There is always a lot of fuzz around men and their need to opt for enlargement options. Although, there are both medicinal and non-medicinal options to penis enlargement, firstly you would want to ascertain if it is actually required. There are a couple of reasons why you would want to go for it, however, ensure that one of the following reasons is present.
a) Naturally smaller size It is said that size is not the only thing required for satisfying sexual life. However, some men actually have quite small sizes that they are even embarrassed to talk about. A combination of enlargement supplements and some devices can help get significant results in such cases. Although, there is no standard definition for a small penis and large penis, you would have to judge it yourself or consult a doctor first.
b) Confidence Majority of men go for penis enlargement due to lack of self esteem, they cannot be blamed for it though. Even women have such a mind set to judge a man by size which leads to stress for a man and finally affects his ability to perform in bed. Herbal penis enlargement proves to be one of the best options in such cases with long term benefits in size and muscle mass.
Methods for Penis Enlargement
Once you are sure that only penis enlargement that help you perform better during the act, the task for finding the right option starts. There are different products available in the market that offer non-herbal and herbal penis enlargement ingredients. Plus, there are also some devices that can actually enhance length and girth.
a) Supplements/Pills If you go out looking for supplements, the names would be almost impossible to count. There are dozens of non-herbal penis enlargement supplements that claim to provide so called 'incredible results'. However, if you are looking for safer and long-term usage then opt for herbal options only. They are made from natural ingredients and ensure that there no known side effects whatsoever. Vimax pills in UK are one of the options from the herbal range.
b) Pumps Good blood flow is actually the key to your girth and length. Effective penis pumps have the ability to force blood into your shaft and maintain erection. This method is great for men looking for temporary options. You can start using pumps frequently and then reduce the usage gradually.
c) Extenders A penis extender is a mechanical device that has to be used for a certain amount of time. It can be used under clothing and safer than pumps for penis enlargement. In fact, many people why using vimax pills in UK, many people also use extenders for better results.
d) Exercises Working on strength and flexibility of penis through exercising is one of the most traditional ways to penis enlargement. In fact, it is one of the safest methods for the desired results without any side effects.
e) Surgery When everything else fails to provide the desired results, people choose to go under the knife.
Conclusion Why do you want to go for enlargement and what medium you think is the best, it totally a personal decision. Whether it's non-herbal or herbal penis enlargement, ensure that you go through the pros and cons of the options thoroughly before deciding on anything. There is nothing like the best or perfect procedure for enlargement, it simply depends on what your comfort levels are and what works for you best. A simple review of the products will not only save you from the discomfort but can also increase the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the procedure.

While director Joe Carnahan's 2011 film The Grey received some much-deserved praise from critics and a solid box office take, he's had a bit of trouble getting his follow-up feature off the ground. Carnahan was developing a remake of Death Wish at Paramount for the better part of a year, only to leave the project over a difference of opinion with the studio regarding the film's casting. Carnahan also flirted with possibly taking on a hard-boiled 1970s iteration of Daredevil at Fox, but the ticking clock due to the character rights proved to be an immovable stumbling block, and Marvel has now regained control of the superhero character.
However, Carnahan has now added a new project to his development slate, as he is currently in negotiations to write and direct an adaptation of the Chuck Hogan novel Devils in Exile for Universal called Sugar Bandits. Hit the jump for more.
Per Heat Vision, Carnahan is in talks to come aboard Sugar Bandits at Universal. Hogan—whose authorial credits also include The Town and The Strain, which he co-wrote with Guillermo del Toro—penned the screenplay for Sugar Bandits himself, based on his novel Devils in Exile. The story centers on an Iraq War veteran who teams up with a crew of fellow vets to rip off Boston-area drug dealers for profit. Their lives are soon put in jeopardy, and matters are further complicated when the protagonist becomes romantically involved with his employer's girlfriend.
This sounds like the kind of gritty, character-driven story that's right up Carnahan's alley, and I'm looking forward to seeing what his take on the material entails. The filmmaker also recently signed on to write and direct an adaptation of the graphic novel Undying Love for Warner Bros., but it's unknown which project will come first for the director. Either way, I hope Carnahan gets back in the director's chair soon.
Read the synopsis for Devils in Exile below:
When Neal Maven and a crew of fellow Iraq War veterans begin ripping off Boston-area drug dealers for profit, their lives are quickly put into jeopardy. As Maven's involvement deepens, two worrisome things happen: he begins to suspect that their leader has a sinister ulterior motive, and he lusts after the leader's girl—a tough former model with a drug problem. As the rip-off jobs get riskier, Maven and his crew are soon pursued by both a smart federal DEA agent and by a pair of psychopathic Jamaican hit men on a drug lords' payroll. When everything goes bad—and it goes very bad—Maven embarks on a one-man crusade to right the wrongs in which he unwittingly participated. Not everyone will survive his crusade, and Maven himself may not live to see the final outcome….
Vividly told and featuring a stunningly complex plot, Devils in Exile is Chuck Hogan's most satisfying and powerful thriller yet. [Amazon]

I saw "The Social Network" on DVD the other day. Excellent movie, well worth watching. No surprise that it got the Golden Globe and possibly will get the Academy Award too. I don't have much to say about the accuracy of the movie, except that even if everything was fiction, it is still an immensely watchable experience. Mark Zuckerberg's character came out well in the movie despite the positioning of the movie ("You don't get to 500 million friends without making a few enemies") and some of the reviews.
Some thoughts (remember, I am not a lawyer):
- The movie rushed past the intellectual property issues. Copying the features of a website (aka, a clone) is usually not a crime (aside from any patent issues). Copying the code is, which was not relevant in the case of Facebook. Verbal agreements are just as valid as written ones. But what was agreed to? And what trade secrets were violated?
- Jesse Eisenberg's portrayal of Zuckerberg was fine from an acting perspective, but his arrogant persona seems different from the happy-looking Zuckerberg. Every person has angry and unflattering episodes. I don't think you can extrapolate from that to their entire character. But once again, I felt that the movie ultimately (maybe despite itself) made Zuckerberg look good.
- The movie does well in showing Zuckerberg hostile to ads because he didn't know what Facebook was about yet. But it makes a mistake by assuming that he was slow on the monetization piece because he held out for greater wealth. Many hackers have a natural aversion to making "cheap" money and to putting ads on their site, especially when they don't have many users.
- The episode of Sean Parker using an example of a business owner who sold out early was instructive, but it could have gone the other way. There are stories of businesses who neglected to find buyers during their high times and went out of business during a decline. What do they say — "a bird in hand… "?
- Again not emphasized (one of the short misogynistic episodes in the movie), but Facebook's success had a significant basis in its birth at Harvard. Imagine a very similar web application originating at the Memphis College of Art or the Athens University of Economics and Business (with all due respect). Social class and connections are important.
Finally, many people will watch the movie and think of programming geniuses. That is a wrong take and the movie is clear that business decisions matter. A lot. Facebook was quick in expanding to other colleges. Moving to the Valley, getting the right people interested, and even pushing Eduardo aside were key decisions that propelled Facebook to the top.

