Johannes Golla (18) and his teammates in the German Junior National Team earned silver at the U20 European Championship. In a thrilling Sunday final, the German time came up just short against Spain (29-30) after extended time. The hopes of the German side crashed to the rocks after several "easy counterstrikes" during extended time where Spain needed "only" toss the ball into the empty cage. The MT pivot player saw significant playing time in the final, both on defence and offence. He scored three goals.
After the incredible semi-final win over France on Friday, with Germany winning 35-33 after extended time, the German U20 Junior National team faced off on Sunday afternoon in the Euros final against Spain. It was a tricky affair, with Spain cleverly slowing the tempo whenever possible to thwart Germany from getting into the rhythm. After fighting back from three goals down in the 51st minute, the team under Markus Baur and Erik Wudtke showed grit and discipline to force extended time. While the German squad initially took the lead, it ultimately came up just short on the final scoreboard 29-30 (27-27, 25-25, 9-12). The win earned Spain the title of European Champion and deposed Germany as defending champions. By qualifying for the finals, both teams earned themselves spot for the U21 World Championship to be held next year, likely in Algeria.
Throughout the match, the team managed by Markus Baur and Erik Wudtke enjoyed loud support from the German fan block, starting just a few seconds into play when Lukas Mertens scored on a counter-attack to make it 1-0. Both defences proved stout in the early going and the attackers failed to gain much traction. Patrick Gempp nevertheless seized his chance five minutes in from the circle and scored for a 3-2 lead. Just a few seconds later the man from Großwallstadt was hit with a suspension, and the awarded seven metre penalty was converted by Daniel Dujshebaev to knot things at 3-3. It was the Spaniard's second strike from the line.
The FC Barcelona talent — and son of Talant Dujshebaev — tied the score again in the 10th minute with an impressive underhand throw, although Franz Semper from SC DHfK Leipzig restored the German team's lead but moments later. On defence, Berlin's Kevin Struck played aggressively far forward, disrupting the pivot play of the Spaniards, but even he could not prevent the first Spain lead at 5-6 at already 12 minutes in.
The German team suffered a turnover with seven court players out, and Spain threw into the empty goal on 14 minutes — making it 6-8. A foul on pivot Patrick Gempp gave the German team the chance shortly thereafter to close the gap, but the otherwise so reliable Björn Zintel was blocked. On the other side, Minden's Joel Birlehm prevented the deficit from growing to three goals, and when another foul was whistled on a Spanish player, Björn Zintel once again strode to the line with the chance to make good. And the player from ASV Hamm did, sending the scoreboard to 7-8.
The Spanish side was a bit too vigorous in their defence and suffered several suspensions. Minden's Marian Michalczik took advantage effectively on 21 minutes, breaking through a gap in the defence to close the score to 8-9. The German goal was now manned by Potsdam's Paul Twarz, who quickly parried a backcourt missile from Juan Munoz but was left helpless on the follow-up throw by Ruben Iglesias... two goal lead for Spain.
The German bench called for a time-out roughly seven minutes before the half, but it didn't change the dynamic. To the contrary, Spain began expanding its lead. The aggressive Spanish defence appeared to have the German players on their heels.
Another block by Paul Twarz gave Baur's team the chance to reduce the deficit shortly before the break, but Lukas Merten's shot from the left wing was stopped by the Spanish goaltender. Daniel Dujshebaev instead extended his team's lead with a seven metre penalty before Moritz Schade was able to break through energetically at the circle for the 9-12 score. Right at the whistle for half Paul Twarz blocked a shot from the circle, holding the deficit to no more than three goals.
The German team had possession to start the second half, and Björn Zintel scored to make it 10-12, although Spain's most notable performer, Daniel Dujshebaev, quickly returned the favour. An artistic goal by Lukas Mertens from a very sharp angle had the German fans celebrating on 34 minutes. The player for Wilhelmshavener HV cut the deficit to 11-14. A goal by Johannes Golla and another save by Paul Twarz had the German team sensing a breakthrough, but Spain managed to put together a fast break that ended with 12-16 by Asier Nieto.
Taking a terrific assist from Jerome Müller, Johannes Golla once again made things closer, but Spain was awarded a controversial seven metre penalty that restored the four goal lead. Having played a draining match on Friday against France, the players under Markus Baur and Erik Wudtke seemed a bit tired and a step slow on defence. Even so, the team's fighting spirit was outstanding. Lukas Mertens successfully placed a shot, and a long throw by Spain landed near the German goal.
The comeback was on. Johannes Golla notched his third goal, bringing Germany back to 17-19 and soon had the chance to make it a brace, but was unable to convert. It was Spanish keeper Xoan Ledo who instead threw into the empty German net on 45 minutes, restoring the three goal lead. The German team refused to cede ground, and at 49 minutes had clawed back to 20-22, well within striking distance. Franz Semper, who had played a fine match to that point, hit for his fifth goal (21-23), with nine minutes remaining to turn the match around.
A Spanish suspension once again left them a man down, and Tim Suton seized the moment for an unstoppable shot to make it 22-23 — "Let's go, boys!" rang down from the stands. The captain, who had returned to the team after being banned for a red card, took few throws, but directed his players effectively throughout. Spain managed to score again, leaving five minutes in the match and a score of 25-23.
Marian Michalczik had stepped up again and again in the semi-final, but this time it was Leipzig's Franz Semper who overpowered the Spanish keeper again and again. First on 57 minutes from around nine meters (24-25), then two minutes later for 25-25. A block by Joel Birlehm gave the German team possession with a minute left in the match — and the chance to claim victory — but Franz Semper couldn't slot it home with just ten seconds on the clock. Spain was equally unable to score in the scant seconds remaining, and so — as in the semi-finals — on to extended time!
Just like in the semi-final, Joel Birlehm barred all entry to his goal, allowing his front line attackers the chance to take the first lead since the 11th minute. Lukas Mertens took advantage and scored for 26-25. Spain knotted things back up with a fine lob shot off an airborne pass, just clearing the keeper's fingertips, but the German team had smelled blood in the water. Marian Michalczik scored to regain the lead. Markus Baur continued sending in a seventh court player, but Daniel Dujshebaev took advantage with an empty net goal (27-27). That's how things remained at the intermission.
The first two goals after the extended time half-time went to Spain — two empty net goals, as the German coaches stuck to their seventh-court-player strategy but twice lost possession. On 67 minutes Marian Michalczik cut the deficit to 28-29, but an underhand throw from Daniel Dujshebaev, his tenth strike of the night, left things at 28-30 with just two minutes to go. While Tim Suton halved the gap one last time, Spain successfully wound down the clock on its next possession, and celebrated a European Championship title after the final whistle by the Danish referee.

