Resident Advisor recently opened up the polls for 3 days and surveyed the landscape for the current top DJ's on the scene for 2014. Being that RA is a Berlin based music magazine and platform, the list is not surprisingly heavily infused with the techno masters and a bit on the Eurocentric side of things but without a doubt, acknowledges some great DJ's.

Vitter praised Obama's decision not to attend a bilateral summit being hosted by Putin ahead of the G-20 summit. The administration said it made the decision after a lack of progress on numerous issues between the two countries and Moscow's decision to grant National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden temporary asylum.
"The President's decision to cancel his trip to Russia is the right one because they are clearly at odds with us on so many key issues," Vitter said.
Vitter has criticized Obama for calling for a reduction to the U.S. nuclear arsenal, saying it weakens the nation's military. Putin and Obama were expected to discuss missile defense and arms control at the summit. Both countries have agreed to eliminate some of their nuclear weapons, but Obama has called for even further reductions.
Vitter has said the administration should seek Congressional approval before making additional cuts to the nuclear weapons stockpile.

Some of my most memorable meals have been ones where I sampled a range of flavors and ingredients that took me on journeys through famous culinary destinations. The chefs were masters at creating appetizers for a crowd, and even the pickiest diners could find enough to keep their tummies happy. Call me a glutton, but why settle for one big dish when you can try several small plates of food?
The tapas craze has travelled beyond Spain to restaurants all over the world attempting to create their own versions of small plates. Many fail miserably because the food is pretentious and presented as tiny morsels at ridiculous prices.
Culinary powerhouses like France and Italy have hors d'oeuvres and antipasti, but they're both meant to be served as first courses before the main course arrives. However, there are a few culinary destinations that have their mealtime cultures rooted in the small plate tradition, and the sheer variety encourages diners to select as many appetizers as they want to make up a complete meal. This kind of meal is perfect for sharing with friends and family but a few small plates are also great when accompanied with drinks.
The following destinations are famous for their small plates culture.
Tapas – Spain
Credit: http://www.flickr.com/photos/franck-chilli/5955534214/Tapas bars can be found throughout Spain and you'll find Spaniards munching on tapas any time of the day. While tapas restaurants have sprung up all over the world, to appreciate the true tapas experience, you must do a tapas bar crawl in a Spanish city at night. Drop in at a bar, plonk yourself down at the counter and order tapas dishes that look interesting, or sit at a table and browse a menu. Try one or more bite-sized plates of food with a glass of wine. When you're done, move to another bar and repeat till you're full. If you're not deliriously happy by the end of it, you're doing something wrong! You'll find local favorites like cured ham, cheeses and squid tentacles, and if you don't speak Spanish you can just point.

Cicchetti – Venice
Credit: http://www.flickr.com/photos/maong/4464729812/It can be hard for tourists to find authentic Venetian cuisine restaurants in Venice and most charge exorbitant prices. However, there is one tradition that still stands strong in the back streets of the city. Cicchetti bars are tiny places that almost seem to hide from tourists in fear, for should they be discovered by these trespassers, they would be forced to adapt to tourist taste buds. In the old days, portable wine bars could be found in St. Mark's Square, but those have made way for pigeon feed sellers catering to photograph-posing tourists.
At the end of a work day, locals line up at cicchetti bars and fill up a plate with a variety of snacks to go with a small glass of house wine. Each snack comes either on a stick or on crusty bread and they're displayed at the counter of the bar. Try deep fried mozzarella or gorgonzola, artichoke hearts, marinated seafood, olives, prosciutto with melon and lots more. The interesting decor in most bars evokes a bygone era of old Venice. Unlike tapas bars, cicchetti bars don't stay open very late, as it is usually an afternoon and early evening tradition.
Dim Sum – China
Credit: http://www.flickr.com/photos/brettlider/57726456/This Chinese tradition comes from Canton, where rural workers and travellers would visit diner-like establishments to drink tea and eat a small snack. Now, dim sum has become a weekend family lunch tradition among Chinese, and Chinatowns all over the world house dim sum eateries serving appetizers for a crowd. While some establishments in the western world allow diners to select their dishes from a menu or present dishes buffet-style, many still do it the old way. Trolleys loaded with steaming baskets and plates of tasty morsels make their way between tables, and diners point at whatever looks good. A bottomless pot of tea helps wash down translucent dumplings, steamed buns, pot stickers, pastries and more. Some of the dim sum dishes are quite exotic in ingredients and flavors, and trying to ask the speedy waiters for a description in the ever-present cacophony can be an exercise in futility, but part of the fun of the dim sum experience is about being adventurous. Along with the popular pork, shrimp, beef and chicken, you'll find chicken feet, pig's ears, tripe and much more!

Meze – Mediterranean
Credit: http://www.flickr.com/photos/avlxyz/3483488082/Meze can be found in many Mediterranean and Middle Eastern countries, where the small plates make up an entire meal or are only served before the main course. Each culinary destination has its own offering of meze, but the most common ones include dips, like hummus, tashi, tzatziki, muhammara and babaghanoush, white cheeses, olives, falafel, dolmades, bite-sized grilled meats and seafood, and salads, like tabbouleh and fattoush. Everything is cooked in or drizzled with pure olive oil, and anise flavored aperitifs are commonly paired with the meals, although simple wines are also popular. Restaurants that specialize in meze in these countries seem to want to outdo each other, as the variety on offer can sometimes overwhelm. Ordering appetizers for a crowd is the best way to sample as much as possible. Service always starts with lighter fare arriving in a group of 3 to 4 dishes before moving on to heavier vegetarian dishes and ending with meat and seafood meze.