Jonathan Knight is best known for singing in the boy band New Kids on the Block in the late '80s and early '90s.
Jonathan Rashleigh Knight was born in Worcester, Massachusetts, on November 29, 1968. Along with his brother Jordan, he achieved celebrity status in the late 1980s as part of the boy band New Kids on the Block. In 1994, when the group split up, Knight sought a low-profile life working in real estate. In 2008, he resurfaced in the spotlight when NKOTB reunited and in 2011 when he came out as gay to the public.
The Quiet Kid
Jonathan Rashleigh Knight was one of six children born to Allan Knight, a carpenter turned Episcopal priest, and Marlene Putnam, a social worker. (His parents, who were Canadian, split during Knight's childhood years.) Although a shy kid, Knight was a standout singer in his church choir.
New Kids on the Block
His introverted demeanor didn't deter Knight from joining the boy band New Kids on the Block in 1984 with his little brother Jordan. Neighborhood friend and band member Donnie Wahlberg recruited the siblings. The trio, along with Joey McIntyre and Danny Wood, completed NKOTB. Maurice Starr, the man behind the boy band New Edition, produced their sound.
NKOTB's 1986 debut album didn't set the charts ablaze, but the 1988 follow-up, Hangin' Tough, did, with hits like "You Got It (The Right Stuff)" and "I'll Be Loving You (Forever)." The boys' slick dance moves and good looks made them wildly popular, especially with teenage girls. They sold a whopping 80 million records.
Quitting the Band
In 1994, NKOTB called it a day, with Knight leading the charge. Panic attacks from performing and facing the constant barrage of fans made him want out. While other members went on to do solo albums, films or reality TV, Knight found fulfillment buying, selling and renovating properties as a real estate developer.
New Kids On The Block Reunion
In 2008, the band reunited, took to the stage and released a single "Summertime" and an album entitled The Block, which shot to the top of the Billboard charts. Since then, the group has continued to perform together and tour, including sold out "cruise" tours in 2010 and 2011. The NKOTB cruises have since become an annual event. The band released the album 10 in 2013.
Accidentally Outed
In 2011, NKOTB reunited and released new tunes. But Knight found himself in a media frenzy for other reasons when a previous love interest, singer Tiffany, accidentally revealed that he was gay on Bravo's Watch What Happens: Live television show. He confirmed the rumors, explaining that he never hid his sexuality or felt the need to discuss it publicly, either.
Recent News
The media buzz passed, but Knight made headlines again in April 2013—just days after the release of NKOTB's album, 10, on April 2, 2013—when he left the stage in the middle of the band's performance at New York City's iHeartRadio Theater. According to ABC News, prior to his abrupt exit, the singer "reportedly looked uncomfortable and was texting on his phone while the rest of the band danced." Knight returned to the stage after two songs, but left again after three more.
NKOTB, with Knight, went on to perform "We Own Tonight" on the Today show embarking on the 2013 Package Tour—also featuring Boyz II Men and 98 Degrees—to support their new album. A European tour followed in 2014 and their Main Event tour kicked off in 2015.
Personal Life
Since 2008 Knight has been in a relationship with fitness coach Harley Rodriguez. The two were contestants on CBS's 26th season of The Amazing Race, which aired in early 2015. The couple placed 9th overall.

British acting talent was celebrated last night at the Emmy Awards in Los Angeles, with two Brits bringing home gongs.
Dame Maggie Smith won best supporting actress for her role in ITV1's Downton Abbey, whilst Damien Lewis won for his role in Homeland.
Damien Lewis won the outstanding actor in a drama series for his role as US Solider Nicholas Brody. His award kicked off a golden night for the series, which beat Downton Abbey, Mad Men and others to win the best drama Emmy.
Lewis's co-star Claire Danes won the award for outstanding actress in a drama series for her portrayal of FBI agent Carrie Mathison, beating competition from Downton's Michelle Dockery.
Despite being nominated for a total of nine awards Dame Maggie Smith picked up Downton Abbey's only award of the evening.
Julianne Morre won outstanding lead actress for playing Sarah Palin in the TV movie Game Change. Accepting her award she said:
I feel so validated because Sarah Palin gave me a big thumbs down.
Armando Iannucci didn't pick up a gong for his sitcom Veep, which lost to US sitcom Modern Family, but leading lady Julia-Louis Dreyfus picked up the award for outstanding leading actress in a comedy series. Veep has been recommissioned for a second season.
Cat Keeley attended the glitzy ceremony with Irish funny man Patrick Kielty. She was nominated for an Emmy for outstanding reality show host, but was beaten by Dancing with the Stards host Tom Bergeron.
Ricky Gervais presented the award for Directing in a Variety special.

The Critical Early Childhood Years
"The first duty of an education is to stir up life, but leave it free to develop." -Maria Montessori
Early childhood is now more commonly recognized for the crucial time in a child's life. A time when basic attitudes are developed about learning, social matters and self. Each student acts much like a sponge, absorbing the influences of his/her environment. In order to be calm, happy and well-adjusted, students need to explore, discover, and touch. They need order in their universe and want to master the movements of their own bodies.
Learning in a Montessori Preschool and Primary Classroom
Because of the absorbent nature of this age group, the students do not need teacher based education in order to learn. Rather, they need to be able to move, touch, explore and learn from purposeful activity under trained teacher guidance and support. For students under six, amazing levels of learning are accomplished by being surrounded by a rich learning environment accompanied by aware educators who support and guide the development of a broad foundation of knowledge and learning. Students are given a safe, welcoming and nurturing learning environment that provides the necessary ingredients for them to thrive emotionally, socially and academically.
Child-Centered Education
The Montessori classroom allows students to learn from one another as well as from teachers. Students are given responsibility for caring for themselves and for one another and the environment. Respect, Peace Education, Values and Character are all emphasized so students learn to interact with kindness, empathy, grace and courtesy.
Students are given further ownership of their environment by putting their work away as they complete it, caring for the plants and animals within as well as outside of the classroom environment, and taking part in daily set-up and clean-up routines. Taking ownership of the class environment builds pride in and ownership of the school experience and learning itself.
Prepared Environment
The classrooms are carefully prepared by the teachers to stimulate each student's interest in all of the areas of his/her development. Environments are designed to facilitate and stimulate the students' exploration and learning. Everything within the classroom is prepared specially for the students, from child-sized furniture and cleaning tools, to scientifically developed educational apparatus. Students' movement and independent learning is accommodated and welcomed.
Our Preschool Montessori program is made up of children who are 2-3 years old. In the Montessori Primary classes children learn in the mixed age groups of three to six year old children. Their environments are divided into five main areas: Practical Life, Cultural (including science), Sensorial, Math and Language. The students move freely throughout the environment which is carefully prepared in order to attract the students and to maximize each individual student's abilities, developing the student's skills in all of the areas. Additional instruction complimenting the core curriculum, such as Peace Education, Language, Dance, Music, and Creative Arts, is regularly offered.

