As is our practice on Wednesday we will now sing O Canada , and we will be led by the hon. member for Saint John.
House of Commons Hansard #57 of the 36th Parliament, 1st Session. (The original version is on Parliament's site.) The word of the day was tribunal.


text: L'Amour en Fuite (Love on the Run) is presented in flashbacks from the previous four movies as Antoine Doinel (Jean-Pierre Léaud) meets up with people from his past. As the fifth and final film in the series, Antoine is over 30 years old and meets with his wife, Christine (Claude Jade), to sign the papers for their divorce. As it is the first no-fault divorce of its kind in France, the press surrounds them. In the crowd is also Antoine's past love, Colette (Marie-France Pisier), who is now a lawyer and in love with Xaiver the Librarian (Daniel Mesguich). Antoine is in love with Sabine (Dorothée), but she breaks things off when he ditches her to go see his son at the train station. While he is there, he impulsively joins Colette on a train ride where they recall their past and go through his recent autobiographical novel. Finally, Monsieur Lucien (Julien Bertheau) also re-enters Antoine's life and they visit his mother's grave at Montmartre.~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide

As you enter the portal, a tiny gesture of deference is required. You may be asked to remove your shoes or perhaps there might be a discrete sign asking you to switch off your cellphone. You may even be asked to wash your hands. This moment, shared with your companions, is usually unspoken. As you step in, you could be met with soaring music, or a cacophony of bells, but mostly with quiet meditative silence. As the gaze wanders around the richly adorned interior, you pause and reflect. Somewhere in the corner of your mind, you may have found strength, peace or inspiration. You have been fooled.
The act of making buildings is normally quite straightforward. A requirement for sheltered space must be met within the confines of the area available, the budget in hand and the manpower at disposal. Some plans are drawn up, some standards are consulted and contracts are awarded. In due time, the finished product is ready to be occupied and hopefully it should meet the functional requirements of the people who paid for it. However, the simplest and most naïve building has a characteristic that is normally not considered as part of the scope of work, and that is the manner in which it is perceived. Not only by those who use it, but also by people who simply view it from outside and occasionally visit the interior. Except in one very special type of building, where this characteristic is at the heart of the requirements. The Sacred Space.
The act of worship depends primarily on faith, but from the very beginning of human settlement and religious ritual, those in charge of organizing communities have known that the perception matters. The perception of the building that contains the object or iconography to be worshipped is as important to the experience as the object contained within. The earliest temples may have been simple shrines, but with time they have grown to be massive structures, intended to dwarf the individual and provide a fitting space for the content they embody. Going far beyond the simple requirements of congregation, access and keeping the weather out, these buildings are the strongest advertisement for the abstract idea within. Their self-similarity makes the idea recognizable at a distance and gives it potential to be transported to far reaches without necessarily having to contain a revered object - only the iconography is required. It is a system that all ATM users are familiar with - the symbol of the bank and its central most important requirement available anywhere you are.
Different faiths across the world have developed their own imagery as definitive symbols of the connotation they stand for. The churches of Europe, the mosques of the Middle East, the temples of South East Asia – wherever civilization has stood for a few centuries, there will be an idea captured by religious ritual. This ritual may vary from community to community, but the basic tenet is always the same - a gathering space that provides access to a symbol of faith.The techniques used by the builders of these spaces were as varied as the cultures they thrived in. The church builders strove for height and light, the mosque builders for expansiveness and quietude, and temple builders focused on mystery and embellishment. Each culture devised architectural details around religious rituals that remained frozen in time, requested as they were, by a higher authority. Every aspect of the building was meant to convey the presence of something extraordinary and as the means grew, so grew the art, the embellishment and the scale.
Architects were not always called upon to participate in the making of these spaces. In historic times, adherence to established principles was considered paramount. Creativity was required for sculpture and embellishment, but the basic layout was rarely changed, simply adjusted to fit to the area available. Increases in scale and development of construction technology slowly gave way to larger and taller buildings. However, until a hundred years ago, there would be scant variation of exterior form because so much of the perception depended upon the consistency of the exterior. The tiny details that would change were almost always based on site conditions, material availability and the funds available. A taller spire, a richer marble or a bigger forecourt was all that differentiated one religious building from the next.
The past century has changed all that. An increasingly secular, scientifically minded and technologically savvy global population is less dependent on religious ritual and more inclined to inwardly available spirituality. Conventional symbols of religionare still used to convey cultural significance and are understood by more people across the world. However, these symbols are no longer the heart of the community and people have found other, more consumerist symbols of culture. Countries have adopted more spectacular images to convey their identity, relying on natural resources or spectacular secular architecture to create the associations between place and people. The religious institution has lost its place as the center of power and the consistency of the building exteriors is not helping in this world of rapidly updated statuses and check-ins.
The eagerness of religious leaders to remain at the centre of public consciousness has led them to adopt many change-driven strategies. Some have become more tolerant, others have taken the opposite approach and become less so. Ideology apart, they all have one thing in common. A willingness to adopt newer approaches to exterior form to reflect the world they have to live in. Religious buildings in the past century have been radically experimental across most cultures. Technology-driven change has given rise to even more dramatic interpretations of form than have been seen in other architectural domains, public housing for instance. The twin central problems have still remained the same, though. How do you create a building that is revered from outside and how do you create a space within that can provide spiritual solace? Add to that the new requirement that the exterior must not rely on associated memory for recognition and you have a significant challenge. Thankfully, contemporary architects thrive on invention, not repetition. A great many contemporary religious buildings succeed on both these fronts and two specific ones - Temppeliaukio Church by Timo and Tuomo Suomalainen and Kamppi Chapel of Silence by K2S Architects (see left) - come to mind. They are both in Helsinki, World Design Capital 2012, and they are both churches.
It is by studying both of these buildings that we can get insight into the profane tricks that architects use to create sacred spaces. They adopt any manner of devious architectural effects to create a sense of awe-inspired wonder. Both these buildings are mysterious from the outside, more abstract sculpture than Arcadian temple. Both are approached from busy cityscapes and are entered through mostly discrete entrances where the visitor finds himself in a nondescript ante space. This space is of no particular architectural character, a fragment created from the left over space of the fundamental form within and the site periphery outside.
But this lack of drama is a hoax, the turn before the prestige. As one steps into the primordial form through an opaque door, a stunning transformation takes place. Voices are lowered, the weariness of the walking, the weight of the backpack, any thought that was playing on the mind, all disappear. Companions whisper into each other's ears and all that can be heard is the faint, hesitant clicking of cameras by the inevitable architectural students. The ones with religion at their heart take solace in a familiar symbol, abstracted almost beyond recognition, its importance betrayed only by the fact that all the furniture faces it. It is not even elevated from the main floor level and there are none of the usual attendant symbols to reinforce the religious intent of the space. There is no embellishment on the walls or the floors. It simply isn't needed because everyone is quietly looking up.
There are no windows at eye level and both buildings have saved their party piece for the roof. They appear magically suspended, ringed with light streaming in from all directions. There is no direct sunlight creating a harsh focus within, the effect is one of a continuous ribbon of equal intensity forming a halo. There is however, nothing to suggest this has been done with a religious notion at heart as the object of reverence has been almost sidelined in this pursuit of ambient light and purity of expression.
However, the most spectacular architectural trick is the conscious retreat from the everyday world to the revered space within. The complete absence of any stimuli to suggest the cacophony outside is crucial to creating the all-pervading hush. There are no clues to navigate the narrative, just a plethora of thematic relationships in the fundamental formulation of the space. The strength of the contemporary approach is in allowing us the individual interpretation of the sacred. In giving us the space for depth of contemplation unimaginable in any other space we use during our daily lives. It is a place where we may stop looking around us and perhaps look within to find strength, peace or inspiration.

