To address this need, Agilent's FieldFox family of RF and microwave analyzers makes it possible to make precise measurements under non-ideal conditions: in a hangar during a snowstorm, aboard a ship sailing rough seas, or at a satellite trailer in a sandstorm (Figure 1).
Figure 1. The handheld FieldFox microwave vector network analyzer enables favorable tradeoffs between speed, accuracy and calibration in the field.
When working in the field, reality often dictates the need for a balance between precision and practicality. In the case of vector network analysis, the key tradeoffs are between speed, accuracy and the complexity of the calibration process. This article will focus on analyzer configurations and calibration methods that support high quality vector network measurements in a short amount of time.

Fall is upon us, and as we begin to transition into the cold and flu season, we should start to think about how we can boost our immune systems preemptively. By eating healthy and staying fit throughout the year, we can keep our immune systems strong and less susceptible to the illnesses that tend to plague us during the fall and winter months. Maintaining a consistent yoga practice keeps the immune system strong and healthy, ready to fight off any bug that may try to take up its abode in the body. One of the most influential figures in modern day yoga, Indra Devi, stated that with yoga, "You will be able to enjoy better sleep, a happier disposition, a clearer and calmer mind. You will learn how to build up your health and protect yourself against colds, fevers, constipation, headaches, fatigue, and other troubles."
Yoga is unique in that it benefits nearly all of the systems in your body. It stimulates the circulatory, digestive, nervous, and endocrine systems, which are all linked to the immune system. It detoxifies and oxygenates the body, promotes circulation and keeps the white blood cells moving about the body, fighting off invaders. It stimulates the lymphatic system and helps you eliminate toxins. Yoga also improves digestion, and we know that healthy digestion is a fundamental building block to total overall health. Yoga also helps balance the hormones and reduce fatigue.
The endocrine system works with the nervous system and the immune system to help the body fight bacterial and viral invaders. Yoga benefits the endocrine system by decreasing the stress hormones that negatively impact the immune system and deplete it of strength. If you are getting sick often then your immune system is not strong enough, and for many of us the culprit is stress.
Notably, yoga helps reduce inflammation. Inflammation can lead to chronic disease and is the cause of many of the ailments we experience. A recent study published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology found that in a trial conducted with two groups of breast cancer survivors, the group that practiced yoga during a three-month period had 10-15% lower markers for inflammation than the group who did not practice yoga. Thanks to the current popularity of such an ancient practice, in conjunction with advancements in science, the long touted benefits of yoga are now being scientifically proven.
Along with the biological benefits of practicing yoga, there are the numerous emotional and psychological benefits that yoga introduces. Yoga teaches you mindfulness and awards you with a greater sense of inner peace by helping you to focus on the present, release the past, and worry less about the future. Simply by learning how to breathe fully and deeply, the mind is calmed, stress hormones are reduced, and your overall wellbeing is significantly improved. Yoga has the ability to bring ease to the body and mind by helping you to release emotions that accumulate in your body and often lead to physical and/or mental dis-ease. It helps us to move forward and let go of the old.
In general, yoga and meditation foster a more relaxed state of being, which keeps us from running ourselves ragged, and reminds us to take time to care for ourselves body, mind and spirit. Meditation also reduces the instances of illness by decreasing cortisol (stress hormone) levels, and increasing endorphins.
Leap into this new season with a fresh perspective on wellness by taking a preventative stance on illness. You will be amazed at how much more easily you are able to stave off sickness when you practice yoga regularly. It works on both the body and mind to create a healthy temple, strong enough to fend off the invaders of cold and flu season, and even those winter blues. Certainly the change of seasons is always a good opportunity to transition out of old ways and into new, more life-giving ways. Take the time to assess where you are at spiritually, emotionally and physically, and just as nature begins its cycle of death and rebirth, let this be a time of releasing that which no longer serves you, and beginning to cultivate new ways of thinking and being; ways that bring strength, vitality and joy to your being.

