Washington, DC (June 8, 2012) – Occidental Grill & Seafood, located on Pennsylvania Avenue just a few hundred feet from The White House, has named Baker as its Chef de Cuisine to serve under longtime Executive Chef Rodney Scruggs.
Baker's first offerings are now featured on the updated menus at the Occidental. New dinner items include a Salted Crusted Porterhouse Steak 32 oz. for two and the Sweet Pea Ravioli appetizer. The Pan Roasted Fennel Pollen Crusted Yellowfin Tuna is also popular with guests.
The Lunch Menu includes the traditional favorite Open-Faced Jumbo Lump Crab and Salmon Cake Sandwich along with new favorites like the Roasted Lamb Sandwich. Mid-day is not overlooked with the new Light Fare menu's re-imagined Charcuterie Board and seasonally appropriate Occidental B.L.T. All the items can be enjoyed with wine or a cocktail from the craft bar that now features "Prohibition style" drinks.
Baker's culinary journeys have taken him around the world. He was the executive chef for Krish The Restaurant when it opened in Singapore in 2009. TIME called him the country's "hottest chef" and Time Out stated that it was "Singapore's newest splurge worthy restaurant."
Previously he served as executive sous chef at Brasserie Beck in D.C. and as sommelier for Michael Mina's Bourbon Steak in Miami.

Nothing trumps devouring piping hot pizzas at what they cost about three decades ago. This is not some foodie's time travel daydream.
To celebrate its 40th anniversary, Mellow Mushroom Pizza Bakers is bringing back selections from its original 1974 menu in a "Way Back Wednesday" celebration on Aug. 20.
Each restaurant will offer a small cheese pizza for $2.50, Coke products for 30 cents apiece and select beers for 75 cents.
The restaurant chain has come a long way from its humble roots, born out of a single pizza shop on Spring Street in Atlanta. Its ambiance continues to reflect its free-wheeling hippie culture of its time. The chain has expanded to more than 170 locations in 18 states.
Mellow Mushroom is opening new restaurants throughout the country, including recent and upcoming launches in Atlanta, Washington D.C., Dallas, Denver, New Orleans, Orlando and Miami.
So however, you like your pizza and drink – this Wednesday is all about vintage delights at original prices.

Dear women,
You are not this.
The vulnerable you right now is going through a roller coaster both, inside her mind and heart, I know.
I know, when someone looks at you, the first thing that comes in your mind is fear.
But, You are not this.
I know you hate yourself, for letting your emotions overpower your reason all the time. I know you feel ashamed of the less skin and flesh you possess.
But, you are not this.
There is a lot of passion inside you, screaming and trying to get out, the one which tells you that whatever you are thinking just does not matter! But somewhere your outer being, your flesh and bones mock you. Mocks the misery that you are. And I know how you lose each and every time!
But, You are not this.
You stand naked in front of the mirror and then you see your disheartening face, which conveys the shame you feel. You always wonder why you feel so, when the world thinks of you as a strong human being. And the battle goes on and on inside your mind and I know how you lose each and every time and let your flesh and bones mock you.
But, let me tell you, You are not this.
You see others and feel a chill inside because you always compare and never feel perfect. You go back to your childhood with hopes of an escape but then you are reminded of the people who made you believe that you are not strong enough. You return into the reality and you face yourself and I know how you always believe about what the 'people' told you.
But, You are not this.
You are not the fear, You are not the mockery, You are not the shame, You are not those thoughts, You are not those suppressed feelings and You are not those flesh and bones.
You are a power, much higher than any of this. The world outside is waiting for this splendid creation that you are, You are the only YOU in this whole universe and you think you are not special?
Oh Look! Those stars and the moon far far away from here are looking at you with admiration. They see in you the love and kindness that they have not seen anywhere. They see in you, a spark that you have not seen in yourself.
I don't know if these words describe the calming beauty that you are, I don't know if, like those compliments you get from people, this just makes you more sad and miserable.
But the fact that you are the strongest YOU and the most beautiful YOU in this whole universe will not change because of your beliefs.
Life is a choice, it always is.
If the universe and that inner being inside you filled with passion and enthusiasm chooses you for the purpose you are still unaware of, why don't you choose to believe in the person you are?
This is who You are.
And oh, Women,
Just how beautifully amazing you are.
~your inner self.

