The rest-house and surrounding area get very busy on Fridays and littering is a major problem. There is no trail system as yet but there are a number of minor roads through the forest that lead to secluded glades with impressive views. Dibeen is particularly attractive in March and April, when it is full of lavishing spring flowers.

Slant Foot Bridge to be removed in coming weeks
Salvageable material will be saved while efforts to find replacement funds continue
BRISTOL— In the coming weeks, Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) crews will begin the process of removing the Slant Foot Bridge in Scott County, which was heavily damaged during flooding in February.
"The flood damaged and moved the bridge's foundation," Gary Lester, P.E., VDOT Bristol Bridge Engineer, said. "The bridge is unsafe in its current condition. In order to make the needed foundation repairs we must remove the other damaged portions of the bridge first."
All salvageable materials from the foot bridge will be stored at a local VDOT area headquarters. Should funds be secured for replacing the bridge, those salvageable materials will be reused to cut costs.
VDOT is reviewing multiple revenue sources to see what funds are available for replacement of the foot bridge.
"We understand the desire to have the foot bridge replaced and are working with the county to review what's possible, but we also have an obligation to prioritize how VDOT's funding is used so we serve as many citizens as possible," Randy Hamilton, P.E., VDOT Bristol District Engineer, said.
Replacing the foot bridge could cost between $150,000 - $200,000, depending on the amount of material that can be salvaged.
Information in VDOT news releases was accurate at the time the release was published. For the most current information about projects or programs, please visit the project or program Web pages. You may find those by searching by keyword in the search Virginia DOT box above.

Meera Chandrasekhar describes herself as "a condensed matter experimentalist," that is, a physicist who studies a class of materials called condensed matter systems (formerly known as "solids"). Within this class are three types of materials: insulators, which do not allow electricity to flow; conductors, which do allow electricity to flow; and semiconductors, which "have conducting properties that are in between that of insulators and conductors." Chandrasekhar has spent most of her research career seeking to understand the special properties of this "in-between" class of materials.

Frozen sisters Elsa and Anna will never be the same again in your eyes after seeing their curvy behinds in this series of Disney princesses re-imagined as sexy ,and dare we say erotic, pin-up models. Elsa and Anna will have you, uh, "frozen" in a whole new way. LA-based artist Andrew Tarusov is the illustrator behind these seductive versions of the usually child-friendly Disney princesses.
First off, you might want to turn around before scrolling down as your boss may not approve of the following images. With that out of the way, let's put the spotlight on Zak Smith, an artist best known for "sensual" portraits of females. His art is more than plain eroticism, though, as his pieces are laced with vibrant colors and intricate details.
Wars are never kind. If those don't take away lives, they take away limbs. American veterans who lost the latter are the stars of Michael Stokes' series of calendar-style images. These photos will appear in the book "Always Loyal," which will paint these soldiers in an empowering light, instead of one that's gloomy and depressing.

unspoken words,
just sun and salt,

Inflatable boat,

Invisible anchor

a sunset, a dawn,...

As a hound at the hunt...
...being a hound,
questioning every bush:
where to go?..
Punctured by threading rain
with needle precision,
hunting for evidence of crime,
hounded by sounds,
signs synchronicity,
tangled in the mazes
a forest sanctuary...
Smell the fire
illegal pleasure
for skilled dexterity -
whatever cool down!
Pail the water
to blow out a fire
in timely manner -
not engaging scenery...
Best result prompts
be rewarded,
innocent people
don't have to suffer,
specially when you are
the detective,
sir Sherlock Holmes,
an esquire.

The depth
|Surfing on the reefs,
illusive waves -
the sky is smiling...
Someone has to leave,
for other -safe
to stay for while...
Dream blue water rolls
in salty shells
the seagull cry song...
Lifetime longing call -
too deep the well -
who hit the gong?..

Paleo 101
If you've made it here, you might have some ideas about what Paleo is. Then again, you might not.
Truth is, there are many interpretations of Paleo in the universe today. If you're currently following a Paleo-principled lifestyle, it might vary a bit from ours. We don't believe there is an absolute definition of Paleo. Instead, we feel it is a great template. Our goal is to bring the best parts of our ancestors' lifestyles to the present day, adding a pinch of culinary wizardry with a dash of modern kitchen equipment to make your time in the kitchen enjoyable and efficient.
What we eat
- Protein, in the form of meats, poultry, seafood and things we (or others) could hunt/catch/spear/grow. We prioritize meats from local sources that have been raised humanely.
- Carbohydrates, in the form of vegetables and some fruit. We eat lots and lots of colorful/seasonal vegetables. Yes, veggies and fruits are"carbs".
- Fats that are derived from healthy sources: coconuts, avocados, nuts, olives and animals (lard, tallow, butter, ghee, duck fat).
- All kinds of herbs and spices.
What we don't eat
(and what you won't see as an ingredient in our recipes)
- Wheat, Oats, Barley, Millet and various other grains.
- Legumes (beans of nearly every variety)*
- Dairy*
* We do include green beans and occasionally offer up variations to our recipes that include some dairy (if you tolerate dairy and are including it in your food).
There are countless illustrations online for a food matrix containing options in each of these categories. The one we generally recommend to friends is Robb Wolf's.
We're not scientists, nutritionists or medical doctors. Heck, we're not even chefs…just a couple of home cooks that love sharing our tasty creations. If you want all the whys as to why we do or do not eat certain things, we suggest checking out the resources below and the awesome information these fine folks have put out into the universe in the form of podcasts, blog postings, books, more recipes, and so much more!

