Some medical myths have been passed on through so many generations that quashing them can seem next to impossible. One such myth, that lung cancer tumors spread when exposed to air, remains popular and could stop some Americans from agreeing to potentially lifesaving surgery, according to a study published this week in The Annals of Internal Medicine.
''Lung Cancer: Myths, Facts, Choices -- and Hope,'' by Dr. Claudia I. Henschke and Peggy McCarthy, with Sarah Wernick. W. W. Norton, $26.95. ''Life and Breath: Preventing, Treating and Reversing Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease,'' by Dr. Neil Schachter. Broadway Books, $24.95.
Tobacco-related diseases are still the leading cause of preventable death in women, and most states are not meeting the nation's goals to discourage women from smoking, according to a report released today by the National Women's Law Center and Oregon Health and Science University. Thirty-nine states earned a failing grade when judged by a list of criteria from the Department of Health and Human Services and on the strength of their tobacco control policies. The nation over all also earned a failing grade.
The world's largest organization of cancer doctors began its annual meeting here today by calling for the eventual elimination of tobacco from the world. Scientists here also presented new data showing that elderly cancer patients tended to receive less chemotherapy or radiation treatment than younger patients received, even though older patients might benefit just as much. The elderly are also underrepresented in clinical trials of new drugs, the studies show.
I drove west across an ocher sagebrush plain, past pinto ponies grazing next to a Pentecostal revival tent, past the ribbed, rutted dirt road that leads north to Chaco Canyon, the sacred, ancestral home of the Anasazi, the ancient ones. I was on the eastern edge of the vast Navajo Reservation, heading toward Crownpoint, a Navajo community of almost 3,000 people astride the Continental Divide about 100 miles northwest of Albuquerque. It is the administrative and educational hub of the Eastern Navajo Agency and the site of the Indian Health Service Hospital.
The Food and Drug Administration yesterday approved a drug for treating people with lung cancer who have run out of other options. The drug, AstraZeneca's Iressa, is the first of a new class of therapies that can attack tumors while avoiding some of the usual side effects of chemotherapy like anemia, increased risk of infections, nausea and hair loss. In studies, it has been shown to drastically shrink tumors, but only in a small percentage of patients.
Anyone who has recently lost a loved one to cancer may be inclined to think that little progress has been made in conquering this complex disease. That would be very wrong. The advances in the last 50 years in understanding the causes of cancer and in detecting and treating it have turned many once fatal cancers into curable and, sometimes, preventable diseases.
A lung cancer drug being developed by Isis Pharmaceuticals and Eli Lilly & Company failed to prolong the survival of patients in a large clinical trial, the companies said yesterday, dealing another setback to a closely watched experimental treatment approach known as antisense technology. The results were a particular blow to Isis, a small biotechnology company that specializes in antisense technology, a method of turning off particular genes. The lung cancer drug was in Phase 3, the final stage of clinical trials, making it the most advanced drug in the company's pipeline. Had the results been positive, Isis and Lilly had been planning to apply this year for federal approval of the drug.
New findings that aspirin may prevent colon cancer have bolstered a growing area of research into whether humble aspirin or drugs like it will work against a range of malignancies. It will be years before the question is answered. Until then, experts say, people should be wary of taking the drugs on speculation, because they all can have side effects. But the intriguing new colon cancer findings -- and a wide array of test tube, animal and epidemiological data -- are encouraging scientists working in the field.
The pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca said today that it would make a warning on the label of its lung cancer drug Iressa more prominent after several patients in Japan suffered pneumonia and some died. The company said the occurrence of the side effect, known as interstitial pneumonia, was the same as seen during the drug's development. It said 2 to 4 of every 1,000 patients suffer the side effect, which is fatal in about 1 of every 1,000 patients.

Dhruv Anand and Udita M. Patro look at the trend of Indian courts granting larger damages in IP cases, particularly those concerned with trademark infringement.
With the Indian legislature and judiciary realizing the increasingly important need to safeguard and protect the intellectual property assets of a company, intellectual property litigation in India has recently received a heartening – and much-required and awaited – thrust with the recent enactment of the Commercial Courts Act, which has brought about a time revolution in such cases, and the recent trend of Indian judges granting larger damage amounts in intellectual property cases.
A recent judgment of the Delhi High Court wherein the court recognised and upheld the well-known YAHOO trademark of Yahoo! Inc., while granting damages to the tune of Rs. 3.2 million (US$48,000) and costs of Rs. 640,000 (US$9,600) is an apt illustration of this recent trend.
In another suit for counterfeiting and trademark infringement, Cartier International AG v. Gaurav Bhatia, the Delhi High Court awarded Rs. 10 million (US$150,200) in damages. The judgments point to the changing approach of Indian courts and their willingness to grant high damages in intellectual property cases, proportionate, at least partly, to the illicit commercial exploitation by the infringer.

My sandwich was delicious! I would definitely come back and order it again and again. It wasn’t cheap though.

Nice good coffee
We had a long black Americano coffee and my don had an iced coffee latte. Good coffee and good ambiance. I like the artsy mural painting here. I don’t think the price is cheap for coffee but I think it’s worth a try. Next time I’ll come again as this place also serves lunch and dinner. Good prompt service.

