A Winter Gathering
Tartlets of feta, cherry tomatoes with oregano
Tartlets of smoked salmon and crème fraiche with dill
Risotto slices topped with pesto and goats curd
Miniature sausage rolls
Lemon filled sponge cake with a citrus and mascarpone frosting
To spare ourselves a night in the kitchen we made a few small purchases; pork and chive dumplings, dolmades, dips, nuts. At 4am when the last platter had been cleared the sight of those freshly steamed pork and chive dumplings gave me intense delight.
Tartlets of feta, cherry tomatoes with oregano waiting to be whipped into the oven
Tartlets of smoked salmon and crème fraiche with dill
I was expecting the sort of disasters that usually eventuate when catering for large groups but was blessed to only have a few minor hiccups; finding myself covered in flour ten minutes before people started arriving, a baking paper lined tray that caught ablaze and a soy sauce spillage that necessitated a quick costume change. All small things when the only work I had that evening was to put a few trays in the oven and top up my glass. Certainly nothing to leave me wishing I'd called in the caterers.
All of these recipes require minimal preparation and rely on the quality of the ingredients but if you insist on making your own pastry (which I rarely do) then I recommend the below recipe for puff pastry. It can be quite temperamental so I'd suggest trialling the recipe before the big event or simply do as I do and buy ready made sheets!
Shortcut Puff Pastry
3 tbps butter melted
3/4 cup (150g) cubed butter (keep it in the freezer until needed)
2 cups plain flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 iced cup water
Combine the melted butter, flour, salt and water until it roughly comes together to form a dough. Dot over the cubed butter but do not combine through at this stage. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Very lightly flour your counter and roll out the dough. If the dough becomes sticky chill again for 20 minutes. Fold over each side into the middle then fold in half so you have three layers. Chill. Place dough at right angles to previous position and roll out again only rolling in a left and right direction. Repeat the folding process and chill. Then complete one more rolling and folding process. This process should take about an hour including chilling times. Wrap and chill until required for use. When you're ready to use roll out to 4mm thickness and pre-heat oven to 220C.
For the feta and tomato tartlets I cut these into small circles and topped with a feta, a halved cherry tomato and a sprinkling of oregano. I used the remainder for a batch of spicy sausage rolls.

Truffle, I could gorge myself on party snacks like those! You've excelled at one of my greatest weaknesses.

Sounds like a terrific menu, Truffle. esp. since it's fuss free. The tartlets look great - I would probably end up eating a few of those even before my guests arrive :-)

- Truffle said...
Lucy- Thanks! They're so simple to put together but have such lovely vibrant colours I think.
Cindy- I am the same! I'm known to overdo it on party food. Thanks so much :)
Nora B- Thanks for the kind words. I did do a little trial run to sample a few items in the name of quality control :)

Perfect! I love bitesize food. What am I saying? I love all food. Except celery that is.
- 10 June 2007 at 10:35 pm
I was there and I can vouch for the wonderful taste of the food. The sausage rolls were very tasty. Plus we also drank a bathtub of booze.

Truffle, you have done a fantastic job! I love small food like these. Would even make them for myself! :D

- Susan said...
Beautiful results. You were wise to purchase some of the offerings. I once underestimated the time, blood, sweat and tears for a number of home made hors d'oeuvres for a New Year's Eve party. Never worked so hard, messed up so many kitchen tools... Almost missed the stroke of midnight!

Looks/sounds like a great bash!
I've really been getting into the wonders of puff pastry lately...however, I'm not about to make my own. If I ever decide to I'll know where to look ;-)
- 11 June 2007 at 12:51 pm
- Cynthia said...
Truffle, I am so happy to discover your blog! Thanks for taking the time to visit mine and leave such an enthusiastic comment.
Sounds like you had a great party and the food looks superb.
I've added you to my blog roll and feeds so that I never miss another of your posts.

Terrific menu! How did the cake turn out?

Gorgeous little smoked salmon tarlets, truffle! The one in the centre of the photograph looks nicest of all :)
- 11 June 2007 at 7:41 pm
- Truffle said...
Amanda- I am the same. The great thing about bite size is that you have room to try more items which can only be a good thing!
Tim- Thanks very much! I am trying to forget the bathtub of booze. Oh dear!
Anh- Thanks. I'm tempted to do the same sometimes!
Susan- Sounds like a very stressful night! I had a criteria of only cooking things that needed no more than heating in the oven once guests arrived. Nothing worse than being stuck in the kitchen all night!
Katiez- I'm really enjoying puff pastry at the moment too. You're a wise woman. I've never had a problem with the ready bought stuff and I'd much rather spend my kitchen time on the fillings.
Cynthia- Thanks so much for the kind words. I'll be following your posts too.
Thanks Helen! The cake was light (apart from the frosting!) and lemony and there is none left which I'm taking as a good sign :)
Thanks mutemonkey! That's lovely of you to say.

Im glad you enjoy entertaining crowds. I have vowed to never do it again after my last attempt. I hosted a dinner party for a friends birthday last month. By the time the guests arrived, I was so stressed out, all I wanted to do was get very drunk! Luckily my beloved Mike, came to rescue and saved the entire event by literally throwing me out of the kitchen! Admittedly the menu was on the difficult side- homemade pumpkin ravioli served in crystal clear consomme, followed by balsamic roasted duck with a red wine jus. Not the easiest of menus to serve to a crowd..Once again thankyou Mikey.

Launched back in 2009, the PSP's Digital Comics Reader grew a loyal consumer base as the library of comics swelled past 4,000. However, if you were a fan of the service, we've got some bad news for you – no more comics will be coming to the PSP.
Over on the EU PS Blog, Yaster explained that no more updates would be coming to the PSP:
This is going to be your last comic store update for PSP as the Digital Comics Team are now working on bringing the comic service to other Sony devices.
The "other Sony devices" likely include the PlayStation Vita and possibly even the PS3. The service could also make its way to PlayStation Certified devices such as the Xperia Play and S1 and S2 Sony tablets.
While we're happy to see the service expand past its PSP roots, it is sad to see that the PSP updates have completely ceased considering the fact that the Vita may not even release until 2012.

