Idc who dropped who both were in the wrong and for that ski dude not to give some one a ride out in a life threatening situation is just wrong. People just need to respect eachother and sometimes people need to be confronted like the towers but not in the way dude did by dropin on him. I mean if a wave can be paddled Into there is no reason to ski it. That's cheating the people that are fighting the currents and waves to get out to the break. I mean how would yall in jersey like it if I got a Dixie flag jetski and started towning Into your winter swells at manasquan . Then challenging everyone in the line up to a bench off, while not sharing my roids. Even better snookie would be the one towing me in.

This is textbook truth and wisdom. Those that don't stand up for their local break deserve to see it taken over. Respect given is respect gotten, and disrespect begets getting your card pulled. Dave Weasel is perfect in his arrogance. Karma is a living breathing thing, and he will reap it.
Oct 2, 2013, 05:48 PM #44
The body boarder was wrong in that situation. Ok, he was frustrated because he wanted to drop in on huge waves and then get worked and there were some guys who were driving in with a jet ski and getting insane and long rides and using the whole wave. I understand how that could be frustrating. Being frustrated does not make you right especially if it puts yourself and others at risk.
I am a little surprised by the overall response to this.
Regardless, it is wrong to take out anger or frustration felt towards an group on one person. Strange and sad to see so many people that do not believe in this.

the guys up in Canada have this figured out, they have a fairly small surf community and plenty of room to spread out so no need for this crap, one reason i like to travel north for waves rather than south

Animal lotto
This game is for children in pre-school. It's learning material made in Belgium. 'A game to develop their senses', according to the manual. It doesn't say on the box how old it is, but I'm guessing it's from the sixties.

Clothing rituals
I'm desperately trying to throw out junk I've been collecting over the years. Going through boxes I'm always amazed about the amount of junk I've been collecting over the years. Sometimes I come across nice collections though. Such as clothing labels. I'm always interested in how they are designed and executed. Sometimes they are so collectable!
Going west
I stumbled upon this gorgeous video. I saw it on a papercutting blog. It's a film for New Zealand Book Council Produced by Colenso BBDO Animated by Andersen M Studio.

Exit the building
I had almost forgotten about these two exit-signs. I found them wrapped in papers in a sock drawer. They are glass signs, so quite fragile. After being in a sockdrawer for years I decided they deserve a more special place. So they've moved to a more prominent place: they're actually on display now in the living room.

Of pills and powders part 2
In 1993 (!) when I was an intern at design agency 2d3d my worst nightmare happened. I was assigned to make about 12 illustrations for a magazine for pharmacists. I was never any good at illustration in Art College so that assignment was really freaking me out. In the end, I think it came out quite allright.

Tips for dummies
When my friend (and colleague) Yvette left the company she received a goodbye-gift from all the colleagues. Everyone received a small box to fill with wishes. I was responsable for the small boxes so I cut out 80 boxes and 80 covers. My fingers were hurting for a long time afterwards. I filled a few boxes myself, one of the boxes had a small book inside with tips for dummies; how to spend your lazy days 'written' by our dog Pepper.

Travelling by train
Every monday to thursday I take the train to Amsterdam. I love travelling by train, eventhough I can call standing the whole journey hardly romantic... I once bought this booklet, which is a timetable slash travel brochure. Eventhough the title says 'cheap journeys' the prices suggest otherwise. Back then travelling by train wasn't cheap at all!
I fact, two of my favourite things are combined in this book; information design (time tables) and the train!

Show me the money
When the euro came our local currency disappeared. Holland definitely had the best designed paper money, the 'gulden'.
I don't have the Dutch paper money anymore but I stumbled upon these from Italy and Poland when I was going through my vintage collection. The Polish currency is the Zloty and the Lire used to be the Italian currency.

