Weddings and cakes go together like love and marriage. But the latest trend for

in china, custom sways many brides and grooms to opt for an elaborate eight-course wedding banquet, long believed to bring newlyweds luck. Yet at The Ritz-Carlton, Hong Kong, nearly a third of these couples still play loose and fancy-free with the last course, requesting something sophisticated yet decidedly unconventional. Executive Pastry Chef Richard Long’s response takes the form of an elegant plated dessert, a trio of lavish tastes comprising decadent, fudge-like chocolate cake, velvety passion fruit crème and raspberry mousse atop a sliver of a joconde spongecake which, in a subtle nod to another tradition, is the basis of many a tiered wedding cake.

into every reception a slight lull seems to come, usually — and not surprisingly — just after dinner. At The Ritz-Carlton, New Orleans, Executive Pastry Chef Thomas McGovern finds that a little whimsy in the form of an ice cream station really revitalizes things. Guests can indulge in create-your-own sundaes, smothering ice cream with hot fudge, caramel sauce, strawberries, whipped cream, peanuts, chopped candy bars, even Pop Rocks. Or they can instead sample minicones, showing off a veritable palette of flavors, from the more expected vanilla and chocolate and strawberry to the relatively exotic watermelon and even lemon verbena sorbet. “We tend to see a ‘WOW!’ type of response,” says McGovern. No surprise there.

Prescription Drugs: A Refresher Using the In-Network Option The in-network option offers the greatest cost savings to you and your family members when you fill your prescriptions at one of the two on-site pharmacies: The Medical Center Outpatient Pharmacy 710 Center Street, 2nd Floor Telephone: 706.571.1992 Hours: Monday – Friday, 7:00am to 6:00pm; Saturday & Sunday, 1:00pm to 5:00pm Family Health Pharmacy

(Family Practice Building) Are You A Good Health Care Consumer?

sually we think being a good consumer means being a savvy shopper when it comes to everyday goods and services like buying groceries, clothing, household items and major appliances. We are especially conscious consumers when it comes to buying a new car or a house. We want the best product for the lowest cost. So why should it be any different when shopping for health care services? As a smart shopper, we ask questions before we buy and we should be doing the same when it comes to our health since our life could depend on it.

nderstanding your prescription drug coverage is important. So, we thought we would take this opportunity to provide you with a refresher on how our Pharmacy Benefit works. First, here are some key points: 1. Prescription drug coverage is provided as part of the medical plan option you choose. This means that your medical plan premium includes the cost of your pharmacy benefit. 2. There are two ways in which to receive your prescription drugs: in-network (two on-site pharmacies) and out-of-network (national network of pharmacies including local Columbus Regional retail pharmacies). 3. To be eligible for the in-network option, you and your family members must complete a health risk assessment, which is always available through the Employee Health Center at The Medical Center. Note: the out-of-network option is available immediately upon your effective date of coverage; the in-network option is effective upon completion of each family member’s health risk assessment. 4. There are six levels of prescription drug coverage as outlined in the coverage chart below. 5. If you select the High Deductible Health Plan, you are enrolled in the Humana Pharmacy Benefit Plan, which provides a different formulary and in-network providers. Benefits are also subject to annual deductible and coinsurance.

Now it’s more important than ever to take an active role in managing your health, and becoming a good health care consumer is key to ensure you get the best care at the best coverage level. Here are some tips on how you can become a better health care consumer: • Talk with your physician about treatment options — maybe there are lower-cost alternatives that are safe and effective. • Be sure to ask your physician if a necessary test or treatment will be done by a provider who is in the Columbus Regional Health Plan Network. Using network providers will give you the best coverage. Remember, if you are in the HMO or HDHP, you must use a network provider in order for care to be covered.

If you have any questions about the prescription drug benefits, please contact one of the in-house pharmacies at the numbers noted in the call-out box. You may also contact the ProCare Pharmacy Plan directly at 1-800-699-3542. If you are enrolled in the HDHP and have questions regarding your pharmacy benefits, please contact Humana directly at 1-800-601-5031.