We all agree, 'murder' is wrong, always. Always. Except well, maybe...
... as a punishment for those unrepentant of heinous crimes..... in self-defense.
..... in times of war.
....... if it will save a child.
Murder *IS* okay when enough people come together in agreement. We, as a society, glorify the shaping of boyish minds into brave soldiers, who go to other countries ready to kill. We, as a society, knowingly send many of them to their deaths, hoping they will beat the odds and return alive.
The point is this: We humans allow the unallowable, forgive the unforgivable when it comes to murder when we decide it is in our best interests. We make it 'okay' by vilifying and objectifying a 'common foe', who will stop at nothing to destroy us.
We make it clear that it is kill or be killed. If we do not act, they will vanquish us, they will harm our children, they will dance on our graves, etc, etc.
The violent rhetoric is merely the tip of the iceberg. The hate-talk industry has long been vilifying, objectifying, marginalizing "the liberals" for years. The same way they do Arabs, Gays... not because of what we do, but because of who we are.
We verbally attack the right because we see them abdicating power to big money interests. They favor big corporations who are sending our jobs over seas... and companies who are replacing full time jobs with benefits with part time jobs without, because it's cheaper. Companies that are taking out life insurance policies on their employees for their own benefit. Companies expertly wringing every cent we've made or ever will make out of us through predatory lending tactics. And all the while they're cutting funding for education, and programs that would help us be a smarter more capable country.
And... what evils are the Left guilty of? A little too much compassion? A few too many social help programs? Unions? Being educated? Being pro-choice, anti-gun, anti-war? Being for affordable healthcare that's NOT run by former pirates and mobsters?
The rhetoric they use is that the Left is attacking them, that we are threatening the safety of their children, that we are unrepentantly guilty of heinous crimes [like not showing unconditional love for our country always, or because we overspend due to bleeding-heartedness, communism/socialism, etc, etc].
Right-wing hate-talk is *daily* laying accusations against the Left that is synonymous with the justifications used to allow state-sanctioned murder.
It's not just the 'violent' rhetoric that needs to stop... what needs to stop is the right-wing propaganda machine that is successfully peddling a compelling justification for civil war.

I'll warn you now, I've been making myself so hungry organising the pictures for this post - so if you have a sandwich handy you might want to grab it now!
I was recently invited along a dining event at The Light in Leeds. I've seen a few posts in the past about previous similar events but have never managed to attend before so was very pleases to finally be able to pop along to one! The idea of the dining events is that you get to visit a different one of the centre's awesome food venues for each course and on this occasion we began our evenings at Browns for pre-dinner mocktails.
The delightful drink we were provided with was a tasty combination of mint, ginger beer and dandelion and burdock cordial served over ice in a rather fetching tin tankard. It was delicious, and as I'm often driving it's lovely to have so many tasty non-alcoholic drinks available these days as I can only drink so much coke!
After drinks, we were whisked off to Predator Nutrition for a tasting session. When I was told it would be healthy starters at a nutrition place, I did not expect it to be brownies and ice cream and I couldn't be more pleased! Of course, these were healthier, protein-filled versions of the tasty treats but no less delicious for it.
We were also given a little tour of the store and introduced to the wide range or products available for fat burning, muscle building or whatever other fitness goals you may aspire to. It may come as no surprise that I had my eye on the healthier versions of various sweet sauces and syrups - less bad stuff in them mean you can have more of it, yum!
For the main course we headed towards Prezzo for some of their lighter Italian options. I've never been to Prezzo before but I used to live pretty much next door to one when I was a poor university student and always thought they were taunting me with their gorgeous looking food that I could always smell as I walked past on my way to buy my smartprice noodles.
Any inkling I might have had that the 'lighter' options would be a waste of a lovely restaurant experience were quickly pushed aside when we were brought out dish after dish of beautiful looking food.
Pizzas (on a lighter flatbread base), pastas and plenty of salad were all on offer. I didn't try everything (my lifelong aversion to any and all seafood meant I didn't touch dishes like the crabcakes, salmon pizza and lobster pasta, but I was assured they were all great by my more adventurous companions), but everything I did try was fresh and tasty, bursting with colour and flavour.
The extra good news is the boyfriend, who usually avoids Italian food like the plague because of his aversion to tomatoes, found plenty he could eat too - which means I might be able to convince him to head back without too much trouble!
Once we had eaten our fill, it was time to visit Café Rouge for dessert. We were presented with some adorable little mini desserts, including a passionfruit cheesecake and a delightfully oozy chocolate fondant, but the real star for me was the Peach and Champagne Sorbet.
This guilt-free treat was the perfect way to end our meal, and I'd definitely go back to Café Rouge just for this (ok, not just for this - they seem to have loads on the menu I'd like to try, but it's a good excuse!)
This was all just a taster of the various dining options at The Light, definitely a good placed to head if you are in Leeds and hungry!
Big thanks to the Light and all the venues mentioned for having us over!
* Meal provided free of charge

PBX Extension Numbers
Extensions can be in the same office or scattered all over the world and each extension can be called 'internally' by dialling its three digit short code or externally by adding DDIs.
It doesn't matter where they are physically located; they always work in the same way wherever - calls between extensions are always free no matter where they are.
To purchase PBX Extension Numbers please click on the button below.
How do I set up extension numbers on my phones?
Each of your phones will need to be setup with the extension, rather than registering to the main account. If your account number was 30040041, then you would setup your phone to register to 30040041*200 if you wanted the phone to be extension 200. You also have to change the password for the phone; each extension has its own password. You can check the passwords for each extension here, if you're logged in as the PBX administrator.
If you're using hardware telephones or adaptors please check here for setup guides: but remember to login to our website using the email address and password for the extension you wish to setup. You can check the email addresses and passwords here, if you're logged in as the PBX administrator.
For the Xlite Softphone, either run the wizard and input the username in the above format, or, open the softphone, press F8 and put the new account number into the username and authorisatoin user boxes. Also, change the password to the one for the extension you're setting up.
How do I setup the PBX?
We've made it extremely easy to set up and use. It's all managed by you on our web site through one account.
Firstly decide how many extensions you need; don't worry about getting it wrong - if you take too few you just add more, if you find you have too many you remove them. We don't lock you into a contract - the most a mistake can cost you is £1! You can have any number of extensions but you need, up to 798 on one account.
Once you've decided, click on the Package Builder button below, fill in the Virtual PBX box with the number of extensions you want and press the build my package button. This takes you to the payments page. Once you've completed the details and pressed the 'Make Payment' button you're ready to set-up the extensions.
Your virtual extension numbers start at 200 and each needs to be assigned a name, an email address (nb this address is where the extension holder's Voice to Email Voicemail will be directed) and a password.
Once you have done this, you decide how each extension will work with incoming calls. You'll see that an incoming call can either ring all extensions or just one. So if you want a single individual to answer the phone say, your receptionist, choose that option; otherwise choose 'ring all'.
If you want individual extensions to receive incoming calls directly to their extension, you just add another incoming telephone number to your account from the Package Builder by pressing the 'add more phone numbers' button and mapping it to the extension.
Speak to a Customer Services Representative
Voipfone can seem very confusing at first, but don't worry, this is quite normal and we are here to help! One of the great strengths of VoIP is that it can do so much more than an ordinary telephone network whilst costing an awful lot less. In practise Voipfone's services can be as simple as making a telephone call or as complicated as using a large business switchboard in several countries but anything new takes a bit of getting used to so if you have any questions please feel free to give us a call on 020 7043 5555