Iron is an essential component of healthy red blood cells. A deficiency of this mineral can lead to anemia and symptoms of fatigue and weakness. The recommended dietary allowance for iron is 18 milligrams per day for women and 8 milligrams per day for men. Many foods and juices are high in iron, and a nutritionist can work with you to develop an adequate meal plan.
Animal Products
A 3-ounce serving of beef liver provides 5 milligrams of iron. Ground beef, steak, dark-meat chicken and canned clams each provide 2 to 3 milligrams of iron in a 3-ounce serving. A serving of six oysters contains 5 milligrams of iron. Iron from animal-derived foods is in the form of heme iron. Heme iron is easy for the body to absorb, according to the Linus Pauling Institute Micronutrient Information Center. Lean meats and seafood are lower in unhealthy saturated fat than fatty meats.
Beans, Peas, Lentils and Soy
A cup of cooked soybeans, white beans, lentils or baked beans provides 7 to 9 milligrams of iron. Many other kinds of legumes, such as cowpeas and kidney, garbanzo, refried, lima or navy beans, provide 3 to 5 milligrams of iron per cup. The iron from plant-based foods is in the non-heme form, which is less absorbable than heme iron. Beans, peas, lentils and soybeans, however, contain chemicals called phytates, which reduce your body's ability to absorb iron.
Fruits and Vegetables
A cup of cooked spinach provides 6 milligrams of iron. Kale, broccoli, prunes and raisins provide 1 milligram of iron per serving. Each cup of prune juice provides 3 milligrams of iron, and a cup of tomato, carrot, grapefruit, pineapple or mixed vegetable juice supplies 1 milligram. Fruits and vegetables contain the less absorbable form of iron called non-heme iron, but vitamin C, which is in many fruits and vegetables, helps your body absorb more non-heme iron.
Some fortified breakfast cereals, such as raisin bran, oatmeal, corn flakes or cream of wheat, provide 8 to 18 milligrams of iron per serving. Other enriched grain products, such as bread, rice or pasta, provide 1 milligram of iron per serving. Men are not usually at risk for iron deficiency, but women of childbearing age and children are commonly deficient. Your doctor may recommend supplements if blood tests show that you have iron-deficiency anemia.

