Providing a safety net for the vulnerable
Nairobi, 18 February 2013 – On a sunny Friday morning, St Theresa's Church Hall in Eastleigh, Nairobi, comes alive as people slowly trickle inside. A mixed crowd of men and women, each carrying a small bag, waited for the last meeting of the JRS initiative for urban refugees running small businesses in the Kenyan capital. The 45 beneficiaries of the JRS Nairobi Urban Project, received food and material assistance as a way of providing a safety net while they invested in their businesses (income-generating activities IGAs).
The four month initiative, which ended last month, was launched after a study conducted by the UN refugee agency (UNHCR) and the Danish Refugee Council in May 2012 revealed that refugee-run IGAs in Nairobi were not expanding. The survey found the income earned was only enough to meet the basic needs of refugees, and was not invested back into the businesses. It recommended refugees receive food and material support for four months, giving them space to invest their profits.
The programme also sought to stabilise household consumption and strengthen the capacity of community-based self-help groups to deliver social assistance. After convening the meeting, the JRS Nairobi Urban Project IGA Coordinator, Agnes Asiimwe, invited the group members to explain the impact the initiative made on their lives. After some prodding, one woman volunteer spoke.
"I've been able to grow my business; initially I only sold weaved baskets, but now I also sell vitenges [African print cloth]. The assistance that I received from JRS has really uplifted my life such that I have been able to move to a better house", the women said proudly, to a round of applause and smiles from those present.
Integration into the host community was another key component of the programme. As urban refugees live among Kenyans, in frequently very marginalised communities; the inclusion of five Kenyans in the group strengthened interdependence of national and refugee communities, helping avoid ideas that refugees are favoured over locals.
Testimonies. "I've been able to expand my food business in Kayole (Nairobi) after I retired from Telkom, Kenya. I'm now able to feed my family better", said Joseph, a Kenyan national. Participants like him are identified through six local Catholic parish church councils and are among the most vulnerable in the community.
"I'm very grateful for the assistance from JRS. My children are now able to get food and go to school. God will surely bless Kenyans for the assistance they have given refugees", said Mary* who sells deep fried cassava in two Nairobi neighbourhoods. With JRS assistance, her business has been able to expand to include basket weaving.
According to Mathias Mbisu, a JRS Social Worker based in Eastleigh, the distribution of food and non-food items has greatly assisted the beneficiaries of the safety net programme.
"They've been able to concentrate on their businesses and not worry about feeding their families", says Mathias.
As part of follow-up for the programme, JRS staff members visit the beneficiaries where they are residing to see how they are doing.
Achievements. At the start of the initiative all 45 participants had opened individual bank accounts to receive the social assistance and as a way to encourage them to save. An evaluation carried out after two months indicated that 50 percent of the beneficiaries had been able to save in banks. Others had been able to increase the business stocks, diversify into other more profitable ventures or move to better houses.
As part of the exit strategy, JRS will provide training on business skills for participants. Leaving the hall, there is no doubt the lifestyles of the participants have improved. But the food distribution that day was to be the last, and the challenge will be to ensure former beneficiaries remain autonomous and to extend this type of support to new arrivals.
"With the end of the programme, there is the possibility the beneficiaries not being able to maintain their lifestyle but since the assistance had a clearly defined time frame, continued monitoring will ensure refugees have sustainable livelihoods", said Ms Asiimwe.
*This name has been changed to protect the identity of the person involved
JRS has been assisting urban refugees in Nairobi since 1991, responding to the urgent, unmet needs of newly arrived asylum seekers and refugees in the most vulnerable circumstances. JRS prioritises single women with large families, household heads without support, unaccompanied minors, persons with special needs or disabilities, older refugees, the sick, and those living with HIV/AIDS. In 2011, the urban emergency programme provided a range of services to more than 2,600 refugees, including the provision of food and non-food items, medical and financial assistance, pastoral and psychosocial support, and support for income generating activities.