Ok, I apologize for the fact that I am clearly a bit technologically challenged. My first attempt I deleted on accident and the last one I posted before I meant to. My goal is to add a photo to this before posting.
The camera on this isn't as good as my usual camera, but it's better than my old phone and should be sufficient for quick updates.
Lewis has been loving all the snow we are getting this week. There is more coming today but it is supposed to be quite cold so I'm not sure if we will go out.
Time to post this and see how I did this time.

The evolutionary development of humanity does not occur in a straight line. Generally a power of capacity is introduced, it then needs time to get integrated into the human framework and then get disseminated widely to become a general capacity of mankind. During the integration and dissemination phase, there are periods of resistance to the new line of action, and even outright strong opposition based on an attempt to preserve the status quo unchanged. The capacity for reflective thought, for instance, is seen as a threat to the segment of humanity that acts primarily on vital impulse of desire.
As long as there is an established capacity at work, it acts within a framework that circumscribes and limits its action. This limitation is not generally seen or recognized as long as we remain immersed in the characteristic action of that power or capacity. It is only when we begin to reach the outside limits of a particular capacity that we begin to recognize both its inherent limitations and the need to achieve a new standpoint outside the framework, in order to bring to bear upon the problems created by the limitations we now can see, a new power, a new insight, a new capacity.
The Avatar does not take birth to simply work through the issues of integration and dissemination; rather, the Avatar takes birth at just those moments when a new capability, a new order of conscious force, a new spiritual impetus, is absolutely essential to break through the limitations, overcome the obstacles and resolve the inherent conflicts of the prior stage.
Humanity has had major lines of development occur within an existing framework that do not qualify as actions calling forth an Avatar. Sri Aurobindo provides the examples of the Reformation or the French Revolution where such actions, even exceptional new insights, could occur without the Avatar. "…they were not great spiritual events, but intellectual and practical changes, one in religious, the other in social and political ideas, forms and motives, and the modification of the general consciousness brought about was a mental and dynamic, but not a spiritual modification."
"But when the crisis has a spiritual seed or intention, then a complete or a partial manifestation of the God-consciousness in a human mind and soul comes as its originator or leader. That is the Avatar."
Sri Aurobindo, Essays on the Gita, First Series, Chapter 17, The Divine Birth and Divine Works, pp. 159-160

There are almost 7 billion people in the world. Out of those 7 billion it is estimated that around 2 billion of them gamble at any time throughout the year. In 2011 the total worldwide gross for movies released in the theater was over 21 billion dollars. Each week Misflix.com will bring the gambling world and movie industry together with a segment called Misflix Box Office Book. With an original gambling system we will generate Money Lines, Over/Unders, Point Spreads and Parlays. If this doesn't make any sense to you now let me explain what we are doing this week.
This week we are hypothetically betting 20 dollars that Chronicle will make more than 15 million dollars in it's opening weekend. Here is a very simple explanation of how to gamble with an over/under bet. Using numerous sites who are predicting this movies opening weekend gross Misflix.com is saying that this movie will make 15 million dollars its opening weekend. Using that number you have to determine whether or not it will make more than 15 million (Over) or less than 15 million (Under). There are three movies opening this weekend that we are going to focus on.
The Woman in Black
Big Miracle
Last week The Grey ticket was thrown in the garbage so hopefully Chronicle will not share the same fate. How good are you at predicting the over/under on these movies opening weekend box office total?[polldaddy poll=5906403] [polldaddy poll=5906419] [polldaddy poll=5906448]

The goal of the Pomme de Terre River Association (JPB) is to improve the local water resources within the watershed through targeted voluntary efforts and the building of strong relationships with local landowners, producers, and citizens. The Pomme de Terre River is currently not meeting state water quality for sediment. The purpose of this project is to strategically work towards a 53% sediment reduction goal at the mouth of the Pomme de Terre River based on a Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategy document.
This project builds on the momentum and success of previous Clean Water Fund grants in making significant non-point source pollution reductions that address state-identified turbidity, excess nutrient and dissolved oxygen impairments of the Lower Minnesota River and points downstream. These water quality improvements will be achieved by constructing high-value, cost-effective conservation best management practices in Scott County directly tributary to the Minnesota River.
The City of Apple Valley will conduct a subwatershed assessment on the sections of Apple Valley draining to Keller Lake to target potential projects. The goal is to identify potential cost effective retrofit projects and operations improvements capable of fulfilling needed phosphorus reductions ahead of a number of planned infrastructure projects tentatively scheduled for 2018-2022.
The Greater Blue Earth River Basin Alliance (GBERBA) along with Soil and Water Conservation Districts, Counties, landowners, and drainage authorities in the ten member counties will install conservation drainage practices to improve water quality. 103E drainage systems with documented sediment or water quality issues are the focus with the goal of installing 52 practices such as improved side inlets (grade stabilization structures), alternative tile inlets, denitrifying bioreactors, saturated buffers, storage wetlands and others.
This project will improve surface water quality within the sediment degraded Trout Brook, a designated trout stream and tributary to the Cannon River. The project will focus on the installation of best management practices that will reduce the amount of sediment transport within the watershed. Approximately 20 practices will be installed through this project which will reduce an estimated 2,000 tons of sediment per year.
The purpose of this project is to complete subwatershed analysis for Cannon River and Vermillion River sub-watersheds to prioritize and target Best Management Practices based on cost-effectiveness with regard to pollutant reduction. This process is intended to proactively assist local water management and partner agencies in maximizing the value of each dollar spent to improve water quality in the respective rivers.