"Away from the wine-cup, away, my boy,
From the revelers' haunt, away!
Ere he claim you as his prey!"
Twas a mother's warning, loving voice, that bade her son
For her faithful heart foresaw in the cup a hidden, lurking snare;
And she dreaded the convict's weary cell—the drunkard's unwept grave.
For she knew the vigils mothers keep for those they would die to save;
And again her tones of saintly love, that thrilled with accents mild,
With clarion power rang out that night, to guard her erring child.
"Haste, haste, my boy, for a serpent lurks
In that vintage rare and old,
His victim, fold on fold!"
But her son still sat in the hall of mirth while sport and
jest were high; For what cared he for her pleading words, or her bitter wailing cry?
The shrill night wind went shrieking past, and the mockers
laughed with joy, A.s they pledged m the wine-cup's ruddy red, " The widow's
darling boy!"
And they said, " Here's warmth, and life, and cheer; and
the chains her fancy sees Are but links of flowers—the daisy chains! We'll snap them
when we please!"
They shouted in glee, until there arose
A drunkard, with age bowed down,
Their unseemly words to drown.
"Behold," cried he, " the piteous wreck a thirst for strong drink has made!
What I am now you yet may be, by the self-same foe betrayed!
You look on me as a loathsome wretch, a thing for scoffs and jeers,
To be hooted at by boys in the streets—too low for a woman's tears!
But a mother's love once plead for me, as now your mother pleads—
As I thmk how I broke her faithful heart, my heart with anguish bleeds!"
His palsied hand then dropped to his side,
And the old man gasped for breath;
For they felt 'twas the stroke of death!
Then over the form of the poor old man, whom they had oft abhorred,
With right hands raised in sight of death, they pledged,
with one accord, To taste no more of the flowing bowl, or " look on the wine
when red."
Lest they should fill unhonored graves or lie as the un
mourned dead; And by the fait h of a mother's love, that had plead for her
son that night,
They pledged henceforth, their hearts and lives to temperance, truth, and right.
New York Weekly.
BENEATH THE SURFACE.—W. F. Fox.
Beneath the surface there is wealth,
Though often hid from view:
And miss the good and true.
As deepest currents ever glide
Where scarce a ripple floats,
And souls their sweetest notes.
We see the light that faintly beams;
But, from its feeble glow,
Beneath the outward flow.
We deem the mountains proud and grand;
Their wealth is not in show:
Lies deep and far below.
We ever judire by outward show
And by the surface we would know
The prize we seek to win.
The rank and dress will oft deceive
The worth of soul to tell,
Where birth unkindly fell.
We gather stones that round us lie,
And shells of dullest ray,
And fling the pearls away.
And many thoughts that fill the mind,
And virtues of the soul,
Deep hid within their goal.
And many hearts beat warm with love
We never heed, nor pause to prove,
The objects that we cherish most
Are clear to us, we know;
Because 'tis hid below.
No man can be truly great without money, and the easiest way to get money is to take it on every occasion, no matter whose it may be. I mean to be truly great.
It is safe to say, the way society is now constituted, that an honest man is a foul; and if a knave is not the noblest work of God, then what is he? I think that is very well put—what is he? Look at him as he moves in the highest circles of society, swaggers along the sidewalk, talks of stocks, bonds, and mortgages, and boasts his untold wealth, and say what is he?
As for me, I mean to move in the highest circles of society. I am going to Congress to make money. I shall refuse no bribe, and .shut my eyes to corruption. I care nothing for my constituents; let them look out for themselves. That is their business; my business is to get money, and bo truly great, and move in the highest circles of society. Honesty is the best policy for everybody but me. I'll none of it. Not I.
I do not purpose to steal from any private individual, and make myself answerable to the laws; but if any man wants a job put through,by which the people can bo robbed, and a large share of the plunder find its way into my pocket, you may count on me. I am not a common ruffian; I am a hightoned congressman. I do not knock a man down with a bludgeon, and go through his pockets; but I offer my congressional services, and then it is nothing to me who knocks him down after that. I can only say that I fear he would be poor picking after I get through with him.
I am a man of enterprise. I go in for railroads and canals—not so much because these things are public benefits, r.s because they open a channel for wealth to flow into my coffers from the pockets of the unsuspecting public. There is nothing better than money. My religion is money. My patriotism is money. I am perfectly willing to be a patriot, if I am paid for it. I am for sale. Whoever pays my price can have me.
I am not the only public-spirited patriot of this kind in the United States. You can find hundreds of them in every place of public trust, from a petty postmaster up to the most dignified senator. They all love their country—-for money.
Grab and grasp is the watchword of the day. Steal while you can, for when you are dead, politically or physically, you cannot. A few addle-pates talk about putting honest men in office; but it can't be done. We have got the power, for we have got the money; and the more money we get the more power we shall have. We have struck a mine, >nd we don't mean to let go our grip. Honest men can't sope with us, because they are not up to all the tricks of the professional politician. Oh, no! I tell you honesty is at a fearful discount. The people don't want it. They prefer being bled by knaves and rogues; and I, for one, am perfectly willing to let them have their way. Let them bleed if they like it.
Fellow-citizens, these are not my sentiments. They are not the outipoken words of any office-seeker. Oh.no; but actions speak louder than words.
LAUGH AND GROW FAT— W. M. Phaed.
There's nothing here on earth deserves
One half the thought we waste about it, And thinking but destroys the nerves,
When we could do as well without it. If folks would let the world go round,
And pay their tithes, and eat their dinners, Such doleful looks would not be found
To frighten us poor laughing sinners.
One plagues himself about the sun,
And puzzles on, through every weather, What time he'll rise—how long he'll run,
And when he'll leave us altogether. Now matters it a pebble-stone,
Whether he dines at six or seven? If they dou't leave the sun alone,
At last they'll plague him out of heaven I Never sigh when you can sing, But laugh, like me, at everything!
Another spins from out his brains
Fine cobwebs to amuse his neighbors, And gete, for all his toil and pains,
Reviewed and laughed at for his labors; Fame is his star! and fame is sweet:
And praise is pleasanter than honey— /write at just so much a sheet.
And Messrs. Longman pay the money.
My brother gave his heart away
To Mercandotti, when he met her, She married Mr. Ball one day—
He's gone to Sweden to forget her; I had a charmer, too—and sighed
And raved all day and night about her r
And I—am just as fat without her.
For tears are vastly pretty things,
And sighs are music's sweetest strings,

The Cannes winner may not be realistic, but there are plenty of lesbian movies about love that are.
A lesbian-themed film won at Cannes. Wow! How is that possible? Why did it happen? Is it a film that shows the reality of lesbian life, love and coming out? Or does it pander to heterosexual ideas of lesbian love and turn lesbian sex into a porn show?
Abdellatif Kechiche's Blue Is The Warmest Color walked off with two trophies at this year's Cannes film festival: the Palme d'Or and a special award for its two lead actresses, Adele Exarchopoulos and Lea Seydoux.
Lesbian film is taking off. The quality of films coming out in this genre is growing. The actors involved are well-known in the industry, often award winners themselves. The cinematography is increasingly well-done and often amazingly beautiful. The scripts are well-written and the acting has moved from amateurish and stilted to experienced and smooth, with excellent story-telling and directing.
Lesbian-themed films are also becoming more accepted in the mainstream. This may be a result of the fantasy of straight men who carry around the idea that a threesome with two women is the height of sexual experience. The problem with that is, of course, that there are very few lesbians who are interested in being a character in that "home movie."
(Now if you're interested in breaking out of your dating rut and finding real lesbian love, check out my free gift by clicking here to learn more.)
The author of the book on which the film is based, Julie Maroh, says that she views the film version as having turned something beautiful about lesbian life into porn. She's also disappointed that none of the actresses are actual lesbians.
Another recent film release is A Perfect Ending, starring an interesting cast including Barbara Niven as the lead, playing a married woman who has never had an orgasm. Her life is passing by too fast and she wants to feel passion. She hooks up with a high-end prostitute played by Jessica Clark (who is, of course, gorgeous). David Niven also stars in the movie as Barbara Niven's husband.
Here is a beautiful story involving a woman in mid-life and a younger woman who becomes her lover about how love helps them heal from losses in their lives. Keep reading...

It is sometimes necessary to defend illustration as a legitimate art form against the nay-sayers. Champions of conservative and traditional art forms occasionally need reminding of illustration's established status as the universal language of the world. Before text we had images, even if those images were half formed scrawls across the walls of caves in Lascaux.
Illustration has developed explosively since then. Even with the rise of literacy in the 18th century, the satire of cartoonist William Hogarth was as effective as that of the poets Jonathan Swift or Alexander Pope., and far more accessible. Austerity and Invention, the current exhibition at the Stanley and Audrey Burton Gallery, shows how the work of William Heath Robinson and others moved the genre forward and is an interesting point of comparison for the illustration of today.
If for nothing else illustration should be lauded for its role in our formative years. It's so important because often it constitutes most of a narrative for children before they are literate. Famous Author-Illustrator double acts tower over the nations collective consciousness; think Road Dahl and Quentin Blake for instance.
When researching material to fuel this column I found myself flicking through 'The Melancholy death of Oyster Boy', a book of illustrated poetry by Tim Burton, given to me by a friend. His illustrations carry the signature flavor that mark out his films; that equal measure of the endearing and unnerving. Burton draws sexual encounters with kitchen appliances and a boy with nails in his eyes unsuccessfully putting up a Christmas tree. It occurred to me that illustrators can commit transgressions which others, such as photographers for instance, would never be forgiven. Black ink forms the parameters within which to safely explore the eerie, grotesque and macabre as well as the comic and satirical.
While fine art has always struggled with the everyday Joe in terms of accessibility, illustration has become the inescapable, indeed indispensable art form of the moment, thriving in both its digital and hand rendered forms.
It seems that for illustrators the Holy Grail is consistency and simplicity. Single lines can speak as eloquently as whole pages and the development of a style is the key to gaining recognition. Once a signature style has been created it stands out to viewers, unmistakable. Perhaps that is why I find myself, against my will, clocking Jacqueline Wilson books on the shelves of Waterstones (Thanks Nick Sharratt). Its not unlike a graffiti tag and is fired by the same primordial instinct that makes dogs wee on trees.
Illustration has a longstanding relationship with animation but it is its recent marriage with graphic design that has boosted its PR among students. More and more often illustration forms a tripartite with music and clothing. Increasingly we are seeing brands like the Leeds based Gold Hands Collective. In addition to frequently posting 'scribbles' for fans on their facebook page they run a clubnight and a t-shirt company. It will be interesting to see how illustration develops even further in the future.