Heavy Footed Moa Skull & Leg Bone Replicas are museum quality polyurethane resin castings. Made in USA. Moa Skull & Leg bones for educational scientific use
Pachyornis elephantopus or Moa bird are an extinct group of flightless birds formerly endemic to New Zealand.
Heavy Footed Moa or Moa bird is a species of moa from the lesser moa family. The heavy-footed moa was widespread only in the South Island of New Zealand, and its habitat was the lowlands (shrublands, dunelands, grasslands, and forests).
The Heavy Footed Moa were ratites, flightless birds with a sternum without a keel. They also have a distinctive palate. The origin of these Pachyornis elephantopus birds is becoming clearer as it is now believed that early ancestors of these birds were able to fly and flew to the southern areas in which they have been found.
The Moa bird was about 5.9 ft. tall, and weighed as much as 320 lb. Three complete or partially complete moa eggs in museum collections are considered eggs of the heavy-footed moa, all sourced from Otago. These have an average length of 226mm and a width of 158mm, making these the largest moa eggs behind the single South Island giant moa egg specimen.
The heavy-footed Pachyornis elephantopus was named as Dinornis elephantopus by Richard Owen in 1856 from leg bones found by Walter Mantell at Awamoa, near Oamaru, and given by him to the Natural History Museum, London. Bones from multiple birds were used to make a full articulated skeleton.
The Heavy Footed Moa was found only in the South Island of New Zealand. Their range covered much of the eastern side of the island, with a northern and southern variant of the species.
They were a primarily lowland species, preferring dry and open habitats such as grasslands, shrublands and dry forests.
The heavy-footed moa’s only real predator (before the arrival of humans and non-native placental mammals) was the Haast’s eagle. Recent evidence from coprolites has shown that they also hosted several groups of host-specific parasites, including nematode worms.


Molestation saga: Don’t threaten me with suspension, Sen. Abbo warns Tinubu’s wife [ + Video]
The drama surrounding the assault by Senator Elisha Ishaku Abbo on a woman in Abuja continued on Tuesday with the Senator engaging in an argument with members of the Senate Committee set up to investigate the incident.
In the course of the Senate investigation, Senator Remi Tinubu who is a member of the committee told Abbo that the Senate has the power to suspend him over the sex toy shop assault.
Angered by the Tinubu’s statement, Abbo said, “Don’t threaten me with suspension, I am a senator like you and Remi Tinubu replied ‘Do you realise that I am also another woman? you are just digging a hole for yourself.”

Member of Freedoms Committee of the lawyer’s syndicate, Naser Al-Askalani, withdrew a lawsuit he had filed against National Salvation Front (NSF) leaders for attempting to overthrow the regime.
Al-Askalani had filed the lawsuit with the Prosecutor General Tala’at Abdallah upon the death of eight people in the presidential palace clashes.
He accused Hamdeen Sabahy, Mohamed ElBaradei, Amr Moussa and other leaders of the NSF, of inciting people to overthrow the regime and staging a coup against legitimacy.
After reading the statements of different political groups, Al-Askalani feared more bloodshed; he believed what was happening was a part of a conspiracy against the Egyptian state, reported state-run Al-Ahram.
Al-Askalani said that the withdrawal was due to his respect for democracy and opposition.
He reasoned the move with four aspects, respect for freedom of expression, the fact the opposition was the one to remove Mubarak’s dictatorship and bring President Mohamed Morsy to power and finally, because the opposition represents the key to democracy in Egypt.
Media spokesperson of the Popular Current, Heba Yassin, said that these were all false accusations to distort the image of the opposition.
“He claimed those people were traitors conspiring against their country and now he respects them because they represent the opposition, is this logic?” Yassin said.
She added that the real reason behind the withdrawal was to avoid exposing those who had paid him to claim those lies.
Clashes had occurred outside the presidential palace on 5 December which led to the death of eight protesters.
Besides this controversial lawsuit, Al-Askalani was one of the main civil right prosecutors in the revolutionary martyrs’ lawsuit against former President Hosni Mubarak and his minister of interior Habib El-Adly.

You Can Now Shop Amazon at Some Kohl's Locations
This story originally appeared on Fortune.com on September 6th, 2017.
Adhering to the old adage, keep your enemies closer, Kohl’s has struck a deal to operate Amazon.com-branded shops at some of its stores.
The department store chain, looking to shake off six straight quarters of sales declines, said on Wednesday it will provide 1,000 square feet of space at some 10 Kohl’s stores in the Los Angeles and Chicago areas next month and focus on Amazon’s smart home offerings. Kohl’s joins the ranks of retailers such as Best Buy and Sears to make the pragmatic choice to collaborate with a company that has stolen a ton of market share from brick-and-mortar chains in recent years. (Sears recently said it will sell Kenmore appliances on Amazon, while Best Buy is also giving space in its stores to Amazon.)
Investors clearly like the news, sending Kohl’s shares up 4% in morning trading, in the belief that the Amazon spaces could spur traffic. Kohl’s operates some 1,160 stores, so this arrangement at 10 locations will hardly move the needle, but some Wall Street analyst surmised a broader rollout would come later. (A Kohl’s spokeswoman said the retailer had no current plans to expand this.)
“This is a smart move, and puts Kohl’s ahead of its department store peers (many of which are focusing less on the electronics category), as the retailer now boasts a unique, differentiated traffic driver that sets them apart from the pack,” Jefferies analyst Randal Konik wrote in a research note.
The Amazon areas will be staffed by Amazon employees and showcase how a variety of Amazon devices, including Amazon Echo, Echo Dot, Amazon Fire TV, Fire tablets and others interact with Alexa, Amazon’s voice enabled technology.
The move also shows how even Amazon, which has been opening a number of its own stores, sees the benefit of physical retail at a time it is pushing its Echo products and the like, Konik said. Indeed, as soon as Amazon’s acquisition of Whole Foods Market closed last week, the online retailer’s Echo devices could be seen at Whole Foods stores across the country.
At a time Kohl’s has seen some of its apparel and house brands struggle, it has been focusing on areas like activewear and electronics to carve a niche for itself among its peers. Last year, Kohl’s began operating small Apple areas within its stores, and earlier this year, began selling Under Armour products.