Heart disease, the nation's number one health concern, continues to encourage consumers to try out new and better methods for improving heart health. Along with a heart-healthy diet and regular exercise, there is increasing interest in cholesterol-lowering dietary supplements, giving retailers a strong impetus to provide their customers with a diverse range of well-researched heart health supplements.1-2 In order to provide consumers with the most effective cholesterol lowering supplements, supplement business owners capable of keeping up with the latest, high-quality research studies have a more strategic advantage.
One such helpful study was recently published in the Journal of Clinical Lipidology. The study suggested that soy protein is superior to milk protein in lowering total cholesterol and non-HDL (non-high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol. While the mechanism behind the benefit remains unclear, this study, conducted by Solae backs up other studies that also exhibit the cholesterol-lowering effects of soy protein.3
The control group included men and women between the ages of 18 to 79 whom, while suffering from moderately high cholesterol levels, had no prior history of receiving any lipid altering treatments. The participants were given a new diet to follow which included either soy or milk protein supplements. Both of the groups showed a marked decline in total cholesterol, LDL-C, nonhigh-density lipoprotein cholesterol and apolipoprotein B. At the end of the study, researchers observed that soy protein was seen to reduce all markers (except LDL-C) significantly more than milk protein. Total cholesterol, in particular, was seen to have decreased much more from soy protein than from milk protein (by more than double). The results of this research support years of studies showing soy's cholesterol-lowering properties, dating back to 1999. Back then, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) established a heart health claim for soy protein that allowed food and supplement manufacturers to state, "25 grams of soy protein a day, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease." 4 Since then, there has been a growing number of food products containing soy protein as a functional ingredient. Extracted from the soybean, soy protein is found in an assortment of foods, including soups, imitation meats, powders, cheeses, breakfast cereals, pastas and many more dietary items (such as soy supplements).
Soy Protein's Heart Health Benefits
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), high blood pressure and cholesterol are the two major risk factors for heart attacks, strokes and related vascular diseases. A press briefing in February 2011 from Dr. Thomas Frieden, the director of CDC, reported that nearly half of all adults in the United States (47 percent or approximately 100 million U.S. adults) have either high cholesterol or high blood pressure.5-6
Heart disease is one of the utmost health concerns today. Fortunately, soy is seen as a vital nutrient for supporting heart health. According to Global Industry Analysts (GIA), a global market research company based in California, the increasingly aging population is seen as the major force behind high levels of soy food sales around the world. People between 35 and 54 years of age are particularly interested in heart health supplements.7
With sales of soy products expected to soar, this is the perfect time for supplement business owners to consider launching new additions to their product line or enhancing their existing soy products with a custom protein powder. Soy protein can be used to regulate healthy cholesterol and blood pressure. Studies show that a fermented form of soy, called natto-kinase, may be able to help lower blood pressure.8 A high-quality supplement manufacturer can help retailers design a comprehensive heart health supplement for nutritionally supporting heart health.
Target Markets for Soy Protein Supplements
Soy is rich in protein, high in essential fatty acids, low in saturated fats, and contains numerous vitamins, minerals (particularly iron and magnesium), isoflavones and fiber. Soy contains all of the essential amino acids and offers a protein intake which is easily digestible and low in calories and carbohydrates.9 Soy protein also makes a convenient alternative to traditional protein sources such as meat and milk. It is a cheaper option compared to whey protein, derived from milk. Because of its high nutritive profile, it can be used to meet diverse health needs.
Soy protein for women.Special soy supplements can be designed to meet the special nutritional requirements of women undergoing menopause. Soy is believed to relieve menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, as well as minimize bone loss, a common consequence of menopause.10 Trends include combining herbal or vitamin and mineral supplements with soy to address hormone-related women's health issues.
Soy protein for weight management. Soy's high fiber content makes soy an effective supplement for managing weight by producing feelings of satiety or "fullness". 11
Soy protein for prostate health. Ongoing studies are testing soy's positive effect on prostate health and its possible prevention of several types of cancer. 12
Soy protein is popular with health enthusiasts, serious athletes/bodybuilders, vegans and those who are lactose intolerant (an estimated 30 million to 50 million Americans).13
Sprouted soy powder made from germinating soy seeds has an enhanced nutritive profile, offering a rich source of vitamin and mineral chelates along with a highly-digestible form of protein and antioxidants. This form has great potential and can be developed for use in a variety of ways including custom protein powder.
According to a survey conducted by the United Soybean Board in 2010, 84 percent of the consumers who participated said they rated soy products as a healthy addition to their diet. About one-third (31 percent) said they actively seek out products that contain soy. The specific health benefits that attract consumers to soy products are:14
- heart health (25 percent, up 18 percent from 2009)
- low-fat (17 percent)
- high-protein (16 percent)
- good-for-you (14 percent)
- cholesterol-lowering (10 percent)
Manufacturing Soy Supplements
In 2007, the National Agricultural Research Organization (Japan) developed deodorized soy powder, making soy an extremely adaptable nutraceutical. With greater advances in technology, soy protein can now be manufactured in a variety of products, such as soy-derived isoflavone supplements, sprouted soy powder, soy-based snack bars and custom protein powders that blend well with any liquid.
The global soy food market experienced six percent growth from 2006 to 2007, according to GIA. Despite anti-soy allegations that did not hold the scrutiny of research and investigation,15 the soy industry continues to thrive, being driven by an increasingly health-conscious society with a greater awareness of the multiple health benefits of soy. The global soy market is predicted to reach $43 billion by 2015, according to GIA.
Soy protein shakes are the most popular delivery form and a custom protein powder can be manufactured in many varieties of combinations and flavors. Other forms include tablets and encapsulated soy isoflavone nutritional supplements. Contact a high-quality soy protein supplement manufacturer to find out how you can provide your customers with superior-quality soy supplements to meet the health needs of a wide range of target markets.