Inspiring days of VT Awesomeness (& Asian Persuasion Pulled Pork Tacos)
I like NPR. I like to get informed while I'm driving or gardening... You know that rush of modern-day euphoria that comes with successful multitasking... (usually the time-saving is a false reality) but sometimes... I listen to too much and go into a panic... things such as asinine conflicts of interest, preposterous injustice, mainstream America's penchant for tastelessness and choosing wealth over health... when coupled with dandelions and damn GNATS massacring one's gardens and greenhouse, can result in a dicey state of frustration and overwhelm...
I'm not claiming this is some sort of farm-wide epidemic or anything
Clearly we all have different coping mechanisms.
Some of us are granted nine-inch long ears.
I was granted a mother who exemplifies calm (enter fear of adoption creeping back in here). So I, rather than hiding under a silky-smooth built-in eye mask, take a deep breath and think of my mom (who is the protagonist of a famous quote originally verbalized one fine Caribbean sailing day by one fine old sailing buddy probably circa '76-ish... "I could take a xanax, or I could just hang out with Dana") reminding me to calm down and that all I can do is one thing at a time and I might as well quit stressing out, because stress in itself is a royal waste of energy.
ACTION, on the other hand, is the preferred modus operandi: When you can't save the whole world in five minutes.... You may as well begin with your own plate! So what better idea than to sharpen your knives and head down to your local USDA-inspected Food Hub and butcher some pigs. You know, as one does...
when they have a USDA inspected facility right around the corner!? (How cool is that!) The Mad River Food Hub. Actually, it is so cool that Barry Estabrook wrote about it already (I think Barry is awesome... I'll even forgive him for referring to my husband as "Don" ....Don von...!? oh dear...) Oh, and the knife bit, above, was just for effect; I don't really care for sharpening knives AND the beauty is that I didn't have to; butchering knives were included in our rental of the facility... extremely sharp knives tended to by this meat master--Food Hub manager Jacob Finsen, who led us through our double-hog day with encyclopedic knowlege
And style. And grace. And humor.
He wasn't even phased by my inordinately-excited-bordering-on-diabolic-and-obsessive enthusiasm for my future prosciutti... Or at least he made me feel like I wasn't alone in my world... which, I think, is what one really should look for in a butcher.
Cut-by-cut, we made our way through two VT Whey-Fed Pigs. Notice the spotless backdrop; contrary to popular layperson's belief, butchering is not bloody or smelly or yucky. It is clean and scientific and extremely interesting. If you are afraid of blood and guts don't participate in the killing part... or at least work up to it. And please for the love of meat remember to dress for the occasion
If you've never butchered before for fear of a gruesome bloodbath... you'll be pleased to know that by the time your animal is ready to be cut up, all the blood is drained out and you are simply working with food. I wouldn't last for five minutes if butchering were a more "medical"-type situation... You see I have a fainting tendency... so if I can comfortably and enthusiastically spend a day cutting up large animals who used to be really cute, then I am confident you can too.
The prizes are a major bonus too... There are expertly tied roasts of all sorts, there were pork bellies which we turned into incredible pancetta and the dreamiest bacon ever, there are country-style ribs and baby-back ribs and huge hams and ripping rib chops and gorgeous loin chops
We learned how to remove aitch bones, we saved leaf lard which I later rendered (easy as pie) for making pastry, we saved skinlets for future chicharrones, we made hot sausage with cayenne and smoky paprika and fennel, and sweet sausage with maple sugar and sage and black pepper...
And we learned that the key to spice dispersal in sausage is adding a touch of water to your spice blend and making it into a slurry. (ew, can we get a better word for that please!?)
Sausage is the easiest thing in the world to make. The simplicity : addiction ratio is favorable... probably dangerously favorable (I've seen drug-like mania-inducing attachment to sausage, many a time)
We didn't do any weinies or anything in a casing... (I believe we discussed my opinion on tube-shaped meat units last time and the fact that all sausages in stores are cased in industrial slaughterhouse-generated intestine casings, even if they claim the USDA organic label... ((sorry to burst your bubbles tube shaped meat unit fans but "all-natural" means nothing. Please do let me know if you find a source but I have searched high and low and will be making muslin tubes to use for saucisson experimentation in the future...)))
So we have delicious ground sausage... that we can form into any shape we please...(ducky shaped sausage bits anyone?!) and a vast array of new knowledge. Thank you Mad River Food Hub!
High on hog meat and enlightened by our positive food supply control action (those always bring enlightenment; trust me on this and try raising your own animals or planting a garden!) moonlighting season began (the span from April through November when "diversified" farmers attempt to invent more hours in the day and go through too many headlamp batteries despite the fact that night doesn't fall until after 8pm....
On Sunday we do things like this
And feng-shui the laundry room to be much more inviting...
And then I dug up approximately 10,613 dandelions. And listened to more NPR. And became infuriated with politics. And considered inventing our own favorable strict religion that forbades work on Sundays.
And then, voila'! The RAD people over at NEKTTA (Northeast Kingdom Travel & Tourism Association) informed me of their upcoming 2nd annual Farm & Food Summit at Jay Peak. Before thinking about the perpetual shortage of time, we just jumped in the car.
Two hours later I was renewed with unwavering optimism regarding the copacetic future of Vermont's evolving collective food system.
I was in a giant room with a ton of people who care so much! My smile was hurting my cheeks. I didn't even have time for my usual wonderments about why the carpet in every large hotel or conference center is, without-fail, nothing short of heinous. Always. Nope, I didn't even think about the carpet once. I was too busy scribbling ideas and picking up my jaw that kept dropping uncontrollably during Tamara's presentation. Tamara and Rob Martin are total badasses. They run the 600-acre organic Chandler Pond Farm in South Wheelock, VT. As she described their incredible and diverse farming operation that includes: running a CSA and a farmstand and selling at farmers markets, vegetables, hay, pigs, turkeys, broilers, eggs, Devon beef, bottled raw Devon milk, pick-your-own strawberries, sugaring, flowers, hay rides & a play group, hosting Feast in the Field dinners... and oh yeah, homeschooling three kids and even doing a bit of teaching at Lyndon State College in their "spare" time... I:
a) Had a new role model
b) Wanted her to organize my life
c) Googled how many hours exist in a day in the "magical" Northeast Kingdom...
d) Thought that she should create some time in her light schedule to give motivational talks all over the world to inspire future stewards of the land
e) Have reminded my dear woodsman at least eight times that the Martins went on vacation for three weeks this winter.
Thanks Chandler Pond Farm; you guys rock.
Thanks NEKTTA; you guys rock.
The only time I thought about the carpet-er-rather the lighting... was later on when I attempted to document another cool presentation
...it is never inspiring to take photos inside window-less conference halls. That is Michelle from Michelle's Spicy Kimchi in Craftsbury. She and several other cool food producers, utilize the awesome Vermont Food Venture Center (VFVC) in Hardwick. VFVC is a "shared-use kitchen incubator for value-added and specialty food producers." A similar model to our Food Hub. Small scale sustainable food production! I'm so happy!
My dandelion anger is no longer... Theres nothing like overwhelmingly inspiring spring days to remind me that yes there is a long way to go in the sport of collective food system consciousness, but, we have also come a long way and the Northeast Kingdom is doing a damn fine job of spreading the word.
I realized I really shouldn't be angry at such a miraculous plant... and the woodsman is still not that into dandelion greens... (secret: fry bacon first, then sauté dandelion greens w/ sweet potatoes. Douse with red-wine vinegar, tarragon mustard & olive oil)
I left the dandelion out of these tacos but I say go for it... nothing like pork and sauce to mask bitterness...
So let's talk Boston Butts. Contrary to the name, a Boston Butt is actually cut from the pork shoulder... go figure... and makes for some glorious pulled pork. And who doesn't like pulled pork. Well actually, in my opinion pulled pork is no good unless the sauce is good... Its all about the sauce. But I have very rarely had anything different than your normal old (yummy) barbecue sauced pp. You can easily make a mountain of pulled pork and have a number of varying experiences simply by switching up your accoutrement. Yay!
Asian Persuasion Pulled Pork (Tacos) ie: you obviously don't have to go the taco route but I do recommend!
1 Boston Butt (or any pork shoulder roast) approx 5lbs
Spice Rub (Anything comprising salt & sugar will be good... use your imagination here!) I used: approx. 1/4 cup Sucanat (dried cane juice that tastes deliciously molasses-y), 1/8 cup sea salt, 1 tbsp smoked paprika, 2 tsp cayenne, 1 tbsp mixed freshly ground peppercorns, 1 tsp Chinese 5-spice powder, 2 tbsp grated fresh ginger...I wanted Thai basil as well but it hasn't come up yet...)
Braising liquid: 1/4 c. Tamari or soy sauce; 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar; cilantro stems & leaves; lemongrass and/or Thai basil if you have it :)
1-2 apples (I think apricots would be a sublime replacement here if you have them!)
1-2 Red onions
Asian Persuasion Sauce for Pork
(as usual, I don't measure, I taste, but I just listed approximations for those measuring types)
1 tbsp maple syrup, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1 tbsp fish sauce, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 3 tbsp Hoisin sauce (normally I'd make my own but it is moonlighting season and I don't live in the NE Kingdom where days are 2x as long...) Season with cayenne & sugar to taste.
Taco Accoutrement
Cabbage & apricot salad: slice 1/2 head of green cabbage very thinly and toss with: a handful of thinly sliced dried apricots, a few sprigs of cilantro and drizzle with apple cider vinegar and toasted sesame oil. Salt & fresh black pepper to taste.
Good organic corn tortillas (I like Sonoma brand or make your own!)
1)Toss your spice rub ingredients together in a bowl and massage into the meat thoroughly. Let sit in the fridge overnight. (Or a couple of hours)
This was my first time using a slow-cooker... I was skeptical to say the least. But I thought it would be wasteful to have the oven on for 6-8 hrs... So I went for it. And do highly recommend. I just put it on "high" (there were only two options on that thing...) It was a bit of a tight fit...
If you don't have a slow cooker, you can braise this thing in a Dutch Oven, so preheat to 325.
•Slice the 1-2 apples (or apricots) and 1-2 onions in whichever shape (ducky!?) you'd like and place them in the bottom of the slow-cooker or Dutch oven.
•Place your pork on top. Roughly chop or tear a handful each of cilantro and Thai basil if you have it, and sprinkle on top. Slice 2 stalks of lemongrass (if you have it) into 1-inch pieces and mix with other braising liquid ingredients. Pour liquid over meat, add enough water so that the cooker is filled to 2/3. Cover and slow cook... I flipped this meat every two hours. At hour 5 I had to pour out some of the liquid as I was worried about an overflow. At hour 6.5 the meat registered an internal temp of 195 and was falling off the bone...
•Place meat on a platter to cool. Meanwhile, make the cabbage salad and Asian Persuasion sauce.
•Pull the pork. Literally, just pull it apart into strands, with clean hands.
•Heat a bit of coconut oil (or other) in a pan and crisp up the tortillas
•Fill tortillas with pork, drizzle with sauce, top with salad
Do it again.
Report back with tales of food enlightenment, tacos, dandelion greens or small-scale sustainable food production.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Rory MacDonald says he doesn't feel any added pressure as Canada's top mixed martial arts star in Georges St. Pierre's absence.
In fact, his mentor's hiatus from the UFC makes McDonald's bid to reach the top of the welterweight division a little easier.
"It opens things up for me to get to where I want to be," MacDonald said. "I've learned a lot from Georges. No extra pressure. I've just got to be myself."
It remains to be seen if St. Pierre will return to the sport he dominated, but the 24-year-old MacDonald — who goes by the nickname "Ares" — is intent on continuing his climb Saturday night at UFC 174 when he takes on Tyron Woodley in the co-main event at Rogers Arena.
Both men have their sights set on Johny Hendricks' welterweight title, with MacDonald ranked as the No. 2 challenger and Woodley at No. 3.
Shy in front of the media glare, MacDonald said he just has to continue working on what has brought him to this point.
"I think people like me for who I am," said MacDonald, who was born in British Columbia but now trains in Montreal. "I've gotten to the position I'm in because of being who I am — a couple stumbles along the way but I feel like I'm hitting my stride right now."
One of those stumbles actually came in Vancouver when MacDonald (16-2) lost at UFC 115 in June 2010 to Carlos Condit. MacDonald's only other loss came to Robbie Lawler in a split decision at UFC 167 in November, but MacDonald rebounded to beat Demian Maia in a split decision at UFC 170 in February.
"You pick and choose your spots. You play between defense and offense against other good fighters," MacDonald said. "I just had a great training camp. No injuries and things went great. I felt great in my sparrings and my techniques are sharp."
Woodley (13-2), a two-time All-America wrestler at the University of Missouri, has fought in only three UFC bouts, including a technical knockout victory over Condit at UFC 171 in March.
MacDonald said if he fights to his strengths against Woodley, he should come out on top.
"I know the techniques. They come out as instinct right now," MacDonald said. "I've trained them so much. So I've just got to go in there and do my thing. I'm ready for everything. Last time here was unbelievable, the response I got. If it's the same, more, or less I'll be ready."
MacDonald said he doesn't study video of his opponents before a fight, preferring to use his instincts.
"I've fought a lot of people in the past — never seen them, never heard of them and had to deal with their problems," he said. "I find it easier to do it like that, to react in the cage."
MacDonald is hoping for the same against Woodley.
"He's a great fighter. To beat him you have to be tricky and use good techniques," he said. "I feel very confident in my abilities and the solutions I have."

