Treatment options: When overcrowding is a problem, a dentist may recommend removing one (or more) teeth, giving the rest enough space to spread out. Once extracted, braces can pull the rest of the teeth in line. Braces make use of metal or plastic brackets that are glued to the fronts of your teeth, and then wires and rubber bands systematically straighten them over time.
An alternative to braces is a less evident product called Invisalign, which uses a series of transparent bite trays to align the teeth. Invisalign may not work for teeth that grow in at different heights or those that are severely rotated.
Dental veneers can provide more immediate results to fill in spaces and even out teeth that grow at different heights. The treatment bonds shells made of porcelain or a less durable composite material ($800-$2,500 or $250-$1,500 respectively) to the exterior of the tooth. The pearly covers can be adjusted by shade, shape, and height.

Book card at a glance
GENRE: Sci-fi, introspective, space novel
Recommended for...
The PREMISE is that the three astronauts have been selected for a 15-month simulation to train them for a potential trip to Mars. Should they succeed in this more-real-than-life simulation, they will become the first humans to walk the red planet.
While the PLOT is rather simple, with one big, if a bit clumsy, surprise, the strength of this book lies in the CHARACTERS. The characters are complex and multi-faceted and the novel is a pretext for the exploration of human nature as much as space. The only reason I gave characterization four cookies rather than five is that all the characters shared a common sensibility and were not as distinct as I would have liked.
The main THEMES, in my opinion, are those of reality and identity. If you act as a perfect astronaut, aren't you a perfect astronaut, even though your thoughts are subversive? Same goes for the perfect wife, daughter, etc... The theme is weaved throughout the narration touching on sexuality, loneliness, guilt, loss, self-discipline, and many more aspects of life easy to relate to. Interestingly, one of the characters is an actress who walks the fine line between controlling and being controlled by her emotions. Though in the eye of your community you are what you do, there's always a secret inner life that is not necessarily shared and that is just as important for individuality.
"The Wanderers" is the perfect TITLE, since it historically refers to planets, whose motion was observed by our ancestors to be different from that of stars, but it might also apply to the characters, since all of them wander about life, emotions, and their connection (or lack thereof) with others.
The COVER is appealing, though not mind-blowing, and does an excellent job of conveying the mood of the novel, targeting to the correct readership.
Though not particularly original, I loved the VOICE. The narration is smooth, alternating lyrical moments with humor and witticisms. Having ESL (English as a second language) characters slip in grammar mistakes when tired or distressed was overplayed and not necessarily realistic in my experience as an ESL, though everyone is different.
Howrey did an excellent job of developing the astronaut's WORLD: the training, psychology, simulations, the environment, and the space experience. I am not an astronauts, so I cannot witness to the authenticity of the narration, but it sure felt authentic and well-researched. I also enjoyed the hints at the different cultural backgrounds (American Japanese, and Russian).
The PACE was okay, but the book did feel long (it's about 400 pages of rather small print). Even though it was going nowhere, I was engaged and looking forward to read more, but toward the end I was getting tired.
The ENDING was rather disappointing to me. I like novels with a well-wrapped, cathartic ending, while this one belonged to the category of whimsical, who-knows type of endings except for one of the characters (Dimitri) who has a coming-of-age moment. All the other characters, though many have various degrees of realizations, do not act on them.
At the end of the novel I felt like I had LEARNED a lot about space and astronauts, and the book made me wander (pun intended) about the themes discusses.

A Change of Scenery

Mama, This is Your Superpower
- 19 July, 2018
Hey Mama,
Not too long ago I had an epiphany – and it has changed the way I do motherhood.
This is no exaggeration. It has changed the way I spend time with my children, it has changed the dynamic in our household, it has changed the way I react in difficult situations, and it has given me more confidence to turn things around when they're not going my way – which as a stay-at-home-mum, let's be honest, is several times a day.
Like when the witching hour rolls around and the girls won't eat their dinner and they're fighting and one is...
Keeping the Faith
- 28 June, 2018
It's about now that I start to feel my resolve wavering.
Weeks away from another international move, we've reached the stage that I now think of as the special kind of purgatory that lies between decision and action. The days that stretch ahead where boxes are not yet packed and normal service is expected to continue – snacks to be prepared, playdates made, yoghurt wiped from the walls, toys pulled out and packed away again, dinner served, stories read, little foreheads kissed goodnight – all while my mind races on ahead of me. All while my head tells me that to...
Preparing for Goodbye
- 14 June, 2018
We didn't come here for ever.
We didn't mean to stay much longer than a year. We never intended to make the Bahamas our home; we didn't mean to fall in love with it, and we could never have predicted that from the first moment we got that white white coral sand in our shoes it would feel like it had always been there.
But that was what happened.
Two years ago next month we arrived on this island with our belongings in 10 boxes and – as with so many leaps of faith in life – found that the risk had been...
Oh, potty training, my old foe… So we meet again.
As with all things parenting, I thought that with my second baby I'd have a handle on how to approach potty training. After all – I've done it before. Pretty well actually! Or is that just in my memory, which has done what memories do in the years since, and smoothed over all the rough bits, leaving just a shiny, two-dimensional, shall we say preferential picture of the way things were? Because this is how I remember our potty training journey the last time round:
When my eldest was 2 years and...

Clever old Kate has given birth to her littlest prince this morning, on St George's Day. And for me (as I suspect for many), all hope of productivity for the day went out of the window the moment I saw the news alert pop up on my phone. All day I've had Sky News Live on in the background as the world held its collective breath, waiting for the royal couple to emerge from the Lindo Wing to introduce their tiny bundle to the bank of cameras and news reporters waiting outside those famous doors.

It was 2.06pm on a Tuesday afternoon and she walked – late – into our First Year English lecture. I looked up as she smiled at me and slid into the seat next to mine, and what I saw was the kind of girl this world may have conditioned me to dislike. Blonde with long legs and big blue eyes, curvy in all the right places and almost unfeasibly pretty. She wore a brightly patterned sundress and had the kind of face that made people jealous of her before she even had a chance to open her mouth.

Learning Lately…
- 16 March, 2018
My five-year-old has recently started coming home from Pre-K with homework. I know parents hold different opinions about the topic of young children being given homework from school – it's so important that they have time to play, after all. But I, for one, absolutely love the concept of homework.
I love that it allows me to closely follow what she's learning at school and that it gives me a chance to reinforce it. But more importantly, I love that it forces me to make sure the two of us find time to sit down together to focus on it.
It's not...

Former speaker of parliament Pavol Paška of Smer said at the opening of the conference that its only aim is to find a solution to solve the conflict in which people are suffering and return peace to Europe.
The conference was convened by Prime Minister Robert Fico based on the request of his friend, German socialist Matthias Platzeck, the Sme daily wrote. Platzeck has no influence in his German SPD party, as he openly supports Russia.
The conference, co-organised by Platzeck's lobbyist forum has been closed for journalists.
Paška refused the claim that it is a meeting of Kremlin supporters; but the fact is that there are pro-Russian businesspeople and politicians in the leadership of the organising forums, German-Russian Forum and the German-Ukrainian Forum, as well as the the ASA institute which is connected with Smer.
Fico, who deemed the conference important and said that crucial politicians would attend it, failed to attend it himself. However, top foreign representatives of Social Democrats whom he had promised did not plan to go to Košice. And the politicians who arrived claimed they came as private personalities and not as party representatives, according to Sme.
The result of the two-day meeting is a memorandum calling for the unconditional end of military actions in the east of Ukraine. Rainer Lindner of the Board of the German-Ukrainian Forum told the SITA newswire that the peace call stemming from the conference is a call not just to the citizens of Ukraine and Russia, but also towards Germany and Slovakia, appealing to all sides of the conflict not to attack and to stick to the ceasefire and Minsk agreement.
Platzeck added that top representatives of Russia, Ukraine, Germany and Slovakia will be informed of the results, with more events and conferences to follow that could develop a constructive and effective dialogue. Platzek opined that a second, Way to Peace conference could take place in Košice by the end of summer or beginning autumn.

