In film you have to work well with others when you rely on so many other people to help you create your vision. There are cinematographers, costume designers, lighting designers, set designers, actors, writers, and producers... And you have to find a way to get their best work and create the best film that you can. All this and stay under budget.
When I was done wracking up huge amounts of debt on my credit card, I moved on to working in TV. I produced and wrote ads for cable shows for about 12 years. I worked on shows like Iron Chef, A Baby Story, Ice Road Truckers, and Next Food Network Star. I had to work with Creative Directors who were former producers and sometimes frustrated by the lack of creativity in their new job. I would occasionally work on a project for days only to be told to scrap it and start over. So I became a fast writer and developed a thick skin.
But with novel, a writer is everything: the costume designer, set designer and cinematographer. They don't have to collaborate with anyone. I was surprised when I got my first notes on my first book from my editor. They were so polite and tactful. "You may wish to..." or "I would suggest..." I was an auteur--or at least an author--at last! And being a smart one, I followed most of my very experienced and talented editor's suggestions. And my copy editor's. And my agents.
I tried once to write a screenplay with a friend. We got it done and made it into a film, but I always thought it lacked something. A unique voice, perhaps? Our voices became so mixed that they became slightly schizophrenic. In the end I felt like his best work was missing and so was mine. That experience has made me cautious about collaborating on a very personal writing project again.
But speaking of collaboration--I'm in a really cool book right now with twenty other very cool novelists called MAKING STORY: TWENTY-ONE WRITERS AND HOW THEY PLOT. And this is definitely a case where 21 heads is better than one!

The discovery shocked researchers in its simplicity — could a weak acid bath really be all that was required to trigger a mature blood cell to transform into powerful stem cells?
But the underlying insight that a specialized cell can easily shapeshift into something completely different is just the latest remarkable contribution to a revolution in how scientists think about life's building blocks.
Stem cell biology is often depicted as a field offering medical promises yet to be fulfilled — the near-miraculous potential to one day repair spinal cord injuries or treat heart failure. Focusing on regenerative medicine's thus-far-minuscule impact on patient care, however, misses what scientists have already wrought: a shift in our understanding of cells so radical that it has rewritten the rules of biology in less than a generation.
Even normal cells appear to contain a capacity for regeneration far more powerful than anyone knew. This new idea is opening up profound, almost philosophical questions about why cells would have this capacity, as well as opportunities to study cells that go awry in disease and to one day use patients' own cells to heal them.
"It's slowly changed how we think about life, and I know that sounds grandiose, but it's not grandiose at all," said Dr. Richard T. Lee, a stem cell scientist at Brigham and Women's Hospital, where other researchers devised the surprising new method of creating stem cells that was announced last month. "We're starting to get a better handle that cells maybe can do things that we never though they could do."
Undergraduates routinely do experiments in their laboratory classes that would have seemed like science fiction a decade ago, such as turning stem cells into nerve cells found in the spinal cord that are involved in movement.
Lee, who has recently focused on identifying ways to turn aging heart muscle young again, admits that the projects he is working on in his laboratory today would have seemed "nuts" just five years ago.
If the new finding holds up and is easily repeated by other laboratories, it will be yet another sea change.
For years, the dogma was that mature cells have fixed identities: Skin is skin, muscle is muscle, liver is liver. The predominant view was that early in development, organisms start out with versatile stem cells, which become the multiple kinds of cells in the body, and that this was basically a one-way road — there was no going back from a specialized cell to a stem cell.
But the last decade has been a continual lesson in how that notion is wrong. Cells can be induced to revert to a more basic state by adding a cocktail of four genes, scientists found in 2006 — a discovery that shared the Nobel Prize in 2012.
Scientists have also discovered an increasing number of ways to skip the trip back to a stem cell-like state and directly convert one mature cell type into another, such as changing one type of mouse pancreatic cell into the type that makes insulin.
The recipe for creating stem cells from mature cells or changing cell types has continually gotten simpler and safer for potential therapeutic use, with a team reporting last year that they could trigger the change without using viruses to insert genes into a cell, which raises the risk of cancer.
Even for scientists in the midst of pushing these various technologies forward, it can be startling to take a step back and remember how quickly notions about what is possible have changed.
"It's unbelievable. I teach undergraduates at Harvard, and it's like normal, assumed knowledge — they don't blink. These cells can turn into these other cells. That's normal" to them, said Paola Arlotta, an associate professor in the department of stem cell and regenerative biology at Harvard University. "They grew up in these years, where these things can happen."
So while the report by Boston and Japanese scientists in late January that a simple environmental stress was enough to turn mature cells back into stem cells is a radical idea, it is in keeping with other upheavals now accepted as fact.
Few scientists will feel confident that the simple acid-bath technique will work to create stem cells until other laboratories repeat the experiment, which many researchers are already trying to do.
But, to varying degrees, scientists are open to the possibility that it works — in part because time after time, research has shown how malleable cells really are.
Konrad Hochedlinger, a stem cell scientist at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard, said that he's not as skeptical as some of his colleagues because he has had the experience of being surprised by biology.
Early in his career, Hochedlinger was one of the scientists racing to identify factors that could be added to a mature cell to trigger its return to a stem cell-like state.
He recalls the wide range of techniques tried, such as fusing cells of different types together. They also tried adding many molecules to cells.
In 2006, a Japanese scientist, Dr. Shinya Yamanaka, showed it took only four genes to make embryonic-like stem cells that they called induced pluripotent, or iPS, cells.
"Everyone was surprised. Now, everyone accepts it as, 'Yeah, of course, iPS cells were always there,' " Hochedlinger said. "I thought it would require dozens if not hundreds of molecules. . . . That's part of the reason I try to keep an open mind, even though I am also surprised by this acid finding. I'm open to the possibility this is really possible."
There's natural caution. The field is so new and so hot that it has been burned in the past by exciting results that turned out to not be easily repeatable, or to have been generated by flawed experiments. But many are hopeful that the new finding will turn out to be true, because it will open up new mysteries to pursue about cells' capabilities.
Why would it be so easy for cells to revert back to a primitive state in the first place? Does it naturally happen in the body? If it's relatively easy, does the real question become how nature keeps cells from changing most of the time?
If the field is ever going to build new, functioning organs or cells to replace sick brain cells, scientists will need to know that secret, too.
"It's actually a really sort of spooky time," Lee said. "Because I think that there's this excitement and worry at the same time — excitement over the things we can do, but worry about how to do them and how to control them so that we can really make good on the promises."