I let my trial expire too without having really done a proper evaluation. Could I please get a reset ?
Thanks !
I let my trial expire too without having really done a proper evaluation. Could I please get a reset ?
Thanks !
I downloaded and installed Sencha Architect a while back, but didn't really get much 'trying' done, could you please reset my evaluation period so I can get my hands on it? This time I do have the time to really test it and see if it meets my needs.
Thanks in advance.
cmassieu -
Everyone's Sencha Architect trials were reset until Sept 12. When launching the application click on Login as a new user and then re-login. This will extend your trial until then.
Aaron Conran
I'd love a reset myself - wasted a couple weeks without giving Architect a spin, and then my trial is about to expire before I completed giving birth to my first 'hello world' type of simple application..
Any chance you guys are still giving out trial resets, or am I too late? =)
Oh, and do trials get updates? I'd be super interested to see the improvements in 2.2, if that's coming out any time soon..
Trials do get updates. We are currently on the 2.1.x channel to the public.
Aaron Conran
Hi Friends at Sencha. I have been a RIA developer for quite some years now, (Silverlight) I have been looking for a cross platform framework and tool that work on html5 and all devices and I have come to find Sencha and I am loving it. I downloaded Architect but I didnt have a chance to properly test it because I was working in another (yes, my very last silverlight project). I only had a chance to open it and play a little bit with some layouts. I really want to commit to this technology and I think architect may be the tool I can use and recommend to my clients but I need more time to try it. Please help me out by extending my trial and let me see what I can achieve with this tool that looks and feel great. In return I offer you to become a very devoted Sencha dev and also an influencer to bring more devs to the platform. I also want to be more in touch with the forums and if possible the dev team. Thanks in advance and regards. (My user name is Will de la Vega and my email is [email protected])
Hi Guys,
Could I please get an extension in my trial account for Sencha Architect.
I have not been able to really evaluate it and would like to do now while I have the time.
Hi, can I have reset the trial too?
I was given the approval to extend your trial for 2 weeks. Please click log on as another user, and then log in as yourself again in order for it to reset on your end.
I've also not have the time to test with the sencha archtect. Can you also extend my trail, please?

