Hana-Ichimonme Spicy Champon Ramen = Champion Ramen

Eiji | Mar 16, 2006 07:26 PM

Tried Hanaichimonme for the 1st time on Monday. Went back today for the Spicy Champon. (Updates in my 2nd trip in parenthesis)

Sat down and asked what they recommend. They asked if I liked spicy, I said sure and they said to order the Spicy Champon.

Standard sized Ramen bowl however it was full of toppings. It was like the works with all these hidden treasures.

Stir Fried Vegetables (Cabbage, carrot, onion, and some crunchy black mushrooms found in hot and sour soup)

Sukiyaki style thin pork.

A myriad of seafood - Each bite I discovered something different. Kamaboko fish cake here, bay shrimp there, another bite I discover some Manila Clams and in another bite some squid. The Manila clams were a nice touch.

Then I tasted the broth. Amazing! It was tonkotsu broth, I was psyched. If I knew they made a tonkotsu (pork bone) soup base, I would have tried them much earlier. The broth is better than Daikokuya with more richness and flavor. Don't get me wrong, I love Daikokuya and their Kurobuta pork. I do feel if it wasn't for the pureed garlic jar there that I usually put in, the flavor is a little on the thin side.

I'm a big fan of tonkotsu ramen. I learned today that Hakata Ramen is the style name for tonkotsu. My experiences with tonkotsu ramen are at Daikokuya in Little Tokyo, Shinsengumi Hakata Ramen in Rosemead, and Ramen House Ryowa in Berkeley.

Since I ordered spicy it was very spicy with chili oil and kimchee spices. The noodle is thinner than I like but good. I'm not sure how their regular pork slices are in their Hakata Ramen and will likely not compare to Daikokuya and Santoka Ramen which few places can compete, however this seafood pork vegetable ramen with the tonkotsu soup was wonderful. (Got a side of their roast pork today, thicker slices and a little on the salty side. Daikokuya and Santoka are still at the top for their pork)

Large portions. It was so good I finished it all. No need to order anything else since you won't have any room for it in your stomach.

I'll definitely be back. I'm not sure if I'll order anything else other than the Champon there. What a great combination of seafood in a tonkotsu broth.

Please note my recommendation is for the Spicy Champon Ramen and Champon Ramen only. I can't vouch for the other ramen styles since I haven't tried them. (It's like going to Philippe's and ordering the beef and not ordering either the lamb or pork, you just have to know what to order.)

They make a good iced coffee and serve beer and sake.

Seattle Dim Sum for Large Groups

marlana_joy | Apr 8, 2008 09:44 AM

My fiance and I are hoping to have a dim sum brunch the morning after our wedding for family and any out-of-towners. We usually go to Jade Garden, but we need a place that we can have a large group, and I'm not sure Jade Garden has any private rooms. I know House of Hong does parties/private events, but I haven't ever had their dim sum. I'm guessing we would have 25-40 people, and we need it in Seattle, not on the East Side. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Reviews - What do our customers think?
Not Moser's Best  May 27, 2007
I have read several of Moser's books, and especially liked the Time Lottery series. I ordered The Invitation because of the good reviews and was very disappointed. Perhaps I have read too much Moser, because I am beginning to see the same basic template in all her work. Anyway, the characters in this book are very Disneyesque, and I could barely get through it. The plot was so predictable - so why bother. I own the next book in this series and just could not get into it. I gave both books away.
A terriffic book  Oct 11, 2005
This book really is a fun book to read. The use of scripture gives you something to really think about in your day. The charactures are so likeable that you want to continue after the book is done. So then you can read the other 2 books of the series! All of the books are really good. Everyone should read the mustard seed series and then wear your pin proudly.
Nothing is impossible  Jul 3, 2003
In reading "The Invitation" I was invited into a new style of Christian fiction. Much of what I've read previously has focused on pedestrian romances, historical drama and Christians who lead such perfect lives that they just seem "far too good to be true". Nancy Moser introduces five very ordinary characters, each with real fears, doubts and problems. In the very ordinariness of these people, Moser is able to show the impact of God in their lives and their growth as they come to know more about who God is and to walk out in their faith. Throughout the book I found that my own life and faith was challenged and that my understanding of God grew through witnessing the experiences of the five visitors to Haven. If you want a book that is only good for gathering dust please look again. If instead you want a powerfully dramatic book which offers the possibility of growth in your faith then this is one for you.
Might be better than "Left Behind" series!  Aug 31, 2001
Here's a "real page turner" that will have a hard time putting down as you read about the lives of five people who are invited to a Kansas town for a special meeting.

Very, very thought provoking. You like the follow-up books, too. #2 - The Quest; #3 - The Temptation.