Arizona State University turned in an opening-round 20-over-par 308 Tuesday at PGA Golf Club's Wanamaker Course to grab the first-round lead in the 10th PGA Jones Cup presented by Golf Pride.
The Sun Devils hold a one-stroke lead over Methodist University, which totaled a 309. North Carolina State University and the University of Nebraska are tied for third at 312; while the University of Nevada-Las Vegas is in fifth at 313; and Florida State University is sixth at 314.
"Our guys played excellent," said Geoff Huston, PGA Golf Management University Program Director at Arizona State. "All our guys were under par in their qualifying scores at our school, so we were pretty confident coming in that we could play well. If we can get four scores under 75 tomorrow, we will be in good shape."
In the face of 18-mph swirling winds, Timmy Osterbind led the Sun Devils, collecting two birdies on his way to a 2-over-par 74.
Osterbind is excited about the opportunity his team has to win its first title.
"I know we have a strong team," said Osterbind. "I don't want to get cocky, but I knew if we all shot below 80 we had a real chance this week."
The low score of the first round was posted by North Carolina State's Ben Nelson, who used four birdies en route to a 73.
Florida State's Lauren Himebaugh of nearby Palm City, Fla., was the sole female competitor in the 100-player field, holding her own with an 83, despite the blustery conditions.
"I play with the guys in the Florida State Golf Management program all the time, so I am not really intimidated by playing with all the guys," she said. "I enjoy it - it's extra competition."
The 36-hole event, featuring all 20 schools in the PGA Golf Management University program, includes the top five players from each University.
The event brings together teams from 16 states, who are competing at PGA Golf Club for the fourth consecutive year.
The PGA Jones Cup presented by Golf Pride is named for the first PGA Golf Management University Program Director at Mississippi State University, Dr. S. Roland Jones, who held the position from 1985, until his passing in 1997.
The event serves to provide a platform where participants can display professionalism, integrity, character and camaraderie; all characteristics Dr. Jones instilled in PGA Golf Management students.
All participating universities in the PGA Jones Cup presented by Golf Pride are schools accredited by The PGA of America to offer the four-and-one half to five-year PGA Golf Management University Program for aspiring PGA Professionals. The college curriculum provides extensive classroom studies, internship experience and player development, and provides students the opportunity to acquire knowledge and skills to succeed in the golf industry as a PGA Professional.
Students in the PGA Golf Management University Program study a combination of golf and business-related subjects, as well as serve a minimum of 16 months in on-course internships within the golf industry.

The late night TV ratings scorecard is where we chart the ups and downs across a portion of the late night TV landscape on a weekly basis.
For the week of February 14-18, 2011 compared to the previous week:
- NBC's Tonight Show (Leno) was down a tenth to a 0.9 adults 18-49 rating.
- CBS's Late Show (Letterman) was even with a 0.9 adults 18-49 rating.
- ABC's Nightline was even with a 0.9 adults 18-49 rating.
- TBS' Conan was even with a 0.6 adults 18-49 rating.
- Comedy Central's Daily Show (Stewart) was up vs. REPEATS last week 0.3 to a 0.7 adults 18-49 rating.
Those looking for the final tally/chart of Jay vs. Conan Tonight Show ratings click here.
The chart shows the late night adults 18-49 weekly average ratings beginning the first week of 2011.
Because of network, timeslot and running time differences, these ratings comparisons are necessarily somewhat apples to oranges. The Tonight Show and The Late Show run 11:35p-12:35a, Nightline runs 11:35p-12:00a, Conan runs 11:00p-12:00a, and The Daily Show runs 11:00-11:30p. Here's a limited look at the advantage the earlier/shorter shows have in the ratings PR battle.
Assumptions are that the broadcast networks are in substantially all of the 115.9 million US TV households. TBS is in 101 million households, Comedy Central is in 99 million.

This spring, more than 70,000 bees are expected to fly into the Port of Portland to inhabit a custom-made Langstroth bee hive.
The first of its kind at the Port, the hive assembly was carefully constructed by Greg Sparks, Port project development manager and avid beekeeper. Sparks will install the hive on the ecoroof located on the 10th floor of the Port headquarters building. When in flower, the ecoroof acts as a foraging home for bees and native pollinators.
While honeybee pollination is vital in much agricultural food production, honeybee populations are in decline in North America. The hive will further Port environmental efforts by offering honeybees a secure place to live and thrive and propagate the species. The hive will also raise the awareness of the importance of honeybees.
The hive is made of natural pine and cedar and contains more than 40 frames that the bees will use to build comb for making and storing honey and for the queen to lay eggs and raise young bees. Once established, the colony could produce up to 100 pounds of honey during the six-month pollination period, and will forage for up to two miles from their home. Honey produced by the colony will not be harvested the first year to allow them to become a well established and thriving colony. The colony will not be treated with chemicals, but rather be allowed to exist naturally in their new environment.
Port employees will watch as the honeybees work and produce honey; learn about the 45-day lifecycle of a worker bee, and the three-year lifecycle of the queen bee, and witness the ever-changing lifecycle of a honeybee colony.