About Simba7
If Texans want an "Information Service"
I thought that was Faux News.
Thanks Tester (D-MT) and Daines (R-MT). You rock!
I already want to do this. I'd like to combine recent technologies (White Spaces, Fiber, etc) and form a national ISP that actually gives a crap about their customers.
Excellent, IN THE U.S., customer service, actual knowledgeable tech support staff, guaranteed speeds that the customer pays for, up-to-date equipment, etc.
Of course, investors who want to invest in this in the LONG run, not the short termers who want their returns in a few weeks.
I'd just spam the crap out of 'em until their email server crashed and spewed its' guts.
I wonder what would happen if you sent them every page of the law books as a separate email with the attachment being a 6400x6400dpi RAW scan. *evil grin*
Why can't they do a wireless sync at school with a time limit on the content?
Not that hard, people. Just get near the school so the device can pick up the WiFi signal and have it update itself with the new information.
If you're scared if the content might leak out to the Internet, utilize the TPM chip inside some computers to secure the information to that particular system.
..and if it's a digital textbook and you are attending school, it should update itself without issues. I know most tablets and e-readers have digital serial numbers built into the hardware and/or software. Just have the encryption certificates expire every Monday (or whenever) and renew.
People are making this more complicated than it has to be.
Good luck. At this rate, they'll all be in the **AA's pocket.
Looks like both of our senators said "Nay". I'm glad they hate the Patriot Act just as much as I do.
..oh.. Don't forget Seagate, WD, Samsung, Hitachi, and other HDD manufacturers that store pirated content..
..and Intel, AMD, and other processor companies that run the computers that store pirated content.
Oh hell, the CD/DVD Drive manufacturers too.. These devices are used to copy the CD to the computers' HDD.
You know what, let's just sue Dell, HP, Lenovo, and any other computer manufacturer because they're selling tools (computers) to pirate their material.
"Hi students, this is a radio!. R-A-D-I-O. It's a legal alternative to illegal downloads. Done."
Didn't you miss the memo that the Radio is another form of Piracy, too?
I say, screw the RIAA/MPAA. I'm sick of them turning the U.S. into China where everyone is presumed guilty and everything must be monitored and filtered appropriately.. according to them.
Yep.. It's a good thing I kept my SVHS VCRs.
*glances at his Panasonic AG-1970 and AG-DS850*
Hey, what about capture cards? I know there's an HDMI capture card now. If not, just get a Component or S-Video capture card.
Good thing Hollywood doesn't own the massive backbones the world has. If it did, the Internet that we now know it would cease to exist due to "the possibility of inducing copyright infringement".
Ugh.. I'm soo damn sick of this "inducing" crap that I could puke. Just like the following:
Buying a car can induce global warming
Eating can induce me having to use the toilet
Exercise can induce sweating and exhaustion
The MPAA/RIAA is inducing me to kill several people due to the movie/music telling me to.

Swimming champion Ian Thorpe has thanked supporters after he announced he is gay.
The Australian sports star came out during a television interview with Sir Michael Parkinson after having long faced questions about his sexual orientation.
After receiving an outpouring of support, the athlete - known as the Thorpedo - said today: "To everyone who has sent a message of support I sincerely thank you!"
The five-time Olympic gold medal winner had previously denied being gay, saying his relationships have been with women.
But speaking to Parkinson on Australia's Channel 10, he admitted the real story is different.
Football pundit Gary Lineker described his decision as "brave".
The former England striker said: "Well done @IanThorpe on your 'coming out'. Look, mate, it was a brave and right decision. Good luck to you."
Former Wales star Gareth Thomas, who became the first openly gay professional rugby union player when he came out in 2009, also said on Twitter: "Never question it. Support it. A happy man today."
In the televised interview, Thorpe said he did not want young people to feel the same way he had and admitted the "lie had become so big that I didn't want people to question my integrity".
"I've thought about this for a long time. I'm not straight," he told Parkinson.
"And this is only something that very recently - in the past two weeks - I've been comfortable telling the closest people around me exactly that.
"I don't want young people to feel the same way I did. I've wanted to for some time. I couldn't, I didn't feel as though I could.
"The problem was I was asked at such a young age about my sexuality. I went to an all-boys school, so if you're accused of being gay then the first answer is 'no' and you get ready for a fight.
"Yes, I lied about it. I'm comfortable saying I'm a gay man. My parents told me that they love me and that they support me.
"Part of me didn't know if Australia wanted its champion to be gay. But I'm telling the world that I am."
Thorpe's personal life has been more prominent than his professional one over recent years.
In his 2011 autobiography, This Is Me, he wrote of a battle with depression and his reliance on alcohol.
He added to Parkinson that only the love of his family had stopped him from suicide.
Sorry we are not currently accepting comments on this article.