My mind is still a jumble of thrilling scenes and unforgettable images after spending two weeks visiting some of the most spectacular gardens and places in Brazil.
The tour I was leading started out at Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, jumped over to the bustling city of Belo Horizonte in Minas Gerais and ended up at Iguazu Falls, one of the world's seven natural wonders, on the Argentina/Paraguay border.
On the way, we visited amazing gardens, most of them designed or inspired by, but always imprinted with, the bold, unmistakable signature of Brazil's most famous and celebrated landscape architect, Roberto Burle Marx.
Burle Marx was a genius of style. He was not only a superb garden designer and knowledgeable plantsman, but also an artist who produced strikingly original images that have deeply penetrated the collective consciousness of Brazil.
You can see his iconic black and white art squiggles embedded in the pavements and sidewalks all over Rio de Janeiro.
But it was his unwavering enthusiasm for using indigenous South American plants, especially palms, agaves, yuccas, bromeliads, maranta, sansevieria, aloes and unusual tropical trees and shrubs that gave his landscapes their distinctive personality and lush, exotic ambience. We started out by visiting the place where Burle Marx lived and worked until the end of his life: the 3.6-hectare Burle Marx estate, a magnificent garden property in Barra de Guaratiba, on the outskirts of Rio. Burle Marx bought the estate in 1949 with the help of his brother. At the time, the property was mostly undeveloped, but did have a lovely 17th-century chapel, once used by Carmelite nuns.
Burle Marx moved to live permanently on the estate in 1973 until his death at 84 in 1994.
Rather than see the property disappear after his death, Burle Marx bought out his brother and made sure the wonderful garden and art collections were preserved for the future.
Today, the garden, which contains an estimated 3,500 species of plants, is owned and operated by the government.
Stepping through the front gates, we were immediately aware of Burle Marx's love for native plants.
Huge, lush palms were everywhere and Adam's rib philodendrons (Monstera deliciosa) scrambled as high as 18 metres up the trunks of trees.
Most trees were also home to various epiphytic plants - orchids, bromeliads, staghorn ferns and air plants - and as we slowly ascended the hillside along an avenue of Brazilian ironwood trees (Caesalpinia ferrea), we passed grove after grove of sculptural agaves, aloes, aechmea, yuccas, cycads and tropical euphorbias.
At the top of the hill, we reached the house, with its elegant interior of hand-painted blue ceilings and tastefully decorated walls, where Burle Marx lived until his death.
The veranda overlooked a charming water garden where borders were crammed with sansevieria and bright yellow grasses while ornate granite columns rising out of the pond were topped with elegant bromeliads.
There were large plumeria trees, also known as frangipani, and great clouds of pink blooming woolly congea (Congea tomentosa).
Inside the house, we found fine examples of Burle Marx's own art work, as well as many fine examples of Brazilian folk art.
The site also has its own gallery, as well as wonderful art-filled areas designed for receptions and musical events.
Exploring the garden, we were forced repeatedly to stop and identify unknown, neverbefore-seen plants, such as the sorrow-less tree (Saraca asoca).
We were constantly challenged through our time in Brazil by a vast range of new trees to identify, including the golden trumpet tree (Tabebuia chrysotricha), the purple glory tree (Tibouchina granulosa) and various species of Bauhinia, also known as the orchid tree. Burle Marx's garden delivered the first of many botanical lessons.
In another area, we walked down a path lined by quirky walking palms (Socratea exorrhiza) that led to a pond dotted with small islands on which more palms were planted. In the background, there was a gently rising hillside of lush agaves and bromeliads and giant blue fronds of jelly palms.
Before leaving Rio, we took time to ride through the Tijuca forest in open-topped jeeps and to visit the botanical garden, where we found magnificent avenues of royal palms and majestic stands of traveller's palms, bamboo and a woodland of rain trees (Samanea saman).
We also popped into Flamingo Park, another of Burle Marx's efforts, where we found an eyecatching planting of orange Ixora coccinea and a little woodland of cannonball trees (Couroupita guianensis).
My group was puzzled at first by why I had brought them to Belo Horizonte as the city does not show itself that well, despite being a bustling and thriving metropolis with an abundance of top works by Brazil's famous architect, Oscar Niemeyer, who died last year at the age of 105.
But then we went to Inhotim (pronounced In-yo-cheen), a massive 2,025-hectare Shangri-La that is not only a fantastic garden oasis, containing more than 4,500 species of plants, including more than 1,000 kinds of palm, but also the home of Brazil's most impressive collection of modern art, with more than 500 works by dozens of Brazilian and international artists.
It is sensational, one of the biggest and most ambitious botanical projects in the world, a masterpiece of botanical planning and planting on a mega-scale.
Inhotim is the brainchild of 63-year-old millionaire mining magnate and art lover Bernardo Paz, who decided in the 1980s to use his fortune to transform a 1,215-hectare ranch in Brumadinho (a twohour drive southwest of Belo Horizonte) into a spectacular garden complex and museum for contemporary art.
To make his dream a reality, Paz called on talented Burle Marx, whose botanical fingerprints can still be found all over the site, especially in beautiful mass plantings of blue Bismarckia palms and clusters, banks and generous drifts of bromeliads, agaves, cordylines and dracaena.
Today, Inhotim employs about 1,000 people and has been a major revenue boost for the local economy.
Paz is much loved by the local people and is regarded as the=Willy Wonka of horticulture for his ambition and creative vision. He hopes when people visit they will be inspired to want to live a better life.
"When you enter this dream, you are transformed and you start to imagine the life you'd really like to have. You don't want to go back to your life in the city," he once told a reporter.
From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the scope and scale of the project, the attention to detail and the bold, confident planting throughout the entire complex.
Paz has spent hundreds of millions of dollars installing first-class landscaping and topquality facilities.
He is now planning to expand the project even more by building a hotel, golf course and more art pavilions.
There are kilometres of exquisite peachy-pink coloured flagstone paths, all beautifully installed and meticulously maintained. This network of paths brings colour, texture and a feeling of quality to the overall infra-structure and makes it possible to explore the site in a casual, relaxed and virtually effortless way as you stroll from one art pavilion to another. There are four large lakes, all beautifully shaped and lavishly surrounded by exotic tropical plants.
Visitors self-guide themselves around the various art installations, most of which are housed in chic white pavilions, nestled harmoniously into the forest landscape.
But what a thrill it was to walk in a forest of cordylines and beside a wall of spiky dracaenas or down avenues of white-barked eucalyptus under-planted with fiery red salvia or along corridors bordered by palms with trunks easily as beautiful as any columns in a Greek temple.
It was magical. And my group emerged in a suspended state of awe. Bravo to Brazil for its brilliant gardens.