Dir: George Clooney; starring: Paul Giamatti, George Clooney, Philip Seymour Hoffman.
(15 cert; 101 mins)
George Clooney's The Ides of March is an acidic, fast-moving political drama of betrayal and disillusion. Ryan Gosling plays Stephen Meyers, the press secretary for Governor Morris (Clooney), who is running in the primary race for the Democratic presidential nomination.
Meyers believes in the integrity of Morris (who eloquently backs almost every political view one imagines would be dear to Clooney's own heart). Winning the campaign – by almost any means –becomes his obsession, although he respects the governor's scruples.
As the campaign continues, however, each character reveals his Achilles heel, and is netted in compromises because of it.
Gosling is excellent as Meyers, a complex character possessed of charm and intuition, both an idealist and an operator, yet running notably short on the milk of human kindness.
He begins an affair with Molly (Evan Rachel Wood), a young intern, but even during sex he cannot help his eyes from wandering to television reports of the governor's progress. When she confesses to an error that compromises the campaign, he acts ruthlessly, only to find himself subject to similar harsh judgment from Paul Zara (Philip Seymour Hoffman), Morris's campaign manager.
The Ides of March, which has its roots in Beau Willimon's play Farragut North, translates elegantly to the screen. It is razor-sharp on the double-crosses and quick-fire dialogue of politics, and is cleverly structured to reflect a deepening loss of innocence.
Watch it and weep.

New York: Hugh Jackman has once again dismissed rumors suggesting that he is gay, insisting that the constant speculation about his alleged "sham marriage" affects him and his spouse, Deborra-Lee Furness.
During an interview with the August issue of Good Housekeeping, the ` Wolverine` star said that people would believe whatever they want to believe, the New York Post reported.
Jackman has been happily married to 57-year-old Furness since 1996 and he said that he gets "sad" for the people who suspect otherwise.
He asserted that he worries for wife and does not want her perturbed.
Jackman insisted that Furness is a justice freak and when she hears the gossip, she finds it hard to shut up about it.
He added that he finds the issue frustrating since his better half doesn`t have a voice in the situation.
Furness, 57, told Australia`s '60 Minutes' in July that the constant rumors of her hubby`s sexuality are a lie.
She asserted that she finds the questions offensive and annoying and if Jackman was gay, he would say he`s gay.

Rudabegorz Restaurant Haunting
Rutabegorz situated in Old Towne Orange, was built in 1915. It was once home of early citrus ranchers Daniel and Annie Crawford and their children. The spacious dining room and patio offers a place to relax and catch one's breath while "antiquing" in Old Towne Orange. The place took its name from a spin on the word for the unloved turnip — the rutabaga. Over time Rutabegorz has evolved through numerous menu additions and changing consumer tastes over the years into today's full service health conscious restaurant. The house has served as Tony's Mexican Restaurant and the Golden Maize, a South American restaurant prior to Rutabegorz.
one-story building with a cellar is a very haunted location. The
restaurant seems to cater as much to the spirited clientele as it does
to the living. The owner and staff have had so many unexplained events
take place over the years that they told us to "take our pick" as far as
which ones we want to use for our book; so we did just that. Besides
the spirits affectionately called Danny and Annie (after the original
owners, the Crawfords), there is also a little boy and young girl who
also make this restaurant their home. Comeau remarked that when she
opened for business in 2000, things immediately began to happen and the
resulting events proved to be a pleasant welcome.
to Comeau, the first day they opened, nothing seemed to work and
numerous things began falling off the wall. The Coke machine suddenly
malfunctioned and then blew up; the cash register wouldn't open; several
doors refused to stay shut; the electricity in the house stopped
working; and, there were other small events that led them to conclude
that they were not alone within the confines of their new establishment.
The immediate collective sense was that for the restaurant concept to
work, the living and the dead would have to find a way to co-exist. In
time, the spirits seemed to accept their new owner and everyone now
occupies the former home in peace and harmony; that is, most of the
A prior owner had two children who constantly reported seeing a little boy walk out of the kitchen toward them. This occurred at the same time each day. The owners were never frightened; just curious. Over time both children just got used to their phantom playmate as did their parents who basically adopted the phantom boy. Numerous staff and guests have reportedly witnessed the spirits named Danny and Annie walk through the corridors and rooms in the house. The specters are usually dressed in Period clothing and although mindful of those watching them, pay little attention to the living and go about their other-worldly duties as if the house still belonged to their family. There have also been reports of muffled sounds and unusual noises coming from unoccupied areas of the house; strong feelings of being watched by invisible eyes throughout the establishment; and, an occasional glimpse of the phantom inhabitants taking a stroll through their former residence. We heartily recommend that you drop in and have some delicious food and ask about their unseen visitors. The owner wants us to qualify the phantom aspect of the restaurant by stating emphatically that the spirits are always around but are never malicious; just a playful group of wandering souls who call Rutabegorz their home.

