ice cream bar · New Orleans

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.

trio of sweets · Hong Kong

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.

WelcomeWelcome to Benefits U — an educational series that benefits you on using your benefits resources to become better health care consumers. These articles were published in LifeLines throughout the first three months of the year. We are providing them to you all together again in this booklet as an additional resource in helping you better understand your benefits.

Prescription Drugs: A Refresher

Understanding 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.

Copayment Tier Structure: In-Network vs. Out-of-NetworkYour cost will depend on what tier level your prescription drug is considered:

Tier Level In-Network* (30-day supply)

Out-of-Network (30-day supply)

Level 1: Preferred $5 copay $12 copay

Level 2: Multi-Source Preferred $10 copay $27 copay

Level 3: Single Source Select $35 copay or 20% of cost, whichever is greater

$45 copay or 25% of cost, whichever is greater

Level 3s: Specialty 33% of acquisition cost Not applicable

Level 4: Non-Preferred Select $50 or 40% of cost, whichever is greater

$75 or 50% of cost, whichever is greater

Level 5: Not Covered 100% 100%

*A 90-day supply is available for select Tier 1 and Tier 2 medications for the equivalent of two copayments. This applies to the in-network option only.

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.

Using the In-Network OptionThe 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 FloorTelephone: 706.571.1992Hours: Monday – Friday,

7:00am to 6:00pm; Saturday & Sunday, 1:00pm to 5:00pm

Family Health Pharmacy (Family Practice Building)

1800 10th AvenueTelephone: 706.571.1995Hours: Monday – Friday,

9:00am to 5:30pm

Using the Out-of-Network Option

If you don’t use the on-site pharmacies outlined above,

you and your family members may get prescriptions filled at a

participating retail pharmacy — a national network of pharmacies

including our local Columbus Regional retail pharmacies. A list of participating retail

pharmacies is available from ProCare. When you do, your

copayments are based on the same six-tier structure used in the

in-network option.

Are You A Good Health Care Consumer?

Usually 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.

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.

• 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 in-network level of coverage. Plus, when you use one of

these pharmacies, you could get a 90-day supply of medications you take on an ongoing basis and save more.

• Utilize the many tools and resources available at MyHumana. Be sure to log on to www.humana.com and register if you haven’t done so already. Here you can learn more about your benefits, access claim information, store and manage personal health information and more.

It’s simple…the best way to manage your health is talk with your physician, ask questions and understand your benefits.

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-on-one, and/or offer extra credit projects.Q & A in class is always welcomed!

Unique learning needsIt is a college policy to provide reasonable accommodations to students with disabilities. If you have a specific physical, psychiatric, or learning disability and require academic accommodations, please contact the Disability Resources & Services office located in SC-144. You will need to provide appropriate documen tation of your disability. Please contact DRS at (480) 423-6517.

How to be successful in this course… ☛ 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.

• Attendance is required at all meetings. • Three tardies equal one unexcused absence. • Three early releases equal one unexcused absence.• Three unexcused absences and the student may be dropped, according to the Department.• 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 completionProof 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 integrityThe 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.

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 .

Notes1. There will be lab projects throughout the course. 2. Creativity is rewarded. 3. Attempting to use the techniques and skills you’ve been

taught quondam1 is rewarded.

4. I reward participation. Be on the lookout for design samples in “real life,“ and bring them in for discussion. “How did they do this?,“ “I like this,“ “I think this could be improved,“ etc.

Partnering Our singular line of business

provides us the unique oppor-

tunity to have a singular focus—

entirely dedicated to serving

the military, their families and

those who have gone before

them. At TriWest, we know that

delivering the best possible

service to our military customer

means understanding the

local health care environments

throughout our diverse and

expansive region. This means

delivering care when and

where it is needed, and our

structure allows us to do just

that. With dual headquarters

in Phoenix and San Diego, six

hub locations strategically

located throughout the region

and TRICARE Service Centers

situated on or near all West

Region military installations,

we provide service that is

specialized and localized.

Our local presence is also

strengthened by the fact that

we are owned by TriWest

Alliance, which is comprised

of not-for-profit health care

organizations and university

hospital systems located

throughout the TRICARE West

Region. These entities not only

further our local presence in

the communities in which we

serve, but they also help us

to build a robust network of

TRICARE providers.