More thought provoking than "Left Behind" series  Aug 29, 2001
You may "pull an all-nighter" when you start reading this book. The author held my interest, entertained me, and was thought provoking at the same time. A story of 5 different people who are invited to meet in a small Kansas town to explore their purpose in life.
Each of the 5 people has a distinct character. One of the 5 is a homeless person who ends up with a suprise background. This book is the first of a three book series with a forth book on the way.
Caution...this book may change the way you view your life and purpose as well as the life and purpose of others.

Michelle Duggar Should Stop Having Kids, Doctors Say

Michelle Duggar, star of the TLC reality show “19 Kids & Counting,” has been the subject of an unfortunate diagnosis: doctors say she should stop having kids, or risk the consequences.

To date, the Duggars have had numerous children and two miscarriages.

The first, Caleb, was Duggar’s second pregnancy, while the second miscarriage, the child yet unnamed, was reported recently. Some doctors say that Duggar’s age alone could be a reason she should reconsider having more children.

Dr. Jennifer Landa, the Chief Medical Officer of BodyLogicMD, revealed that the chances of miscarriage only increase with age.

“Risk of miscarriage is huge at her age. To put in perspective, risk of miscarriage generally is about one in seven,” Landa told Fox News. “At 20 years old the risk is one in 10, at 30 it is one in seven, at 40 years one in three and at 45… the rate of miscarriage is a whopping one out of two pregnancies.”

For the Duggar family, who has 19 children, this is bad news.

“I would advise her to consider stop having children… she has a duty to the children she already has,” said Landa.

Jim Bob Duggar and Michelle Duggar are fundamentalist Christians, so this could be a problem.

The couple does not believe in any forms of traditional contraception, and after experimenting with it, decided it wasn’t for them. Options are limited for the middle-aged married couple.

One physician spoke to The Christian Post about a potential way the Duggars could solve their big problem.

Jacqueline Ford is an Attending Physician at New York University, with years of obstetrical and gynecological experience, and she suggested one way the Duggars could avoid another potentially hazardous pregnancy.

“It’s called the rhythm method,” Ford told CP.

The couple would have abstain from unprotected intercourse until the infertile days in a woman’s menstrual cycle.

It’s “the only type of natural method (the Duggars) can use… assuming the woman has a normal menstrual cycle,” Ford told CP.

Ford was quick to point out that traditional contraceptives would always be more effective, however.

If the Duggars choose not to adopt the rhythm method, the consequences could be severe.

Genetic abnormalities, diabetes and hypertension are just some of the serious risks the fetus could be subjected to when the mother is pregnant 45.

The risks aren’t limited to the baby, though. The mother could also be in trouble.

“Just in terms of the functionality of the uterus, increased risk of post-partum hemorrhage” could result from another pregnancy for Michelle Duggar, Ford told CP.

That means the mother could lose a lot of blood. Worse, her vaginal canal could stay in its dilated shape for good.

It seems like Duggar should reassess her situation - 19 could be the end of the large Duggar family.

“It is time for her to hang up the baby booties,” Landa said.

Cathedrals to receive £20m for urgent repairs

A new £20m fund has been announced in the Chancellor's Budget today to help cathedrals foot the cost of urgent repairs.

Although cathedrals form a unique and treasured part of England's architectural heritage, they are burdened with huge running costs, including expensive conservation and repair, that cannot be met fully by entry fees and local supporter groups.

The new fund announced in the Budget will be used for repairs to both Church of England and Roman Catholic cathedrals.

Frank Field MP, Chair of the Cathedrals Fabric Commission for England, said the Chancellor had scored a "double first" with the fund.

"There will be widespread support for the Government making a direct contribution to the glories of English cathedrals, places which millions of us enjoy each year," he said.

"In addition I am very pleased in that the money is to be spent on Roman Catholic as well as Anglican cathedrals."

The Church of England's 42 cathedrals welcome around 11 million visitors through their doors each year, and contribute an estimated £350m to the economy. They are kept open to the public by a staff of 6,000 as well as over 15,000 volunteers.

However, the Church of England is expecting its cathedrals will run-up an £87m shortfall in funding for repairs in the next five years.

Sir Tony Baldry MP, Second Church Estates Commissioner said he was delighted by the announcement.

"Cathedrals are a vital part of our cities and are of inestimable worth to the country in terms of their cultural capital. The money this grant provides will go a long way to continue to preserve and protect these living monuments to our Christian heritage," he said.

One of the cathedrals that will be eligible to apply for a grant is York Minster. The Very Reverend Vivienne Faull, Dean of York and Chair of the Association of English Cathedrals, said the fresh injection of funds was "about much more than just beautiful buildings".

"Whether great or small cathedrals are part of the lifeblood of their cities. From back-to-work schemes at Manchester, to concerts at Liverpool, to apprentices and training opportunities at Canterbury and York, they are highly important sources of on-going regeneration," she said.

"They also bring in millions of visitors and millions of pounds a year, right across England. They are a source of community spirit and local pride. They are part of the identity of England."