Yechon - Annandale, VA
The restaurant is so bright, and is glowing with a bunch of neon signs, so it's hard to miss for the road. There is parking all around the place however it can get filled up pretty fast.
There were a couple of awards on their walls from The Washington Post Magazine and AOL. I always look for awards at restaurants because it means that the place is most likely good.
The interior decor is made of of lots of wood. The lighting is bright, and clean with a sushi bar on one of side of the restaurant.
We arrived around 1:30am and it was already packed! There are a lot of tables packed into a decent sized room.
They have an extensive menu with Korean and Japanese food. I love menu's with pictures because if you can't decide what to eat by the descriptions, just point and order whatever looks delicious. Also while sitting there looking at the menu, the place smelled soooo good. Everyone else's food makes you even hungrier and more eager to start eating.
It was cold that night so we all got water and hot tea for free.
The bf and another guy friend ordered some 'Soju'. It is a Korean alcohol usually made from rice, barley, sweet potato, tapioca or other random things. Its a clear liquid that is taken in shots.
In Korean restaurants after you order your food they give you 'banchan', which are small appetizer/side dishes to eat while you wait and to eat with your entrees. This place is AWESOME and gives you around 15 different kinds. There was kim chi (fermented spicy cabbage), potato salad, bean sprouts, pickled vegetables, acorn jelly, etc.
My friend ordered the 'Galbi Tang,' which is a beef rib soup with vegetables and duk (slightly chewy rice disks)'. It is a non-spicy dish.
The boys ordered 'Bulgogi', which is seasoned, finely slices of beef. The tables are equipped with table grills, but they cooked it in the back and brought it out for us. I think it is because it's faster for them since it gets so crowded in there.
My cousin ordered 'Pa Jun' which is the "Korean Pancake". It's a flat, pan-fried dish made with flour, and vegetables. It was crispy, however I've had better.
I ordered 'Mandoo Guk,' which is a beef dumpling and duk soup. It was really good, not spicy, and filling cuz the bowl was HUGE.
Boys like to eat meat, so they ordered more! This time it was 'Jae Yook Bokum,' which was a spicy, smokey, dish of fried sliced pork with onions and other vegetables. It was really good and flavorful.
My cousin also ordered some shrimp and vegetable tempura. It is a dish where shrimp and vegetables are fried in a Japanese flour batter.
As you can see the table was full of food!
The restaurant is not that cheap. I apologize for not having prices but it was late at night! Korean Barbecued dishes can run around $18 and the soups were around $10. It gets really crowded in there, so don't be surprised if there is a wait at any time of the night. The portions are generous, and it's a great place to come with friends. I would recommend it if you're craving great tasting food especially after a night of drinking and dancing.

text: I agree... plus its not like you can even port portions of the code over to and from the two environments very easily, since you have to use VB.Net or C#/VC++.Net on the Windows side, and Obj-C on Mac. Granted, you can use C++ code in XCode, so theoretically if you wanted to segment some of your background processing routines/classes from your framework calls, you could have those classes be portable. But I've never attempted using C++ in an otherwise Obj-C program. (sure you could use Java for cross-platform capabilities, but not really in this instance. Any hard-core processing must be done by a fully compiled language, or you're an idiot)

By Bill Bonnstetter
For years, companies have been searching for a "silver bullet" when it comes to hiring superior performers for specific jobs. Increasingly as of late, we are hearing hiring managers from large companies complain, "I cannot find anyone to fill these empty positions." Perhaps it is not the available workforce that is letting them down. Instead, it could be the outdated hiring methods still being used by those in charge of hiring.
Times have changed, and so have hiring techniques. No longer can those who hire rely on the old rubrics of education and experience as the one-two-punch of uncovering ideal candidates. If education and experience always leads to superior performance, then all people with an education and experience would be successful. We know not all lawyers, doctors, nurses and CPAs are successful even though they have degrees and certificates that demonstrate proficiency. It is estimated that a majority – some research states as high as 80 percent — of all people hired are interviewed based on education and experience. According to hiring website Monster.com, a tendency to hire sales people based on experience alone most likely means hiring managers are side-stepping the hard work of developing and training staff properly.
Hiring managers or business owners who instead adopt a multi-dimensional view of resumes and candidates are more likely to hire the correct people.
People have many different attributes and talents such as behavior, skills, motivators, education, experience and worldviews that will predispose them to success in a given job. The first step – before hiring begins – is to reflect on what this job will require. Create a comprehensive list of these skills, talents and attributes, not based on a person but based on the job itself. Think about what the job would say, if it could talk. Use these attributes as the main screening factors.
Once that is complete, load up on these three (silver) bullet items:
Analyze behaviors – What behaviors do your candidates routinely engage in? Every job is unique and can require a different set of behaviors. Sales people should have a degree of competitiveness that might show up in the interview by pointing out past achievements or through a participation in sports. Other behaviors such as decisiveness or analytical thinking can also be ferreted out during screening, and can be major advantages to the job as you've defined it.
Understand motivators – Is your candidate motivated by financial success? These types of people are best in sales or commission type positions. By helping others or making other people better? Consider these types of candidates better for an inside sales or customer service role.
Assess personal skills – Is your candidate passionate about continuous learning? Then a role as a social media manager or a researcher, which both require constant inquiry and learning in a fast-paced setting, might be the best fit.
While just these three silver bullet approaches will help increase the likelihood of hiring a person ideally suited to your position, the more aspects you can screen, the better your company's hiring will become. Investing in the process of hiring with your time and patience will ultimately pay off with better hires, who are more suited to success and superior performance on the job. In addition, with these employees in place, companies will have lower turnover and experience less lost income associated with dipping retention.
Finally, instead of lamenting the lack of quality candidates, wouldn't it be nice to be able to say, "I've found perfect candidates for each of my open positions!"

Isolation? We don't need no stinking isolation! A follow up.
Not satisfied with bringing just two people stricken with Ebola directly from Africa, the Obamanation has invited 51 delegations of African countries -many of which are involved in the Ebola epidemic – to a high-level event hosted by President Obama.
Many downtown Washington D.C. hotels are jammed full of dignitaries from Ebola plagued African nations. Now, what harm could a thing like that do? Let's see. Presidents, Secretaries of state, Bureaucrats and supporting staffs, and of course family members, many from areas of epidemic Ebola (with an asymptomatic but infectious period of 2 to 21 days). Nope, I see no cause for alarm, do you? "During the August 4-6 Summit President Obama will be welcoming leaders from across the African continent to this nation's capital for a three-day U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit, the first such event of its kind.
The three-day summit will focus on issues including democracy building and (I am not kidding) public health! This Summit is the largest event any U.S. President has held with African heads of state (ever)." And the first African-American President will likely also be the first American President of any ethnic persuasion to orchestrate an Ebola outbreak in the new world!