TriWest also has a strategic

partner in our claims processing

contractor, WPS, that shares

the same vision and commitment

to ensure claims processing

works effectively for America’s

military family and our network

of providers.

Since we opened our

doors for business in 1996,

TriWest has served as a

Department of Defense (DoD)

contractor responsible for

providing active duty and

retired Service members and

their families with access to

the best-value health care

they are entitled to through

the TRICARE program. After six

years of providing exemplary

service in the 16-state TRICARE

Central Region, we were

awarded a new contract to

serve even more beneficiaries

in the expanded 21-state

TRICARE West Region.

At TriWest, our philosophy

is one of collaboration as well

as service. To that end, we

work to partner with the DoD

and Military Health System

(MHS) to ensure that while

those who wear the uniform

are deployed to protect

us, we are protecting their

families’ health care on the

homefront. We believe that

above all else, we must act

as stewards—entrusted with

a critical responsibility—to

serve those who serve us.

Support We recognize and

appreciate those heroes who

have made extreme sacrifices

protecting our freedom, and

ardently support the men

and women who have been

wounded in combat. To offer

additional support for these

recovering Service members,

TriWest has developed a

Wounded Warriors program

in collaboration with our

MHS partners to ensure a full

continuum of care and support

services. Through resources

such as the Warriors in Transition

notification process, our

Healing Heroes portal on

www.triwest.com and other

community resources, we are

supporting making the transition

as seamless as possible.

Promoting Wellness

We believe that preven-

tive care and education can

often be the best medicine,

and by offering and promoting

a dynamic disease (condition)

management program focusing

on chronic conditions such

as asthma, heart disease,

diabetes and depression, we

are improving the general

health and well-being of our

population, one beneficiary

at a time.

On Point. On Call. On Line.

With a customer base

as on-the-go as much as

military beneficiaries, we

recognize the importance of

helping them manage their

own health care online. We

are committed to providing

convenient and secure services

on www.triwest.com—so

whether it is checking the status

of an authorization or referral,

viewing explanations of

benefits, or managing enroll-

ment fees—our beneficiaries

have access to their healthcare

entitlement at their fingertips,

whenever and wherever they

need to.

At TriWest, collaboration

is more than just a word. It’s

a commitment, a business

philosophy, and a core opera-

behind our Joint Strategic

(JSOPP), designed to better

serve MTFs and optimize the

MHS by providing a compre-

Hudner, Jr. Our freedom, envied the world over, was att ained at great personal sacrifi ce—we cannot allow it to wither away through apathy. Duane E. Dewey Freedom is not for a few, but for all to enjoy and prosper—cherish and protect it. Charles C. Hagemeister Integrity is when you do the right thing when no one is watching. Raymond G. Murphy We live in the best country in the world—it is our duty to love, guide, and protect it. Thomas G. Kelley Moral courage—doing what has to be done because it is the right thing to do—is the mark of a true hero. Richard K. Sorenson America needs men and women with pride in their country and faith in freedom, unafraid to declare: “I believe in liberty and justice, and will fi ght to defend the dignity of man.” Bernard F. Fisher We should follow our convictions in defense of this great country we live in, and defend it if needed. Paul J. Wiedorfer Freedom doesn’t come easy. It takes many good people to keep it alive and well. Harold A. Fritz America—love it or leave it. Many have died to protect it. George E. Day Go with honor, live with honor, return with honor. That is America in action. Robert E. Bush We enjoy today because of those who came before. We will leave the country bett er than we found it for those who come tomorrow. James M. Burt If it has to be done, do it. Henry E. Erwin Freedom is not free—more than 400,000 were killed during World War II, December 7, 1941 to September 2, 1945. Joseph C. Rodriguez Life on this earth is short but precious. Strive to do good for others and enjoy doing it.

1979, he returned to the CIA and quickly rose to the post of deputy director. He later served as deputy national

security adviser to President George H. W. Bush, when he became the youngest CIA director in the agency’s

history and the only career offi cer to rise from entry-level employee to director. Aft er leaving the CIA, he

published a memoir, From the Shadows: The Ultimate Insider’s Story of Five Presidents and How They Won

the Cold War, was named dean of the George Bush School of Government and Public Service at Texas A&M

University, and became president of the university.