After a long league campaign, the Garrycastle Under-10 squad headed to Johnstown to play St. Brigids of Rosommon in the "C" final of the Clann na nGael / Tormeys Solicitors league on Thursday evening. On a lovely fine evening, with conditions perfect for playing football, we had a fabulous turnout of 31 players, divided into an under-9 team and an under-10 team.
The under-10 team started brightly, and traded points with St. Brigids over the course of a first-half played at breakneck speed. Jamie Carroll led the way, with no fewer than 6 points in the first half, ably supported by Thanh McCay, and Diarmaid Murtagh. The backline had to work extremely hard to limit the St. Brigids chances, but stepped up to the mark, and defended strongly. The second half began with Garrycastle attacking from multiple angles, and further scores by Diarmaid and Jamie brought the match level. The game was in the balance for the remainder of the half, and when Oisin Nugent scored from close range to put Garrycastle in front with a couple of minutes left, a win looked possible. However, it was not to be as St. Brigids rallied and closed out the scoring to take the win by 2 points.
Even though the result went against them, the Garrycastle squad can hold their heads high with this performance, From Conor McCarthy in goal all the way around the field, every player gave it their all.
The under-9 team also started well, and pushed hard to get some scores on the board. However, after scoring almost at will all the way throughout the league, their scoring touch deserted them on the night and they found scores very hard to come by. This match was nip-and-tuck all the way through, with absolutely nothing to separate the teams. A few injuries also took their toll, (the most serious being a finger injury sustained by Andrew Henson while blocking down a clearance, which necessitated a trip to A&E), and though the Garrycastle lads fought hard, the scores just would not come, and as the wide count mounted, St. Brigids took the win by a single point.
Again, all the players from Dean Grehan in goal all the way around the field can take great pride in their performance.
As per the rules of the competition, the Final score was the aggregate of the two matches, with Garrycastle losing out by 3 points on the night.
After the matches, the players were presented with their medals, and some much needed refreshments, by the Clann na nGael club.
And of course, we wish Andrew Henson a speedy recovery from his injury, and we're sure we'll see him playing again soon.
As this league comes to an end, we would like to thank Tormeys Solicitors and Clann na nGael for a hugely enjoyable and very well run tournament. While we were not successful on this occasion, we look forward eagerly to doing it all again next year!
Squad on the evening:
Under-10: Conor McCarthy, Jack Mulvihill, Oisin Nugent, Diarmaid Murtagh, Brian Mulvihill, Jamie Carroll, Cian McCormack, Thanh McCay, Killian Redmond, Matthew Conner, Kealan Ryan-McIntyre, Tom Daly, Mattie Wozniak, Sean Doyle.
Under-9: Anthony Mannion, Nathan McKeon, Andrew Henson, Jack Allen, Sean O'Donoghue, David Carter, James McHugh, Killian Keegan, Tom Sheehan, Aaron Keegan, Kyle Greene, Dean Grehan, Brandon Devaney, Rian Gaynor, Oisin Mulvihill, Niadh Shine, Cian Norris.