Please help me solve this one: My Canon S3 has performed flawlessly for over a year. This morning I shot my daughter's softball game on a SanDisk 2gb Ultra ll SD card, both pictures and video. I downloaded them using SanDisk ImageMate 8 card reader into my iMac. So far a typical shoot. I then went back for the opening ceremonies and took several more shots. (No reformat on the card, just added more shots like I've done several times before. Now when I try to download the other pics and video do show up, as if they were never shot at all. A few of these pics and video were shown to other people on location, so I know they were shot and played back just fine. But now, no new pics at all. How could this happen? I've never had a digital camera that dropped all new images shot. I'm not crazy but I probably will be if I don't get those pics to show up. Thanks for any help you can give.

Does this camera have internal memory? It is possible that if it does, the pictures go to the internal memory if the memory card gets full. You need to either connect the camera to the computer to download those or transfer the pictures to the memory card using some function in the camera itself. That is IF the camera has internal memory.

What do these emojis mean?
This idiom is used to express the lack of interest, preference or enjoyment in something or someone.
By: Kennita Leon
6 Min Quiz
What would life be without idioms? Boring, that's what. And idioms have been made even more fun and interesting now that emojis have been invented. Now before we get into the meat of the matter, let's discuss the difference between emojis and emoticons, so that you don't get confused. Emoticons are made up of a combination of punctuation marks, numbers and letters that form an emotion or feeling. For example, :) these two signs make a smiley face. Emojis, on the other hand, literally means "picture characters." It's what we use on our social media platforms and direct messaging apps and programs.
It's easy enough to send a smile to someone, but can you send messages in emoji? Can you decipher some of the most commonly spoken phrases if we show you a series of these picture characters? You may think that it's difficult, but it's not once you get the hang of it. Are you ready to prove to us that you can keep up with the millennials and generation z by deciphering these phrases? Or do you need to go back to the drawing board and learn what each emoji means? The only way to find out is to take this quiz.

When refined Nullstone has several unique properties, most notably the metal creates a dead magic area around the object. No magic can affect the metal directly, though it can be affected by indirect means such as raising the temperature around the area or magically creating acid and then pouring it on the item. Nullstone is extremely heavy and soft.
Weapons and Armor made from Nullstone are too heavy to wield or use effectively. Odjects made from Nullstone weigh 4 times normal and cannot be magical.
- Weapons - All attacks made with a Nullstone weapon are at disadvantage. If you manage to get a critical hit with the weapon, it breaks.

2. Learn About an Oracle Support Alternative
As a direct replacement of Oracle-provided support, you'll receive more personalized and responsive Oracle software support from senior problem solvers dedicated to resolving your tickets fast.
3. Understand Why Organizations Switch from Oracle
Most organizations move to third-party support for the immediate "hard" savings on maintenance fees. However, their motivations vary and can often be attributed by one or more scenarios, described below. Does one or more of these circumstances fit your organization?
|When an organization migrates from one on-premise environment to another or to the cloud, third-party support helps by maintaining the existing environment until the migration is complete. This assistance saves budget for other initiatives and allows staff to focus on the migration.
|When organizations either need short-term cost relief or are in a longer-term state of financial hardship, third-party support is a smart, safe way to positively impact the organization's financial performance. Companies owned or partially funded by private equity firms face these types of growth and financial pressures.
|When organizations are driven by the desire to transform and move operations to the cloud, third-party support can help by sustaining their stable, functional on-premise applications while they plan and implement their IT roadmap.

Re: Is it possible to setup Okta integration in this sandbox instance?Ryan Rutan Jun 1, 2017 10:11 AM (in response to Marcelo Yamada)
So this Jive instance is not a sandbox =) Assuming you meant out public Sandbox, and unfortunately ... no we cant alter the identity mapping of the sandbox globally to test an Okta configuration =\
Wish I had a better answer for you. If you have a Preview instance at your disposal or UAT, that would be the best time to test the new version.
Re: Is it possible to setup Okta integration in this sandbox instance?Marcelo Yamada Jun 1, 2017 10:15 AM (in response to Ryan Rutan)
Thanks for your reply, Ryan.
Unfortunately, that's all we can do. (Or can't do, actually.)

Moss grows with Strathmerton familyBy Country News
Evan Bourchier received the best birthday present when his in-laws gave him a kelpie named Moss in 2016. Moss lives with Evan, his wife Tamsin and their four daughters, Emma, 7, Eliza, 6, Edith, 4, and Eleanor, 18 months, on a Strathmerton mixed farm.
What is her personality like?
Moss is a relatively typical kelpie, just go, go, go, and tends to like either chasing things, or if she's not chasing them, keeping an eye on them.
She gets behind the cows and pushes them up, but being a kelpie, she does have a bit of a passion for sheep — we've got a few sheep at home and she's more excited to see the sheep than the cows.
When she was young, she could be a bit disobedient or deaf — I'm not sure which one it was, but now she comes when called.
Does she travel with you on the farm?
She would prefer to hop in the cab of the ute than hop in the back, or she lays on the floor of the tractor — she likes to ride in comfort.
Does she have any funny habits?
Sometimes I refer to her as the koala rescue dog.
She seems to be very good to find koalas in trees, we've got a bit of a pet koala that lives in a tree near the house or above her kennel, and you'll see her sitting there staring up at the tree.
What's the worst thing she's ever done?
She went through a stage when she was younger of wanting to chase cars for a bit when we first got her, but she's settled down now.
What does she eat?
She mainly likes bones and a bit of meat, so she gets a bit of variety.
She gets an occasional rabbit or hare, but just dog food most of the time.
Do you spend a lot of time together?
We spend a fair bit of time together, she's actually in the ute with me at the moment.
She's very happy to go along with whatever and she's good with the kids.