About Shekinah Church

Hello All
I have bought a Spanish reg car in the UK.
Its currently in the UK.
I have the papers but not a copy of the guys passport or NIE.
The car has a UK mot but its Spanish ITV has run out
Do all Spanish car insurers start to get funny if you don't prove you have got the car in your name after a certain time?
Some people say they have been driving cars in other peoples names for years and its no problem. Some people say their insurance gets arsey.
Whats the consensus here?

Ten years ago today, the new Christchurch Art Gallery opened it's doors. Even though it has been closed to the public for over two years now, the folk there have done a stellar job of continuing to show art around the city.

I had so many pictures from the other day, that I decided to break them up into two posts. To see the front yard post, you can go here.
This is more of that crazy lighting. Everything seemed to be glowing.

Over thirty years ago, Werner Herzog challenged Errol Morris to shoot his first documentary. Morris had been plagued by non-starts in other creative areas like music and writing, and doubted he had the resources to accomplish the task.
Herzog declared that we would eat his shoes if Errol just made the damn movie. The result was Morris' Gates of Heaven, a prolific award-winning career for Morris and this documentary short by Les Blank. Part 1 shown above, Part 2 here.

Death By Firing Squad… And Other News
Utah Governor Gary Herbert signed a law on Monday turning Utah into the only state to allow firing squads for executions – if lethal drugs happen to be unavailable.
The Republican-sponsored bill came to be amid national concerns about the efficacy of lethal injections. In addition to increased difficulties obtaining the drugs (caused by European manufacturers opposed to capital punishment refusing to sell the drug components to U.S. prisons), some states have witnessed several botched lethal injections recently. The bill's sponsor, Republican Rep. Paul Ray, argued that a team of trained marksmen is faster and more decent than the drawn-out deaths involved when lethal injections go awry (or as planned). Although Gov. Gary Herbert called the use of firing squads "a little bit gruesome", apparently they aren't gruesome enough to prevent him from signing the bill. Your move Texas. Raw Story
Protests have been growing in Kabul after an Afghan woman was killed by an angry mob for allegedly burning the Quran. 27-year-old Farkhunda was beaten with sticks and set on fire by a crowd of men while police sat around doing nothing. The only problem (aside from the fact no one in Afghanistan seems to have a problem with burning a woman in public)? Farkhunda was innocent. "I couldn't find any evidence to say Farkhunda burnt the Holy Koran," General Mohammad Zahir told reporters at her funeral on Sunday. "Farkhunda was totally innocent." Oops. Now, more than 2,000 people are marching to demand justice for Farkhunda. Police say they have arrested at least 19 people for their part in the lynch mob and it shouldn't be hard to find the rest since the police were standing around watching the entire incident unfold. BBC News
Police in India are charging a man for tying his 8-year-old daughter to his motorcycle. The Indian man was arrested after startled onlookers took pictures of the child roped to the motorcycle – pictures which were later published in local newspapers. While some are crying child abuse, the man said he was just trying to get his daughter to school to take an exam but she was reluctant to go. After bribing her didn't work, the next logical step was to tie her to the back of his bike with ropes and drive her to school. Well, that's one way to get your kids to school on time… "My daughter will not die if I take her to school. But she will surely die if she does not study," he told the Times of India. On the one hand, it's great that he's so passionate about educating girls in India, but on the other hand… he tied his 8-year-old to a motorcycle. BBC News
An Airbus operated by Lufthansa's Germanwings budget airline crashed Tuesday morning in the French Alps. The bad news is: all 150 people on board were killed including 16 schoolchildren. The good news is: well, there isn't really any good news, but at least they found the plane this time. The Airbus A320, travelling from Barcelona to Duesseldorf, descended for eight minutes from an altitude of approximately 38,000 feet until it crashed. The cause of the crash is still unclear but the plane underwent routine inspection yesterday and the pilots did not issue a distress call. The search and rescue effort is now underway but given the snowy conditions and rough terrain, it will probably take days to recover the victims and the debris. CBC News
9/11 changed everything for Ted Cruz – well, mostly just his music choices. On Tuesday, CBS This Morning host Gayle King asked newly announced presidential candidate Ted Cruz what kind of music he listens to. Cruz revealed he's a little bit country体彩手机在线怎么下载 and not a little bit rock and roll because 9/11. "My music tastes changed on 9/11," Cruz said. "And it's a very strange—I actually, intellectually, find this very curious, but on 9/11, I didn't like how rock music responded. And country体彩手机在线怎么下载 music collectively, the way they responded, it resonated with me and I have to say, it—just as a gut level, I had an emotional reaction that says, "These are my people." And so ever since 2001 I listen to country体彩手机在线怎么下载 music, but I'm an odd country体彩手机在线怎么下载 music fan because I didn't listen to it prior to 2001." It's hard to find a way to cram 9/11 into every response you give, but somehow Ted Cruz managed to do it. This is going to be a GREAT campaign! Politico