The Hot Place to Be
Marketers with a presence in the desert for the Coachella festival weekend said the opportunity was too rich to miss—even in lean economic times.
Ask any marketer with a presence at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and he'll tell you that the opportunity to promote in the desert during the festival weekend is unmissable and nonnegotiable—even in a downturn. Chalk it up to the sheer concentration of well-connected and enthusiastic music industry folks, fans, and friends captive in the middle of the desert, or to the extreme temperatures and terrain, or to the totally immersive quality of the whole thing—but the attendant brands felt they couldn't afford to be left out, even if this year's economic climate made sponsorship participation and overall budget dollars tougher to wrangle. The festival kicked off on Friday and wrapped Sunday night in Indio.
"This year was really difficult. Sponsors are putting each event under a microscope, and they want to make sure it's the right type of event for the right R.O.I.," said Andreas Herr, publisher of Anthem magazine, whose desert party has developed a reputation as the most authentically hedonistic and bacchanalian of the weekend. "But the reason it's so important for us is that it's all about contributing to the lifestyle that we cover inside of the magazine. So many people look forward to this event throughout the year. At a time like this, it's really important to give our fans and our readers something to really look forward to. That one weekend when you can really escape reality and go out there and have fun. It's our biggest event that we do throughout the year, and we have a lot of fun doing it."
This year, Anthem's signature event included a Saturday pool party at a sprawling five-acre ranch property with a three-acre lake. (Herr characterized it this way: "The rough theme is '70s porno ranch meets disco. Does that even make sense? It makes sense to me.")
The heat and the distance from civilization—or, at least, the closest major city, Los Angeles—may be two of the factors that combine to make the experiential quality that appeals to marketers: The cool kids and influencers are captive in the Coachella environment. "It's an opportunity for us to sit with 1,000 tastemakers together in one place—managers, musicians, media, magazines," said the Marketing Division's Eddie Donaldson, who with Urb magazine's Raymond Roker worked on a two-day event covering a massive estate near the concert grounds known as Indioasis. "Brands get the chance to interact with these tastemakers in a non-professional environment, which changes the entire emotional connection. Meaning: If I sent you a pair of shoes to your office and you opened the box, that would be kind of cool, right? But it's way better when you're in the sun and you've got a buzz and some cute guy sizes you up and gives you a pair of shoes. It just means a lot more."
T-Mobile was back again at a private airplane hangar in Palm Springs to fete its T-Mobile G1 with Google. DJ Momjeans was among the top-tier DJs who spun for celebrities and other invited guests at the "Tone-Def After-Party" on Saturday night, which began at 11 p.m. and continued into the a.m. hours. "Coachella is a premiere music destination and the party is an opportunity to create an exciting and unforgettable event that is relevant to our customers [who make the] yearly pilgrimage," said T-Mobile USA senior manager for promotions Cassie Jenkins.
At the party, guests were invited to gaze into the black desert sky while researching their horoscopes using the G1's Sky Maps application. "One of the best memories people have when leaving Coachella Valley is the almost surreal view of the night sky, so we are excited to showcase the application at the party," said Jenkins. At a piano bar, guests could request songs via text messages to the pianist, Ron Tanski (from L.A.'s Cafe Was), by way of G1s provided at tables—an effort to "highlight the ease of use and functionality of the phone," Jenkins said. Ping-pong tables, pool, and foosball were all on offer—as was an abundance of comfort foods from the likes of Tommy's Burger and Chipotle, and Coffee Bean trucks. T-Mobile also hosted a daytime hospitality suite at La Quinta Resort & Club.
The House of Hype took over the new Riviera for three days and nights of poolside events and parties known as Music Loves Fashion. Levi's also hosted three days' worth of events with the new Ace Hotel in Palm Springs, including a gifting area set up in a homey suite in the casual, hipster-oriented property. Entertainment came from acts like Y La Bamba, the Cave Singers, and the Thriftstore Allstars, plus a pre-release listening party for Sonic Youth's latest effort, The Eternal.
Also focusing its offerings primarily on music was Vitaminwater Sync's Good Life pool parties, which featured acts like Doug E. Fresh and Spank Rock at the Viceroy. Mike McGuiness of Feinstein/McGuiness PR, which co-presented the event with Jelly NYC and Tommy Alastra Productions—with technical production from Stoelt Productions—said that the festival is a great opportunity to market to people who are feeling legitimately relaxed and have let their guard down. "Talent can go and pull their hats down and get lost in the sea of people. No one has to work, no one has to network. People can just do their own thing," said McGuiness, who added that the economy has nevertheless posed challenges as far as sponsor dollars go. "Whereas last year one company would spend $200,000, now it takes 10 companies to spend $100,000, so you have to hit it from more angles. Everyone definitely wants a presence out there, but even the companies with the money to spend don't want to look ostentatious."
McGuiness, who has had an event presence in the desert for four years, suggested that the number of events around the festival has not diminished in the recession—but the scale of each has. Indeed, Anthem whittled its party from a weekend-long affair down to a single day this year. McGuiness mentioned one other economic effect, too: "Because of the economy, Coachella is not giving away the backstage passes [it used to], so we don't have those to dangle as carrots. So part of our means of incentivizing people is stripped."
Filter magazine started its presence in the desert years ago—when there were thousands of people with nothing to do when the music stopped, or before it began. But now the landscape is vastly different. Events—with lures like high-end DJs, open bars, product giveaways, and giant inflatable pool toys—litter the desert landscape. That's why Filter hosts its party (co-sponsored by Lucky Brand) early, on Thursday night before the concerts begin, to differentiate it from the crowd and accommodate Goldenvoice's official program instead of competing with it, as others do. "Saturday at noon there's a lot of pool parties going on, but that isn't who we want," said the magazine's cofounder and co-owner Alan Miller. "We aren't interested in people who aren't going to the festival. It makes sense to work with the communities and the venues to create some kind of an added-value event that's really important for the sponsors and artists as well."
The Marketing Division's Donaldson said the clutter isn't a problem. "We kind of have a built-in audience based on our equity and position in the market, with all of our partners," he said. "And if you have that, there's enough celebrities for everybody."
Notwithstanding the proliferation of competing parties, or the effects of the recession, it appears the events may be sticking to Coachella for the long haul. "It's almost to the point when we're not allowed to skip this party," said Filter's Miller. "We're constantly inundated with people saying, 'Hey, are you doing a party again?' We come every year, and it's really a staple. Not doing it would be a real loss to the excitement that people have for the week. Once you've experienced it, you do look forward to it every year."
Correction: This story has been changed to reflect Lucky Brand's co-sponsorship of the Filter party.