you restated keb's point, and neither of you have really addressed mine.
I'm not disagreeing with that, but pointing out the hypocrisy, having a good reason to be hypocritical doesn't make it not hypocritical.
by habitual » Fri May 03, 2013 11:56 pmPeople that think this is happening because the studio wants to be PC couldn't be more wrong.
This is done to increase audience draw, it comes down to money, it's that simple.

You're the one who brought up the stereotype that black people are angry. If you 'just know people', then how do you know the angry ones are black? And if your stereotype were true, would we really want an angry Johnny Storm? I think not.
by Keb » Sat May 04, 2013 12:10 am
But there isn't a character like that. As I stated before, the market for superheroes is north American males, the majority of which are white. White characters are the norm, the standard. They have been since forever. When you have a black character in a book and he or she is not a very minor character, that character is going to be black for a reason or two. His or her skin color defines who he or she is. It's unfortunate but that's how things are.
Okay here's an example, in the recent Omega the Unknown series by Jonathan Letham and Farel Dalrymple, the main girl in the series is black. If they decided to make her white, people probably wouldn't care because it's irrelevant. However, if they decided to make John Stewart or the falcon white, it would be a big deal. Why? Because take away John Stewart's blackness and he's just like any GL. Take away Falcon's blackness and he's just some hero who talks to birds. Being black is what makes audiences (both white and black) identify with them. Their skin color makes them unique. People probably don't want them to lose that uniqueness.
Sorry but that's just the way I see it.
I don't think it's right to define someone by the color of his or her skin. The only difference between my skin and your skin is that I don't get sunburnt. At the end of the day, we both have brown skin. Black and white are just states of being people put themselves into.
by Keb » Sat May 04, 2013 12:13 am
Serious question: Are you an idiot?
by pastajoe » Sat May 04, 2013 12:19 am
See, that's the difference between us. I don't have to ask if you are, you've proven it with your comments.
by Keb » Sat May 04, 2013 12:23 am
Okay so you are an idiot. Good to know.
by xaraan » Sat May 04, 2013 12:37 am
(First of all, I don't think the Jon Stewart GL thing was a great example on your part)
But, while I was away, it occurred to me that most of the Walking Dead characters aren't defined by their skin color: black, white or asian. But if the TV Show came on and Michonne was a white lady, tell me their wouldn't be a shitstorm.
As for the other, you can't argue race matters AND race doesn't matter. Otherwise, why care how many characters of one color vs. another their are, why not let a white guy play Black Panther, etc. In fact, your Stewart example... the only thing about him you seemed to say made him different was his skin color (unless you meant something else by 'blackness'). Fact is, it seems to matter to everyone, unless it's "just a white dude".
by pastajoe » Sat May 04, 2013 12:41 am
It's sad that you have to resort to personal attacks because you lost the debate on the issue.
by Keb » Sat May 04, 2013 1:38 am
I'm not arguing race does and doesn't matter. I'm pointing out the reasons why people make it matter and I'm saying that it shouldn't.
Not familiar with Michonne or the Walking Dead but I remember the internet outrage when that white girl cosplayed as her. Also, this: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/11/2 ... -TV-Series
Black Panther being a white adopted kid changes the dynamic of the character a lot. Much of his character is rooted in the history of the kings of Wakanda. You could put a white kid, hell any adopted kid in there, it would change the dynamic of it. It's kind of a cool angle if you work it a certain way but it makes the character different. It introduces levels of complexity that involve the royal family and leadership of the nationthat also alter who the character is. Genealogy and African descent matter to that character and define who he is. The falcon or gl John Stewart are different. They are defined by their blackness but should not be confined to it. I'd welcome the change. Others may not because others cling to that blackness to identify the uniqueness of the characters.
Same goes for Johnny Storm. He's American, right? Isn't America representative of the diversity of family structure? Can a white American family not adopt a black boy? It's happened in reality. And besides, black Americans are just Americans. Does being a "black" or "African" American make him any less of an American? Johnny Storm is American, no matter what color he is.
by Keb » Sat May 04, 2013 1:49 am
What's next? "I am rubber, you are glue..."
Sorry but I find you incredibly close-minded and racist. I could try intelligent discourse with you but you've proven that you don't actually want to put any effort into it nor do you understand what I'm saying so why should I bother being respectful to you?
by S.F. Jude Terror » Sat May 04, 2013 3:26 am
by Thunderstorm » Sat May 04, 2013 5:51 amKeb, serious question. Wouldn't you rather see an existing Marvel character who is black get some exposure? An accurate character?
Instead of getting the reckless, hotheaded, womanizing character changed to black just to pander to a demographic.
I don't care nearly as much about this as Thor, but its still stupid. Just not AS stupid.
by nietoperz » Sat May 04, 2013 6:54 amI'd be interested to see if Sue is also played by a black actor.
by pastajoe » Sat May 04, 2013 7:57 am
Now I'm racist because I don't want a character changed from the way his creators intended. That's rich.
Local high school this year put on the musical, The Wiz. School happens to be predominantly white. Only one black girl tried out for Dorthy. The director chose a white girl because she was the most talented, and the black girl was offered another part.
The mother raised a big stink, contacted local news about it, had her daughter quit the show, tried to organize a boycott, and brought an NAACP rep to the school board meeting to complain. They argued that the school should have actively recruited more black participants. Nevermind that it was publicized at the school and had open auditions.
Although the original Wiz had a black girl as Dorthy who came from poor circumstances, why couldn't it be a poor white girl? Or do we stick with the original intent of the creators? There has to be some consistency.