and even a couple great decorating ideas.
We hope this hop gets you in the holiday spirit a little early this year.

That's it! It really is easy. Of course, we would love it if you became a follower too.
Comment buttons can be found at the bottom of the post (on most of the blogs).
Now on with the hop!
I have a pile of cheap felt in my supply coset. I bought the bulk holiday pack which has red, white and green in it a few years ago to do something with the kids when they were little. Now they're bigger and could care less about it so it's just been hiding in the back of the closet.
I took it out and played around with ideas I found on Pinterest and other places but in the end came up with my own project. I had to make a few attempts before I figured out the best way to do these.
So here are my felt holiday gift tags with directions underneath in case you have extra cheap felt just lying around.
Back side of tag >>>>>>
*black marker
*Xacto Knife
*scissors that are sharp enough to cut felt
*hot glue gun (Low temp worked great!)
*solid color cardstock
4. Use Xacto knife to trim around felt shape so solid card stock is shape of tag.
5. Use stamps or maker to write on back of tag - To: From:
Thank you so much for joining our Christmas in July blog hop and I look forward to seeing you here again for our August hop.

Most people think summer is the best time to visit Santa Fe—long, sunny days followed by perfectly cool nights—but locals know that winter is just as special. In December, planetary tilt and the city's geographical placement—at 7,000 feet, it's more than 1,500 feet higher than Boulder, Colorado—combine to quickly flip the switch to cold, dark and (we hope) snowy. The seasonal shift is tied to a civic determination to hunker down and make the best of winter, indoors and out.
Which is easy to do. By Christmas, ski and snowboard season is usually underway. (Only 45 minutes from downtown, Ski Santa Fe offers 77 trails on 660 acres.) And though the officially mandated Santa Fe style that defines local architecture—adobe and faux-dobe, most of it brown—can get boring, it works well during the holidays. Leafless trees are strung with lights, while buildings and masonry walls are illuminated with farolitos (Christmas decorations made using small, sand-weighted paper bags that hold votive candles—think the end of Bad Santa). During the day, conditions are likely to be achingly clear and bright. At night, there's piñon smoke in the air and cozy spaces all over town that beckon as an escape from the chilly air.
7:55 A.M. Really? Yeah. In late December, in a town that's nestled against high mountains to the east (the Sangre de Cristos) and framed to the west by a more distant range (the beautiful, volcanic Jemez, where the A-bomb was built), the sun comes up late and goes down early, so get moving. The reward: a jumbo breakfast, preferably one featuring a generous paint job of New Mexico green or red chile (or both). Locals and tourists love Cafe Pasqual's, and for good reason—the menu is big, varied and filled with classic Southwest fare. Order the chile relleno con huevos—a not-too-hot Anaheim chile, stuffed with cheese and served with black beans and salsa. Another can't-lose choice is smoked trout hash, a "scatter of" trout with two poached eggs, a Gruyere potato cake and tomatillo salsa.
10:04 A.M. During a quick visit, it's hard to do anything too ambitious outside. But it would be a shame not to get a taste. The Sangres rise 5,000 feet above downtown Santa Fe, and by late December, there's usually snow throughout, blanketing a stunning winter forest of evergreen pines, bare-naked aspen and twittering dink birds. (Yes, we said dink.) Take a two-hour snowshoe trip with Outspire, a local company that will pick you up at your hotel, drive you up the mountain and fit you out with everything you'll need (snowshoes, poles, gaiters, water and snacks). Company owner Karen Denison (or one of her four guides) will talk to you in advance about what level of exertion you're up for, and then take you on a secluded, woodsy alpine loop.
