- outstandingPhillyPhoodieDined on 5/11/2014Our server's reccs were right on. The appetizer in the rice cracker with the clams and meat filling was delicious.

- Great Date NightChamaDined on 5/3/2014Food was outstanding! Service was great. Most importantly the price was very reasonable. This is going to be my new favorite restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best All AroundDinersFromDCVIPDined on 5/3/2014On our arrival we were given a warm welcome by John who was also our main waiter. He had a great personality, was charming and helped us order a spectacular meal! A few things we really loved because of their bursting flavors: pineapple salad, the minced clams, the short ribs and the vermicelli noodles. We still had five entrees as well one more delicious than the other. This was not the typical Vietnamese restaurant with golden Buddhas and live octopus swimming around in your soup. We also had two other servers, Ivy and Kevin who were equally as delightful as John offering us big smiles and family recipes! A fantastic team of servers, delicious food and a very nice setting made Le Viet a most enjoyable dining experience in PhillySpecial Features:
- a123VIPDined on 4/29/2014We arrived for reservation and there was group being led by a person with a loudspeaker directing a painting class! Not exactly what we expected so we left.
- Group DiningSouthernfoodie82Dined on 4/26/2014Le Viet is a great place for groups. We had a group of 18 people and the staff was very accommodating. The food was excellent as always. We would recommend this place if you love food and looking for a kid friendly restaurant!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Authentic, not all the way thereCatNDined on 4/18/2014I'm Vietnamese American and grew up on the authentic Viet restaurants on these few blocks of Washington Avenue. I go to Le Viet because the flavors are authentic. I hate that there are so few fresh vegetable dishes (basically you have to order 1 of the 3 appetizer slaws if you want a veggie dish, which is an important component in Viet meals). They didn't allow addition of pork to the clay pot fish, which is a standard request that has been accommodated here before and would be at any other place. Server failed to tell us what beers they were out of before drink orders, which I wouldnt expect in a mom-pop Viet place but would if you're shooting for a nicer establishment (and sacrificing pork in the Kho to)! Not quite there yet.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awesome Vietnamese!LeopardprintDined on 4/9/2014Great setting, service and delicious food. Servings smaller than normal Vietnamese so get an appetizer. The pork bun sliders are Amazing. Good cocktails. Great vermicelli. Really reasonably priced. Will be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Outstanding all aroundDyDuoVIPDined on 4/5/2014This restaurant is phenomenal. The food is creative and always delicious. Highlights include the quail with lime and pepper sauce, the clam and ground beef app that is served in an eatable bowl made of sesame crackers, the beef and asparagus, pad thai, and all the vermicelli options. The servers are kind, efficient, and so sweet. We love this place and go at least twice a month for the most reasonable meal in the city. We have never, ever been disappointed and always leave feeling like we just had one of the healthier meals we could have had with the hundreds of restaurants we have to choose from. Sam the manager runs a tight ship and does and amazing job. This is a must if you want the best Vietnamese-Thai food in Philly!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- tastyjudyDined on 3/29/2014Very tasty, especially appetizers. Service very efficient.Special Features:
- unexpected gemphoodieVIPDined on 3/2/2014Le Viet was a last minute decision rather late on a rainy Sunday night, and it turned out to be a truly lovely experience. The atmosphere and decor are very sleek and modern, in stark contrast to what you might expect from a Vietnamese restaurant in Chinatown or South Philly. The staff was so pleasant and accommodating without being overbearing. And the food was delicious. We got one of the clay pot dishes, in which with fresh ginger was balanced with savory flavor and perfectly cooked white fish. A crab and rice noodle soup was perfect to warm us up from the weather. The inexpensive bill was also well received. My only suggestion for improvement is with the wine list, particularly if they are trying to go for a more upscale feel.
- Great, affordable food! Service OK.dylemaDined on 2/28/2014We had a party here celebrating two birthdays. The food was excellent and the staff accommodated our large group of 12. Only one minor mishap, one person got served the wrong clay pot. The server delivered the right clay pot to her, so my friend gave the remainder of what she hadn't eaten to the guy who did order it - then the server came back to the table and it back from him because we "weren't paying for it." Kinda weird - aren't they just going to throw it away? Also we were not allowed to pay with more than 2 credit cards - but they did split our checks for us which was nice. Luckily for those of us who did not bring cash, there is a CVS next door with an ATM. Le Viet beef slider for an appetizer was tasty, as was the beef chow fun.Special Features:

- PERFECT!merdealorsDined on 2/8/2014This is not the first time open table asks for a feedback once we have been to this restaurant Le Viet, so I do not want to repeat my blabla. I am simply happy that it is still PERFECT.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointedScottVIPDined on 1/31/2014Went with 5 friends and we were all let down. Service was mediocre at best: having to ask for more water gets annoying, non-mixed drinks took about 15 minutes, food was brought out to everyone except one person which is odd, and there were charges in the bill for items we didn't order. A restaurant's poor service can be redeemed by good food but unfortunately that was not the case. The meat in the pho was closer to what we saw in Vietnam rather than America (sounds authentic but it's definitely not desirable). Pork buns were way over cooked and the buns were rock solid on the bottom. Shorts ribs were more bone and fat than anything else. Stick to "Vietnam" in Chinatown or any of the 5 other places on Washington ave. not recommended.
- healthy and wonderfulMoogieVIPDined on 1/19/2014La Viet is a wonderful little gem. Right next to CVS, who would have thought. We had a wonderful dinner there. Everything was seasoned to perfection. Very friendly waiters.Special Features:
- Never DisappointsLili51Dined on 12/31/2013Le Viet is in my neighborhood so I have been there several times. The food is delicious and the service excellent. Everything I have ordered has been amazing. I went for New Year's Eve dinner; excellent and so inexpensive. We had the watercress salad, healthy watercress, crunch from peanuts and a delicious dressing. For dinner we ordered 3 entrees and shared; charbroiled shrimp, fried shrimp dish and the seasonal vegetables. Veggies and greens are a must for me and these are substantial, broccoli, bok choy, mushrooms, onion, and more in a yummy sauce. We both ate more than we planned and left full and satisfied. This place is a gem!Special Features:
- we went to vietnam over theOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 12/28/2013we went to vietnam over the summer and missed the wonderful food and people. the food at Le Viet was spectacular and it was just like being back in Vietnam. Awesome playlist of music and the service was excellent.Special Features:
- Reasonable prices in a pretty spaceSmmphdVIPDined on 11/23/2013When we first arrived, the servers were disorganized and no one seemed to know whose table we were. But as the meal got going, things smoothed out. The food was very good and hardly any more than you would pay to eat under glaring fluorescent lights on Formica tables elsewhere in the neighborhood.I would recommend this to a friend.
- The best Vietnamese in town!merdealorsDined on 11/16/2013Easy to find, easy to park for free near the restaurant, modern attractive facade, welcoming and efficient staff, comfortable and spacious seating areas, booths, perfect lighting, great acoustic, large menu, large drinks choices... but the best is the cooking. The best vegetable fried rice that I have been looking for for a while, spicy authentic soups, good portion sizes, good prices, you will want to come back and explore the menu furthermore. Great evening there!Special Features:

- the menu is expansive - veryinteresSethVIPDined on 9/28/2013the menu is expansive - veryinteresting choices. We had some appitizers, the sliders were crazy good. Overall for our first visit to a Vietnameese resturant we were very happy and will return. Parking is a challange though.Special Features:
- Delicious FlavorsOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/26/2013We went during Restaurant Week for dinner and enjoyed three courses sharing the chicken slider, Pho with beef, tofu with seasonal vegetables and Vietnamese flan. Everything was delicious and the restaurant, while uncrowded, was interestingly decorated with dark woods and cherry blossoms. We made a special trip from the suburbs to visit Le Viet and would gladly do so again.Special Features:
- Delicious food with very low priceOpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 9/21/2013This is one of our favorite restaurant. We took a guest there for dinner around 6:30PM. It was Restaurant Week, but ordering three-course meal was not required. I love to make my own Tofu spring rolls in rice wrap with peanut sauce. My partner loves pan-seared salmon with mango source plus peanut sauce. Our guest ordered a three-course meal for only $16.95. For the main course, she ordered Pho, noodle soup. She emptied the whole bowl without leaving a drop. The deemed light and the design in the restaurant creates the romantic ambiance, but it could be very noisy though when it is full.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best Vietnamese food in PhillyOpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 8/24/2013Delicious and big portions of food with moderate or reasonable price. We are regular customers for dinner, never disappointed.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

I invited friends for a birthday celebration. Everyone had a great time. A wonderful place for a big group gathering.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Green Bean Salad with Almonds
"Shocking" the cooked green beans in ice water prevents them from overcooking, preserving their bright-green color. The tamari almonds are delicious -- you may want to make extra for snacking.
Get MoreSubscribe to Martha Stewart Living
- 1/2 cup whole roasted almonds
- 2 tablespoons tamari
- 1 1/2 pounds green beans, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped roughly (optional)
Step 1
Place almonds in a small nonstick saute pan. Lightly toast over medium-high heat, about 3 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon tamari and stir until the almonds are coated evenly, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate and cool. Chop almonds roughly.
Step 2
Prepare a large bowl of ice water. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook beans until crisp-tender, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Step 3
Drain the beans and transfer to the bowl of ice water. Remove green beans and drain well.
Step 4
In a large bowl, combine the sesame oil, vinegar, garlic, ginger, and remaining 1 tablespoon of tamari. Add the drained green beans and toss to coat. Garnish with roasted almonds and fresh cilantro, if desired. Serve immediately, while warm.