Smorgasbord – Scandinavia
Credit: http://www.flickr.com/photos/24736216@N07/6359935299/The smorgasbord is probably the most well known of all the Scandinavian culinary traditions, but the huge spread that is common today is really one that has evolved over the years. A smorgasbord meal is served buffet-style, where diners can sample smorgasbord food, like herring and potatoes, crisp bread, warm and cold fish dishes, gravlax (salt-cured salmon with dill and sweet mustard sauce), salads, cold cuts, roast meats, chicken and egg dishes. Of course, no smorgasbord menu is complete without meatballs served with lingonberry sauce and more potatoes. The locals like their food with a cold shot of vodka or aquavit, and there's local cheese, fruit, desserts and coffee to finish off the meal. You're expected to use clean plates every time you make a trip to the buffet table, and it is best that you sample the food in a logical order. Some fine dining restaurants let you select dishes from a smorgasbord menu and serve them to you on a platter.
Sushi – Japan
Sushi has come a long way from its country of origin. Californian sushi restaurants seem to create a new type of roll every month, with an anything goes philosophy. Sushi restaurants can be traditional, where you order your dishes from a menu and wait, or they can be fast food style. The latter uses a sushi train or conveyor belt to push out small plates of various kinds of sushi. The train passes by every table or counter seat so diners can pick up any plate they like and stack empty ones to indicate what they've eaten when it's time to pay. Some sushi restaurants in Japan have taken the concept one step further, where one or two train carriages run on parallel tracks. Every table is a station with a touch screen ordering pad that serves as the sushi train menu that diners can use to order special items not found on the train. Some restaurants that promise only fresh sushi use RFIDs or a similar system to ensure a plate of food hasn't been sitting on the train too long! Along with nigiri sushi (piece of raw fish on a bed of rice), maki sushi (raw fish and other ingredients rolled in rice and seaweed), and other delicious morsels, little cups of green tea also board the train. You'll probably find the experience amusing and the fresh sushi delicious.

So if you're ever in one of these great culinary destinations, and either looking for lots of appetizers for a crowd or just a few small plates of food to keep you satisfied till your next meal, you won't go wrong when you step into a bustling restaurant that specializes in the local small plates tradition.

I never published my 2014 Goals. They were written down but only made it onto an ever-rewritten 3×5 notecard which I kept in my pocket. I was pretty satisfied with what I accomplished in 2014, but I missed some of the life goal building blocks toward the 10,000 hour expertise mark.
The most challenging part of the year was taking command and leading an organization. There are challenges and complexities you don't expect or even realize exist until you're forced to face them head on.
- Enjoy 30 Books. ACCOMPLISHED. I was able to completely enjoy 61 great books in 2014. A number which greatly surprised me as I continued to rack them up.
- Run 4 marathons. ACCOMPLISHED. I was able to accomplish 1 Ultra marathon and 3 marathons in 2014. I ran the North Face Endurance Challenge 50K (approximately 31 miles), the USA Rock 'n Roll Marathon, Freedom's Run Marathon, and my third Marine Corps Marathon in a row! I was happy to have accomplished all of these in 2014! I've now run a total of 7 marathons including the Ultra marathon; every race I find an inspirational individual that inspires me even more!
- Family Trip. ACCOMPLISHED. We enjoyed a couple of great trips in 2014; I escaped to bear hunt with my father and brother and enjoyed Florida with my family.
- Lead Effectively. ON TRACK. In my first command, through most of the year, I led Naval Computer and Telecommunications Area Master Station Atlantic (NCTAMS LANT) Detachment Hampton Roads which includes the Unified Atlantic Region Network Operations Center from the beginning of February 2014. Leading the Detachment has been challenging and a pleasure all at once; there isn't a day that I don't learn something from one of the fine individuals I work with. Additionally, I was empowered to invest some of my time in improving the Information Dominance Corps Mid-career Course and Information Professionals Basic Course requirements. Both will improve the quality and overall as a Naval Officer.
- Continue to Learn (Another language, coding, robotics). ACCOMPLISHED. I'd like to accumulate 10,000 hours of expertise in these areas and need to figure out how to most effectively accomplish the task. I toyed with a couple language applications but really enjoy what I'm seeing out of Duolingo. Regarding coding, I don't do this daily at work so I used and completed several courses from Codeacademy in 2014 to maintain proficiency. And in robotics, I started playing with Lego Mindstorms with my children which I have enjoyed.
- Investigate methods to further increase income. ACCOMPLISHED. I determined that teaching is a passion of mine and something I'd like to become better at doing. I will start teaching in a couple of weeks.
- Reduce debt. ACCOMPLISHED. Even with the reduction funds (reduced BAH) and the increased costs of geobacheloring, we were able to continue to reduce the only debt we hold as a family (mortgage, one vehicle loan and student loans).

Just One More Thing: The Apple Faithful Freakout Begins in Five Minutes
The prospect of no Steve Jobs keynote and Apple's last year at IDG's annual Macworld Conference & Expo is sure to do five things:
1. Send the legions of Apple (APPL) fanboys–whose attendance at the January event has been akin to those who flock to sightings of the Virgin Mary in various places like, um, toast–into a deep chasm of depression from which they will never recover.
2. Renew rampant and unsubstantiated speculation about the health of Apple CEO Steve Jobs, which will immediately impact the stock of the tech icon. In fact, Apple shares are already down almost six percent in after-hours trading.
3. Begin rampant and unsubstantiated speculation about a power struggle within Apple among the potential successors to Jobs, including product czar Phil Schiller–who is giving the keynote–and COO Tim Cook. This utterly ignores the fact that you actually need more than one person to run a major corporation, even with His Digital Holiness in charge.
4. Result in a series of spurious reports of what cool new product the company will and will not release at the event, reports that BoomTown has calculated on my handy-dandy abacus are typically 83 percent wrong. Incredibly, the company always seems about to release something, because I seem to keep buying.
5. As Digital Daily's John Paczkowski noted in a tweet just now: "Man, they must be chugging Mylanta by the gallon over at IDG corporate right now."

Lets Go "Write" a Bike….27 Oct
Candy Girl… You Are My World31 Mar
I have been eying this print above from MadeByGirl for quite some time now but couldn't decided which color to get. Although I love color and simply can't see decorating with out it, there is something about the subdued effect of the newly featured Seafoam Love Candy Print that I love. I think it would look absolutely perfect in my bedroom.
I recently discovered MadeByGirl when I first started reading Jennifer's blog, and since then I have been following her postings for the past 6 months now. Her blog is AMAZING! Filled with so much C.O.L.O.R (which I adore) and tons of inspiration! Not to mention shes an amazing designer as well… check out her Etsy shop & her website for unique and eco-friendly cards & prints.
"Creative Wavelength"31 Jan
I came across this posting on design*sponge today and it immediately reminded me on the Chanel Couture Spring 2009 show. So much so that I was sure the artist behind these truly whimsical paper installations had to at least be a part of the inspiration for Karl Lagerfeld's Spring 09 collection.
Well, I was wrong… but this did reminded me of a moment while in design school in San Francisco. The class I was taking was "Creating a Garment Business" and the topic at hand was a popular belief that there is some sorta "creative wavelength" that all creative people tap into. Now I know that might sound a little crazy… but seriously think about it. Creative people are such because they have a certain way of thinking. A different way of looking at and then interpreting their surroundings. The thought of a "creative wavelength" would explain why many times designers may come out with the exact same trends, color patterns, silhouettes etc. at the exact same time… which means they couldn't of possibly copied the other but instead were thinking on the same "creative wavelength".
Case in point… Karl Lagerfeld (designer/creative director behind Chanel) and artist Rebecca Niederlander were obviously operating on the same wavelength for a moment. I cant help but wonder how much the Chanel Couture Spring 2009 show would have benefited if they had Rebecca Niederlander's installations as a part of their set….
All daydreaming aside… If like me you would love to see more of Rebecca's installation but are not in the LA area, click here for additional pics. As for Chanel, check out images of the entire Spring 2009 collection. Absolutely stunning! Below are my favs =)

• Just glue the glass panels onto the walls with mirror adhesive, or for a more finished effect, frame with decorative molding. (All mirrors will need some temporary support while drying; heavy mirrors may require permanent hardware.)