MACON, Ga. – After notching his eighth double-double of the season to lead the Bisons to an upset of then league-leading Florida Gulf Coast, Lipscomb redshirt freshman Stephen Hurt has been named the Atlantic Sun Conference "Newcomer of the Week" for the fourth time this season as announced by the league.
Hurt was a dominant force against the Eagles scoring 20 points and adding 10 rebounds as Lipscomb downed FGCU 84-74. The Murfreesboro, Tenn. native also scored 12 points and added five boards against Stetson on Thursday night. On the week, Hurt shot 68 percent from the floor and scored 32 points in 42 minutes on the floor.
The 6-foot-10 big man leads the A-Sun and ranks second in the nation in total rebounds by a freshman center.
The Bisons head to Georgia this week for the final two road A-Sun contests of the season. Lipscomb plays at Mercer on Thursday night followed by a Saturday afternoon matinee at Kennesaw State.

If you think the pageant moms on Toddlers & Tiaras are intense, take a look at these women...
JERSEY ON ICE premieres Wednesday, December 12 at 10 PM ET/PT.
In New Jersey, figure skating not only takes grace, dedication, and hard work - it also takes a thick skin. Especially when the no-nonsense coaches, sisters Deana, Andrea and lifelong friend Michele, step on the ice at Floyd Hall Arena in Little Falls. For these loud-mouthed coaches, coming in second place means you're the first loser. With the first competition of the season coming up, they'll do whatever it takes to make sure their students are standing at the top of the podium, "Gettin the G" - that's Jersey speak for gold medals, baby!

Another Kennedy in the Senate?
Could Massachusetts get another Ted Kennedy in the Senate?
Ted Kennedy Jr., son of the late Massachusetts Sen. Ted Kennedy and brother of former Rhode Island Rep. Patrick Kennedy, would instantly be the leading Democratic candidate in the special election to replace Sen. John Kerry, assuming he's nominated as secretary of state.
Story Continued Below
Massachusetts insiders say Kennedy would be well-positioned to clear the field in a Democratic primary if he were to enter a special election to replace Kerry. But whether the investment banker chooses to run is still an open question.
"It's no secret that Ted is interested in entering politics after a long and successful career as a disability rights advocate and businessman," a Ted Kennedy friend and adviser told POLITICO's Playbook on Wednesday. "Numerous people in Massachusetts have reached out to him to ask him to consider running for office there, and if Sen. Kerry is nominated to a Cabinet post, it's fair to say that he will be giving this very serious consideration."
Kennedy's name is just one of a handful that comes up on the Democratic side for the Kerry seat: Massachusetts Reps. Michael Capuano, Ed Markey, William Keating and Stephen Lynch are often mentioned as potential candidates should Kerry be nominated to replace current Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Despite the Bay State's overwhelmingly Democratic politics, Kennedy would not be a shoo-in to win since current Sen. Scott Brown is also expected to run on the GOP side. Brown was defeated in the November 2012 election by Democrat Elizabeth Warren, who will take the reins in January.
But Democratic strategists in the state say Kennedy, the 51-year-old investment banker and lawyer who serves as the president of a New York-based financial-services company, would enter the race ahead of any of his Democratic challengers if he chose to do so.
"With Ted Kennedy, people will look at [him] as sort of a candidate that will clear the field," said Democratic strategist Scott Ferson. "I just don't know how real that prospect is."
Calls made by POLITICO on Wednesday to the Marwood Group, Kennedy's financial-services company, were not returned.
Massachusetts law calls for a special election no less than 145 days and no more than 160 days after a vacancy occurs, with a primary six weeks earlier. In this case, a special primary would most likely be held in spring 2013.
In the meantime, Gov. Deval Patrick can appoint a successor to Kerry, most likely a placeholder who pledges not to run in the special election. In 2009, Patrick appointed Paul Kirk, a longtime aide to Ted Kennedy who served until Brown took office.
One difficulty for Kennedy would be that he lives in Connecticut — in order to run for the seat, he'd need to reestablish residency in Massachusetts, where he was born and spent some time as a youth.
"I don't think there's any doubt that Ted has a long connection to the state of Massachusetts," said Democratic strategist Tad Devine.

주위를 맴도는 내가 궁금해~
How Do You Win?
~Hiatus~ ~Doesnt come online a lot~ ~How're you all doing?~ ~Daily checkup~
There's so many reasons I MUST watch him live! First off Jin Akanishi's an awesome singer. I mean, unlike so many other japanese singers, his mv's are all so MODERN and REALISTIC, something I'd call 'cool'. (please don't take offense and don't think ALL japanese singers' mv's are fake and dull) He's so DIFFERENT, and he's someone I always look up to- his English is so good even though he's native japanese. His songs are so Westernized, it's really cool to see how his style is so different from other jpop singers. He's obviously someone who puts a lot of effort into his songs. I want to see him live..... as a fan, I want to see him in reality- it would be so cool! And I want to see how he sings in real life, as well. It'd be really cool to see him singing right in front of me- maybe I'd be in the back, but it's really like a dream come true that there's only about a hundred feet distance between us, and that I actually get to see him! It's quite hard to explain,
Preferred city: 3/15 New York/Best Buy Theater
inu x boku ss <3
los angeles and I want to see him because I love him!!!!!
living as a california bum :)
(Jin akanishi
seems like a nice person to meet
especially LIVE)<------------------------------haiku fail lol
Answer: The reason why i would like to watch him LIVE is beacuse although i know that he will not see me, i would want to have at least a chance on watching him try his hardest for his fans and also because i like how his voice sounds so playful and at the same time really good. if i don't win then its okay because someone else thats more of a hardcore fan would take my place and cheer for the same person but different reasons.
Preferred City: 3/9 Los Angeles, CA Club Nokia
one piece~ :3
-Why you would like to watch him LIVE in concert
I haven't really been to a concert yet (I mean, who can afford those things sometimes, right? T_T), and Jin's cute. Famous. And who wouldn't want to watch him?
-Preferred city for the LIVE concert
Los Angeles/Nokia Center
Good luck to everyone! :3
The reason why I would like to watch Jin Akanishi LIVE is because I am simply a huge fan of him. I have always wanted to see him live! His music is something I just can't get enough of. Although I haven't been following many Japanese artistes lately, the music that I always have with me are his songs. It would be really really really awesome if I could see him live.
My preferred city would be Los Angeles at Club Nokia.
I would love tickets to the New York/Best Buy Theater showing, why? Because I love Jin Akanishi and is new wife Meisa! I want to wish him the best in his marriage and his soon to be born child. I also love anything asian period, haha, my friends say I'm obsessed but i really just love the culture and the language, it expresses everything in ways english cannot. If push comes to shove i may just buy tickets for me and my friend anyways! It will be the perfect spring break gift too! Also its me and my friends birthday the 30th! how could i forget that
Dang it, no houston this time Shoot!
Hello! I would like to see Akanishi Jin LIVE because listening to his voice through a computer just doesn't do justice. I also want to meet other Akanishi fans and make friends while bonding over Jin's great music I also want to write about my experience and share with those who are unable to attend.
My preferred city is San Francisco/The Warfield.
Thank you Akanishi's staff and Crunchyroll for this amazing opportunity!
wow wow wubbzy...kawaii desu ne?
The reason why I want to see Jin is because I want to see how much he has improved on his English and also as a solo artist. His mv's make me drool... Expecially his recent song "Sun Burns Down". I would love to see him in concert with my boyfriend to show him that Jin Akanishi isn't just another Asian singer I have a crush on. Jin's music make me feel alive and happy. His concert in San Francisco is on March 17th which is a day before my actual birthday. Cruchyroll this will be the best present I receive this year and also March 17 is also mine and my boyfriends 10th month anniversary.
San Francisco, CA The Warfield.

