Finding your coat size is fairly easy. If you own a coat or suit jacket you should be able to find your size just by looking at the tag inside your coat. If you don't own one or have trouble finding your correct size, the best next option maybe going to your local tailor, tuxedo rental shop, or department store and ask to be measured. More often than not, they will give you all your measurements free of charge. However, if you would like to do it yourself all you need is a tape measure. If you don't have one at home, you can print out your own here.
When measuring for your chest size, make sure your arms at your sides, measure around your upper body, under your armpits and over the fullest part of your chest and shoulder blades. You should put a flat hand between your chest and the tape measure to ensure a comfortable fit. You don't want your jacket to be really tight.
This chart should be used as a general guide to our sizing. Although this chart is accurate forto most customers, we cannot guarantee it will work for everyone. These are proportionate sizes and lengths relative to height and weight, for the "average built" man and can be used as a reliable guide.

We are moving out of China, and selling our family Van. It is a navy blue Buick, with 8 seats which we purchased in October 2009. It is in excellent shape. It is automatic, and really spacious inside but it is easy to drive and park (drives like a car!) No one has ever smoked in the van and we have taken excellent care of it so it is in really good condition. Please contact me for photos, information, or to arrange a test drive. We are only selling it because we are leaving China--we have been super happy with it!

Ruby belongs to Corundum (aluminium oxide) family. This family includes several of world's most precious gemstones including ruby and sapphire. Ruby gemstone is the second hardest natural substance after Diamond with hardness of 9 on Moh's scale. Ruby occurs as tabular (flat), six sided crystals. Rubies come in a variety of colors ranging from purplish red to orangey red. However deep red color with a hint of blue is the most desirable and hence expensive ruby. This expensive ruby is called "pigeon's blood". Ruby owes its magnificent red color to the presence of chromium oxide. If the oxidation valency of the chromium alters, the orange-tinted shades appear. Other nuances of red, such as brownish-red or violet, can be related to traces of iron and vanadium (higher iron causes a brownish ting, while the vanadium content causes the blue tint). Ruby gemstone gets its name from Rubeus, Latin for red.
1) Edward ruby (167ct) in the British Museum of Natural History in London 2) the Reeves ruby (138.7 ct) in the Smithsonian Institution in Washington 3) the Long Star ruby (100ct) in the American Museum of Natural History 4) the Peace ruby (43ct), thus called because it was found in 1919 at the end of World War I.
The earliest records for the mining of rubies go back over 3500 years in Myanmar and over 2500 years in Sri Lanka. The ancient Hindus considered rubies to be "Ratnaraj" or the "king of precious stones". Thirteenth- century medical literature from India claims that rubies could cure digestive disorders. Burmese warriors rubies under their skin to protect them in battle.
Why ruby is a rare gemstone?
Ruby gemstone is rare because the chance of formation of ruby is very uncommon. Ruby owes its fascinating pigeon red color to the presence chromium in its structure. Chromium is rarely found in the upper regions of the Earth's crust. In other words, when ruby was formed, the very uncommon chance must have happened that chromium oxide, which usually exist in great depths in the earth, was present at exactly the right time when the alumina was crystallizing.
deep red gemstones mainly come from Mogok, Myanmar, and Thailand; while the pinker gemstones usually come from Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, and Vietnam. You can find our interactive map for gemstone of the world Here.
Gem-quality Ruby is very rare in their natural conditions and wide range of mined rubies has inclusions. However these inclusions are not indicative of lower quality, but show the difference between natural and synthetic gemstone. There are several methods to enhance rubies 1) routinely heat treatment of the gemstone is needed to improve its appearance. Most of the natural rubies are found with "silk" inclusions, heat treatment is used to melt these silk inclusions to improve the clarity of the gemstone. Heat treatment also gives the gemstone deeper red color. Heat treatments are considered as extremely stable, 2) fracture filling is a common practice that reduces the visibility of flaws by making the fracture non-reflective, 3) Ruby is commonly diffusion treated in the presence of berylium, this means low quality rubies are heated over prolonged period of time in presence of berylium to enhance the color of the gemstone.
Ruby has been used for centuries in jewellery industry due to its magnificent red color. Due to its magnificent, intense red color, ruby is one of the most expensive gemstone in jewellery industry. As it is a hard gemstone it can be used in all kinds of jewelry including rings, earrings, and necklaces. Jewelers often mix ruby with diamond and emerald to create stunning jewellery. For a very comprehensive guide, you can find all you need to know for buying ruby jewelry here.
Rubies are both a hard and durable and can be cleaned using an ultrasonic cleaning machine, any commercial jewelry cleaner or mild soap and lukewarm water using a soft brush. Rubies with a glass-like residue in surface-reaching fractures should not be cleaned with an ultrasonic or steam machine. Be sure to rinse and dry your jewelry thoroughly after cleaning.
Perfectly flawless rubies are very rare to find. They almost always contain foreign microcrystals. These have either originated from the surrounding matrix, or have grown along with ruby, or have subsequently crystallized out as so-called rutile needles. These rutile needles can forn a fine network, called "silk". Other inclusions are streamers of fluid droplets, which in their delicate, weblike arrangement resemble dragon-fly wings. Inclusions serve as undesirable proofs of origin, this means observing these inclusions can help to distinguish earthborn rubies from the synthetic (man-made) rubies.