Another year has passed and the blog has been a desolate place since I last posted anything. If you tried coming here in the last year to find anything out, I apologize for the lack of activity. Facebook is the best way to keep up with us and our activities throughout the year. We have had highs and lows this year which are catalogued in our annual Christmas newsletter that you are free to download and peruse. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Category: Uncategorized
What's that? A post appears on the horizon…
I don't think the blog world has missed my infrequent posts on this website. Facebook saps any desire to write posts on this blog so I recommend anyone reading this that is not already a friend there, add me now to keep track of the Zeliff family exploits. Time as expected has continued to march on in our lives. Another year has ended and another is set to begin. If you desire to read a recap of the events that transpired in our lives over the last 12 months, I encourage you to download our annual Christmas letter linked below. Hope you and your family have a blessed Christmas and a happy new year.
Two months in and still no post
Ok I admit I have been slacking on the blog. With Twitter and Facebook being the dominant way I have been keeping in touch with people I just have been ignoring the blog. Let me see if I can cobble together a brief summary of what has transpired so far in 2013.
Jesse came home for a few days at the start of January. He is still at the LA Dream Center serving in the kitchen as an intern feeding over 300 people every meal. He applied for and received a full internship scholarship for the next year. He has started back at the Angelus Temple Bible Institute with a 3 year scholarship there also. He enjoys being in LA and keeps very busy working at the ministry there. We might see him sometime soon, but for now he is there and blessing others through his service.
Renee and I both celebrated birthdays this month. We didn't do much other than go out to eat. Our anniversary was another story. We took a flight to Portland, Oregon and were hosted by my brother Chris and his wife Paloma. We had not been to visit them since they moved from Texas to Oregon. We had a great time catching up and enjoyed their beautiful home. We went bowling thanks to a Groupon gift card from one of Renee's clients. Paloma schooled us in the first game and I hung on to win the second game. They took us to Stanford's for our anniversary dinner. One of the main destinations while in Portland was the great used bookstore, Powells. It was great to see so many Star Wars novels in one place. I brought home many hard to find novels that are waiting to be read.
Well, that's the latest from our neck of the woods. If you want more recent info and photos, send me a friend request on Facebook.
The end is coming, the end is coming…..
You read that title right, the end is coming. No, I am not referring to some Mayan prophecy hooey. The end of another year in the Zeliff household is coming. Jesse has lived for the last year at the Dream Center and still enjoys what he does there feeding the people that live and work there along with the homeless as part of their Adopt-A-Block program. As far as what has transpired since I last posted, we did go back to LA and take Jesse and his new roommate Justin to dinner on Veterans Day. We have plans to see them again to go see The Hobbit when it comes out.
On Sunday December 9th, I will be "The Great, Late Potentate" for our church's Christmas play. I have been rehearsing with the children for the past two months and hopefully won't flub my lines or hurt anyone's ears with my singing. We don't have any travel plans set for Christmas so we will most likely be spending it at home with just the two of us as we did with Thanksgiving. Jesse chose to stay in LA and all indications are that he will again for Christmas.
As thought's turn to family and friends, we hope this year finds you all well, loved and enjoying your holiday. We acknowledge the Author and Finisher of our faith for humbling Himself in the form of a servant and being found as a babe in a manger. May you know His love and care for you and our love and care for you as well this Christmas.
September Sierra Soujourn
We returned on Wednesday from a trip through the Sierra Nevada Mountains with our son Jesse, his roommate James and their friend Tim from our church. They are all interns at the LA Dream Center and wanted to enjoy some time off together before James returns to Texas at the end of the month. We picked them up on Friday and brought them home to do a little laundry before heading out on our trip.
Saturday morning, we picked up our rental van from Hertz for which we got an amazing deal. We left around 10 am and headed north on US 395. We stopped in Lone Pine at the Interagency Visitor Center and ate a few sandwiches. We stopped a few miles later at Mazanar National Historic Site. Manzanar was a Japanese internment camp where Japanese-Americans were forced to live after World War II began because of fear that they might sabotage their own country. It is a sad part of our history, but one that everyone should know about.
After leaving Manzanar, we traveled north to Big Pine and headed up into the White Mountains to see the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest. We stopped on the way up the mountain to see rain falling along the Eastern Sierras. At an elevation above 10,000 feet, the temps were quite cool when we arrived. We were able to see the newly reopened Schulman Grove Visitor Center. We left the visitor center and headed back down the mountains and north on 395 to Mammoth Lakes, CA where we had a condo reserved for two nights. Jesse and Renee cooked us dinner.
We enjoyed a great breakfast prepared by Renee and Jesse before heading to Devil's Postpile National Monument just a few miles away. It was great to see it again after last seeing it when I was only 12. Tim and James wanted to see Rainbow Falls, so I joined them for the 2.5 mile trek. It was a little warm hiking back through a deforested area recovering from the Rainbow Fire. We returned to the condo for lunch and the guys changed into their Steampunk attire for our trip to Bodie State Historic Park.
Bodie is a ghost town from the gold mining era of California history that is now a state park. It has been preserved in a state called "arrested decay." Which means, they don't allow it to fall down, but don't make improvements to it either. The guys enjoyed this place a lot as they posed around various antiquities and explored the abandoned town in their Steampunk garb. We managed to capture plenty of photos before they closed the park at 6pm. We stopped along 395 on the way back to the condo to take photos overlooking Mono Lake.
Monday morning, we cleared out of the condo and headed back north on 395, turning left crossing up and over the Tioga Pass into Yosemite National Park. We stopped at the Tuolumne Meadows Visitor Center before heading to Yosemite Valley for lunch. We ate sandwiches at the base of El Capitan with Bridalveil Falls across on the opposite side. We headed south and stopped to take photos of Half Dome and also of the whole Yosemite Valley before taking CA 41 south out of the park toward Fresno. We made our way through Fresno and stopped briefly in Clovis for gas and groceries. We arrived at the beautiful Victorian-style home in Squaw Valley a few miles from Kings Canyon National Park. It was a magnificent place to stay and quite a peaceful respite from our travels.
Tuseday we were off to see the Giant Sequoias of Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks. We stopped at General Grant Grove to see the General Grant Tree, the 3rd largest tree in the world. Tim remarked that the size of the trees was "stupid". We traversed the winding road over to see the General Sherman Tree, the largest tree in the world. Jesse decided he would wear a paper bag over his head for the remainder of our time at Sequoia National Park drawing plenty of strange looks from other visitors. We climbed the 350 steps to the top of Moro Rock before stopping at Giant Forest Visitor Center. We relaxed that evening in the hot tub at the rental house.
We traveled home on Wednesday and took the guys back to the Dream Center on Thursday afternoon. Jesse had a great time as did James and Tim. Renee was outnumbered by all the testosterone in the van, but coped with it well. It was a great trip and something we will all remember fondly.
Two months away and what to say?
I haven't posted to my blog since January when Jesse came home from LA to visit. Let's see….what has transpired in that time? Well, both Renee and I got another year older, so that's a plus I guess. Sure beats the alternative. We also celebrated 22 years of matrimony which is also a plus considering the alternative. Mom Zeliff came out for a visit as did my goddaughter Christina and her family. It was fun having her little guy Derek running around the house and playing with my old toys with him. Jesse requested that we retrieve him for the weekend and then return him to LA.
On my health, I had a resolution to my ongoing heart drama. The doctor detected a bigeminy(double heart beat) at my regular checkup. He referred me to a cardiologist for further tests and evaluation. These tests included an echocardiagram, 24 hour EKG monitor, bubble echocardiagram, and a treadmill stress test. After all of that, the cardiologist declared it benign and told me to come back in 6 months. So my heart is just a little off beat, but then again so am I.
Renee is still enjoying working from home in her business and in the nursery at church. I am enjoying teaching the adult discipleship class at church as well. Jesse is still at the LA Dream Center and enjoying the ministry he does there. Thank you to those that donated toward the $900 he needs for his internship. Every little bit helps him continue the great work he is doing. Additionally, he has enrolled in the 3 year program at Angelus Bible Institute and received a full sponsorship for his classes and books.
We hope each of you are well and that you are enjoying life. Feel free to drop us an e-mail or contact me via Twitter or Facebook.
Jesse visits from the LA Dream Center
And another year nears its end
We were grateful to have Jesse home from the Dream Center over the Thanksgiving weekend. He wasn't sure until a few days prior whether or not he would be coming home. We drove down Wednesday night to get him and stopped for some Panera on the way home. He brought all of his laundry with him and enjoyed sleeping in his own bed. Thanksgiving day we gathered around the table to enjoy the feast that Renee had prepared. I spent the day watching NFL and Jesse got reacquainted with his computer and online friends.
On Friday, the Christmas decorations were brought from the shed. Mom Zeliff arrived as we began setting up the tree. Jesse took care of the Nativity, placing it under the Christmas tree. He also raided the decorations, taking some back with him to LA along with several strings of lights. He and I were both up early on Saturday to begin our marathon day of Beta testing the online game Star Wars: The Old Republic. On Sunday, we took him back to the Dream Center so he could return to the work he is enjoying so very much.
He has said that he plans on staying in LA through January so we will most likely be spending our first Christmas at home without him. As is our tradition, I have typed up our year end newsletter. If you care to read it, you may download it here: http://zeliff.net/Christmas2011.pdf. We wish each of you a blessed Christmas season and happy new year.
Dream Center Month 1
We received another update from Jesse today on how things are going for him at the Dream Center. Here is his report:
Here at the Dream Center, everyday is a miracle. Whether it is feeding 100 people with one pan of food designed for 50 people, seeing a sprained ankle healed in a day, or merely being able to work another day for God.
I simply love being here. The people I've met have shown me things I had never noticed before. I am able to be an example of God and able to see examples of God in each and every day.
On Mondays, I go out and pick up food from a local grocery store chain Albertsons. Every Month, I pick up about 4,000 pounds of food products. I love waking up earlier and watching the sunrise as I load crates into a refrigerated truck.
Tuesdays are spent sleeping in and spending a little extra time with God and friends. Sometimes I go out and enjoy walking in LA. Other times, I just stay in my room and sleep, since sleep is sometimes a rare thing here.
Wednesdays through Fridays, I work in one of the most anointed places of the Dream Center, the kitchen. Often called the DC Dinner or Cafeteria, the kitchen is one of the most vital areas of the Dream Center. Whether it be men, women, or teens in the discipleship recovery program, or those that attend the free food chapel who do not have a means of providing for themselves: we serve them every day in the kitchen.
When I work in the kitchen, God always moves in wonderful ways. Most of the men that work there are in the recovery program and leave the kitchen with their entire lives changed.
Every Saturday I get to enjoy feeding the homeless and often oppressed in Skid Row and neighboring locations. We serve food to about 100-150 people each meal. That's 300-450 lives changed that day with the nourishment we provide and gladly give.
On Sundays, I am a helper in the 4-5 year old class in the Kid's Dream Zone at Angelus Temple. The kids affectionately call me the monster, as I provide a fun game for them inside the bounce house we have for them. I love being a positive influence in their lives and being blessed by their often smiling faces.
It is an honor that I get to see a glimpse of all that God is doing in the lives here at the Dream Center. God has certainly changed me as He has for so many that come to the Dream Center. I certainly pray that I may be of more use for all the miracles that are happening here to the glory of God.
With love and thankfulness,
Jesse Zeliff
Jesse plans to stay and work through the holidays as they are always some of the most needy times for families touched by the Dream Center. If you would like to support him in his ministry, he has put together a sponsorship letter explaining how you may contribute to the great work he is doing. We will continue to update you on his many exploits going forward and ask your prayers for him.
My morning 10 years ago
Unlike most the world, I wasn't impacted by the events of 9/11/2001 immediately upon hearing and seeing the events taking place in New York, Washington D.C. and Pennsylvania. A few days prior, I received a call from my mom that my father was in dire health after suffering a stroke. I withdrew from seminary in Kentucky and on the night of 9/10/2001, I loaded my family into the car and we headed for Florida not knowing when or if I would return to school. We drove through the night arriving around 4 am in Lakeland, FL.
We awoke a few hours later to see the horrible scenes of the Twin Towers unfolding on TV. My mind, however, was on racing to hospital to see my father. We arrived to find him completely paralyzed on the left side and unable to do much as he was left handed. His mind was sharp, but his body wasn't cooperating. I watched with him on the hospital TV as the towers fell and I had to explain to him it wasn't a movie. My brother was across the country unable to come because of flights everywhere being grounded. I spent the next couple days at the hospital helping dad to eat and trying to get him transferred to an agressive stroke rehabilitation facility. The doctor was concerned about blood on his brain and recommended surgery to relieve the pressure, but offered no hope the paralysis would end. Dad agreed and underwent surgery as we and our church family in Kentucky prayed. Miraculously, dad began moving his left arm in the recovery room and would walk out of the hospital on his own power a few days later.
That horrible day will always remind me of my father as my emotions were so wrapped up in caring for him at the hospital. I didn't feel the impact of the tragedy that befell our nation until months later when watching a TV special about what took place. Today, as I listen to names being read, I remember my father who left us on 9/17/2009 and the loss of so many that fateful day when horrible men with horrible thoughts took so many from their families. Time does heal wounds, but scars remind us of pain once incurred. Tears fill my eyes and the memory of that morning will always endure in my mind. Condolences to all who lost loved ones that day or in the military service as a result of their commitment to protect our land from men of evil intent.