Janet Gough, Director of Cathedral and Church Buildings for the Church of England noted that many cathedrals would appreciate the cash boost as they prepare special events to commemorate the centenary of the outbreak of World War One.

"The Church of England's has 12,500 listed cathedrals and church buildings which comprise unparalleled glories and a history of architecture," she said.

"They tell stories of kings, battles and wars, of brave men and women and of everyday life. One hundred years on from the beginnings of World War One, giving cathedrals the means to repair their buildings and provide the best possible setting for national and local acts of remembrance is particularly poignant.

"We are delighted that this announcement now makes it possible for every cathedral to apply to receive support for repairs to their buildings, which will help enable their continued worship and local ministry."

Update: Harris County commissioners tabled action on the burn ban Tuesday, meaning it will remain in place for at least two more weeks, according to the Chronicle's Mike Morris.

Harris County Commissioners Court Tuesday may end the county's longest continuous burn ban in years.

The prohibition has covered the unincorporated areas of the county since April 19 and has been renewed twice.

Harris County Fire Marshal Mike Montgomery said the onset of winter weather patterns have made it possible to lift the ban.

"We've seen a decrease in the number and severity of outdoor fires. In the last five or six weeks rainfall patterns have changed," Montgomery said. "The amount of moisture that's in the air has increased, and that's the real key. We still have a lot of dead vegetation from the continuing drought, but any outdoor fires that occur now are more likely to be smaller and easier to contain."

If the ban is lifted, commissioners still would need to decide individually if smoking, grilling and outdoor burning again will be allowed in parks in their precincts, Montgomery said.

"If the conditions have turned in his expert opinion, then I'm going to rely on his opinion," Commissioner Jack Morman said of Montgomery. "The weather is such that the danger's not there anymore, thankfully. I know, certainly, we're having a historically dry year, but conditions are improving."

Commissioner Steve Radack said he is concerned about lifting the ban. About 1,500 acres of 7,800-acre George Bush Park in Radack's precinct burned in a wildfire on Sept. 13.

"We've got a whole bunch of dry leaves falling everywhere, we've got plenty of dead trees," Radack said. "If you lift the burn ban, you're giving a green light to some people to start fires on their property that may not stay on their own property. I'm going to ask (Montgomery) about it."

Under the ban, residents who cleared brush, hosted campfires or smoked in county parks risked being charged with a misdemeanor and slapped with a fine of up to $500. Fire damages, intentional or otherwise, could bring further charges.

Smoking and grilling also have been outlawed in the city of Houston park system. A mayoral spokeswoman said that ban remains in place.

Montgomery said the drought index, a measure of moisture content in the soil, shows conditions are twice as dry as a normal November, "so we're not out of the woods yet." The county's burn ban, he added, was the longest continuous prohibition since he became fire marshal a decade ago.

"People still need to exercise caution, there's a lot of dry vegetation that's out there and all it takes is a small fire," he said. "We ask people to refrain from outdoor burning if alternatives exist, such as composting, mulching and chipping."

Halloween and the City

In Manhattan, instead of ringing doorbells, kids go into pizzerias, restaurants, delis and even gyms, to trick or treat. In many buildings across the city there is a list of apartments that hand out candy so kids will only ring the bells of those neighbors who are participating in the holiday - there is only one child who lives in our building and she's only nine months old. I'm glad not to buy any candy because if I did I'd spend a week stuffing myself with it!

We went out for dinner in the East Village tonight at Buenos Aires - a fantastic restaurant. We sat next to a lovely family - mom, dad and daughter. She was still wearing her costume...her sequined and polyester dress was worn over a pair of comfy sweatpants and her make-up was almost gone. She was five years old and D complimented her outfit. He told her the Empire State Building was orange tonight for Halloween. Her face lit up and her dad said that they'd go to the roof when they got home to see it. D explained that it changes color for the different holidays. She was really into it. Her face lit up! I asked "are you a mermaid?" - she said, "yes, I'm a mermaid and an owl and a zombie...all at the same time" So creative! She was the sweetest thing. Her mermaid tail was dragging behind her and her face was all white like a zombie and she showed me her headband with feathers all over it. As they were leaving she said that we didn't need to order dessert because it's Halloween. She offered me a KitKat and D got a fortune cookie - only in New York. I'm having my KitKat for breakfast!

These are all straight from the camera.

Happy Halloweena

I didn't even take this photo but I can't help but post it. My sister dresses her in these outfits make my heart melt. The other day she had tights on with butterflies and the day after that stripes and the day after that cupcakes. She finds the BEST things. This little girl wears dresses and tights every day. It's no surprise that she is a beautiful little lady bug for her first Halloween.

I'm wearing my wig out to dinner tonight and that's the extent of my costume. What are you dressing up as for Halloween?