Branch Warren: 'I Never Should Have Beaten' Phil Heath And Kai Greene
Branch Warren Looks Back At What Made Him So Special During His Career
Last Updated onSeptember 24, 2020
Branch Warren Interview - Image via @thebranchwarren Instagram
For more than 20 years, Branch Warren overcame the odds and proved all the doubters wrong. Now he is able to look back on his career, and figure out what made him so different than everybody else.
Over the course of his career, Warren spent a lot of time fighting an uphill battle. He was not the most genetically gifted bodybuilder, but was able to push past these disadvantages in order to build a great physique, win some big contests, and beat some worthy adversaries along the way. This led him to a peak in his career from 2009-2011, where he finished in the top three at two consecutive Olympias, and win two back-to-back Arnold Classics. Not to mention the fact that, in the process of doing so, he beat some big names.
A post shared by Branch Warren (@thebranchwarren)
Although it has been five years since the last time Branch Warren competed, people still look back fondly on his career and his ability to overcome his genetic limitations. However, as he explained on a recent podcast with Hany Rambod, he did something that other bodybuilders didn't. Knowing that he was not as gifted as the likes of Phil Heath or Kai Greene, he worked harder than anybody to win his championships.
"I don't think it would be a hard compliment to say I was the hardest worker in the room," Warren explained. "I think at the end of the day, that says something about you as a person, a man, and your character. I beat guys that I never should have beaten. I beat Phil Heath, I beat Kai, I beat these guys that are just amazing bodybuilders. I'll be honest with you, I should never have beaten them. The reason why I beat them? I wanted it more than they did. Bottom line, that's why I beat them. I beat these guys, Dennis Wolf and people like this. Genetically they were superior.
"I just learned at an early age," he continued. "I looked back, and I looked at my physique and I assessed myself. Do I have what Kai Greene has? No, I have a totally different physique. I have a different body, but I knew I could put a lot of muscle on my body and I knew that I could get really hard. Bodybuilding is about getting big and hard, right?
"I had good enough genetics, and knew I could put on a ton of muscle and get super hard," Warren said. "I knew early on, if you outwork everybody eventually you'll beat them. I learned that as a teenager. These guys I competed against, they had great genetics, some of them. But I trained harder than they did, I dieted harder than they did, I did my cardio harder than they did. Guess what? I beat them. So I learned that early on, that if you're the hardest worker in the room, and you can outwork all your contemporaries, and you can outwork everyone on stage, they might get you in the beginning but down the road you'll catch them and pass them, and they'll never catch you."
These are some inspiring words from a legend like Branch Warren. He backed this up through his whole career, and proved doubters wrong time and time again, just by working harder than everyone else. This is what defined his career, and it is something that he continues to teach to this day.

Wesenberg wins first U.S. skeleton World Cup medal in two years
By Rachel ThompsonFeb 15, 2019, 1:37 PM EST
With a bronze medal in Lake Placid earlier today, Kendall Wesenberg became the first American to reach the World Cup podium in skeleton in two years.
Wesenberg, who finished 17th at her first Olympics in PyeongChang, had a combined time of 1:51.10 in Lake Placid. Prior to today, her last podium finish at the World Cup was in St. Moritz in January 2017.
"This has never been my strongest track, so we really broke it down piece by piece, and I think it paid off," Wesenberg said, according to USA Bobsled and Skeleton. "The second run, I kind of tried to throw it away at the top there. By the time I made it to corner 10, I was just thinking 'build speed, build speed."
Wesenberg, 28, grew up in California's Central Valley, but her interest in sliding sports piqued while watching the 2010 Vancouver Games. When the commentators discussed the athletic backgrounds of the athletes, Wesenberg realized she played some of the same sports growing up. A quick Google search brought her to the USA Bobsled and Skeleton page. She told her siblings she was thinking of trying skeleton. They said she'd never do it. Challenge accepted.
Wesenberg emailed a U.S. coach and signed up for a combine and driving training in January 2011. Seven years later, she was sliding on Olympic ice.
Sliding coverage continues today on Olympic Channel: Home of Team USA, with women's bobsled live at 3:15 p.m. ET and men's bobsled live at 4:15.