That's according to a defense attorney for Rabih Haddad. Haddad, 41, was arrested at his Ann Arbor home Dec. 14, the same day federal agents raided the offices of Global Relief Foundation in Illinois, which he helped start.
The U.S. Immigration Court hearing on Haddad's detainment was closed and a court spokesman declined to comment on it.
Haddad's attorney, Ashraf Nubani, said the judge decided to hold him because he had purchased a hunting rifle and was considered a danger to society. Nubani said he would appeal.
Haddad, a native of Lebanon, came to the United States in 1998 on a tourist visa that has since expired, according to Nubani. Nubani says his client should be protected from prosecution for that violation because he has applied for permanent residency.
Haddad co-founded the Global Relief Foundation in 1992 and now serves on the board of trustees. The federal government froze the group's assets Dec. 14.
Haddad's wife, Salma al-Rashaid, has denied that her husband's foundation has terrorist links.
Michigan is home to about 350-thousand Arab-Americans and since Sept. 11, about 500 Michigan men have received letters from federal prosecutors, requesting that they report to be interviewed by anti-terror investigators.
About 300 responded to the letters and officials tried to personally contact those who didn't.
Authorities have said that those being interviewed are from countries where Sept. 11 terror attacks suspected mastermind Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida network is present.
As of December 21st, more than 160 interviews had been completed.
Assistant U-S Attorney Bob Cares, a federal prosecutor in Detroit, says the interviews are going well and should be wrapped up by January 21st.
Federal officials hope to conduct five thousand interviews nationwide. They say the men are not suspects, but might have useful information in the terror probe.

The Royal Trek is one of the short trek follows a bush like path along the foothills of Annapurna, north of the Pokhara valley. The Royal Trek is named because Prince Charles and his 90 person associates had explored this route in the early eighties. This Royal Trek provides the opportunities for significant cultural experiences with the various mixes of peoples and cultures that inhabit this region. The voyage of Royal trek begins in the beautiful city of Pokhara passes through beautiful Gurung village. During the trek, we are able to enjoy dramatic views of the expressively built hillside rice terraces, and the magnificent Annapurna range, Machapuchhre (fishtail) and the Langtang Mountain views. The trip finally ends at the picturesque Begnas Lake which is about 30 km west of Pokhara City.
The Royal trekking trip is basically recommended for beginners or those who have very limited time, because they have an opportunity to familiarity the unforgettable trekking holidays in the Himalaya. This Royal trek presents a true picture of uniqueness and allowing us the possibility to capture the traditional lifestyle of the people whose ancient religious practices and traditions have remained unchanged for thousands of years.

I interviewed 5 vegan activists for advice on how to speak effectively about veganism.
“How do I speak about veganism?“
I often receive messages for help like this. To be honest, I always feel underqualified and too inexperienced to answer. I too struggle to effectively speak about veganism with people sometimes.
So, I thought to myself “how do experienced activists talk about veganism?”
I reached out on social media to see if anybody would help me out and I decided on 5 activists. I sent each of them the same questionnaire. Below, I have compiled their responses in an attempt to provide you with a guide to more effective vegan communication. I hope it’s as helpful to you as it has been to me.Continue reading

West Coast recommendations
So, keen to get some recommendations as to resorts on the west coast (Canada or the US) that are decent.
I'm intermediate level, comfortable on most blacks but can't really be bothered with the horribly mogulled ones, and starting to learn some freestyle - but prefer it on natural features as opposed to the park. The gf is a skier who mostly does blue runs.
Spent a couple of weeks in Sun Peaks last January and a couple of weeks in Whistler this Jan. I liked the feel of Sun Peaks more - less people (the only day there were queues was a bluebird with 30cm of fresh pow and even then they were only 5 minutes), didn't get tracked out nearly as fast, while still being a reasonable size with a lot to explore. Whistler was cool for the range of terrain to explore though, and the beginner terrain parks were great for a noob like me.
Coming from New Zealand, the west coast of North America is pretty accessible via Vancouver or LA (or SF), would look to spend a couple weeks there, likely mid-late Jan 2014.
Had sussed out Big White (maybe as a combo with Silverstar) and Mammoth as options (and maybe Fernie) but keen to get views or other suggestions. Given the distance, cost and need to book in advance, reliability of snowfall is pretty important (and I'm pretty set on ski-in ski-out too).