My index finger hurts because of the hand sewing, but happily my second doll is done after so many experimental trials and a lot of hours of intense labor. My inspiration came from Tilda Doll Studio Book. I draft all the patterns for this project, including the body. She is a little bigger than the first one. My doll is 34 inches tall and wears gloves this time. I used the remnants from my previous project Ivory and Gold for her dress and coat.

The leadership team of the Atlas Copco Power Technique business area has presented a strategic vision outlining how mega-trends such as digitalisation and the construction of smart cities will be powered by cleaner and more connected energy source technologies.
The scenario left by the flooding and mudslides was devastating caused by 'Fenonemo del Niño' in the Peruvian coast. The emergency asked for a quick response and Atlas Copco replied with technology, technical knowledge and enthusiastic solidarity from their workers.
Atlas Copco has combined its PACE technology with the legendary HardHat polyethylene canopy on the updated XATS 138 single-axle portable compressor. The new design offers construction contractors and rental fleet operators a compelling mix of toughness of versatility.
Every autumn thousands of people visit the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir (Neasden temple) in London to celebrate Diwali, the Hindu 'Festival of Light'. This year the festival organisers chose Atlas Copco's LED HiLight towers to light up the walkways, pavements and areas around the temple.
We are celebrating our first sales of the HB 10000 hydraulic breaker in Germany. The company Mendiger Basalt has been using an HB 10000 for gravel extraction since January 2016 – and thanks to its high levels of efficiency and performance – now considers it to be a commercial alternative to blasting.

Health officials report danger of West Nile Virus
PLYMOUTH — Marshall County Health Officials announced that mosquitoes captured in Marshall County have tested positive for West Nile Virus. West Nile virus has been detected in mosquitoes in 32 counties across the state.
"As people are out enjoying the warm weather, I want them to be aware of this risk for infection with West Nile virus from mosquitoes, and I strongly recommend they take the simple precautions necessary to protect themselves," said Dr. Byron Holm, Marshall County Health Officer.
The virus usually results in a mild illness known as West Nile fever, which can cause fever, headache, body aches, swollen lymph glands, or a rash. However, a small number of individuals can develop a more severe form of the disease with encephalitis or meningitis and other neurological syndromes, including flaccid muscle paralysis.
"Mosquito-transmitted diseases commonly occur in August and September, when mosquitoes are more active because of hot weather conditions, so Hoosiers should take the proper precautions to prevent being bitten," said Dr. Holm.
"West Nile virus is potentially a very serious disease. The good news is it is also preventable."
Dr. Holm urges county residents to take the following protective steps when they are outdoors to help prevent West Nile and other mosquito borne disease:
• Avoid being outdoors during prime mosquito biting times, dusk to dawn, when possible.
• Apply insect repellent containing DEET, picaradin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus to clothes and exposed skin.
• Wear long-sleeved shirts and pants.
The Health Department is also asking residents to take steps to rid their properties of potential mosquito breeding grounds:
• Repair failed septic systems.
• Keep grass cut short and shrubbery trimmed.
• Dispose of old tires, tin cans, plastic containers, ceramic pots or other unused containers that can hold water.
• Every week, empty and clean any containers used to hold water.
• Clean clogged roof gutters, particularly if leaves tend to plug up the drains.
• Aerate ornamental pools, or stock them with predatory fish.

Brownie Mosaic Cheesecake
I've been on quite the cheesecake binge as of late, I really can't explain it. Granted, cheesecake is my favorite dessert and one of my favorite foods, but even then. In the last month, I've made both salted caramel cheesecake bars and oreo cheesecake bars, and I've failed to blog about either one of them. And in between, there has been many a cheesecake from this and that bakery. Now though, in honor of Easter (not that I actually celebrate Easter, I just wanted to justify baking yet another cheesecake ;) ), I bring you Brown Eyed Baker's Brownie Mosaic Cheesecake!! The name should really say it all. I mean c'mon, cheesecake with brownies mixed in? You've seen my post on brownies with cheesecake mixed in, an all-time favorite in our house. So, this is basically the inverse, and it is nothing but decadent, delightful, sublime to the point of inducing a trance. Yes, really-it is all that. Just use the best quality ingredients possible. Actually, after having baked so many cheesecakes at home, I have become much less inclined to eat them from bakeries. So maybe, maybe making them at home has turned out to be a good thing, no?
This recipe is actually very simple, in spite of comprising 4 spearate steps. The brownies are actually the easiest I've made, coming together in just one bowl. They are excellent, without a doubt, though next time I would try Ina's brownies-by far the most fudgy, most dense brownies to date (the ones I used in the cheesecake brownies in fact).
One word: this cheesecake really is best cold, with its ganache topping and the fudgy brownies, unlike most other cheesecakes, which taste best at room temperature.
Brownie Mosaic Cheesecake (slightly adapted from Brown Eyed Baker):
Step 1-Brownies:
4 oz. unsweetened chocolate
3/4 cup butter (or 1.5 sticks)
1 and 3/4 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup flour
Preheat oven to 325F. Prepare a 9 x 13 inch baking pan with foil and grease.
Microwave butter and chocolate on 50% power until butter in completely melted (about 2 minutes in my microwave). Stir the chocolate vigorously until melted. Stir in sugar and vanilla. Then, blend in the eggs, followed by the flour and salt. Spread brownie batter into prepared pan.
Bake brownies for 30-35 minutes, but start checking after 25 minutes (mine were done in about 28). A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with fudgy crumbs. Cool them completely. Then, cut them into 3/4 to 1 inch squares, and set aside 2 cups of the squares for the cheesecake. Enjoy the rest :)
Step 2-Crust:
*Note-I made, and highly recommend double the crust. I'm giving the proportions for double below, but feel free to half the recipe if you prefer.
10 oz. finely ground oreos (I actually used 365 brand chocolate sandwich cookies)
10 tbsp. melted unsalted butter
3 tbsp. granulated sugar(I significantly cut down since the cookies are very sweet)
1/4 tsp. salt
Combine all ingredients and press onto the bottom of and 1" up the sides of a 10" springform pan. Fill immediately, or set in the fridge for upto 2 hours.
Step 3-Cheesecake:
3 8 oz. packages cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1 tsp. vanilla
Make sure oven is preheated. Beat cream cheese and sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 4-5 minutes. Then add vanilla. Start adding the eggs on low speed, one at a time, and beat until just combined. Scrape the bowl in-between as needed.
Gently fold in the brownie cubes into the batter, and pour batter on top of oreo crust in the springform pan. Bake in the oven with a water bath for about 55 minutes, until the cheesecake is set 3" from center, but still jiggles in the middle when shaken. Let it cool completely.
Step 4-Ganache Topping
3 oz. bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
4 tbsp. unsalted butter (or 1/2 stick)
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 tbsp. powdered sugar
Place chopped chocolate in medium-sized bowl. Scald butter and cream in microwave for 1 minute on high, watching carefully to make sure they don't boil over. Pour cream mixture over chocolate in bowl, and stir vigorously until chocolate is melted. Whisk in vanilla and sugar until thoroughly combined. Pour warm ganache over cool cheesecake. Chill cheesecake until serving time.

