to look at the full picture, your entire property. We want to know what you have always dreamt of…what you always wished you could have. Is that big oak tree that leans over the house getting a little TOO big? Wondering what can be done to make you a lot less nervous? Do you constantly have to stop the lawn mower to pick up branches and you want to know what can be done to stop them from falling? Do you have some tangled woods in the back that you would like to walk through so you could enjoy the nature all around you? How about a gorgeous stone path that goes from your driveway to your front door? These are all things that we would more than happy to discuss with you during your free consultation.
At CV Trees, we pride ourselves on making your vision a reality. We make extraordinary effort to work hand in hand with every customer. Over the years, we stayed very versatile because we learned what homeowners and businesses want. We feel that we have made a real name for ourselves with the tree care we provide in Westchester County, Putnam County, Dutchess County, New York and Fairfield County, Connecticut by taking this approach.
So next time you walk outside and look around wondering what you could do to make your property look more inviting, don't just call an Arborist. Call a Consultant, Arborist, Designer and a planner all in one. That is CV Trees.
Customer satisfaction, a great relationship and an even better value are on the top of our long list of services CV Trees offers. We believe these three core services exemplify the approach we take to making sure everything is just right for each and every one of our customers.
The following is the list of services CV Trees offers. This list grows as time goes on. Please call us at 845-279-9225 if you don't see what you would like to have done. We can definately accomodate your needs.

The very heart of your writing shilst sounding agreeable at first, did not settle very well with me personally after some time. Someplace within the paragraphs you were able to make me a believer but just for a while. I nevertheless have a problem with your leaps in assumptions and one would do well to fill in those breaks. In the event you actually can accomplish that, I will definitely end up being fascinated.ReplyDelete
Its such as you learn my thoughts! You seem to grasp so much approximately this, such as you wrote the ebook in it or something. I think that you simply can do with some% to force the massage house a bit, however other than that this is magnificent blog. An excellent read. I will certainly be back.

The pate a choux (cream puff dough) came together really easily but once I put it in the oven it just didn't seem to want to cook all the way through - I took them out after 20 minutes (12 of them with a wooden spoon propping open the oven door) and they fell flat right away. I tried to save them by putting them back in the oven and they stayed in there probably another 20 minutes or so before I gave up! Some were perfect, some were still doughy - I don't know why! But they all tasted great. See how nice the ones on the upper left look? The other tray (upper right) was all flat and didn't rise right - maybe it had to do with the tin foil instead of parchment?
The original recipes called for chocolate pastry cream but I made vanilla using this recipe from epicurious. It was easy to make and tasty!
To make the chocolate topping you also had to make a chocolate sauce. Mine didn't come together right - it was too thin and didn't coat the eclairs like I would have liked. The whole process was messy and I just made a big batch thinking they'd be great for a party tomorrow and realized that they're best served right after they're filled and will probably be soggy and gross tomorrow. We'll just have to wait and see I guess!
Here's the mess I made and the finished product.
And no, celery salt and tomato aren't in the ingredient list. I'm cooking a bunch of stuff for a friends party tomorrow and I just hadn't gotten around to putting those things away yet. I think next time I make pate a choux it'll be savory. Anyway - back to the kitchen I still have cookies and cheesecake to make!
I'm behind on my blogs and I still have to tell you all about the awesome Cutchogue chicken BBQ. I'm hoping to get to it this week.