The Best Cookbooks of the Decade [goodbye aughties]
While 2009 was full of spectacular cookbooks, the rest of the decade hasn't been too shabby either. With How to Cook Everything (published in 1998) and French Laundry (1999) completely changing the game for home and restaurant cookbooks alike, the next few years were already set up for greatness. Through the hundreds and hundreds of volumes that saw the light of day between 2000 and 2009, EMD's Helen Rosner, Paula Forbes, Raphael Brion, and Ryan Adams picked the books that made the decade.
Think Like a Chef by Tom Colicchio (Amazon)
Tom Colicchio wrote this pre-Craft, pre-Top Chef, all the way back when he was the chef at Gramercy Tavern. It's a clear precursor to the seasonal haute barnyard New York City cuisine: back then heirloom tomatoes could only be had at the farmers market, not at every corner grocery. The book's structure is unique, and it's instructional without being pandering: first, basic techniques (braising, sauce-making, etc), then increasingly complex studies of single ingredients, then ingredient trilogies, and finally full chapters of recipes divided by season. Looking back at it, it's shocking (and also not) how timeless it really is. It both documented and prophesized a very specific way of thinking and cooking, pronouncing a pivotal shift in American cuisine. –RB
Staff Meals from Chanterelle by David Waltuck (Amazon)
This book, a collection of hearty, unpretentious family meal recipes from a delicate, mildly pretentious New York restaurant (which, sadly, closed this year), was the first clue I ever got that restaurants had back-of-house existences beyond what I experienced as a customer in the dining room. (I know, I know, but I was a kid back then.) It painted a warm, chummy, delicious-food-filled picture of what went on before and after service and behind closed doors — a far cry from the illusion-shattering bluster of 2001's Kitchen Confidential. It doesn't hurt that the recipes are fantastic, comfort food constructed with haute cuisine expertise, Ad Hoc at Home six years before Ad Hoc even opened. –HR
The River Cottage Cookbook by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall (Amazon)
I don't think it's an overestimation to say that this book is the butterfly whose wing-flap led to the current culinary hurricane of locavorism, foraging, and DIY butchery. Sure, there are recipes, but what's really galvanizing here is Fearnley-Whittingsall's unbridled passion for (and seeming obliviousness to the notion that anyone could not be passionate about) growing his own vegetables, raising and slaughtering his own livestock, foraging around his home and restaurant for whatever delicious items happen to have grown there, and then preserving and preparing all those things in the most stunningly simple, spectacular ways. –HR
The Zuni Cafe Cookbook by Judy Rodgers (Amazon)
I found this book when I was in college, thanks entirely to the home cooking forums on Chowhound.com, where quite possibly millions of posts have been written about Zuni Cafe's recipe for roast chicken with bread salad. For one reason or another I still haven't gotten around to actually making the chicken, but thanks to Rodgers's fluid narrative voice this was the first cookbook I sat down and read through cover to cover. The recipes are often intimidatingly difficult and precise, but I've never had a miss. One day I'll get around to the chicken. –HR
Flavor by Rocco DiSpirito (Amazon)
Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Earlier in the decade, Rocco DiSpirito was a pretty respectable chef, and Flavor is proof of that. Full of amazing, innovative food photography by Henry Leutwyler, the recipes are fresh, non-fussy fusion, and they really work. From that to Dancing With the Stars? Sigh. —PF
Bouchon by Thomas Keller with Michael Ruhlman (Amazon)
I've never been a huge fan of The French Laundry (or, for that matter, the restaurant). I respect it. I admire it. But I will not cook from it. To me, it's too foreign, too expensive, too fancy, too removed from the way that normal humans eat and cook. On the other hand, Bouchon (and the restaurant) takes simple, traditional bistro fare and, thanks to Thomas Keller's exacting principles, elevates it to something extraordinary. To be sure, some of it is ridiculous: caramelizing onions for five hours? Please. But damn, if you need guidance in making the best bistro-style food, including the ultimate quiche (and yes, it will take you hours), this is the book for you. –RB
The Whole Beast: Nose-to-Tail Eating by Fergus Henderson (Amazon)
Five years ago, I'd have laughed right in your face if you'd have told me that not only would I eventually be cooking offal on a regular basis, but loving every minute of it. That was before I cracked open Henderson's magnum opus, a cookbook that presents the fifth quarter openly, simply, and honestly. I can't say that about many of the other cookbooks I own. –RA
Bones: Recipes, History, and Lore by Jennifer McLagan (Amazon)
The precursor to McLagan's equally excellent 2008 cookbook Fat, Bones is responsible for getting me over my squeamish fear of cooking bone-in steaks, gnawing the good bits off the end of a chicken leg, and scraping the marrow out of veal shanks. It also uses the bone as a philosophical jumping-off point, boneless meats serving as a potent symbol for our increasing disconnect from the animals we're eating. It's also gorgeous to look at — not just in the austere, bleached ivory way the title might imply, but robustly, meatily beautiful. –HR
Charcuterie: The Craft of Smoking, Salting, Curing by Michael Ruhlman and Brian Polcyn (Amazon)
A bible if ever there was one, Ruhlman's homage to the slow art of meat curing is an absolute masterpiece of single-minded commitment. Each preparation is minutely detailed, meticulously researched, exhaustively tested, and totally and completely doable (assuming you have the time, the humidity control, and easy access to lots of pork). These are recipes totally worth risking botulism for. –HR
Happy in the Kitchen by Michel Richard with Peter Kaminsky (Amazon)
It's always mystified me that Michel Richard hasn't attained the kind of global, slavering fans that attend chefs like Thomas Keller, Eric Ripert, and Grant Achatz. But maybe he likes it that way: his D.C. based restaurants are far and away the best in town, thanks in part to Richard's giddy, boyish playfulness with his ingredients and flavors. This cookbook — packed with trompe l'oeil dishes, visual puns, bait-and-switch preparations, and just plain bright and shiny recipes — captures Richard's effervescence. On top of that, for all the whimsy and spectacle, it's completely cookable: Romaine on Romaine and the asparagus-stuffed salmon are in regular rotation in my kitchen. –HR
The River Cottage Meat Book by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall (Amazon)
It's intimidating how much Fearnley-Whittingstall knows about meat — so much that didn't make it into the first River Cottage cookbook is in this volume, and he's probably got a lot left over still to tell. Although it's full of gorgeous shots of meat and sumptuous recipes, this is mostly about the information: page after page of text on cuts of meat, how to store them and cook them, when to use them, and how to talk to your butcher about them. Anything you need to know to be a better carnivore is in these pages. –PF
Alinea by Grant Achatz (Amazon)
I'm not sure if any other cookbook has ever been as hotly anticipated as Alinea — and it didn't disappoint. The actual recipes from Grant Achatz's genre-busting Chicago restaurant may not be manageable for most of us, but they're conceptually fascinating and meticulously explained. The fact that the book is absolutely gorgeous doesn't hurt, either. –PF
Eat Me: The Food and Philosophy of Kenny Shopsin (Amazon)
This idiosyncratic, beautifully-designed cookbook demolished all the rules of the genre — what other cookbook mentions masturbation? Uncannily capturing Shopsin's raw, unedited humor and philosophy, Eat Me is a backstage pass into a legendarily tiny kitchen that can generate hundreds, if not thousands, of varieties of dishes within mere minutes. It's an inspirational and genuine piece of literature, a too-short biography of a prodigal chef, and a chronicle of a New York City long-gone. Also, it gives you a much better idea of what to order. –RB
On the Line by Eric Ripert and Christine Muhlke (Amazon)
Most restaurant-based cookbooks promise that between their covers lies the soul of the restaurant, with varying degrees of accuracy. Ripert's everything-including-the-kitchen-sink snapshot of Le Bernardin is equal parts scrapbook, inventory, philosophy textbook, intimate autobiography, and masterful cookbook. Once you start turning the pages, it's almost impossible to stop until you've reached the very end. –HR
The Big Fat Duck Cookbook by Heston Blumenthal (Amazon)
Quite possibly the most opulent cookbook every created, this is both an artistic and gastronomic achievement of epic proportions. From its fairytale-like beginning through the seemingly-impossible recipes to its brain-numbingly complex scientific conclusion, Blumenthal's masterwork is unparalleled. –PF