Hello meat lovers! I’m working on a few blog posts myself, but in the meantime, here’s some information on one of my favorite food and wine events of the year from my friends at Cochon 555, Cochon Heritage Fire Napa, taking place on August 21st this year at Charles Krug Winery!
SAN FRANCISCO, CA (June 30, 2016) — America’s cult culinary event, Heritage Fire by Cochon555, returns to Charles Krug Winery in St. Helena on August 21st, 2016. Entering its eighth year of existence, Cochon555 events continue to attract sold-out crowds nationwide, most recently at Heritage Fire Snowmass during the Food & Wine Classic in Aspen. The greater goal of the Cochon555 family is to promote honest food prepared by singular artisans; to celebrate family farming; and to shine the gastronomic spotlight on the hard-working people who are responsibly (though often silently) raising heritage breed animals.
The Heritage Fire event helps foster the relationship between local farming and emerging chef and restaurant communities, which grapple with having to pay premium prices in order to serve their guests safer, responsibly raised and flavorful food that is also raised locally. Heritage Fire – a premiere, whole animal, live-fire, and outdoor food and wine event – features whole animals roasted over open fires by local and national chefs. The event also benefits Piggy Bank, a farm devoted to providing free heritage breed pigs to small farms in exchange for transparent business plans that are posted online. The all-inclusive ticket is now available online at cochon555.com for $125 (includes beverage pairings, tax and gratuity), along with a mouth-watering Heritage Fire trailer and video.
Heritage Fire Napa Valley will showcase over 50 notable chefs and butchers, each grilling heritage breed animals en plein air amongst the area’s impressionistic hills and vineyards. The event features responsibly raised food and traditional outdoor cooking techniques, paired with free-flowing wines from more than 35 boutique producers, craft beers from Magnolia Brewing, and small-batch Common ciders. The list of heritage and heirloom foods includes dry-aged beef, whole pigs, lamb, goat, squab, rabbit, duck, fish, chicken, artisan cheeses, oysters, and heirloom vegetables.
Participating chefs include Thomas McNaughton and Evan Allumbaugh of Flour + Water (SF); Adam Sobel of Michael Mina Group (SF); Albert Ponzo of Le Select Bistro (TOR); Andy Ricker of Pok Pok (NYC); Cristiano Creminelli of Creminelli Fine Meats (SLC); Rafael Barrera of Puerto Rico; Marc Zimmerman of Alexander’s Steakhouse (SF); John Sundstrom of Lark (SEA); Jose Mendin of Pubbelly (MIA); Timon Balloo of Bocce (MIA); Kim Wiss of Antica Napa Valley; John Manion of La Sirena Clandestina (CHI); Greg Laketek of West Loop Salumi (CHI); Tiffany Friedman of Butter Root; Joshua Schwartz & Tony Incontro of Del Dotto; David Bazirgan of Dirty Habit (SF); Sacramento’s Ella Dining Room and Bar; Jason Kupper of Heritage Eats (NAPA); Duskie Estes and John Stewart of Zazu Kitchen (SON); Robin Song of Junju (SF); Peter Jacobsen of Jacobsen Orchards (NAPA); Michael Thiemann of Mother – Empress Tavern (SAC); Michael Ginor of Hudson Valley Foie Gras (NY); Jeff Weiss, Author of Charcuteria: The Soul of Spain (SF); Lars Kronmark of Culinary Institute of America Greystone; Trevor Kunk of Press (NAPA); Sophina Uong of Calavera (OAK); Nicolai Lipscomb of The Battery (SF) and many more.
“It’s always an honor to host Heritage Fire in St. Helena,” says Brady Lowe, Founder of Cochon555. “And to have amazing partners like Charles Krug, and the Napa Valley welcome us for this special weekend means things are really heating up this summer. We’re putting the spotlight on heritage species, responsible agriculture, and amazing chefs. St. Helena is now home to Cochon555’s best expression of live-event immersion in the good food movement featuring the best chefs, farmers and sponsors around the country. Guests can expect an epic culinary experience paired with the region’s best wines; this is eating and drinking for a cause.”
In addition to the meat-laden feast, the event also features The Pop-Up Butcher Shop featuring Rob Levitt of Butcher & Larder (CHI); Tracy Smaciarz of Heritage Meats (SEA); and David the Butcher of Marina Meats (SF) alongside Master of Ceremonies Billy Harris (LA) leading the butcher demonstration which raises money for Piggy Bank. Guests can help raise $5,000 by bidding on packages including rare bottles of wine, monster steaks, etched cutting boards and custom knives from Town Cutler. In addition this year, Wines of Germany presents the Wood-Fired Ramen Bar featuring a notable chef, a delicious Tomahawk Pop-Up served with Faust Wines, Wood-Fired Artisan Cheese Bar with California Artisan Cheese Guild and Foie Gras from Hudson Valley amongst many other delights. This is the eighth year in a row Heritage Fire has made its way to California. It is the nation’s only hyper-local, whole animal, live-fire outdoor culinary event cooking and serving 3,500+ pounds of heritage breed animals in celebration of agricultural and animal diversity.

Remember that time we made rack of lamb and Andy wrote a wine review? 4 years later to the day, I thought I would repost. Thanks Superior Farms for supplying the lamb. -cg
Last week, Superior Farms sent me this beautiful rack of lamb along with a few other cuts of lamb to showcase it a recipe to all of you. On Sunday, (to close out my birthday celebration, and to celebrate seven months together), we grilled the rack and enjoyed it with our usual huge salad.
To prepare the lamb, you’ll mix lemon juice and olive oil in equal parts, and then flavor with sea salt, dried oregano and minced garlic to taste. Then marinate in the refrigerator anywhere from 5 to 48 hours.
Now for the wines!
One of the wines we purchased during our Seattle trip from Fall Line Winery, and the other wine was given to me at a media tasting at BevMo! We knew both wines were perfect for the lamb, and I did mention we were celebrating, didn’t I?
The first wine was Michael Pozzan’s…