"Meet the Parents." Check. But, "Meet the Pets?"
One expert says that's just as important when finding a mate.
Prospective lovers, and pet-lovers in general, will mingle at a pre-Valentine benefit at a Manhattan hotel tonight. Wendy Diamond, author of "It's A Dog's World," created "Yappy Hour" in 2001. The singles parties for people and dogs raise awareness for animal rescue.
No dog date? No worries. You can "rent" a canine escort for a donation.
Diamond also has tips for wooing a pet lover. For instance: Bring a squeaky toy along with the wine or flowers. Make eye contact with your date, but not with the pet. Some animals consider that a threat.

A fruit salsa for your pickiest eater!
This fruit salsa is my go to for all occasions! I have a friend whose daughter is extremely picky and turns down many dishes with fresh produce. I brought this fruit salsa to our get together, she kept eating it and finally asked, "Why is this so good, like better than usual stuff???" I had a little secret ingredient!
Super easy, budget friendly, doesn't take a long time, feeds a crowd = we have a winner!
Fruit salsa recipe :
1-2 Granny Smith apples
1-2 kiwi
1 pint of fresh strawberries
If I have red grapes on hand, I add those as well (optional )
Chop the fruit into small chunks
Mix well
Add 1-2 drops of any Citrus Vitality Essential Oils (I really enjoy Jade Lemon, Citrus Fresh, Lemon, Lime, and Orange . You can pick just a few or whatever you have on hand!) I mix the oils in a 1/2 cup of water and just pour over the chopped fruit.
I typically serve it with Cinnamon chips, like Stacy's pita chips (or you can bake your own Tortilla sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar until light brown) .
Take this to your next church gathering or an office party. You will be famous!
Much love ,
Lenna Rivera

one. I was worried I would get into an accident and the load may well shift.
2. These are perishable foodstuff and I'm on a restricted timetable, all suitable?
3. You attempt driving loads throughout place day after day. See how quite a few mishaps you have.
4. It could have been even worse, suitable?
five. Imagine of it this way. Though you are in the medical center, you can have that checkup you have been putting off.
six. Probably I did you a favor. That car of yours isn't going to glimpse all that safe and sound.
seven. Would have been even worse if I might jackknifed.
eight. Hey, I only clipped you. What are you complaining about?
nine. Anyone falls asleep on the highway when in awhile.
10. I honked. These things do not end on a dime, you know.
Here are 10 actual strategies of suggestions from a truck accident law firm to follow if you have been in an accident. You can also learn additional about how to deal with a private personal injury in Irvine, or any town, by contacting the Regulation Offices of R. Sebastian Gibson at any of the figures which can be uncovered on our website at http://www.SebastianGibsonLaw.com and studying how we can help you.
Certainly, if you have experienced an accident, and you are looking at all of this suggestions, it may have been a several several hours given that the accident. Even so, if you ever have an additional accident, or if it's only been a several several hours given that you have been hurt, here is what you really should do from the begin.
Initially, just take a glimpse all over and identify if you or anybody, are hurt. If so, using methods like making an attempt to avoid further more personal injury or decline of blood are the most significant detail you can do. Even if some other driver induced you to be injured, it's just good manners to enable the other driver if they are hurt. They may even be so thankful that they acknowledge their fault to you. The worst detail you can do is get indignant or begin a combat.
2nd, make certain absolutely everyone is safe and sound from remaining injured further more. If you are in the center of website traffic, and you are dizzy, sit down absent from website traffic. If your car or truck is a website traffic hazard and you have accident warning gadgets like flares or triangles, set them out on the highway to warn other motorists and get absent from the car. Allow the law enforcement an other unexpected emergency personnel look into the scene with the vehicles in location and shift them additional safely at a later position.
3rd, contact the law enforcement. Incident reports are incredibly useful if the law enforcement will do this kind of a report. Allow the law enforcement know you are injured immediately. Response the law enforcement concerns honestly. But if you are dazed or baffled, enable them know you will need clinical procedure and solution only what you sense certain about. Don't forget, your statements can and will be utilized against you if you acknowledge fault, and it will be also late and also fishy to later say you didn't know what you have been indicating at the scene. Police know that your most effective recollection is immediately after an accident.
Fourth, get the other driver's information and facts which includes their names, addresses, driver's license figures, make and model of their vehicles, license plate figures, and their insurance firm name and coverage quantity. If there are witnesses, get their names, addresses and phone figures as well. If the other driver tends to make any admissions of fault, write people down as well.
Fifth, if you have a digicam on your mobile phone or in the car and you are not also injured, just take some pics of the vehicles and the scene. If you are unable to do it suitable absent, do it after you are unveiled from the medical center.
Sixth, if you are hurt, get hold of clinical procedure. Really don't decline the ambulance or medical center examination to help save your insurance firm revenue or to be stoic. Consider your valuables out of your car if you can and get checked out at the medical center. If you are not hurt, do not get procedure you do not will need. Even so, remember, after an accident, you may sense a rush of adrenaline that triggers you to only begin emotion indicators of ache a several several hours later. If you have a overall health prepare that necessitates you to get hold of permission 1st, contact them and come across out exactly where you are permitted to seek procedure.
Seventh, contact a good truck accident attorney as quickly as you have experienced your original procedure, so the law firm can obtain other significant proof and avoid the insurance firm from using advantage of you and acquiring this kind of things as recorded statements that you sense high-quality, when quite a few of your indicators have but to manifest them selves. A good truck accident law firm can help save you from producing a fantastic offer of problems and can shoulder significantly of the stress of knowing what to do about car repairs, car rentals, clinical procedure, witness statements and the like. If you feel you will help save revenue by not getting an attorney, feel all over again. A good truck accident law firm can nearly generally get hold of significantly better settlements, get hold of reductions of clinical bills and insurance liens and avoid you from producing high-priced problems. Also, most truck accident lawyers advance expenditures of acquiring law enforcement reports, clinical information and the like and are paid and reimbursed for these expenditures only out of any settlement.
8, you will will need to report the accident to your insurance firm, but given that they will want to just take a recorded statement from you, just like any other driver's insurance firm, it's good suggestions to keep an attorney 1st. And if the other driver did not have insurance, remember that it is your very own insurance firm that will be your adversary. You will also will need to report the accident to the Department of Motor Vehicles and your law firm can give you the kind for this.
Ninth, do not agree to settle your assert privately with the individual at fault for the accident. This nearly hardly ever operates out to your advantage. Really don't agree not to contact the law enforcement. Police reports that identify the fault for an accident are golden. Your arrangement to not require the law enforcement only affords an prospect for the other driver to adjust his tale and blame you when the law enforcement will no extended look into the accident.
Tenth, do not shell out a website traffic ticket without a combat if you weren't at fault or agree to accept a modest payment for your car or truck repairs without knowing that the sum will in truth cover the price tag of all the repairs.
If you have experienced a truck accident in Orange County, Newport Seashore, Anaheim, Irvine, Huntington Seashore, Corona del Mar, Laguna Seashore, Santa Ana, Orange, Fullerton, costa Mesa, Westminster, Buena Park, Mission Viejo, Backyard Grove, Laguna Niguel, San Clemente, Chino Hills, or anywhere in Southern California, we have the know-how and methods to be your Newport Seashore Truck Incident Lawyer and your Irvine Truck Incident Attorney.