French Crackdown on 'Racist Soup'
BBC News, Jan. 25, 2006
Charity groups with far-right links serving pork soup to homeless people face a crackdown by French officials.
Protesters have accused the groups of deliberate discrimination against Jews and Muslims, who do not eat the meat.
Strasbourg officials have banned the hand-outs and police in Paris have closed soup kitchens in an effort to avert racial tension.
The charities have defended offering what they call traditional cuisine to French and European homeless people.
The groups, operating in cities across France and neighbouring Belgium, are not formally linked but are associated with a small far-right organisation called Bloc Identitaire.
'Racial tensions'
Identity Soup, as it has been dubbed by its chefs, was banned in Strasbourg this month after officials ruled it could lead to public disorder.
"Schemes with racial subtexts must be denounced," Strasbourg's mayor Fabienne Keller said.
Although no ban exists in Paris, police have closed soup kitchens in the capital's Montparnasse and Gare de l'Est train stations on administrative grounds.
Volunteers were ordered to re-seal soup containers on the basis they did not have the necessary permits to distribute food.
A leading French anti-racism movement has urged Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy to ban pork soup give-aways throughout the country.
Bernadette Hatier, vice president of the Movement Against Racism and for Friendship Between Peoples, said the scheme was a ploy to drum up far-right votes ahead of 2007 presidential elections.
'Nothing illegal'
Many local authorities have said they are powerless to intervene as the groups are not breaking the law.
National Front spokesman Bruno Gollinisch said that people had the right to be charitable to whomever they want.
He described moves to ban the pork soup kitchens as "revelatory of authorities' alienation from the French people".
Dominique Lescure, head of the Nice-based group Soulidarieta, said pork was a traditional part of French cuisine.
But he admitted wanting to serve the soup to what he called his "compatriots and European homeless people".
France's Muslim population is the largest in western Europe and is estimated at five million.
Far-right groups in France are distributing ham sandwiches and pork soup to homeless people in an attempt to discriminate against Muslims and Jews, forbidden to eat pork products.
Food hand-outs, which have already taken place in Paris, Nice and Nantes, and in Brussels and Charleroi in Belgium, have now spread to the eastern French city of Strasboug.
At the weekend, Strasbourg's prefect banned the extreme right association Solidarité Alsacienne from distributing its soupe au cochon (pig soup) to poor and homeless people in the city centre.
On Saturday, police intervened to close the soup kitchen after Solidarité Alsacienne defied the ban and began distributing food in one of Strasbourg's main squares.
Chantal Spieler, Solidarité Alsacienne's president, was escorted to police headquarters and given a formal warning before being joined by her husband, Robert Spieler, a former MP for Jean-Marie Le Pen's far-right National Front party.
Mr Spieler denounced "a totalitarian regime" where soon "they'll be banning salami".
He said: "Pork is a European symbol, whether we like it or not. The day when there are laws forbidding the distribution of pork in Alsace I believe there will be a lot of us who will leave France and take refuge in a country where there is still a certain culinary freedom." His wife said she would appeal against the prefect's decision.
"Pork is part of our culinary culture and we are offering the soup to everyone, so there is nothing discriminatory about it," she said.
However, few accept Solidarité Alsacienne's protests that it is a victim of the infringement of civil liberties. The association is close to Le Bloc Identitaire, an extreme-right umbrella group led by Fabrice Robert, a former leader of Unité Radicale, a neo-Nazi cell which broke up in 2002 after one its members attempted to assassinate the president, Jacques Chirac.
Soulidarieta, an extreme-right group based in Nice, which is also a Bloc Identitaire member, provoked outrage over Christmas when it began distributing soup made with pork once a week to homeless and poor people in the south-eastern city's port area.
Its operation drew as many protesters as homeless people. They accused the group of blatant discrimination by offering pork soup only, deliberately to exclude poor Muslims.
With protesters denouncing the practice as racist, the local town hall and the prefect's office in Nice claimed they were powerless to intervene as the group had done nothing illegal.
The group's head, Dominique Lescure, said pork was a traditional part of French cuisine. He did admit, however, wanting to serve the soup to his "compatriots and European homeless people".
The philosophy behind Soulidarieta, which means solidarity in the local dialect, is made clear in the association's literature, in which it claims: "Our people face being submerged by a rising black demographic tide," and announces "the launch of a voluntary social and political action in favour of our most deprived blood brothers".
The group's slogans call for "solidarity with our European brothers", and "Our own kind first before others".
Pierre Levy of the Council Representing Jewish Institutions in France, who attended the first distribution of pork soup last month, denounced Bloc Identitaire's operations as "using human misery to establish ethnic separation".

The Auburn Superior Court Historic Courthouse has been the pride of Placer County, California, since its construction in the 1890s. It once served as the seat of county government, but county administrative offices are now housed elsewhere and the courthouse itself is just one of five judicial locations. A loved one can find a good Auburn bail bonds company by asking at the superior court.
Located in Auburn, the county seat, the majestic structure, located at 101 Maple St., is a community landmark and, as such, it is an appropriate location for the Placer County Historical Museum, which occupies the building's first floor.
The three-story courthouse, built in the Classic Revival style, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. According to the Auburn Chamber of Commerce, it is one of just a handful of courthouses in northern and central California that have retained their architectural ornamentation and magnificent domes.
The Auburn Court itself replaced an old wooden courthouse that was built at the same site. Dedication of the new courthouse took place in 1898. Almost a century later, a major restoration project, begun in 1986 and completed in 1990, was the focus of another community celebration. A large parade was held, and court personnel and community representatives dressed in the same attire worn for the structure's 1898 opening.
A shortage of space resulted in Placer County's opening of the Santucci Justice Center in Roseville in 2008. Judicial functions are also carried out at courtrooms at or near the county jail and juvenile detention center in Auburn and at the Tahoe courtroom in Tahoe City. The additional facilities are reflective of a dramatic increase in Pacer County's population. The county encompasses a geographical area from near Sacramento to the Lake Tahoe region near California's border with Nevada. It is now home to approximately 360,000 people.
Cases for departments one through six of the judicial system are heard at the historic courthouse. This generally includes juvenile dependency cases and family law trials.
The court clerk's office, staffed on a part-time basis, is located on the second floor. Court documents may be filed there from 8:30 a.m. to noon Monday through Friday. A drop box is located near the clerk's office door for placement of documents at other times. The building is open until 4 p.m.
The judicial system provides no capability at the Auburn courthouse for lawyers, parties to pending cases and the general public to access court documents. Documents can be reviewed at the main judicial center in Roseville.
On arrival at Superior Court Historic Courthouse, visitors are subject to routine security inspections which generally take no longer than five to ten minutes. There is parking available at the courthouse for both court business and visitors to the museum. In addition, there are some available free parking spaces on adjacent streets. This free parking allows for visits of a maximum of three hours.
The Placer County Historical Museum features artifacts of Native American history and exhibits and history of the region's gold-mining days, photographs significant to the county's history and a historical research center. The museum occupies space that once served vital functions of county government, including what were formerly the offices of the county treasurer, county sheriff and the clerk of courts. The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday, excluding holidays, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is free.