Oh No!!! ….Domino31 Jan
Well… I stepped away from the blog world for a week only to return to the worst news ever. Domino Magazine like many others has been hit by the economic down turn and will be closing shop, with their last issue being March 2009. I truly am devastated!!!
Now as you know my first love is fashion… but I think fashion, home decor & design go hand in hand and honestly Domino is the one magazine that I HAVE to have and the one that I constantly revisit. With my fashion magazines I usually hang on to them for a little while before doing a clean sweep, collecting tear sheets for inspiration and then purging the actually magazine… but with Domino, every page is inspiring and in result I save the entire issue. (I only wish I had all the back issues. Sad but true fact: I was a little late in the game in terms of realizing Domino's wonderfulness)
Domino Magazine you will be missed!!!

- Dear readers
It is with very heavy hearts that we say farewell. Over the last 4 years, in 28 issues, we have done our best to create a great magazine. We started with a real idea—that style is for everyone—and tried to carry it out with stories that provide inspiration and empower you to act on it. From your tremendous response, we know that we were onto something. In this tough economy, however, we simply weren't able to get the advertising support we needed.
As domino evolved, we never lost sight of our original democratic premise. Looking back at the manifesto we published in the premiere issue, the first tenet of domino is still the truest: Home should make you happy. We hope we have played a part in making this come true for you.

My experience with allstate started good but ended bad. Almost at the end of January I received a phonecall stating that and i qoute "Clifton or the underwriter messed up and i was kicked back regarding insurance" so clifton wanted to make sure the all the information was correct. Well that meant me having to pay double the amount. Now since that money was not taken out due someone's effing up meant i was now going to pay double just over 300$ and I was not going to pay because someone effed up. Now allstate has placed me collections. To bad there no stars for a review.

Demerol Side Effects
As is common with older medications, only vague side effect information is available for Demerol. Problems that may occur with this pain reliever include nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and headaches. While most side effects of the drug appear to be mild, some problems are potentially serious and should be reported to your healthcare provider immediately, including fainting, difficulty passing urine, or chest pain.
As with any medicine, Demerol® (meperidine hydrochloride) can cause side effects. However, not everyone who takes the medication will experience problems. In fact, some people tolerate it quite well. If side effects do occur, in many cases, they are minor and either require no treatment or can easily be treated by you or your healthcare provider.
(This article covers many, but not all, of the possible side effects with Demerol. Your healthcare provider can discuss a more complete list of Demerol side effects with you.)
For many medications, the prescribing information carefully explains the exact percentage of side effects that were seen in clinical trials. However, the prescribing information for almost all older medications (including many Demerol products) includes only vague side effect information, with no percentages provided. Therefore, it can be difficult to know exactly how common (or how rare) the side effects of such medications may be.
The most common side effects with Demerol are thought to include:
- Lightheadedness
- Dizziness
- Sedation
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Sweating.
Other possible bothersome (but usually not serious) side effects that have been reported include:
- An unusual pleasant feeling (euphoria) or unpleasant feeling (dysphoria)
- Weakness
- Headache
- Dry mouth
- Constipation
- Facial flushing.

Behind Most Precious secret
Church member enjoys caring for old bowling alley
TERRI RICHARDSON | The Journal Gazette
Rich Sarrazin is responsible for one of the best-kept secrets in Fort Wayne.
It's nothing illegal or involving some kind of political scandal. But if you are looking for a good time in the city, he's the one to call.
Sarrazin is in charge of the Northside Recreation Center, a six-lane bowling alley in the basement of the Most Precious Blood Church and School on Barthold Street.
The 76-year-old has been involved with the center for 47 years, becoming its manager in the 1970s.
"A lot of history," says Sarrazin as he looks around the center. "It's Fort Wayne's best-kept secret. The place is starting to show its years."
It's been a part of the church for more than 80 years. Built in the 1930s, it was a way to help pay for the church that had been built in 1928, Sarrazin says.
The basement of the church was vacant at the time and it was decided to install a bowling alley. Church members and others heard about a bowling alley that had burned in Huntington. They paid $2,000 for the alley (including two lanes that were not badly burned), along with three circular benches, pinsetters and 30 balls. Sarrazin says a hole had to be cut in the floor above so the items could be lowered into the basement.�Lanes 3, 4, 5 and 6 were built.
It didn't take long for the center to become a favorite recreation spot for many. There also is a bar that serves alcohol and snacks.
The center rents out the church space and gives a portion of the profits to the church.
Another part of the center's history is its Brunswick automated pinsetters, bought in the 1970s when it became difficult to find people to set the pins up by hand. Brunswick no longer makes the pinsetters, which means the parts are hard to come by.
Sarrazin has had to learn the mechanics of operating and repairing the machines. He says other bowling alley owners in Fort Wayne have helped him when he doesn't know how to do something.
In the back of the bowling center is Sarrazin's workshop. "It looks like a mess, but I know where everything is," he says.
There are belts and tools on shelves and counters and bowling pins are scattered throughout. There are baby-food jars filled with screws and other items. Sewer piping used for bumper bowling lay stacked along the walls ready for use.
Sarrazin has manged to keep the machines going all these years. He also has had help from volunteers. Without them, he says he wouldn't be able to operate the center.
The center currently has four leagues that bowl throughout the week. Sarrazin and his wife, Linda, bowl every Friday.
The couple have three children and six grandchildren, who have already been introduced to bowling.
The center and the church are a large part of Sarrazin's life. He has attended Most Precious Blood all his life and even went to kindergarten at the school.
He retired from Slater Steel after 28 years and was in the Army Reserves for six years.
But bowling has always been a part of his life. He started bowling at the center as a teen.
And of course he has had bowled several 300-score games – a perfect game in the sport. His name is on the wall, along with others, who have managed to bowl the coveted score.
To say that Sarrazin spends a large amount of his time at the center is an easy guess. "I enjoy it immensely," he says.
When asked how his wife feels about him spending so much of his time at the center, he jokingly replies, "She knows where I'm at – off the street."
But Sarrazin is just glad that others are getting to enjoy the center and it's history.
The facility is available for rent and has seen many events, had senior and wedding photos taken there, and has even been used by Vera Bradley for a product shoot for the company.
Sarrazin also uses it as a place of practice for the Bishop Dwenger bowling team, of which he is the coach. He has been doing that for 20 years.
When he isn't bowling, Sarrazin does water color and oil paintings. He also is a member of the American Legion.
"I've got to keep busy," he says. "I'd go crazy. This keeps me busy. It's very gratifying."