That girl on the train
I stared out of the window, bored, as the train trundled on through the countryside. I had no idea where on the map we were, but I knew I was a long way away from my destination. The bogey I was sitting in was decently packed, but the seats opposite me were empty. From this I inferred that a family would be occupying those seats, and that did not improve my mood. All I wanted opposite me was a group of hot girls, which was all the entertainment I would want for this journey. As the train pulled into a tiny station and the next passengers boarded, I found my hopeful dream half fulfilled. Opposite me was a family all right, but the daughter was hot as flaming hell. She was accompanied by her parents and her brother, who were dressed very traditionally, as was she. I took a closer look at her as she bent over to slide her suitcase under her seat. She was about 19, the same age as me. I guessed her height at around 5'10. She was pretty slim, with a tiny waist and A cup boobs, but her ass was huge. I enjoyed watching her bend over and seeing the shape of her butt through her modest salwar kameez. She straightened up, adjusted her dupatta and flicked back her ponytail. Her hair was as black and shiny as her eyes, and her features had that innocent beauty so common amongst small town girls. She wore gold earrings, and the tiny silver ring in her nose made me a little hard inside my jeans. But for all the modest display she put up, she didn't fool me. I could tell from the way she moved her hips and from the size of dat ass that she'd seen some action. At this point her father caught me staring and I quickly looked out the window. She sat down directly opposite me and I felt the bulge in my pants grow bigger. I grew uncomfortable as I found I couldn't sit in peace; the father glared at me every time I looked in front of me, i.e. at his daughter. Resigned, I climbed on to the upper berth, happy to be away from those glaring eyes. I looked down at her as she typed something on her cellphone and my heart skipped a beat as I saw the outline of a black bra strap where her dupatta had shifted. The bulge in my pants turned into a full blown erection. I squirmed and tried to distract myself by listening to some music. But as my phone scanned for my Bluetooth headset, it detected another device, a mobile phone with the name $!MM¡. After decoding this jumble of symbols, I realized this phone probably belonged to a girl named Simmi. I looked down at my hot co-passenger, who seemed like the only female in the compartment who knew what Bluetooth was. A wild idea came into my head. I rushed to the toilet and clicked a picture of my 7 inch fully erect penis. Then I changed my Bluetooth name to B0ñ€r and sent the picture to the new device as I walked back to my seat. I kept a close watch on my phone as well as on the girl, who was still clicking away on her cell. I felt my pulse quicken as the picture was accepted and sent, but the girl's expression didn't change. But a few seconds later, I saw her smile at her phone, and (though I might have imagined it) quickly touch the tip of her tongue to her upper lip. Then she went on clicking. I had no idea what had happened. I sighed and pulled my blanket over my head. It was getting dark and my arousal was making it difficult to think normally. I drifted to sleep while imagining exposing that shoulder and ripping off her black bra.
When I woke next, the compartment was dark, everyone was asleep, my mouth felt musty and I needed to pee. I'd dreamt of shooting my cum all over that innocent face, which was now fixed in a peaceful expression as she slept on the lower berth. I hurried to the toilet while chewing some Mentos to get rid of the taste in my mouth. I went into the western style, as it tended to be cleaner, and aimed my boner at the toilet, emptying my bladder with a moan of satisfaction. I hadn't bothered to lock the door in my hurry, and it opened and shut with the movement of the train. As I shook out the last few drops of pee, the door opened again and I heard a little gasp. I swerved to see the girl from my bogey with her hand to her mouth and her eyes on the hand gripping my erect dick. I was paralyzed with shock. She lowered her eyes, and then, to my surprise, pulled out her phone and held it in front of her so I could see the home screen. The picture of my dick was her wallpaper. I was currently holding it in almost the same way as I had in the picture. This was Simmi all right.
As I went on staring, she entered the toilet and locked the door behind her. We were face to face in the cramped vestibule as she looked at me with those once-innocent eyes that now had a mischievous glint in them. She reached out and began stroking my dick, which was now throbbing with excitement. I moaned softly and placed both my hands on her butt, squeezing lightly. She closed her eyes and trembled a bit, but made no objection. She squeezed my penis hard and I felt a trickle of pre cum escape from my glans. Even as I watched, she got on her knees, tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, and licked the tip of my dick clean. Then she took it in her mouth and began sucking in earnest. She couldn't take all of it and I could see she wasn't very experienced with blowjobs, but man, she could suck! Her tongue felt great on my penis and I helped her a little by fucking her mouth gently with my hands on her head. She seemed to enjoy this as she made little muffled squealing noises as she tried to take off her top. I helped her do this and she knelt there in her sexy black bra and squeezed some more pre cum out of my dick. Then she rubbed the tip on her nose, getting it all sticky, and looked up at me with appealing eyes.