• Know when to use an urgent care facility rather than the emergency room. Care in an urgent care facility costs less than care in the emergency department. Urgent care facilities are staffed with highly qualified physicians, are equipped to handle non-emergency care for minor injuries and illnesses such as sprains, cuts, broken bones, and infections, and many offer diagnostic testing such as x-rays. • Get your prescriptions filled at one of the two on-site Columbus Regional pharmacies to receive the innetwork level of coverage.

How to be successful in this course‌

Course Information

☛ Attendance Attendance is mandatory. If you are not planning to attend all classes, drop the class now. Do not schedule work, doctor’s appointments, job interviews etc. during our class time. On your third absence you may be withdrawn from class. We do not simply “create� in this class. We are also class participants. Learning to listen well and provide feedback to your fellow classmates is important to me, to your classmates and your development as a Designer. Additionally, class participation means, that you will not only attend all class meetings, but that you are punctual, prepared, and interactive. If there is something that prevents you from attending class, communicate with me as soon as possible so we can discuss possible options.

â€˘â€ƒ Attendance is required at all meetings. â€˘â€ƒ Three tardies equal one unexcused absence. â€˘â€ƒ Three early releases equal one unexcused absence. â€˘â€ƒ Three unexcused absences and the student may be dropped, according to the Department. â€˘â€ƒ I may let you remain in the course past three absences, on the condition that four unexcused absences will certainly result in a loss on one full letter grade. Another lost letter grade will occur for each subsequent absence I allow, thereafter. Please fully absorb my seriousness on this point.

☛ Project completion Proof of project completion rests with you. You should keep both hard copy and electronic files of everything you do, and be sure to keep graded projects. If there is a discrepancy in grading you will then have documentation. Instructors do occasionally make mistakes entering grades, so keep your hard copy. Also, no project should be turned in without your name on the top of the page.

☛ Meet due dates and maintain academic integrity The Graphic Design Industry is ferocious about deadlines—so am I. Missing deadlines is a quick way to lose an important client, or even your job—and so, also your grade. When a class project is due, either the project is done, or it’s not. I don’t accept excuses. (Your project will be  late, if you are absent). Arrangements must be made in advance if a project is to be missed—no exceptions. Academic integrity means that any work you hand in as your own is truly your own, and that it represents work developed by you. The consequences for handing in the work of someone else as your own will result in a failing grade for that assignment for both you and the other person. Don’t share your digital files with your friends.

☛ In essence:

Assignments are awarded points based on: Completion on time, following directions, and appropriate content to the assignment . If a project is not completed, it earns no points . Late work = no work . “Real World .� All assignments are due the meeting date after they are given, unless otherwise noted . Outside homework is assigned that requires the use of a computer and access to the internet; however, if you do not own a computer you will have access to the Computer Lab, with available times to be announced in class .

Welcome! Knowing Adobe InDesign is essential for success in the graphics field. InDesign is the foundational software necessary to bring all page elements together—type, traditional and digital artwork. This course won’t cover all the capabilities of InDesign, but it will cover techniques that will be used in 90% of the projects you do. We will also emphasize good preparation and systematic thinking. Plan on taking Part II of this course in the Spring. If you have a passionate interest in the more advanced details of this excellent application, I am always willing to answer your specific questions one-onone, and/or offer extra credit projects. Q & A in class is always welcomed!

Virtual Pictures Company: From Concept to Reality.

From Conceptual, To Real, To Unreal.

Photographic Limitations Shouldn’t Restrict Your Ideas.

Virtual Pictures Company® (VPC) approaches the creation of 3-D imagery in much the same way a traditional photographer might – the major difference being, we have the ability to create and place your product into unimaginable situations.

Building your image begins with creating a detailed 3-D model of your product or concept. With your approve of the finished model, we then start work on the surrounding environment: this could be as simple as placing your finished 3-D model onto a virtual, seamless background, or as complex as creating something entirely unique – possibly an environmental situation that would prove impossible (or beyond affordable) to achieve using traditional photography: This is where VPC shines.