12:12 P.M. The cold and exertion will build an appetite—even after a jumbo breakfast. Upon returning to town, head to the Tune-Up Cafe, a chaotic little restaurant (best reached by cab) that offers New Mexico specialties, burgers, and homemade desserts. Go with a draft of Left Hand Milk Stout, the green chile beef stew, banana leaf wrapped tamales, and a slice of carrot cake.
1:43 P.M. For such a small city, Santa Fe has terrific art museums and a thriving contemporary scene—the local visitor's bureau will tell you (and tell you and tell you) that it's the third-largest art market in the country, with some 240 galleries and dealers sprinkled near the Santa Fe Plaza and along the wall-to-wall commercial artery that is Canyon Road. Product warning: A lot of the newer stuff sucks, as evidenced by a giant bronze of a bear cavorting with a Native American tot. But keep moving, because there are surprises everywhere. Justifiably popular museums include the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum, the New Mexico Museum of Art, the Museum of International Folk Art and the Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian. (The latter two are part of the Museum Hill cluster, which requires a cab ride.) The expansive Gerald Peters Gallery, founded in the 1970s by a local rich guy, displays pieces from its fine and vast collection, which includes cool Western stuff and old-school Taos and Santa Fe masters such as Victor Higgins and E.L. Blumenschein.
3:29 P.M. It will be dark in a couple of hours (give or take), so shoulder into that reality with a snack. Kakawa Chocolate House, right across the street from the Peters Gallery, specializes in chocolaty baked goods (try any of their truffles or brownies) and "historic drinking chocolates" that they call "elixirs." And, yes, that does sound like something someone from Brooklyn would conjure up, but don't be put off. Kakawa features authentic chocolate-drink recipes from Europe and Mesoamerica—where Olmecs, Mayans and Aztecs ground cacao mixed with spices, chiles and herbs—that date back hundreds of years.
4:31 P.M. It's the holiday shopping season, so get in a little consumerism before hitting the bar. The best stores are on, and near, the Plaza. Check out Doodlet's (which offers local, handmade toys and stocking stuffers, along with great European imports from Christmas-crazed nations like Sweden and Germany). Also peruse Alpine Sports (top-shelf ski and snowboard gear and apparel), Harrys Clothing (routinely named the best local men's clothing store, and Men! Consignment for Him (high-end clothes at an affordable price along the lines of Rent-A-Swag).
6:56 P.M. Bundle up. Once darkness falls, the cold can be piercing. Fight back with a drink at the best bar in town, The Secreto Lounge. The guiding spirit here is Chris Milligan, a.k.a. the Santa Fe Barman,a mixmasterwho has spent decades researching classic old drinks and inventing new ones. Try his Irish Old Fashioned (made with Jameson's Irish Whiskey) or one of the seasonal drinks that he offers during the holidays: spiced cider, hot buttered rum, Irish coffee or eggnog.
8:12 P.M. One of the most dependable splurge restaurants in Santa Fe is The Compound, which sits about halfway up Canyon Road on a sprawling piece of property that abuts the Santa Fe River. Take some time getting there: In December, Canyon Road's galleries, stores and restaurants are lit up by a dazzling display of Christmas lights. The Compound has a spacious interior featuring a snug little bar to occupy some time if arriving ahead of your reservation. Owner and chef Mark Kiffin's menu is inspired by Santa Fe's historic role as the last stop on the Camino Real, the 1,500-mile Spanish trade route from Mexico City. (Translation—the influences are both European and Southwestern.) Order a Rosemary Manhattan, fall squash soup and for an entree, the Angus beef tenderloin, served atop potatoes and drizzled with a foie gras hollandaise. Finish with Kiffin's signature "liquid chocolate cake," a warm, made-to-order bittersweet chocolate cake with a gooey center that's finished with a scoop of orange sherbet. With the cold outside intensifying and with The Compound's extensive list of after-dinner ports, wines and cognacs, there's not much reason to venture out any further.