(I put this in "Initiation" because of the Magister Templi context, but if it´s better placed in other section please move it.)
I always see plenty of cases in the Vision and the Voice of some sort of "neurological leaps", in that his brain parts seems to act clearly differentially, like in the "two voices" of the 25 Aethyr, where one voice is the language and the other the meaning of the speech, like in one of those strange Oliver Sacks books cases but in the context of a vision. Apart from that it would be great that a neurological pov paper would be made about this, I wonder if this is a particularity of this serie of visions, or it´s a common thing in other works by Crowley or others. Primarily because if it would be the case (these being a special particularity of this visions and not of anothers) and being his Magister Templi initiation, some sort of relation could be traced between both things (or not necessarily, I don´t know).

a whole bunch of snack bentos
These are my 3rd grader's snacks from the last couple weeks. I prefer to pack his snacks in a small Lock & Lock box. This particular Lock & Lock box comes with two inner dishes, but I usually will remove one dish. Using only one of the inner dishes allows for a tiny bit more space in the box, still divides the box into two separate areas, AND gives me one less thing to wash at the end of the day. ;-) Ethan's snacks are simple and usually consist of a crunchy carby thing and a fruit.
You will see that the theme here is "let's be redundant".
Wheat Thins & grapes
Pretzels & grapes
Ethan's first Aussie Apple!!
Goldfish crackers & raspberries
Strawberries & Wheat Thins

I'm new to this Bento thing, and quite fascinated by it all. Do the crunchy, carby items lose their crunch being packed in with fruit? Or with sandwiches? I remember my dad packing my lunch and the moisture from my sandwich making my cookies soggy...

Yea, ditto on Tasha's question. My son's crackers DO get soggy. What am I doing wrong?
- September 21, 2010 at 7:34 PM
- Melissa said... [Reply to comment]
We don't have a soggy cracker problem. When I first started bento-ing I would pack lunches the night before and the stuff would get soggy, so I started doing it all in the mornings. His snacks sit for 2-2.5 hours and his lunches for about 4.5 hours and everthing stays crisp. Ethan is VERY particular about his textures and wouldn't tolerate soggy or soft crackers!
Are your crunchy items held away from the wet/moist stuff with seperate containers or silicone cups? Can you try positioning an ice pack away from the crunchy items in the lunchbox?

Ive just spent the last hour browsing through all your posts!! Looks like so much fun! I've ordered some Bento goodies ( just a few to start with ) for my 3 year old for his pre school snacks! Im hoping to inspire him to eat them ;)

I find that my crackers stay crispy, even overnight, as long as they don't touch anything moist--not even cheese. And I hadn't thought about the ice pack--that could be a problem (condensation and everything). Melissa, you are an inspiration. My kids (and hubby, too) are loving the new ideas I find here.

Thanks for the tips. I will try moving the ice pack. That must be it.

This somewhat defeats the waste free portion of bento-ing, but to combat the sogginess I started putting a small piece of press and seal over the crunchy snack. It gets brought home and I can reuse it.
I was doing snack bentos at school but this year my 7yo told me I can't bento her snacks anymore b/c it's too healthy and unlike what the other kids are bringing!
- September 23, 2010 at 8:27 AM
- Gretchen said... [Reply to comment]
After stumbling across your blog, I have since started small - animal shaped cheese. The elephants have been a BIG HIT with my 4 year old. For all the snack bentos you pictured - do your kids eat all of it? The crackers alone would fill mine up for 1/2 a day! The bentos are all so creative and packed full, but wow - seems like a lot of food. Is it? Do they chow it all down?
- September 24, 2010 at 1:25 PM
- Melissa said... [Reply to comment]
Gretchen - your comment makes me laugh. I get so many comments from people saying that there is no way the bentos I pack could fill up their child and how their kid would be starving if "that's all they had to eat", and then I get comments like yours who say just the opposite. LOL :)
These snack boxes hold a handful of crackers and a handful of fruit. That's the perfect snack amount for my 8yo (almost 9yo) son.
He has a pretty light breakfast most mornings because he's just not that hungry yet before going off to school, then he has this snack around 10 and has lunch at 12:30. It's just the right amount of food for him at this point - he does eat all of it.

I have to tell you that although I am getting a little slack at work but I ALWAYS do this to my apples now. I love eating it in pieces and I hate brining a knife to school. It hasn't worked as well for my 7yr old bc he is too picky about the brown but it has been AWESOME for me.

There is a product called Fruit Fresh you can put on fruit that will keep it from turning brown.

How are Laminate Floors made?
Laminate Layer - The top layer is a scratch resistant, protective, transparent UV film that helps extend the durability of the floor.
Design Layer - This is a high quality printed layer which gives the floor its desired effect
Core Layer - This is the largest composition layer made from HDF that gives the laminate flooring its thickness for strength and sturdiness. This is where the click grooves are constructed.
Base Layer - The bottom layer has moisture resistant properties and gives the floor added structural stability.
Why you should choose Laminate flooring?
There are plenty of benefits that make choosing a laminate floor easy. It's a very popular floor thanks to its easy installation, low maintenance and smaller price tag compared to real wood. Unlike a solid or engineered option, laminate flooring is water resistant. This makes it ideal for any room in your property, including bathrooms, provided moisture is cleaned up quickly and planks are tightly laid to avoid water seeping to the core layer.
Where natural materials would expand and contract, laminate floors also do not change in response to temperatures. This means they are also safe to lay in utility rooms and conservatories that experience fluctuations in temperatures throughout the year.
Browse our range of laminate flooring sale and pick up a bargain today. If you can't decide then order a few samples of your choice to help you choose the right floor.
How to buy a Laminate floor?

Whether you're looking for black, white, grey, silver, brown natural oak, light or dark oak flooring we have something that will closely match your required shade of colour.
Rating & Grades
AC Rating, used for laminate floors, is a measure of a floors resistance to abrasion, impact, stains and cigarette burns. The ratings also indicate that the product has been tested for the effects of furniture legs, castors, and swelling along its edges. If a laminate flooring product has a rating, then it has passed all of the test criteria. Failing just one test will disqualify a product.
AC1 – very light use e.g. bedroom
AC2 – light to moderate use e.g. dining rooms, study rooms
AC3 – moderate to regular use e.g. Lounge, hallway and reception
AC4 – Suitable for busier homes that require more durable floors or commercial offices, receptions, salons, cafes and restaurants.
AC5 – Areas with Heavy traffic such as high street retail stores and busier restaurants and cafes.
Suitable for all areas
We have laminate flooring for all areas including water resistance and splash resistant floors suitable for installation in kitchens and bathrooms, scratch resistance for children bedrooms and play areas, UV protected floors for longer life in conservatories and areas that catch more sunlight than usual.
Easy Installation
Laminate floors use the easy click installation method. The click system means the planks simply fit together like a jigsaw without the need for any adhesive or additional joining methods.
Care & Maintenance
Care is almost non-existence unlike wood where you may need to treat or sand the wood down every so often but you should take general care and precaution for any floor to make it last as long as possible.
Cleaning is easy with laminate floors. You can easily dust the surface using a soft cloth broom or if you have dried spillages you can clean with a damp cloth without having to scrub the floor.
Hygiene can easily be maintained because its so easy to clean regularly.
Allergy sufferers can be rest assured that laminate flooring can be maintained to one of the most dust free floors on the market.