Smith excited for relief role with Kansas City
KANSAS CITY -- Left-hander Will Smith is enjoying his new role as a reliever. Of course, it probably helps since that is what got him recalled from Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.
"It feels good to get back here," Smith said. "I had to go down there and get some things straight to get back up here, so it feels good to be pitching good and get back up here."
Smith, a 23-year-old who was acquired from the Angels in 2010, started 10 games earlier in the Minor League season, but switched to the bullpen for his last seven games. He recorded his first professional save last Friday in Omaha's 7-6 victory against Albuquerque.
"It's fun, because I get to come in for one inning and pitch as hard as I can," Smith said. "I miss the routine part of the start and the preparing and all that stuff, so it is still a transition."
Smith -- who was recalled when reliever Kelvin Herrera was optioned to Omaha -- will join Tim Collins and Bruce Chen as lefty options in the 'pen.
"He's been throwing the ball extremely well down there and he's like Timmy, he's more than a situational lefty, guys that can get righties out, too," Royals manager Ned Yost said. "His stuff has jumped up since he's gone to the 'pen, and I'm anxious to see what he can provide."
Smith started one game for the Royals on April 28, allowing seven hits and six runs (four earned) with five strikeouts in four innings in a loss to the Indians. At Omaha, he was 4-3 as a starter with a 3.26 ERA and went 1-0 with a 0.84 ERA in his seven relief appearances, allowing six hits and one run in 10 2/3 innings.
"I'm not saying that long-term he's not going to go back to being a starter, but right now he's going to be a benefit to us out in the 'pen," Yost said.