Felted Mice
Ramblings of a Witch tagged me with the task of coming up with three blogs that stand above the others as my favorites and that I cannot do. Every blog on my side bar is special in some way to me; that's why it's listed.
Yesterday was Sweater Day . A day to honor that man who asked me as a child, "Won't you be my neighbor?" I loved Mr. Roger's neighborhood. I remember parts of the show very vividly like Miss Lion or the Trolly.
But see that is what the people on my sidebar are: neighbors..friends. Through our blogs we've interacted in some way. Some of you are so close I consider you family.
So last night I asked my DH who he would list. And of course he said Sallee (who is having that contest two posts down) and Christine who are like sisters in other states. If I had to pick a brother I would want it to be John who is not only funky fresh but he is a jack of all things fiberly. My family knows him on sight due to the fact we watched him on Knitty Gritty a few times.
Then there is Kim who's visual eye-candy of a blog has me believing that hot tea is brewing in front of me while I am knitting too beautiful for words yarn that she spins, dyes...she is just amazing!
Geraldine can fit more interesting things in a post from yummy recipes, to crafts to amazing little tid bits that fill up my appetite for knowledge.
Really I could go on and on because something from each blog on my sidebar pops into my head. Like what an amazing designer Marnie is while having such adorable pups as Panda and Thea. Of course if you are talking cute pups I'd have to include little Moses on Christine's blog and prize winning Skyy and Cleo on Kim's blog.
And I could go on about cats...all the wonderful cats that these people have...because these are vibrant people to me...special friends, net-neighbors and family who I can't survive without. You are my life-line. Your names are inscribed on my heart and I am so thankful that you found your way into my life. :)
I've run out of time I had hoped to list more...but the clock is telling me that clothes are in order if I'm going to leave in 15 minutes.
So Happy Easter, Ostra, Spring Equinox...may the seeds that you plant in your heart grow in abundance throughout this season of life and renewal.
Bright blessings,
P.S. At the top there are my felted mice. Two are stuffed and were given away as gifts yesterday. The man at Starbucks was very surprised to see those little eyes in there...needless to say they thought I should have bunnies not mice in my purse. And all the way home I started thinking about how easy a bunny would be... *grin*
P.P.S. I totally forgot that I wanted to do a contest...I have way too many herbs to store and I want to share them with someone who wants them...and if you are fiberly then I will throw in some yarn too. It makes very ecological shipping material. :)
Ok all you have to do is visit a blog in my side bar that you don't already read...and tell me the first line of their latest post in a comment on this post. Remember a stranger is just a friend you haven't met yet!
Cut off for the contest is next Friday the 28th. I will put your names in a hat and let my son draw one. Good luck. If you are new to the blog; welcome! The list of herbs is in the saffron post and now I really have to run!

The Lodge of the Golden Windhorse has provided the citizens of Compton Dando with splendid fodder for gossip, prompting speculation of arcane rituals and bizarre sexual practices. But with the murder of the commune's leaders, the rumor-mill goes into overdrive. In trying to solve those murders, Chief Inspector Barnaby is less excited than exasperated. The residents of the Windhorse commune may have been seeking the simple life, but they're all concealing complicated pasts-or past lives. Caroline Graham is at her most gleeful when skewering the eccentricities of a closed community, and no one survives unscathed.