I couldn't take it any longer. I pushed her against the wall and kissed her deeply as I fumbled with the strap of her bra. Her eager tongue wrestled with mine as we made out. She tasted like lime pickle and I thoroughly enjoyed the tangy flavor of her mouth as I kissed it. I finally managed to get her bra off and broke away to take a good look at her tits. They were small and perky, with big nipples stiffened in excitement and wide brown areolas. I took one breast in my mouth and tweaked the nipple of the other, my dick nudging her knee. Her chest heaved as I pinched and sucked and licked. She let out a tiny yelp as I bit one nipple, then closed her eyes and threw her head back, fondling my hair as she began to enjoy the feeling of her nipples being gnawed.
I could wait no longer. The fabric at her knee was sticky and wet with my dick juices and I could see the area at her crotch become moist too. In one motion, I pulled down her tights and panties, fully exposing her naked body. A dark clump of hair covered her pussy and her juices were running down her thighs. I closed the toilet lid and sat on it, beckoning her to come and get on. She inched forward slowly, running her hands over her naked body. Evidently she enjoyed being naked. She positioned herself and eased her pussy onto my dick. She lowered herself slowly until my dick was all the way in and her face in front of mine. She panted softly as my rock hard penis easily slid into her sopping wet pussy and I moaned softly as the warmth of it encircled my dick. I put my hands on her waist and began to kiss her mouth again. She put her arms around my neck and kissed back in earnest as she rocked her hips in circles. She was pretty tight for such a slut and I fought back the urge to fuck her harder. Instead I broke the kiss and played with her tits that were bouncing in front of me. She gripped my shoulders as she moved up and down my shaft and let out soft gasps. I grunted every time my dick hit home. So far we were doing a great job of keeping the noise down. But suddenly the train went over a rough patch and the violent vibrations that ran through it caused her to bounce even faster. She dug her nails into my shoulders and I saw her eyes roll back into her head as she approached orgasm. I panted harder and drove into her with the rhythm of the train. She arched her back and screamed with ecstasy as the orgasm coursed through her body. Luckily for us, her scream was muffled by the rumble of the train.
When the rumbling stopped, she slowly got off my still erect penis and looked at it in admiration. I wasn't done yet, and as I would soon find out, neither was she. She turned to face the wall and put both her hands on it, thrusting her ass out at me. From this view I could see her dripping pussy perfectly, and I quickly stood up to take her from the back. But as I squeezed her ass cheeks, I observed something else. Her asshole was huge! I'd only seen holes that big on porn stars that performed anal regularly. Her ass must have been fucked a lot to stretch it out that much. Without thinking about it, I thrust my dick deep into her ass. It went in easily thanks to the size of her asshole and the fact that my penis was slick with pussy juices. She gasped in surprise and pressed her face to the wall but made no protest. I pumped her ass again. It felt even warmer and tighter than her pussy and I couldn't hold back as I fucked it harder while grabbing handfuls of her ass. She reached down to play with her clit as I did this, rubbing her cheek against the wall. She stroked it faster and faster as I fucked her slutty asshole. I shifted my hands to her waist so I could pump her even harder. At this point she slapped her clit as she reached her climax and stuck her tongue out, panting like a little bitch. She leaned against the wall, exhausted. But I still wasn't done. I moved my hands up to her boobs and resumed fucking her in the ass. Now I heard small cries of pain mingled with the moans of pleasure. I kept on going and crushed her tiny tits in my hands. The cries of pain grew louder and spurred me on. I went faster and faster, pounding that poor asshole for all it was worth and tugging her nipples hard. At this point she stopped crying out and made a gurgling sound as she licked the wall senselessly. She was totally in my control. I went faster than I thought possible and grabbed her ponytail, yanking her head back. I suddenly moaned out loud as I emptied my load into her asshole. She groaned with her tongue hanging out of her mouth as saliva dripped from it.
I pulled out my cum covered dick and collapsed on the toilet seat. I realized we were both sweating. Simmi looked back at me and smiled. Without changing position, she spread her ass cheeks and let me watch the cum trickle out of her asshole into her waiting pussy. Then she promptly knelt on the floor and cleaned my dick with her tongue, looking straight into my eyes as she did. As she licked a droplet of cum off her chin and smiled, I realized how much she'd enjoyed being used as a whore.
The moments after that were a blur, as we tried to get back to our berths after cleaning and dressing ourselves, without being caught. I was so tired I collapsed the moment I hit the berth.
When I woke up the train had stopped at a station and the family was gone. Despite my tired limbs, I wondered if it hadn't all been a dream. But when I looked out the window I saw them standing there on the platform. As I caught Simmi's eye she grinned at me and slipped her dupatta off her left shoulder. I could clearly see an erect nipple against the fabric of her top. The train pulled out of the station and I climbed onto my seat, dejected that she was gone. And there, in the water bottle holder, I found stuffed a small black bra, and a crumpled piece of paper with her phone number on it.