Natural and organic cosmetics. It sounds really great, yeah. Could it be true? You mean, I don't have to use all kinds of chemicals, cleansers, detergents, preservatives, and other godawful ingredients? You mean a product with no synthetic elements? Nothing that will cause some severe allergic reaction or make my sensitive skin break out? Show the way!
We all need to take care of ourselves. Hair care, skin care, body care, make up. This is not about vanity. Not one bit. Looking good has its place, yes, and natural products will definitely have you looking your best, but – first and foremost – this is about maintaining the best and finest tool we have at our disposal – our body. Plain and simple.
Ever since the industrial revolution, or maybe before that, mass-produced cosmetics products may have started off as natural, but quickly lost that title, when so many harmful ingredients were added to the mix. Natural cosmetics are the answer. These are products which are without synthetic elements, and which contain no toxic chemicals. No artificial fragrances, no artificial colors or flavors. A company I like producing said products is Maple Holistics.
Natural products have a great advantage over the unnatural ones, since they do not have to hide behind disinformation and FDA-approved hijinks. Did you know that cosmetics companies need only write "fragrance" on their labels, without disclosing the origins? This is because scents are considered to be a 'trade secret', and are therefore protected. You see what I mean? This gets to me, in a way.
When you buy natural products, there is a good chance that they were not tested on animals. I don't buy beauty products which are tested on animals. I get it when it comes to medical science and such, but cosmetics? That is the dictionary definition of unnecessary cruelty, and I try to live and love in a cruelty-free way.
If you decide to switch to natural cosmetics, not only will you be doing our furry friends a favor, but you will also be doing yourself one. Do the research. Don't just take my word for it. Naturalistic approaches, be they to beauty or hygiene, have proven themselves time and again. I feel a lot more comfortable using an herbal shampoo and conditioner than the cheap, chemical-laden, supermarket store bought junk. It may be cheaper in price, yes, but it is also considerably cheaper in quality.
Now, look. I am not talking about buying some luxury brands, or spending hundreds of dollars on the most expensive brands. I mean, it is cool if you can afford that, but in general natural cosmetics don't cost that much more. For me, the thing which is best about using natural cosmetics, is that I understand that it is not a one-size-fits-all thing. What works for one person may not work for the other. I like trying new products, seeing what oils ( like eucalyptus oil)or extracts I agree with, and I also take advantage of the option of producing homemade hair and body care products. It is an awesome experience.

Dave Zatz at ZatzNotFunny has found a way to use the new TiVo Desktop 2.3 to transcode previously transferred recordings, and to use different profiles that the defaults in the UI. By default Desktop Plus 2.3 only transcodes new recordings immediately after transferring them from the TiVo, and only into one pre-selected format. With this method you can transcode recordings you've already transferred, and into multiple formats. You can even use other formats which are in the XML configuration file, but which are not in the selection pull down in the desktop UI. You may be able to make you own profile in the file, but I haven't tried that. See his write up in his blog. It requires venturing into the command line on Windows, but it is fairly simple.
EDIT: Dave posted more information today. You canedit the XML file and change the resolutions from the default 320×240. So you could set the PSP to 480×272, or the Treo to 320×320, etc. It looks like you can optimize the resolutions for your device if you're willing to edit the XML. Very cool!

Chelsea take on Norwich City at Carrow Road in the first leg of the FA Youth Cup final on Monday, a game which can be seen live on Chelsea TV, and John Swift, who was part of the side which lifted the trophy a year ago, is delighted to have an opportunity to retain it.
The Blues secured our place in a second successive final courtesy of a 4-1 aggregate win over Liverpool in the semi-final.
'It's a great achievement for the club,' the young midfielder tells the official Chelsea website.
'This will be the third time we've been to the final in four years and we've won two of them. To be involved in the last win was the highlight of my season.
'We're playing really well at the moment and hopefully we can get the right result. At Carrow Road they're expecting a massive crowd, they had a large one at their semi-final, so I'm looking forward to that. It will be a great atmosphere and another good experience for me.'
Having won the first leg of our semi-final 2-0 at Anfield, we went into the return as strong favourites, and after falling behind to Kristoffer Peterson's goal midway through the first half, displayed character to turn the game back in our favour.
Instrumental in that comeback was Swift, who scored a crucial equaliser shortly before half-time, arriving late in the box to finish in style after initially starting the move in our own half.
Frank Lampard is widely considered the greatest midfielder to pull on a Chelsea shirt, and the 17-year-old recently sat down with the Blues star to seek advice on ways in which to improve his game.
It was a conversation Swift took a lot away from, and his goal against the Merseyside outfit was one Lampard himself would have been proud of.
'It was probably my best goal for Chelsea, although I haven't got too many to compare it with,' he says. 'I got one in the competition last year against Doncaster, and that brought us back into the game as well, so to do it again at Stamford Bridge against a team like Liverpool was brilliant.
'I didn't really know how to celebrate to be honest, but to come back from going 1-0 down was tough. We scored the two goals, though, and while we didn't cruise towards the end, we played the game out and I thought we did it well.
'I just wanted to ask Frank Lampard about how I can improve my game, but also what I'm doing right as well as what I'm doing wrong, and he was really helpful, so I was delighted.'
It's been a season of progression for Swift. Having played a pivotal role in last season's FA Youth Cup triumph, he has made the step up this campaign to feature recently for Dermot Drummy's Under-21s, while also captaining the Under-18s.
The opportunity to test himself against the best Europe had to offer at Under-19 level in the NextGen Series was another indicator of his development, with Swift coming off the bench in the semi-final to set up the winner for Lewis Baker in a 4-3 win over Arsenal.
'In the NextGen we got to the final and played against different types of teams including foreign opposition, and obviously we played in other countries as well,' explains Swift.
'We played Arsenal and Aston Villa at Lake Como. It's always a big game when we play Arsenal and I managed to set the winner up, which was probably the highlight of the tournament for me on a personal note. I didn't actually play in it a great deal, but I took my chance when it came along.
'Just being involved, even when you're not playing, is good for me. Travelling with the team, going to new places and coming up against different teams is all good experience as a young player. I've been involved in the Youth Cup for the second time and it seems to get better with every game.'
Timing is everything in football and based on recent performances, Swift appears to be clicking into gear at the perfect moment.
Impressive displays against the likes of Aston Villa and Sunderland preceded the semi-final second leg against Liverpool, while on Thursday he played the full 90 minutes in the Under-21s' 0-0 draw at Everton.
Should he start against Norwich, a side we eliminated en route to last season's final, Swift will undoubtedly be a key figure, but while he is desperate to produce the goods on a personal level, collective success remains the priority.
'It all started at home to Villa, when I thought I did really well,' he says. 'I took that into the game against Sunderland and felt I stepped my game up.
'I thought I did quite well against Liverpool at home, especially to get the goal at such a crucial time, so my confidence is high.
'Winning the Youth Cup again would mean everything. Along with the NextGen it's the best tournament a young player can play in, and I think winning it this time would even surpass last year's triumph as it will mean we've won it two years in a row.'
– Tune in to Chelsea TV on Monday from 7.30pm for all the build-up ahead of the game, followed by live coverage from Carrow Road.
Tickets for the match at Carrow Road are priced £2 and are available on the night.
Live text coverage of Monday's game will be available, although NOT via the usual page. Those supporters wishing to follow the match can do so here.
The Under-18 league match against Crystal Palace will now take place at Cobham on Friday 10 May, kick-off 11am.