As I write this, it's super early on Monday morning in my part of the world. And this morning, I've already spoken to three different customers suffering major service disruptions in their IT applications - one can't process incoming orders, one can't ship product, and another one can't do either (among other things). The only things still running - their cloud applications.
This raises a pretty good point for those of you out there plugging along with your on-premise applications - cloud applications provide a level of stability that just can't be matched on-prem.
If I'm a cloud services provider, reliability is a key component of my business. I'll invest as much as necessary because it's a core part of my business. Most end users have an entirely different business model - IT in most enterprises is a cost center rather than a profit center. So, ideally, the idea is to keep the IT investment to a minimum. And, in each case, you get what you pay for.
It really comes down to an idea we often hear in the enterprise applications world: put your IT services in the hands of the best IT stack and team available. And the best IT available to most enterprises? From a cloud services provider.

Community - Clover
Clover is a charming town in South Carolina not far from Gastonia, Rock Hill and Charlotte. The town boasts convenient access to attractions, amenities and employment, while still maintaining its desirable small-town feel.
Clover real estate includes an array of housing options ranging in style, size and price point. Clover has both established neighborhoods surrounded by mature landscaping and new construction developments with brand-new properties. Homes in Clover are primarily constructed in traditional and Colonial styles.
With a population just over 5,000, Clover is a small town located in northwestern York County. Occupying approximately 4.75 square miles of land, Clover combines small town living with access to big-city attractions, such as shopping, dining and entertainment. Residents enjoy a reasonable distance from Gastonia, Rock Hill and Charlotte, which are approximately 12, 20 and 30 miles away, respectively. This ideal location provides a diverse job market and has helped the small town of Clover grow as a residential area over the years. Major employers in Clover include Performance Friction, Honeywell and the Clover School District.
The majority of businesses, restaurants and shops are located along Clover's Main Street, which runs through the center of town. Residents may access a number of renowned recreational areas within the region, as the town is situated directly between Lake Wylie to the east and Kings Mountain National Park to the west. Clover is an exceptional place to visit and call home. The town is positioned to continue to experience growth and exciting developments in the future, while still maintaining its small-town feel.
Clover is served by the Clover School District, which is an award-winning school district. It operates seven elementary schools, two middle schools and two high schools. Several colleges and universities are in the backyard including Clinton College, the University of South Carolina, Upstate, Wintrhop Univeristy, and York Technical College. Additionally, residents may easily access the many institutions in Charlotte, including the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, Queens University, Johnson & Wales University, and more.
The village of Clover was originally a railway stop connecting Yorkville and what is now known as Gastonia in 1876. The town grew around the site of a 5,000-gallon water tank built to serve the steam engines of the Chester and Lenoir Narrow Gauge Railroad. According to local legend, patches of clover began to sprout up where excess water spilled out of the water tank. Railroad workers thus started referring to the town as "Clover Patch." The town was officially chartered on December 24, 1887, and quickly became a booming textile community. The textile industry continues to play a large role in the community's economy, and Clover has seen steady growth, reaching a population of 5,094 in 2010.

The Best Restaurants in Vancouver
Find the best meals in Vancouver (and how to make them at home)
By Story byNeal McLennan January 01, 2011
Credit: Photo: Jose Mandjana
It's been a year since the 2010 Winter Olympics, and Vancouver's dining scene looks a lot different from the one predicted before the festivities began. Flashy pre-game restaurant openings such as Jean-Georges Vongerichten's Market and Daniel Boulud's DB Bistro Moderne (Gordon Ramsay was also spied scouting locations) were expected to usher in a new era of celebrity-chef, high-end dining.
But, a year later, these high-profile rooms have struggled to capture the city's fancy (recently spotted at DB Bistro: the dreaded jazz trio). Instead, Vancouver's dining scene clung to its easygoing roots: West Coast casual with Canadian manners—even the French waiters are polite to a fault here. This slavish devotion to all things local persists (Vancouver was, after all, the birthplace of The 100-Mile Diet). The corporate-catering-giant-Sysco truck is a four-wheel pariah, and if you ask for bottled water from Italy, expect a raised eyebrow as your server mentally calculates your carbon footprint.