Verses 2-5 as a whole: Do the terms "life" and "light" have a creation or salvation connotation in these verses? Hendriksen, Hengstenberg, Hughes, and Lenski all agree that salvation is the connotation of these words in this context. This passage proves the divinity of the Son by His manifestations of creative power (Hutcheson). How does this prove the thesis of 20:31 (that the Christ is Jesus, and that by believing, we might have life in His name)? If the Messiah is going to be powerful enough to save us from our sins, then He has to have re-creative power (Keddie). The flip side of that is that here we learn about the exceeding sinfulness of sin. "Let us often read these first five verses of St. John's Gospel. Let us mark what kind of Being the Redeemer of mankind must needs be, in order to provide eternal redemption for sinners. If no one less than the Eternal God, the Creator and Preserver of all things, could take away the sin of the world, sin must be a far more abominable thing in the sight of God than most men suppose. The right measure of sin's sinfulness is the dignity of Him who came into the world to save sinners" (J.C. Ryle). McHugh says it well: "One may then recall that in Gen 1, the creation proceeds from day to day, in a careful logical succession, establishing the conditions in which living things may grow until on the sixth day, when all is at last ready for the completion of the work, God creates the land-based beasts and finally the human race. In Genesis, all these things, from the first creation (light) to the last, were brought into existence through God's Word. So in the Fourth Gospel. All proceeds towards the restoration of life for the entire human race on the sixth day of the final week of Jesus' earthly life, with Paradise Restored."
Verse 2: "Houtos" ("This one") implies "none other" (Beasley-Murray). Lenski also argues that this sums up verse 1 in one word. This verse says that the relationship of Jesus with the Father is eternal (Bernard). Westcott tells the profound truth that it is not only the Father and the Son (as persons) who were responsible for the creation of the World. But it is also their relationship that was involved (God speaking through His Son, the Word). Of course, we know from Genesis 1 that the Holy Spirit was involved as well. Creation was a result of the eternal fellowship among the persons of the Trinity.
Verse 3: This verse states the same thing twice, once positively, once negatively (Barrett). The "all things" is completely comprehensive of all created things. There is great comfort from this verse, in that nothing is outside God's control, if nothing is outside His creative power (Schaff).
Verses 3-4: A punctuation issue: does "which came to pass" go with verse 3 or verse 4? An example of the former is the ESV: "All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made." An example of the latter is the NRSV: "All things came into being through him, and without him not one thing came into being. What has come into being, etc." Most translations have the phrase go with verse 3. In favor of having it go with verse 4 is that "any thing made that was made" sounds a bit redundant. One could answer to this objection that this phrase could be consciously excluding the Word Himself as someone who was begotten, but not made. He was not created, but was rather the Word by Whom all things were created. In favor of having it go with verse 3 is that it is difficult to know what "What has come into being in Him was life" actually means (so many commentators). To this it could be answered that in Christ's person and work the way of salvation has come into being. The new creation that Jesus accomplished in the resurrection is life (for us!) that has come into being in Him. I marginally favor the latter reading (with verse 4), but it's certainly not a hill on which I desire to perish.
Verse 4a: "The life which was eternally in the Word, when it goes forth, issues in created life, and this is true both of the physical world and the spiritual world" (Bernard). Hutcheson says that "the life of all living creatures was 'in him' as in the fountain cause, as the stream is in the fountain, and the rays of light in the sun." Keddie says that "the logic of the text is that the Creator of life must be the very essence and definition of life." Keener notes that the Jews believed that life and light both resided in the Torah. That belief would be in contrast to what John teaches here. Meyer argues that any and all kinds of life are here included.
Verse 4b: See Genesis 1:3 ("Let there be light") leading to John 8:12 ("I am the light of the world") (Bernard). Of course, light is what makes it possible for life to exist (Kostenberger). It also leads to a choice which has to be made. See Boice, vol 1, pp. 46-47, for a good illustration of the difference between lesser lights and the great light of Jesus Christ.
Verse 5: Note the present tense of "shines" (Bernard). "Darkness" has an ethical quality here (Barrett). Brown interprets "the darkness" to be the fall in Genesis 3. Hengstenberg adds that the darkness is both a deficient religious condition and also the end result, hence darkness implies death. Ambrose tells us that the darkness is not a protection, since the light will always expose what is done in darkness. Isaiah 9:2 ("the people walking in darkness have seen a great light"). Light and darkness are opposites, but not of equal strength, contra dualism (Bruce). Besser (quoted by Lenski) says "In Christ is the life-light, outside is the night of death." He now shines in us (Lenski). See 12:35 ("Walk while you have the light") for application (Lincoln). John does not leave us in suspense: the story has a happy ending (Michaels). Luther notes that this verse hurls a thunderbolt against all human reason, since the light exists only in Jesus, not in us. In us is darkness. The so-called Enlightenment isn't.
Verse 5: (Translation issue: is "katelaben" to be translated "overcome" or "comprehend"?) Maybe it plays on the two meanings (Barrett). Hendriksen argues a litotes here emphasizing the absolute antithesis between darkness and light. Perhaps the best translation is one that incorporates both connotations: "mastered" is my favorite way of translating the term.