ABOVE: Screen captured image of one of our software-based virtual photographic studios. Featuring a 3-D modeled tricycle on a virtual, tabletop/seamless backdrop. Virtual lights and reflectors are created and positioned to simulate and deliver real-world photographic results. FAR RIGHT: High-resolution render of a virtual studio setup. Everything is computer-generated.

2010 Annual Report

BE A PART OF SOMETHING GRAND . . . FOREVER!

We all want to be a part of something grand. The Grand Canyon is a landscape that inspires us to think big and deliver on a scale that befits the majesty of one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World.

By naming the Grand Canyon Association in your estate plan, you will help ensure that future generations can enjoy the Grand Canyon as you have.

GCA is a membership organization, which means that by becoming a member, you play a key role in supporting our programs and, ultimately, our shared mission: to help preserve and protect Grand Canyon.

You may have already heard—2010 was a very exciting year for the association. You broke records (sales at our stores soared to an all-time high), you funded groundbreaking park projects (like Mather Point Amphitheater and Landmark Feature, just to name a couple), and you helped develop a bold new vision for our future. Last year was remarkable, and without you, none of our accomplishments would be possible.

For more than 90 years, people like you have helped preserve and share Grand Canyon. Now we can all do something profound to sustain it for future generations. Think of Grand Canyon as one of your heirs. Leave a portion of your estate to the Grand Canyon Association for the benefit of Grand Canyon.

Help us reach our goal to increase membership and protect the park by:

By supporting the Grand Canyon Association (GCA), the official fundraising partner for Grand Canyon National Park, you protect one of the most cherished landscapes in the world. You provide visitors the interpretive and educational resources that will make their trip even more meaningful. You teach children about their environment and inspire them to keep asking questions. In short, you help make the world a better place to live.

Your gift, when combined over time with other donors’ bequests, will grow to meet pressing needs at Grand Canyon. We cannot know all of the future challenges at Grand Canyon National Park. We do know that a bequest or legacy gift to the Grand Canyon Association will always be relevant, important and most of all, available when needed.

• telling your friends about the association • passing on Canyon Views after you read it • giving a gift membership to a friend or family member

On behalf of all of us at GCA, thank you. Thank you for your membership, your donations, your commitment, your time, your friendship and your love for Grand Canyon. Your involvement and support is crucial to all of our programs, our events, our projects, and most importantly, our mission: to help preserve and protect the park. Our work, now and in the future, depends on you.

To learn more, contact: Bonnie O’Donnell, Director of Philanthropy bodonnell@grandcanyon.org (800) 858-2808

You can also help by getting more involved. Whether you host a friend-raiser event or volunteer on a vegetation crew, you’re helping to build a community that believes in protecting and preserving one of the world’s most beautiful landscapes.

The following examples can be tailored to your interests. Be sure to consult your attorney for assistance in making a bequest.

Not a member? Consider joining today. Members receive discounts at all GCA stores and on most GCFI classes, a subscription to GCA’s quarterly newsletter Canyon Views, invitations to members-only events and much more.

I give ________ (e.g., dollar amount, specific property, residuary estate, entire estate) to the Grand Canyon Association, a non-profit corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Arizona, with a current address of PO Box 399, Grand Canyon, Arizona 86023 and a federal tax identification number of 86-0179548, for its general purposes.

We were introduced in her room at a hospital where she had recently arrived from a rural

to make eye contact with a face hidden beneath a fading purple cloth. Her English was broken at best as she tried answering our questions. She then asked us if we wanted to see her face. Uncertain of how to respond to her request, we bumbled our way through possible diplomatic responses to each other. Without waiting for our response, Rael unwrapped her veil and exposed her face us. Her face was as grotesque as one could expect of someone with this condition. A series of loosely connected veins opened up to a passage that revealed pieces of pink flesh, bone and brain. I share with you these details not for sympathetic shock value. Upon reflection, I’ve considered Rael’s unveiling to be the bravest, most vulnerable act I’ve ever seen. Before her were three Americans, representatives of a Western lifestyle that often celebrates success, sophistication, and style, holding beauty as paramount. And before us was a frightened orphaned Ugandan revealing to us a face of suffering. We came to offer a moment of consolation. She gave us a truer picture of beauty—one that is vulnerable, willing and unafraid.