Thanks to the Vancouver Aquarium's pioneering Ocean Wise program, the Ark of the Covenant is easier to find than a menu containing the severly overfished Chilean sea bass. But any suggestion that such strictures lead to no fun is dispelled by places like Cafeteria. It's the newest offering from Andrey Durbach and Chris Stewart, whose other two restaurants—the elevated neighborhood trattoria La Buca and the homage to the simple brasserie Pied à Terre—have honed the pitch-perfect small room with simple food made with fresh local fare from an ever-changing menu.
"Im hesistant to call it a formula," says Durbach. "It's just the confluence of informed service, high-quality ingredients, and good cooking."
Durbach and Stewart set up their new venture in hipster central's South Main Street strip. Here, you're just as likely to dine beside a bike courier as a bond trader. The daily menu—presented with missing letters ("We ran out of vowels," explains the server) on a grade-school letterboard—channels the retro vibe of your high-school cafeteria, if your high school served venison flank steak with wild mushrooms culled from nearby mountain slopes or thinly sliced Vancouver Island scallop sashimi with sesame oil and avocado.
Strict government regulations mean many trends that sweep other cities can't germinate here. Food carts serving anything other than hot dogs? None, until just last August—hyperattentive health inspectors need to guarantee safety, of course. Even beachside stands are largely absent, with one glorious exception: Go Fish (604-730-5040), a great take-out shack near Granville Island that attracts long lines even during the rain-soaked months.
Owner and former punk singer Gord Martin offers unfussy fare like wild salmon tacones—the fish travels no more than a few hundred feet from the nearby fisherman's dock—drizzled with a light chipotle crema. It comes with a crunchy, mayo-free Pacific Rim slaw, with ingredients—mostly ginger, red and green cabbage, and rice wine vinegar—sourced from the Granville Island public market, mere blocks away.
While it's rare to find a Vancouver restaurant that doesn't have local salmon on the menu, when it comes to true seafood restaurants here diners prefer their fish raw: The city has an estimated 300-plus sushi restaurants, and locals allegedly eat more per capita than the Japanese.
Local luminary Hidekazu Tojo reigns supreme with Tojo's, which is routinely mentioned as among the best in the world. Omakase, which translates loosely into "open your wallet and put yourself in the master's hands," is the way to go here. What could prove risky in the hands of lesser chefs turns sublime here, as Tojo dreams up innovative, if elusive creations like Canadian sablefish (aka black cod) with Tojo's "secret" marinade. Secrets are the stock in trade here: Several offerings on the menu, like the BC smoked salmon salad, are listed with "secret" or "special" dressings, leaving you to either do some tasteful sleuthing or futilely beg your server for hints. A simple "you'll love it" is the most common response, and it's almost always true.
The Asian influence continues just a few blocks north, where Chef Angus An remade his high-end spot, Gastropod, into the sleek and modern Maenam, giving the city its first great Thai restaurant. The wonder isn't that An was so successful in reinventing the room, but why, as a chef who apprenticed at David Thompson's legendary Nahm restaurant in London, he didn't start with Thai cuisine in the first place. He takes a cuisine that is often good but rarely great in North American restaurants to a new level via simple preperations and ultrafresh ingredients. A small Cornish game hen is charcoal grilled and served with a densely flavored hot-and-sour tamarind sauce. Steamed Heriot Bay swimmer scallops are served in an airy coconut-influenced salad that would likely float away if it ever stayed on a plate long enough.
Ironically, until recently, one of the few places that didn't have any standout Asian fare was the city's expansive Chinatown. The area serves as a mecca for tourists who make do with marginal cart-service dim sum because the city's huge Chinese population (20% in the last census) has largely settled in the neighboring suburb of Richmond to live and eat. They've transformed a former bastion of proper English living into a collection of foodie-heaven strip malls, heavy with Cantonese script and unrecognizable brands that appear to havje been transported from Guangzhou lock, stock, and barrel. For the adventurous, the food courts here (try Yaohan Centre for superauthentic, Aberdeen Centre for more refinement) offer the closest thing to southern Chinese street food in North America. It's a culinary day ticket to the overwhelming excitement of mainland China for less than $10, all a short SkyTrain ride away.
But Richmond's growth sapped the historic Chinatown of its culinary raison d'etre. That changed last year when Tannis Ling opened Bao Bei, a Chinese brasserie that channels the glamour of 1930s Shanghai into a long, thin room adorned with museum-sized youthful portraits of Ling's parents. The menu is heavy on modern interpretations of classics—the mantou may seem like a regular steamed bun, but the filling of braised beef short-ribs, pickled cucumber, and roasted peanuts is decidedly new. Other dishes strike out in bold new directions, such as Chinese plum panna cotta with a confit of cherry tomatoes and peanut pralines, which is listed under desserts but may need a new category invented to properly place it. Despite Bao Bei's uniqueness, it has adopted that one trait so common amongst Vancouver eateries: no reservations—so arrive early.
BREAKFAST AT MEDINA
It wasn't that long ago that breakfast in Vancouver was a choice between a cheap greasy spoon or an elaborate overpriced hotel buffet. Now we have Medina, a Belgian breakfast spot—a seemingly odd choice give that when Chef Nico Schuermans moved to town, he likely doubled the existing Belgian population. An offshoot of its wildly popular next-door neighbor Chambar, Medina started out its life selling just Belgian waffles with a variety of sauces, but popular demand has led them to expand into the most creative breakfast menu in the city. Early-morning versions of egg-and-baked bean cassoulet and tagine with poached eggs and spicy tomato stew join the ever-present waffles (topped with fig-orange marmalade or maple syrup, if you so desire).
Go there: Medina
Make it at home: Libanais Breakfast
LUNCH AT REFUEL
Even as Chef Robert Belcham was being honored as Vancouver Magazine's Chef of the Year in 2009, he knew the type of food he was cooking at his high-end eatery, Fuel, had little or no future in Vancouver. "True fine dining is dead," was his oft-rereated quote. So he rebranded the restaurant refuel, brought the menu back to locally sourced basics, and hasn't looked back. Ingredients like watercress and English peas share space with seared hanger steak and the city's best buttermilk fried chicken.
Go there: refuel
Make it at home: Crispy Chickpea Salad with Grilled Prawns
DINNER AT VIJ'S
If there's one iconic moment in Vancouver's dining, it's the nightly lineup at the no-reservations temple of modern Indian cuisine that is Vij's. It doesn't matter if you're Robert Pattinson, the Prime Minister of Canada, or the New York Times' Sam Sifton, proprietor Vikram Vij is graciously inflexible about his no-reservations rule. So everyone waits out front when it's sunny, or in the back bar for the other nine months of the year. A band of brothers-like camaraderie develops among the excited diners waiting to hear their names called. The reward for such patience? Vij's pairing of his classical Indian training with nontraditional ingredients like pork tenderloin and beef short ribs to create Indian food like none you've tried before. His lamb "popsicles"—actually wine-marinated frenched lamb chops in a fenugreek curry sauce—may be Vancouver's signature dish.
Go there: Vij's
Make it at home: Yogurt-Marinated Chicken with Beet Salad