A recent poll indicates that corporal punishment is still being used in schools nationwide, despite being banned by the Ministry of Education, according to the Humanistic Education Foundation.
The poll also discovered that teachers have been forbidding recess to students as another disciplinary method, the foundation said.
According to the foundation's poll, more than 90 percent of the elementary schools across the five special municipalities have dealt out some form of corporal punishment, ranging from using rulers to strike palms to teachers demanding that children leapfrog jump or squat.
Taipei has the highest ratio of physical disciplinary methods employed in elementary schools.
Greater Tainan has the highest incidence of junior-high school discipline, while New Taipei City (新北市) had the highest levels of verbal violence in both junior-high schools and elementary schools, the foundation said.
The poll showed over 78.7 percent of teachers in Greater Tainan prevented school children from going on recess, 67.4 percent in Greater Taichung, 65 percent in Greater Kaohsiung, 61 percent in Taipei City and 55.6 percent in New Taipei City.
Between 30 and 40 percent of junior-high school students have also experienced being grounded from recess in the five special municipalities, while some elementary-school children have been restricted from going on recess for an entire month.
Some have been restricted from talking with other students or going to the restroom, the foundation said.
Recess must be taken
The foundation asked bureau of education heads across all municipalities to make clear in writing that teachers could not prevent students from taking recess or single them out by putting them in a special seat.
With the 12-year national education program being implemented next year, the foundation also listed examinations as part of its questionnaire.
The questionnaire found that over 36.8 percent of junior-high school pupils in New Taipei City — the municipality with the highest ratio in this regard — were required to take a morning exam during the period that had been allotted for self-study.
The foundation said that more than 88 percent of schools abuse security checks and were making large-scale searches of students' persons and property, despite an amendment to the Education Basic Act (教育基本法) banning physical punishment ("Observations on the law governing educators' teaching and punishing of students as defined and implemented by schools": 學校訂定與實施教師輔導與管教學生辦法注意事項), which staes that there must be a particular reason if schools want to search students' bags.
In response, education bureau heads in each municipality cast doubt over the results of the questionnaire.
Greater Kaohsiung Bureau of Education Secretary-General Tai Shu-fen (戴淑芬) said the bureau needed to examine the methodology behind the foundation's statistics and under what circumstances the poll was conducted before commenting.
New Taipei City Bureau of Education Secretary-General Lin Teng-chiao (林騰蛟) said that while teachers delaying lesson finish times was acceptable, forbidding students from visiting the restroom was an abuse of disciplinary powers. Lin added that he was shocked at the poll's results.
Not physical discipline
However, another bureau official, Ou Jen-hao (歐人豪), said that more than 90 percent of students reported in the bureau's own polls said that they had not been punished by physical means.
Greater Tainan Bureau of Education Secretary-General Cheng Pang-chen (鄭邦鎮) also said the way the poll was conducted — exit-poll-style questioning by randomly interviewing students at the school gates — would indicate that its results were questionable.

Emerging artist in the Americana music scene and award winning banjoist and songwriter, Bailey Cooke showcases her old-timey Americana songs fused with a contemporary flair on Friday, February 22nd in the newly renovated and authentic Boiler Room of the Hawley Silk Mill.
Bailey Cooke came from a long line of cotton mill workers out of the piedmont area of North Carolina and spent her college years following around older folks to fiddler's conventions. Eventually, Cooke found her place in Nashville and settled there until she was uprooted by the 2010 flood – a moment which is revisited in her songs. Bailey does her best to keep country traditions thriving while adding in new innovative musical thought to create a style all her own.
These efforts result in complex and rich sound reminiscent of artists like Gillian Welch, Lucinda Williams and Sheryl Crow. Bailey has won banjo contests at fiddler's conventions all over the South and keeps history an avid part of her musical creativity, as she continues to write and perform.
This show and many others showcased in and around the Hawley Silk Mill are hosted by Harmony Presents. Tickets may be purchased at
www.silkmillharmony.comfor$16 in advance online or at the door for $20. Purchasing tickets in advance online also gets ticket holders 20 percent off their bill at Glass Wine Bar and Bistro on the day of the show. Show starts at 7:30 p.m. and doors are at 7:15. Call (570) 588-8077 for questions or help purchasing tickets online.

I am active in a number of conservation issues including the promotion of low impact development, rain gardens, and rainwater harvesting.

I am currently writing a guide for rainwater harvesting around the home and garden.
Individuals and organizations interested in capturing and using rainwater.
We are looking for a simple, distinct image to brand our work with a rainwater harvest guide. We need something that works nicely for a logo on web pages, literature, articles, perhaps even as an identifier on a book image. The intent is to have a visual identifier on most everything that we do.
We would like an image that works in color or in B&W and with various sizes ranging from the bottom of a Power Point slide to a business card.
We are predisposed to using a raindrop and something to represent "harvest" (like a funnel or rain barrel) The images that are part of the concept are Rain, Catching, Holding, and using (ie. drip irrigation).
We do not have a absolute preconception so feel free to offer something new.
We do want the image to convey the subject idea.