Lovato takes New Jersey by storm
Singer conquers a sold out show of more than 10,000 screaming fans
October 28, 2014
"Fierce" is the best word to use when describing the performance Demi Lovato delivered to a sold out Prudential Center on Saturday night. With more than 10,000 screaming fans in attendance for the show, the 22 year old, former Disney Channel star, undoubtedly connected with every single member of the audience.
Her opening acts featured pop-rap duo MKTO, the adorable and talented Christina Perri, and motivational speaker and double-amputee Spencer West.
Dressed in a chrome bustier, studded leather jacket, tight leather pants, and black combat boots, Lovato opened the show to her hit single, "I Really Don't Care." Accompanied by a live band, two back-up singers, and dance ensemble of all males, a freshly dyed, blue haired, Lovato hit the stage running.
Keeping the crowd dancing on their feet, the first half of her concert showed off her more feel good, pop-rock anthems: "The Middle," "Fire Starter," "Remember December," and "Heart Attack." Giving the crowd a chance to catch their breath, Lovato then transitioned into her softer side and wowed the fans with her runs, rifts, and unbelievably high notes, with "My Love is Like A Star," "Don't Forget", "Catch Me," an acoustic rendition of "Get Back," and her Oscar awarding winning song, "Let It Go," featured in the Disney film, Frozen.
Lovato wasted no time in cutting into her set list to connect with her fans. "If you guys are coming to hang out with me," she said, "I'm going to hang out with you." It was in this portion that she shared her favorite TV shows, played a song on the piano, told a short story about her first ever performance on the East Coast, and discussed the importance of conquering one's fears.
Inviting every member in attendance to help support the Women's Empowerment Center in Kenya, Rafiki bracelets were sold at every merchandise booth throughout the arena (each handcrafted by the mommas in the tribes). Lovato also let the audience in on her trip to Kenya, displaying clips of her 21st birthday there, as she sang "Warrior."
The singer only went back to her head-banging tunes for three songs: "Two Pieces," a cover of Michael Jackson's "Thriller," and "Got Dynamite," before she gave the show a very sentimental, New Jersey touch.
She dedicated her song "Nightingale," to Tyler Clementi, the Rutgers University student who committed suicide in 2010 after being cyber-bullied for being gay. Rising into the air on a platform, the white lights beamed down on her, and her voice cracked as she poured out every single emotion in her body. This was by far one of the crowd's favorite moments of the entire concert.
Last but certainly not least, Lovato closed the show with three of her biggest radio hits, "Skyscraper," "Give Your Heart A Break," and an encore performance of "Neon Lights."
During John's spare time he enjoys writing and publishing novels to Wattpad, drinking Starbucks, attending concerts, and binge watching television...

Are ants beneficial insects?
Its For School,
Do You Know Any Beneficial Insects Any WHY There Beneficial?
5 Answers
- Anonymous1 decade agoFavorite Answer
Not all insects are pests; in fact, a great many of them are beneficial to man. Entomologists recognize the good done by beneficial insects as well as the injury done by harmful ones. Predators, parasites, and pollinators are the most important beneficial insects.
Everyone recognizes the familiar ladybug, or ladybird beetle. Many species have an enormous appetite for aphids--one of our most common plant pests. Others prefer scale insects and mites and are very effective in reducing infestations.
Ladybug larvae are equally relentless predators. Their colorful, but ferocious appearance often causes unknowing gardeners to assume that they must be harmful. Nothing could be further from the truth.
The praying mantis is another widely-recognized insect predator. Nymphs and adults alike lie in wait for an unlucky insect which strays too close, then strike out to grab it with their modified front legs.
Ambush bugs use the same lie-in-wait tactic. Notice that their front legs are also enlarged and modified. The bright yellow colors of this species camouflage them in their favorite hideout--goldenrod flower.
The larvae of common lacewings are miniature monsters when viewed at close range. They are deadly enemies of small caterpillars, aphids, and other soft-bodied insects.
The lowly ground beetle, so common under logs and debris, is another friend of man. Both larvae and adults are predaceous and feed on a wide variety of insects.
Less common, but still important, robber flies are deadly enemies of grasshoppers, wasps, and other flies which they capture on the wing. Some of their prey are as large or larger than they are.
Tachinid flies are parasites of other insects. This fly has laid its small white eggs just above the legs of the caterpillar in front of it. Upon hatching, the fly maggots will burrow through their hosts skin and feed on its internal organs. The caterpillar will die just as the larvae emerge and complete their development.
In addition to these flies, many small wasps are important parasites of other insects. It is very difficult to measure how important these insects are, but there is no doubt that they are extremely valuable allies to us. Without their behind-the-scenes help, our pest problems would be infinitely worse.
The benefit of insects which pollinate flowers is somewhat easier to estimate since without them there would be no apples, pears, cherries, citrus fruit, nuts, berries, coffee, melons, cucumbers, squash, or many other common foods. Pollinating insects are estimated to be worth a least 8 billion dollars annually. Dozens of species of flower flies and wild bees inadvertently transfer pollen from one flower to another as they gather nectar to feed themselves and their young.
The best known pollinator and man s best friend among the insects in the honey bee. Besides the pollinating services it renders, this insect provides us with honey which we eat and beeswax which we use in making candles, polishes, inks, and cosmetics. It is hard to imagine what life would be like without the natural pest control, flower pollination, and products provided to us by these beneficial insects.

Without playing games, don't be available 100% of the time or let your life be an open book. A man that comes on too strong or doesn't have outside interests will scare a woman away just as much as it would if the circumstances were reversed. Read here https://tr.im/cIots
Women don't want to feel as though they are completely responsible for your happiness and that is what it feels like when the other person has no outside interests. Men who are overeager or jump when the woman says jump are the ones who are more likely to end up in the friend zone. This doesn't mean that you should play the game of not calling for a few days; it means that you should set healthy boundaries until you both naturally find a spot for the other in your lives.

Ants are eusocial insects of the family Formicidae and, along with the related families of wasps and bees, belong to the order Hymenoptera. They are a diverse group of more than 12,000 species, with a higher diversity in the tropics. They are known for their highly organized colonies and nests, which sometimes consist of millions of individuals. Individuals are divided into sub-fertile, and more commonly sterile, females ("workers"), fertile males ("drones"), and fertile females ("queens"). Colonies can occupy and use a wide area of land to support themselves. Ant colonies are sometimes described as superorganisms because the colony appears to operate as a unified entity.
Ants are useful for clearing out insect pests and aerating the soil. The use of weaver ants in citrus cultivation in southern China is one of the oldest known uses of biological control.On the other hand, they can become annoyances when they invade homes, yards, gardens and fields. Carpenter ants damage wood by hollowing it out for nesting.
In some parts of the world large ants, especially army ants, are said to be used as sutures by pressing the wound together and applying ants along it. The ant in defensive attitude seizes the edges in its mandibles and locks in place. The body is then cut off and the head and mandibles can remain in place, closing the wound.[49]
Some species, called killer ants, have a tendency to attack much larger animals during foraging or in defending their nests. Attacks on humans are rare, but the stings and bites can be quite painful and in large enough numbers can be disabling.
The Masai of Africa had an abiding respect for the Siafu ants, voracious predators that consume a large amount of insects and are welcomed for the benefit they bring to farmers, as they will eliminate all pests from a crop and quickly move on.
In South Africa, ants are used to help harvest rooibos, Aspalathus linearis, the small seeds of which are used to make a herbal tea.