Letter to a Ninth-Year Teacher
Dear Ninth-Year Teacher:
In the last few weeks, you've probably seen more than a few letters to first year teachers, imparting wisdom, psyching them up, and getting them ready for what they're about to face. It's wonderful that we are welcoming our new colleagues into teaching with so many thoughtful words, but all that writing leaves me wondering, where's the letter for me, a teacher about to enter her ninth year of teaching? Rather than wait for the Internet to provide it, I'm going to write the letter that I think I'd like to stumble across as a mid-career teacher.
First of all, congratulations. We're part of an exclusive club. As many our colleagues have left the profession, we've stayed and made a career in the classroom. We've ignored the siren call of law school, medical school, and school administration, knowing that each year in the classroom can teach us more than a new venture can. We've gotten here by being flexible, resourceful, reflective, and passionate. We're here because we know that the joy of witnessing a child actually learning something trumps pretty much everything else there is. Our work is tough, and our dedication should be recognized. But the fact that I have to write this letter should let us know that the validation we seek needs increasingly to come from ourselves, not from others. We need to be our own cheerleaders. The same holds true for our professional development, which often assumes teachers have little pedagogical skill. If we want to grow as teachers, increasingly, it's up to us to form professional relationships that elevate our work. It's up to us to now become the leaders of our profession, and to make these roles where they have yet to exist.
What should ninth year teachers think as we look out on the educational landscape in 2014? What are we to make of Common Core State Standards, changing teacher evaluations, and the multitude of shifts that characterize our school communities? Because of the unique time when our careers began, we're a cohort with an interesting perspective on current trends in education. Just as children born after the dawn of the Internet are called "digital natives," I would consider teachers who began teaching after No Child Left Behind to be "data natives." Data and standardized testing have always been a big part of our teaching experience, and if you're like me, you recognize that testing has some, if limited value. But as we have grown, you might have come to realize, as I have, that tests are only the most basic measures of student learning and teacher and school quality. We know that testing is neither a panacea, nor an absolute evil. I would urge all of us, as veteran teachers, to be voices of reason in an increasingly polarized climate. The years of experience we have give us credibility and important insight about what needs to happen in order for our schools to be the places we know they can be. We need to be advocates for data only as long as data makes our schools more human, not less.
Finally, we owe a debt of gratitude to the veteran teachers who helped us up. We also owe it to all the less experienced teachers we'll meet to be their veteran mentors. As selfish as I am to write a letter that's specifically for me and my demographic group of teachers, I know why there are so many letters to first-years out there. None of us would be here without an experienced teacher who helped us make it through the tough years. As we stop to take a moment to relish the extraordinary feat of making it to year nine (or ten! or eleven! or twenty-three!) we need to commit to making sure the new teacher next door makes it there too. This isn't an easy time to begin teaching. Figuring out which competing demands were most important was one of the toughest challenges of my first year, and I can only imagine how hard that must be in an era of competing standards, incoherent evaluation, and intense pressure. As we look forward, we need to remember to pat ourselves on the back, and offer a hand to those around us.
Here's to a great year!
Cristina, year 9

The Impact of Price Regulation on the Launch Delay of New Drugs - Evidence from Twenty-Five Major Markets in the 1990s
This study analyzes the effect of pharmaceutical price regulation on delays in new drug launches. Because low price in one market may 'spill-over' to others, though parallel trade and external referencing, manufacturers may rationally prefer longer delay or non-launch to accepting a low price. We use a Cox proportional hazard model to analyze the launch experience in 25 major markets of 85 new chemical entities (NCEs) launched in the UK or US between 1994 and 1998. There are 1,167 observed launches, or about 55% of the maximum. The US leads with 73 launches, followed by Germany (66) and the UK (64). Only 13 NCEs launched in Japan, 26 in Portugal and 28 in New Zealand. Countries with fewer launches also have longer average launch lags. The launch hazard is positively related to expected price and to expected volume, controlling for income per capita. The originator firm(s) characteristics, specifically, launch in home country and global experience, also significantly reduce launch delay. Within the EU, likely parallel export countries have the most negative effects. Our results suggest that countries with lower expected prices or smaller expected market size experience longer delays in new drug access, controlling for per capita income and other country and firm characteristics.

As we prepare Sal Salis Ningaloo Reef for the arrival of our very first guests for 2018, we thought we'd pause for a moment to share with you what's in store for the season ahead.
We've welcomed back camp managers, Candice and Paul, as well as much loved team members, Simon, Julian and Nush, who are busily putting the final touches to our camp ahead of our re-opening on 12 March.
The big news from the North West of Western Australia is that whale sharks have already arrived at the UNESCO World Heritage Listed Ningaloo Reef! Our award-winning partner, Live Ningaloo, will once again offer our guests the opportunity to swim with these graceful gentle giants from 27 March until 31 July.
Ningaloo Reef is considered the most easily accessible and reliable place in the world to swim with whale sharks, and there's no better way to tick it off your bucket list than on a small group tour with Live Ningaloo.
However, if you'd prefer to stay close to your eco-luxe safari tent during your stay (how can we blame you?!), there's plenty of marine life to be discovered close to our camp. Sal Salis is located just a short stroll from one of the best snorkelling spots on Ningaloo Reef. Don your mask and snorkel, step into the crystal clear Indian Ocean and discover a myriad of marine life just metres from the shore. Immerse yourself in this unspoilt underwater wonderland of coral, turtles, rays and fish. There's no better escape from the stress of everyday life than by joining schools of fish going about their business in this bustling marine metropolis.
If you're feeling a bit more adventurous and keen to see what's beneath the surface further afield, why not join one of our guided kayak tours to snorkel in some of the deeper lagoons offshore?
Alternatively, take one of our stand-up paddle boards for a spin to get a different perspective on our beautiful location in the Cape Range National Park of Australia's Coral Coast.
There are some absolutely amazing sights, flora and fauna to be discovered within the Cape Range National Park. Our guests often delight in seeing a wealth of wildlife around our camp, from our welcoming committee of wallaroos and kangaroos to goannas and echidnas. Take a guided walk to nearby Mandu Mandu Gorge or Yardie Creek to acquaint yourself with the fascinating geological formations of the area, as well as the National Park's flora and fauna, some species of which are not found anywhere else in the world.
Just as humpback whales start to make a splash around Ningaloo Reef in late June, we also start to notice wildflowers creating a splash of colour on land. Keep your eyes peeled for mauve mulla mulla and bright red Sturt Desert Peas in the area.
Live Ningaloo's whale shark tours will end for the season on 31 July, but not to worry if you're planning to visit later in the season. There will be plenty of opportunities to swim alongside other behemoth marine creatures Ningaloo Reef is renowned for. Why not consider taking a dip with humpback whales during your stay at Sal Salis? Live Ningaloo will offer our guests the chance to swim with humpback whales from 1 August.
In August, we will also welcome one of Australia's leading yoga specialists, Denby Sheather, and her group of yoga aficionados to Sal Salis for Salted Souls, a week-long spiritual adventure. Please contact Denby directly if you're keen to join the group.
In October, we will start to see turtles nesting on our shores, and as the last of the humpback whales leave Ningaloo Reef to continue their migration south, we too will close our camp on 31 October and head south.
We hope to welcome you to Sal Salis Ningaloo Reef this season. Please like us on Facebook and follow us on Instagram to share the adventure with us!