Ohio River: Long Water From Point To Point
By Pat Piper
When Thomas Jefferson was about to assign Meriwether Lewis and William Clark to head west in search of a water route to the Pacific Ocean in the early 1800s, he was familiar with their starting point. It was a place called Fort Pitt, with mountains on either side, and where two rivers meet to form a third. Jefferson described that third river, the Ohio, as "the most beautiful river on Earth." As Lewis and Clark flowed along this water highway, they agreed the President was on to something.
In 2011, however, the river was anything but "beautiful." Heavy rains and melting snow in the spring resulted in the Ohio almost exceeding the 1937 record flood stages in many riverfront towns (and major cities).
In this story, we're going to trace the Ohio River, with the help of some friends. This long water trek includes a number of colorful stops along the way with some history, a few observations, personal experiences, and tried-and-true advice from our Trailering Club members, who'll also give us a brief look at the character of people who've seen the Ohio when it's been beautiful and when it';s been anything but. We begin at the river's end, in Cairo, Illinois, following its flow 981 miles back to Pittsburgh.
Mile Marker 981: Cairo, Illinois
Here, the Ohio River is wider than the Mississippi. Cairo is the most southern point of Illinois and the site of Fort Defiance during the Civil War. It was in Cairo where all boats passing Fort Defiance were stopped and searched for goods that were being shipped to Confederate troops. Cairo is mentioned in Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn when the two boys try to get to the side of the river where Jim won't be sought after as a runaway slave. Huck is able to ward off bounty hunters by saying the other guy in their tent (Jim) has smallpox. The men quickly decide to search elsewhere.
Cairo Boat Ramp: Fort Defiance State Park
Mile Marker 935: Paducah, Kentucky
Not only is this considered the "Quilting Capital of the World" (April's "Quilt Week" brings in more than 30,000 visitors every year), but Paducah is known for the Lowertown Art District (www.lowertownartdistrict.com) where artists from across the country were given a break on rent to set up shop and produce paintings, sculptures, crafts, and pottery. Because Paducah was literally swept away during a record 1937 flood, construction began two years later on a flood wall that exceeds the water levels reached in 1937 by three feet. Paducah is where the Tennessee River empties into the Ohio. Kentucky Lake is about 70 miles from Paducah on the Tennessee River and part of the 4,500-mile Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway (the Tenn-Tom).
Paducah Boat Ramp: Broadway at the Ohio River, free.
Mile Marker 881: Cave-in-Rock State Park, Illinois
This 65-acre park along the Illinois side has a lot of history and all of it centers around the 55-foot-wide cave set in a limestone cliff. Around 1800, Samuel Mason, a former officer in George Washington's Revolutionary Army, used the cave as a tavern and later as a base from which he and his gangs would launch surprise raids on boat travelers moving food and products down river.
Cave-in-Rock Boat Ramp: There are two ramps in the state park. Both are free and trailer can be left overnight.
Mile Marker 791.5: Evansville, Indiana
Ron Riecken of TowBoatUS Evansville was friends with the late John Hartford, who wrote "Gentle On My Mind" for Glen Campbell in 1967. After piloting steamships with Hartford for a few years along the Ohio, Riecken went to work running the Inland Marina on the river, and for the past decade has owned TowBoatUS Evansville.
"People may not be aware of this, but they numbered the mile markers backward on the Ohio River," he says. "Since they started in Pittsburgh, that's where they started the numbering, but most mile markers begin at the mouth of the river, in this case Cairo, Illinois, and work upstream." Riecken is correct; Mile Marker 0 on the Mississippi is at Head of Passes, Louisiana, 95 miles south of New Orleans where it empties into the Gulf of Mexico.
Inland Marina is home for LST 325, the only operating World War II Landing Ship Tank still in existence (there's a second one in Muskegon, Michigan, that remains moored). LSTs were built in Evansville and designed to transport troops, tanks, and supplies onto enemy shores. The ship, part of the 1944 D-Day invasion, makes a few journeys up and down the Ohio every year for events marking chapters of World War II history.
Evansville Bend is considered the sharpest turn along the entire river. The local United States Power Squadrons, of which Riecken is a charter member, has a burgee featuring "the bend."
Evansville Boat Ramps: Angel Mounds, Mile Marker 786, City Front, Mile Marker 792, Dog Town, Mile Marker 797
Mile Marker 665: Leavenworth, Indiana
The Ohio River flooded in 1937, wiping out the residents of Leavenworth. Within a year, town officials were at work rebuilding Leavenworth, at the top of a cliff, rather than in its original location near the shoreline.
Leavenworth Boat Ramp: At the foot of West Street in the former Lock and Dam 44.
Mile Marker 606: Louisville, Kentucky
This is the point in the Ohio River story where boats had a lot of problems because a series of falls destroyed numerous hulls. As the Ohio became all the more valuable for shipping goods, the first canal (1830) was built on the river to accommodate safe passage of goods by boat. In Clarksville, Indiana, just across the river, Ohio Falls State Park is home to 300-million-year-old fossils that are visible in the limestone. Trailering Club member Jeff Nicholas brought his boat to Louisville to get a first-hand look at the Thunder Over Louisville weekend (every April) featuring boat races, fireworks on the river, and the Blue Angels in the air. When he arrived, however, he got a firsthand look at what happens during heavy spring rainfalls. "Cox Park is a very nice area," he says looking back at the boat ramp he first hoped to use. "It's just up river from the Louisville city center. Trouble is, the storm had brought the river level up 8 feet or more and the ramp was covered with debris, the dock was totally under water, the river was running at better than 8 mph and there was trash in the river from telephone poles to the sides of buildings. I wasn't about to put my boat in the water at this place." Nicholas was able to launch the following day, though not on the Ohio. He trailered the boat to Lake Barkley, just south of Paducah, where the Tennessee River meets the Ohio.
Louisville Boat Ramps:: Cox Park, free, Waterfront Park, to the west of I-65 bridge crossing the river, Riverview Park to the southwest
Mile Marker 464: Cincinnati, Ohio
Cincinnati's Eden Park marks the Ohio River's halfway point. Of the nine bridges crossing the Ohio between Cincinnati and Kentucky, one is "the color purple," literally. Now called "the Purple People Bridge," it's a former L&N railroad bridge, painted purple, that's become a half-mile long pedestrian walkway between the two states. Right next to the Ohio side of the Purple People Bridge is Serpentine Wall, a gathering place for visitors and residents as well as an architectural variation of the common flood wall commonly seen in every river town.
Cincinnati Boat Ramps:
Schmidt Field, Mile Marker 466.6, $10/day 513-321-0862

Riverside Ramp, Mile Marker 475.4, $10/day 513-921-5657
Mile Marker 249.5: Pomeroy, Ohio
This town of 2,000 residents has two notations in Ripley's Believe It Or Not: Because of the hilly landscape, the Meigs County Courthouse has a ground level entrance on all three floors and it's the only city in America without a four-way intersection.
Pomeroy Boat Ramp: Riverside Amphitheatre Courtesy Dock is one of 11 launch ramps in Meigs County with Ohio River access
Mile Marker 172.2: Marietta, Ohio
Founded in 1788, Marietta is the oldest city in Ohio. It's strategically located where the Muskingham River flows into the Ohio. For this reason, one of Marietta's first industries was shipbuilding, including numerous boats built for WW1 and WW2.
Before 21 dams and locks were built along the Ohio River, ships bound for, and from, the Mississippi could only operate six months out of the year because water levels reached depths of 18 inches during summer droughts. Today, the United States Army Corps of Engineers operates the dams and locks. The area between two dams, usually about 50 miles apart on average is called a "pool." Locks on the Ohio River have two chambers: One is for commercial traffic and measures 1,200 feet long by 110 feet wide; and the other, designed for recreational boats, is 600 feet long by 110 feet wide. Trailering Club member Wayne Cook got a first-hand look at the smaller lock while cruising upriver from Marietta to Pittsburgh. See his account in our sidebar on page 00.
Marietta Boat Ramp: Indian Acres Park on the Muskingham River
Mile Marker 0: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
This is the beginning of "the most beautiful river on earth," where the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers meet to form the Ohio. Terry Grantz, publisher of www.boatpittsburgh.com, notes that many boaters attend Pirate games on the water and if they're not catching baseballs out of PNC Park, they can follow the games on the stadium Jumbo Tron that can be viewed from the river. "There is a public wharf right outside PNC Park that boaters can tie up to for free to attend the game or any of the restaurant/bars that are in the vicinity," he says. "Also, there's another wharf down river in front of Heinz Field that gets filled up for Steelers games and concerts. We like to call it 'boatgating' or 'transomgating.'"