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Every season is the best season in New York City. Spring is for tulips on Park Avenue and the promise of a beautiful summer. Summer means long lunches, weekends at street fairs and dinners on outdoor patios. Autumn in New York is full of possibilities. Leaves falling off the trees mean that winter will soon be upon us and the holidays are on their way. Thanksgiving dinner and dessert (the one time of year when I don't feel guilty about all that cheesecake and pecan pie...and chocolate, warm apple pie, pumpkin pie, Christmas cookies...), shopping, lighting Hannakuh candles, buying a Christmas tree on the corner of where you live, spending time with friends and family, hot cider at the holiday markets in Union Square and Columbus Circle, gingerbread lattes at Starbucks, 8 million additional tourists on your block alone, ice-skating at Wollman Rink and Rock Center, holiday window displays at Saks, Barney's and Bloomingdale's...the list is endless.

But, before we can get to all the holiday, winter wonderland goodness, New Yorkers have autumn to enjoy. Yesterday and today I went to one of my most favorite places in all the city - Central Park. I honestly do not think that I have ever seen Manhattan as beautiful as I've seen it this week. Everything around is glowing. In a few weeks there will be no leaves left and all this gold and ruby red will be gone. The trees will be bare and hopefully, if we're lucky, we'll get some snow and the time to enjoy it before it turns to brown mush. In the meantime, I'm drinking in the colors of fall, the fresh crisp air and the sounds of fallen leaves beneath my boots.

What's your favorite season?

A nice guy was selling those big bubble machines. No one but me paid any attention to him. It was school day. :)

Incidentally, I was pleasantly surprised to see three brides and three grooms at the park today...especially because it is a Thursday.

I haven't added a soundtrack in a while...what's up with that?

Another Person

All photographs are memento mori. To take a photograph is to participate in another person's mortality, vulnerability, mutability. Precisely by slicing out this moment and freezing it, all photographs testify to time's relentless melt.

Right now, your anticipation for The Expendables should have you purchasing mass quantities of fat stogies and punching random passersby in the face. This is the movie to end all action movies and Stallone is coming back to show us that 64 ain’t shit and that he can still beat an extraordinary amount of ass.

This first of five clips that will be released weekly via iTunes until the August 13th release shows off a bit more footage you’ve never seen before, but mostly consists of the above-the-line crew verbally blowing Stallone. Not that it’s a bad thing--the man is putting together what will quite possibly be the biggest action movie of all time, I just expected a little more movie and a little less, “This guy has a tough job.”

We do however get to see a final effects render of a dude getting blown in half whose upper torso takes a trip his legs don’t, courtesy of Dolph Lundgren. It’s pretty sick and if the rest of the movie shapes up like that then we’re going to be in for a gory treat this August.

Check out the clip in HD over at Apple or watch it embedded below, and look for fellow film journalist Harry Knowles of Ain’t It Cool whose glorious neck beard makes a show stopping appearance..

James Franco is everywhere once again. Earlier this summer he had a hit with the self-mocking comedy This Is The End. His adaptation of the Cormac McCarthy Child of God will soon hit the illustrious New York Film Festival. He’s mashed himself with Van Gogh to announce his own art-centric show called James Franco Presents, because obviously. But while we get whiplash from one Franco announcement after another, the gallingly multi-talented star has now begun production on Every Thing Will Be Fine.

Academy Award-winning German director Wim Wenders (Pina, Wings of Desire) will helm the film that THR reports Rachel McAdams has recently joined. Written by Bjørn Olaf Johannessen, Every Thing Will Be Fine stars Franco as Tomas, a man whose life is forever changed after he accidentally kills a child in a car accident. In an attempt to cope, he forges a bond with the child’s grieving mother and brother Christopher, and channels his guilt into his writing, which launches his career. As his fame grows, he begins to neglect his relationship with them. 10 years later, a grown Christopher reaches out once more, which causes Franco’s character to have a mental breakdown.

Charlotte Gainsbourg has signed on to play the aforementioned mother, while Robert Naylor of television’s Being Human will portray the surviving brother. For her part, McAdams will play Franco’s concerned girlfriend, who attempts to help him cope in the shadow of his guilt. Funny enough, fellow Canadian actress Sarah Polley was attached to play the part last July, but a deal never came together. Polley and McAdams notably both starred on the sensational theater troupe-centered dramedy series Slings and Arrows, though not at the same time. After McAdams’ ingénue character was written off the show, it began a tradition of bringing in a new young actress character each season. Polley played the role in season three.