Pumpkin Spice Latte Syrup
I was under the impression that there were no Pumpkin Spice Lattes at the Starbuckses here in Paris since my friends seemed to already be enjoying them back home and I hadn't seen them advertised at all in the city. It makes sense, since the French aversion to cinnamon is well–documented, and there's no pumpkin pie tradition here like there is in the States and Canada. Oh sure, there are lots of huge, knobbly pumpkins around at the markets, but I don't think anyone's using them in sweets.
Despite my best friend being a froth slave under the little green mermaid, I've never been a huge fan of Starbucks. Honestly, I prefer to make my own French press or pour-over coffee, and there are better places to go for $4 espresso drinks. But I could never resist Pumpkin Spice Latte season. I remember when my office friends and I would make special trips for an afternoon pick-me-up of extra-sweet, pumpkin spicy goodness. Every once in a while one of us would bring a four-cup caddy to work first thing in the morning to share with our little clan, and it was the best possible way to start off a day at our windowless, flourescent-lit desks.
I had already made this syrup and enjoyed many many coffees spiked with the stuff before I found out that France will, indeed, get Pumpkin Spice Lattes after all, but not until October. Now that I've made the homemade version, though, I don't think I'll even need to get the original from the mermaid. I like that I can customize exactly how sweet my drink is without having to make one of those dreaded extra-specific coffee orders, and it's lovely to wake up in the morning and have a little treat like this without having to get out of my pajamas.

Plus, I get to use my favorite new teacup. Good morning, little courtiers.
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon whole nutmeg, ground or broken into pieces
- 1 teaspoon whole cloves
- 2 teaspoons candied ginger (approximate) or 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 4 tablespoons canned or homemade pumpkin purée
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- In a saucepan, combine the water and sugar over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has completely dissolved.
- Meanwhile, in a spice grinder or with a mortar and pestle, combine the cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger and process until the entire mass is powdery or in very small pieces. Add to the sugar mixture and bring to a simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Remove the sugar and spice mixture from the heat and whisk in the pumpkin and vanilla. Allow it to cool for another 5 minutes or so, then strain it through a fine-mesh sieve or through a couple layers of cheesecloth until no noticeable lumps remain. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
- To make coffee drinks, add 1-2 tablespoons of the syrup to espresso before adding steamed milk, stir it into your drip or French press coffee, or mix into cold-brewed coffee before pouring over ice and mixing with milk for an iced latte. Taste and adjust to your liking and top with foam, whipped cream, and/or a sprinkle of cinnamon and nutmeg.
Adapted from Cook Like a Champion.
You can adjust the spice ratios however you like. I'm a big fan of cinnamon, so I go quite heavy on it here, but you can cut it back or add more of another spice that you enjoy more.
The syrup will have a slightly odd texture that seems a bit slimy. This is fine. As long as you don't cook the pumpkin after you add it to the hot sugar, it shouldn't get too thick and will melt into the coffee easily.
This syrup makes great gifts for coffee lovers! Seal it up in a jar or bottle and give it to a friend who deserve a treat.

That's cool that they have PSLs at the Starbucks there. I remember them not having any of the "normal" Christmastime drinks when I was in France… Only Creme Brulee Lattes!
Yes, an I swear they're sweeter here! I got an iced vanilla latte back when we had our one-week heat wave, just to get something cold in me, and I thought my teeth would fall out right there.
Love this! Pumpkin spice lattes are the best, but truth be told, I bet the homemade version is better than Starbucks'. I can imagine making a few batches of this and giving it out to friends as gifts!
I might be biased (which is to say, I am totally biased), but I think the homemade version is certainly better. You can tailor it to your taste, so I always make my a little less sweet. Plus, way cheaper, dontcha know.

Soooo. I live in Mexico.. and Pumpkin Spice NEVER came here… and candied ginger is not looking promising either… can you recommend a substitute? Maybe fresh ginger and more sugar?
Yes! You can absolutely just use a few slices (maybe a 1-inch nub) of fresh ginger, or a teaspoon of ginger powder. You can add a few extra teaspoons of sugar if you want, but I don't think it'll make that big a difference in the long run.

Venerable Ignatius, Abbot in Asia Minor
Saint Ignatius lived during the tenth century in Cappadocia, and from his youth he was dedicated by his parents to God. Upon attaining the age of maturity, he accepted monasticism and soon was ordained to the holy priesthood.
Later, Saint Ignatius was made igumen of a monastery of the Savior, called "Deep River," close to Constantinople. Saint Ignatius concerned himself about the monastery, embellishing the churches and making an enclosure for the monastery. Saint Ignatius died in the city of Amoreia in the year 975. His relics were uncovered after a long period of time and found to be incorrupt.

Texas Law Tramples on Free Speech Rights
HOUSTON (CN) – The state law under which a Texas city cracked down on day laborers soliciting work on the streets tramples free speech rights, a federal judge found.
The Jornaleros de Las Palmas sued League City over its enforcement of a section of the Texas Transportation Code that the group says violates the First and 14th Amendments. The code allows for solicitation of charitable contributions but makes it illegal to solicit employment on roadways.
The unincorporated association of Latino day laborers also sued Police Chief Michael Jez, the official who issued a special order in 2009 calling for officers to monitor common sites where laborers gathered to find work.
The workers complained that the League City police department relied on the unconstitutional section of the Texas Transportation Code as it increasingly issued citations and made arrests for solicitation.
Current Police Chief Michael Kramm has since taken Jez's place as a defendant in the lawsuit. The court previously granted dismissal of Texas Gov. Rick Perry as a defendant.
Though the city claimed that traffic safety concerns led to the day labor solicitation crackdown, U.S. Magistrate Judge Stephen Smith rejected the assertion.
"The defendants have not shown the statute to be narrowly tailored to achieve the stated goal of promoting traffic safety and control," Smith wrote in his summary of findings. "For example, the law incorporates exceptions for certain types of roadway solicitation, which presumably pose an equal risk to public safety; it applies to all roadways, paved or not, and at all intersections, regardless of traffic flow; and it applies to vehicles lawfully parked on the side of the road, as well as to vehicles passing on the street without slowing down.
"The defendants have provided no credible evidence that day laborer solicitation ever caused any traffic accident in League City.
"Finally, the defendants have not shown why other traffic laws which do not target speech are inadequate to serve the public's legitimate interest in traffic safety and control."
Smith concluded that the statute is facially overbroad and violates the First Amendment.
The judge further determined that while the city's police officers went too far by specifically targeting day laborers over other solicitors, there was no indication of intentional racial and national origin discrimination.
"The court concludes that League City day laborers were not targeted based on who they were, but on what they did – that is, exercise their right to free speech," Smith wrote, rejecting the workers' 14th Amendment claim.
Smith gave the workers 21 days to submit a proposed final judgment for declaratory relief, as well as permanent injunctive relief, which he says "would serve the public interest by helping to restore faith and confidence in the justice system by all residents of League City."