He was then called back by then President George W. Bush to serve as Secretary of Defense and

transcended party lines when he continued to serve in this critical role as a member of President Obama’s

cabinet. He retired as Secretary of Defense on July 1, 2011, at which time he was presented the Presidential

Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian award, by President Obama.

For his dutiful service to our country and for helping to shape our nation’s history and future, the Congressional

Medal of Honor Foundation presents The Honorable Robert M. Gates with its Circle of Honor Award.

The 22nd U.S. Secretary of Defense, Robert M. Gates, has a rich history of serving our country under six

Presidents, including President Ronald Reagan.

A Kansas native and Eagle Scout, Secretary Gates studied European history at the College of William and

Mary. While earning a master’s degree from Indiana University, he was recruited by the CIA, and joined the agency

full time as a Soviet analyst aft er serving two years in the U.S. Air Force as an intelligence offi cer. He later earned a

doctorate in Russian and Soviet history from Georgetown University.

He was a member of the National Security Council, serving under Presidents Nixon, Ford, and Carter. In

Virtual Pictures Company: From Concept to Reality.

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 avirtual, tabletop/seamless backdrop. Virtual lights and reflectors are created and positioned to simulate and deliver real-worldphotographic results. FAR RIGHT: High-resolution render of a virtual studio setup.

2010Grand Canyon Association 2010 Annual Report|

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.

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.

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.

ggout of africa Like many of you, I had no idea of what to expect from Africa. My imagination visualized the stereotypes of vast savannahs dotted with acacias, Masai warriors dancing to Ladysmith Black Mombassa, babies deteriorating from AIDS, Simba and Mufasa.

Before departure, I was oriented with the statistics:

Every day, 6500 people die from HIV/AIDS related

causes, and AIDS has killed 25 million Africans.

Approximately 800,000 Rwandans were slaugh-

tered in the 1994 genocide. Only 4% of Ethiopi-

ans have access to adequate sanitation facilities.

Forty percent of Kenya is unemployed (UNICEF,

CIA, UNAIDS). But large numbers can be both

numbing and dehumanizing in the presence of an

individual. Charts, bar graphs, the nightly news,

and a plea from Bono can’t do justice in the face

of a complex personal story. I expected the eupho-

ria of traveling abroad, the challenge of cultural

immersion and plenty of diarrhea. What I didn’t expect was an empathetic education in humanity. And

I certainly didn’t expect those suffering to be my instructors.

During my second day in Kampala, the bustling capital of Uganda, I met a 14-year-old Ugandan girl

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

region in the eastern part of the country. Rael was brought to the hospital after an FH staff worker met

her and realized her condition required immediate treatment. Her left ocular cavity had developed an

unchecked cancerous growth that, over time, had eaten away at the space between her eye and nose.

Along with three other FH staff workers, we shook Rael’s hands during our introduction but were unable

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 con-

nected 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.

“Doing The Most Good.” In these four words, our mission – to feed, to clothe, to comfort, to care. To rebuild broken homes and broken lives. By walking with the addicted, we can lead them to recovery. In fighting hunger and poverty, we can feed and nurture the spirit. And, in living and sharing the Christian Gospel by meeting tangible needs, we give the world a lasting display of the love behind our beliefs.

ABOUT THE SALVATION ARMY

These include food distribution, disaster relief, rehabili-tation centers, anti-human trafficking efforts, and a wealth of children’s programs.

Eighty-two cents of every dollar we spend supports our various mis-sions across the country.

Extending Healthcare...globally

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.

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.

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.

“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 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:

63“I am proud of this entry because it combines technical ability across several software applica-tions including Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop and After Effects. The design shows the combined result of many pixelated lay-ers creating a high resolution image: which is the concept behind the iOS app it represents.”

Grant WalkerFreelance Designer

64“I do like to keep my skills fresh, so a couple of times a year I assign myself a design proj-ect and “let it rip.” I have attached sam-ples of some of my recent work.”

Robert WallerValley Vista High School

65“My design & photo samples are a brief look at the work I’ve done since moving to Phoenix about 2 1/2 years ago.”

Chris WatsonUS Airways

66“I enjoyed extracting bits of blurs and tex-tures from the photos and compositing them with the headline and creating elements like the map and page slugs that seem ghostly and fade away. I thought the headline font, Figgins, had an Addams Family quirki-ness to it, too. ”

WHeRE THEBODIES AREBURIED

ABOVE: A stone cherub rests in grass at Oracle Cemetery in Pinal County. RIGHT: A single gravestone sits amid pine trees in a section of Williams Cemetery.