This original drama will mark the first time McAdams and Franco share the screen, though both are also said to be attached to Mark Osborne’s animated interpretation of The Little Prince along with Jeff Bridges, Marion Cotillard, Benicio Del Toro, and Paul Giamatti. With Every Thing Will Be Fine having rolled into production in Montreal just last week, it’s anticipated the film won’t hit theaters until next year. In the meantime, you can soon look for McAdams in Richard Curtis’s time-travel romantic comedy About Time as well as Anton Corbijn’s translation of John le Carre’s thriller novel A Most Wanted Man. The former is opening in the U.S. on November 8th, while the latter follows on November 22nd. New York audiences will have a chance to check out About Time early, thanks to its coveted spot in the New York Film Festival. Check out its trailer below:

2012 IT Investments: Leading CIOs Share Their Plans

By Tony Kontzer  |  Posted 12-22-2011 Print Email
CIOs from Hyatt Hotels, health care staffing company Schumacher Group and engineering firm Psomas share their IT spending priorities. A common theme runs through all industry sectors: Each is focused on ensuring that its IT environment is agile enough to handle emerging IT delivery models.

Welcome to budget season, the annual end-of-year hand-wringing process during which CIOs determine where precious IT budget dollars will be spent in the year ahead. Amid all of the breathless predictions about where 2012's IT dollars will go--Cloud! Social! Mobile!--exactly how any one particular CIO will spend his or her organization's money depends largely upon the industry in which that business operates. (For more on IT budget trends, read our exclusive 2012 IT Investment Patterns Study.)

We've asked CIOs from three very different industries--engineering, health care and hospitality--to share with us their IT priorities for 2012. While each organization has very different needs, a common theme runs through all industry sectors: CIOs are focused on ensuring that their IT environments are agile enough to handle emerging IT delivery models.

Whether that means beefing up capabilities on the mobile front, jettisoning commodity IT assets in favor of the cloud, streamlining access to customer information or modernizing aging legacy applications, IT leaders are looking to propel their organizations into a new era--especially when a few bucks can be saved along the way to mitigate the costs of new technologies. "Many, or most, of the investments for 2012 are focused on either gaining agility or pushing innovation," says Phil Garland, U.S. CIO advisory services leader for consultancy PricewaterhouseCoopers. "Cost reduction is still big, but there's an even greater emphasis on the other two." (For more, here are Five Questions to Answer Before You Commit IT Budget Dollars.)

Few companies illustrate this give-and-take better than Psomas, a Los Angeles-based engineering firm that's seen its number of employees shrink to 500 from 1,000 over the past four years. Rather than shy away from making any significant IT investments, though, CIO Chris Pinckney is forging ahead, focused on establishing an IT environment that takes full advantage of mobile capabilities. In doing so, he hopes to put Psomas in position to pounce on opportunities when better economic times arrive.

Michael Cusack Centre

Funds Secured For Michael Cusack Centre

- 3 full-time positions will be supported by funding

Minister for Defence and Clare T.D. Mr. Tony Killeen has confirmed the allocation of over 170,000 euro for the operation of the Michael Cusack Centre in Carron, County Clare.

The funds totaling 57,099 euro per annum over the next three years are being provided under the Community Service Programme.

Minister Killeen said the funds will enable the centre to employ three people on a full time basis.

“The allocation of funding for the continued operation of this historically and culturally significant centre will be welcomed by members of the North Clare community, anyone with an interest in Irish culture and history, and Gaelic Games supporters throughout the world”, he added.

The Minister continued: “Dedicated to the founder of the GAA and located on the original homestead in Carron, the Michael Cusack Centre is fast becoming one of Ireland’s best known and most visited heritage centres.  The decision by Eamon O Cuív T.D., Minister for Social Protection to allocate funds to the centre highlights the Government’s recognition of this fact.”

Minister Killeen noted: “Despite its growing status as a must see tourist site the Michael Cusack Centre project remains very much part of the wider community. The Centre's facilities are open to outside groups for social functions, committee meetings, public lectures and special events. I have no doubt that the centre will continue to make a valuable contribution to the local community and economy in the months and years ahead.”

The Community Service Programme is designed to work in partnership with local service providers.  A key requirement is that each supported organisation develops non public forms of income by way of service fees, trading and/or fund raising.  The Programme is not designed to cover the full operating costs of supported organisations.

Beach holidays on the Costa del Sol

The Costa del Sol region of southern Spain has a long history as a provider of superb beach holidays with miles upon miles of fine golden sand that attracts millions of tourists every year.

With over 300 days of sunshine, wide sandy beaches and sheltered coves provide a place where sun worshippers can enjoy holidays close to the beach virtually all year round.

Just a few short steps from our Costa del Sol resorts you arrive at a pale sand beach where the deep blue Med reflects the bluest of skies and gleaming yachts and speedboats flit by, as well as the occasional cruise ship continuing on its sedate passage along the horizon.

To the east lies the resort town of Fuengirola – boasting more than 7km of award winning blue-flag beaches, Fuengirola is within easy reach, either on foot or by road from CLC Club La Costa World.

The beaches are very well kept and fully equipped with showers, toilets and loungers and parasols, in addition beachside chiringuitos offer food and drink with some of the freshest fish you will find anywhere and make for the perfect Fuengirola beach holiday.

In addition, during your beach holiday on the Costa del Sol you will find a wide range of water sports activities from paragliding and banana boats to jet ski’s and scuba diving that provide fun and games in the sun.