I talk to frantic people,
Try to get the facts you need,
So you will be ever prepared,
to face the horrible deed.
I send you out to fight the drunk,
I pray he has no gun,
Dear God, Please help me hear him well,
and see us through this run.
And when my day is over,

Dear God, Please keep my officers safe,
Supply just what they need.
Help me always manage,

Firefox has always been a popular alternate browser, although its popularity has been declining a bit, since the launch of Chrome. It is the common experience of many a Firefox users, that the browser, over a period of time slows down considerably. It may take a lot of time to load during startup and the overall speed could also be effected.
Firefox has made considerable improvements in the browsers memory consumption and utilization – but it still makes people wanting more. In fact, some even prefered to install the Memory Restart or Memory Fox add ons from Mozilla – and even considered disabling the slowest Firefox addons.
Speed Up Firefox
I do not normally use Firefox, preferring instead the Internet Explorer, but I do know of five freeware that may help you optimize Firefox and its memory and make it load and run faster.
Firemin is a tool that uses a safe API function called EmptyWorkingSet. It basically forces the Firefox process to use less memory and also tells Firefox to give back some of the system memory it's hanging on to.
To use Firemin, you will need to download the Firemin.exe file, decompress it and run Firemin.exe from the extracted folder. Set the options the way you want.
To make Firefox use less memory, move the slider to the left. The more you slide to the left, the more processing power will be required. It might be a good idea to keep the values at it defaults and see how it goes, initially.
Firemin also compresses the Firefox SQLite databases. To do so, click on the Optimize Firefox option.
Firefox Booster
Firefox Booster is a small and simple application that will accelerate your Mozilla Firefox browser. You simply select one of three types of connections you use (Fast, Medium, Slow), which is symbolized by the image the car. Firefox Booster will then change the current configuration of the browser Mozilla Firefox to suit your internet connection type.
Firefox uses SQLITE databases to store lots of its settings. By the time the databases grow and Firefox starts working slowly. SpeedyFox compacts those databases without loosing any data. Databases are optimized to operate faster and are decreased in size by SpeedyFox. This tool supports Skype, Chrome, Mozilla Thunderbird profiles too!
Firefox Preloader
Firefox Preloader is a utility that is designed to load parts of Mozilla Firefox into memory before it is used, to improve the its startup time.
Let us know which one of these you have found to be the most useful.
You might want to go here if your Mozilla Firefox Freezing or Crashing on Windows computer. Go here if your Firefox keeps slowing down.

NEW YORK — AT&T Inc. said Monday it agreed to sell a majority stake in its Yellow Pages business to the private-equity firm Cerberus Capital for $950 million.
The sale is part of AT&T's strategy to jettison shrinking parts of its business so it can focus on segments that are growing, particularly wireless. Revenue from the Yellow Pages unit has shrunk 30 percent in two years as consumers shun phone books in favor of the Web.
The sale affects 8,400 employees, and is expected to close mid-year.
AT&T, the country's largest phone company, is following in the footsteps of Verizon Communications Inc., the second-largest, in cutting its exposure in the phone book business.

Fed Tops Iraq as One Thing After Another Fails to Rattle Markets
Simon KennedyHistory, in the words of playwright Alan Bennett, is "just one bloody thing after another."
Central bankers likely feel the same.
Each time the world economy shows signs of strengthening, it runs smack into geopolitical upheaval. The latest is the fighting in Iraq. Then there's the violence in Ukraine and the Syrian civil war; also, military coups in Egypt and Thailand, clashes in Libya and street disturbances in Turkey.
A report this week from the Institute for Economics and Peace attempted to calculate the cost to the global economy of containing and dealing with violence: $9.8 trillion last year or 11.3 percent of gross domestic product. It cited upward revisions of China's military expenditure and the intensifying of internal conflicts for the $179 billion increase from 2012.
"The danger is that we fall into a negative cycle: low economic growth leads to higher levels of violence, the containment of which produces lower economic growth," said Steve Killelea, founder and executive chairman of the institute.
So far investors are nonplussed, yet political threats likely may present a greater risk to their portfolios when Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen and her international colleagues start raising interest rates, Tina Fordham, Citigroup Inc.'s London-based chief global political analyst, said in an interview.
Vox Populi
For now, she says, monetary stimulus helps explain the disconnect between increased conflict and minimal market impact -- she calls it the "palliative effect of cheap money."
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index is up 6 percent this year and the Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index, known as the VIX, is around seven-year lows.
Another source of tension in Fordham's eyes is what she calls Vox Populi, her description for how public opinion is becoming louder and more volatile. Citigroup estimates the number of mass protests, elections, government collapses and the like jumped 54 percent in the last three years versus the previous decade.
Richer nations haven't been spared with the rise of protest candidates in ballots from the U.K. and France to Virginia reflecting a voter backlash against disappointing economic growth and growing income inequality. The U.S. federal government shut for a time last year and Republican lawmakers have made continued debt service a political bargaining chip.
"Geopolitical risks are intensifying and unlikely to be resolved any time soon," says Fordham. The markets are "probably not wrong to ignore the risks for now given the Fed's importance, but maybe that changes when the Fed change stance."