Natsume's Book of Friends 3
Alex: Natsume has had two seasons before this, and this marks the end of the third, with the fourth season announced for January. There are two other reviews on Natsume, one by me and one by Mimi. If you're interested, Season 1 is here, and Season 2 is here. The general consensus on the series is that it's utterly, utterly heartwarming and a real heart-puller at times, and something which is gonna go down as an anime classic.
Series 3 is where they slightly change the formula. If you look at the formula as a "Youkai and I", revolving around Natsume and the Youkai, this series revolves more around the "Me and the Youkai", as in Natsume takes the central focus in the majority of the stories, unlike the Youkai. You even get treated to several backstories of Natsume, dating to the time before he had Nyanko-Sensei to help him with the youkai, and how he'd deal with them on his own, and they're some of the best ones.
You also get a return of one of the most loved characters in the Natsume anime, the Kitsune spirit. Natsume's meeting with the Kitsune spirit almost marks the end of Natsume's solo development, being on his own and being afraid of the world. You even have a few school episodes in this series, focusing more on Natsume and how he interacts with his friends outside of Youkai problems. Not to say that you don't have any youkai problems involving his friends, you even have an example where Tanuma gets possessed by a youkai, and is able to see the world that Natsume can see.
Examples of that is just what the series is brilliant at. It's beautiful, and well…it's almost art. There are strong episodes, weak episodes, but these 13 installments into the Natsume Yuujinchou franchise are episodes which will help cement the series as something that's stored in every anime watchers heart.
Alex's Score: 10 Meeps out of 10 (Masterpiece)
Liam's Score: 10 Meeps out of 10 (Masterpiece)

Hoarding: Predetermined vs. Predisposed
Some of what we are is genetic destiny. If your parents both have light eyes, you will have light eyes. If you're born with at least one gene for brown hair, your hair will be brown. The only way to escape it is a dye job.
And then there are inherited genes that mark a tendency -- an increased possibility over the general population that the inheritor will develop a particular behavior or condition. In the case of genetic predisposition, the outcome is not guaranteed; it is simply more likely than it is for someone without the gene. Some common examples of this are breast cancer, alcoholism, obesity and athletic ability. They run in families, but in each case and to varying degrees, the inheritor's habits and behavior may affect the outcome.
Hoarding disorder appears to fall into this category of genetic predisposition. Opinions vary on how strong that disposition is. Some experts believe genetics play a relatively small role, with environment taking center stage. In other words, if your biological father is a compulsive hoarder but you're adopted at birth, any genetic predisposition toward hoarding would be less likely to be "turned on" than if you were raised by your genetic parent.
Another big component in the development of hoarding disorder is a stressful incident, such as sexual assault or divorce. Trauma can be an instigating factor in the disease, which is often associated with anxiety. If you inherited a genetic proclivity toward compulsive hoarding and you experience a period of extreme stress, you may be more likely than someone without the gene to start practicing the behavior as a coping mechanism.
Some recent studies, on the other hand, point to a more significant role for genetics in hoarding behavior, to the extent of having isolated a specific chromosome that may be associated with hoarding. Some researchers believe this type of genetic inheritance to be a stronger factor than environment, although no one is sure whether the gene indicates a tendency toward actual hoarding or toward a contributory personality trait, such as disorganized thinking.
What is not up for debate is the malleability of the gene's outcome. Whether or not genetics play a part in hoarding, and whether or not it's a strong one, people who inherit a tendency toward the behavior are not locked into a pathologically cluttered future. Just as someone with strong athletic capacity can simply not play sports, a person who inherits a strong hoarding capacity can simply not collect.

Best mates can be ace but just as they enlighten you with joy and understanding, they can also ruin everything. Well, perhaps not everything, but certainly coffee. The simple, if overpriced, act of going out for a delicious latte has been ruined because, to be honest with you, lattes are a bit shit, although I only realised this when NZ-living KT dragged me* to Flat White on Soho's Berwick Street and made me sup on an actual flat white. With one taste, coffee imbibing would never be the same again, and I would like to thank our antipodean cousins for caring enough about the bean to conjure such delicious alchemy as to reveal Starbucks to be peddlers of coffee-esque cordial.
Not long after this epiphany, I discovered Monmouth Coffee, the beautiful purveyor of delicious coffee in both Covent Garden and in the heart of London's food mecca, Borough Market,
It's where the beautiful and caffeine-bereft go to redress the balance,
...to share stylish thoughts and titter knowingly at hidden meanings in highbrow text.
But luckily, they let plebs like me in too.
Sadly, I thought that a decent coffee was the preserve of the black-lunged folk of our capital city, but the good word seems to have infiltrated the shires too and the God of Coffee has bestowed His Magical Elixir a little closer to my home, at least. Behold - The Black Dog Cafe:
latte art, but the taste is delicious, wholesome and invigorating. It's a small independent cafe in an area of Tunbridge Wells that is stoically independent, slightly bohemian and without the cloud of snobbery that hampers so much of what is wonderful in that town, so I urge you to go to keep that spirit alive. The coffee is wonderful: why would you not go?!
Can I just state that my coffee snobbery hasn't extended to home...yet, although I do prefer a freshly brewed cuppa as opposed to instant...
However, I certainly wouldn't judge a friend who gave me a cup of instant unfavourably: drinking at home and drinking out are different experiences. Granted, they don't need to be, thanks to readily-available coffee machines, mail-order beans and youtube instructionals. But coffee in a friend's kitchen, good banter and a welcoming face can elevate even the shoddiest instant cuppa into something celebratory, the oil to grease the wheels of conversation if it should be needed. As long as there are cookies or cake, you can give me any old sluice. Which leads me neatly to...
This recipe is a bastardization of one from The Borough Market Book, which is in turn a version of a recipe by Sara-Jayne Stanes, author of the promising-sounding 'Chocolate: the Definitive Guide'. Now, this tart is everything a chocolate tart should be, although those attributes may seem contradictory: crisp, smooth, sweet and sharp. Use as strong a chocolate as you prefer, but not milk chocolate. I admit that, despite my earlier witterings, I did use instant coffee just because I couldn't be bothered to brew some espresso, but as long as you have a couple of tablespoons of strong black coffee, it doesn't really matter which type it is: it's just there to give the chocolate a bit of balls (technical term).
Wooahhh Mama! Chocolate Tart 'o' Joy!
90g plain flour
50g cocoa powder
80g unsalted butter
30g ground almonds
60g golden caster sugar
1 large egg (free-range, natch, yet beaten)
240g plain chocolate (I used 70% cocoa)
60g unsalted butter
3 large eggs, separarted
90g golden caster sugar
6 tablespoons double cream
2 desertspoons strong coffee
- butter and flour a suitable ovenproof dish: mine was a shallow ceramic one, measuring 7.5"x11", though my book specifies a 9" round flan tin
- first, make the pastry: in a large bowl, sieve together the flour and cocoa powder
- add the sugar, ground almonds and stir together
- cube the butter, add to the powdery mixture and rub together with fingertips only to create a chocolatey crumble
- add the beaten egg to bind it all together in a ball of doughy promise, wrap in clingfilm and pop in the fridge for 30 minutes (or 24 hrs and 30 mins in my case as I forgot I was going out...)
- on a lightly floured surface, attempt to roll out thinly to a size suitable for your dish
- attempt to hoist the rolled dough into the greased receptacle, tutting as random shapes drip off your rolling pin Dali-style before exclaiming 'Oh fuck this' and popping pieces of rolled dough into the dish, squidging the seams together until it is fully lined and respectable looking
- pop the mangled case into the fridge for another 30 mins
- preheat the oven to 200C / 400F / Gas 6
- line the case with foil, cover with baking beans or dried beans (that you are not hoping to cook later) and bake blind for 15 minutes
- remove the beans and foil and bake again for another 15 mins
- now make the filling: melt the chocolate and butter together and allow to cool
- whisk the egg whites to form soft glacial peaks
- in another bowl, whisk together the yolks and sugar until frothy
- add the double cream and coffee to the bubblesome yolks and stir gently and respectfully
- pour in the buttery chocolate and using your respectful spoon, marry it all together
- fold in the egg whites with reverance...oh and a big metal spoon
- pour into the tart case, even out and bake for 20-25 mins
- allow to cool and serve with cream, ice cream or a good mate and weak-ass coffee (though delicious coffee of groovy brewing would be better)
Such was the potency of its' deliciousness, I completely forgot to take a photo of it, so you'll have to make do with this sadly executed digital scribble which, however, is a pretty accurate representation:
*dragged me, my arse: we skipped as if we were on the yellow brick road.
For further caffeine inspiration, why not follow The Guardian's helpful trail, or perhaps plough your way through Time Out's comprehensive list. The fabulous Cosy Coffee Shops blog produced a top 10 in January of the UK's best coffee shops, which, Hurrah!, also includes places outside of the London sprawl. It also includes some fabulous coffee shops from around the world as they are currently 'on tour'.