Chef Thomas Keller Talks About Foie Gras, Fine Dining and the Future
The French Laundry is still one of the most difficult tables to book in the world, but since the expansion of Bouchon – and the new bakery cookbook release this November, Keller has become much more approachable and seems to be popping down to LA from Yountville almost as frequently as Las Vegas or New York – where his other eateries reside. While we recently reported about some of the new fun activities at the Beverly Hills location – from fried chicken to Sunday supper and movie night, we were able to sit down with the chef to hear what he's really excited about, his take on the foie gras ban and how feels about the 'death of fine dining.'
You seemed to have brought fried chicken back and made it popular again, what are your thoughts on that?
Fried chicken has always been around. We started fried chicken six years ago at Ad Hoc and it seemed to resonate with a lot of people, it certainly has with me all my life. I think people just forgot about it for awhile – at least in our part of the word. In the south, they never forgot about it. It depends on where you are. We just made it interesting and good again. It has powdered vegetables in it, like Garlic.
Why did you want to start the Sunday Supper concept?
When I was a kid Sunday supper was for the family. We all gathered together and ate at 3:00 in the afternoon. The focus has been too much on food and I think food is really important but let's face it, if you go out with people that you really don't like, no matter how good the food is your still not going to enjoy the evening. If you go out with people that you really love, the food can be good be not wonderful and you can have such an amazing time. When you think about going out to dinner, your first and most important choice should be who am I going with because that is going to influence your experience so much.
How are you dealing with the foie gras ban at your restaurants?
There is nothing to deal with. The state passed a law. That's it. We have introduced the chicken liver mousse which is a classic in French bistros. That is one thing that we did to transition from foie gras to another dish that was similar to foie gras, but we've had this on our menus in the past, it's not something that is new to this style of restaurant or culture. Everyone has chicken liver. We are also working on a recipe for chicken liver that is going to look just like foie gras when it's sautéed.
Do you think there is loop –hole to the ban? Some chefs are saying they will still serve foie gras on tasting menus…..
If you can't buy it, how are you going to have it on the menu? People pay for the tasting menu….so in reality, you are paying for it. I'm not trying to find loop-holes in the foie gras law. I don't want to put myself in a position to have someone come and arrest me. I'm kind of a high profile chef and the last thing I want is to be made an example of – that's just stupid. If I was 25 years old, I might do it for some kind of marketing and publicity stunt, but that opportunity for me has passed to do that kind of thing. I have to be responsible and set the example for people. People have come to me and said let's start a foie gras club. I'm not sure how that works if you buy it as an individual. Foie gras is a beautiful thing it's a shame that the government feels it's necessary to protect an animal. We have kids sleeping in the streets. There are bigger issues at hand than a duck. We could also talk about factory farming. Why is it only a duck they are trying to save? What about beef, what about chicken? Why did they pick on foie gras? Because they have no money to protect themselves. Do you think any of these lobbyists are going to go after the meat companies? Do you think PETA is going to go after factory farmed beef? There is just too much money in it and plenty of lobbyists to protect the industry.
On a positive note, what are you excited about right now?
We change our menu for times a year so I'm looking forward to going to Vegas where all the chefs from the different Bouchons get together and work on our menu items. We're doing our fall menu now. I'm excited just about food and that every year we have great food available to us. We have to think about what our food sources are and for me it's all about supporting those communities, whether it's our fishermen, famers, foragers or gardeners and making sure that they have our support to be able to do what they want to do and they have a livelihood to grow and prosper and the only way to do that is with your pocketbook. We pay them what they need to make and in many cases that doesn't happen. Many people are concerned about their financial well being, and I understand that, but there is always a rub there, how do you support these people who are producing artisanal products on small farms because they are more expensive. You can get meat and a carrot cheaper, but are you really supporting the right individuals? It's a question of what your opportunities are and ability. Not everybody can support those people but we try to in a holistic way. Sometimes we buy the whole animal, so that farmers don't have to worry just about raising the primal cuts. If we buy the whole animal, they have a better opportunity from an economic model to be successful. Lamb for instances doesn't only produce a rack and a saddle – the cuts that everyone wants, but it produces legs and shanks and all kinds of things but if we are not committed to using the whole animal we are not contributing to any kind of sustainable culture.
Do you think that all of these food festivals are helping to shed light on the artisan producers?
Everything is helping to shed light. From where we've come in out country (since I started 35 years ago) is extraordinary. Our culinary heritage was hamburgers and fast food – that is what 90 percent of the world recognized American food to be – fast food, McDonald's. Today we have some of the best chefs and restaurants, suppliers and farmers in the world. Another country that we are parallel with that shares our rise in culinary culture is the UK. 35 years ago if you asked about British food people would have said boiled beef. Now they have some of the best chefs, restaurants and ingredients in the world.
Do you think the food festivals are becoming saturated?
I think the chefs are being exploited for the sake of profit for people who want to make money. They think they can just come and open a food and wine festival. They tell the chefs they'll get publicity and you have to donate food and then we're going to line our pockets with cash. We say we're going to give a small amount to charity so we can get that blanket wrapped around us that we're a charitable organization. At the end of the day it's all smoke and mirrors. I say that but then I'm close friends with some people who do those festivals, and I do think there is value in them – I'm not saying they are all like that. Back to your question, yes, I think there are too many.
What do you like to do or cook in your free time?
Golf! I'm surrounded by food so it's not a priority of mine. I'm a simple eater so when I'm out of work….even when I'm working I eat with the staff. My favorite time of day is the family meal at 4:30. When I'm off on vacation, I'm not trying to find that gastronomic destination. It's always available to me. I'm blessed. If I want to go to Daniel's, I pick up the phone and call Daniel. If I want to go to John-Georges, I just pick up the phone. So for me it's a little bit different and we are all colleagues. The same holds for them but most of us, because we deal with food all day long, just want to eat very simply. When you're out with Ferran (Adria from El Bulli) he's in the tapas bar, he doesn't want to go to another fine dining restaurant because that is what he does all day.
Since you like simple food, what are some of your favorite salads?
The most important thing is seasonality. As we move into the fall, we are thinking about fall fruits like squash, potatoes and grains that we want to work with. More substantial salads with more protein involved like sweet breads or short rib. The classic salads are always available at Bouchon. The endive and watercress are mainstays on the menu but it changes because it's a classic bistro and we have to maintain the heritage and relationship with France. Roasted chicken is also a mainstay, it's been on the menu for the past 12 years in Yountville but what changes are the garnishes and vegetables with the seasons. The chicken recipe and technique doesn't change. What you do is go to the market and that's what you make your salad with or get your garnishes from. We want to be market driven.
Will you open more Bouchon concepts in the future?
I'm really happy with what I have and I have a lot. We are getting ready to open the second Bouchon Bakery in Las Vegas in the Venetian. No matter where you are cooking is a very simple equation: it's all about ingredients and execution. We try to get the best ingredients and the execution is about skill level – so we want to make sure our staff has a very high skill level. We give them great training and mentor them. We also want to make sure that they have the equipment that they need. It's a comfortable environment in our kitchen and it's a comfortable environment to work in. It's not rocket science, it's just commitment. We work so hard all day long so that we can give our guests something that pleases them. At the end of the day the best chefs are very nurturing.
What do you think about the resurgence of the subject on the death of Fine Dining?
Look at fine dining in restaurants that are prospering around the country and around the world. No. Are bespoke suits dead? No. I don't know what it is about fine dining that we continue to ask the question. Are we hoping that it dies? Is that what we're saying? Finally, fine dining is dead. Thank God. Let's stick a knife in it and move on – then we will only have casual restaurants. I don't understand what the debate is. Certainly fine dining has changed – the quality, execution and commitment but I have kids in my restaurant that are 23, 24 years old that are extraordinary and this is going back 18 years. There has never been a time at The French Laundry where we didn't have that and they were not 100 percent committed to fine dining, and if you look at their history 18 years later, they are still in fine dining. The guest that come to our restaurant are committed and it's multi-generational, we don't only have 75-year-olds in the dining room. There is a whole range of people who just love to have that experience.
Look what Daniel Hum has done with Eleven Madison Park. It was a more casual restaurant that was dying when Danny Meyer had it. Now its fine dining and you can't even get in the restaurant. Is casual dining dying? The old school used to be intimidating. When I opened French Laundry I didn't want to have an intimidating restaurant. We have changed the style and the spirit of the restaurant but the focus on the food and service is still the same yet the ambiance has changed. Certainly fine dining has been casualized like everything else. Remember when you used to get dressed up to go to get on a plane or go to a play? Now you go in short pants and flip flops – there at Lincoln Center right now. It's the casualization of the world really. No matter where you are what you used to get dressed up for you don't anymore.
Even with all of Keller's success, there is still a double edged sword at Bouchon that Keller is trying to break through.
There is still an intimidation factor with French menu words that will hopefully start to become familiar the same way that spaghetti or lasagna became familiar to me when I was a kid. I've worked hard to eliminate intimidation because there is no place in a restaurant for intimidation. Like what is poulet? Well, it's roasted chicken and everyone knows what that is. We are most comfortable when we can find reference points. It's so intimate this food we are eating. It's one of the foods that we all have in common around the world from Asia to Europe and America everyone has a version of this dish. For example, when we opened the bakery, I didn't know what a caneléwas. You can't know everything.