You all know my feelings about New Years!! I've written about it quite a lot over the years. My routines, traditions, customs, goals, resolutions, etc. This year I'm keeping things simple with a single theme. BOLD MOVES! That is my intention for 2014 in all areas of my life!!
Now I was going to do the usual picture montage, recapping last year's accomplishments, finished projects, etc but then thought why… Let's just start with something new…something BOLD, a bit out of character and something I'm totally in love with. Not to mention perfect for the upcoming drop in temperature and snow storm…
The first finished item for 2014…
Inspira Cowl by Graphica, Mesa Rock version, modeled bravely (it was freezing this morning) by my beautiful sister.
I could write about how much I love this for page after page but I'll let the pictures speak for me.
I can't take the credit for how beautiful it is…It's the pattern and the yarn…Noro Silk Garden, colorway #349 & 359 (2 skeins of each) The long repeats blended so perfectly!!!
For the bind off I tried a couple of things and decided on a twisted applied Icord bind off. It worked like a charm. The goal was to keep the neck from "slouching" without being too tight. Mission accomplished!!
Can I just say again how much I love this cowl. And the yarn! It's the first time I've ever knit with Noro yarn. I know, I can hear the gasping. It's always felt "scratchy" to me and not "plied enough", I know, I know…I'm an idiot. But now it's a definite favorite…better late than never!!!
COLOR…BEAUTIFUL BOLD COLOR!!! Yet still earthy…
Even though she's not smiling she was very smitten with this cowl. I was just shy of wrestling it off her. She wanted to "wear it awhile"…not this one sister!!!
This one is for me. A reminder to step out of my comfort zone, try something new and to be bold!!!
Happy New Year Everyone!!! Make it a great one!!!

Recently I had the distinct pleasure of attending a couple of events that highlighted the scale and scope of four major development projects taking place in Oakland, California.
One of the most interesting projects is one that I drive by every day along the Oakland estuary directly across from my home town, Alameda. It's called Brooklyn Basin for obvious reasons, its similarity to Brooklyn. The $1.5 billion housing project sits on 65 acres, has over a mile of waterfront trails and is bounded by the Embarcadero, Oak Street and the estuary. It consists of 200,000 square feet of offices and store fronts, 3,100 housing units and 30 acres of parks and open space all on gorgeous waterfront. Wow, now this is something I can get excited about. Take a look at this spectacular video by Michael Sechman.
As a multi-family real estate broker, advisor and investor, it is imperative to understand all the large development projects in my market and how they will effect real estate owners. Brooklyn Basin has captured my imagination first and foremost because it is directly across the estuary from Alameda's Encinal Yacht Club where my daughter takes the renowned Jr. Sailing program. And I can tell you the run down industrial waste land that currently sits at Clinton Basin is more than an eyesore, it is a downright visual and environmental hazard.
Another reason I love this project is because in the East Bay, where graffiti-adorned store fronts, crime-riddled streets and mattresses on the sidewalks are the word of the day, we really need more upscale amenities and high-end experiences. Brooklyn Basin is sure to deliver thank you Ghielmetti! Signature Development Corp. partnered with a Chinese firm and former Mayor Jerry Brown green lighted the project. I got to meet Mike Ghielmetti and hear him speak recently at the Oakland Structures event and I was impressed with his acumen. Here is an insightful video of Mike explaining his Oakland development project. I am extremely excited to watch this vision transform Oakland and the estuary.

2016 Inspired Service Recognition Dinner honors Patricia S. Scott
October 21, 2016
Mrs. Scott, a longtime resident of Rydal Park, has inspired and helped many through her gracious works of charity and compassionate spirit.
2016 Inspired Service Photo Recap
Presby's Inspired Life held its 2016 Inspired Service Recognition Dinner on the evening of Thursday, Oct. 20 at the Philadelphia Hilton City Avenue.
This year's recipient of the annual Inspired Service Award was Patricia S. Scott, a civic leader, philanthropist and longtime resident of Presby's Inspired Life's Rydal Park community.
In her 13 years at Rydal Park, Mrs. Scott has displayed her benevolent spirit and commitment to serve others through numerous works of charity. Through Mrs. Scott's generosity, a state-of-the-art medical center was opened at Rydal Park in 2011. Named in memory of Mrs. Scott's late husband, the Joseph C. Scott Medical Center at Rydal Park
continues to serve residents with unparalleled nursing and rehabilitative care.
"While I am truly humbled to accept the Inspired Service Award, I feel a sense of shared ownership with many of you, and, most certainly, my husband, Joe," Mrs. Scott said during her acceptance speech.
"Tonight, I want all of you to know that this is not just my award. Instead, it is a tribute to Rydal Park, the beautiful community that is home to more than 500 residents and friends, including the dedicated staff members, whose talents greet us each day."
The Inspired Service Dinner is the most important annual fundraising event on Presby's Inspired Life's calendar. The event honors those who make a difference in the community while displaying the spirit that personifies Presby's mission of addressing the needs of older adults.
"So many of us admire Pat, who has dedicated much of her life to service," said Presby's Inspired Life President and CEO Judee M. Bavaria. "Working with Pat, I am reminded of a very valuable lesson: when a need exists and a passionate spirit ensues, the results can change lives."
All proceeds from the Inspired Service Recognition Dinner benefit the Compassionate Care Fund, which provides benevolent assistance and living enhancements to residents in Presby's Residential and Affordable Housing communities.