After introducing the concept of area yesterday by having students use patterns blocks to cover the surface of the smallest and largest book cover from books in their literacy bins, we discovered that squares tend to cover surfaces more efficiently than the other shapes.
Hence, when we worked on the practice question today, students began by using colour tiles to measure the area of a piece of paper.
Many of the students covered the full sheet of paper, but sure enough, some of them discovered "shortcuts". For example, one group decided to fold the paper in half, and measure only half the sheet's surface, then double their measurement results to get the area of the whole sheet. Several other groups discovered that you merely needed to line up one row of square tiles, and then figure out the number of tiles in the "vertical row" (as some of them called it), to see how many rows would be needed to cover the whole sheet. In this way, they were able to calculate the area of the sheet of paper without actually covering the whole thing.
It was exciting to see the lightbulbs go on for some students as the "short-cutters" explained their thinking during the debrief.
We'll further consolidate the learning about area with tomorrow's lesson, during which they'll explore shapes with the same area, but different perimeters, and calculate the area of a newpaper page that is taken up by advertisements vs. the area taken up by actual news articles.

Hi everyone! I hope everyone is having a great weekend so far! Our weekend has been so much fun with our friends/family coming to Houston to spend the weekend with us and also to celebrate my hubby's birthday!!
Today I'm talking all about my wonderful hubby Joe! So, he's not really into anything big on his day and would rather stay in, watch golf, and have a nice steak meal. But to me, it's the one day in the year that I truly go all out and make a big deal!! I mean it's his BIRTHDAY! (Okay, for those of you that don't know me, I'm a huge birthday celebrator person!! And once I find out it's your birthday, I make sure to celebrate you bigly or find a way to make you feel special!!)
I've been "celebrating" his birthday for the past nine years!! (Wow!!) And the first time I celebrated his day, I decked out his 800 sq ft apartment in banners, balloons, and food…for just the two of us! We were dating at the time and I wanted to make him feel so special on his day! I did't spare any details and I went all out!! Cherry pie…CHECK! French vanilla ice cream…CHECK! Root beer floats with cute straws…CHECK! Steelers memorabilia…CHECK! Let's just say he was impressed and couldn't believe all that I had done for him!
Fast forward nine years later and I'm still using the same banners and decorations. They may be a little worn and have aged over time but they still work and they are so significant to us! (Well, it's just fun being able to use them over and over and for so many years!) Not saying that Joe has aged simnifically over the past nine years but he has grown to be an amazing husband, partner, friend, and daddy.
He amazes me with each passing year how much love he has for the Lord and how he's such a dedicated follower of Christ. He leads our family everyday with prayer and also stories of how much Jesus loves us. I especially love seeing him lead our daughter, Izzy, in the scriptures and telling her about Jesus and she's able to understand! (Okay, I'm now crying while writing this).
Joe loves his family so much and would do anything for those he loves and cares for. That's just who he is and I love that characteristic about him. He's super sarcastic and witting but also very charming all at the same time! (Yep, that's how this casanova won me over!) I think that's a trait that his family just can't seem to appreciate about him but for some strange reason, I love that about him!
He is truly my best friend! He's my cool and calm when I'm totally freaking out! He's my happy when I'm sad. He's my silliness when I'm stern. God totally knew what He was doing when He put Joe and I together!
So today, I want to say Happy Birthday to my hubby Joe! Thank you for letting me celebrate nine years of your life with me (and three with Izzy) and making your day feel super special (even when I tend to go a little over board with decorations and desserts!) You deserve to feel spoiled and loved on your day!
Love, Christy