Update on Google Encrypted Search
Back when Google moved to encrypted search by default in 2011, it created issues for schools who wanted to restrict and report on Google searches so we worked with them to create an option to be able to redirect Google search traffic to servers that do not allow encrypted searching. By redirecting to nosslsearch.google.com, schools could filter and monitor like usual. Many schools have been using this solution.
Google has recently announced that providing this service is not something they can continue; they are replacing the non-encrypted servers with encrypted servers that always enforce safe search. You can read more about this directly from Google here.
What this means for Lightspeed Customers:
If safe search is enough:
If you are already using the option to Disable Google Encrypted Search and "force safe search" is enough restriction for your users, you do not need to do anything. The Rocket already has everything in place to transition to the new Google offering as they release this. The documentation for disabling Google encrypted search can be found here. When this is turned on, users who Google search will be redirected to encrypted servers but will have Force Safe Search on.
If you require more restrictions and reporting:
Because the connection will be encrypted this will have an impact on any web filter's ability to manipulate Google searches. For Lightspeed Systems Web Filter Rockets running in transparent bridge mode, you will continue to have the ability to force safe search through Google's new offering but you will no longer be able to restrict or report on users' search or image search queries. To retain the current level of Google search reporting and restriction, you should use the Lightspeed Systems Web Filter in proxy mode. It is possible to configure this so that only the Google traffic is proxied and does not require you to proxy all of your encrypted web traffic. We have an example of how to create a PAC file here and configure a proxy server here.
We continue to work closely with Google to ensure that our customers and all schools have the best and safest access to valuable Web resources. If you have questions about your specific implementation, our Support team would be happy to assist you.

The multi award-winning John Malkovich returns to the West End stage after nearly 30 years to play Barney Fein, a top dog Hollywood producer in Bitter Wheat, a new play by the legendary author, director and playwright David Mamet. It will preview at the Garrick Theatre on Friday 7th June 2019 and will be directed by Mamet.
Malkovich, one of the world's most revered actors, is best known for his many films including Dangerous Liaisons, Being John Malkovich, Con Air and Mulholland Drive. He recently received widespread critical acclaim playing Hercule Poirot in a new BBC TV Agatha Christie adaptation.
The Pulitzer prize winning David Mamet has written some of the most iconic plays of the last 50 years including Sexual Perversity in Chicago, American Buffalo, Glengarry Glen Ross, Speed-the-Plow, and Oleanna.
Doon Mackichan, who is well known for her extensive TV work which includes creating and starring in the hit comedy series Smack the Pony for Channel 4, Knowing Me, Knowing You with Alan Partridge, Plebs for ITV2 and Two Doors Down for the BBC, will play Barney Fein's assistant, Sondra.
Ioanna Kimbook will make her debut theatre performance in Bitter Wheat as Yung Kim Li. Further casting is to be announced.
Hollywood is a hell hole.
Everything in Hollywood is for sale except the awards, which are for rent.
Bitter Wheat is a play about a depraved Hollywood mogul. It rips the pashmina off the suppurating wound which is show business, and leaves us better human beings, and fitter to once more confront the horror of life.
Our hero, Barney Fein, is a bloated monster- a studio head, who, like his predecessor, the minotaur, devours the young he has lured to his cave.
His fall from power to shame is a mythic journey which has been compared to The Odyssey by people who claim to have read that book.
A new play starring John Malkovich, written and directed by David Mamet in a good mood.
Funnier than The Iceman Cometh, more chaos than Richard III, and without all the stupid, so-called 'poetry'.
Money, sex, power, you only need one of them to see Bitter Wheat - at the Garrick.
Joining Mamet on the creative team are designer Christopher Oram and lighting designer Neil Austin.
Bitter Wheat is produced by Jeffrey Richards and Smith & Brant Theatricals.

Obvious Signs That Show You're in a Toxic Relationship
Nobody ever said dating was easy. Dating is hard work, and that's just the smooth relationships. A toxic relationship is extremely difficult to deal with and it can be very draining. But knowing that you're in a toxic relationship can make all the difference and be the first step towards your healing process.
As a Dating Expert, I can tell you that just because you love someone it doesn't mean they're the right person for you. If your partner is causing you distress, it might be time to do something about it. Here are some ways to know that you're in a toxic relationship.
The Clear Hints
There are several key things to look out for if you suspect you might be involved in a toxic relationship. These can include constant rowing over small issues or jealousy and trust Issues. Even worse is when the other person is constantly putting you down or making you feel like you aren't good enough. This is bullying and it's completely unacceptable behaviour. Spending time in an unhealthy relationship on a daily basis will naturally start to make you unwell and angry. It wears you down. You'll have unresolved issues that will start to eat away at you and it can make you deeply unhappy.
Avoid Projecting Your Frustration Onto Others
To make things worse, instead of dealing with your issues in a healthy way, you may start to resent your partner and take your frustration out on them. And this does not help either of you. Also, seeing you so upset is going to cause your partner pain, too. This will become a vicious circle, one that's very hard to escape.
Don't Let Fear Hold You Back
I often see clients who tell me how awful their relationship with their partner is, but they are scared to leave. That's usually because they fear being single again or living on their own. So they make excuses for the bad treatment they are receiving and even blame themselves. If you fit into this category, it can end up completely destroying your confidence and self worth.
The things you think about most will shape your life. If you are unhappy and in a negative environment, you'll take on these characteristics. If you find this is happening to you then you have to consider the long term effect it's going to have if you keep on going the way you are. No matter how much you might love your partner, nobody is worth you destroying your health and peace of mind. You should definitely not stay with someone because you're afraid to be alone. You will meet someone who treats you better. Someone who treats you with love and respect. It's easy to find new dates nowadays, especially with so many online dating sites and opportunities to meet new people. Once you get out of a toxic relationship you'll become stronger, happier, more confident and will never look back. I promise!

They might not be the most clever duo in the world, but they always run to the cage door when they hear me coming home. They are crazy social, they never bite, instead your hand gets attacked by smooches. It doesn't matter if you're a stranger, they love you anyway.
Here they are, ladies and gentlemen:
Lilla Grå (Little grey)and Annabelle caught my heart right away, one sleeping in the foodbowl making it impossible for her siblings to eat and the other one running straight up to me when I leaned down to look into their cage at the store.
It is actually impossible not to love my monsters. When I visit my mom, who is incredibly scared of my ratsies, even she can't resist the urge to sneak them some yummy apple-pieces or cookie-crumbs. She denies it, but for some reason my rats always go back home with me a little chubbier than when we left.
But no one is perfect. Lilla Grå hates sharing food with her sister and Annabelle is probably the only rat in the world with claustrophobia. The cause is probably something that happened about 2 months after I got them:
I had these colorful pipes for the rats to run around in, which had worked great when they were tiny, but rats grow fast (apparently to fast for themselves to realize) and one day I found Annabelle in the middle of a pipe - completely stuck. I had to take it all apart completely and kind of wiggle her out of there, which took almost an hour. Poor thing.
Anyway, they are my babies that I can't imagine ever having lived without. Do you have an animal that means the world to you?
Don't run with scissors.