Heading west from our holiday accommodation on the Costa del Sol are stretches of sand and sheltered coves among some rugged coastline until you hit the outskirts of Marbella where the golden sand stretches out once again before your eyes.

Swanky beach resorts in Marbella are where the rich and famous love to hang out among the exotic beds and private alcoves and tee-pees that can be seen adorning the golden sands.

Specialist Costa del Sol beach clubs provide a luxurious and chilled out beach experience throughout the day away from the bustling crowds and usually include bars and restaurants. However as the sun goes down the music is turned up and the party lasts long into the balmy summer nights.

Puerto Banus has a very popular cosmopolitan beach and is definitely the place to be seen on your Costa del Sol beach holiday. With great views of the Mediterranean stretching all the way down to Gibraltar you might be lucky enough to find yourself rubbing shoulders with a celeb or two. A great range of bars and restaurants that cater for every budget are readily available when it is time for refreshments.

Fuengirola to Puerto Banus is as far as our beach guide goes but is by no means complete; Puerto Banus is less than half an hour away by car from our resort and leaves you enough time to get the most out of the golden sands of the beaches on the Costa del Sol.

The Sculpture Center raises awareness about Cleveland's public art.

"Terrorsaurus Suit" (headpiece), by Jon e.w.
  • "Terrorsaurus Suit" (headpiece), by Jon e.w.
Exhibits about public art generally fall into one of two categories, both of which alienate viewers unnecessarily. First, there are those shows that require you to decipher sketches and plans for works about to be built. Then there are those that seem to say that you can't call yourself a Clevelander (or a Chicagoan, or a New Yorker) without being an expert on the public art in your midst.

The Sculpture Center's first installment of its 2001 exhibition series avoids such miscalculations. This interactive educational exhibit, called Our Cultural Landscape: Conservation Consciousness, should be of interest both to those new to the city's public art and to those who consider such well-known downtown landmarks as the Free Stamp and the Abraham Lincoln sculpture old friends.

Public art has undergone a significant shift since the end of World War II. Scholar and author Sergiusz Michalski argues that, prior to 1945, public monuments were commonly erected to honor individuals or political concepts. The purpose of such works was to educate viewers about the words and deeds of great individuals. They also helped to legitimize the political beliefs of the artists and their patrons. Michalski and others make the point that, after 1945, artists in the United States and Europe have tended to view public art as a means to commemorate events or as a means for satirizing the notion of public art altogether. In other words, the cult of great individuals seems to have fallen by the wayside. Now, cultural forces, not individuals, seem to be of primary concern to public artists. Indeed, this is a shift that we can note in the context of this show. Look at the slides on display of the Lincoln statue, completed in 1932, and contrast them with photographs of pop artist Claes Oldenburg's satirical office stamp, defying traditional definitions of the political monument.

The show consists of booths and slides of Cleveland public art. Artifacts from the creation of some of the sculptures are included, too. The most notable of these is the death mask that was used by artist Max Kalish in the creation of the Lincoln statue. That sculpture depicts Lincoln delivering the Gettysburg Address, which, in turn, has been etched in full on the pedestal he stands on. As for the death mask, it's a rather grisly plaster cast of an all too clearly dead Lincoln. A copy of the original death mask, it was given to Kalish by the Smithsonian while the artist was working on his Cleveland commission. The sculptor's nephew, Don Kalish, a sculptor in his own right, has recounted in interviews how the elder Kalish spared no difficulty to get things right. For example, Max went to Gettysburg to interview the few remaining people who had witnessed the speech in 1863. He also examined every extant photo of Lincoln.

The results of Max Kalish's efforts are striking. Lincoln stands, his arms stretched to his sides, with one palm up. Despite the heroic stance, his deeply lined face and mournful expression demonstrate how the Civil War has taken a personal toll. Kalish in this way combines the hopefulness in the speech Lincoln is delivering ("the new birth of freedom" that the President referred to) with the acknowledgment of the carnage at the battle of Gettysburg. The sculpture is a balancing act between triumph and sorrow, just as the speech was.

The exhibit also includes Cleveland multimedia artist Jon e.w's interactive sculptural piece. The Cleveland Institute of Art graduate introduces us to the "Terrorsaurus." After putting on a reptile suit, gallery visitors can act out this creature's trek through foam replicas of the public sculptures featured elsewhere in the show. A distant cousin of archetypal creatures like Godzilla, he tramples on the sculptures and, according to the artist, symbolizes "the accumulation of all our apathy towards public art." This piece is an engaging artistic restatement of the exhibit's main educational theme: These sculptures are not necessarily permanent fixtures of our urban landscape. Without community involvement in their well-being and without the dedicated effort of professional conservators, they can deteriorate beyond repair.