This is a delicious side dish! I made this and took it to a potluck where the guests could not get enough of it. That was a year ago, and I have made it three times since. I'm always sad when we've eaten the last of it. If using dry powdered ginger then cut way back: 1/8 tsp dry = 1 tbsp fresh, so 2/3 of 1/8 tsp = 1/12 tsp, or a very tiny bit!Reply

Review: Lisa Marie Presley impresses
NATICK - Lisa Marie Presley pushed aside the sticks and stones of critics Friday night, solidly rocking The Verve at the Natick Crowne Plaza with her five-member band and a talent all her own.
Wailing away on a pair of drums with felt mallets at times, the daughter of the king of rock 'n' roll revealed an edgy, haunting blues sound to which she adds a touch of the Go-Go's. She was confident in her singing and has formed a tight-knit musical family that includes her husband, guitarist and musical director Michael Lockwood; keyboardist/vocalist and former Bigelf member Damon Fox; drummer John Sands; Jamison Hollister on mandolin/pedal steel; and Luis Maldonado on electric bass/vocals.
During the 75-minute set Presley featured mostly songs from her latest album, "Storm & Grace," a solid endeavor produced by T Bone Burnett, including memorable renditions of "Over Me," "So Long," and "Sticks and Stones." Keyboardist Fox, and Lockwood with his colorful series of Gretsch hollow-body guitars, juiced things up just enough without stealing the show from its star.
Live From Graceland!
Lisa Marie Presley performs in Graceland's Jungle Room
Sitting in a chair, lights and cameras pointed at her, Lisa Marie Presley involuntarily twitches when a soundman's boom microphone accidentally hits the ornate chandelier hanging overhead, just outside camera range.
She is sitting dead center, smack in the heart of Graceland — and however controlled, is giving off the vibe of a teenager whose parents went away for the weekend and now an unexpected mob of party guests are clumsily, but methodically, wrecking her house.
And what on earth will she tell her parents?
"I'm very protective over it," she says. "I feel really comfortable here, very happy and comfortable."
Maybe two rooms over, past Graceland's dining room and kitchen, a herd of camera-crew types is setting equipment up in the Jungle Room, where Lisa's father famously recorded in 1976, and where she'll soon be performing for the very first time, for all eyes to see.
"But this is working inside of where I grew up, which is very strange. I feel like I'm watching, making sure that everything doesn't get trampled over. That people are being careful while it's happening."
Lisa Marie Presley performs in Jungle Room at Graceland
In September during her stop in Memphis on her Storm and Grace Tour, Lisa Marie Presley performed in the Jungle Room at Graceland, the house where she grew up and where her dad recorded his last album Moody Blue. Today Yahoo Music released the performance on its site. Lisa performed "Over Me," "Sticks and Stones" and "Weary." (I can't embed them, so please click on the song title for video) "Sticks and Stones" is one of my favorites – watch for Lisa's drum solo at the end. And check out Michael Lockwood's (Lisa's husband and band leader) guitar in "Weary" – it's Elvis'.
LMP offers 'Grace' after the 'Storm'
Music's favorite daughter performing in Sellersville Nov. 16
Lisa Marie Presley carries with her the most famous last name in pop music history. She has been world famous since the day she was born. And though one might assume that with her personal history and her DNA she'd have all the makings of an extrovert, that's not really the case when discussing her life. With some topics, she remains guarded, while with others, she speaks freely. Her latest critically-acclaimed album, "Storm & Grace," falls into the category of the latter. And it's worth talking about.
In a recent interview with The Weekender, Presley talked about "Storm & Grace," its accompanying tour, and some of her other recent musical endeavors in her native hometown of Memphis, where she not only recorded at the legendary Sun Studios, but also performed live on the same stage where a young and upcoming artist named Elvis Presley performed in 1954. She also recently did a home recording, so to speak. But in her case, "home" just happened to be the Jungle Room in a place called Graceland.
After a Lights Out Performance...
The ticket was free, the company was fun, the venue was a personal favorite so there was little to lose seeing Elvis' baby girl in concert. But after walking in apathetic, I watched the petite forty-five-year-old brunette give an intimate, emotional seventy-five minute performance that turned me into an enthusiastic fan.
Concert review: Lisa Marie Presley well-suited for coziness of Eddie's Attic
Lisa Marie Presley is a diminutive figure, an inherently shy person who has nonetheless decided to put herself in the position of being an artist – and one who has spent months on the road, standing in front of crowds in intimate rooms and putting her vulnerability on display.
While she clearly isn't naturally comfortable onstage – though with five musicians backing her on the cramped Eddie's Attic stage, she might have felt physically penned in as well – she nonetheless conversed quietly with the audience and tried to indulge the boorish types who constantly interrupted her with song requests and irrelevant comments.