Lost River is a disturbing, but beautifully crafted film by Ryan Gosling. It is about a fictional decaying city named Lost River. It was filmed on location in Detroit. Somehow, knowing that makes the the movie more poignant. The empty factories, abandoned houses and deserted office buildings were not sets created for the movie, but are scenes of modern-day Detroit.
However, unlike Detroit, Lost River is not decaying due to the collapse of the auto industry. The town of Lost River is suffering from a curse. Decades ago, a dam was built, which created a lake that flooded large sections of the city. Entire streets and even a dinosaur amusement park are under the lake. Local myth has it that the curse will be lifted if anyone is brave enough to dive in the lake and recover a piece of the submerged city.
Anyone with any intelligence or skills has long ago left Lost River. The people who remain are the poor trying to scratch out whatever living they can; and various evil people who prey on the poor.
Saoirse Ronan plays "Rat", a young woman who has stayed in the city only to take care of her grandmother who refuses to leave. Her best friend and next door neighbor is "Bones" (played by Iain De Caestecker). "Bones" is trying to survive by ripping copper pipes out of abandoned buildings and selling them for scrap.
His scavenging brings him into direct conflict with "Bully", the film's villain, who has declared that all the copper in abandoned buildings belongs to him. Bully is excellently played by Matt Smith. Bully is not huge or muscular, but the fact that he is completely insane makes him truly frighting.
At least Bully is honest about being a predator on the weak. However, there is a second class of predators. These are the few remaining wealthy people who have an underground club for "performance art" that is actually a place where attractive, poor young women degrade themselves for the amusement of the onlookers.
"Billy" (played by Christina Hendricks ) who is the mother or Bones is forced to perform at this club, in order to earn enough money to keep their house from being repossessed by the bank. She is lead into this situation by a banker who pretends he is actually helping her by giving her the job.
The banker, Dave Played by Ben Mendelson, is undoubtedly one of the strangest people you will see in any movie. He sets up these sadistic fantastic clubs in every city he visits in his banking career. We can only hope that this is not what actual executives do when they leave the bank at night.
Most reviewers did not like this movie, and we have some mixed feelings about it. In the U.S. there are some decaying towns and parts of certain cities where the only people left are the very poor and the people who take advantage of them. We think the movie would have been better if had focused on real people like that in real situations.
Instead, the film "went off the deep end" trying to be overly artistic by creating strange characters and bizarre situations. Most of the characters were so unreal that the writers did not even bother to give them real names. After all, the main characters are named "Rat", and "Bones", while the bad guy, of course, is named "Bully."
However, we will give Ryan Gosling credit for making an exciting film. As strange as these characters are, you need to know what is going to happen to them. Is there a way out for these people, or are they simply doomed?
We do recommend this film. It is exciting to watch, although we will warn you that some of the scenes are disturbing. It is certainly a movie you will never forget.
We give this film Four Stars ****

Google has launched a new program in the US, AdWords Express, making it easier for local businesses to start utlising search advertising.
Google AdWords Express has been specifically designed for the small business owner who wants to stand out in their local community, but does not want to spend a huge amount of money in search advertising.
It is essentially a hugely slimmed-down version of Google AdWords, allowing small businesses to promote themselves and their locations – with a heavy emphasis on getting a listing in Google Maps.
Google AdWords Express offers a simple and fast option for small business owners, and specifically those who have no prior experience or knowledge in search, or pay-per click advertising.
The program really is ideal for a small business that want to be present if someone is looking for a service in their local area. It is not ideal for companies with more than one shop, or who are primarily looking to get a huge boost in online traffic.
Google has said that the setup process is straightforward and takes 'under five minutes'. The Google AdWords express techonology has been built to create just a handful of ads for a business, and automatically manages them.
Adwords Express lets business owners write their own advert. This means that you can choose your headline, what information about your small business is detailed in the copy and whether or not you wish to include a telephone number.
Even if you don't have a website you can allow your adverts to link to a Google Places listing where more information such as opening hours could be detailed.
Adwords Express has been tested before under the name of Boost, but now has been released officially in the US. Google has not confirmed a release date for the United Kingdom yet, but we are sure it won't be long.
Here at Croud we think it's a great step for Google in their drive to help smaller businesses advertise online.
However these adverts will only get a business so far. With Google managing and optimising the account automatically and behind the scenes, there is no opportunity to gain key learnings about what your customers look for online and how they find you.
Croud's proposition is all about human interaction. We value our team's skills in search advertising and are confident that we can bring valuable experience and results to your business on a broader scale.

Ed Levine's Serious Diet, Week 99: Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, Serious Eaters
All right, all right, serious eaters. I am going to dispense with the usual blow-by-blow, bite-by-bite, food-by-food description of all the temptations I've been confronted by this holiday season, because let's face it, you've already heard most of it. And frankly, I'm sure all of you are tempted by the same kinds of things this holiday season.
Everyone is confronted by too many cookies, too much chocolate, too many baked goods of every stripe imaginable, too many mini quiches, too many spiced nuts, too much eggnog, too many pigs in a blanket, and too many seriously delicious things in general. In fact, I'd like you to tell me what you have had the hardest time resisting this holiday season (for me, it's been sugar and spiced nuts)
In the meantime I just want to take this opportunity to wish all serious eaters happy holidays and a merry Christmas. May all of you eat lots of seriously delicious food this holiday season. In moderation, of course. I also want to give a holiday shout-out to all the serious eaters who listen to and support my serious diet. I don't want to get too sappy or sentimental on you, but I will say knowing you're out there helps a lot.
It's been a rough week because of all the reasons I've outlined above, but I'm still going to get on the scale after the jump.
The Weigh-In
The scale says 222. Up a pound from last week, but down two pounds from the middle of the week, when the holiday munching and noshing was just too much. So overall I'll take it. I don't like it, but I'll take it.
Merry Christmas and happy holidays, serious eaters!

Claim Over Interpreter for Deaf Patient Revived
(CN) – A deaf man can pursue claims against a Nevada doctor who allegedly refused to provide a sign-language interpreter to his deaf wife before she died of cancer, the 9th Circuit ruled Thursday.
The federal complaint in Las Vegas alleges that the Pahrump-based Desert View Regional Medical Center and Dr. Georges Tannoury consistently and for several years refused to provide an American Sign Language interpreter for Charlene Ervine's appointments. Charlene's husband, Sie, is also deaf.
U.S. District Judge James Mahan ruled for the defendants, however, finding the widower missed the two-year deadline for filing. Mahan reasoned that Ervine should have filed his claims within two years of the first time he and his wife were denied an interpreter, which was in August 2007. Ervine filed his suit in 2010, a year after Charlene's death.
The complaint alleges failure to communicate effectively with a deaf person under the federal Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act.
A three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit revived the Rehabilitation Act claims Thursday.
"So long as an alleged violation of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act is a discrete and independently wrongful discriminatory act, it causes a new claim to accrue and a new limitations period to run," Judge Diarmuid O'Scannlain wrote for the panel. "A claim under the act will not be untimely merely because similar, even identical, violations of the act occurred outside the statutory period."
O'Scannlain added that "at least one alleged discriminatory act appears to have taken place in November 2008, within the limitations period."
The San Francisco-based panel affirmed judgment against Ervine as to the ADA claim, finding that he lacked standing. Because the lower court had found the ADA claims untimely, the panel remanded for dismissal.

In just over 40 years, Abu Dhabi has evolved from a small fishing community to the largest and most populated of the seven Emirates of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). With the vision and direction from His Highness the late Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the environment has become an intrinsic part of the heritage and traditions of the people of the UAE.
I'm standing knee-high in mud. wishing I had worn wellies not flip-flops. A cavern of mangrove branches blocks Abu Dhabi's summer skies, and tiny crabs skitter over my bare feet. I'm spending the morning in the mangroves learning about some of the sampling methods that were recently used as part of the groundbreaking "Blue Carbon' project. Launched by the Abu Dhabi Global Environmental Initiative (AGEDI) and supported by the Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi (EAD) Blue Carbon refers to the capital's special coastal ecosystems that comprise mangrove forests, seagrass meadows and saltwater marshlands.