I feel rather like I've been I've hit by a truck, rolled up like a pancake, smoked about halfway down, stubbed out on a gas station toilet seat, flushed down said toilet, backed up onto a city street, and rolled over by a truck one more time. In other words, it's been a really long and pretty awful 36 hours. However, in the net, things could always be worse. In light of my emotional and physical exhaustion, I'll do my best to succinctly catch you up:
I need to call the vet and get a report, but to the best of my knowledge, Pixie is still alive. I'm a total coward, and when it turned out she had cancer, I just couldn't pull the trigger. She was so happy to see me and looked so lively and so NORMAL it seemed unfathomable to have them kill her. Moreover, my own vet told me she'd had dogs who lived through this same ordeal (small tumor on the spleen – in this case 1″ x 2″ – rupture and then be removed) go on to live another year or two.
The big problem here is that (to quote the emergency room vet at midnight last night) when the spleen tumor burst it "showered her abdominal cavity in cancer cells." This is pretty much hands down the worst image ever conjured. I friggin hate EVERYTHING about the idea of that. In reaction, I am conjuring up every new age defense in my arsenal: showering her in white light, filling her with golden light, laying on of hands (not that I have any special talent or anything, beyond maybe sheer will), pseudo-Reiki (see again, no real talent or training. I just focused and tried to make my hands get hot. No idea if that's even a technique). I'm also researching every alternative, far out, and plain old wackadoo theory on cancer. If there's a supplement or vitamin or diet that can spare her more suffering, I'm bound and determined to find it.
As a side note, here's an interesting little assertion I found. I have no idea if this is true or anything, just thought it was kind of wild, "
Some doctors implicate fungi as a cause of leukemia. In 1999 Meinolf Karthaus, MD, watched three different children with leukemia suddenly go into remission upon receiving a triple antifungal drug cocktail for their "secondary" fungal infections.
In 1997 Mark Bielski stated that leukemia, whether acute or chronic, is intimately associated with the yeast, Candida albicans, which mutates into a fungal form when it overgrows.
Milton White, MD. believed that cancer is a chronic, infectious, fungus disease. He was able to find fungal spores in every sample of cancer tissue he studied. Some other doctors agree with him. Such as the Italian doctor who has his patients take a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda, baking soda, in a glass of water half an hour before breakfast. This alkalinized the digestive tract so that it would help eliminate candida."
Anyway, I had the vet remove her tumor, and she told me that if she got in there and found any signs that the cancer had spread, she'd put her down. She didn't. That's the good news. The bad news is that the removal of her spleen and the general stress of it all has caused a myocardial something or other. Her heartbeat is 240 beats per minute. I felt it with my own hand as I transported her back to the emergency vet for observation tonight. On that note, it's just wait and see and continue praying that she not only makes it through this, but that I've done the right thing and she truly does live another two years or even more.
In other news, I *think* I've managed to keep my job for the trip. On Wednesday after resigning and hearing nothing, I called my boss and left an angry (for me) voicemail. I told him I deserved better than this, I'd never felt so disrespected, I was 'deeply, deeply disappointed' and closed with 'is this really what you want?" He called back shortly thereafter and said, "Do you really want to quit!?" I told him no, of course not, but then relayed the conversation I'd had (presumably at his bidding) with E. His reaction? "That's ridiculous. That's a ridiculous conversation." Yeah. No sh!t. Thanks for having her call me.
Lastly, I've spent entirely too long booking rooms for the first few weeks of my trip. I figure I need to nail things down through the end of tourist season (August), and I'll wing it from there. Thus far, for anyone interested, the booked itinerary is:
- Iceland
- London
- Bath
- London
- Edinburgh (flying there)
- Glasgow
- Belfast
- Dublin
- Cliffs of Moher
- Blarney/Schull
- Cape Clear Island
- Dublin
- Lisbon (by plane, obviously)
- Madrid
- Valencia
- Barcelona
- Lourdes
Until tomorrow…