Me! Me!
I had a bowl of clam chowder the other night at the aforementioned seafood restaurant.
Since my stupid phone didn't get service, I couldn't look up the difference between Manhattan and New England clam chowder to figure out which one I wanted to order. The very patient waitress offered to do a half-and-half so I could try both.
I think New England chowder is more popular, especially the canned version, but I found the Manhattan chowder to be more flavorful. I also liked that it's tomato-based broth so it tasted healthier than the creamier version.
Today I checked out the Wikipedia entry on clam chowder. Holy moly, did you know there are so many kinds? Neither did I.
In the world, there is New England (the white creamy kind Campbells sells in a can), Manhattan clam chowder (the red kind I ate the other night) and Rhode Island and Delaware each claim their own form of it. Pretty sure I remember Seattle versions too. Wikipedia says there is also Hatteras and Minorcan chowder.
My new goal is to find a place that serves the other kinds and try them all! Who's in?

So we were pretty suprised today when our friends Terrance & Jacki wanted to hang out with us tonight. I mean, ya they are pretty much our only friends here in Redmond, but we just hung out with them on Monday night, so it shocked us a little, but we LOVE hanging out with them so we said OKAY!
They have a really sweet dog; a Beagle named Alpine and they've been telling us about the Off-leash Dog Park at Marymoor Park, that they take her to all the time. (BTW: MArymoor park is this HUGE park that we live about a 5 minute walk from and it's beautiful) So they suggested that we all go there tonight for a walk and to play with Alpine and see other dogs at the park. For those of you that don't know, Dan and I REALLY want a puppy and we're planning on getting one in September when Dan gets a raise and a bonus, so T & J suggested that we go shopping for a kind of breed at the park and to just have fun.
Anyways we had an awesome time at the park. It was a beautiful warm summer evening and the park was FULL of dogs. I've never seen so many dogs in one place! This dog park was AWESOME! It's 80 acres of doggy paradise. The highlight of the everning was trying to chase after Alpine so that Terrance could throw her in the pond. She's too chicken to get wet I guess. I felt sorry for Alpine but at the same time it was pretty hilarious, but whatever!
Anyways we're just so fortunate and we feel truly blessed to have Jacki and Terrance as friends. I felt a bond with Jacki from the moment I saw her in church and I knew right away that we would be friends. It's one of those......"We probably knew each other in the Pre-Earth life". What I didn't realize was how much we had in common and how much we need each other as friends, not only in the social sense but emotionally as well.
Thanks for being our friends Keenan's!
(B the way, these are just pictures I found on the net of the park. They're not actual photos we took)