“This brochure was a year in the making and took many revisions, both on the written content and graphics. I handled the layout of content and the image manipulation of the images.”

Extending Healthcare...globally

Finding software that will work with a facility’s existing system can be difficult. HIPAA regulations require electronic data storage to protect patient privacy. GlobalMed offers enterprise software that provides solutions to both of these challenges.

The present telemedicine market features a number of systems that are not interoperable. GlobalMed’s solutions are standards-based and are designed to work with legacy equipment and the most current technologies. We do this through our commitment to open architecture, which enables our solutions to be interoperable. This commitment to open architecture protects your investment. You can feel confident they will work with any platform. When you decide to broaden your telemedicine program, you can count on additional GlobalMed solutions to be scalable and to integrate with the equipment you already have.

GlobalMed strives for customer satisfaction. It is our reward for a job well done through listening, designing and delivering telemedicine solutions that are easy to use, dependable and improve workflow. Here are what some of our customers say about GlobalMed and our products:

“You can go to another vendor and say, 'Well, this is what I want. Can you build it?' They're going to say, 'No, this is what I have, can you buy it?' We never get that from GlobalMed. That's really why NeuroCall chose GlobalMed as its partner." Josh Randall, Vice-President for Business Development, NeuroCall. "GlobalMed has benefited our operation by having solutions that are very elegant, very easy to use and just works very well with people who are not particularly technology-savvy. It is easy to use. You don't have to teach people a great deal and then go ahead and use the software to pull all of the images together, to pull all of the exams together in one place that's easy to access and use for the physician." Marjorie Reiter, Maricopa Integrated Systems. "I think GlobalMed has been a tremendous advantage in really transforming our practice into the next century. We've been able to take what has been a very primitive practice, really low-tech, and offer patients and our staff a whole lot to be proud of in terms of being on the cutting edge of technology, creating a lot of ease for our patients, access to care, having an opportunity to participate in some really exciting and thrilling technology.” Suzanne Sisley, MD. “There are no…simple levels of things that they can do straight out of medical school that gradually get more complicated.” Pathologists have to have the right answer the first time. [GlobalMed’s] CapSure Pro Lab system allows the student to sit at the microscope and operate it without an attending physician looking over the student’s shoulder. Residents develop a sense that they are fully involved and have told me ‘they like the opportunity to be the one person at the microscope.’” Stephen W. Coons, MD, Chief of the Section of Neuropathology, Barrow Neurological Institute, Phoenix, Arizona.

GlobalMed’s CapSure® Image Automation Software makes visible light image acquisition and preservation quick, easy and secure. Adding CONi™ Services allows CapSure to save images into enterprise-wide systems’ PACS. Working transparently and in tandem with CapSure, CONi Services interfaces with a PACS to store images in three easy, HIPAA-compliant steps. In keeping with GlobalMed’s philosophy of open architecture, CapSure Image Automation and CONi Services can be used in a PC-based or telepresence system.

“This was a tough one,” Lipczynski says. “I spent close to two hours driving on primitive dirt roads, trying to find another cemetery. I stopped to get gas and asked the clerk where to find Sandy Cemetery and was promptly met with, ‘Who wants to know?’ I explained what I was doing, and the clerk pointed me in the right direction. I blew right past the cemetery, but finally found it. Daisy’s was an old headstone that I noticed tucked under a bush. I don’t know what kind of bush it was, but I liked how the branches enveloped the headstone and the way the colors turned out in the final shot.”