The Young Avengers are a fictional superhero team appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The team, created by Allan Heinberg and Jim Cheung, features numerous adolescent characters who typically have connections to established members of Marvel's primary superhero team, the Avengers.[1] The Young Avengers were originally featured in a twelve issue run, later appearing in several notable Marvel crossover series, including the Civil War and The Children's Crusade events, before the series was relaunched in January 2013 as part of the Marvel NOW! rebranding by writer Kieron Gillen and artist Jamie McKelvie.
The original series won the 2006 GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Comic Book and the 2006 Harvey Award for Best New Series. The second volume by Kieron Gillen also received the award for Outstanding Comic Book at the 25th GLAAD Media Awards in 2014.
Young Avengers follows the events of the 2004–2005 "Avengers Disassembled" storyline. The four founding members of the team are gathered as a result of the Vision's plan for the reformation of the Avengers in the event the team disbanded. In the series, newspapers refer to the young heroes as "super-powered fanboys" and label them the "Young Avengers," a name the team members initially dislike but which sticks nonetheless.
Marvel's 1940s forerunner, Timely Comics, had an unrelated character, Young Avenger, who debuted in USA Comics #1 (Aug. 1941).[2]
Fictional team biography[edit]
Volume 1[edit]
In "Sidekicks" (issues #1–6), reporters Jessica Jones (a former teen superhero known as Jewel) and Kat Farrell of The Daily Bugle and heroes Captain America and Iron Man investigate a new group of teenage heroes. The story is set in the time between the "Avengers Disassembled" storyline and the beginning of New Avengers. Although the team defeats Kang the Conqueror, Captain America and Iron Man take away their gear and refuse to train the team without their parents' consent. Despite the heroes' warnings, the team continues with a new headquarters, new costumes, and new names.
In "Secret Identities" (issues #7–8), the Young Avengers must decide how much to tell their parents after the members decide to continue acting publicly. None of their parents find out. During a fight with Mr. Hyde in Young Avengers #8, Wiccan discovers Eli abusing Mutant growth hormone (MGH) which gives people powers for short periods. Eli confesses that he deceived Iron Lad who meant to recruit his missing uncle Josiah in order to join the team. He quits the team, overwhelmed with emotion.
At the insistence of Kat Farrell, Jessica Jones interviews the Young Avengers about their pasts.[3] Cassie Lang had a troubled home life, especially after her father Ant-Man died. She and her mother constantly fought, and she hated her mother's boyfriend. Had the Young Avengers not formed, Cassie planned to join the Runaways. Teddy Altman abused his shapeshifting powers to spend time with a more popular kid. He realized that he had gone too far when his "friend" tried to force him to steal artifacts from the destroyed Avengers Mansion. Billy Kaplan had a problem with being accepted because of his sexuality. He was tormented and physically abused. He met the Scarlet Witch, who explained that being different is not bad. He eventually stands up to his tormentor for another kid. He nearly kills him when his powers become dominant. Kate Bishop was brutally assaulted in a park. Eli Bradley used MGH because he felt powerless against some thugs and wanted to prove that his grandfather truly was the black Captain America.
K'Lrt the Super-Skrull tries to take Teddy to the Skrull homeworld.[4] K'Lrt reveals that Mrs. Altman is not Teddy's mother and kills her. In the aftermath, K'Lrt kidnaps Teddy. The Vision offers to locate more Young Avengers using his prior incarnation's contingency plan. The Young Avengers break Thomas Shepherd out of a superhuman prison and recruit him. Tommy can move at superhuman speed and accelerate matter, destabilizing it enough to cause an explosion. The Super-Skrull tells Teddy of his true origin as the son of the Kree hero Captain Marvel and the Skrull princess Anelle. He then claims that Tommy and Billy are the Scarlet Witch and Vision's lost twin sons. Billy believes him, but Tommy does not. Kree and Skrull combat forces arrive and fight each other and the Young Avengers until Teddy, realizing his importance to both sides, calls for a ceasefire. The Avengers intervene and a Kree warrior fires at Captain America. Patriot intervenes and is gravely wounded. Hulkling and K'Lrt end the fighting by secretly shapeshifting into each other's forms. Captain America and K'Lrt, disguised as Hulkling, broker a shared custody between the races.
At a hospital, Eli's grandfather donates his blood to Eli. Captain America again tells the Young Avengers to stop what they are doing. Kate blames their trouble on the Avengers for not training them. The Young Avengers repair the statues of fallen Avengers at Avengers Mansion. Eli now has superpowers as a result of the blood transfusion. Kate receives Hawkeye's bow and quiver from Captain America, and she takes the mantle of Hawkeye. Tommy arrives in costume and calls himself Speed.
"Civil War"[edit]
In Civil War #2, the members of Young Avengers are captured by S.H.I.E.L.D. for not complying with the registration act. Captain America and the Falcon help them escape, freeing Wiccan, allowing him to teleport the group to a base only known to Nick Fury and a few resistance fighters. Once in Captain America's secret base, the Young Avengers join the resistance movement called Secret Avengers. In issue #3, the
agger (comics)|Cloak]], is knocked out via tranquilizers while the rest of the Young Avengers joins the fight against Iron Man and the pro-registration heroes. Stature leaves the resistance after Goliath is killed by a clone of Thor and the Secret Avengers are forced to retreat from battle leaving Wiccan behind. However, shortly afterwards Stature registers and begins superhero training. The remainder of the team remained with Captain America. Stature is seen alongside Iron Man and the rest of the "pro-reg" group during the final battle between registered and rebel heroes. Deadpool is commissioned as a "hero hunter" in the war and frequently remarks how he'd like to capture "those nubile Young Avengers".
With the surrender of Captain America, the rest of the Young Avengers are granted amnesty in exchange for registration. All the members except Hawkeye and Patriot registered, and began training at Camp Hammond. In the last issue of the Fallen Son crossover, when the funeral of Captain America takes place at Washington D.C., all of the Young Avengers are seen, wearing their Super Hero outfits, and are even mentioned by name by the Falcon, while delivering the ceremonial speech. This suggests another amnesty was offered to Hawkeye, Patriot and Speed, who had stayed in the resistance after the end of the Civil War, alongside the New Avengers.
In She-Hulk #21, it was revealed that the Hulking and Wiccan that joined the Initiative were actually a pair of interdimensional travelers known as "Alphas" whereas the actual Hulkling and Wiccan were shocked at the discovery that they had registered. Hawkeye, Patriot, and Speed, remain unregistered.[5]
"Young Avengers Presents"[edit]
In the 2008 miniseries Young Avengers Presents, Patriot discovers that Bucky had visited his grandfather Isaiah Bradley. After tracking him down, Patriot shares his concerns losing faith in the country. Bucky explains to Eli that America is an idea used for good or ill, but one with value to it and something worth defending against all threat, inspiring the younger hero once more.[5] Hulkling meets Mar-Vell, telling him that he is his son, much to Mar-Vell's shock. While Captain Mar-Vell is proud of his son, he confesses that he will not be able to stay forever, as the survival of the time stream depends on him eventually returning to the past and dying from cancer. This Captain Marvel eventually turned out to be a Skrull sleeper agent in place for the "Secret Invasion".[6] Wiccan and Speed begin searching for the Scarlet Witch, whom they believe to be their mother. Upon searching the former home of the Scarlet Witch and Vision in Leonia, NJ; they encounter Master Pandemonium, who advises them to end their search and embrace their present lives. Vision tells Cassie that after "Civil War", he traveled around the world posing as different people, living many different lives, ultimately culminating in a better understanding of who he is. He asserts that he is his own person, not the memories of Iron Lad, confessing his love to Cassie, and states that he wishes to now be called Jonas. Cassie demonstrates that she is unsure but is willing to reciprocate his feelings.[7] During the story, Cassie is also stricken with guilt after accidentally injuring her stepfather while stopping a villain, forcing her to come to terms with the responsibilities that come with her powers and with being part of the Young Avengers and the Initiative, much as her stepfather also understands the risks of life as a policeman. Hawkeye feels uncomfortable about her growing relationship with Patriot, and encounters Clint Barton, the original Hawkeye, who helps her reaffirm her position as Hawkeye and Young Avengers co-leader.
"Secret Invasion"[edit]
In the 2008 miniseries Secret Invasion: Runaways/Young Avengers, the Young Avengers again teamed with the Runaways in a Secret Invasion tie-in.[8] The Young Avengers are the first to respond to the Skrull invasion in Manhattan, New York. They are quickly defeated, though Xavin manages to rescue Hulkling. The leaders of the Skrull invasion intend to assassinate Hulking, for fear that his identity as Dorrek VIII would diminish their authority. During the confrontation between the Young Avengers, Runaways, and the invading Skrulls, Xavin is forced to confront her former mentor, Commander Chrell, reluctantly killing him to save the Young Avengers and Runaways.[9]
"Dark Reign"[edit]
The 2009 Dark Reign: Young Avengers limited series written by Paul Cornell,[10][11] and Mark Brooks,[12] introduces a new group of powered teens calling themselves the Young Avengers.[13] They join forces with the genuine Young Avengers to battle Norman Osborn's Dark Avengers. The New Young Avengers consist of Enchantress, Executioner, Coat of Arms, Egghead, Big Zero and team leader Melter.
In the "Siege" storyline, following the attack of Asgard, Steve Rogers calls on the Young Avengers to aid in the help of Asgard against Norman Osborn's Dark Avengers and Initiative.[14][15] Stature and Vision aid Amadeus Cho and U.S. Agent in stopping the Thunderbolts from stealing Odin's spear for Norman Osborn. With Patriot and Hawkeye entombed under the ruins of Asgard, Speed anxiously ferries a number of wounded Asgardians to safety, looking for his teammates. Wiccan and Hulkling take on and defeat the Wrecking Crew, who were looting the ruins of the Throne Room. Wiccan strikes the villains down with lightning bolts, much to Hulkling's wonder and worry.[16]
Avengers: The Children's Crusade[edit]
The Young Avengers appear in the 2010–2012 miniseries, Avengers: The Children's Crusade, written by Allan Heinberg and illustrated by Jim Cheung.[17] In the series, Magneto learned that the Young Avengers were going to search for the still missing Scarlet Witch, and that Wiccan and Speed may be the reincarnations of Wanda's children. Magneto meets them, stating that he wants Wiccan and Speed to finally know him as their grandfather, and helps them find Wanda.[18][19]
The Avengers attempt to stop Magneto and fight him unsuccessfully, before Wiccan teleports Magneto and the Young Avengers to Wundagore Mountain. There they encounter Quicksilver, who attempts to kill his father. However, they discover that this Scarlet Witch is actually a Doombot in disguise,[20] prompting the Young Avengers and Magneto to journey to Latveria, with the Avengers, Quicksilver and Wonder Man following behind them.
Wiccan eventually finds the real Wanda, apparently devoid of her powers, amnesiac and engaged to be married to Doctor Doom. Wolverine tries to kill Wanda, but is prevented from doing so by the reappearance of Iron Lad.[21][22] Doom also states that Wanda is depowered.[23] Iron Lad and the Young Avengers escape with Wanda into the timestream and land in the past when the resurrected Jack of Hearts destroys the Avengers Mansion. The team escapes the explosion and involuntarily returns to the present due to Wanda, who has remembered everything. As an unexpected side effect, the life of Scott Lang is also saved.[24]
When the group returns to the present, Scarlet Witch is shown in a depression where she thinks that she killed her father, her brother, and the Avengers. She vows to kill herself with Kree ships and Ultron clones which Hawkeye and the Young Avengers destroy. During that time, Beast and Jessica Jones arrive, where Beast learns that the Scarlet Witch that he encountered was actually a Doombot. Wiccan tells her that her father, her brother, and "her sons" are still alive. Billy finally gets the happy Mother-and-Child Reunion that he had been dreaming of. Beast asks Wanda if she can reverse the "No more mutants" spell. She is unsure a reverse spell would work. They meet up with X-Factor Investigations, which has many clients who are depowered mutants. Rictor volunteers and has his powers restored. The X-Men show up and Wanda tells X-Factor Investigations that if the X-Men want more mutants then that's exactly what she will give them.[25]
However, a battle ensues between the X-Men and the Avengers over what to do with Wanda, forcing her and the Young Avengers to flee back to Doctor Doom. It is revealed that Wanda's enhanced powers were a result of her and Doom's combined attempt to channel the Life Force in order to resurrect her children, but it proved to be too much for Wanda to contain and overtook her. With Wiccan and Doom's help, they seek to use the entity possessing Wanda to restore mutantkind's powers but they are stopped by Patriot (who is concerned at the fall-out that would ensue if the powerless mutants are suddenly repowered), only to find out that the entity was transferred to Doom's body, giving him Wanda's god-like powers. His scars finally healed, he calls himself "Victor", discards his now useless mask, and promises to take care of everything.[26] Doom becomes omnipotent with powers surpassing those of beings as Beyonder or the Cosmic Cube; he offers to use these powers to fix the Avengers' and X-Men's problems and bring their deceased friends back to life, but both teams refuse the offer. The Young Avengers confront him, aided by the Avengers, the X-Men and X-Factor; Wanda and Wiccan manage to remove Doom's newfound powers, and he reveals that he was responsible for the Scarlet Witch's doings during the "Avengers Disassembled" and "House of M" events. During the confrontation Stature attacks Doom, who responde by blasting her with a wave of energy. After Wanda and Wiccan successfully remove the powers from Doom he escapes. The last panel of issue 8 ends with the heroes surrounding Stature's stricken form.[27]
Following the battle with Doom, Stature is revealed to have died from her injuries. Iron Lad offers to save Stature by taking her into the timestream. Vision objects to this, making Iron Lad enraged with him. Iron Lad attacks him, resulting in Vision's destruction. Iron Lad then prepared to jump into the timestream to go back and save Stature, with Wiccan warning him that this is the moment he becomes Kang the Conqueror, but Iron Lad is not deterred. With the battles over, all that was left was to determine the fate of the Scarlet Witch. Cyclops agrees to leave the Scarlet Witch alone, but states that he will kill Wanda if she turns against the heroes again. Rejecting the offer to rejoin the Avengers or her family, Wanda departs stating that after years of defining herself as Magneto's daughter, Pietro's sister, or the Vision's wife, she wants to find out who she is on her own before she decides what to do with her life. Later the Young Avengers decide to disband, much to the disapproval of Speed. Months pass by with the events of Spider-Island, Schism, and the Human Torch's revival having occurred and the Young Avengers taking no action. All this time Wiccan was in a depressive state. Hulkling tries to get him to talk to someone, but Wiccan refuses. Wiccan then believes Hulkling is breaking up with him, leading Hulkling to make an impromptu "proposal". They kiss, but are interrupted by Ms. Marvel and told to get into uniform and go to the mansion. The issue ends with the Young Avengers officially being recognized as full-fledged Avengers.[28]
Volume 2[edit]
A new Young Avengers series, written by Kieron Gillen and drawn by Jamie McKelvie, was launched in January 2013 as part of the Marvel NOW! rebranding campaign.[29] The new monthly series reintroduces existing Young Avengers, Wiccan, Hulkling and Hawkeye, as well as introducing Kid Loki, Marvel Boy and Miss America to the book's cast. The series' sixth issue included the reintroduction of former Young Avenger, Speed, and the addition of depowered mutant Prodigy to the group. Over the course of the series, Wiccan and Hulkling reaffirm their commitment to one another after Hulkling faces an existential crisis; Wiccan discovers that he will one day become the all-powerful Demiurge; Prodigy comes out as bisexual, and develops a crush on Hulkling; Kate and Noh-Varr become a couple, and then later break up after Noh-Varr realises he doesn't feel as strongly for Kate as he does for his ex, Oubliette; and Miss America is revealed to be from a paradise dimension created by the Demiurge (Wiccan). In the latter half of the series, Kid Loki believes he is engaged in a battle of wits with against his ex, Leah. However, he later uncovers that this 'Leah' is in fact a projection of his own guilty conscience, which wants to restore Loki to his true self. After tricking Wiccan into transforming him to a more mature form—that of a late teenager or young adult—he departs the group, choosing to do so before they can forgive him for manipulating and betraying them. Throughout the story, the group are also haunted by a powerful character dressed as Patriot, who captures Tommy. In the concluding issue of the series, Prodigy rightly surmises that this Patriot is a member of the team who has been transformed into a non-human in some future magical event, and is now echoing backwards along the timeline in order to ensure this future comes to pass. Guessing this person may well be himself, he kisses the Patriot, causing the Patriot to vanish and Tommy to reappear. Volume 2 came to an end with issue #15, as Gillen and McKelvie wrapped up their story and wanted to pursue other collaborations.
During the second superhero civil war, Kate is experiencing a lot of abuse due to the actions of Clint Barton and is supported by her fellow Young Avengers.