The before-and-after slides flashed on a gallery wall speak well for the conservation efforts. The center's conservation program coordinator, Juilee Decker, says that, because there is no department of sculpture in the city of Cleveland, the only way to ensure the health of these works is to solicit contributions from private sources and, in general, to "try to get everyone involved." In practical terms, this means that, every year, a sculpture brigade washes and waxes all the works on the center's registry. In fact, much of the preservation work is a form of preventive medicine. For example, the yearly cleanings provide protection against pollution and the elements. Some sculptures need even more help, and professional conservators have been called in. In all cases, the restoration work seems to have been done with infinite respect for the artists' intentions.

Obviously, the public sculptures themselves can't show up for this exhibit, but the photographs and slides help us better understand the real thing. The show is the equivalent of intelligent liner notes to a record album or CD. These are no substitute for the music itself, but they can better prepare one to notice aspects that had previously gone unnoticed. The same goes for this exhibit. It sparks a new appreciation for our public art.

Cleveland Flea to Relocate. Two New Market Concepts Added to Repertory

Posted By on Fri, Jun 13, 2014 at 2:02 PM

This Saturday will be the last Cleveland Flea at Sterle’s for the foreseeable future, says founder Stephanie Sheldon.

“We are leaving Sterle’s so that we can put our heads together to come up with a better logistical solution for all of us,” Sheldon explains. “Our goal is always to provide the best experience possible for our vendors and shoppers.”

In a little over a year, the Flea has doubled in size, growing from 5,000 or 6,000 visitors per event to more than 10,000 shoppers at each of this year’s monthly flea markets. Sheldon points to the fact that the Sterle’s parking lot has only one entrance and exit for both shoppers and vendors. Also, vendors are being asked to shut down early so as to not interfere with Sterle’s Saturday night restaurant service.

“We’ve just outgrown the physical space — it’s a great problem to have,” says Sheldon. “The site can’t support the Flea in a way that works for both Sterle’s and us.”

The Flea will not end, says Sheldon, but its future location has not been determined yet. “We might roam around and support other parts of the neighborhood and city. Part of the reason we’re leaving Sterle’s is that they have announced other development projects there. One of the Flea’s goals is to spur development in the neighborhood, and we’ve already achieved that.”

Sheldon also is announcing the launch of two new markets, in addition to the Flea and the popular Sunday Market in Hingetown. The Night Market will be weekly pop-up style restaurant experience that will come to Tyler Village in August. The events will feature a rotating roster of culinary talent.

“We are working with local chefs and restaurants who might have a hard time coming out to our weekend events,” says Sheldon. “This event will feel very different from our other events. We always want to provide a totally different experience between all of our markets.”

In addition to the pop-up dining, the markets also might feature cooking demos, a spice market, and street food stalls.

But wait, there’s more, says Sheldon. Also launching in August will be Underbelly, a food-only event inspired by the ridiculously popular Smorgasburg flea in Brooklyn, New York. This weekly event likely will take place on Sundays at Sterle’s and feature 80- to 100-percent food vendors.

“We want to focus exclusively on the local artisan food community,” she says.

 Why I failed to burn my DVD? | CloneDVD Blog

Why I failed to burn my DVD?

The reasons may be below:

Cheap DVDs

Remember, DVDs are just a few cents worth of plastic, manufactured in massive quantities. Sometimes you end up with a bad disk or a bad batch. Try a new disk, or a whole new brand, and you may have more luck burning your DVDs.

Dirty DVD Drive

Dust or debris in your DVD burner can prevent it from burning DVDs correctly. Buy a lens cleaning disk and use it in your DVD burner drive. This can clean things up and give you a clean, successful burn.

DVD Burning Speed

It’s always tempting to burn DVDs at the highest speed possible. In theory, you’ll save time and can get more DVDs burned. In practice, though, higher speeds can result in unreliable burns.

Slow things down and set your DVDs to burn at 4x or even 2x. This may eliminate errors.

Overworked Computer

Sure, we all love to multi-task. Most of the time your computer can handle many tasks simultaneously, but DVD burning isn’t necessarily one of them.

When burning DVDs, step away from the computer and let it concentrate all of its energy on burning the disk. This can often prevent random errors during the burning process.

If it's Alpha cpu's, thats a whole different kettle of fish. Perhaps I
should have prefaced it with "With x86...". Running my molecular
dynamics benchmarks on our Alphas (Samsung 1100's) didn't show any
problems with the builtin interfaces, which I think were 3com, if I am
not mistaken.

I am talking "server" in terms of server grade motherboard types and not
their usage. Server grade motherboards typically have much higher
quality, higher performance, and higher cost components. They often have
built-in maintainence functionality like the BMC.

We have a whole bunch of consumer grade Dell dual cpu workstations that
have a variety of of 3com and Intel NIC's (eepro100 and e1000), plus
myrinet. We have given all the interfaces a serious beating with Amber
and NAMD, without a single NIC problem. Course, you mileage WILL vary.