Locking Dramas And Rule Of The Road
By Wayne Cook
Before we left home, I looked up what I could on locks including the proper procedures to pass through them, which included having 100 feet of rope. Don't expect the lockmaster to toss you a line. While we were going north, we came to Willow Lock, and were behind a large barge that was just entering the lock. I called on the radio to the lockmaster, and very carefully requested passage. His response was, "going up or down river?" Oh yeah, I forgot that this did make a difference and I hadn't told him in my request. Startled, it took us a second to figure this out. Finally, I said, "Up river." After a little wait, he replied, "OK, go on in."
At this point, my wife and I stared at each other with a bewildered look on our face. I then picked up the radio mike and said, "Where do we go in? Behind the barge?" It completely filled the lock. He answered back, "To the left is a smaller lock, go in there." We didn't even see that lock from where we were in the river. There was a complete little lock next to the big lock that the barge went into.
At that point we noticed that the traffic light at the front of the lock was green. Once we got inside the lock, our small 18.5' boat seemed really small. At this particular lock, there was no one to take a rope. Instead, we saw pylons (bitts) at the water level so we hooked a rope on. With my wife in the bow and myself in the rear, we were afraid of what would happen, so we were both ready to untie if we needed to. Inch by inch the bitts went up with the water. By the end of the lock ride, I'd let off the rope and was just holding onto the pylon with a slight grip of my hand. My wife let her rope off completely and was just looking around. This was a very relaxing ride. We went up about 30 feet or so. I was watching the depth sounder change an inch or so at a time.
The US Army Corps of Engineers has this advice for securing your boat to mooring bitts in Ohio River locks:
There are two kinds of pins on the lock walls to tie the boats off on. There are stationary mooring bits and there are mooring bits that float in channels in the walls. Boat operators should always try to use the floating mooring bits, as these will usually not require the operator to make adjustments to the lines as the water levels in the chamber change.
Flood Walls
Most Ohio River towns are located at either a higher elevation than the river or have flood walls to protect the downtown from the always-expected springtime floods as rainfall increases and snowfall melts. While flood walls in each city were certainly tested this past spring, these structures exist because of what happened in January 1937 when the river kept rising and destroyed homes, businesses and, in some cases, lives in riverfront communities along the 981-mile length. Once the 14-25 foot walls were constructed however, residents in each community talked about feeling "enclosed" and removed from the water. So, in many towns, like Paducah, Kentucky, artists have been put to work and today, the walls keep the river from flooding, while giving residents and visitors a quick history lesson of events that occurred decades and centuries earlier close to where they're standing.

"Cursed" is the first book in the Alpha's Warlock series and I like it a lot.
Readers get some previews into the back story of the war between the Witches and Warlocks versus the rest of the Paranormal's.
This story begins years after the war is over. The tensions though are still high. Terry senses Clyde. Clyde is a werewolf under a curse and Terry is able to remove it. The attraction between Terry and Clyde heats up to a boiling point. Their trust builds slowly. At the end of the book there is quite a twist in the plot that I didn't see coming.
I liked "Cursed" so much that I picked up the second book "Resurrected". I want to see where Terry and Clyde go with their relationship.
Kris Sawyer is a new author and "Cursed" is this author's first book in the MM Paranormal romance genre. I look forward to Kris' next book.
Clyde Barrington is a werewolf with a curse on his head. Every night, he shifts from human to wolf and lives the life of a lonely predator, never fully accepted by his pack. When he saves a handsome stranger from a fire, everything changes.
In a world divided by the ancient feud between werewolves and warlocks, Clyde and Terry must learn to trust each other. When wolves start to disappear, their bond is tested by the fear of a pack now balanced on the edge of destruction.
Amidst a web of lies, deceits and betrayals, Clyde must decide where his loyalties lie, and choose between a forbidden love and the ties that bind him to his brothers. Is Terry an enemy to the pack, or the saviour that will lead them out of the darkness?

My Resolutions and Whatnot For The Coming Year
Pressure Cooker Hungarian Goulash
Another year has passed, so it's time once again to look ahead to the new year, and make promises (hopefully not empty ones) for the upcoming twelve months on Pressure Cooker Convert.
One promising thing I have noticed in my own anecdotal evidence is that it seems that this pressure cooker thing is catching on! I have noticed an increase in traffic to this site, and I would bet that all pressure cooker sites have experienced the same thing.
Again basing my facts on my own totally unscientific research, I am guessing that many folks received a shiny new pressure cooker for the holidays and are looking for recipes to inaugurate what will soon become their favorite appliance. If so, hopefully you will find something here to break in that new toy!
My Quick Everyday Chili
Once again, New Year's Day was the highest traffic day of the year on my site, mainly for my Black-eyed Pea recipe. If any of you tried it, I hope it turned out well and you enjoyed it. Growing up, I figured the whole black-eyed peas on New Year's day was some obscure superstition that only my mother knew about, but judging by how many people end up on this blog after searching for "black eyed pea recipes", I was apparently very wrong about that.
And once again, I promise to post on a more regular basis this year. After finally wrapping up a couple other projects I had been working on, I should have more time to concentrate on the important things, like pressure cooking, of course!
I have also noticed that the majority of people new to pressure cooking seem to be getting electric pressure cookers. Given this information, I think that this is the year that I am going to break down and add an electric cooker to my stable (Trying to decide between this one and this one). This way, I will be able to better answer the inquiries I get about how to adapt my recipes to an electric pressure cooker.
I already have a couple recipes in the pipeline for the beginning of the year.
For Christmas Day, I made Hungarian Goulash (pictured at top), which was one of the tastiest things I have ever made in my pressure cooker! Unfortunately, with everything that was going on over the holidays, I didn't have the time to take step-by-step photos as I was making it, so I will have to make it again so that I can feature it on this blog (I know, it's a tough job, but I can power through it).
I also have a Chili recipe that I will have up soon, which my wife seems to think is one of the best things I have ever made (and it is a very quick, weekday night meal to boot).
Did you receive a new pressure cooker over the holidays? If so, I would be interested in hearing which one you got, and how you are liking it so far. Let me know in the comments section.
Stay tuned for all this and more, and Happy New Year to all!