It's a simple log-in screen with the computer's icon, user name, password and session details in front of the default 12.10 background in a small log in window in the center. I want the original log in screen. (dotted wallpaper with changing background as you change the user)
Do I have to install Ubuntu again to get the log-in screen back?

Motives Behind Shortage PromotionBy Ericka Chickowski | Posted 2008-03-05 Print
Despite what you've been told about the IT skills shortage, there's a multitude of evidence that suggests that line of reasoning is a self-serving myth. Baseline cuts in to the belly of the IT shortage debate.
Motives behind shortage promotion
So if there is no quantitative evidence pointing to a skills shortfall, why are there so many claims to the contrary? Teitelbaum asked that rhetorical question in front of Congress last fall.
"So why, you might ask, do you continue to hear energetic re-assertions of the conventional portrait of 'shortages,' shortfalls, failures of K-12 science and math teaching, declining interest among US students, and the necessity of importing more foreign scientists engineers?" he said. "In my judgment, what you are hearing is simply the expressions of interests by interest groups and their lobbyists. Interest groups that are well organized and funded have the capacity to make their claims heard by you (in Congress), either directly or via echoes in the mass press. Meanwhile those who are not well-organized and funded can express their views, but only as individuals."
Hira also believes that the promotion of what he calls the shortage "myth" supports several group's political and business objectives, whether true or not.
"There's no data that one can point to that indicates a shortage outside of the opinions of interested parties," Hira said. "I don't know why they're making these statements outside of for political gain and for their own interests."
In the case of industry business people, the motive is to get the Feds to loosen immigration restrictions for cheap foreign labor, to increase supply of workers in order to reduce labor costs and to justify offshore outsourcing efforts, Hira said.
"If industry would work cooperatively with worker groups in identifying real areas that are emerging where they believe there will be demand and working with universities then you could then have a more responsive system," Hira said. "But instead they throw out the foreign guest worker thing every single time, so it's hard to believe that they are serious about this when they use this for political gain. Adjusting the foreign guest worker program is the primary solution that they are looking for."
He's not alone in his beliefs about these motives.
"They want to justify whatever business actions they're taking or they want to take," Wadhwa said. "In this case you have companies are going over seas and they're trying to say, 'Look it isn't us, it's the fact that American education is not graduating enough engineers. This is why we are doing it.'"
Meanwhile, universities are also set on perpetuating the shortage perception because they themselves are promoting their business interests, Hira said.
During the last tech boom many universities staffed up in order to churn out enough students to meet IT's then-growing demand for applicants. Now that that has leveled off many universities are overstaffed for the current crop of students. They want to put students in seats in order to keep the lights on.
"You've got a lot of faculty and university administrators that have a lot of faculty resources tied up in those fields and certainly not enough students and so they want to encourage people to get into those fields and attract students," Hira said.

Sales of mobile phones around the world fell last year for the first time since 2009 as consumers shunned cheaper feature phones, research company Gartner said on Wednesday.
But smartphone sales, a category dominated by Samsung and Apple, continued to rise, Gartner said, and the higher-end devices would account for more than half the market for the first time this year. In the fourth quarter alone, Apple and Samsung accounted for 52% of smartphone sales, up from 46% in the third quarter.
BlackBerry, which recently changed its name from Research In Motion Ltd., saw its handset sales decline 33.6% in 2012 from a year earlier. In the smartphone operating system market, the Waterloo, Ont.-based company was down 44.4% in the fourth quarter of 2012.
Total worldwide mobile sales to end users fell 1.7% to 1.75 billion units in 2012, Gartner said.
"Tough economic conditions, shifting consumer preferences, and intense market competition weakened the worldwide mobile phone market," Gartner analyst Anshul Gupta said on Wednesday.
Samsung and Apple continued to dominate the market, with the Korean company selling 385 million phones in 2012, of which 53.5% were smartphones, with Apple selling 130 million smartphones.
Microsoft's smartphone share grew 1.2 percentage points, with its sales increasing 124.2% year-on-year.
"2013 will be the year of the rise of the third ecosystem as the battle between the new BlackBerry 10 and Windows Phone intensifies," Gupta said.
Chinese company Huawei reached third spot in worldwide smartphone sales for the first time in the fourth quarter, Gartner said. It sold 27.2 million smartphones to end users in 2012, up 74%.