SAN DIEGO – Steve Gerber and Don Rosa have been selected to receive the 2013 Bill Finger Award for Excellence in Comic Book Writing. The selection, made by a blue-ribbon committee chaired by writer-historian Mark Evanier, was unanimous.
The Bill Finger Award was instituted in 2005 at the instigation of comic book legend Jerry Robinson. Each year, the awards committee selects two recipients, one living and one deceased.
"The premise of this award is to recognize writers for a body of work that has not received its rightful reward and/or recognition," Evanier explains. "That was what Jerry Robinson intended as his way of remembering his friend, Bill Finger. Bill is still kind of the industry poster boy for writers not receiving proper reward or recognition." Evanier also notes the appropriateness of this year's selections: "Steve Gerber was one of the most influential writers of his day, and his work has stood the rest of time. Don Rosa is now retired from producing his acclaimed work with Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge. He also drew the comics, but we honor him for the excellence of his stories, which will forever be reprinted around the world. Also, we liked the idea of having an 'all-duck' Finger ceremony."
Steve Gerber got his start in fanzines, worked in advertising, and then found his way to comics in 1972 when he was hired by Roy Thomas for a staff job at Marvel. Gerber wasn't suited for staff work, but by the time Marvel realized that, they'd discovered the value of his quirky imagination as a writer. Before long, he was distinguishing himself with scripts for, among others, Daredevil, The Defenders, Sub-Mariner, and Man-Thing. It was in the Man-Thing feature that he developed his most popular, lasting character, Howard the Duck. Somewhat autobiographical and wildly popular when written by Gerber, Howard was a unique presence in the Marvel Universe that is fondly remembered by many fans of the era. They also hailed Omega the Unknown, which Gerber co-wrote and co-created with Mary Skrenes. He parted ways with Marvel over a contract dispute in 1978, though he would return later. Thereafter, he worked for DC and Eclipse and in TV animation, story-editing and writing shows including Thundarr the Barbarian, G.I. Joe, and The Transformers. Gerber died in 2008 from pulmonary fibrosis.
Don Rosa also got his start in fanzines, with "The Pertwillaby Papers," a comic strip for his college newspaper in Kentucky. An avid collector of comics, he chose for a time to write and draw as a hobby and to make his livelihood in his family's tile business. In 1986, though, he had the opportunity to write and draw stories of Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge, his favorite characters when in the hands of the legendary Carl Barks. His meticulous, carefully researched work caught on big, at first in America and then overseas, where he was hailed for expanding on the foundation laid by Barks. Particularly popular was a 12-part series he began in 1991, The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck, which filled in many details of the character's past. That series, along with Rosa's other tales, has been reprinted around the world as much as any comic book of the last quarter-century. Rosa has now retired from creating new stories, due to failing eyesight and disputes with his publisher over compensation.
The Bill Finger Award honors the memory of William Finger (1914-1974), who was the first and, some say, most important writer of Batman. Many have called him the "unsung hero" of the character and have hailed his work not only on that iconic figure but on dozens of others, primarily for DC Comics.
In addition to Evanier, the selection committee consists of Charles Kochman (executive editor at Harry N. Abrams, book publisher), comic book writer Kurt Busiek, artist/historian Jim Amash, and writer/editor Marv Wolfman.
The 2013 awards are being underwritten by DC Comics (the major sponsor), along with supporting sponsors Heritage Auctions and Maggie Thompson.
The Finger Award falls under the auspices of Comic-Con International: San Diego and is administered by Jackie Estrada. The awards will be presented during the Eisner Awards ceremony at this summer's Comic-Con on July 19.
Additional information on the Finger Award can be found on this page.
7 Responses to Gerber Gets the Finger!
Back in the late 1980's, as modems became a more common component on computers and direct Internet access cost 5 figures a year, computer hobbyists created systems called "BBS's", essentially message boards and file collections, where one could dial in with a terminal interface, and participate. Most of these had only one or two phone lines, so you had to keep trying to log in until a line was free. At one point, a piece of software called the "offline reader" was developed, so that you could go onto a BBS, download all the new messages, upload all your replies, and log off in a matter of a couple of minutes; this was especially useful in the days of slow modem speeds when all phone calls were charged by the minute.
The ability to go through large numbers of messages quickly and easily made possible the BBS networks, where BBS's could share message bases; soon, there were large discussion groups, called "conferences". One of the larger networks, RIME, supported a sort of email, where you could optionally direct messages to individuals instead of groups. And, as moderator of the RIME Comics Conference, I became acquainted with both Steve Gerber and Don Rosa (one of Steve's lesser known books was "BBS's For Dummies", unfortunately published just as cheap Internet access and faster modems started rendering BBS networks obsolete). This is how I started a friendly relationship with Steve; I didn't even have a clue as to who Don Rosa was, except as a knowledgeable and regular contributor to the discussions.
Aside from their writing contributions, they are/were both great people in general, and I am glad to see them both win.
These guys gave me lots of reading pleasure. I miss Steve, though I never knew him personally.
Steve's work altered my world. I wish I could have told him what he meant to me. So glad to hear of this award.
Great timing! Many of you know that Steve was a St. Louis MO native. In Steve's honor last month I donated my small collection of his comics to the Washington University in St. Louis Modern Graphic History Library (MGHL). The MGHL seeks to "preserve unique contributions to art and society by some of the most significant figures in graphic media, past and present."
In addition to 20 issues of Howard the Duck (#4-5 and #10-27), I also contributed a Crescent City Memories (Spider-Man Team-Up featuring Gambit and Howard the Duck, vol. 1, no. 5); and the first printing of The Savage Dragon/Destroyer Duck #1.
If any of you have materials you would like to add to their collection, please contact Skye Lacerte, the MGHL Curator, at [email protected] or by telephone at 314-935-7741. They would be thrilled to have items related to Steve's life and and body of work. Examples are sketches, drafts, correspondence, awards, certificates, event programs, background and biographical info, photographs, collaborative materials and other ephemera. Family, friends and fans are encouraged to donate anything that sheds light on Steve's contributions to the world of comics.
According to Skye, each contribution strenthens the research value of their collection of 20th and 21st c. comics, and are used by a variety of researchers, scholars and historians from around the world. After preservation and cataloging they may also be used in non-profit exhibitions both on and off campus. Contact Skye Lacerte with a description and/or listing of the materials.
Please consider donating your Gerber treasures to the Modern Graphic History Library at WU in St. Louis. Over the last five years I've been reading how much his work contributed to your lives. This is a great way to help preserve Steve's legacy!
It's wonderful that Mr. Gerber's memory is being kept alive through this award.
I can only assume that Steve was given the award because he did not receive his rightful reward, specifically his rightful monetary reward.
I would seriously question whether Steve's work hasn't received its rightful recognition artistically. I can't think of very many comic book characters that are so closely associated with their creators (among comic book fans) as Steve was with Howard. There are very few.
And I can't think of any character in any comic that literally only one person could properly write — and many have tried. Literally no one else can write Howard the Duck.
And I think this is widely acknowledged in the comics field. Anyone who tries to write Howard must stand in Steve's shadow. Every writer who has written Howard knows it and they have, to my knowledge, invariably been forced to comment on it.
In one letter column during his run on the book, Bill Mantlo was driven to exclaim "I am not Steve Gerber!" in answer to a letter from a Howard fan. I found Ty Templeton online in a posting from 2007 trying to defend his work on Howard from fan criticism that no one else can properly write the Duck. Consider that that was almost 30 years after Steve's original run on Howard ended!
I mean, I've never heard of a writer of Spider-man or the Fantastic Four having to fend of criticism that only Stan Lee can write those characters.
Steve even put a distinctive stamp on characters that he did not create. Steve is known to have had classic runs on Man-Thing and the Defenders, which Marvel has reprinted. They have reprinted his work on Howard, and excluded the Mantlo stories.
So again, I can only assume that this award is because Steve never received his rightful monetary reward for his distinctive work and wonderful contribution to comic books. And that is no doubt a great shame.
I don't believe that the award has anything to do with Steve's problems with financial rewards during his lifetime. Yes, he had some issues with some publishers, especially Marvel, but he continued writing and even went back to write Man-thing and Howard stories for Marvel (with different editorial teams in place).
As last year's previously unpublished Infernal Man-thing showed, Gerber wrote like no one else, and he always had a unique, personal touch to his stories. Reading it made me realize how much I missed reading his stories and made me realize why I still read the types of books I still read, like Hellboy – they have a distinct Gerber influence. I remember reading something that Steve wrote in an issue of Monsters Unleashed (I think), that he did not really like writing monster stories. And, I think, he never did write a monster story, at least in the traditional sense.
If you go back and read his Man-thing tales (the original run, especially), his focus was on the people in the story more often than on the creature. On Daredevil and other superhero stories, the stories were more about relationships than on the fights, and who but Gerber would have a villain argue that there is if you cannot take over the world without killing people, its not really worth it (as he did in his run on the Defenders)?
Writers like Steve, like Tony Isabella, like Len Wein, these were the writers of my golden age of comics – the writers whose stories I found I preferred even before I thought about who was writing them (kind of like those who read early Donald Duck and Scrooge comics could isolate the "Good Artist" before they knew his name was Carl Barks). Steve inspired many of his peers and many more of us who have yet to get anything published.
I agree that it is sad that he did not get the recognition while he was still with us. This puts him in the same category as Joey Ramone and Joe Strummer, whose induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame came just after they had died. Like them, Steve was a pioneer who worked in an established medium but did not see or did not accept the same limits many of his peers saw and accepted.
I appreciate Kathleen's suggestion about donating to libraries, and as I live nearby I hope to go to Wash U to check out what they have. I also recommend donating to Hero Initiative, as that organization was working with Steve towards the end to try to help with expenses.
I was privileged to know both of these guys…Don more than Steve, to be sure, but I met Steve, yakked with him, traded letters with him, and tried to be supportive. Don I loved ever since I saw THE PERTWILLABY PAPERS, the finest of all fan-strips…I knew him when! And I interviewed him for Comics Interview before he sold his first Duck strip! I'm glad he's still with us.