More About This Title Time Series Analysis and Forecasting By Example
- English
Time Series Analysis and Forecasting by Example provides the fundamental techniques in time series analysis using various examples. By introducing necessary theory through examples that showcase the discussed topics, the authors successfully help readers develop an intuitive understanding of seemingly complicated time series models and their implications.
The book presents methodologies for time series analysis in a simplified, example-based approach. Using graphics, the authors discuss each presented example in detail and explain the relevant theory while also focusing on the interpretation of results in data analysis. Following a discussion of why autocorrelation is often observed when data is collected in time, subsequent chapters explore related topics, including:
- Graphical tools in time series analysis
- Procedures for developing stationary, non-stationary, and seasonal models
- How to choose the best time series model
- Constant term and cancellation of terms in ARIMA models
- Forecasting using transfer function-noise models
The final chapter is dedicated to key topics such as spurious relationships, autocorrelation in regression, and multiple time series. Throughout the book, real-world examples illustrate step-by-step procedures and instructions using statistical software packages such as SAS®, JMP, Minitab, SCA, and R. A related Web site features PowerPoint slides to accompany each chapter as well as the book's data sets.
With its extensive use of graphics and examples to explain key concepts, Time Series Analysis and Forecasting by Example is an excellent book for courses on time series analysis at the upper-undergraduate and graduate levels. it also serves as a valuable resource for practitioners and researchers who carry out data and time series analysis in the fields of engineering, business, and economics.

It didn't take but a day for James Comey, the director of the FBI, to backtrack on his statements that the bureau was considering reforming hiring policies to attract marijuana-smoking cyber analysts. "I am absolutely dead-set against using marijuana," Comey told a Senate Judiciary Committee oversight hearing Wednesday. "I did not say that I am going to change that ban."
On Tuesday, however, the director said he was "grappling with the question right now" about whether to lift a policy that precludes the FBI from hiring candidates who had used marijuana the past three years.
"I have to hire a great work force to compete with those cyber criminals, and some of those kids want to smoke weed on the way to the interview," Comey told a gathering at the New York City Bar Association on Tuesday.
At that meeting, an attendee told the director that an acquaintance had decided not to apply to the bureau because of the anti-marijuana policy. Comey responded, "He should go ahead and apply."
During the Wednesday oversight hearing, Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) criticized the director's remarks from the day before. "I'm determined not to lose my sense of humor," Comey responded.

Hi everybody,
I'd like to embed PDF files in the browser (mostly mobile). We'd like to avoid solutions that first must go through Google or what have you for privacy reasons.
I know this is possible by way of various services like FlexPaper or PDFTron, but FlexPaper doesn't work so well for a lot of our mobile devices and other services are quite expensive.
Is there a simple way to just display the PDFs even forgoing a lot of the additional functionality those other services provide? Or perhaps a nice simple open-source version?

Pelfrey to DL; Deduno to enter Twins' rotation
MINNEAPOLIS -- Right-hander Mike Pelfrey was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left groin on Friday, and he will be replaced in the rotation by right-hander Samuel Deduno. Shortstop Danny Santana was recalled Saturday from Triple-A Rochester to take Pelfrey's spot on the roster.
Pelfrey has struggled with a 7.99 ERA in five starts this season, including another subpar outing in Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Dodgers, giving up five runs over four innings.
Pelfrey maintained after his start that he was healthy but told Twins manager Ron Gardenhire on Friday that he was dealing with a groin injury. The Twins are hopeful the rest will help Pelfrey regain his velocity, as his fastball is averaging 91 mph compared with 92.4 mph last year, according to Fangraphs.com. Pelfrey has also struggled with his control, walking 18 batters in 23 2/3 innings.
"He came in today saying his groin was bothering him," Gardenhire said. "He tweaked it yesterday and didn't want to make any excuses. He came in today sore. We told him this might give him an opportunity to get his leg well. And then he can go on a rehab assignment and try to get it straightened out. So it's two-fold, get healthy and also figure out why his velocity has dropped down."
Deduno will move from long relief into the rotation to take Pelfrey's place. Deduno has a 2.89 ERA with 18 strikeouts and nine walks in 18 2/3 innings. He also threw 64 pitches in relief for Pelfrey on Thursday. Deduno made 18 starts last year, posting a 3.83 ERA with 67 strikeouts and 41 walks over 108 innings.
"We like what he did last year at times, so we'll see what happens," Gardenhire said. "We'll go from there."
Gardenhire added that outfielder Oswaldo Arcia was not recalled from Triple-A Rochester because he was still on a rehab assignment. Arcia has been on the DL with a right wrist strain since April 5. Infielder Eduardo Nunez is also still at Rochester with an oblique strain.
So the Twins went with Santana, who is rated the club's No. 10 prospect by MLB.com. He was hitting .268/.311/.381 with seven doubles and four stolen bases in 24 games at Rochester.
"After a slow start he swung the bat better," Twins assistant general manager Rob Antony said. "We were just trying to find the right fit. Arcia would've been ideal as a bat on the bench, but he needs at-bats and more time down there."