A Small Cash Box Powers Up Girls in Burundi (REPORT)
By a HUMNEWS Correspondent in East Africa
(HN, July 15, 2011) - It doesn't look like much at first glance, but the small tin cash box holds in it a lot of promise and dreams for about 30 girls gathered today in a suburb of Bujumbura, the capital of Burundi.
Not surprisingly, custodians of the box protect it with all they have. Not only does it help funds dreams through small loans, it also helps out members of the Ishaka solidarity group in times of crisis, perhaps to fund funeral expenses.
Little wonder then that the group's savings are kept in a locked box that has three padlocks, held by three different girls.
This group of girls belong to Ishaka - a project to socially and economically empower girls, aged 14-22 in the two main urban areas of Burundi.
Many of their stories bear painful similarities. Young girls who loose their parents or care givers, or are thrown out onto the streets after becoming pregnant at a young age. They try to fend for themselves, end up having to beg for money or engage as sex workers, become pregnant and can no longer fend for themselves.
Even in relatively normal household environments in Burundi, domestic violence is widespread, says CARE Burundi Country Director Michelle Carter. It is believed that decades of civil unrest has created an environment for domestic violence to thrive. In addition, the unrest and scourge of HIV and AIDS has left behind many orphans.
To make matters worse, discriminatory laws and a patriarchal system make young women more susceptible to early marriage, sexual exploitation and early pregnancy.
Many girls find Ishaka at the depths of utter despair. The solidarity group not only helps boost their self confidence, it extends micro-loans for approved projects and educates the girls on life skills such as how to protect themselves against sexually-transmitted diseases.
Ishaka provides financial support so that the girls will not be forced to beg for money from boys and others. The loans are small - as little as $33 dollars, even less sometimes - but enough for the girls to start small businesses. One girl sold enough beer to purchase a rabbit that would be rented out for breeding. That eventually generated enough income for a goat and some pigs, and then school fees. Another borrowed just eight dollars to start an egg business, which eventually propelled her back to school.
Every participant is expected to make a deposit at each meeting: in this case 80% is dedicated towards a savings and loan fund and 20% towards social causes, or a rainy-day fund. At the beginning of each meeting, the savings are carefully counted - in such silence one could hear a pin drop.
"If not for Ishaka I wouldn't be where I am," said one graduate, who has opened up a small farm. "I'm no longer dependent on boys."
Christine, another participant who is a single mother of two, used her first loan to buy and sell corn. Within five months she paid back the loan, used her profits to build a small home and even ended up with some savings. "I put the past behind me and replaced it with dignity," she said.
The mechanics are elegantly simple: a group is self-selected and self-managed, with between 10-30 members. All members must meet and save on a regular basis. Decisions are made collectively, and subtle peer pressure helps ensure compliance.
A solar-powered and wind-up radios play an integral part of this initiative, by allowing groups to listen to financial literacy and life skills broadcasts.
When asked what skills they would like to pick-up, the girls said they are keen to learn soap-making as it could be easily sold in their community for income.
The Ishaka project has been supported by the Nike Foundation, with funding totalling $2.58 million over three-and-a-half years. More than 12,000 girls have benefited so far, with another 8,000 still to take advantage.
Many participants discover Ishaka by word of mouth, or from CARE staff during visits to various neighbourhoods. In early phases CARE staff provide intensive monitoring, but gradually blend into the background to allow the girls to lead themselves.
One of the wonderful aspects of the project, Carter said, is that it is easily replicable, designed to be scaled-up when necessary. Infrastructure and overhead is kept to a minimum.
To be sure, the graduates, or successful businesswomen, serve as superb role models for the younger participants.
At a recent meeting in June, one 22-year-old gave a passionate lecture on the scourge of HIV and AIDS, and quizzed her younger colleagues on how to protect themselves.
Afterwards, old and young embraced each other and erupted into a spontaneous celebration of song and dance.

I'm not sure if this is JUST the Wii version as I haven't played it on my PC nearly to the point that I've played it on my Wii, but after the scene in the courtroom when the jukebox in St. James is available for use, if you select "You search, but find nothing," the song begins to play, but after maybe twenty seconds everything goes crazy. The graphics become a black and white mess and all sound stops. At this point, any attempt to interact with anything that will produce sound (either talking to somebody or going to the menu and back to restart the sound) will cause the game to promptly crash back to the Homebrew Channel. I'm on Sysmenu 4.3 with IOS58 if that has any bearing on anything.
EDIT: After upgrading to the latest developer build and installing the ScummVM channel, the effect of the crash has changed somewhat. Now, instead of the graphics becoming black and white and glitchy, the entire screen becomes a solid shade of gray that I can see some command-prompt type text flickering behind, and the cursor briefly becomes a solid gray box of a slightly darker shade. Once it becomes an arrow or crosshair again, clicking anything instantly terminates the game.

Now in its 26th year, New Orleans' annual Celebration in the Oaks in City Park is an event looked forward to by adults and children alike every holiday season. Located in the Mid-City neighborhood, City Park is transformed each December into a magical winter wonderland full of striking light designs and sculptures.
From the day after Thanksgiving—this year, November 23rd—until New Year's Day, Celebration in the Oaks keeps City Park aglow long into the night with innumerable lights in a variety of colors and designs. Some strands wrap the majestic branches of the park's live oak trees, and others wrap the Christmas trees that are sprinkled throughout the area.
You can take walks through the Botanical Garden, Storyland—the fairy tale-themed children's theme park—and Carousel Gardens, an area of amusement rides. All of the park's normal attractions will be specially decorated for the holidays, and the area will be filled with different animals, stars, icicles, and other picturesque shapes. You can also enjoy a Cajun rendition of the Night Before Christmas classic, complete with blinking lights, colorful characters, and a wonderful story perfect for your little ones.
In addition to the gorgeously lit tours of the park, there are several vintage rides for kids and adults alike, including a Ferris Wheel, a Tilt-a-Whirl, and the ladybug roller coaster. There's also a mini-train that children can ride around the park, which is also specially decorated for the celebration.
If you're planning a trip to Celebration in the Oaks, tickets are available for $7.00 per person and children under three get in for free. Tickets for the train are $4.00 per person, and rides are $3.00 per single ride ticket and $17.00 for an unlimited ride band, including the train. The event is open from November 23rd through Jan 1st, but is closed Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve. Sundays through Thursdays the celebration is open from 6 till 10pm, and from 6 till 11pm on Friday and Saturday evenings.

A Fontana man who admitted to throwing a police dog out of a window during a search was sentenced to three years in county prison on Friday.
Bryan Bills, 28, was originally charged with two counts each of injuring a police dog and resisting a peace officer, according to court records.
On April 12, Bills took a plea bargain and pleaded guilty to one count of each charge. The other two charges were dismissed Friday in Fontana Superior Court.
Authorities sent police K-9 Jaris into a home in the 9500 block of Mango Avenue on March 31 to subdue Bills, a wanted parolee.
When the dog ran toward Bills, the man used the dog's momentum to throw him out of an open window, police said.
The 61/2-year-old Belgian malinois fell on his head on the concrete below but has since recovered and returned to duty, police said.

Crossing the Trans-America Trail in 2013 Land Rover LR4sPosted in Events on January 22, 2014
Land Rover took our Dirt Every Day concept to the max last summer with a trip across the Trans-America Trail (TAT). The trail starts in southeastern Tennessee and ends at the Pacific Ocean in southwestern Oregon, nearly 5,000 miles of mostly off-pavement driving. The TAT is the brainchild of Sam Correro, who made it his life's work to bring this vision into reality. Hundreds of motorcycles share this dream and use Sam's maps and rollcharts to travel all or part of the TAT each year, but there have been no documented completions of the Trans-America Trail in a 4-wheel vehicle. Until now.
Four brand-new LR4s were outfitted with dealer-equipped Warn winches, skidplates, and Front Runner roof racks. That's it. No lift kits (beyond from the factory air coil's 3-inch range of adjustability), no mud-terrain tires, not even a rooftop tent. Land Rover did not deem anything else necessary, as the LR4 comes with a 375hp V-8 engine, six-speed automatic transmission, a two-speed transfer case, and a rear locking differential. Add in what is arguably the best electronic traction control system on the market and you can see why Land Rover was so confident.
This was a great reminder that you don't always need the biggest tires or the latest gadget to hit the trail, just a reliable vehicle and a sense of adventure. Of course, some Camel Trophy experience doesn't hurt either!
A Week With Tom Collins, aka Mr. Camel Trophy
Tom Collins is the Most Interesting Man in the World (so much so that he even has a drink named after him). He is best known for representing the USA in the Camel Trophy in 1987 Madagascar and later as team director for the U.S. Camel Trophy Team. We learned many things from Collins during our time together, the most important of which was tire placement. With 19-inch rims and low-profile tires, it is critical to know exactly where the tires are at all times and avoid sharp rocks that could result in flats.