I'm definitely a fan of "routines." They make life easier. Especially in the morning, when I am basically a zombie until my coffee kicks my butt into gear. So breakfast routines are a must. BUT... routines can also easily become ruts. Since breakfast is the most important meal of the day, we don't want to fall into a breakfast rut. I may have been teetering on the edge of a rut with my smoothie obsession. Granted, with three amazing smoothie recipes (1, 2, 3) to choose from, I probably would have been okay, but luckily I didn't have to wait to see, because I found a new AMAZING breakfast option. And guess what?! It has quinoa in it. As if I didn't need another reason to love quinoa! Now, we already know that quinoa is good for breakfast. But this just takes it to a whole new level of awesome with blueberries, peaches, and hazelnuts and a lovely, creamy, sweet and tangy maple syrup and Greek yogurt dressing. How can that not be delicious?!
Blueberry Quinoa Breakfast SaladAdapted from the Kitchn
1 cup quinoa
1/2 lemon, zest and juice
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup 2% plain Greek yogurt (or soy yogurt, if you want to make this vegan)
Dash of nutmeg
1 cup hazelnuts, roughly chopped and toasted
1/4 cup whole flax seeds
1 cup blueberries or mixed berries
1-2 peaches, diced
Cook your quinoa according to the directions. (Usually 1 cup quinoa plus 2 cups water, bring to a boil, then turn down the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes.) Allow the quinoa to cool after cooking!
Whisk together lemon zest, lemon juice, maple syrup, Greek yogurt, and nutmeg. Set aside until the quinoa has cooled.
Toast the hazelnuts at 375°F for about 3-5 minutes.
Mix together quinoa, flax seeds, blueberries, and hazelnuts. Pour yogurt dressing over and stir well to combine. Add the diced peaches just before serving. The flavors meld together best if you leave this overnight in the fridge before eating, but don't add the peaches if you are storing it in the fridge.

The word "discover" is always a misnomer when used by travelers: when a place is new to you, that doesn't mean it's new to everyone else. This was reinforced recently in the midst of my excitement exploring a dynamic midsize city close to where I live in Los Angeles, one with roughly the population of Miami or Kansas City. No, I'm not referring to San Diego nor Palm Springs.
I'm talking about Long Beach, Calif., a port city less than 20 miles south of downtown Los Angeles. It's got a cute and compact downtown, good food, ethnic and cultural diversity, a thriving L.G.B.T. community, and some unparalleled wildlife viewing opportunities. It is, in short, a city entirely worthy of anyone's time — and I have no one to blame but myself for not realizing it sooner. I spent a few days last month exploring Long Beach by foot, car and bike, and left feeling like I had plenty more to explore. Even better, I was able to have a great time without spending much cash.
Long Beach certainly thrives on ocean culture but, contrary to what its name might imply, the draw isn't necessarily surf and sand — there are better beaches nearby. Instead, expect to enjoy the shoreline in other ways: waterside eating and drinking establishments, boat trips and bike rides along the ocean.
Two of Long Beach's biggest tourist draws, just south of downtown, are the docked RMS Queen Mary, a 1930s-era ocean liner that once served as an Allied troop ferry during World War II, and the Aquarium of the Pacific, with marine science and conservation programs, right on Rainbow Harbor. Both are worthy attractions (I visited the Queen Mary a few years ago) but I headed to the area with a different goal in mind — I'd heard Long Beach was fantastic for whale and dolphin watching, and I wanted in.
I picked up a Groupon for Harbor Breeze Cruises, spending just $36.80 for two tickets (down from a walk-up price of $90) for a 150-minute ocean cruise and whale-watching tour. My girlfriend and I boarded the big catamaran hoping for the best.
It didn't look good initially. Undulating gently in the Pacific Ocean with a couple dozen other locals and tourists, we were treated to little more than a pleasure cruise during the first two-thirds of the trip. But then those of us on deck heard it — the distinctive sound of air and water blasting through a whale's blowhole, like a short burst of television static.
From our location about halfway between the shore and Santa Catalina Island, we spotted two long, slender, grayish bodies of fin whales, the second largest mammals on earth, bobbing gently like apples in a barrel at 2 o'clock off the starboard bow. Each emitted a powerful blast or two from their blowholes before disappearing under the water with little warning — our guide on board explained that fin whales don't make a big show of their tails before taking a deep dive.
We spotted a few groups of two to three whales, then cruised for another few minutes to a different spot, where we saw at least a half-dozen more. The massive and enchanting creatures lolled gently before snorting indignantly a few times and submerging; they seemed entirely unconcerned with us humans. As a bonus sighting, a pod of dolphins joined alongside our boat on the way back to shore.
Long Beach's outdoor delights can be enjoyed by boat, but perhaps a more terrestrial approach is your thing. I used the Social Bicycles app (now owned by Uber, if that matters to you) to buy some time on the Long Beach bikeshare network, which is fairly extensive, with hubs throughout the city. The per-hour rental cost is $7, and I took advantage of an offer that gives a free hour with the purchase of three.
The interface was temperamental, but I eventually was able to rent a bike and enjoy a ride along Junipero Beach. Salty sea air and ocean views aside, it was also a good vantage point for one of Long Beach's offshore historical oddities: the THUMS oil islands. In the 1960s, following a lift on a drilling ban, American energy companies spent $22 million on a series of artificial islands to extract oil from beneath the harbor. You wouldn't know it by looking at them: the islands look like shopping malls from shore, with extraction facilities masked by phony building facades. You can't visit them, but they're an odd and interesting footnote in the area's long history with the oil industry.
Getting back to things you can visit: The Earl Burns Miller Japanese Garden, on the Cal State University Long Beach campus, is a respite of tranquillity, with koi, ducks and beautiful landscaping. Admission is $5, but I was allowed in for free since I arrived close to the garden's closing time. Alamitos Park, at the end of the Alamitos Peninsula, isn't a huge green space, but has a calming energy and is a nice place to walk or bike to.
Much of Long Beach is quite walkable, and one of the most fun areas to explore, on East 4th Street near Cherry Avenue, happens to have a number of excellent vintage and thrift shops packed into just a couple of blocks. The nonprofit AIDS Assistance Thrift Store is a good place to start, with a mountain of secondhand merch for treasure-seekers, ranging from old paintings to furniture. Assistance League of Long Beach Thrift and Vintage Shop is another good one, selling $4 shirts and $12 suits; I picked up a pair of shoes for $8.
A few other stores fall more into the vintage (not thrift) category: curated collections that are slightly pricier. Past and Present is an eclectic shop definitely worth popping into, with everything from old Disney merchandise to glassware and board games. Most of it isn't cheap, but there is a shelf with $10 shirts and $5 art prints. Meow is another good vintage store, specializing in accessories and apparel never previously sold or used. And La Bomba may have been my favorite, if only for the cute little dog there that snoozes among the piles of old clothes and shoes.
Over at The Hangout, another place on East 4th, I struck up a conversation with Marissa Baklayan, a stylist and photographer who was working at the shop. We chatted for a bit about The Hangout's decidedly singular concept — succulents and ice cream — and I asked her how she liked Long Beach. "Everyone here knows each other, especially in this neighborhood," she said.
Across the street at the fast casual restaurant The HipPea, where I picked up a good falafel sandwich ($7.99), one of the employees, a nice guy named Brian, echoed a similar sentiment, but added that a lack of rent control has become problematic. Rents have indeed risen sharply in Long Beach in recent years as people have realized it's a progressive and diverse community that's cheaper than many neighboring coastal cities. The resulting gentrification threatens the livelihoods of some renters, including many of the city's nonwhite and L.G.B.T. residents.
For years, Long Beach has had a reputation as one of the nation's most gay-friendly cities. The Alamitos Beach neighborhood has pride flags flying outside numerous bars and restaurants, and rainbow crosswalks are painted in intersections along East Broadway. I spent a very enjoyable karaoke night at Executive Suite, an L.G.B.T.-friendly nightclub in the Zaferia neighborhood northeast of downtown. The club takes a creative approach to incentivize patrons to perform, awarding $2 tokens, redeemable at the bar, per song sung for up to three songs. One of the owners, Lenny Sinatra, deftly ran the show.
Also in Zaferia is Joe Jost's, a 1920s-era tavern that looks like it hasn't changed much since it opened — which is just how the regulars like it. I struck up a conversation with Doug Pricer, a local writer and historian who explained to me the interesting history of Zaferia, which was once its own town, and its relationship to Long Beach, which was a dry city even before Prohibition. "Zaferia used to be wet when Long Beach was dry," he said.
When I visited, Cathleen Buck, the wife of Ken Buck, the owner (and Joe Jost's grandson), was busy in the large back room. I ordered a Coors Light ($2.60) and a Joe's Special, a nicely spiced Polish sausage with Swiss cheese and a pickle on rye bread ($3.45) and a mountain of pretzels and spicy yellow chilies. Ms. Buck and I chatted while I noshed on a pickled egg ($1.35), another of Joe Jost's signature snacks.
If you're looking for more of a meal, I'd recommend heading to Cambodia Town, centered around a roughly mile-long stretch of East Anaheim Street and home to one of the largest Cambodian populations outside of Asia. At Riverside Supermarket, just west of Cherry Avenue, you can pick up hot food as well as groceries. I bought a container of mixed-seafood sour soup for $4.99 that was sharp and tangy. You can pick up plants outside the market as well — I bought a jasmine bush for $10 and a rice paddy herb plant, called ma om in Khmer, for just $3. Another day, I picked up an order of pad kee mao ($8.25) from Tasty Food to Go, a small restaurant specializing in Thai and Lao cuisine.
I was equally happy with the variety of different cultural activities I sampled, beginning with the Museum of Latin American Art ($10 admission), an institution dedicated to the support of Latino and Latin American art and artists. I enjoyed the exhibit "El Exploratorio," which focused on the intersection of art, science and technology. A standout was Linda Vallejo's "Datos Sagrados," which wove together mesmerizing pictographs with data about Latino immigration.
At the Long Beach Playhouse, I took in a show — a solidly acted performance of Lynn Nottage's "Crumbs From the Table of Joy," which explores issues of adolescence, race and religion in the life of a black family in 1950s New York City ($20). Afterward, I headed to Ballast Point, an absurdly large brewpub with great views on the Alamitos Bay Marina. I picked up a Moscow Mule sour beer ($5) and got lost on one of the property's patios. Sipping on the gingery drink, I plotted my next visit: My to-do list was barely halfway done. Long Beach, it seemed, demanded — and deserved — more attention.