Pinedale Cemetery

Location: near Wikieup County: Mohave Year Established: 1890

“The Williams Cemetery is where my digital camera started acting wonky,” Lipczynski says. “I was struggling to find something unique at this location. I had driven around the worn paths that navigate this cemetery, trying to come up with creative solutions. Here, I used a filter to reflect objects behind me into the lens while the camera was pointed forward, focused on the statue. So, the treetops you see to the left of the statue are actually a reflection of trees and sky behind me.”

“One of the things I noticed about the cemeteries I photographed is that many of the graves were being reclaimed by the earth,” Lipczynski says. “I took that to mean that no surviving relatives were around to maintain the graves, leaving them to decay and soon be forgotten. This lonesome, deteriorating bench left out in the elements in the Pinedale Cemetery was a symbol of that lonely and forgotten fate.”

solomon Cemetery Location: Solomon County: Graham Year Established: 1870s “I loved this cemetery,” Lipczynski says. “It was so serene, peaceful and beautiful. I journaled about it after I visited, because it touched me deeply. The sun was setting, and there were a lot of busy birds flying in, resting for a moment, then going off again. I watched one in particular dive down below the horizon of the mesa, then come back up and hover overhead before going back down. I wanted to get it into the shot. I made several unsuccessful attempts; then, as I was getting ready to leave, all the pieces lined up, and the bird flew overhead in just the right spot.”

I set the camera on the ground to include the sun, and dialed my aperture down to f/22 to make the sunburst.”

c sn a

By Barbara Lowell The Desert Sun

There could be a rhinoceros snoozing on the sofa in my living room and I probably wouldn’t notice it on my way to the kitchen to fetch my first cup of coffee, so intent I am on getting to the glorious, life-giving hot liquid. Maybe that’s why I didn’t notice To Go Sushi, a tiny storefront Japanese restaurant in Rancho Mirage — it’s next door to a huge and busy Starbucks. But there it was, right in front of where I stood, clutching my venti half/caf, beckoning with To Go Sushi the promise of Japanese warm rice, Restaurant fresh fish and 40101 Monseaweed. terey Ave., I ordered a Rancho Mitempura roll to rage, (760) go (since that 341-5030 seems to be their claim to fame) and was delighted by both the presentation and the flavors. Eight generous chunks held perfectly slivered vegetables surrounding a nub of shrimp encased in crisp tempura batter, before the whole thing was rolled in a bright, roe-like mix. Each bite was perfect. Even though the roll, $4.99, was packed into a Styrofoam container, the sushi master still took the time to decorate the roll, nestling a small row of grass made from plastic between the chunks. A tiny cup of wasabi and a packet of soy sauce rounded out the meal. Also offered under “premium rolls” is a California roll, $3.99; Unagi roll, $5.99, spicy tuna roll, $4.99, and half a dozen more. Special rolls are a little more expensive, from $8.99 to $10.99, but much more intricate: the Dragon roll, for instance, features crabmeat, avocado, cucumber, with barbecued eel and unagi sauce, for $10.99. There are a dozen sushi nigiri choices, and another half dozen sashimi options. Appetizers include miso soup ($1.50), seaweed salad ($4.50) and edamame, $3.50. Try a little bit of several tastes in a teriyaki box, which comes with a California roll, rice and choice of teriyaki beef, chicken or noodles. Having a party? To Go has a full menu of party trays, with prices starting at about $20. Despite the name, it’s not all take-out. It’s a small place, just six tables set for two, but the place is immaculate and decorated in a pretty, pleasing way with big paper lanterns hanging from the ceiling; silk tapestries and bamboo rolling mats decorating walls, and a row of smiling ceramic statues lined up on the ordering counter. Service is quick and efficient; I waited just a few minutes for my order. I’m glad I noticed this eatery. Come to think of it, there’s a cute clothing boutique on the other side of To Go Sushi. I think I need to drink more coffee.