A complete game, two-hit shutout against the weak-hitting San Diego Padres had to get him thinking. And it just as easily had the rest of us questioning his future, as well.
What would it be like if Felix Hernandez pitched in the National League? Last night may very well have been a preview of that distinct possibility.
In nine innings of work against the Pads, Felix allowed two singles — one to Tony Gwynn, Jr., another to Kevin Kouzmanoff — struck out six, walked four, and threw an ace-like 117 pitches. He dominated from start to finish and not only displayed his full range of ability, but also the stark contrast in talent between the hitter-friendly American League and the pitcher-friendly National League.
It's no secret that the NL has been kind to pitchers over the years. With pitchers forced to bat and no designated hitter in place, opposing defenses are asked to get eight hitters and one pushover (in most cases) out each time through the lineup. Not so in the AL, where nine capable bats trot to the plate in succession of one another.
For a pitcher, the NL has been a veritable fountain of youth. Jamie Moyer, for example, has extended his career longer than the Mariners thought possible when they traded him to Philadelphia in 2006. Likewise, Randy Johnson went from being a great, aging pitcher in the AL to being an elite, dominant force well into his forties in the NL.
Guys like Chris Carpenter, Mike Hampton, and CC Sabathia went from being good pitchers in the American League, to putting up Cy Young-caliber numbers in the National League (Carpenter won the award in 2005).
Perhaps even more telling than the aforementioned names is a guy like Jose Lima. A below-average (some might even say bad) pitcher in the AL, Lima was an All-Star in the NL pitching for the Houston Astros from 1997 through 2000.
Prior to his career-making stint in Houston, Lima had struggled in parts of three seasons with Detroit, before finding himself a Tiger once again in 2001. From '01 to '03, Lima was mediocre while spending time with Detroit and Kansas City. In 2004, he returned to the NL with the Los Angeles Dodgers and gave a rejuvenated performance, going 13-5 with a 4.07 ERA. In '05, Lima came back to the AL with the Royals and faltered once again, and by 2006 he was out of the big leagues at just 33 years of age.
Not that Felix Hernandez necessarily has anything in common with these other pitchers, or that he would even continue this trend (if we can call it that) of finding greater success in the NL if he made the switch. But it's worth mentioning, at least, that Felix Hernandez as a National League pitcher is a very real possibility in the semi-near future.
Hernandez is under Seattle's control until after the 2011 season, and he has yet to entertain any talk of a contract extension. In all likelihood, it appears that he may be headed towards free agency when the '11-'12 offseason commences, and if that's the case the Mariners will be in murky waters trying to compete with the other ballclubs in Major League Baseball.
As Mariner fans can attest, one can only hope that Hernandez and Seattle can agree on a contract extension before 2011. But if that doesn't happen, we may one day see King Felix regularly tossing complete-game, two-hit shutouts.
As a National League pitcher.

I used to listen to this on cassette and REWIND and listen over and over!

This isn't true, right?
The article claims that it's as ordinary as can be for gay men these days to criticize straight women to their faces about their fashion choices and grab their boobs like it's alright because they're not sexually oriented in that way. I've never seen this behavious in anyone, of any gender or sexual orientation. I'm sure there must be people out there who are that rude, but a common behaviour in gays? While I was reading the article I was instantly reminded of that post you once wrote about how you shied away from telling a woman how much you like her look (when you do) because you had done that once and she reacted with such fear that you just felt bad. Is this grabing boobs and criticinzing random strangers a new unfortunate behaviour, or is it, as I suspect, just a dishonest article created by someone who is trying to stir controversy by inventing a new negative cliché to attach to the gay community?

Id say its not true for sure. People just need content so people write anything. You can't grab a girls breasts, gay, straight or female.

Hay Day is an international freemium farming simulator video game developed by Supercell, a Finnish video game company. Hay Day was released on June 21, 2012 on iOS and on November 20, 2013 on Android.
"Hay Day" is a portmanteau of "hay" and "hey day", a very dated expression meaning a period of prosperity and happiness.
Gameplay and main features
Hay Day involves growing crops, cultivating trees and bushes, crafting products and raising animals and pets on a farm. Players can trade goods with non-playable characters (visitors) as well as other players to earn coins and experience points and progress in the game.
Leveling up is an important factor, as more items, crops, features, buildings are unlocked as the player progresses. Two extra playing areas --the fishing lake and the town-- also become available when players reach certain levels.
Decorations and customizations can be bought to spruce up a farm. Events regularly occur, giving players rarer or expensive items as rewards for winning challenges. Players can chat and help each other in neighborhoods and compete for prizes in derby races. The game also gets thematic seasonal changes.
The games starts showing the player's character receiving a letter in their city home. The letter reads:
Greeting from your uncle! So how'd you like to be a farmer? I've decided to retire. The farm is yours if you want it!
The player takes their uncle up on the offer and moves to the countryside.
The player then meets Mr. Wicker, a talking scarecrow, which guides them through the first levels. As they progress they learn a bit more about their uncle's life at the farm:
- they meet Angus, an old friend of the player's uncle, when the player goes to the fishing lake for the first time. Angus guides them through the first steps and shows them their uncle's Fishing Book.
- later in the game, they get word that the city mayor has been very impressed with their work at the farm. As a reward the player gets to rebuild and expand the town their uncle and the mayor were working on.
Players also meet other non-playing characters and get the sense that their farms are part of a larger community through various features:
- Neighbors, called visitors in the game, come up to the player's farm. Town visitors come up to the player's town.
- Greg, one of the visitors and the local lumberjack, becomes their first friend.
- Alfred delivers mail and packages every day.
- Tom, an errand boy, lingers in front of their farm.
- Ernest and Rose, who can be hired as farm hands, live on the cliff above the farm.
- Maggie, a builder, comes to the farm every week.
- The city mayor regularly asks for their help or issue challenges via public letters displayed on the event board.
- Players can send items to particular places and the city in general through their trucks and riverboats.
The game currently has no linear plot and the player has free rein over their farm. There is no end-game scenario, as the game is constantly updated (although some argue that when you have unlocked all products and have completed all achievements the game has come to an end, in a way).
Main article: Version History
The game has never stopped being developed since its release. Its developers periodically add new items and new features to the game.
The game is available in Arabic, Chinese (simplified and traditional), Cyrillic, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Norwegian Bokmål, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Vietnamese, and Turkish.