Over $60,000 Raised for Charity at the 7th Annual HALL Wines Cabernet Cookoff and an Interview with Duff Goldman!
Here’s a little press release (combined with some photos I took that day and some of my comments) on the recent HALL Wines Cabernet Cookoff from my friends at the winery. After that, scroll down to read my interview with Duff Goldman of Charm City Cakes and Food Network’s Cake Masters!
On Saturday, April 23rd, over 700 hundred wine and food aficionados helped raise over $60,000 at the sold out 7th Annual Cabernet Cookoff at HALL Wines in St. Helena. Thirteen impressive Napa and Bay Area Restaurants teamed up with a nonprofit of their choice with the goal to create the best dish to pair with 2013 HALL Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Competition was fierce, the wine was inviting, and the weather paired beautifully with this lively philanthropic event.
“Our team is humbled that such talent, both in competing chefs and judges, clear their schedules each April to help us raise money for these noteworthy charities,” says Vintner Kathryn Walt Hall. “Thank you to our generous sponsors and loyal attendees for joining our efforts to make a difference in our community.”
Five judges, Duff Goldman, Celebrity Chef from Food Network, Leslie Sbrocco, host of “Check Please!” Bay Area, Virginie Boone of Wine Enthusiast, Ian White, SF Magazine, and Ken Frank, Chef at La Toque, took on the impressive task of choosing a runner up and first place winner from dishes like “Cherry Marinated Skirt Steak with Broccolini, Point Reyes Blue, Chive Blossom” or “Black Currant and Rose Macaroon with HALL Cabernet infused Geleé”.
Mark Dommen from One Market Restaurant in San Francisco took first place with his mouth-watering “Pancetta Wrapped Passmore Ranch Sturgeon Du Puy Lentils, Smoked Garlic, Thyme Jus” benefiting nonprofit Collabria Care of Napa (re-create here). Sorry for the obscene shadow!😦
Restaurants also had the opportunity to raise money for their charity through People’s Choice, a voting system by corks serving as the tallies. First place for People’s Choice was Napa restaurant, Bounty Hunter Wine Bar & Smokin’ BBQ, preparing “Fried Chicken with Spring Succotash” with the winnings benefiting Napa Humane.
Paula LeDuc Fine Catering of San Francisco took runner up of People’s Choice with the “HALL Cabernet Roasted Strawberries with White Chocolate Crumble and Mascarpone Cream,” partnering with nonprofit St Helena Hospital.
Proceeds of both ticket sales from attendees and 15% of purchases of 2013 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, 2014 Sauvignon Blanc and 2013 Coeur Cabernet Sauvignon were also donated to the participating winning charities. Sponsors of the event included at Magnum Level: San Francisco Magazine, Bright Event Rentals, Certified Parking Attendants, MyOffice Products, and Nixon Peabody. At the Harvest Level: Signum Architecture, DP&F, Benefit Marketing, Harvest Sanitation, Snap Fiesta, Napa Valley Tours and Transportation, Print Inkorporated, Frank Zimmerman and Co LLC, and Culligan Water. Bergfeld Sponsorships included Yelp, Alkar Staffing, UpOut.com, Napa Valley Engraving, Tre Posti, Barbier Security Group, The Lux Productions and Villagio Inn & Spa. Local radio station The Vine, 99.3 was on site to capture the excitement, led by personality “Good Morning Bob!”.
For more information about the event, please visit HALL Wines. To re-create the winning recipe visit HALL’s Recipe section. Check out the exciting sizzle reel courtesy of Flynn Kelleher here or more pictures from the event available here. Next year, the 8th Annual HALL Cabernet Cookoff will take place on Saturday, April 29, 2017, tickets available now! The event sold out this year, so make sure to reserve your spot for next year.
I had the chance to sample many of the dishes at the event, but my favorite was the Cabernet Braised Short Rib with Cranberry Beans and Horseradish created by Brix on behalf of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. I make short ribs with a wine sauce at home quite frequently, so this was just a dish I already like to eat.
I asked him a few questions about the event and his latest show on Food Network, Cake Masters, which currently airs Monday evenings on Food Network at 8pm EST.
ME: So, how did you get involved with the HALL Wines Cabernet Cookoff fundraiser?
DUFF: Well, I’m not really sure, uh… you know, I went to school here, uh for culinary school (CIA), and I probably do (appear at) about 3 events in Napa every year and my name is around, I’m a friend of the valley, and this is the place where I became a chef.
ME: So your new show is Cake Masters. Please tell me a little bit about that.
DUFF: It’s a really cool show, it’s a lot like Ace of Cakes, you know, it follows my staff, we make big crazy cakes, uh, but it’s in Los Angeles instead of Baltimore, so we really up the stakes. So now what we do is partner with special effects houses, so these cakes are really just wild.
ME: Yes, I heard about the Fantastic Four cake, and that it was pretty cool.
ME: So what cake project were you most excited to do?
DUFF: Uh, well we just made a life-size working R2D2.
ME: That’s so awesome, that’s great. So you’re know for cake decorating, but what on the savory side do you like to make/cook?
DUFF: Well, right now I’m writing a book about soup. I’ve got a soup brain right now.
ME: Yes, I’m sure you probably have soup a lot living in Baltimore, especially during winter.
DUFF: We do, and I actually grew up in Cape Cod, so you know it’s a big soup country up there. It’s cold.
ME: I was reading a little bit about you, and found you started out bread making. How did you transition into making cake and not just cakes but cakes that are really works of art?
DUFF: Well, I was a graffiti artist when I was younger, and I started cooking to make enough money to pay for my spray paint. Uh, I got arrested a lot.
DUFF: Yeah, so I had to stop doing that. So then I started doing metal sculpture, bronzing, welding making giant things like that bunny out front (Duff is referring to Bunny Foo Foo, the large metal rabbit sculpture in front of HALL wines created by artist Lawrence Argent). And then, I started working on cars since a lot of my friends liked working on cars–and I was a really good welder, and they were like, hey can you come over and fix this thing, it’s like you know asking an artist to come over and paint your house, and I really liked doing it, so that’s how I kind of got into mechanics…I’ve been a working pastry chef my whole career and then I’d say when I was about 25, I was in a band in Baltimore and the band was doing really well, we were starting to get looked at by record labels.
ME: And you’re a bassist?
DUFF: Yeah, so I quit my job and I started selling cakes out of my apartment to try and help pay the rent while I was trying to be a full time musician.
ME: You’ve always had the pastry thing in the background and you were in Colorado for a while?
DUFF: Yeah, I used to carve ice out there.
ME: Well it was really cool to hear a little bit more about your background and I appreciate your time.
ME: My blog is kind of small and out of Sacramento…
DUFF: Well send it (the link) to me, I want to read it.
ME: *faints* (KIDDING!) Oh I will! Totally, totally. Thank you so much!
DUFF: Nice to talk to you.
Well, isn’t that something? Truthfully, I just didn’t want to take up much of Duff’s time, so I kept it short. It was really warm that day and we were standing outside in direct sunlight and he was wearing long pants and a long sleeved shirt so probably not the most comfortable place to be and get drilled with a bunch of questions from a nervous blogger. And yeah, I was nervous about interviewing Duff, I admit it. The funny thing is, I had met Duff before a few years ago at the Fancy Food Show in San Francisco when he was kicking off his line of cake products (pic to prove it below!), and he was super nice and complimented me on my pink chef coat. But then I met Thomas Keller the next year (if you want to call it met) and I tried to ask him a question and he basically dissed me. So, the encounter with Thomas Keller (famous person) made me nervous that the Duff (also a famous person) thing would go awry. And well, I’d say it went alright. I want to thank Duff again for coming out to HALL and for putting up with me for about five minutes.
Last Saturday night Andy and I attended a pre-opening dinner at Chicago Fire‘s newest location: 7101 Laguna Blvd, Elk Grove. The pre-opening lunches and dinners were held both on Friday and Saturday in an effort to train the staff and to ensure consistency amongst the other four Chicago Fire locations.
The weather was terrific, so we decided to sit on the patio. The dinner was complimentary for us except for alcohol (and was also free to everyone invited). It included an appetizer, a salad, a pizza and a dessert to share between us. The limitations on food were mainly because it was a training night and an effort to control conditions in service and in the kitchen. It’s kind of like when you are a brand new runner. You don’t just start out running a marathon. You train up to that distance. Likewise, the staff in the new location were learning to run in ideal conditions, a few miles at a time.
I was very excited to be there because I have loved Chicago Fire for a long time. I think it’s a great place for celebrations or just a dinner for two. Also I work for a printer in Roseville (yes, I have a day job) and we print their business cards and takeout menus as well as a few other items. The people running the show at the restaurant are great to work with altogether.
But back to the food we ordered! For our appetizer, we chose the Garlic Fries. Not really something on the diet plan, but a treat to share with Andy and always very tasty/crispy/herby/garlicky. In true Greek fashion, they are served with lemon. Super good. Diet Gods, I am so sorry.😉
We ordered a few starter glasses of wine, but afterwards ordered this bottle of Windy City Red. It’s a wine produced solely for the Chicago Fire restaurants by Boeger Winery. It’s one of their less expensive wines and a very good value. It’s also a great pairing for anything on the menu with red sauce or any pizza that has meat on it!
Our salad came next and we chose the Pesto Chicken Salad. It’s my favorite salad at Chicago Fire. My second favorite is the Greek Salad, but I can’t resist the pesto dressing. Plus, the chicken on the Chicken Pesto Salad is grilled to perfection, and then there’s all those big cheese shavings on top. I almost wanted to take the salad for myself and leave the pizza for Andy!
Typically, I try to load my plate with greens such as the salad above, and then maybe have 20% of the main course. That way, I have had a lot of fiber, vegetables, etc., and gotten mostly full before I move on to the next course.
Chicago Fire serves a gluten free version of most of the pizzas on their menu. This one is called the Stockyard. If you order gluten free it only comes in one size, but that is OK because with the appetizer and large salad, it was a perfectly shareable size between Andy and myself. The stockyard is a deliciously meat-loaded pizza featuring garlic sausage, pepperoni, salami and Canadian bacon. And of course we got the gluten free crust. I also always order a side of marinara, because I love to dip my pizza crusts in the sauce.
As of all the previous visits we’ve had at Chicago Fire, I would call it consistent and very enjoyable. The difference was the great new location, the fun outdoor experience and the well-landscaped area around the restaurant.
OK wine lovers! Grocery Outlet is holding a huge wine sale where all wines will be an additional 20% off Grocery Outlet’s everyday low prices. It’s the same high-quality wines you love at 50-70% off PLUS 20% more off, so that means you can save as much as 80% on all Grocery Outlet wines during the sale!!
Yesterday I visited my local Grocery Outlet in Roseville, CA, and spoke to the wine buyer, Michael, about the upcoming sale. He thought my blog cavegrrl referred to wine caves! I never thought of that. That’s actually pretty brilliant. Hmmmm…maybe someday I will rebrand AGAIN as a wine blog with the same URL! Anyway, he was incredibly nice to share about an hour of his time with me. He is passionate about making sure he finds wines customers are going to love. He has a “benchmark varietal” method in which he asks the customer what their favorite varietal is, and if they aren’t sure of that, he finds out something as simple as their preference for red or white wine. Through this process, Michael figures out the customer’s preference of sweet or dry, and eventually can help them pick a wine he believes they will enjoy.
It is that kind of customer service you can get, especially at this Grocery Outlet location, where it’s almost like having your own sommelier, but in a discount grocery store (kind of awesome). And truly, since my visit today, I can tell you there are some really great wines to choose from for the sale coming on Tuesday!
Here’s the lineup I bought today and (all of them I highly recommend):
From left to right, Cuerda Sparkling Wine ($4.99)–tastes like an $8-$10 bottle and perfect for unwinding after a busy day or blending in a mimosa or bellini, Bonny Doon Le Cigare Blanc ($8.99)-I will update the description when I try this one, but Randall Graham is behind this one, so I think it will be pretty good. Also, it’s a white wine blend with Roussane, so I am sure I will be a fan. Next is the Paraiso Pinot Noir ($5.99)-a bargain and goes for $24.99 per bottle elsewhere, by the way does Santa Lucia Highlands ring a bell?? You should have seen me try to contain myself with this deal!! Finally, there’s Goss Creek Red Blend ($4.99)-I really loved, tastes like a $15-18 bottle and goes for $16.99 per bottle elsewhere.
Not only is Grocery Outlet a great place to buy wine, it’s a great place to find food to pair with your wine! Today, I bought a bag of Brussels sprouts, an onion, and some Aidell meatballs to throw together a simple and tasty dish!
Brussel Sprout, Onion and Meatball Sauté:
1 small package Brussels sprouts (quartered and pre-cooked in Microwave for 3-4 minutes)
1 package Aidells meatballs
All you have to do is slice the onion, saute it in olive oil with some salt until translucent, then add the Brussels sprouts––I like to quarter them first and then microwave them for 3-4 minutes to get ahead of the game. Usually, I am tired at the end of the day and I just want to eat and relax, so I am looking for any shortcut possible.
After the onions get browned and are pretty well cooked, add some balsamic vinegar to your liking (2-3 Tbs for me), and then add the microwaved Brussels sprouts and sauté them until browned. Then add the Aidell’s sausages. Cook the entire thing until it’s heated through (the Aidell’s are already pre-cooked, you just have to warm them up in the pan. It literally takes less than 20 minutes to make this dish and it’s a great pairing with ANY of the wines I bought above (especially the Paraiso Pinot Noir!!)
You bet I will be back in the store at 8am on Tuesday to clear out my favorite wines and save an extra 20% off when the wine sale begins! If you love wine, do yourself a favor and visit your local GO March 22-26th!! If you have questions, don’t hesitate to ask the wine buyer (if that person is present) or the store manager. In my personal experience (I was a customer before I was compensated for this blog post) and the following held true: the management team at Grocery Outlet just wants you to find the right wine for you and for you to be happy with your purchase.
Join the fun on social media by tagging your posts with #GOWineSale!! Cheers and happy shopping!!
Flame and Fire is one of most unique dining destinations in Roseville, and we were finally able to check it out a few weeks ago.
If you already live in that neck of the woods, you probably know about Flame and Fire (located off Hwy 65 in Roseville, Pleasant Grove exit) and their exceptional food. Andy and I had been eager to visit this traditional Brazilian Churrascaria since our visit to another restaurant in the Bay area with a similar concept/dining experience.
What is a Brazilian Churrascaria? Basically, it’s a place where meat is cooked in churrasco style, which translates roughly from the Portuguese for ‘barbecue’. At Flame and Fire, diners can choose from a variety of fifteen succulent types of meat at dinner and seven types of meat and lunchtime. The menu is fixed price and patrons are are served several times throughout their meal.
The food is served by Gaucho Chefs who slice and serve the meats table side. This manner of service is known as Rodizio style and uses a card or chip (with the green side showing) to signal one of the rotating Gaucho Chefs to visit the table and serve what meat he happens to be carrying (cuts of beef, chicken, lamb, pork and Brazilian sausages to name a few). When the diner has had enough, they turn their dining card to the red side to show the Gaucho they do not want more food at the moment.
Before meat service begins, though, guests are invited to visit the salad bar that is packed with over 30 different dishes and sides like Brazilian feijoada (stew of pork and black beans), farofa (a toasted cassava flour mixture), rice and beans. It’s like a compilation of all the best appetizers you’ve ever had.
To the side of the salad bar there are large containers with fish stew, rice and a potato dish with bacon and cheese.
The little kid in me wanted to try everything, but I knew I should save more room for all the meats that would come to our table, so I opted for a salad with a few different toppings and actually used the chimichurri sauce available on the salad bar as my dressing (the healthiest option on the bar because it contains only herbs and oil). TIP: Grab some for your meats later on in the meal. I also tried some of the wonderful cheeses available.
Often, Andy and I order a glass of wine (a starter glass, if you will) just as we are being seated. I usually go for something with bubbles! Then we peruse the wine menu together and find a bottle of wine to share that we think we will both enjoy. We decided on a bottle of Spanish wine made by Numanthia because it would pair nicely with the meat.
I should also mention the little side dishes that are placed on the table to enjoy with every meal at Flame and Fire, pao de queijo (melt in your mouth cheese bread) and fried bananas:
After we finished our selections from the salad bar, it was time for the gauchos to add our table into their rotation of service. It is very lovely to watch the servers come around one at a time and offer you what they are carrying. Below are a few of our favorite items from the evening, and some of what you can expect to see during a dinner service:
We sampled picanha (top sirloin) and the restaurant’s signature meat dish, fraldinha (bottom sirloin) and my personal favorite, chicken wrapped in bacon, Brazilian sausage, filet mignon, lamb chops (Andy’s favorite), pork ribs, parmesan chicken. Everything was so tasty and the interactive service was so much fun!
We were too full for dessert, but Flame and Fire does offer a delicious endings to their feast with a signature Flame & Fire Sovrete (ice cream) or Traditional Brazilian Flan. Also, roasted caramelized pineapple can be sliced at your table!