An employer should allow a worker more than one-day holiday with pay per week on the average. (Imprisonment up to 2 years or fine up to 10 million Won) i don't get this part Wages are paid more than once per month on a fixed day. does anybody get this? An employer should grant one day's paid leave per month to a worker whose consecutive service period is shorter than one year, if the worker has offered work without absence throughout a month. (Imprisonment up to 2 years or fine up to 10 million Won) so does this mean that paid work days are accrued on top of whatever the school gives you? cos my contract says .. X days paid leave but they actually have compulsory leave during times when the school is off. I've had my contract recently terminated after 10 months so does that mean i *should* get 10 days paid leave? Working hours per week should not exceed 40 (or 44) hours excluding break hours. (Imprisonment up to 2 years or fine up to 10 million Won) working hours is counted from the time you enter the school is it? cos we had like an intensive period where we were all at work by 9 and left around 7....and if we were lucky we got like a 40 minute break?

He/she will connect you with a labour board representative who specialises in your particular area (of complaint) and translate the conversation with you on the phone like a conference call. 1350 is a charged call from a cell phone although in my case there were no specialists available immediately so he called me back in about 10 minutes, hence, no charge. I just requested help with this but I think all the info is here. Thank you 1350 immigration will be hearing from me soon. Back to top therandom9Joined: 10 May 2010 Posted: Fri Jun 24, 2011 8:51 am Post subject: Great thread, couple questions. 1. I keep seeing things in the literature about companies with 5 or more permanent employees. Which rules apply if the company has fewer? My place is 5, but just curious. 2. Is the Ministry of Labor/Labor Board the place to go in any situation? I currently have a contract that says I'm governed by the Seoul court (have to check exact name), and not the Labor Board, but I assume that would be invalid? 3. Article 23 says that the term of the contract shall not exceed one year. I was reading a PDF on the Ministry of Labor site, and it said that the maximum period was 2 years. Which of these applies? EDIT: just found the FAQ on MoLabor site; contracts can go for up to a year and 10 months. 4. My contract has some monetary penalties for leaving early (not apartment fees). I assume that those are illegal by Article 27: "An employer shall not enter into any contract by which a penalty or indemnity for possible damages incurred from nonobservance of a labor contract is predetermined. "? 5. I'm pretty sure that I'm a contractor, not an employee. Based on what I read here, I don't think that changes much in terms of the labor standards, is that correct? I am currently happy at my job, but at some point I may want to switch/get a better offer/get an F-2 visa and go to privates, and I want to have all my ducks in a row.

They should trust their crust, because it is light and crisp and pliant.
Denino's is a classic red-brick tavern pizzeria (with a separate dining room), but it is just as welcoming to kids after a little league game as it is to middle-aged softball players coming in for a pie and a brew after a game.
I'm crazy about Denino's sausage pie, which features fine sweet Italian sausage made fresh every day by a local butcher. If you want to go vegetarian, try the white pie, made with mozzarella, onions, fresh garlic, and a splash of olive oil.
After 53 years, you might think the Denino family has gotten bored with making pizza. Not so, according to third-generation co-owner Michael Denino: "We still put our heart and soul into every pie."