Vaba LavaDisplay the addressTelliskivi Loomelinnak, Telliskivi 60a, C1
Tickets 25.-/20.-
A special project is dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the international jazz festival Tallinn-67, which marked an important moment in the music life of Estonia and the Soviet Union in 1967. The event that reached the front page of New York Times featured the by now legendary Charles Lloyd Quartet. However, since the powers that be feared to impose a strong Western influence on the Soviet people, this festival was to be the last of the tradition that had begun in 1949. The biggest star of the Soviet Union and the biggest jazz party in Tallinn in 1967 was Zbigniew Namyslowski. His improvisational talent is still strong and always open for new directions. At the time a teenager, Tõnu Naissoo's modern deep jazz could have easily been among the best in Europe, but the closed borders didn't allow for the music to spread further.

This bilingual blog - 'आन्याची फाटकी पासोडी' in Marathi- is largely a celebration of visual and/or comic ...तुकाराम: "ढेकणासी बाज गड,उतरचढ केवढी" (Tukaram: For a bedbug a bed is like a castle. so much climbing up and down!)... George Santayana: " Everything in nature is lyrical in its ideal essence, tragic in its fate, and comic in its existence"...William Hazlitt: "Pictures are scattered like stray gifts through the world; and while they remain, earth has yet a little gilding."

G C Lichtenberg: "It is as if our languages were confounded: when we want a thought, they bring us a word; when we ask for a word, they give us a dash; and when we expect a dash, there comes a piece of bawdy."
Friedrich Nietzsche: "Everybody wants the same, everybody is the same: whoever feels different goes voluntarily into a madhouse."
Martin Amis: "Gogol is funny, Tolstoy in his merciless clarity is funny, and Dostoyevsky, funnily enough, is very funny indeed; moreover, the final generation of Russian literature, before it was destroyed by Lenin and Stalin, remained emphatically comic — Bunin, Bely, Bulgakov, Zamyatin. The novel is comic because life is comic (until the inevitable tragedy of the fifth act);..."
सदानंद रेगे:
"... पण तुकारामाची गाथा ज्या धुंदीनं आजपर्यंत वाचली जात होती ती धुंदी माझ्याकडे नाहीय. ती मला येऊच शकत नाही याचं कारण स्वभावतःच मी नास्तिक आहे."

John Gray: "Unlike Schopenhauer, who lamented the human lot, Leopardi believed that the best response to life is laughter. What fascinated Schopenhauer, along with many later writers, was Leopardi's insistence that illusion is necessary to human happiness."
Justin E.H. Smith: "One should of course take seriously serious efforts to improve society. But when these efforts fail, in whole or in part, it is only humor that offers redemption. So far, human expectations have always been strained, and have always come, give or take a bit, to nothing. In this respect reality itself has the form of a joke, and humor the force of truth."

When will our Cartoonists Evolve?
The Times of India reported on August 6 2009:
"Arrested Pakistani gunman Ajmal Amir Kasab asked his lawyer if anyone would tie him a rakhi on Wednesday — the day of Raksha Bandhan. To which, Abbas Kazmi, his lawyer, said, ''If some one treats you like a brother, she will surely come and tie a rakhi.''..."
Raj Thackeray, a cartoonist and a politician, thought of a cartoon based on this.
"Bhratmata (mother India) approaches Kasab with a rakhee in her hand and, instead of tying it on his wrist, strangulates him with it."
I was saddened by this.
More so because I had guessed what Mr. Thackeray would say before he said it. (Only my son is a witness to that.)
When will our cartoons and cartoonists evolve?
Reviewing comics artist David B's masterpiece 'Epileptic', RICK MOODY says:
"...Less well observed is the relationship between literature and comics. While there are worthy precursors, to be sure, the ascent of comics into the realm of the literary began in earnest in 1986 with the publication of Art Spiegelman's ''Maus.'' And with Chris Ware's ''Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid on Earth'' (2000), comics and comic artists became unavoidable in literary circles...
...In short, ''Epileptic'' constitutes something new: a graphic intellectual history. A design-oriented history of ideas. There are entire dreams illustrated here in a disturbing and rococo illustrative style, with interpretations included, as if David B. were channeling Jung's ''Memories, Dreams, Reflections'' or Freud's writings on the oneiric...
...But just as the graphic novel has borrowed from the acute observational skills of the great literary writers of the past, so ''Epileptic'' borrows from the great cultural and intellectual archeologies of French nonfiction of the last 100 years, while remaining both accessible and moving..."
(NYT, January 23, 2005)
"Yes, he's my son...He's just not feeling well."

Open Studios - Weekend Arts Event
A lot of artist communities have whole weekends where they publish a map and people can go to artists' spaces and see their work. It can be quite a big event. It seems like we have a large artistic community that may (or may not :)) be interested in doing something like this. It would be an event that would draw outsiders (which I know is always controversial) but could help present Brisbane as an artistic community to the wider world. You could also have the Lions do bbq, and have entertainment in the park, etc. It could be a pretty cool thing and goes along with enhancing our image as a arts-positive town.

Wonderful idea... And seems like something that could be sustained year to year. A wonderful way to support our local artists. If we can position a car show as a community event -- which is quite a cool idea, and has been well-received, it seems!-- it seems that an open studios concept , or open air art exhibit -- is accomplishing a good thing from a different perspective. Events that allow the community to gather but also build Brisbane's presence on the upper peninsula as the interesting and unique spot that it is. -- yes to that!
res commented
Years ago there was an Art Street Fair in Brisbane. Visitacion Avenue was closed off and artists, local and visitors showed and sold their beautiful creations. The street was packed most of the day and there was also food vendors..Great idea to have a "Brisbane Day of Artists."