It’s October. The time of year when sweatshirts replace T-shirts, when pumpkins go on sale, and when little ghosts and goblins gear up to go trick-or-treating. In the spirit of the season, we sent one of our most ambitious photographers on a grave pursuit. Literally. His mission: to photograph cemeteries in every county of the state. Two thousand,

six hundred and seventy-six miles later, mission accomplished.A PORTfOlIO By MARk lIPczynSkI


solomon CemeteryLocation: SolomonCounty: GrahamYear 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.”

Pinedale CemeteryLocation: PinedaleCounty: NavajoYear Established: 1888

“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.”

sandy CemeteryLocation: near WikieupCounty: MohaveYear Established: 1890

“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.”

WHERE THE BODIES ARE BURIED


Cemetery NameYear Established: XXXXGPS Coordinates: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXLipczynski Quote: “A quote about what experiences Mark may or may not have had at any given cemetery. Maybe he saw a ghost, friendly like Casper, or pissed off like the ghost in that ghost movie. Or maybe he ran into the infamous Green Ghost. Or the ghost of Randy’s great-grandfather, who is more commonly known as Moses.

williams Cemetery (mountain view)Location: WilliamsCounty: CoconinoYear Established: 1845

“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.”

alPine City CemeteryLocation: AlpineCounty: ApacheYear Established: 1871

“This photograph is actually a vignette of the entire grounds,” Lipczynski says. “I liked many of the shots I made in Alpine, this one included. There wasn’t anything particularly creepy about the cemetery. It felt peaceful and very quiet.”

sheldon CemeteryLocation: SheldonCounty: GreenleeYear Established: 1915

“As I was leaving this cemetery, I noticed the monument rising above almost everything around it, making it a strong focal point,” Lipczynski says. “I stopped my car and got out so I could get low to the ground to emphasize the monument even more. I set the camera on the ground to include the sun, and dialed my aperture down to f/22 to make the sunburst.”

WHERE THE BODIES ARE BURIED

67“I’m proud of this recent work attached as I’ve made a transi-tion from magazines to newspapers. I try to still incorporate a touch of publication design into my fea-tures work and look forward to continu-ously improving and building.”

A trinket, photos, memories—what travelers bring backfrom vacation varies as widelyas the travels. Sometimes, anunforgettable wine prompts apurchase of a bottle to relivethe moment back home. Ormaybe it’s a cheese to smugglein.

G THEART & CULTURE OF CHEESE

smile and sayCHEESE

Inone of Monty Python’s best-knownsketches, John Cleese, “feeling a bitpeckish,” strolls into a shop and be-gins asking for a long list of English

cheeses. The joke is that the shop is de-void of cheese.

But the reality is, for a lot of us, ouronly experience with cheese is a log ofcryopacked jack, slice of Provolone ona sandwich or melted in mac’n’cheese.And if it is, we’re missing out on one ofworld’s best culinary adventures.

For many Americans,their palates haven’tadapted to the wondersof a smear of creamyBrie spread on bits ofcrusty baguette andfruit for breakfast or asmall but pungent pieceof Cambozola with adrizzle of honey trans-ported to the mouth on abit of water crackeraccompanied by a glassof aged port for dessert.

William Krafft, at thecheese shop at BristolFarms in Palm Desert;Chris Rotello, chef atJensen’s Finest Foodsservice deli in PalmSprings; and ExecutiveChef Matt Smith, 3rdCorner Wine Shop andBistro in Palm Desert,all know the endlesspossibilities that cheesecan play in our dailydiet and entertainingplans.

Cheese can be usedas an appetizer course,

as in Spanish cuisine;intermezzo or dessertcourse, in France andItaly; “or when you havethat last quarter-bottleof wine that’s not reallyenough to accompany ameal, but if you pair itwith a small piece ofcheese you have theperfect before-dinnersnack,” Smith said.

Serving tipsIf you’ve been to a

good cheese counterlately, there is an abun-dance of crackers, fruitjams and pastes, andspecialty breads madejust to enhance yourcheese experience.

“Most Americansthink of cheese andcrackers,” Krafft said.“But what often hap-pens is that all you endup tasting is the crack-er.” His advice? “Thinkof the cracker simply as

the transport method,”he said. “All you need isthe thinnest, plaincracker to move thecheese to your mouth.”