A busy day started out with my getting up late. Last night some band was playing about 3-4 blocks away on an outdoor stage. I couldn't hear the music but I could definitely "hear" the bass sound. Then at 11 pm fireworks because the team won. Not being a baseball fan, I didn't even know they were playing. Anyway, I slept in late.
But I'm so glad I didn't miss my first session. The room was full, even at 8 am on Saturday morning. Patricia Wells Stamm spoke on "Railroad Men and the Records They Left Behind." Using the records may not be difficult IF you can find them. This was a great presentation with some good references.
Next I was torn between two courses. I attended "Indirect Evidence: What To Do When Perry Mason Isn't on Your Side" by Harold Henderson. Not a lot of new information here, but I loved the t-shirts on his slide that said "Department of Hints." I often wish there was a service desk in the next room.
I ordered the CD for Elizabeth Shown Mills' "Information Overload?" and attended the session by Laura Murphy DeGrazia on "Should You Believe Your Eyes? Sizing Up Sources and Information." She provided some of the most concise definitions of Source, Information and Evidence that I've seen. I would have liked the talk to be a little more at the intermediate level, but that's just me.
During and after lunch there seemed to be a lot of discussion about how uncomfortable the chairs were in the conference rooms. Lots of us were having hip and back problems. I don't know how these chairs were different, but it seemed like more of us were uncomfortable. But, then there are only 2 more sessions. I can do this.
So on the "Online State Resources for Genealogy" by Michael Hait. Michael said he has subscriptions to all of the major web sites, but he was going to talk about those "other" places to look. He provided a few specific web sites but then also suggested that we look at county government web sites and reminded us that some counties have archives. He also suggested looking at branches of county governments for possible probate and land record indexes online, and then university and public libraries.
The last session of the last day: Rev. David McDonald filled in for another speaker who had a family emergency. So there were no pages in the syllabus and he lost the file for this presentation. He couldn't find it on his computer. Well, if you think this was going to be horrible, you're wrong. David's topic was "Top 10 Tips to Concluding Effective Research." A syllabus was passed out that listed and explained 10 tips. For me, this was a perfect way to end the NGS 2012 conference. A way to decide when "enough is enough."
I'm going to have dinner, catch up (perhaps) on email, index (perhaps) a couple of batches and PACK. I need to leave the hotel about 7 am so the packing must be done tonight.
I have so many new ideas, and ways to be a better researcher and a better organizer and a better evaluator, etc. And, as many of you know, there just aren't enough hours in a day or days in a week, to do it all. But I will get started and I know I won't be sitting around "eating bon-bons" and being bored.
I hope to see you at Jamboree next month or in Las Vegas in one year.

Juha (1999)
Directed by Aki KaurismäkiGenres - Drama | Sub-Genres - Romantic Drama | Run Time - 78 min. | Countries - Finland | MPAA Rating - NR
Share on
Synopsis by Gönül Dönmez-Colin
Aki Kaurismaki's Juha is the fourth adaptation of this love triangle involving a woman and two men. The original story took place in the 18th century and revolved around a former servant girl, Marja, who is married to plain, simple-minded and older Juha, but in love with Russian salesman and 'Casanova' Shemeikka. Kaurismaki's story is set in the late 1970's, shot silent and furnished with captions to disclose the dialogue. It is meant to be watched with live music, preferably with the score's composer Anssi Tikanmaki conducting his own orchestra. Absence of sound (dialogue) is not really new for Kaurismaki, whose 1990 masterpiece Tulitikkutehtaan tyttö/The Match Factory Girl took 17 minutes before a word was uttered. Instead of imitating silent movies, Kaurismaki placed his version of Juha at the moment of the history of silent film when some sound could be used. Acting style and images start somewhere in the late 1920's and towards the end slowly move into the '50's B-movie style. With Timo Salmien behind the lenses, who has been collaborating as cinematographer with Aki and brother Mika Kaurismaki since 1981, and some of the regular cast (such as André Wilms, Elina Salo, Sakari Kuosmanen and Kati Outinen), Juha is distinctively a Kaurismaki film. Published in 1911, well-known Finnish author Juhani Aho's tragic drama has been filmed three times before. The first was Johan in 1920 by Mauritz Stiller, who staged it in provincial Sweden (which was a strange locale for the Finnish audiences). The second, Juha, was brought to screen in 1937 by Nyrki Tapiovaara, who was faithful to the script, but the film was not very successful. The third Juha was by Toivo Sarkka in 1956, and it was also the first Finnish film shot in color. It was the worst of the three, according to film historians, looking like a picture postcard; nevertheless, it was a big box-office hit.

Apparently Oprah Winfrey didn't get the memo about Houston being the best city in Texas. Seriously, it's a fact that the city is the reigning champ.
The media mogul was in Dallas for Bishop T.D. Jakes' MegaFest entertainment and empowerment event last week where she filmed a couple of her popular Lifeclass sessions and told the Dallas Morning News that she prefers that city to Houston. (If you don't know Bishop Jakes, he's sort of like the Big D's version of Lakewood pastor Joel Osteen.)
Winfrey, who teamed up with Osteen for a taping of her self-help show in Houston last year, was asked by the Morning News which Texas city was the best host. She answered, "Dallas won! If you have a rivalry, Dallas won!"
Hasn't she seen all the top 10 lists the Space City has made in the past year? Hasn't she seen the stories about our robust economy and food scene?
Maybe she needs to Google "Houston" and read up on the accolades, then come back and see what she's missing.