Gratitudeprevious next
Also: Appreciation, Thankfulness
Gratitude is the quality of being thankful and showing appreciation. It is a mindful acknowledgment of all that we have been given. When we focus on the abundance in our lives, we discover a greater capacity for generosity, cheerfulness, and contentment.
Expressing gratitude is a rewarding habit that affirms the grace of the giver. Gratitude opens our hearts, encourages us to savor each gift that comes our way, and magically frees us from jealously guarding our possessions. It lets us celebrate today rather than waiting for the next level of accomplishment or wealth. It is a reminder that one can always find reason to be glad.

We had mentioned the prototype of iControlPad more than a couple months ago, but it has popped up again looking a little bit more finalized and a lot BIGGER. Back in May, I had compared the original model to a PSP, but I think this edition looks more like the Sega Game Gear from years back. This thing is huge!
It promises to be glossier in the final production model and hopefully it'll look a little bit nicer. Shouldn't it look flush with the iPhone? At least steal some of the iPhone's design cues! I will reserve my excitement and temper my expectations until I see the final product. Because even though it is kind of ugly, it might take iPhone gaming to another level.

Graf and Halejian Pace Yale In Scoring
Greenville, S.C. - The Yale women's basketball team twice got within a point after trailing by eight points in the second half, but Furman used a late spurt of four straight points to hold on for a 66-61 win on Wednesday night.
Yale (3-4) led 38-34 with 16:42 to play following a jumper by Sarah Halejian, but Furman responded with a 13-1 run over a span of 3:27 to build an eight point lead. Sarah Durdaller scored five straight to give Furman the lead, before Whitney Bunn closed the run out with three straight points to make it 47-39 with 13:01 to play.
The teams traded baskets on the next five possessions before four straight points by Brigid Morrissey gave Furman (2-4) a 54-46 lead. Janna Graf responded with a steal and layup on back-to-back possessions to start a 9-2 spurt by Yale. Following a pair of Paladins free throws Nyasha Sarju hit a three-pointer and after a defensive stop, Halejian hit a pair of foul shots to get the Bulldogs within 56-55 with 5:40 to play.
The Paladins pushed their lead back to five points before Yale mounted one last charge. The Bulldogs' defense pitched a shutout over the next 3:24 and a Graf layup was followed by foul shots from Amanda Tyson and Hayden Latham in that span to get Yale within 60-59 with 1:06 remaining.
Furman held off the rally with a layup from Brittany Hodges and two foul shots by Morrissey to push the lead to five points and provide enough cushion for the win.
The teams played a close first half, but Yale took its largest lead at 18-10 after consecutive baskets by Meredith Boardman and Meghan McIntyre. After Furman trimmed the lead to two points, but Zenab Keita and Lena Munzer combined for five straight to push the lead back to seven points.
Furman tied the score at 28-28 with seven straight points, capped by a three-pointer from Allison Beasley, before Halejian hit two foul shots to give Yale a two-point lead at the break.
Halejian narrowly missed a second straight 20-point game and finished with 19 points, five rebounds and four steals. Graf turned in a solid all-around game with 12 points on 6-of-8 shooting, with seven rebounds and three steals. Latham, playing in her hometown, scored eight points with four rebounds and five assists. The Bulldogs held a 43-35 advantage on the glass.
Brittany Hodges posted a double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds, while Shianne Goodwin added 12 points off the bench. Holli Wilkins and Whitney Bunn each chipped in with 11 points. The Paladins shot a blistering 56.5 percent from the field after halftime to finish at 40.4 percent for the game. Furman was also 17-of-19 at the foul line, while Yale was just 9-of-15.
The Bulldogs are off until Dec. 4, when they return to John J. Lee Amphitheater to host Bryant. Tipoff is set for 5 p.m.

ROCK HILL, SC (WBTV) - Dr. Ronal King started feeding people a Thanksgiving meal 40 years ago. Since then, his organization, "Feed the Hungry" has grown into a group that feeds more than 50,000 people in dozens of counties in North and South Carolina.
This year though, he says the money is short for the upcoming holiday meal.
Last Friday, his group picked up 200 frozen turkeys but there are more than 2,300 that he doesn't have the funds to pay for.
Without the rest of the turkeys, Dr. King says he can hardly make a dent in feeding those who need it the most.
He's asking for monetary donations to his organization to help cover the cost.
If you're interested in helping, you can send checks to "Feed The Hungry" P.O. Box 10042 Rock Hill, SC 29731.

Comme un Coquelicot

Montpellier, France
I've been wanting to make this skirt from Burda magazine since I saw it, but I wasn't too sure about the style, I didn't know what I would pair it with. And then I thought I could make a cute outfit with this bolero! I used a lutterloh pattern as a basis.
I bought this red wool on sale, it's perfect, except that it wasn't easy to gather because it was too thick… I had to take in the side seams too.
I made the bridles (?) for the buttons for the first time, it's very easy and so cute!
The whole outfit makes me think of a winter poppy!
Material Notes
wool, zipper, buttons.

Hello! Thank you :) you can find them on the right of the page : the bolero pattern is the one I made, it is free (but not professionnal), and the skirt pattern is from Burda Magazine 10/2010, if you don't have the magazine you can buy it online. Both links are on this page.

Thanks! Yes the bolero is a small size, I'd say even 36… But i think you can find a technique that explains how to grade a pattern. Good luck!
(by the way the pattern is available…)

This is such a sparkling bright color and you look so elegant in red. I am only ever able to wear that true red of your wool. However, given the fact that I am easily two of you through the waistline, your outfit is safe from this predatory granny from Tennessee. Most cordially, nehmah

1. You said your team has had the McLouth game circled on their calendars. Have you seen a difference in practice this week because of that?
Yes, the boys know that a league title is on the line and have approached practice with a business like attitude. My seniors have taken an big role in creating this approach. This group of seniors has not beaten McLouth, and they really want this one bad.
2. How much of a gauge do you have on McLouth since they haven't played a league game yet?
We know they are a good team with lots of skill player threats regardless of who they have played. That being said, they have had a tough schedule thus far and we have emphasized that to our team.
3. How important would it be to get your fourth win of the season this early after finishing with four wins all of last season?
Very important. The boys have displayed excellent commitment to improving on our season last year throughout the offseason and so far this season.
It goes a long way in building a program when the boys see results for all their hard work.
4. Will you face different challenges against McLouth compared to your first four opponents?
Yes, they put up a lot of points and passing yards against us last year, and we will have to be able to stop the big play if we want to win this game.
5. Is this the win you need to be able to win the league?
With the way the league is playing out, we must win every league game to get a league title or at least a share of the title.