Chimezie Metu has a decision to make
The USC sophomore improved his NBA draft stock by averaging 19 points in three NCAA tournament games, including 28 in the Trojans' loss to Baylor.
The USC sophomore improved his NBA draft stock by averaging 19 points in three NCAA tournament games, including 28 in the Trojans' loss to Baylor.
The defending national champ has been eliminated. The preseason No. 1 team? Gone. What has been the biggest upset? Which team is now likely to win it all? Vote now!
Johnathan Motley had 19 points and 10 rebounds, and No. 3 seed Baylor defeated No. 11 seed Southern California 82-78 on Sunday in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
Baylor is in the Sweet 16 for the fourth time in eight years under Scott Drew. Quite a run.
Baylor beats USC 82-78, but the ViewFromVegas is the Trojans cover as 5.5-point 'dogs on a wild tip-in at buzzer.
Manu Lecomte was absolutely huge for Baylor down the stretch. Lecomte scored all 12 of his points in the game's final 4:40, including a four-point play that ignited the Bears from behind.
Andy Enfield will have a loaded roster next season thanks to USC's strong recruiting and the addition of Duke transfer Derryck Thornton Jr.
Baylor joins Kansas and West Virginia as third Big 12 team to make the Sweet 16. USC nearly pulled off a third consecutive tournament comeback, but couldn't hit the big shot in the final minute.
On a bang-bang charge/block call Johnathan Motley fouls out going to the basket. He's scored a Baylor-high 19 points. A potentially massive swing.
Baylor guard Manu Lecomte has taken over for the Bears. A four-point play, a steal, two free throws and a driving layup has given Baylor the lead -- and, finally, the momentum. Lecomte had not scored before that sequence.
Baylor's top scorer Johnathan Motley just picked up his fourth foul. Scott Drew sits him on the bench, but for how long against the red-hot Trojans?
USC seems to have an unending tank of energy. Despite this being their third game since Wednesday, the Trojans are shooting better than 50 percent from the field and have done a reasonably job taking care of the ball against Baylor's rangy zone.
Bennie Boatwright is hitting some tough shots and USC is keeping pace with Baylor. Boatwright has been a huge catalyst in the Trojans' two tournament comebacks.
USC alum and OKC Thunder forward Taj Gibson catching up with Trojans AD Lynn Swann here in Tulsa.
Friday, Baylor advanced behind a monster effort from reserves Terry Maston and Al Freeman. So far against USC, King McClure has been the difference with four first-half 3s.
Dance off...
In the battle of zone defenses, Baylor's length has been the difference so far against USC. The Bears are cleaning up the glass, with almost half their points coming from second-chance baskets. The Trojans will have to box out much better out of their zone to have a chance of pulling an upset.
USC arguably embodies one of the last Cinderellas left in the NCAA tournament.
USC pulled off its second dramatic come-from-behind victory of the NCAA tournament in an upset over SMU. The odds are stacked against the Trojans once again as they face 3rd-seeded Baylor, who is a huge favorite per ESPN's BPI.
Baylor guard Jake Lindsey, on Sunday opponent USC, which already has two double-digit comebacks in this tournament: "When you have a few wins like that, it definitely sparks a belief in your team. It shows they have some resilience and some fight."
Out of 18,797,085, only 164 brackets remain perfect in the Tourney Challenge through the first round of the 2017 NCAA tournament, and 4,524 missed only one game.
SMU coach Tim Jankovich, on not calling a timeout before his team missed a potential game-winning shot in the loss to USC: "You never know what you're going to get. They could double. They can switch their zone. They can go to man. They can double your ball screens. … But when you let flow happen and … your team knows what you're calling. … I think it's 10-to-1 you have a better chance."
Through six games Friday of the 2017 NCAA tournament, here's a look at what the results mean for the ESPN Tournament Challenge:Following USC's win over SMU, 4,648 perfect brackets remained out of 18,797,085.