Of the things that go "Kraaaak" in the night. What could it be?
Hello everyone! Having a good weekend so far? It's very late and I need to be at work very early, so I'll likely come back and edit this later in the day with a bit of news; I forgot to type it in advance!
I totally would have been miles away from that inn by now.
First of all… HOLY CRAP. Accel is ripped!
Why's everyone stunned that Ace, I'm just gonna call him that for short, is ripped? And i agree with Gooman, the B DAMMMDD was a good touch.
Probably 'cause he usually has lumpy clothing and isn't all that imposing a figure.
I am presently surprised, but still angry at him 'cause he seems so uncaring of Faye and didn't even ask her opinion on things. She has paper, she could've answered!
Sigh, what else could it be?
Somebody left their window open.
It's amazing how his hair is already perfectly styled for the day.

Parliament wants role in Iraqi oil deals
The new chairman of the Parliament Oil and Energy Committee said all of Baghdad's contracts – past and future – should be reviewed, perhaps altered.

By Ben Lando of Iraq Oil Report
Published Tuesday, April 12th, 2011
Iraq's Parliament is attempting to claim some authority over the country's oil sector – showing a willingness to challenge Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's administration, which has sought to centralize control of Iraq's energy policy within the executive branch.
Adnan Janabi, the new chairman the Oil and Energy Committee of Parliament, said standing law requires oil and gas contracts to be approved by Parliament, including deals already awarded in the licensing rounds and a draft joint venture with Royal Dutch Shell to capture natural gas.

Sound City - The L.A. Concert
Dave Grohl ("rhymes with Rock and Roll!") is great. He and his Sound City Players brought his new documentary Sound City to real life last night with a concert featuring many of the legends depicted in the story of the recording studio in the Valley that was so crucial to creating some of the most epic albums of all time. Fleetwood Mac's Rumors. Nirvana's Nevermind. Rage Against The Machine's Rage Against The Machine. Tom Petty's Wildflowers. Foreigner's Double Vision ... and the list goes on.
Grohl bought the sound board from Sound City, and made a movie about all the historical music made on it. Then threw a big bash of a show at The Palladium in Hollywood, that has rendered me physically sore today from all the rocking. That's because not only did Grohl and his Foos (Pat Smear, Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel) play, but so did Alain Johannes (Eleven/Queens of The Stone Age). Chris Goss (Masters Of Reality/Desert Sessions). Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. Lee Ving (Fear). Rick Nielson (Cheap Trick!) Rick Springfield. John Fogerty. Aaaaaand ... Stevie Nicks!!! I mean it. Insane.
That's not even talking about the guest stars ... like um ... Krist Novoselic. Brad Wilk ("smooth as silk!" - D. Grohl), Corey Taylor. Rami Jaffee. And my friend, Jessy Greene, who plays her violin and sings in both the documentary and the soundtrack album, and was a most welcome female presence on last night's stage. RULING. The whole night was a thrill to behold, and the jam-packed Palladium let the artists know it, screaming their lungs out the entire time.
The whole thing took a while to get started, which let us bump into friends, grab a drink/s, catch up, all of it creating a party atmosphere, and the celebration of music that I believe Grohl intended it to. The People were REAL ready when the lights went out and the screen began playing the great clips from the film. Even MORE ready when they saw their boy, Dave, who yelled out, "What's UP?!" And the crowd went wild, as they say.
The Alain Johannes set was first, and he's just great. I've loved everything I've ever heard out of the guy, and he and his backing band (led by Grohl - who played with everyone, the whole night) got the gig off to a great start. Did I mention Jessy was ruling? She was also ROCKING.
"We're gonna be here a long fucking time!," yelled Grohl to bring on the Chris Goss set. He was not wrong, but everyone in there wouldn't have minded if it was STILL going. It was a super hyper crowd, and Dave would just yell "HEY!" and the whole of the room would scream back extra loud "HEEEEEY!" It was a good old fashioned ROCK show, Man.
Clips from the film played in between sets, and every time a familiar tune or face came on the screen, shouts went up. A Rage intro would play, or Paul McCartney would speak on camera, and the crowd would scream, because on nights like this, in Los Angeles ... anything can happen.
I'm not gonna lie to you ... in a show night this long ... there are sometimes breaks. We took some. I missed a couple of notes here and there, but I told you, it was also a party. Black Rebel Motorcycle really made it feel like one in their set, with songs like their rad, "Whatever Happened To My Rock N' Roll?" Though the question was moot here, because the Rock was right in your face. And ears. And Heart and Soul ... which was the point of this show, that studio, and really, what music is all about. FEELING it.
Which the place certainly was for Lee Ving's punk rock throwdown scorcher set. I felt rowdy, and looking down at the sardine-packed floor, I was not alone. GOOD times. Followed by even better times when it was Rick Nielson's turn. Joined by 2/3 of Nirvana, as Krist Novoselic came out for this one. The crowd was bezerk all night, and sang along on every note of "Surrender". Killer.
People pretty much sang along on every note from thereon out, since it was the music we all grew up on or came of age to. Rick Springfield! Joyously belting out his 80's jams like "I've Done Everything For You" and "Jessie's Girl' - !!! Come one now. It was so very fun in there, let me tell you.
Then John Fogerty came out. He gave a little speech in his charming drawl, saying, "It's not about the technology in music. It's about the People". As we must all know, because that got about as big a cheer as all the classics he laid on us after that. "Playing In A Travelin' Band". "Born On A Bayou". "Bad Moon Rising". "Centerfield". "Fortunate Son". By the time he hit "Proud Mary" ... it was a madhouse of smiling MUSIC fans, singing throatily along to their memories.
But nowhere was that more true than when Stevie Nicks came out. More than one person was seen crying.
Tears ran down faces as some got to see this legendary gypsy woman for their first time, and belted along the words to their youth from those Fleetwood Mac songs that seem like they've always been on in the background somewhere ... "Stop Dragging My Heart Around" showed that Nicks is as strong a voice as she ever has been, and was joined sweetly and with obvious respect by Grohl and Company (including Jessy, playing with Stevie Nicks!!!).
Nicks told a story of how a year and a half ago she lost her Godson at 18 years old to an o.d. at a frat party. She said that they had all done a lot back in the day, but "We never danced with the Devil. This little boy did." Nicks wrote a poem about it, and when Grohl wanted to record a new song with her, she said, "It's dark. Do you want to go there with me, Dave?" and he replied, "I'm going there with you, Babe." Everyone clapped and whistled their support, and they launched into the dark, yes, but impossibly lovely and haunting, "You Can't Fix This".
I told you there was crying. That didn't stop when next came "Dreams". Then "Landslide" (featuring Rami Jaffee's accordion that got its own cheer)! People were dying. While singing all along.
(Even though they tended to watch it through their cameras instead of their own eyes - in the moment. Sigh).
There was a dramatic intro and then everyone came on to play "Gold Dust Woman", capping the night off with that magic kind of dust that settles over shows that everyone there loved and will talk about for ages. Because it was Heart and Soul, Rock and Roll, shared between everyone.
"GOD BLESS SOUND CITY!!" yelled Grohl, and the long, fun ass night was over. We were ALL blessed.
Rock and Roll!