I searched for these answeres cuz I have a feeling they have been asked before, but couldn't find them. So here goes nothin-
Can we use Flash in our signatures?
Would AO ever consider letting us use flash for our avatars or our signatures?
I've seen other sites allow it for the avatar at least, but I can see how it could cause problems.

"I have myself a large share of malicious Slander"
When James Warren wrote to Elbridge Gerry on 20 July 1788, the two political allies were digesting the legal ratification of the new U.S. Constitution, which they had opposed.
Warren and his wife Mercy had just moved out of the mansion in Milton where Gov. Thomas Hutchinson had lived before the war. Gerry was living on the Cambridge estate confiscated from Lt. Gov. Thomas Oliver.
That's the context for the Massachusetts Historical Society's newly acquired letter, which Warren started by commiserating with Gerry about the political attacks on him. Soon, however, he was complaining about his own troubles:
Neither the stationing of Centries, or the malicious wishes & Obliquy of the federals will ever prevent my visiting my friend at Cambridge when it is in my power. No Man, or at least very few, can at this day possess that invaluable Treasure Mens Conscia recti [from Virgil, "a mind aware of what is right"] as I firmly beleive you do without being marked by detraction & Ill nature.Warren had just sold his Milton mansion to Patrick Jeffrey, estranged husband of Mary Wilkes Hayley. I can't identify the "Mr. Lee" whom Warren wrote about.
I have myself a large share of malicious Slander which I never deserved from this Country I heartily despise it. my spirits shall never be affected by it, & among the numerous resources of Consolation it certainly is no inconsiderable one to be associated with a Man who I so much Esteem & with whom I have been associated in the most Zealous & faithful services to this Country. they now wish us to be Bankcrupt, & despondent, or they would not spread such ill founded rumours. they gratify their Malice instead of exerciscing those feelings which pity if not gratitude should Excite on such an occasion if true.
No Man was ever persecuted with such inveterate Malice as I am. it follows me in every step I take. an Instance has lately occurred in which the public certainly had no Concern, but more Noise has been made about my takeing of a few Lockes from Milton House, than would have been made if another Man had burned it[.] it is so in every thing, & I suppose will be so for the same reason it has been so. I will quit this subject after giveing you one anecdote, which I think sufficient to silence Malevolence itself. I went to his Agent & Informed him that there were a variety of Articles which would be very Convenient to Mr Lee, that he should have the preference at a moderate price if he Inclined to have them, & afterwards received this surly answer, that he would not lay out a Shillings there, & now Complains that they are taken away.—
(we are now to see the Operation of the New Constitution with all its splendid Advantages. you must prepare yourself for takeing a part in the Execution in one House or the other. Policy will prevail over Malevolence, & make your Election certain.) and your Acceptance I think must be as certain as your Election, & will be a Choice only of the least evil. I have much to say to you on this & other subjects, which I design to do ere long viva voce in the mean time give my great regards to the federal Lady & believe me to be your Friend &c &c
Trying to milk this letter for further gossip, I note Warren's phrase "give my great regards to the federal Lady." Did that refer to Gerry's wife Ann, and does that mean she favored the Constitution?
In any event, as Warren counseled, Gerry did participate in the new federal government as a member of the first two Congresses, opposing George Washington's administration; then as a diplomat under John Adams; and finally as Vice President under James Madison. He also slipped in a term as Massachusetts governor. Ann Gerry (1763-1849), nineteen years younger than her husband, was the last surviving widow of a signer of the Declaration of Independence.

Low birth weight is most often caused by being born too early (premature birth). That means before 37 weeks of pregnancy. A premature baby has less time in the mother's womb (uterus) to grow and gain weight. Much of a baby's weight is gained during the last weeks of pregnancy.
Another cause of low birth weight is a condition called intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). This occurs when a baby does not grow well during pregnancy. It may be because of problems with the placenta, the mother's health, or the baby's health. Babies can have IUGR and be:
Your healthcare provider may also use fetal ultrasound to check your baby's growth and development. Ultrasound uses sound waves to create a picture of your fetus. It is a more accurate than checking fundal height. Measurements can be taken of your baby's head, belly (abdomen), and upper leg bone (femur). These measurements are used to estimate his or her weight.
Babies are weighed within the first few hours after birth. The weight is compared against the number of weeks of pregnancy (gestational age). If your baby weighs less than 2,500 grams (5 pounds, 8 ounces), he or she has a low birth weight. Babies weighing less than 1,500 grams (3 pounds, 5 ounces) at birth are considered very low birth weight. Babies who weigh less than 1,000 grams (2 pounds, 3 ounces) are extremely low birth weight.
Treatment will depend on your child's symptoms, age, and general health. It will also depend on how severe the condition is.
Treatment for low birth weight often includes:
How well a baby with low birth weight does depends largely on how much the baby weighs at birth. Babies who weigh less than 1 pound, 1.5 ounces (500 grams) have the most problems and are much less likely to survive.
Low-birth-weight babies typically "catch up" in physical growth if they have no other complications. Babies may need to have special follow-up healthcare programs.
Low-birth-weight babies often have problems. The baby's tiny body is not as strong as a baby of normal birth weight. He or she may have a harder time eating, gaining weight, and fighting infection. Low-birth-weight babies often have a hard time staying warm because they don't have much fat on their bodies.
Babies that are born premature often have complications. It is sometimes hard to tell if the problems are because they were born early, or because they are so small. In general, the lower the birth weight, the greater the risk for complications. The following are some of the common problems of low-birth-weight babies:
Babies with very low birth weight are at risk for long-term complications and disability. Long-term complications may include:
Talk with your baby's healthcare provider for information about your baby's risks for complications.
More babies are surviving even though they are born early and are very small. This is because of advances in the care of sick and premature babies. But preventing preterm births is one of the best ways to prevent babies born with low birth weight.
Regular prenatal care is the best way to prevent preterm births and low-birth-weight babies. At prenatal visits, the healthcare provider will check the health of you and your fetus. It is important to:

Why 'Made in China' Is No Longer Cheap
As the economy continues to cool and wages continue to rise in China, manufacturers are feeling the squeeze. The WSJ's Yun-Hee Kim speaks with Stanley Szeto, CEO of garment maker Lever Style, about why he's shifting more production out of China and into Vietnam and India.