Each usage has different characteristics, even within the same domains.
My experience is in molecular dynamics and network usage is often the
dominant factor in scaling and overall performance.

Market Insider: Will Key Data Support The Fed's View?

The challenge for markets Thursday will be whether weekly jobless claims and existing homes sales confirm the Fed's view that the economy and housing are getting better.

The Fed Wednesday, as expected, signaled it saw improvement in the economy and added, for the first time a comment on "increased activity" in housing and that businesses are cutting back on staff at a "slower pace." It noted that ongoing job losses and sluggish income growth are still a concern.

  • Fed Sees Economy Improving, Slows Buying of Mortgages

Economists expect jobless claims to come in at around the same level as last week, 550,000. They hope to see improvement in existing home sales to 5.35 million, when the data is released at 10 a.m.

Economists debate when the unemployment rate will peak in anytime form one to three quarters, but they have been hoping to see the number of weekly claims begin to trail off.

Stocks could take direction from that 8:30 a.m. claims number, after Wednesday's late day sell off. "You'll know before the open from the jobless claim. If they stay stubbornly above 550,00, then you've got a problem," said Art Cashin, director of floor operations at UBS.

The dollar is also a focal point, though there is little chance it will be mentioned publicly by leaders gathered at G-20 in Pittsburgh Thursday. A quick turn higher in the dollar, in fact, sapped the stock market's post-Fed rally and helped drive it to a lower close.

The Dow finished 81 points lower at 9748. After the Fed statement, it had reached 9917, its highest level since October, 2008. The S&P 500 was down 1 percent, or 10 points, at 1060, and the Nasdaq was off 0.7 percent at 2131. The market leaders were the defensive sectors of telecom and consumer staples. The biggest loser was energy, down 1.9 percent.

The dollar immediately slumped on the Fed release, then turned positive against the euro and a basket of currencies. "This risk rally is having trouble sustaining itself at new highs," said Brian Dolan of "We're kind of seeing the same thing with the dollar. The dollar just tried to sustain the highs at $1.4850 over the euro and it couldn't do that. These things are trading in lock step, so as the euro came off, the stock market followed suit."

The dollar finished at $1.4743 against the euro. The dollar has been hitting new lows as the stock market edges higher and commodities rise in a global "risk" trade. On Wednesday, oil was trading sharply lower after a surprising build in inventories was reported in the morning. Oil lost 3.9 percent to $68.97 per barrel, in its biggest daily decline since August 14.

Stock traders said they saw the stock market turn lower, not long after the Dow crossed the psychological level of 9900. "We've got to get over 10,000 (Dow), and we've got to close over 1070 to 1075 (S&P) for this thing to sustain itself," he said.

Dolan said the G-20 is unlikely to make note of the dollar, and the first official mention of the greenback might come when the G-7 finance ministers gather in October. "What's likely to come out of these guys is they are going to commit to maintain economic stimulus and accommodative monetary policies. They're not going to withdraw. They're not going to take the punch bowl away just yet," he said.

Treasuries turned higher after the Fed comment, in which it also said it extended its program to buy mortgage-backed securities until the end of March instead of ending in December. The Fed also intends to gradually reduce its purchases of a total $1.25 trillion in mortgage-backed securities. It said it would wind down its Treasury purchase program in October. The 10-year yield slipped to 3.420 percent, and the 2-year saw its yield slide to 0.968 percent.

Brian Edmonds, head of Treasury trading at Cantor Fitzgerald, said the Fed showed in its statement that it is preparing to step back from its "ultra-accommodative” stance. "I think the market was bracing for the worst," he said, adding there had been some concern the Fed would make some move toward tightening.

The Fed's 2:15 p.m. statement came not long after the auction of $40 billion in 5-year notes Wednesday. "Going into the 5-year (auction), the market traded very well. There were a lot of securities in dealers hands," said Edmonds. "I think you've got to take everything in perspective. We were just able to auction $40 billion in 5-year notes within 3 bps of the market. Our capital markets are still deep and well supplied."

"It wasn't the greatest auction you've ever seen but it shows you there is demand."

Heat wave blamed for 4 deaths in New York City

The heat wave that rolled through the Northeast last week killed at least four people in New York, the city's medical examiner reported Monday.
The victims were all in their 80s.
An 81-year-old Manhattan woman died Friday, while an 88-year-old man died Saturday on Staten Island and an 83-year-old woman died in the Bronx the same day, according to the medical examiner's office.
The fourth fatality, an 84-year-old Brooklyn man, died Sunday, the medical examiner's office said.
All died as a result of the high temperatures that roasted the Northeast last week, said Grace Brugess, a spokeswoman for the office. Temperatures peaked at 96 in New York on Friday and 93 on Saturday, with high humidity that drove the heat index up to or over the 100 mark.
Hot weather is particularly dangerous to children, the elderly and people with heart and lung conditions, as air quality plummets while ozone levels soar.