Sermon notes from 19 October 1997 on Luke 8:5-15
GEN 2:7 "then the LORD God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the man became a living being." (NRSV )
"then the Lord God fashioned the human, humus from the soil, and blew into his nostrils the breath of life, and the human being became a living creature." (R. Alter, Tr.)
Hebrew – 'adam' from the adamah – the human from the soil
The intimate relationship between the seed and the earth, it is this relationship which characterizes the different types of humans:
The seeds on the path are those who have heard; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved.
The seeds on the rock are those who, when they hear the word, receive it with joy. But these have no root; they believe only for a while and in a time of testing fall away.
As for the seed that fell among the thorns, these are the ones who hear; but as they go on their way, they are choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of life, and their fruit does not mature.
But as for the seeds in the good soil, these are the ones who, when they hear the word, hold it fast in an honest and good heart, and bear fruit with patient endurance.
The Divine Seeds have been sown in every person on earth. There is no human being created who does not have the Divine seed within them. Each is created in the image and likeness of God. Each has the potential of having the Divine Life bring forth fruit – bring forth more life in their own lives. Each person is a garden in which the life-giving power of God is planted.
What defines the types of people on earth is the relationship each of us has with the Word of God, whether
we attempt to keep the divine seed far from our hearts
or, we value the seed only in times of prosperity, ease and success
or, we want the divine seed to be just part of the mix of seeds in us, but really fear maybe we'll be missing out on something if we get rid of the weed seeds
or we allow the divine seed to take root in us.
For now we get (please excuse the pun) to the root of the matter. For Christ, the Son of God, the one who enlightens every human who comes into the world, taught us that there does exist in the world a seed, a life giving light, that is different from all other seeds and lights which humans experience. And that life and light is from God. It is divine, and it is to be valued above everything else on earth. The Lord God taught us to seek this divine seed out and never to be satisfied until we have it planted in our hearts, until our hearts become a well tended garden, in which we are the laboring gardeners tending to the plant which God is causing to grow in us.
Isaiah 55:10-11: "For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return there until they have watered the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and succeed in the thing for which I sent it.

Cook the Book: Very French Fries
As promised, here's the first recipe from Michel Richard's Happy in the Kitchen. This being National Hamburger Month, I couldn't resist adapting the recipe for french fries. Find it (and a bit of french fry trivia) after the jump.
Very French Fries
- 1 large (about 12 ounces) baking potato per person, peeled
- Peanut or canola oil, for deep-frying
- Fleur de sel
Fill a large bowl with ice water. Trim each potato into a 3- to 4-inch-long smooth-sided block, then cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch slices. Cut each slice lengthwise into 1/2-inch-wide strips. Trim the fries 3 to 4 inches long by 1/2 inch square.
As you work, drop the potatoes into the ice water. Leave the potatoes in the ice water for at least a few mintues to rinse off the starch; they can be refrigerated in the water for up to a day.
Place a handful of potatoes in the fryer basket and carefully lower into the oil; do not crowd the potatoes. If the oil bubles excessively, lift up the basket for a few seconds, then return the potatoes to the oil. Repeat if necessary; the bubbles should calm down. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked through but just lightly colored. Drain on paper towels; repeat with remaining potatoes. The potatoes can be fried a few hours ahead and kept at room temperature until the second frying.
For the second frying, reheat the oil if necessary to 325°F. Lower the fries into the oil a batch at a time as before, and fry 4 to 5 minutes or until crisp and evenly browned. Drain on paper towels, sprinkle with fleur de sel, serve hot.