Porirua man jailed for paua poaching at Makara and Pukerua Bay
Press Release: Ministry For Primary Industries
A 48 year-old Porirua man received a prison sentence in the Wellington District Court yesterday for paua poaching.
Pele Pele Lemalu was sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment after he was caught by fishery officers in two separate incidents with a combined total of more than 90 times the daily legal limit of paua. He was also prohibited from fishing for three years, and an associate's vehicle together with all dive gear was forfeited.
In February 2012, Mr Lemalu was caught at Makara Beach with his associate Aaron Karatiana collecting paua. After inspecting some packs, fishery officers found a total of 635 shucked paua and five paua still in their shells. Of the 640 paua taken, 117 were undersized. Mr Karatiana was sentenced in September 2012, to four months' home detention.
In the second incident in June 2012, Mr Lemalu was caught at Pukerua Bay with his associate Neru Kome taking paua from an area where only handlines are permitted. The men had been night diving with a dive torch and were stopped by fishery officers in their vehicle around midnight. Upon inspection of the vehicle, 324 paua were found, all of which were undersize. Mr Kome was sentenced in August 2012, to three months and three weeks home detention.
In both incidents, Mr Lemalu had intended to sell his catch.
Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) Wellington District Compliance Manager Mike Green, says that this sentence will hopefully act as a deterrent to those who choose to benefit from their illegal and harmful actions.
"This sentence shows that you can receive prison time for committing serious fisheries offences," says Mr Green.
"Poachers not only risk fish stocks but they are stealing from their communities and making it harder for compliant recreational fishers to enjoy fishing activities by taking more than their legal entitlement and benefitting from it."
Under the Fisheries Act 1996 the maximum penalties for selling your recreational catch to obtain a benefit is five years' imprisonment and/or a $250,000 fine.
The national paua limit is ten paua per person per day. Paua must be a minimum of 125 millimetres nationally (excluding some areas in the Taranaki region).
"Poaching seriously compromises New Zealand's fish stocks and undermines the important work being done to ensure their sustainability.
"Our fishery officers are entrusted with protecting our fish stocks. We also greatly appreciate the support of the community in reporting poachers and those who break the rules. If you see people breaking the fishing rules we want to know about it."
Fishery officers ask the public to report any suspicious activity in our fisheries by phoning 0800 4 POACHER (0800 476 224). All calls are kept confidential.
For further information about recreational fishing limits visit www.fish.govt.nz
You can also take advantage of the free mobile services. Text 'app' to 9889 to download the New Zealand fishing rules smartphone app. Or text the name of the species you are fishing for (e.g. crayfish, paua) to 9889 and you'll receive the size and limit number by return text. Texts are free.

I can count on one hand the number of times I've been out to eat in Fall River. It's a city I tend to drive through, not stop off in.
I can count on one hand the number of times I've been out to eat in Fall River. It's a city I tend to drive through, not stop off in.
But there are a growing number of restaurants in the city that have piqued my interest, so last week, I decided to try one of them.
Red Cedar is one of a number of new businesses housed in the redeveloped Quaker Fabric mill, now known as Commonwealth Landing.
Inside the medium-sized restaurant, which opened earlier this fall, is all exposed brick walls, soaring ceilings, and enormous — and gorgeous — windows.
When Dan and I got there shortly after 7 p.m., the restaurant was packed, with many people out celebrating the impending holidays, but we were quickly shown to a table on the far side of a small wall dividing the main dining area from the bar.
A waitress appeared just as quickly to take our drink order — a glass of Norton Malbec ($6.50) for me, and a 23-ounce Bud Light ($4.75) for Dan — and to leave us with menus.
For starters, the wood-braised calamari ($12) jumped out at both Dan and me right away, so that was an easy appetizer pick. Had I spent even a minute longer with the menu I probably would have ordered the stuffed jalapenos ($8.50), but instead went with the roasted mushrooms ($9).
The mushrooms, six of them, came out first: small button mushrooms crowned with a scoop of stuffing, served in a round casserole dish.
The mushrooms had been roasted until they were tender and fully of woodsy flavor. According to the menu, the stuffing had both scallops and shrimp in it, but neither was easily discernible. However, the stuffing was still moist and well seasoned, a pleasant addition to the mushrooms.
There was a slight delay before we received our second appetizer — our waitress explained that the kitchen was a little backed up — but the spacing actually allowed us to savor each dish a bit more.
The calamari wasn't prepared in the typical breaded-and-fried fashion, but instead had been braised in a tomato-fennel sauce, leaving the rings very tender and full of flavor.
The sauce itself was very bright and fresh, and tasted even better when allowed to soak into one of the four toast points that came with the dish.
For our entrees, Dan decided on the chicken parm ($14.50), a favorite of his, while I decided to splurge on the Cedar casserole ($24), a mix of lobster, crab, scallops and shrimp roasted in a butter-based sauce.
In Dan's meal, the chicken breast had been pounded very thin, resulting in a lot of breading with every bite of chicken. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but also not to my taste. (The chicken, what you could taste of it, was very tender.)
The tomato sauce was good, but not a stand-out, so all in all, the chicken parm was a little ho-hum.
My entree, on the other hand, was by far the best thing we ordered. The seafood mix came served not in a casserole dish, but on a plate along with rice and a roasted vegetable mix.
Each type of seafood — lobster, crab, scallops, shrimp — was generously represented and cooked perfectly to a tender sweetness. The light butter sauce — described on the restaurant's menu as a scampi sauce — really allowed the flavors of the seafood to shine in a way a heavier cream sauce would not have.
And the crumb topping, far from an overpowering layer, was more of a sprinkle here and there, just enough to add some texture.
The rice was nicely flavored, and the green bean and carrot mix roasted to the point of tender crispness, just the way I like it.
Both of our entrees also came with small house salads, which were good versions of the standard restaurant salad.
In the spirit of moderate indulgence, we decided to split a dessert. Sadly, they were out of the death-by-chocolate cake ($7.50), which would have been a clear winner, so we went with the "Italiano" ($7) instead, a vanilla cake with layers of cannoli cream. I also ordered a glass of Sambuca ($5.50), because I love it and almost never have it.
The cake, sadly, was a bit of a disappointment. It was dry and dense, and the cannoli cream was very cold, and thus much harder than I would have liked. It was also served atop a strange mix of raspberry and caramel sauces, which didn't seem to go together all that well.
The glass of Sambuca was delicious, although with the incredibly generous pour they gave me, I couldn't come close to finishing it.
Not including tip or drinks, our bill came to $73.
Red Cedar makes great use of the former mill space, and — at least judging from the night we were there — is already attracting a good-sized crowd.
The menu had a number of delicious-sounding entrees, including the Red Cedar cheddar meatloaf ($14.50) and the wood-roasted scrod ($17), as well as a selection of pizzas ($10-$18) cooked in the wood-fired oven.
Vegetarians have a number of options at the restaurant, including a selection of salads and the aforementioned pizzas.
Although the restaurant has a casual-yet-hip feel, its prices start to push it into the special-occasion-only realm.
I really loved my entree, and the calamari appetizer was another high point in our meal, so I will be interested to see how this restaurant continues to evolve.