IPL 2020: 'Other' spinner Mishra eyes Malinga's mark
The veteran is second highest wicket taker in IPL history with 157 scalps, 13 behind the Lankan
Life isn't easy being the 'other' spinner. Australia's Stuart MacGill will attest to that. The leg spinner constantly lived in the shadows of the wizard Shane Warne.
Closer home, in India, leg spinner Anil Kumble and off-spinner Harbhajan Singh were at the top of their game and that meant Amit Mishra was always on the periphery.
And while he may have had modest returns from an even more modest international career, the unassuming Mishra has carved a niche for himself in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Mishra, now 37 and maturing as each year passes by, is the second highest wicket taker in IPL history and is within striking distance of Sri Lanka's Lasith Malinga.
With the frizzy-haired Malinga unavailable this season due to personal reasons, leg spinner Mishra could surpass the Lankan pacer. Malinga sits on top of the perch with 170 wickets from 122 matches, while Mishra has 157 scalps from 147 games, with one fifer and three four-wicket hauls.
As Mishra, one of the elder statesmen of the Delhi Capitals, eyes that landmark and aims to help his franchise towards the title that has so far proved elusive, he will be facing a different challenge.
The wickets here are a bit of an unknown and he said that it would be easier to gauge whether it will favour the bat or ball once the tournament gets going.
The Delhi Capitals, semifinalists in 2008 and 2009, apart from making the play-offs in 2012 and last year, go up against Kings XI Punjab in their opening match at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday.
"The conditions so far have been neutral," said Mishra.
"When we start playing, then we will have a clearer picture and can say whether it is helping the batsmen or the bowlers more," he added.
Looking ahead to the season, Mishra who played 22 Tests, 36 ODIs and 10 T20Is, said that they have prepared well and there is a positive vibe among the group.
"The best thing is that all the players are enjoying each other's company. Everyone has been putting in great effort in preparing for the tournament under such difficult circumstances," he said.
And while the veteran spinner said they would go all out in their effort, he also struck a cautious note, saying that it would be a folly to underestimate any team.
"We are really positive, but in T20 cricket, you know it is hard to promise a win, because all teams are so competitive and have quality players in their ranks. We also have a lot of match-winners in our team, and we will do our preparations according to each team. We cannot underestimate any team, and need to treat everyone equally," he said.