Two RI Schools with SMMA Ties Named Blue Ribbon Winners
SMMA is happy to congratulate our friends at Rhode Island's Archie R. Cole Middle School (East Greenwich) and Francis J. Varieur Elementary School (Pawtucket) on being named among 2015's National Blue Ribbon Schools (NBRS) Award winners by the U.S. Department of Education.
The National Blue Ribbon Schools Program—which has honored more than 8,000 public and private elementary, middle, and high schools since 1982—recognizes places of learning that meet high standards of academic excellence and display exemplary dedication to helping students succeed in the classroom. This year, U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan selected 335 schools—285 and 50 public—from 45 states, as well as several domestic and international Department of Defense Education Activity locations, for the honor.
SMMA's ties to the Cole and Varieur schools—and commitment to designing successful K-12 learning environments throughout Rhode Island—are strong. We provided full design services for Cole Middle School, which opened in 2011 and remains one of only two new schools built under the updated RIDE regulations, and assessed Varieur Elementary School as part of the RIDE Stage I process for the Pawtucket School District.
In a post on the Rhode Island Department of Education website, Governor Gina Raimondo said:
"The Blue Ribbon is the highest honor the U.S. Department of Education awards to schools, and the award of Blue Ribbons to three Rhode Island schools shows that our best schools rank among the best in the nation. I know that our teachers across the state are working hard to ensure that our schools provide all Rhode Island students with knowledge and skills they will need for success in school and in challenging careers."
For being selected, each school will receive a commemorative award plaque and flag, and also be recognized at a ceremony in Washington, DC on November 9 & 10. SMMA commends both schools on their NBRS designation, and we look forward to them continuing to define educational quality in Rhode Island long into the future.

I went into the Consulate Hotel, purchased a cold beverage, then sat on the terrace at the front of the hotel watching the world go by for half an hour. It was bliss! Several people stopped to chat and lots more waved as they went past. People wave here - a lot.
I took these two snaps so you could come with me for a virtual sit. Imagine yourself with a lovely cold drink, (I had ginger beer but you can have anything you like, except sparkling water. For some reason that delicacy has not reached the south atlantic which is a shame), sitting in the shade of the balcony above looking out at the row of shops and up to the semi-desert hillside above. If you crane your neck a little bit as you look down the street you can almost see the ocean at the bottom.
You will probably be engaged in conversation by someone you have never met - what are you doing here? do you like it? how are you settling in? or someone you feel you probably have met but can't remember where because you have met so many new people recently - on your own today? where are the Smalls? how are they doing?
Well, cheers, enjoy your drink and your sit. Then take your new-found restedness back with you to reality.

Lewis posts three top-five finishes to lead Panthers
HOOKSETT, N.H. – Sophomore Terrell Lewis (Nashua, N.H.) was a top-five finisher in all three of his events to lead the Plymouth State University men's outdoor track & field team to a sixth place finish at the Penmen Relays hosted by Southern New Hampshire University at Penmen Stadium on Saturday.
Lewis finished second in the 110m hurdles and high jump, while also placing fifth in the long jump. The Panthers' 4x100m relay team of junior Zach Bassett (Pascoag, R.I.), freshman Tucker Gosselin (Sanbornville, N.H.), junior Chenet Guerrier (Burlington, Mass.) and freshman Noah Couitt (Swansea, Mass.) finished fourth, just off school record pace, while freshman Marcus Roper (Cornish, N.H.) took fourth in the discus.
Plymouth State scored 43 team points to finish sixth and fourth among NCAA Division III competition. Eastern Connecticut State University finished first with 86 points.
The Basics:
Penmen Relays – Sixth of 23 Teams
How it Happened:
* Lewis finished first in his heat to qualify for the 110m hurdle finals. His finals time of 15.08 seconds was good enough for second. He added a second place finish in the high jump after clearing 1.88 meters and finished fifth in the long jump after covering 6.36 meters.
* PSU's 4x100m relay team joined forces to cross the line in 44.23 seconds, just 0.22 seconds off school-record pace.
* Roper continued his strong rookie campaign with a fourth place finish in the discus throw after a toss of 39.71 meters. He added a throw of 13.60 meters in the shot put to finish eighth, one spot behind classmate Zach Wallace (Wayne, Maine), who reached 13.75 meters. Both reached the qualifying mark for NCAA Division III New England Championships.
* Bassett finished seventh in the 400m hurdles with a time of 1:00.15.
* Junior Leo Shattuck (Grafton, Mass.) earned an eighth place finish in the triple jump after a leap of 12.54 meters, while sophomore Jared Wolf (Tyngsborough, Mass.) took eighth in the 5000m run in 16:51.43.
* Freshman Jacob Rigoli (Essex, Vt.) followed his strong performance from last week with a ninth place finish in the hammer throw with a toss of 42.70 meters.
* Junior Nate Belanger (Newmarket, N.H.) was 12th in the 800m run with a time of 2:01.08, while Guerrier was the top Panther finisher in the 400m dash, ending up 15th with a time of 52.82 seconds.
* The duo joined up with Shattuck and freshman Ben Platt (Manchester, N.H.) to finish third in the 4x400m relay, crossing the line in 3:30.62.
Straight from the Coach's Mouth:
"Terrell [Lewis] is getting his rhythm after a slow start to outdoor," said head coach John Ostler. "He had his best series of his career in long jump and he's about to have a nice drop in the hurdles in the next couple of weeks. Chenet [Guerrier] put together a nice triple today. He's really grown into the leader of that sprint group. Zach [Wallace] getting into New England's in the shot is a nice achievement for a freshman."
Up Next:
* PSU heads to Tufts next Saturday (Apr. 20) for the Sunshine Classic.

By the time the workaholics realize that a shining career cannot be a substitute for a fulfilling personal life, they are already 40 plus.
It's quite late to unlearn the habits they developed over years of late night work and countless cups of machine coffee. So they start preaching their juniors to inculcate the same habits in the name of passion for work.
After all, nothing makes an unhappy person happier than the sight of an unhappy person?