At the end of 2010, Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes was asked about the growth of Netflix, and whether it posed a threat.
His answer: "It's a little bit like, is the Albanian army going to take over the world? I don't think so."
Well, the Albanian army is now winning.
On Facebook yesterday, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings said, "Minor milestone: last quarter we passed HBO is subscriber revenue ($1.146B vs $1.141B). They still kick our ass in profits and Emmy's, but we are making progress. HBO rocks, and we are honored to be in the same league. (yes, I loved Silicon Valley and yes it hit a little close to home.)"
Netflix has 48 million paid subscribers, with 35.1 million in the U.S. HBO says it has 127 million subscribers worldwide, but it includes Cinemax subscribers and HBO 2, HBO Family, etc. in that number, so it's hard to get a perfect subscriber to subscriber comparison.
This chart from Quartz shows Netflix subscription revenue is beating HBO revenue:

He thought just a few minutes wouldn't be to bad, then he would get back to he daily chores that his father and mother needed him to do. You see he lived on a farm up in the woods.
As the music died away and there was no more enchanting melody Shon ap Shenkin stood-up and was ready to get back to his daily chores. However, to his surprise the once young tree that he was taking the very short nap under, had withered and died. It didn't stop there! When the young man returned home to his parents home, it looked strangely different. There was an odd older look to it an there was ivy growing all over it. As he move closer to the house he saw an older man standing in the doorway. So Shon ap Shenkin, decided that he would see who this old man was doing in his parents home.
Once he got to the entree way of the doorway where the old man was, he started to tell him who he was first; he told the older gentleman that he was Shon ap Shenkin and he had just left his father and mother's house/ this house just a few minutes ago. So he couldn't understand why the house looked so old and had ivy growing all over it. Well the old man had to say Shon ap Shenkin name once again. Then he asked the boy his name to make sure that he got it right. And the boy replied Yes my name is 'Shon ap Shenkin' why do you seem so anxious?
The old man suddenly became deathly pale and replied to the young boy, and said
'I often heard of my grandfather, your father speak of your disappearance'.
At those words Shon ap Shenkin the young boy that finally made it home, crumbled to dust
on the doorstep.
Even though this was a tale that was inspired by the great story writer Washington Irving. I wrote the tale in my own interruption. I have always love the tale and I hope that you all do.
One should always be wise of the power of the Fae. So if you ever happen to
been is the Valley, forest, or woods and here a most enchanting music that you have
never ever heard before my advise is, close your ears and leave the area.
It is always best to be invited by the Fae. That way you can go home
to your family or have the journey of a live time.
I love you all very much my dearest friends & followers
Have a wonderful evening
This tale was one of many tales inspired by Washington Irving.