Jeremy Piven was spotted outside the recently relocated Fior d'Italia. According to a tablehopper reader, it looked like he was just wrapping up lunch, and had the black chauffeured SUV ready and waiting.
So, if you were Gary Danko and were gonna throw a party for your big 5-0, this is what it would look like: a buyout of supperclub, with 170 guests kicking it in their socks (many sporting bhindis) and digging the scene (and the five-course meal). What guests, you inquire? How about Renee and Carl Behnke of Sur la Table, Connie and Andy Debbane from Zarzuela, the Ritz Carlton's Jean-Pierre Dubray, Cameron and Gerald Hirigoyen of Piperade and Bocadillos, NOPA's Laurence Jossel and Allyson Woodman, Chantal and Hubert Keller of Fleur de Lys, Tor and Susan Kenward of Tor Kenward Vineyards, Ed and Mary Etta Moose of Moose's, La Folie's Roland and Jamie Passot, Carol and John Sebastiani of Sebastiani Vineyards, Delfina's Craig and Anne Stoll, Augustin Huneeus of Quintessa winery, and Joanne Weir. You can check out pics here (be forewarned, there are 757 of 'em).
Okay, it really was the week of power gourmands: Alice Waters was spotted at Delica rf-1 over the weekend (yes, she was wearing a hat), and Ruth Reichl had dinner at Kokkari (no, she was not wearing a wig, those days are over.)
Shelley Long aka the apple of Sam Malone's eye was spotted at Allegro Romano. Uh, Cheers!
And my favorite sighting for some time: Marc Jacobs was in Lulu last week.

The Cosmetic Thread user interface is updated. You can create a simple thread or a standard engineering thread. For a simple thread, the cosmetic thread is created as a surface offset from the selected surface, as it is in Creo Elements/Pro 5.0. For a standard thread, an attempt is made to match a thread size to the selected thread surface based on the currently in-use hole files. If a match is found, the match becomes default or you can choose to apply a standard thread. You cannot modify the diameter of a standard cosmetic thread and the diameter is not automatically updated if the size of the cosmetic thread surface reference changes.

WELLINGTON (Reuters) - The attack by gunmen on the Sri Lankan cricket team bus in Pakistan on Tuesday was a "frightening" development in sport, New Zealand Cricket chief executive Justin Vaughan said.
New Zealand's cricketers are no strangers to trouble in Pakistan, cutting short their 2002 tour after a suicide bomber blew up a bus outside the team's hotel in Karachi, killing at least 12 people.
Other touring international teams have also been caught up in trouble on the sub-continent but Vaughan said Tuesday's attacks were a new proposition altogether.
"It's very frightening that for the first time a cricket team are what appears to be the specific target of terrorist action," he told the New Zealand Press Association.
"That's never happened before. Previously all the incidents have been about being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
"This is a very different proposition and I think just a very frightening one for world cricket."
News of the attack came as New Zealand and India were playing in a one-day international at Napier. Both teams wore black armbands at the change of innings as a mark of respect to the victims.
India were supposed to be touring Pakistan but pulled out after the government refused permission due to strained political ties following the militant attacks in Mumbai in November.
They extended their tour of New Zealand while Sri Lanka agreed to take their place in Pakistan.
New Zealand chief executive says attack "frightening"