In 2019, Rio de Janeiro mayor Marcelo Crivella ordered Avengers: Children's' Crusade to be censored as various instances of homosexuality such as the relationship between Hulkling and Wiccan were displayed. Crivella said the content was "improper for children".[32] Writer Kieron Gillen was disappointed about the changes.[33] The organizers of the Bienal do Livro book fair, where the comic was being sold, repudiated the mayor's decision and decided not to remove the book from sales. In September 6, 2019, Avengers: Children's' Crusade sold out at the event.[34]
Other versions[edit]
What If?[edit]
In 2008, a story titled "What If the Runaways Became the Young Avengers?" ran as a back-up story through five What If? issues.[35] The feature illustrates what would have happened if Iron Lad never found out about the Avengers Fail-Safe Program. Instead, he recruits the Runaways, forcing them to be an actual superhero team with costumes. Although it is later revealed that the Iron Lad that brought them together was actually Victor Mancha—Iron Lad ran into Victor's future self when attempting to flee to the Avengers' era, with Victorious travelling back with him and using Victor to hi-jack his equipment—Kang's attempt to rescue his younger self results in Iron Lad being killed and Kang being erased from history while Victor destroys his future self and departs via Kang's time-belt to find his own way, leaving the Runaways to continue as Young Avengers with Chase now using parts of the Iron Lad armor. It was written by C.B. Cebulski, and drawn by Patrick "Spaz" Spaziante.[36]