INESAP Coordinating Committee:
Prof. Dr. Anatoli Diakov (Russia)
Morten Bremer Maerli (Norway)
Prof. Dr. Kathryn Nixdorff (Germany)
Prof. Dr. Fernando de Souza Barros (Brazil)
Dr. George Lewis (USA)
Dr. Zia Mian (Pakistan)
Prof. Dr. Dingli Shen (China)
The International Network of Engineers and Scientists Against Proliferation (INESAP) is a non-profit, nongovernmental network organization with participants from all over the world. It is part of the worldwide activities of the International Network of Engineers and Scientists for Global Responsibility (INES). The decision-making body of INESAP is the Coordinating Committee which has seven members from four continents.
The main objectives of INESAP are to promote nuclear disarmament; to strengthen existing arms control and nonproliferation regimes in the nuclear and the missile field; to develop and promote cooperative approaches to curbing the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery and controlling the transfer of related technology; as well as to support a transformation of the nuclear non-proliferation regime into a nuclear weapons free world regime.
Global proliferation developments
As in the year before, the activities of INESAP in 2002 again took place in view of the dominating influence of US foreign and military policy. At the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Prepatory Meeting 2002, the US stated that they feel no longer obliged to pursue all of the 13 practical steps on which all members to the NPT agreed on at the Review Meeting in 2000, as political priorities had changed since George W. Bush became President. This was in line with the renewed military role for nuclear weapons stated in the Nuclear Posture Review, which was released in part in January with classified parts leaking to the press a few months later. In June, the US withdrawal from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty became effective, thus terminating restrictions on development, testing, and eventual deployment of many components and systems of the multi-layered Ballistic Missile Defense system envisioned by the US administration. US contempt of the multilateral treaty system was further shown in the countries refusal to agree to a Verification Protocol to the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention and to ratify the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. This attitude was confirmed by the US National Security Strategy released in September, where unilateral and preventive military operations were mentioned as a legitimate means to ensure national interests. Accordingly, the US stance against Iraq and its alleged arsenal of weapons of mass destruction became more aggressive in the course of the year, ultimately resulting in the Iraq war in spring 2003.
On an international scale, the crisis also deepened. In Northeast Asia, North Korea admitted to clandestine nuclear weapons activities and consequently withdrew from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty in early 2003. The regional missile proliferation risk continued to be high – both horizontally and vertically – in the light of US plans to deploy tactical missile defense systems in the area. In the midst of the military crisis between India and Pakistan, both countries continued to improve their nuclear arsenals, control and command systems, and nuclearcapable delivery systems. The Middle East remained a violent region, with Israel's nuclear weapons a looming danger for the region.
These developments once more confirmed the importance of the work by INESAP.
INESAP projects and activities in 2002
Moving Beyond Missile Defense
The project "Moving Beyond Missile Defense", which was started in cooperation with the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation (NAPF) in 2001, continued throughout 2002. The project was presented on many occassions and received wide attention, in particular when INESAP Briefing Paper #8, "Beyond Missile Defense," was published in April by Andrew Lichterman, Zia Mian, M.V. Ramana and Jürgen Scheffran. The Briefing Paper was re-printed in a slightly abridged version by the Global Resource Action Center for the Environment (GRACE) with a foreword by UN Undersecretary for Disarmament Affairs, Jayantha Dhanapala.
In the second half of the year, another project conference was prepared, which was held in Berlin in January 2003.
For the "Moving Beyond Missile Defense" project, a homepage is maintained at http://www.mbmd.org in cooperation with the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation.
Space Weapons Ban
The INESAP working group "Space Weapons Ban" was founded at the Moving Beyond Missile Defense project conference in Shanghai/China in December 2001 and was very active in 2002. The working group met twice:
In June 2002, the workshop "Space Weapons Ban – How Can It Be Achieved?" brought together initiators of several space weapons ban proposals, scientists, diplomats, and scholars to discuss the pros and cons of the various treaty drafts. The workshop is documented in INESAP Information Bulletin #20 (August 2002).
In August 2002, a dozen experts met to discuss specific treaty-related questions that concern legal, security, and technical issues; verification; dual-use; and confidence-building. Some issues were chosen for further elaboration by smaller groups.
Details on both workshops can be found at http://www.mbmd.org/Activities/sg_swb.htm.
NPT Meeting 2002
As in previous years, INESAP contributed to the NGO activities at the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Prepatory Committee Meeting (NPT PrepCom) which was held in New York in April 2002. As a major event, INESAP co-convened a full day of workshops under the title "The Shape of Things to Come. The Nuclear Posture Review, Missile Defense, and the Danger of a New Arms Race" with speakers from nine countries.
INESAP also played a prominent role in preparing the NGO statements read to the PrepCom delegates at a morning session. The INESAP Coordinator delivered a statement on "Nuclear Arsenals, Missiles, Missile Defense, and Space Weaponization" http://www.reachingcriticalwill.org/legal/npt/NGOpres02/6.pdf. In total, five of the 14 NGO statements were read by INESAP participants.
Abolition 2000 – International and German section
As a founding member of Abolition 2000, A Global Network To Eliminate Nuclear Weapons (http://www.abolition2000.org), INESAP continued to be active in the network. Several of the Abolition 2000 working groups are convened by active INESAP members, others are members of the Abolition 2000 Coordinating Commitee and Global Council. In addition to the contributions to the NPT Prepcom meeting mentioned above, INESAP played also a crucial role in the the German Abolition 2000 section "Trägerkreis Atomwaffen abschaffen – bei uns anfangen!" and in preparing its annual conference, which was held in Erfurt in June 2002.
German initiative "Raketen abrüsten statt abwehren"
The German campaign "Raketen abrüsten statt abwehren" (Missile disarmament instead of missile defense) was continued throughout 2002. An appeal to the German parliament calls to refuse participation in any missile defense development and instead demands political initiatives for the abolition of nuclear arms and ballistic missiles. The appeal has received wide support from peace and other non-governmental organizations.
Funded by the German Berghof Stiftung für Konfliktforschung, INESAP in cooperation with the German Trägerkreis worked on drafting and designing an exhibition for the campaign. The exhibition was completed in spring 2003. As a preliminary tool for public education, a large poster on this issue in German language was printed and distributed in 2002.
Model Nuclear Weapons Convention
INESAP joined in the planning of a speaking tour on the model Nuclear Weapons Convention, with visits to several European cities in November 2002.
INESAP Information Bulletin
In 2002, INESAP published two issues of the INESAP Information Bulletin:
#19, "The Axe of Evil Against Arms Control", in March 2002,
#20, "Space Without Weapons", in August 2002.
1,100 copies of each issue were printed, with approximately 500 being mailed to subscribers. The other copies were distributed to diplomats, policy makers, media people, as well as NGO and academia representatives on many occassions.
INESAP homepage
The INESAP homepage is located at http://www.inesap.org and gives access to INESAP publications and information. In late 2002, a web access statistics program was installed which showed unexpectedly high usage of the INESAP webpage. Within four days, 377 visits were registered, most to access online versions of articles that were published in the INESAP Information Bulletin. More details will be given in the annual report for the year 2003.
INESAP continued to co-sponsor the Middle Powers Initiative and was represented by Fernando de Souza Barros from Brazil, who served as a member of the MPI International Steering Committee. http://www.middlepowers.org/mpi/index.shtml
INESAP expertise was demanded on many occassions. The INESAP Coordinator was invited to speak at many conferences and meetings abroad, e.g. by the European Network for Peace and Human Rights (Brussels/Belgium, January 2002), WILPF (Women's Day conference at UN in Geneva/Switzerland, March 2002), the annual conference of the Global Network Against Weapons and Nuclear Power in Space (Berkeley/USA, May 2002), the Transnational Institute (ASEM4People conference in Copenhagen/Denmark, September 2002); the Norwegian Peace Council, Swedish IPPNW, Gothenburg University (several events in Scandinavia in October 2002). Many invitations were also received from German organizations, and a number of radio and newspaper interviews were given.
Organizational matters in 2002
INESAP Coordinator
The Coordinator manages most INESAP activities. The INESAP office is located in Darmstadt and hosted by the Interdisciplinary Research Group in Science, Technology and Security (IANUS) at Darmstadt University of Technology (Germany) http://www.ianus.tu-darmstadt.de.