a cookie with good creds (& great crumbs)
A friend recently challenged me to include recipes for sweets that utilized "sugars" other than the typical cane. While this little cookie has some white cane sugar, half the amount of sweetening has been replaced by coconut sugar – derived from the nectar of the coconut flower. Wheat flour (for those gluten-sensitive) has been replaced by coconut flour (high in both fiber and protein) and brown rice flour. Half the amount of the usual butter fat has been replaced with unrefined coconut oil (solid at room temperature – a heart-healthy saturated fat that improves the all-important ratio of HDL to LDL levels in the blood stream). The rest of the fat is supplied by a light, fruity (also heart-healthy) olive oil.
no wheat flour – instead coconut flour & brown rice flour
no butter – instead coconut oil & fruity olive oil
sugar – half replaced with coconut sugar
Now that we've covered some of the health factors, can we talk about taste? We all know this – coconut and chocolate are a classic duo…think Mounds bar. This cookie is so tender, it's moist, delicately not cloyingly sweet, has a decidedly coconut-y aroma, and is strewn with melty bits of deep dark chocolate (full of antioxidants by the way – and lucky for us, a little bit of dark chocolate is recommended every day.) (Add heart-healthy walnuts too, if desired. I do!) Conclusion: This is a mighty good little cookie.
Still, let's be real – cookies aren't health food. But eating a sweet little something (in moderation) is one of life's sweet little pleasures. And, considering that good ones have the power to lift even the drollest of mouths, I could be wrong, but that sounds pretty healthy to me.
(Please allow me one more honest sentiment – they may look like a normal chocolate chip cookie, but believe me, they aren't. And after tasting these, my old recipe will go curb-side, come Wednesday.)
A Wheat-less (but still not weightless) Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookie
(this will make approximately half a normal-sized batch of cookies)
- ¾ cup + 3 Tablespoons brown rice flour
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup (4 Tablespoons) coconut oil melted (unrefined has more of a coconut flavor)
- ¼ cup (4 Tablespoons) light, fruity olive oil (or other neutral-tasting seed or nut oil, such as canola)
- ½ cup coconut sugar (this can be used, 1 for 1, to replace brown sugar, especially in baking)
- ½ cup white sugar
- 2 eggs (whisked to double volume)
- 1½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup dark semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup walnuts (optional – but another heart-healthy food) (If you don't like, or can't eat, nuts, you might try replacing with shredded coconut.)
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper if desired.
In a medium bowl, stir together rice flour, coconut flour, baking soda and salt.
In a small bowl, whisk eggs until about doubled in volume. Add vanilla.
In a medium bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer, beat together the coconut oil and olive oil. Add sugars and beat well. (This will not be the creamy mixture that you're used to when combining sugars and butter. Don't be concerned.) Add to this the whisked eggs and vanilla. Beat. Stir in the dry ingredients until well-blended. Add chocolate chips, and nuts if using.
Drop by spoonfuls onto a cookie sheet and bake for 8 or 9 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from the oven, but allow to sit on the cookie sheet for one minute before removing to a rack to cool.
As far as I can determine, these cookies are gluten-free. There's no gluten in the coconut flour or coconut sugar, and none in the brown rice flour. If there's any, I suppose it could possibly be present in small amounts in the chocolate chips. You who are gluten-intolerant would probably know best.

The portly rodent is not a huge chocolate fan, but when the dazzling Spree needs a second opinion well she knosw which hole to look in! Got to say these are really good. Very moist and who doesnt like coconut! Forget the fact that these are GF, they're just plain tasty.

Thanks so much for this recipe! I have been wanting to use coconut flour and sugar for awhile, but each time I read a recipe, I wonder to myself, will it TASTE good? These sound delectable. And you've just blown a hole in all my usual excuses for not baking (ie: white flour, white sugar, gmo's, etc). After I bake these, I will follow-up and letcha know!
March 12, 2012 -
I just ordered the less widely available ingredients online and am looking forward so much to trying these cookies. For anyone else who might like to use the easy way to get the "exotic" ingredients, I ordered from Swansonvitamins.com and got 1 lb of Bob's Red Mill Organic Coconut Flour for
$6.52, 1 lb of Swanson Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, [solid] for $6.89 and 1.5 lbs of Bob's Red Mill Whole Grain Brown Rice Flour for $2.75. If you use the coupon code swan199 you can get the entire order shipped for $1.99, bringing the grand total to $18.15 delivered to your mail box with plenty of flour and oil left over for other culinary adventures. Thank you Antoinette for making what I'm pretty sure was more than one batch to perfect these cookies.March 13, 2012 -

I made these heavenly things last night, & now I've arrived! There won't be anymore lifelong search for the perfect choc chip recipe. This one's it, hands down. 4 of us concurred. Thank you, Spree-Magic!