|Belicoso, Gordo, Lancero/Panatela
|Dominican Republic
|More Details
Fonseca, amplified.
Carefully blended by cigar legend Manuel Quesada, Fonseca Cubana Limitado employs a bold combination of tobaccos including a Honduran Habano wrapper, Nicaraguan ligero binder, and a robust blend of Dominican long-fillers. Indeed, this is far from your ordinary Fonseca. Expect a bold, Cuban-esque profile that's well-balanced and layered with notes of earth, pepper, coffee, sweetness, and a somewhat 'twangy' finish. This one's a hidden gem.
Fonseca Cubano Limitado received a well-deserved 90-rating noting: "Covered in a notably oily wrapper, this attractive cigar has a lush draw that delivers rich earthy notes matched by molasses and nougat sweetness and a tangy finish."
Wow! This is an excellent cigar with great taste and the aroma is wonderful. This cigar has a twangy finish that is delightful.
Enjoyed one of these yesterday - a nice way to spend an hour and 20 minutes. Nice presentation and good construction, but a bit of a right draw initially (worked out easily though). Good, medium to full body, with flavors of coffee, earth, woodsiness and buttered toast. Nice finish with a slight spice that was very enjoyable. I'd give this one a 9/10 easily.
What a Great smoke very complex smooth and tons of flavor Fonseca has done it again do yourself a favor i would put this blend up against other brands and it could go toe to toe with the best of them.
I am truely amazed at the good things that are coming out of the Fonseca factory. This is another well blended Manuel Quesada stick with a ligero binder. But while it does give it a harder pepper taste, the ligero is not over-powering to the Honduran-Cubano wrapper. I find it very comparable to CAO's Italia but at a fraction of the price. You can also expect compliments if you use the Cubano Limitado as a give away cigar as well provided the reciever can handle this type of taste profile. Some other descriptors as I burn down the leaf are coffee, earthy and a mild sweetness, probably from the D.R. filler. Burned evenly and complete and lasted approximately 1 & 1/2 hours. Great value for a medium/bold premium. Consider pairing with a cup of coffee spiked with a shot of Cafe Patron.
Fonseca's full bodied Cubano Limitado is one fantastic cigar! I love it! This is not your Father's Fonseca, by any stretch. Most of their other offerings would be considered timid by comparison, to the full flavor profile FCL delivers in spades! Can't wait to find these on sale or even on a closeout. I would jump all over them at a reduced price.
Just smoked of of these, great flavor to the stick but the one I had had a run in it and didn't burn evenly, however this did not diminish the flavor at all. I would definitely buy another. Realistically the cigar I had could have sat around a while before I got it, it was in a humidor my dad gave me about three weeks ago, either way definitely worth a try.
I've never really been much of a Fonseca fan, but these are really good. I especially like the Brevita (4.7" x 43) size. Spice/wood/coffee & very smooth - especially on the retrohale. Definitely a "hidden gem".

Buttery Cream Cheese Coffee Cake

Pizzeria Delfina
But lately, when I dream of pizza it's the bubbly, blistering kind that has been baked to smoky perfection. The thin-but-still-sturdy type that's topped with simple, rustic ingredients, good sauce and good cheese. And no one does it better than Pizzeria Delfina, in my opinion.
While my tastes in pizza have changed (and keeps changing) over the years, the one thing that has stayed constant is my must-have-with-pizza beverage. It's root beer. It's always been. And Defina serves Captain Eli's – an herby handcrafted soda from Maine that definitely holds its own.
We started with sand dabs which were fried and served with aioli. If there were more in our party that evening I would have liked a salad (there was one with tuna that sounded particularly scrumptious). But after the one starter our party of 3 went straight to pizza.
First came the special pizza of the day which was topped with guanciale (Italian bacon made from pig's jowls), onions, panna (cream) and lots of black pepper. I appreciated the uniqueness of the ingredients and flavor but somehow it didn't quite seem like pizza without the tang of tomato.Next came the margherita which my buddy LL had the smarts to ask our server to bring out only after we'd completely finished our first. Which meant it came to the table it was blisteringly hot, fresh, and eyes-rolled-back-in-your-head delicious. The crust was a chewy, crackly perfection with sauce that was pure tomato. And the glistening circles of cheese, basil and drizzle of olive oil all added up to something special.
Special enough to be my pie a la mode ('of the moment,' not the dessert!). As I mentioned, this place is small (with 20, possibly 25 seats max), the wait can be long, and it's unfortunately in a not so parking friendly area. But I can't wait to grab some friends and go back again.