Whether you're listening to your favorite album, rocking out at a live concert, or watching the evening news, your experience wouldn't be as enjoyable without excellent sound quality. One of the leaders behind this sound quality is Oxfordshire, UK-based Solid State Logic. Founded in 1969, the professional audio manufacturer develops analog and digital mixing and sound consoles for studio, live, and broadcast environments.
Some products are entirely analog designs, while others are mixed signal. Complex design sub-circuits, such as preamplifiers, consist of up to 100 discrete components that contribute to product differentiation.
Key Challenges
While many of Solid State Logic's products have fairly long shelf lives, the company's team of hardware engineers—who design hardware, write firmware, and design PCBs—are expected to support periodic product updates. "We need to keep our products relevant and competitive," said Glen Pratley, hardware design team leader. "We're constantly pushing ourselves to deliver new replacements or keep our existing products relevant by adding new features."
Typically, the company launches new products at trade shows, so they can't miss these market opportunities. Noted Charles Pickers, senior hardware engineer, "We can't afford the extra time of lots of board respins. And, it's important that our tools remain relevant and useful, since we can't afford to keep changing the tools."
With such aggressive timelines as well as an ever-present pressure to deliver the highest quality sound equipment, Solid State Logic needed to be able to accurately simulate and optimize its circuits well before committing them to manufacturing. The company has been a long-time user of legacy circuit simulation tools. They switched to Cadence's simulation tools because these tools offered advanced capabilities with scalability and a price point that represented excellent value for Solid State Logic's money.
The Solution
After evaluating the available options, Solid State Logic decided to migrate its schematic-to-simulation-to-board layout flow to one based on the Cadence® OrCAD product family with PSpice, which met all its requirements. The centerpiece of their flow is OrCAD PSpice Designer, which provides advanced circuit simulation and analysis for analog and mixed-signal circuits. The team uses OrCAD Capture CIS for schematic design and OrCAD Professional and Allegro PCB Designer for PCB layout design. The team also uses the SigXplorer module of Allegro Sigrity SI, which provides a topology exploration tool for signal and power integrity assessment.
"OrCAD PSpice Designer does everything that we need and it is scalable, providing everything from low-end seats for tasks like placement and viewing to higher level tools for the heavier lifting of circuit design," explained Pratley. "With PSpice technology, we can mitigate many design risks before committing to copper.
Initially, it was challenging for designers long accustomed to their legacy environment—and under the pressure of tight deadlines— to make a switch. But with strong support from Parallel Systems (the UK Cadence Channel Partner), the experienced engineering team ramped up quickly into their new environment. Today, all new designs from Solid State Logic—including the recently announced System T next-generation, large-scale broadcast console (Figure 1) —are built with a Cadence circuit simulation and PCB design flow.

The Results
With their Cadence PCB design flow, Solid State Logic can achieve first-time-right design accuracy, which helps the team meet their aggressive product delivery deadlines while giving them the ability to quickly release product upgrades. Previously manual tasks, such as managing ground planes, are easier to do with the automation available in Allegro PCB Designer. With OrCAD Capture CIS, the team is more closely aligned when it comes to managing their electrical components, which helps accelerate their design process and control their costs.
Since migrating to the Cadence flow, the design team has built up a large set of components and reference designs. From their catalog of work, they can cut and paste existing components into new designs, which speeds up the design process for new and upgraded products. There is also available a large body of PSpice models, so the team hasn't had to write any of its own simulation models. "With the majority of IC vendors providing PSpice simulation models, we've never had to create our own simulation models. This has helped improve our productivity, saving us weeks to several months since we don't have to create any complex simulation models ourselves." said Pratley.
Lessons Learned
Pratley and Pickers can share a few tips learned through their experiences. In OrCAD PSpice Designer, they've found the hierarchical simulation capability useful in modeling microphone preamplifer circuits, which can have up to 100 discrete components for a single channel. Using the capability, they can evaluate circuit characteristics, create a copy in another hierarchical block, do some modeling, compare this with the original, and then use the model as a benchmark.
Many of the company's products operate in extreme environments (for example, an outdoor concert on a hot, humid day). With a collection of benchmark simulations, the design team can easily evaluate the behavior of, say, an amplifier and make adjustments for a range of extreme temperatures.
Looking ahead, Solid State Logic plans to evaluate additional simulation and design capabilities to add to their flow. For example, the design team often uses FPGAs and plans to have a look at OrCAD FPGA System Planner for support in creating placement- aware initial pin assignments for an FPGA.
"We're very optimistic about our future and, with our scalable Cadence circuit simulation and design tool flow with OrCAD Capture CIS with PSpice and Allegro PCB Designer tools, we have an environment that will grow with us as our needs change," said Pratley.

Uprooting the Seeds of Anger
We all know anger from experience, but when we are asked to pause and consider, 'What is this anger?' it's not always so easy to see what it is. Yet when we approach our feelings of anger with awareness, with mindfulness, it becomes a productive part of our practice. We find, after all, that anger has something to teach us.

Getting in a car and driving through a chunk of American nothing has always had some huge appeal to me. I loved American road movies like 'Convoy', 'Easy Rider' and 'Vanishing point' – I especially loved the comedy ones like 'planes, trains and automobiles' and the 'Cannonball Run' – but maybe the biggest influence was Jack Kerouac's book – On the road. The book that made me hit the road in the first place.
So with a little bit of courage and a lot of naive romanticism I hit the road heading south from Vancouver to the American border. My route was simple – First drive through Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Utah to the gambling and entertainment paradise of Las Vegas, Nevada – Then return back through California to Oregon and Washington. I'd brought camping equipment, cowboy boots, and a tub of Kimchee given to me by a Korean friend. The only map I had was an A4 size one that came free with the Lonely Planet which didn't exactly provide the level of detail needed – In fact I spent quite a bit of time driving while trying to read the inside maps of that massive edition – though I never got lost once.
Anyway, driving through northern Washington past Seattle it wasn't long before the green northwest gave way to an endless landscape of dry grass and rocks. My first stop was the town of Yakima, home to much of Washington's wine trade and apparently the Palm springs of the state. Here I fill up on a massive, tasty pulled pork sandwich at the Lariat before heading on and climbing up onto the central plateau of the rocky mountain states. I made pretty good time, stopping in Dunkee – where a plump gas station attendant, wearing a t-shirt that says 'freedom Isn't free' fills my car while telling that his cousin speaks seven languages. I eat again outside Boise, Idaho. Filling up on a huge club sandwich.
Just before Utah 1372km in, as the sun is setting, I stop in 'the middle of nowhere' to get gas – the attractions here are two alpacas, and being the only fuel in miles. At this point I'm ready to sleep and decide to stop in the first town over the state line. The road around here is just one straight line to nothing. At one point my car begins to shudder and shake. What's going on? I realise I'm sitting at 185kmph – I haven't turned for 45 minutes. I slow down pretty quickly.
After 1559km and 16 hour driving, I stop at some town 160km from Salt Lake City. A couple of beers in the bar across the street – only 3.2% in Utah!!, and I retire to my motel – car parked outside the room, just like in the movies.
The next day I'm glad to have made a big push the day before. I only have a seven hour trip today, nothing! First I stop in at Salt Lake City, visiting the religious centre for the Church of Jesus Christ and the Latter Day Saints. Its a nice if pretty bland town, but definitely worth checking out if you happen to pass. The central cathedral is pretty impressive and the people are as nice as you'd ever meet.
I roll on, hammering down the road stopping at the eagles landing service area and Beaver, Utah – birthplace of Butch Cassidy no less, just after here I break the 2000km mark and I know I'm close. Listening to Right wing radio talk shows is great around here – they really love Obama these guys!!
Just before I cross the border into Nevada I drop through the Virgin river gorge. Dropping straight off the edge of mile high Utah is an experience I won't forget. Red sandstone walls on either side, foot heavy on the brakes as I'm going down so fast. The bottom is the desserts of Nevada. Its pretty flat from here on in.
As soon as you cross the border the casinos begin. Big grassed areas in the middle of arid desert – pretty surreal. Surreal too is at the moment I'm seeing Vegas in the distance on comes the Who's 'Who are you?' – CSI anybody??
I drive straight into my hotel, Circus Circus, and get ready to hit the strip. What a trip 2320km, two days, five states and a shitload of fast food…

With support from the Intermountain West Joint Venture we are developing a Long-billed Curlew habitat initiative designed to link existing science with on the ground grassland conservation. The Montana Bird Conservation Partnership is hosting a series of workshops to use existing decision support tools and expert knowledge to identify priority areas for conservation focus and to articulate specific management strategies within each focal area.
Management for Long-billed Curlews would target grazed, native vegetation for breeding sites and croplands of short to moderate height (<30 cm) grasslands for brood rearing and foraging. We will assess the effectiveness of conservation action through a coordinated monitoring program that will likely involve the participation of local volunteers. Ultimately, we anticipate that management and conservation of key landscapes for curlews will provide habitat for a wide spectrum of grassland birds.