NEW MISSIONS ARE AVAILABLE IN RED DEAD ONLINE FOR PC, PS4 AND XBOX ONE.
IN RED DEAD ONLINE FOR PC, PS4, AND XBOX ONE, NEW MISSIONS ARE AVAILABLE.
As part of a recent update for the PS4, Xbox One, and PC, new Red Dead Online missions have been published.
On September 28, Rockstar Games released a fresh batch of Red Dead Online missions for all platforms.
The three Hardcore Telegram Missions are spread out amongst Saint Denis, Armadillo, and Colter, and each has its own set of rigorous rules to keep everyone on their toes.
These activities are distinct from the regular Telegram Missions that are currently available in-game and may be obtained from your pen pal “J.”
According to Rockstar, the enemies aren’t indicated on your mini-map, and you won’t be provided any aim assistance:
“The assassination of a target in Saint Denis’ heart has been given to you by Good and Dead. You’ll only get a description of their most recent appearance, so keep an eye out. Keep in mind that Josiah will pay you according to how cleanly you can dispose of your target — for the best payout, avoid alerting him, his group, or becoming wanted by the law.” “The second mission, Frontier Justice, is about the Del Lobos gang’s armed occupation of Armadillo.
“With the exception of a few well-guarded areas, you’ll be able to roam around town rather readily as long as gunshots don’t ring out. When you liberate the gang’s hostages from their captors, you’ll uncover a slew of additional ways to further disrupt the gang’s operations and cause general mayhem.
“In the third new Mission released as part of A Tough Business, Cold Day in Hell, it pays to keep a low profile.” A local gang has hired you to steal their plans for their next robbery. However, if word of the gang’s whereabouts gets out, your employers will be put in terrible danger, so you’ll have to move with stealth and cunning.
“The records’ contents are so vital that the gang’s leadership has become concerned, and has sent only a small group of its members to Colter, believing that the terrible weather will prevent prying eyes and potential assaults. However, if there is a commotion, rest assured that backup is on the way.” Some of the other highlights from this week’s Red Dead Online update, including discounts and promotions, are listed below:

After a lull, churches are once again under attack. This time though, the state has put the onus of security on the victims themselves, says Sanjana Chappalli
AT 8 AM, getting to college on time was the only thing on 20-year-old Jackson D’Silva’s mind. By 8.30 am, however, Jackson was in hospital with a fractured leg — he had been attacked by three men wielding heavy sticks. In Kundapur, a small coastal town 445 km from Karnataka’s capital Bengaluru, vicious attacks are the price people like Jackson have to pay if they object to their gods being desecrated.
On February 14, two days before Jackson was attacked, an idol of Infant Jesus at the Carmelite Father’s Church in Kundapur was damaged by people, whom the official police statement dubbed as “anti-social elements who intentionally struck late at night”. The next morning, as the damage came to light and people gathered outside the church, an altercation broke out between worshippers and others who accused the Church (and its worshippers) of forcible conversions. “[On the 16th] I was attacked by three people. One of them was present the day the altercation broke out,” says Jackson.
Across Karnataka, churches and religious institutions in the districts of Mysore, Mandya, Dakshin Kannada, Uttara Kannada, Udupi and Gulbarga have been damaged in the last two weeks. The attacks are strikingly similar to the spate of attacks on churches across the state in August-September 2008. At the time, keen to avoid public embarrassment, the newly-elected BJP government ordered a judicial inquiry into the attacks and directed police to provide security to churches and Christian religious institutions.
Sixteen months later, as churches find themselves under attack again, instead of protecting them, police have issued notices holding the heads of the institutions responsible for the attacks on them. TEHELKA has a copy of the notice issued by the inspector-in-charge of Bengaluru’s Hennur police station to the Logos church that falls in its area. It states baldly, “In case of any untoward incident or attack on your institution, you will be held responsible.” Striking an unapologetic note, Bengaluru City Police Commissioner Shankar Bidari told TEHELKA that the notice had been issued following a routine weekly meeting where police inspectors were instructed to “maintain close contact with the religious institutions under their area of command”. Significantly, however, no temples or mosques were issued such notices. His response? “Only churches are being attacked, so my force has been instructed to pay attention to only churches for now.”
Such extraordinary notices can hardly have been issued by the police of their own accord. A day before the notices were issued, Karnataka Home Minister Dr VS Acharya went on record to state that “the government cannot protect the victims of the recent attacks on churches” and that “churches are responsible for their own safety”. Despite a public outcry against the minister’s statement absolving his government of the responsibility of maintaining public order in the state, there has been no retraction or clarification.
HOME MINISTER VS ACHARYA MAINTAINS THAT THE GOVERNMENT CANNOT ENSURE SECURITY FOR CHURCHES
The controversy flared up after the release of the Justice BK Somashekhara Commission’s interim report on February 2, 2010. In the highlights of the report, the panel records “strong impressions” that members of the Bajrang Dal, the Sri Rama Sene and the Vishwa Hindu Parishad were “mainly responsible in attacking the churches or places of worship”. Additionally, the report again speaks of impressions that “top police officers, the district administration, other authorities and panchayat heads” in three districts “colluded with the members of Bajrang Dal and Sri Rama Sene directly or indirectly in attacking the churches or places of worship”.
Bizarrely, however, the commission then recommends withdrawal or compounding of all criminal cases registered, investigated or chargesheeted before December 31, 2008 against persons or institutions for the attacks. The final report is expected within a few months.