Hip-Hop Style
From Gangster To Hipster: The Evolution Of Hip-Hop Style
Sowmya Krishnamurthy
B-boying flourished also in NYC during this time, and its aesthetic significantly affected hip-hop style. Sneakers, tracksuits and sweatbands served both function and form for dancers, and rappers often blended the aforementioned accoutrements with these pieces. In a watershed moment in 1983, rap trio Run-D.M.C. took their unique B-boy look to the masses by famously wearing their Adidas Superstar shell toe sneakers without the traditional laces.
Peter Sim, the brand strategist of NiceKicks.com, the most-read site for sneaker news, says, "Run-D.M.C. was one of the first groups to bring B-boy culture to the mainstream and thereby made brands like Adidas more aware of the power of hip-hop." This eventually led to the two forging the first endorsement deal between rappers and a major corporation, and a Run-D.M.C. clothing line from Adidas was subsequently released. "The Superstar is one of the most iconic sneakers in hip-hop and B-boy culture. The two are literally synonymous now," adds Sim.
"It's Tricky" (1987) by Run-D.M.C.
Loud & Proud: Late '80s To Early '90s
Male Identity: Afrocentrism swept the culture, and men reimagined themselves as modern-day kings. Concurrently, in response to societal malaise regarding law enforcement and gang culture, some assumed a more intimidating image.
As the people became more socially conscious in the late '80s and early '90s, so did music and clothing. Social awareness and Black nationalism gained immense popularity and ushered in all things Afrocentric: Kente cloth fabrics, kufi caps and chains in the shape of Africa. Fiercely political artists like Public Enemy wore the colors of the Black nationalism movement (black, green and red). There was a palpable defiance against authority, especially the police, as law enforcement was perceived as corrupt and unfair toward black men. Songs of the time, like N.W.A.'s "F*ck tha Police" and Ice-T's "Cop Killer," were infused with frustrations with police brutality, racial profiling and a biased justice system, and the rappers' images showcased this societal resentment. N.W.A., for instance, created an aura of intimidation against the establishment by wearing all black.
The style also had roots in gang culture, especially in the West Coast. Gang-related colors, plaid and flannel shirts, white "wifebeater" tees, low-hanging Dickies pants, creased denim, and Chuck Taylors became staples for West Coast rappers and often represented deeper street ties. As Tupac Shakur rapped in "To Live and Die in L.A." ("Better learn about the dress code/B's and C's/
All them other ni**as copycats/These is G's"), one's colors made a powerful statement of gang allegiance, and the wrong colors could have serious, often violent ramifications from opposing factions.
Variations of this aesthetic are still visible in rappers today like Snoop Dogg and The Game, albeit in a modified form. The latter — whose nickname is incidentally Chuck Taylor — raps on his duet with Wiz Khalifa, "Taylor Made": "I'm Chuck Taylor, mayne/We both known in our hoods like Chuck Taylors, mayne."
"U Can't Touch This" (1990) by MC Hammer. Oh, those pants.
It should be noted that not all rappers were attempting to send a larger message and, therefore, many deviated with lighter fare. Oversize clothing, MC Hammer-inspired parachute pants, colorful neons, and the (thankfully) short-lived trends of polka dots and backward clothing gained popularity.