I was recently selected to take part in a Pantene Pro-V Ultimate 10 product review campaign, and wanted to share my thoughts! I received the products to try for free in exchange for an honest review on the BzzAgent website, but was not asked (and did not receive any compensation) to post my opinions here.
Ultimate 10 Shampoo – I love the scent of this product, and often receive compliments about how pretty my hair smells after using it!
When I first gave it a try, the shampoo stood out as being silky smooth feeling; and after massaging it into my hair, my whole hands felt soft. It surprised me that when I rinsed the product out my hair didn't feel oily or smooth. It was actually very dry, because the product had stripped all of the oils and residue from my hair. I like to use conditioner so I wasn't too worried about it, but I wouldn't recommend using just the shampoo on its own. If conditioner isn't your thing, the BB Crème is a great alternative that can be applied after showering.
Ultimate 10 Conditioner – This conditioner does a great job of restoring moisture. My hair looks shinier, feels lighter, and smells amazing after I use it!
As summer turns to fall; my long, straight, and quite fine, hair typically looks voluminous in an "it looks like you haven't brushed your hair in days" sort of way. And although I'm not a fan of the frizz, I don't particularly like when my lovely locks fall completely flat. I really appreciate that this conditioner doesn't weight my hair down and leave it looking limp. I would typically have to use a flat iron and styling products to achieve this look. And with two little girls who fill my days with adventure, I just don't have time for that.
Ultimate 10 BB Crème – This product is my Ultimate favourite! It was the first item that my oldest daughter and I reached for when my Bzz Kit showed up at the door. Even without having used the other products, the Crème did a great job of taming our wild manes.
While I like using it myself, the true magic for me happens when I use the BB Crème on my kids.
Brushing through the tangled hair of two unhappy girls as we tried to rush out the door every morning was an epic struggle. Now I quickly slather the BB Crème into my 3 year old's hair and the brush slides through the knots easily (assuming she'll sit still). My 6 year old daughter has even become excited about doing her own hair, and heads into the bathroom to do it – every day – without any prompting.
This is a BIG deal for me. I was becoming exasperated with battling to get a brush even close to these girls in the morning, and had basically given up. I bought them each a little brush to put in their back packs, and hoped that someone would point out their messy hair and they would be motivated to take better care of it. (As you probably guessed, that never happened.)
Since we've started using the Ultimate 10 line it's made for much happier mornings in our home, and it's even boosted my confidence because I feel great when we leave the house looking more put together.
Have you tried any of the Pantene Pro-V Ultimate 10 Products? I would love to hear about your experience!

Scythe Mugen 2 CPU Cooler (Page 4)
The Scythe Mugen 2 CPU Cooler
You now can easily see what I meant about "virtually" five separate coolers; one surrounding each chrome capped, copper heatpipe. The reason I say virtually is that if you look closely, you can see the bottom fin and about sixteen fins from there, there are solid fins to keep the five fin arrays structurally sound.
Moving further down, to get a closer look at what's going on under the 47 fin tower. You can see that Scythe's heatpipes surround a pre-cooler. The addition of this aluminum cooler to the top of the base can utilize case airflow to aide in the overall efficiency of the cooler. The copper heatpipes are mounted between this aluminum cooler and a nickel plated copper base.
Turning the Mugen 2 to the right gives yet another way the airflow can be directed through this cooler. Scythe has incorporated fan mounting options on both this side as well as the previous side.
The top of the Mugen 2 has ten chrome plated, hex head caps for each end of the five heatpipes; these match nicely against the aluminum fins. Notice each of the corners of the fins are double notched. This allows for coolers to be placed on any side of this cooler in any configuration you see fit for your specific case.
Doing most of the work is the base of the Mugen 2. Testing this base against a razor showed me that it is in fact very flat. The slight fine markings you see in the image are not as noticeable to the naked eye, it appears more mirror like under normal examination.
Here we have the 120mm fan mounted to the long side of the Mugen 2. You can see the fan does a nice job of covering the fin area, leaving room at both the top and the bottom. I did find during testing that having the fan a bit lower seemed to help temperatures, as some of the fan was blowing more at the pre-cooler in the base.
Another angle of the fan mounted to the long side to give you an idea of what it will look like installed in your machine.
As I mentioned, with the corners being double notched, the fan or fans can be placed on the short side as well. The fan now more than covers the fin area it needs to blow into, but has a longer path in this configuration. This is due to the M.A.P.S, or Multiple Airflow Pass-through Structure, simply meaning that the Mugen 2 is designed to work just as well in both airflow directions.
Once again, I am showing the fan mounted on the short side, again for perspective of how it would look in your case.

Thai skipper Theerathon chased by Cerezo Osaka in Japan - report
Thailand captain Theerathon Bunmathan is being chased by Cerezo Osaka, according to reports in Japan and his homeland.
The 27-year-old defender could become the second Thai international to the J.League, following in the footsteps of Chanathip Songkrasin, on loan with Consadole Sapporo.
Nikkei Sports reports that Cerezo could make a move to bring the player in for the 2017 J.League season.
The left-back is one of the biggest names in Southeast Asian football. He first caught Japanese attention by scoring two goals against Gamba Osaka while playing for Buriram United in the 2015 AFC Champions League (ACL).
After leaving Buriram for Muangthong United in 2016, Theerathon has gone from strength to strength, impressing with his performances for the national team during qualification for the 2018 World Cup. He also shone as Muangthong reached the knockout stage of the 2017 ACL.
As Japan has an agreement with Thailand, footballers from the country are not classed as foreign players.
Cerezo are currently fourth in the J.League and chasing a first-ever domestic championship.
Theerathon was last in international action on Sept. 5 when Thailand equalised against Australia in Melbourne before falling to a late 2-1 defeat.
He's earned 47 caps since 2010, scoring five goals, and winning the 2013 Southeast Asian (SEA) Games and 2016 AFF Suzuki Cup.

Yeah, not all that bright. This woman is not part of the Smart category. Almost gets eaten by a protozoa-monster because she can't figure out how to lift her foot out of a small hole in the ground that doesn't even come up to her ankle. She's more suited to a Darwin category, this one.
Plus, her voice overdub is really, really hideous. >.>

Microsoft's Windows 10 October 2018 update was pulled back after users started reporting of deleted data post installation. The update was re-released in November, but the roll out was phased and slow, and was based on device health and compatibility of apps. However, the company has now updated its help page to confirm that all advanced users will be able to download Windows 10 October 2018 version 1809 update moving forward. Advanced users are considered as those users who manually 'Check for updates' instead of waiting for it to be offered by Microsoft via a pop-up.
The support page for Windows 10 October 2018 version 1809 update has been updated to announce wider availability. The page reads, "Rollout Status as of December 17, 2018: Windows 10, version 1809, is now fully available for advanced users who manually select "Check for updates" via Windows Update." This means that all the 'advanced users' who actually head to Settings > Updates and Security to manually Check for updates will be able to download it. Of course, if your device is part of the incompatible list for the October 2018 update, your wait continues, and you probably won't find the update even if you check manually.
In any case, we do not recommend that you update manually, and wait for the update to be offered by Microsoft. The company only takes this proactive measure if it feels that the update is absolutely ready for commercial rollout. Given the October 2018 update's bad run so far, we wouldn't recommend you update manually.Read more ↓
Windows 10 October 2018 version 1809 update brought along issues of syncing with iCloud for Windows as well. Until the issue was addressed, Apple blocked Windows 10, version 1809 users from updating their iCloud app, and Microsoft was blocking devices with the latest version of iCloud installed from receiving the Windows 10 October 2018 Update. Apple recently updated iCloud for Windows to resolve this syncing issue.