Are you ready for another family classic?
This recipe is something my grandma cooked and my mom cooked and I cook ALL summer long…and sometimes in the winter and in-between. In Russia it's called "Baklajannaya Ikra" or "Eggplant Caviar". Surprisingly enough the recipe is almost identical to French Ratatouille. There is also Sicilian Caponata that is oh so similar with an addition of olives and capers. After travelling the world and discovering all the food similarities you realise we are a lot more connected than we think.
This dish is incredibly flavourful and so versatile. It's eaten as a warm side dish or as a tasty topping for your crusty bread, a favourite with Russian children. As a little girl I remember eating it cold with bread for an afternoon snack. I still love doing it but Brad really prefers it warm so you are going to discover for yourself which way is your favourite.
- Eggplant-2 medium
- Zucchini-2-3 medium
- Onions-2
- Red, yellow, green peppers( I use whatever I have on hand)-2
- Garlic-2-3 cloves
- Parsley- 1/2 bunch
- Cilantro-1/2 bunch
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- Ketchup or tomato paste-1 tbsp.
- Olive oil-2 tbsp.
There is a long version and a speedy version. The long one involves slicing eggplant, putting it in a colander and sprinkling it with salt and letting it sit for an hour under a heavy weight. That draws bitterness and extra moisture out. It really does. However, I often skip that step and never regret it. If you decided to skip the first step as well the dish will take a bit longer to cook. Lately I've been using a cast iron casserole which cuts the cooking time in half. After years of not wanting to spend the money I finally broke down and bought an Ikea version (still can't bring myself to pay the Le Creuset price tag) and I've never been happier. A cast iron pot is truly a must have tool for every kitchen. Now I have a small size and a big size and 3 skillets!
Back to our Eggplant caviar. Dice your onions, eggplant, zucchini, red or green peppers, set aside. Preheat the olive oil in a heavy casserole type dish and add onions and peppers first, let them saute over medium heat for about 5 minutes and then add your eggplant. Eggplants takes longer to cook than zucchini so if you put them together zucchini will turn into a mush and eggplants will still be spongy. Cook eggplant together with onions and peppers until it's nearly done, about 7 minutes, then add zucchini, parsley, cilantro, minced garlic and a tablespoon of ketchup. Here is my confession, I never cook with ketchup, I don't even like it but I found it gives this dish just a right amount of sweetness! You can add some tomato paste, it's up to you. Cook it for 5-10 minutes longer.
You will see quite a bit of liquid after you've added zucchini, at this point you can turn the heat up and cook it down or keep it a vegetable stew consistency. Mine varies depending on how I feel or how hungry my family is!
The batch right here was pretty dry and perfect to use as a bruschetta topping.
The recipe given here is a basic recipe that you could be altered by adding any other vegetables that you like.
Just a few examples of what I've done in the past: At various times I've added green peas (frozen), asparagus, green beans, carrots, potatoes, chick peas and red kidney beans. They all work well. Play with it and find your favourite combo!

Being "nice" never works.
Well nice is great, but OVERLY NICE, is such a turn off. Being syrupy sweet is just as a big of a turn off as being overly aggressive. It gets to the point of creepiness, like Tau said. Too much of anything isn't good. I can speak for myself and many women and say that we tend to like men who are nice with AN EDGE, not necessarily a 'badboy', but a sweet man that is a little rough around the edges. I like to feel safe and loved. A man with the perfect balance of strength and tenderness. That gets my engine running. An overly sweet, spineless nice guy is not for me. It is no wonder many of these types of guys end up in the friend zone category. And then complain that women want the 'thugs' and 'badboys'. Uh no, we want confidence and a backbone.
When I was younger, a friends with benefits arrangement sounded fine, but once I became older, I yearn to spend the rest of my life with someone. Sex is extremely easy to find for a woman, but a lasting love is the hardest of all. Too many men of this generation aren't even trying anymore; they don't want to put any effort into a relationship, let alone marriage. Haha, marriage! And much of it comes down to fear and/or the belief that most women aren't for shit, even if the woman treats him with love and respect. Sad to say. It's not easy in this dating world, and as I have become older, I have lost my optimism for the world. I still have hope, but not optimism.