Lasers emit an invisible light (in wavelengths longer than most humans can perceive) and are used in the treatment of hair removal, brown spots, and blood vessels. The light penetrates the skin without damaging it. Pigment in hair, skin, and blood vessels absorb the laser light, converting it into heat. This heat selectively disables hair follicles, destroys pigment in brown spots, and treats blood vessels.
How will I be billed? What if I am unprepared for the charges?
We have our own in-house billing department with a very experienced staff. We accept all insurances. If you have any concerns regarding your insurance coverage or if you aren't certain you can manage your account, our staff will work with you.


With his debut album, Eterno Agosto and huge hits such as "Sofía", "El Mismo Sol" and "Yo Contigo, Tú Conmigo", Alvaro Soler has garnered more than 30 Gold, Platinum and Diamond awards worldwide. He's been nominated for three Latin American Music Awards, his songs have been streamed almost 390 million times worldwide on Spotify alone, and more than 1.5 million fans follow his YouTube channel every day.
In 2015 he moved to Berlin and recorded his debut solo album, which went straight into the top 5 in Germany, reached number 1 in Poland, Switzerland and Italy and secured top spots in the charts throughout Europe. The single, "Sofía", went to number 1 on iTunes in 17 countries and reached the top 5 in 30 countries worldwide.

This album demonstrates his many facets: intimate stories about a yearning for faraway places and also being at home in Barcelona, Tokyo and Berlin, told with charm and humour by this versatile singer-songwriter.


Nothing says nurturing like homemade chicken soup. After all, feeding your family is part of nurturing them and what better way then to make your soup yourself. I watched my mother make this enough times growing up that when it was time to make it for my family, it just seemed like a natural. Nothing is easier, just fill up your pot with water and add the ingredients and let it cook. I also make other soups with a little more instructions then that, but this is my mom's way of making chicken soup.
When someone was sick, it was always chicken soup; when it was cold and snowy or blustery outside, it was chicken soup. Need a great starter for a special dinner? Try starting off with chicken soup.
It's also good with sandwiches or just with saltine or oyster crackers to crumble in you soup. Children like it like that.
The leaves have fallen off the trees, it's getting colder and the days are shorter. This would be a good time to "make some soup".
Fill a large pot with 3 quarts + 2 cups (or 14 cups) of water. Add the vegetables and then the meat and then the seasonings.
Bring it to a boil then down to a simmer and simmer with a lid a little off for an hour and a half to let the vegetables get soft and the meat cooked. Taste the broth at this point to see if you have enough seasoning in it.
Shut off the heat and let it cool for a while then strain the soup into another pot . Take out some of the carrots and smash them with a fork and put them back into the soup.
Then take out the chicken thighs and debone and skin them and cut the meat up in little chunks or shred it in small pieces and put that back into the soup.
I used Orzo noodles but you can use what ever soup noodles you like. Bring the soup back to a boil and add a cup of soup noodles and cook until the noodles are tender. Cool slightly and then serve.
Thank you Arlene. It so nice to hear from new people. I'm glad you love soups.
Yum!!!! I love soups and will definitely try this out! Thanks for sharing! happy cooking Rachel!
I'm sure it has appeared on almost everyone's table. Thank you for your comment.
Chicken soup is a staple in our home. We love to have it all the time.

John Templeton, Jr. Receives George Washington Award from Sons of the Revolution
John M. Templeton, Jr., MD
February 09, 2010 (PRLEAP.COM) Education News
John M. Templeton, Jr., MD, President and Chairman of the John Templeton Foundation, will receive the "George Washington Award for Patriotism and Excellence in Education" from the Society of Sons of the Revolution in the State of New York at its annual George Washington's Birthday Ball to be held at the Metropolitan Club in New York City on February 18, 2010. The formal affair is hosted every year by the Society on or about Washington's Birthday. This will be its 133rd annual celebration and serves to raise funds for Fraunces Tavern Museum, which the Society owns and operates.
"Dr. Templeton and his Foundation's great devotion to education harmonize with that of Fraunces Tavern Museum here in New York, as well as with the words of George Washington, himself, who asked his fellow Americans to, 'Promote then as an object of primary importance, institutions for the general diffusion of knowledge.' Today, we believe, as life becomes ever more complex, education and understanding become ever more important," said Charles C. Lucas, MD, the Society's President.
Fraunces Tavern, a National Landmark, is well known as the place where George Washington bade farewell to his officers in 1783. The Sons of the Revolution saved it from the wrecking ball in 1904, restored it, opened it as a museum in 1907 and continues to operate it today with a range of exhibits and programs to educate the public about American history and freedom. This past year the Museum hosted the acclaimed "Magna Carta and the Foundations of Freedom" exhibit.
Sir John Templeton (1912 – 2008) established the Foundation in 1987. Dr. John Templeton, Jr. has been actively involved with it since its inception. In 1997 he retired from his medical practice to serve full time as its President. Today he directs all Foundation activities in pursuit of its core mission to serve as a philanthropic catalyst for discovery in areas engaging life's biggest questions in science and philosophy. He works closely with the Foundation's staff and international board of advisors of more than 50 leading scholars, scientists, researchers and theologians to develop substantive programs in these endeavors.