The worst thing about being an expat wife is splitting life between two countries. And the best thing about being an expat wife is splitting life between two countries. We have to time phone calls just right, miss one family during the holidays, and deal with expensive flights and an exchange rate wildly out of our favor. On the other hand we have the perfect excuse to visit England anytime we want, play Austin tour guides on occasion, and –my personal favorite– swap our particular food and drink traditions, whether it be the esteemed Texas barbeque or the uniquely British pub culture.
Besides the image of a pint of bitter in front of a roaring fire, we all know the quintessential English garden: think roses in full bloom and lots of other flowery things that don't grow particularly well in Texas heat. Ya know, the old Mary, Mary, quite contrary…thanks to all that abundant rain, not only do the Brits have great flowers, they can also grow a staggering variety of fruits and vegetables. Granted we have the sunshine and heat necessary for some real treats like melons, okra, and hot peppers. But on a visit to my father-in-law's garden allotment, I couldn't help but be a bit green with envy. Rows of Japanese onions, trellised beans, berries, currants, gorgeous lettuces, potatoes, and who knows what else.
Dad and June's bountiful allotment is a short walk from their home in Bidford-on-Avon. They can be found there nearly every day, turning compost, tending plants in the greenhouse, and harvesting. They know the other gardeners, from the Japanese expat who modeled her garden after those from home to the man that prefers pesticides over hand weeding. Dad and June recently planted their first plum tree and explained that while they try new potato varieties, they always put in a row of Nadine, which are reliable and consistent. They eat what they grow; only stopping at the shop for milk, the butcher for meat, and the baker for bread. To me, it looks like simple living at its best. Besides, I always say that you don't slow down because you get old, you get old because you slow down. And what better way to stay young than growing food?

Elijah and Ahab Reconnect
Elijah said to Ahab, "Go up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of rushing rain."So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; there he bowed himself down upon the earth and put his face between his knees. He said to his servant, "Go up now, look toward the sea." He went up and looked, and said, "There is nothing." Then he said, "Go again seven times." At the seventh time he said, "Look, a little cloud no bigger than a person's hand is rising out of the sea." Then he said, "Go say to Ahab, 'Harness your chariot and go down before the rain stops you.'" In a little while the heavens grew black with clouds and wind; there was a heavy rain. Ahab rode off and went to Jezreel. But the hand of the Lord was on Elijah; he girded up his loins and ran in front of Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel (vv. 41-46).
The Lord Wins
Then the fire of the Lord fell and consumed the burnt offering, the wood, the stones, and the dust, and even licked up the water that was in the trench.When all the people saw it, they fell on their faces and said, "The Lord indeed is God; the Lord indeed is God." Elijah said to them, "Seize the prophets of Baal; do not let one of them escape." Then they seized them; and Elijah brought them down to the Wadi Kishon, and killed them there (vv. 38-40).
At noon Elijah mocked [the prophets of Baal], saying, "Cry aloud! Surely he is a god; either he is meditating, or he has wandered away, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he is asleep and must be awakened."
Law of the Excluded Middle
The Law of the Excluded Middle insists that 2 + 2 can't both be equal to four AND not equal to four.
The prophet makes a similar challenge:
Elijah then came near to all the people, and said, "How long will you go limping with two different opinions? If the Lord is God, follow him; but if Baal, then follow him."
"You Troubler of Israel"
King Ahab pulls out the big insults here.
Elijah is not amused and says, "Right back atcha!"
Risky Connections
Poor Obadiah is terrified to tell the king that he's actually found the prophet Elijah.
Without him, Elijah would never have had the opportunity to defeat the prophets of Baal.
Outline of 1 Kings 18
- Obadiah reluctantly connects Elijah with King Ahab
- Trash talk ensues
- Prophets of Baal fail
- Elijah succeeds
- Elijah commands King Ahab to eat and drink
- Elijah's servant finally sees a rain cloud
- Elijah commands King Ahab to hurry home

2014 Drury Plaza Hotel OpensJuly 22, 2014: The Drury Plaza Hotel in Santa Fe will be opening its doors on August 4th, the first new hotel to do so in downtown Santa Fe in more than 18 years. The Drury has given new life to a venerable landmark, the original 1954 territorial-style St. Vincent Hospital building, now remodeled and part of a state of the art resort style property that retains the timeless atmosphere of historic Santa Fe.
The hotel is set on five acres at the corner of E. Palace Avenue and Paseo de Peralta, two blocks from the center of downtown Santa Fe. The land has been revitalized, along with the historic structures, and now features gardens and a pedestrian promenade set with small plazas and lined with flowering trees leading through Cathedral Park to the iconic Santa Fe Plaza.
The 182-room property will be a full-service hotel with a restaurant, a 3,800 square foot ballroom adding to a total of 17,000 square feet of meeting space, and a year-round, solar-heated, rooftop pool with expansive views of the Southern Rocky Mountains. The hotel will also feature retail and gallery space, a large underground parking garage, a Wedding Grove in a lovely stand of newly planted trees and a sculpture garden at the entrance.
Of particular interest is the new restaurant created by Santa Fe native and award-winning chef John Rivera Sedlar. Named Eloisa after Sedlar's grandmother–also a professional chef–the restaurant will be open for lunch and dinner seven days a week serving Chef Sedlar's contemporary versions of the foods he first ate as a child. Sedlar was named "The Father of Modern Southwest Cuisine" by Gourmet magazine, 2011's "Chef of the Year" by Esquire magazine, and his Los Angeles restaurant Rivera, was acclaimed one of the "Best New Restaurants of 2011."
Combining a vintage façade and contemporary interior design, the Drury is a distinctive addition to Santa Fe's notable lodging choices. The Drury Plaza will offer a free hot breakfast buffet, complimentary adult beverages and light snacks at the 5:30 Kickback®, free, property-wide wireless internet, accessible business centers, remote printing and complimentary fitness center.
For more detailed information on Santa Fe and the Drury Plaza Hotel, visit www.santafe.org and www.druryplazasantafe.com.