The National Nuclear Laboratory has created a new partnership to a develop and test new and emerging technologies in nuclear facilities across the UK.
The NLL – which has its Central Laboratory facility at the Sellafield site and a rig hall facility in Workington – has awarded a four-year contract to Hull-based engineering business Spencer Group.
Spencer Group will design, build and maintain experimental rigs to test the technologies before, if successful, they are deployed at nuclear sites, which could include Sellafield.
The work will include a range of complex engineering challenges, such as the design and construction of processing plants, pressure vessels, mechanical handling equipment and specialist machinery.
The group hopes the contract will further enhance its reputation in the nuclear sector. It has already been involved in removing nuclear waste at the former Chapelcross power station in Dumfries and Galloway and has secured work at Hinkley Point A site in Somerset.
And it has established links in Cumbria, with its business developer, Charlotte Penn, a member of the Britain's Energy Coast Business Cluster's Shadow Board of young professionals working within the nuclear sector.
Spencer Group's nuclear lead Rob Marshall, said: "We're delighted to have the opportunity to work with NNL and to demonstrate our expertise and proven experience within the nuclear industry, which is one of the most challenging sectors for any business to work in."
Its engineering director, Mick Renshaw, added: "We're working with a client that is looking beyond the established supply chain, so we'll be offering a fresh perspective and evolving alongside NNL throughout the framework."
The NNL - which is a Government body - works with clients across the industry to support the operation of nuclear plants, advise on waste management and conduct nuclear research.

Some of the old chestnuts thrown up against the Church include the allegation that we didn't want people to read the Bible for themselves, that we are anti-science, and that we are more loyal to the Pope than to our own country. The life, work, and writings of the saint we celebrate on Monday give the lie to all those claims.
St Robert Bellarmine was born in 1542 and died in 1621. He was a very able scholar and very subtle thinker, and perhaps it was not a surprise that as a young man he joined the newly founded Jesuit order. As a Professor at the University of Louvain he encouraged the study of the Bible in its original languages. Later in Rome he became a firm friend of Galileo and defended him against unfair attacks. His work on the relationship between Church and state curbed the excesses of those who wanted to make the latter completely subservient to the former. Robert was no ivory tower theologian either, he produced catechisms and spiritual commentaries meant to increase knowledge and devotion.
Robert is a good example to all teachers. He was keen to find out what his opponents thought but also to explain what the Church actually teaches. We need more like Robert today, men and women who can calmly and charitably correct false impressions of the Faith and put it forward in an attractive way. P.D.

The Steve & Marjorie Harvey Foundation hosts second-annual Girls Who Rule The World Mentoring Weekend
After a successful debut in 2010, The Steve & Marjorie Harvey Foundation will host the second annual Girls Who Rule The World Mentoring Weekend (GWRTW) to help teenage girls from diverse backgrounds successfully navigate the pressures and pitfalls of teenage life. Held on October 28-30, 2011 at the Marriott Evergreen Conference Center, this three-day, two night program will include influential women from business, music and entertainment who will share from their own personal blueprint for success and help the young women selected establish long-term goals.
With Georgia ranking number one in teenage girl high school drop outs and third in the nation in the prostitution of them, Marjorie Harvey is hosting GWRTW to give the teenage girls of Georgia the tools to recognize and develop personal goals for success. The weekend events aim to help teenage women build strong peer relationships, increase self-reliance and bolster self-esteem. Says Marjorie Harvey, "I am so proud of what we accomplished last year at GWRTW. It was a weekend of personal lessons, encouragement, music and fun! This year we hope to expand on all that was taught last year and also continue to encourage them, boost their self-esteem and let them know that we love and support them."
Not forgetting last year's mentees, Marjorie Harvey along with keynote speaker Susan Taylor, CEO of National CARES Mentoring Movement and last year conference speaker, Vicki Palmer, will host a Mid Year Session on September 11, 2011 to re-emphasize the lessons they learned during the inaugural GWRTW Weekend. "It is necessary that we take the reins and be proactive in teaching our young women the value of education and pursuing excellence in their lives," says Susan Taylor. "I am happy to be able to partake in this Mid Year Session to help reinforce all that was taught last year and to encourage all that participated to continue to reach for their goals, no matter how high."
The first annual GWRTW weekend included interactive activities and seminars and included a who's who of trusted female partners including Essence Magazine's Mikki Taylor, actress/talk show host Sherri Shepherd, CBS News Correspondent Shannon Els and singer Keri Hilson, among others. This year's speakers will be announced shortly who will be on hand to impart wisdom, resources and to help guide girls through the importance of balanced nutrition, proper etiquette, positive self-esteem and professional development.
Teenage girls from the ages of 13-18 living in the metro Atlanta, GA area are invited to participate in the second annual GWRTW weekend. Eligible participants must currently be enrolled in an accredited middle/high school; they must also complete an application and write and submit a 300-word essay on peer pressure, teenage sex or body image. The launch date to submit an application is August 2, 2011 and submission deadline is September 5, 2011. To apply and for more information, please log onto www.girlswhoruletheworld.org.

CCS might work, but should be a trojan horse
October 26, 2009
Dear Mr. Miliband,
Regarding 'Copenhagen needs CCS':
While I agree that CCS appears to be an attractive technology, which could one day make significant contributions to reducing emissions, it is also being used as a Trojan horse by energy companies. By promising future reductions in emissions (say in 10-15 years time), they seek to get permission for new coal power stations (such as Kingsnorth in Kent).
In addition, despite the energy companies' claims that CCS works and will be installed, they demand massive support from the taxpayer and guarantees that they will not be forced to switch off their polluting coal power if it does not work. Both demands are unacceptable.
By all means let the public support CCS research and demonstration, but there must be no more handouts to one of the world's most polluting industries (over and above the billions they have made from the EU emissions trading scheme).
In addition, all existing power stations should be retrofitted, or closed. The UK provides a third of its electricity from coal. We could easily substitute this with offshore wind and gas (with combined heat and power, this would be a huge boost), while we perfect the research on new coal.
As for industry-sponsored reports about the lights going out? Well, the government has a 20% efficiency target – if we hit that, and had a modest expansion of renewables, I think we could probably keep the lights on.
Alasdair CameronLetters to the EurActiv editor
That should probably read 'CCS might work, but could be a Trojan horse.' Not sure what happened there!