Since young, my family loves going for good food to celebrate special occasions. And Ah Yat was one of our frequent dining places. This was where I developed my love for braised abalone, Peking duck and bird nest.
Peking Duck: The skin is crispy and just enough to taste the texture. The slices are tasty, proportionate to the thin slices of egg wrap. The hoisin sauce and scallions further amplify the flavour of the duck skin.
Shark's Fin Soup: Accompanied with bits of mushroom and fish maw, the soup has an interesting biting texture. The restaurant is generous with the shark's fin and you can literally taste the intricate texture of each shark's fin. I loved the slight tangy flavour that whets the appetite.
Braised Whole Abalone: The braised whole abalone is of the right firmness and not difficult to slice through. It carries such a smooth and springy texture that it I just want to keep chewing and not stop! Most importantly, the sauce brings out the freshness of the abalone. The dish definitely packs a wonderful balance of taste and texture.
Sliced Fresh Clams with Honey Peas in Sichuan Sauce: This dish totally caught me by surprise. The clam is refreshingly sweet and tender on its own. The Sichuan sauce ties the dish together with its slightly sweet and spicy taste. Blown away.
Soya Sauce Steamed Soon Hock: Soon Hock or Marbled Goby, is a much sought-after table fish and my favourite! In this dish, the fish is fried first before steamed in light soya sauce. Absolutely fresh, the fish gives you a tasty white flesh with a fine texture that melts in your mouth. The light soya sauce is perfectly salty to complement the fish. Last but not least, the coriander leaves gives you the extra fragrance.
Seared Scallop: The scallop is pan-seared to perfection. Slightly crispy on the outside but tender and chewy on the inside.
Yam dessert with Sago: Not your typical yam paste dessert, this has lower viscosity and more fluid. My brother and I are head over heels for the famous traditional Teo Chew dessert. So boy were we surprised with what this unique rendition could bring to our palettes. And the sago is just an added bonus!
With excellent service and located away from the hustle and bustle of the crowd, this restaurant would be a perfect place to treat your folks for a classical Chinese dinner.

The Liverpool first-team coach, Steve Clarke, says the club's "average start" to the season is partly due to the changes taking place within the squad. The side have 10 points from six matches after losing at Stoke and Tottenham.
At a similar stage last season their tally was six and discontent was growing against the manager, Roy Hodgson, whose reign lasted six months when he was sacked in January.
As part of the overhaul, financed by the owners, Fenway Sports Group, and undertaken by Kenny Dalglish on his return to take charge of the club, seven players were signed in the summer with numerous others heading in the opposite direction.
Most of those new arrivals have featured in most of the opening matches and while Liverpool have played well in patches they are still to consistently produce their top form.
"Without getting too carried away or too disappointed it's probably just an average start," said Clarke. "You're probably looking at about a seven out of 10. Some pleasing performances and some not so pleasing, but you'd expect that from a group of players where you've made so many changes and you're trying to bed a few things down."
One of the key factors in picking up three wins has been the form of the four-goal striker Luis Suárez, with seven of Liverpool's 10 points coming in matches when he has scored. The 24-year-old was voted fans' man of the match for the fifth time in eight games this season (he has played in both Carling Cup ties) after Saturday's win over Wolves.
But it is the Uruguay international's determination to do well – highlighted by his frustration when he was substituted 10 minutes from the end at the weekend – which has equally impressed.
"With any top player the mentality is always that bit stronger. That's what separates them," Clarke said. "There are a lot of good players at this level and the really, really top ones have got that mental edge that drives them on all the time and produces the kind of performances that we've had from Luis so far.
"He's very grounded. He comes back in on Monday morning and works as hard as ever in training, he upsets all the defenders, scores a couple of goals and that's what he's all about. He trains like he plays – absolutely, every day. He loves to be playing football and that's a great thing."
Suárez was replaced by the captain, Steven Gerrard, making his first Premier League appearance for six months after a groin operation. The return of the England midfielder, who added to his 15-minute Carling Cup appearance last Wednesday, is a boost to everyone at Anfield.
He is lacking in match sharpness and this weekend's Merseyside derby at Goodison Park may come just a little too early for him to make his first start of the season. However, that will not stop the Huyton-born 31-year-old pushing for a place in the lineup.
"Steven himself will dictate the pace of his comeback with how he progresses in training," added Clarke. "We're delighted with the stage he's at, we're delighted with everything he's done for us. We could maybe have got Steven on a little bit earlier [against Wolves] but it didn't work out that way. We've got a full week now and we can use him well in training."

Watermelon is the quintessential summer treat.
It happens to be one of my favorite things to eat. It just always tastes good.
My daughter was actually allergic to watermelon when she was young so I never kept it in the house. I am now making up for lost time and I am rarely without this versatile fruit.
A few fun facts :
Watermelon originated in South Africa and it grows wild there today. It is now commercially grown in 44 states in the U.S. with California, Florida, Georgia and Texas prodcung the most. Watermelon is 92% water and it contains lycopene and beta carotene. The rind is edible and is often used in Aian dishes. The largest watermelon ever grown weighed 262 pounds!
Wheteher you are enjoying a sliver of this bright red fruit at the beach or as the base of an iced drink - it is refreshing and thirst quenching.
Try the yellow variety for a change. Unless you enjoy the seeds, purchase seedless watermelon - you will spend more time enjoying the wonderful taste of this delicious fruit.
Watermelon Recipes
Watermelon, Strawberry and Mozzarella Salad ~
Cut a half of a large seedless watermelon into chunks. Gently toss this with
one cup of strawberries (cut in half), eight mozzarella balls (cubed with a melon baller),
and a 1/2 cup of blueberries. Lightly toss the fruit and cheese with vinaigrette dressing and serve immediately.
Perfect for July 4th!
Watermelon, Cucumber and Feta Salad ~
Combine one large seedless Watermelon (cut in cubes), three Persian cucumbers (seeded and cut in cubes), one cup crumbled feta cheese, 1/2 of red onion (thinly sliced) and 1/4 cup of mint leaves (thinly sliced).
Drizzle two tbsp fresh lime juice and two tbsp evoo and gently toss.
Watermelon Coooler ~
Place three cups cubed seedless watermelon, 10 ice cubes, 1/3 cup fresh lime juice, 1/4 cup sugar and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a blender. For an extra kick - add vodka.
Garnish with fresh mint and serve immediately.
Mix two cups finely chopped seeded watermelon, one cup crushed pineapple (drained well),
one cup sweet onion (minced), 1/4 cup orange juice, 1/4 teaspoon hot sauce (Tabasco or your favorite brand), four tbsp fresh cilantro (optional) - chill for several hours before serving.
This salsa is great on chicken and fish.

Sometimes you just know how it will look...
You see the "after"
even before you buy the "before" version.
Restoration Hardware is my holy grail of accent items.
Their catalog is full of exquisite architectural finds turned decor.
One of my favorites is the Acanthus lamp (below.)
This lamp is untouchable as I do not plan
on ever spending close to $500 on a single lamp.
you can imagine how thrilled I was when
I saw this lamp piece in a consign store for $15.
It was a similar Acanthus stylized piece.
I could just "see" my RH lamp materializing.
I was even more thrilled when my husband told me
he could turn it the acanthus part
upsidedown to match the one in the catalog.
Usually I love cremes and white,
but I knew I needed a darker color
to get the finished look I was after.
I used textured spray paint.
And I love the results....
My RH knock-off has a new home on my bookcase.
Exactly how I "saw" it from the beginning. :o)