By Judith Salkin The Desert Sun

I

n one of Monty Python’s best-known sketches, John Cleese, “feeling a bit peckish,” strolls into a shop and begins asking for a long list of English cheeses. The joke is that the shop is devoid of cheese. But the reality is, for a lot of us, our only experience with cheese is a log of cryopacked jack, slice of Provolone on a sandwich or melted in mac’n’cheese. And if it is, we’re missing out on one of world’s best culinary adventures.

For many Americans, their palates haven’t adapted to the wonders of a smear of creamy Brie spread on bits of crusty baguette and fruit for breakfast or a small but pungent piece of Cambozola with a drizzle of honey transported to the mouth on a bit of water cracker accompanied by a glass of aged port for dessert. William Krafft, at the cheese shop at Bristol Farms in Palm Desert; Chris Rotello, chef at Jensen’s Finest Foods service deli in Palm Springs; and Executive Chef Matt Smith, 3rd Corner Wine Shop and Bistro in Palm Desert, all know the endless possibilities that cheese can play in our daily diet and entertaining plans. Cheese can be used as an appetizer course,

as in Spanish cuisine; intermezzo or dessert course, in France and Italy; “or when you have that last quarter-bottle of wine that’s not really enough to accompany a meal, but if you pair it with a small piece of cheese you have the perfect before-dinner snack,” Smith said.

Cheesy bits » Let the cheese warm up a bit before serving: “Most cheeses are like red wines,” 3rd Corner Wine Shop and Bistro Executive Chef Matt Smith said. “Their flavor blooms as they warm up a bit.” » Sniff it out: The nose of a cheese can be tricky. “Usually the milder the smell, the milder the cheese,” Smith said. But there are exceptions to this rule. Cheeses that have been washed in beer or wine or that are fruited can fool you. “Washing the rind changes the scent of the cheese,” added William Krafft of the cheese shop at Bristol Farms in Palm Desert. » Maximize flavor: Like swishing wine in your mouth to get the full flavor of the grape, “try smashing it against

the roof of your mouth and let it stay there for a minute so that you get the full flavor and aroma of the cheese,” Smith said. » Check out the milk base: Sheep and goat’s milk cheeses are often milder than cow’s milk cheeses. » Think outside the cheese box: Think of cheese as a condiment. “I like to shave a nice hard Asiago or Pecorino on a salad rather than using Parmesan all the time,” Chris Rotello chef at Jensen’s Finest Foods service deli in Palm Springs said. » Keep a cheese journal: Like any other food, cheese is an acquired taste, and when you find one you like, write the name down and a description of the flavor or take a shot of the label on your phone.

Serving tips If you’ve been to a good cheese counter lately, there is an abundance of crackers, fruit jams and pastes, and specialty breads made just to enhance your cheese experience. “Most Americans think of cheese and crackers,” Krafft said. “But what often happens is that all you end up tasting is the cracker.” His advice? “Think of the cracker simply as

the transport method,” he said. “All you need is the thinnest, plain cracker to move the cheese to your mouth.” Instead of crackers, use a crusty baguette broken into chunks and serve the cheese with sliced fruit or cheese jam or paste and a few thin slices of cured meats. “That’s a pretty typical breakfast you’ll

find anywhere in Europe,” he said. For a recent Italian wine dinner at 3rd Corner, Smith planned the dessert course of tangy Gorgonzola cheese. “A lot of wineries don’t make dessert wines, and this way we can show the versatility of the entree course wine,” he Please see CHEESE, D2

Gin Gin Mule totes big taste By Joe Gray Chicago Tribune

The Gin Gin Mule tastes like vacation. BILL HOGAN/CHICAGO TRIBUNE

A trinket, photos, memories — what travelers bring back from vacation varies as widely as the travels. Sometimes, an unforgettable wine prompts a purchase of a bottle to relive the moment back home. Or maybe it’s a cheese to smuggle in. In our case, it was a drink happened upon in Canada —a cocktail that turned out to have migrated from the U.S. Passing through London, Ontario, on our annual trip to lake country farther north and

Drinks on its generous veranda overlooking the garden popping with color after a heavy late afternoon rain seemed the perfect way to unwind.