Funding and support
INESAP funding in 2002 came from the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation and from IANUS. The German Berghof Stiftung für Konfliktforschung granted funds to develop, design, and print the German exhibition"Raketen abrüsten statt abwehren" which was completed in spring 2003. Funding for the workshop "Space Weapons Ban – How Can It Be Achieved?" was contributed by the Program in Arms Control, Disarmament, and International Security (ACDIS) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Critic Reviews for Barry McKenzie Holds His Own
All Critics (2) | Fresh (1) | Rotten (1)
Most of the jokes are either bad or filthy. Sometimes they are both at the same time, and in such an outrageous way that the experience becomes therapeutic.
This is a comedy that employs the crudest of humour. It is a racist, sexist, homophobic, and anti-Catholic travesty that just does not sit well in these politically correct times, and nor should it.

Barry Divola goes on the hunt for the perfect brew in the Big Apple.
New York has everything - apart from a good cup of coffee. Or so the prevailing wisdom goes.
I was astounded to read in a recent Sydney newspaper travel supplement (not this one, of course) that those seeking drinkable caffeine in the Big Apple should simply throw up their hands in despair, then surrender and go and join the long queue in Starbucks.
Of course, in New York the nearest Starbucks is usually a 30-second walk from wherever you happen to be standing. But convenience be damned - things are not as hard as they seem and one can easily avoid mass-market. As a caffeine fiend who visits the city every year, I bring good tidings to Australians who are planning to take in Manhattan and its surrounding boroughs. Things have changed.
Since about 2000 there's been a slow but sure shift in the locals' attitudes to the quality (coffee is not flavoured milk), the wait (good things take time) and the size (you don't need a milkshake container of the stuff).
There is good coffee to be found in New York. You just have to know where to look, usually downtown or just across the Brooklyn Bridge. Allow me to point you in the right direction.
61 Hester Street, Lower East Side (Manhattan)
A couple of years ago this cafe had an Australian barista and, even though he's now moved on, his influence remains. Sandwiched between the garment district along Orchard Street and the Jewish pickle shops on Essex Street, Brown makes the closest thing in New York to a Sydney flat white. "Too many places in the city make the mistake of making the coffee so hot that you can't even taste it," manager Katherine Krause says. "In here it's more of a European coffee culture, where it's a ritual and takes a little more time."
Gorilla Coffee
97 Fifth Avenue, Park Slope (Brooklyn)
They say it's called Gorilla because the coffee is so strong and packs a punch. This joint regularly comes near the top end of "best coffee in the city" polls, and for good reason. They make a point of stressing their fair trade practices too, benefiting low-income farmers who grow the beans, a fact that goes down well with the hip families who populate the area.
318 11th Street, Park Slope (Brooklyn)
Hear the one about the Irishman who came to New York and didn't open a pub? It's not the start of a joke but the story of Martin O'Connell, the Regular guy who treats his espresso machine like an Aston Martin and his baristas like army recruits. "A lot of people in New York want that experience of big sofas and a huge chai latte so they can sit there for hours with free wi-fi and their laptop," O'Connell says. "That's not what my place is about." It certainly isn't. The tiny dark wood storefront and marble-topped bar with silver sugar bowls and milk decanters make Regular like a little piece of Paris in Brooklyn's Park Slope neighbourhood.
Ninth Street Espresso
700 East Ninth Street, East Village (Manhattan)
Back in 2000 this pioneering cafe was one of the first places to give a damn about making good espresso. The cups are big, the turnover is brisk and, if you can score a seat on one of the outside benches, you get a quality caffeine hit and a great view of one of the East Village's community gardens, deep in the heart of Alphabet City.
9 East 13th Street, East Village (Manhattan) and 141 Waverly Place, West Village (Manhattan)
Along with Ninth Street Espresso, these guys rode the first wave of "artisan coffee" places in New York. Apart from their full-bodied cups of joe, they're also well known for cupcakes made by comedian Amy Sedaris, star of cult TV show Strangers With Candy and author of I Like You: Hospitality Under The Influence.
Gimme! Coffee
495 Lorimer Street, Williamsburg (Brooklyn) and 228 Mott Street, Nolita (Manhattan)
Originating in Ithaca, in upstate New York, Gimme! landed in Brooklyn in 2003 and only opened up their Nolita (north of Little Italy) store earlier this year. They admit to being "OCD about coffee", from the roasting of the beans to the texture of the crema, and have already gained much respect from the city's coffee lovers.
Oslo Coffee Company
133b Roebling Street and 328 Bedford Avenue, Williamsburg (Brooklyn)
Local hipsters claim Oslo has the best beans in the 'burb and even debate which of their two Brooklyn outlets has the better baristas.
Astor Place, East Village (Manhattan) and Mudspot, 307 East 9th Street, East Village (Manhattan)
Seven years ago married couple Nina Berott and Greg Northrop had the bright idea of parking an orange truck bang in the middle of the East Village's bustling Astor Place to sell a good, cheap cup of coffee. The fact that there are two Starbucks a stone's throw away just makes the David and Goliath story that much sweeter. Four years ago they also set up a cafe, Mudspot, in nearby 9th Street.
Cafe Grumpy
193 Meserole Avenue, Greenpoint (Brooklyn) and 224 West 20th Street, Chelsea (Manhattan)
With exposed brick walls and tin ceilings, Grumpy has the look and feel of a cafe in Glebe or Newtown, transported across the Pacific to Brooklyn's Greenpoint. The lattes will remind you of home, too, and they have a big range of loose-leaf teas as well, in case you're one of those strange people who don't partake of the bean.
Think Coffee
248 Mercer Street, Greenwich Village (Manhattan)
A lot of the best coffee in the city comes from cafes only slightly larger than a closet. Think Coffee had to think bigger than that. It's near the New York University campus in the heart of Greenwich Village and caters to the throngs of students and freelancers who hang out with their laptops and books. And they offer a brew that's good enough to tempt them away from the nearby Starbucks.
Abraco Espresso
86 East 7th Street, East Village (Manhattan)
The beans come from North Carolina and the chief barista hails from San Francisco, but Abraco (it means "embrace" in Portuguese) has been having its minute in the New York sun since opening late last year to rave reviews.