Rib Fest
I don't know why I've never gone to this before. 5 straight days. 24 competitive barbecue teams. Over 500,000 rib-loving visitors. This is a big deal!
Officially it's called the Nugget Rib Cook Off and it's been happening every Labor Day in Sparks, NV since 1989. Maybe it had something to do with my past (I spent a couple of challenging months as a hostess at Tony Roma's back in college). Maybe it was thinking of the sheer messiness of eating ribs that made me nervous. But either way, I'm glad I got over it. It was one of the best experience I've had all year.
It got even better when friends texted to say they were joining us . Can I take a minute to say just how awesome is my friend T is? It was the weekend before her wedding and while others might have been busy bridezilla-ing it up, she and her equally awesome now-husband, E, took a break from RSVP wrangling, seating chart-ing, and favor assembling to enjoy some ribs with us.
It's held on the plaza outside the Nugget casino, and draws a huge crowd. It's a bit intimidating to negotiate the (at least) 4-block long stretch of barbecue, beer, lemonade, fried pickles, funnel cakes, garlic fries, and ice cream vendors. Even more intimidating as almost every vendor has a mountain of trophies and awards displayed out in front – making it impossible to choose which one to try.
It's also like 95 degrees! As a newbie I let T, E and MFM (who had all been before) take the lead. MFM and I went a day earlier on Friday and tried the slightly sweet and perfectly unctuous ribs at Texas Thunder. We also tried the slightly dry (in my opinion) but still tasty sampler at Famous Dave's (who knew they had competitive barbecuers in Minnesota?).
But when T & E joined us, the real eating began. We had a strategy. We separated and got a variety of offerings from as many vendors as we could handle – trying a range of items including pork and beef ribs, a pulled pork sandwich, chicken, beans, mac & cheese, hot links, and cornbread – and met back in the middle to share.
We noted that next time, we'll take cue from an Asian family we saw – who came totally prepared with tongs, platters of rice, and markers & name cards so they could remember who to vote for!
My favorite? The delicious, finger-licking ribs from Ohio's Desperado BBQ got my vote for best ribs. It also gets bonus points for its catchy tagline ("Lick my ribs" - I'm still kicking myself for not buying that t-shirt). All attendees were able to vote for the "People's Choice" award, and Bay Area's Back Forty BBQ ended up winning the entire competition.
And just in case you're wondering how many days one can go before getting barbecued-out, for me the answer is exactly two. By Saturday evening all I wanted to do is look for a place to eat pho!

That's It
Having watched that very episode recently, I can't say I totally agree with the critics who said that show was full of corny, touristy places. (I fully support his inclusion of House of Prime Rib, for one). Plus if it wasn't for that show, I would never have known about That's It, home to one of the biggest, most gut-busting tortas I have ever seen.
It's called the Cubana and it's easily a sandwich for 2-3 hungry people. It has: a breaded beef cutlet, chorizo, ham, eggs, a hot dog, cheese, jalapenos, lettuce, tomatoes, mayo and avocado on a soft roll. Seriously, this sucker is at least 8 inches long and 5 inches high.
It's also surprisingly tasty. Yes, it's sodium laden and ingredient-heavy but still manages to deliver discernable flavors and textures (crisp lettuce, creamy avocado). I'm a fan! Amazingly, MFM ate it all by himself while a friend and I shared a (also ginormous) chicken cutlet sandwich – which was also good.
Located in a liquor store on a busy Mission corner, you might not realize this haven for huge sandwiches exists. Enter the store and to the right there's a counter in front of a small grill. You place your order and the friendly torta lady (I read on a blog that her name is Alicia) makes your sandwich. The store is tiny - but if you're lucky you can score one of about 4 seats to enjoy your meal.
It's not a place you can eat every day, but I'd go back again, especially if I was very, very, very hungry.