President Barack Obama responded to criticism from former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney during Monday night's debate with a zinger that quickly reverberated across social media and became the most tweeted moment of the 90-minute faceoff.
During a dispute over military spending, Romney noted that "our Navy is smaller now than at any time since 1917" — a comment Obama mocked as out of touch.
"Well, Governor, we also have fewer horses and bayonets, because the nature of our military's changed," the president said. "We have these things called aircraft carriers, where planes land on them. We have these ships that go underwater, nuclear submarines."
U.S. & World
Within moments, the requisite Tumblr came alive, as did the parody Twitter accounts, including Obamas Bayonets.
It was the most tweeted moment of the debate, generating 105,767 tweets per minute, and the most searched term on Google.
As the meme continued to grow, BuzzFeed's Rebecca Berg was among the first to tweet confirmation that the U.S. Army still does use bayonets. That point was repeated in a new flood of tweets — many by users who identified themselves as military members — that sought to "fact check" Obama (who actually did not say that the military no longer used them) or cast his comment to an insult to American troops.[View the story "#HorsesAndBayonets" on Storify]

Daily Slice: Cauliflower and Gruyere Pizza at Grandaisy, NYC
A different slice profiled each day.
Grandaisy Bakery is a fine destination for thin squares of pizza; we recently enjoyed the Couolfiore ($3.25), cauliflower and Gruyere. While the crust isn't anything exciting, nor does it really detract from the overall effect—laid out on the nicely oily, crisp-edged base are cauliflower bits almost creamy in their tenderness, but browned on the top, soft and nutty-tasting at once. It's improved still further by the sparing sprinkles of Gruyere and the light crunch of breadcrumbs; cheesy, crunchy, and substantial, it's got a lot going on for such a small slice.

The global IC foundry sector is forecast to increase almost 9% in output value in 2014, while output value for the overall semiconductor industry will grow by a smaller 5.2%, according to Digitimes Research.
However, the anticipated rise in output value for the 2014 IC foundry industry shows a slowdown compared to growth of 15% in 2013 and 19.9% in 2012, said Digitimes Research.
TSMC is set to move its 20nm SoC process to mass production in 2014, while new capacity at its 12-inch fabs will come online, Digitimes Research indicated.
Rivals Globalfoundries and Samsung Electronics will also ramp up production of 20nm chips in the first half of 2014, Digitimes Research disclosed.
Meanwhile, Samsung Electronics' foundry capacity utilization rate is likely to fall in 2014, due to the loss of Apple orders, Digitimes Research said. Buoyed by orders of application processors from Apple and strong IC demand for smartphones and tablets, TSMC's share of the global IC foundry market is expected to reach 50.3% in 2014 from 48.4% in 2012, Digitimes Research noted.

The dish that changed the way I look at FOODLeave a comment
September 13, 2012 by seanbrock
a simple bowl of rice…………..
the older we get the more we understand about THINGS. its pretty simple if you really think about it. WISDOM is a crazy thing to try and wrap your head around. somehow it just happens, you can try and force it as much as you want but I believe wisdom only happens naturally.
this very well be my favorite dish that we have ever served at McCrady's and maybe my career. this dish is simple in appearance, but it tells an incredible story. Before we serve this dish we tell the diner about the importance of rice in Charleston during the rice era….which I believe was somewhere like 1700-1927….lots of speculation there of course….but regardless, the story is fascinating. it often helps people realize how a foodstuff can influence and help shape a culture. when you tell a story like this before a guest eats a dish their perspective changes completely…especially while sitting in an 18th century tavern in the middle of Charleston…..this is usually difficult to achieve….to truly have the full attention of the diner. but this dish is different….there is a connection between the room, the staff, the history, the city, the future and the diner….people love this kind of thing…i love this kind of thing…this dish is a journey thru the history of eating in Charleston.
the rice is served in the middle of our tasting menu….its always everyone's favorite course….it IS pretty damn delicious….its pretty amazing how you can taste care, how you can taste intention, how you can taste respect, how you can taste hard work, how you can taste sacrifice, how you can taste true happiness…and how you can taste wisdom and lessons learned…well, at least I think its amazing…food taste better to me when those words are rolling thru my mind…sometimes these moments happen in your life and they can seem more important than they really are……but this is what makes this journey so fulfilling I suppose…….you never know what the future holds….
what is your bowl of rice?

thanks to the vinegar man, ideas in food, nordic food lab, JJ and the momofuku lab we have a whole new outlook on the world of vinegar. this is turnip juice that is on its way to becoming vinegar. our goal is to have vinegar for every vegetable and fruit that we work with. We are well on our way with almost 60 different vinegars working between the two restaurants. I am really impatient, i wish things were different but they simply aren't. I taste these way too much during the vinegar making process. Sometimes being impatient pays off…..but only sometimes. I tasted this turnip juice about 4 days under the bubbler…it was so delicious. It tasted like biting into a turnip straight out of the ground. it almost tasted like prepared horseradish. it instantly brought a smile to my face and my mind started racing. we currently reheat some barely braised turnips in this juice a la minute. the results are mind bending. this is what we are striving for…..things in our pantry that can enhance the natural flavor of the product without getting in the way……cooking is so much fun.
oh yeah….don't throw away the pulp from the juicing process……add some salt and ferment that shit….its super tasty

I've been playing a lot with this idea lately. The ember/live fire combo. Its hard to explain how delicious this pork was. You really have to stick with it and keep the fire the correct temperature and the embers the correct temperature while rotating the meat by feel. I adore cooking this way. How can we do this during a busy service? its best right out of the fire.