In honor of Halloween approaching, I would like to talk about zombie movies and how they relate to the Packers offense. Currently, there are two versions of the Packers' offense, the Night of the Living Dead offense and the 28 Days Later offense. These two versions should coexist and work together, but unfortunately the only one that has been present is the 28 Days Later version. This analogy seems clear to me, but it might need explaining to the casual football fan or casual zombie movie viewer as to how the offense can be labeled through a reference to zombie movies.
Night of the Living Dead is the greatest horror movie I have ever seen. The reason for its greatness is the simplicity with which it scares the living daylights out of you. There are zero special effects, the zombie makeup just looks like someone is working through a bad hangover (basically, it looks like me today), it's in black and white, and the goriest part is a girl eating her dead father. What makes this movie so great is the plodding nature of the zombies, they are not in any hurry, they are confident in their quest for brains and flesh, and they simply refuse to be denied. There is nothing flashy about them, and the living can never seem to outwit them even thought the zombies have zero capacity for decision-making. Their single-minded goal makes them unstoppable through the course of the movie. I liken this movie and its zombies to a 95 yard scoring drive, something that has been severely lacking for the Packers. The plodding nature of a clock-eating drive can scare the hell out of an opposing defense. When all the defense can do is slowly back up and retreat, they starts to lose hope and eventually succumb to the flesh-eaters, err offense.
28 Days Later is also a great zombie horror movie, 4th best all-time to be specific. It's an in-your-face, all-or-nothing, make you jump out of your seat zombie fest. However, somewhere over the 34 years between Night of the Living Dead, and 28 Days Later, zombies gained superhuman strength and the ability to run 4.4 40's and leap over 10 foot walls. This is how zombies attack you in the modern day and granted it's fun to watch, but it has its limitations. In 28 Days Later, the zombies can't sustain themselves and they eventually die (Redie? Unundead?) from starvation. This is the version of Zombie-offense that the Packers are running; it is an all-or-nothing scoring offense. They rely on long pass plays to move the ball and score, but when they don't, they are forced to punt 28 seconds later. Man, that was bad even for me. Sure, this is fun to watch when it succeeds, but to sustain itself, the Packers' offense needs to become a much more methodical unit, much like the zombies of George Romero. Those things would last forever outside the Pennsylvania farmhouse if it wasn't for that damn posse…I guarantee they are still milling around the mall.
Either way, I'm hoping the Packers O starts off Sunday with a singular goal: flesh and brains.
Yeah…I just saw Zombieland and, yeah, I want a Twinkie.

Congratulations! Crystal Bowersox Marries Brian Walker Following Whirlwind Courtship!
The 'American Idol' runner-up and her boyfriend of just a few months tie the knot in an intimate ceremony with guests including Didi Benami!
Crystal Bowersox may not have managed to win American Idol, but it looks like she got something even better Oct. 10 — she married musician boyfriend Brian Walker! People reports that the couple wed in Chicago, the hippie bride unsurprisingly in, "an Earth-friendly hemp and cotton gown from Vermont designer Tara Lynn that features macramé, seashell and bead detailing and was created in the designer's solar-powered studio." That sounds about right.
Among the 60 guests at the intimate ceremony were Crystal's son Troy from a previous relationship, Idol contestant Didi Benami, and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia actor Lance Barber.
The reception was to feature, "a laughing Buddha cake from Bleeding Heart Bakery, a local organic and sustainable business, and performances from the groom and several musician pals."
Crystal will soon return to the studio to begin work on her first album.
Congratulations to the new couple!

If you missed your chance to get in on any garden tours or house walks this year, here's your chance — and you won't even have to drive.
On Saturday, Sept. 12, Jean Labo, the owner of Serendipi-TEA Shoppe in Littleton has organized a tour of four private gardens, plus the Denver Botanic Garden. It all starts at 9 a.m. at the shop (5610 S. Curtice St., in Old Town Littleton north of Main St.) with tea and toast; then at 9:45, a van picks you up. Among the private gardens you'll gain entry to are those belonging to Colorado garden celeb and author Rob Proctor (to read more on his garden, click here) and DBG native plant curator Dan Johnson (more on his here). A boxed lunch is included as well; the van returns you to the tea shop at roughly 4 p.m. $75 pays for the whole thing — brekkies, lunch, admission to the Gardens, everythang except the driver's tip.
Jean has room for a few more on this tour, but call her asap at 303-904-2376 if you want in. Jean organized tours for 10 years before opening the shop, so this one should be pretty special. "The gardens are all different," she tells me, "eclectic, urban cottage, xeriscape …" Plus you'll get to explore the Denver Botanic Gardens' new renovations and visitor center.

Voice coach will.i.am carries Olympic Torch
Latest Stories
The Voice coach will.i.am has joined a host of stars carrying the Olympic Torch.
The Black Eyed Peas frontman was cheered on by thousands of people as he ran through Taunton carrying the flame.
The US-born music producer was a surprise addition to the line-up on day three of the relay.
will.i.am, 37, looked at ease in the warm weather as he jogged through the Somerset town centre.
The Metropolitan Police Torch Security Team, which runs alongside the torchbearer, kept a watchful eye on the cheering crowd.
will.i.am's torch was "kissed" by that held by 26-year-old tae kwon do instructor Chloe Lock, from Honiton, Devon, to light the flame.
Before he started running he was passed his mobile phone and was tweeting as he set off down the road under Union Flag bunting and surrounded by screaming fans. He also turned around to perform a short moonwalk to the delight of onlookers.
Speaking after his run, the music star said: "That was like a surreal moment.
"I got a little more nervous this time than all the things I have done."
Will.i.am said he had known he would be in the torch relay for almost a year, but was told to keep quiet.
His moonwalk was in honour of his friend Michael Jackson: "Me and Mike were really close and he would have been proud that I ran the torch, so I thought why not moonwalk it a couple of steps while running with the torch."
The star turned and waved and thanked everyone for their support and said he would not be selling his torch on eBay, like some torchbearers have done.
"In my house the decorum is gold and brown, so this is going to sit right on my wall," he said.