Instead of crackers,use a crusty baguettebroken into chunks andserve the cheese withsliced fruit or cheesejam or paste and a fewthin slices of curedmeats. “That’s a prettytypical breakfast you’ll

find anywhere inEurope,” he said.

For a recent Italianwine dinner at 3rd Cor-ner, Smith planned thedessert course of tangyGorgonzola cheese. “Alot of wineries don’tmake dessert wines, andthis way we can showthe versatility of theentree course wine,” he

Cheesy bits» Let the cheese warmup a bit before serv-ing: “Most cheeses arelike red wines,” 3rdCorner Wine Shop andBistro Executive ChefMatt Smith said. “Theirflavor blooms as theywarm up a bit.”» Sniff it out: The noseof a cheese can be tricky.“Usually the milder thesmell, the milder thecheese,” Smith said. Butthere are exceptions tothis rule. Cheeses thathave been washed inbeer or wine or that arefruited can fool you.“Washing the rindchanges the scent of thecheese,” added WilliamKrafft of the cheese shopat Bristol Farms in PalmDesert.» Maximize flavor:Like swishing wine inyour mouth to get thefull flavor of the grape,“try smashing it against

the roof of your mouthand let it stay there for aminute so that you getthe full flavor and aromaof the cheese,” Smithsaid.» Check out the milkbase: Sheep and goat’smilk cheeses are oftenmilder than cow’s milkcheeses.» Think outside thecheese box: Think ofcheese as a condiment. “Ilike to shave a nice hardAsiago or Pecorino on asalad rather than usingParmesan all the time,”Chris Rotello chef atJensen’s Finest Foodsservice deli in PalmSprings said.» Keep a cheese jour-nal: Like any other food,cheese is an acquiredtaste, and when you findone you like, write thename down and a de-scription of the flavor ortake a shot of the labelon your phone.

THE DESERT SUN ● WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2012

There could be a rhinocer-os snoozing on the sofa in myliving room and I probablywouldn’t notice it on my wayto the kitchen to fetch my firstcup of coffee, so intent I amon getting to the glorious,life-giving hot liquid.

Maybe that’s why I didn’tnotice To Go Sushi, a tinystorefront Japanese restau-rant in RanchoMirage — it’snext door to a huge and busyStarbucks. But there it was,right in front of where I stood,clutching my venti half/caf,

beckoning withthe promise ofwarm rice,fresh fish andseaweed.

I ordered atempura roll togo (since thatseems to betheir claim to

fame) and was delighted byboth the presentation and theflavors. Eight generouschunks held perfectly sliveredvegetables surrounding a nubof shrimp encased in crisptempura batter, before thewhole thing was rolled in abright, roe-like mix. Each bitewas perfect.

Even though the roll, $4.99,was packed into a Styrofoamcontainer, the sushi masterstill took the time to decoratethe roll, nestling a small rowof grass made from plasticbetween the chunks. A tinycup of wasabi and a packet ofsoy sauce rounded out themeal.

Also offered under “premi-um rolls” is a California roll,$3.99; Unagi roll, $5.99, spicytuna roll, $4.99, and half adozen more. Special rolls are alittle more expensive, from$8.99 to $10.99, but much moreintricate: the Dragon roll, forinstance, features crabmeat,avocado, cucumber, with bar-becued eel and unagi sauce,for $10.99. There are a dozensushi nigiri choices, and an-other half dozen sashimi op-tions.

Appetizers include misosoup ($1.50), seaweed salad($4.50) and edamame, $3.50.Try a little bit of several tastesin a teriyaki box, which comeswith a California roll, rice andchoice of teriyaki beef, chick-en or noodles. Having a party?To Go has a full menu of partytrays, with prices starting atabout $20.

Despite the name, it’s notall take-out. It’s a small place,just six tables set for two, butthe place is immaculate anddecorated in a pretty, pleasingway with big paper lanternshanging from the ceiling; silktapestries and bamboo rollingmats decorating walls, and arow of smiling ceramic statu-es lined up on the orderingcounter. Service is quick andefficient; I waited just a fewminutes for my order.

I’m glad I noticed this eat-ery. Come to think of it,there’s a cute clothing bou-tique on the other side of ToGo Sushi. I think I need todrink more coffee.