Pro-tip: first check to see if yours was 'pro' and/or 'tip' at all
Martin Wagner over at the Atheist Experience blog lashed out at American Atheists (AA).For the last few years, American Atheists have been throwing billboards up around the country, and pretty much all of them have been a preposterous fail. Setting aside the often poor and flat-out amateurish graphic design on most of them (bad choice of colors and ugly fonts), they have either made the mistake of thinking that a billboard was an appropriate format for launching a philosophical argument; or … [Read more...]

ICT Award - Best Business Award
Hactl Logistics Control System
Enhancing logistics cargo handling control's round-the-clock efficiency
Hong Kong has long been one of the world's leading international air-freight hubs. In developing its new Logistics Control System (LCS), Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminals Limited (Hactl) has leveraged sophisticated IT technologies to heighten its already highly efficient cargo handling capability. The company is continuously enhancing cargo handling capabilities within the terminals. The success of Hactl's new LCS has now been recognized with the 'Best Business Grand Award' from the Hong Kong Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Awards 2009.
In order to maintain Hong Kong's position as a leading international air-freight hub, Hactl spent around US$1,000,000,000 in building 'Super Terminal 1' in 1998. Said Mr. Chee Hong Tan, Hactl's General Manager, Information Services and Operation Development: "As land is scarce and population is so high in Hong Kong, our automated operation system must be highly responsive to the potential future growth in cargo demand". Hactl ultimately employed sophisticated IT systems to ensure more highly efficient cargo handling. The company has also continued to enhance cargo handling capabilities within the terminals themselves. Hactl's developing of its own LCS was the impressive end result of this process.
How state-of-the-art 3D technologies enhanced Hactl's cargo handling capabilities
"The major challenge we faced during the development stage was system testing. In launching new services, we simply could not afford to disrupt our terminals' 24/7 operations. By employing sophisticated 3D virtual technologies to simulate the operations of our cargo terminals, we resolved this issue", said Mr. Chee Hong Tan. Hactl's new LCS is empowered by a highly efficient and delicate computer system that handles specific air-freight cargos and containers 24-hours-a-day. In doing so, Hactl has ensured that all terminal operations are always at their optimal efficiency levels. The new LCS handles different types of containers via two core systems, namely LCS-CSS and LCS-BSS. The system also integrates an SDS and 3D PLC Simulator to track and visualize equipment location, resources distribution and ensure accurate load performance projection of likely future business needs.
Mr. Chee Hong Tan and his team are delighted with their ICT Award as it validates their LCS system's recognition and approval among other industry leaders. "SuperTerminal 1 remains the world's largest single air cargo terminal. Hactl has always done everything possible to provide innovative and practical IT solutions to support operations here". Since LCS's launch, Hactl's annual cargo handling capacity has grown from 2,500,000 to 3,500,000 tonnes. Since 2005, the company has also enhanced its customer service standards for over 90 airlines and 1,000 freight forwarders.

Another opportunity for Tennessee's football team to impress was marred by a myriad of mistakes.
A team that was desperately seeking its first signature win under third-year coach Derek Dooley failed to make the plays needed to upset No. 5 ranked Georgia between the hedges at Sanford Stadium.
"There will never be a game where we will have the amount of adversity that we had,'' Dooley said after the wild and wooly 51-44 defeat.
Once again, Vols quarterback Tyler Bray showed he is just good enough to get you beat against a quality opponent.
In the Vols final three possessions of a high-scoring, but close game, Bray was guilty of two interceptions and a lost fumble.
Tennessee is not a complete enough team to overcome those kind of turnovers, especially by a quarterback who seems to save his worst for last. Too often, Bray melts when the heat is the hottest.
That is not to pin the loss all on Bray. He saw junior college transfer Cordarelle Patterson drop a long pass that hit him right in the hands as he had at least a five-yard lead on a Georgia defensive back. A certain touchdown turned into failure to execute the fundamentals.
Dooley is looking for playmakers. Georgia lost its best running back prior to the season opener when Isaiah Crowell was dismissed from school due to a reported number of failed drug tests.
So freshmen running backs Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall took up the slack and had a field day against the Vols' porous run defense. Gurley rang up 130 yards on 24 carries while Marshall gashed the Vols defense for 164 yards on only 10 plays.
Running lanes were impossible to miss. Gurley and Marshall had no trouble finding them. If you can't stop the run in this league, you won't be an elite team.
"We made a lot of mistakes. We have a lot of issues on defense, especially stopping the run,'' Dooley admitted.
The Vols' kicking game also continues to disappoint. Derrick Brodus missed a 28-yard field goal and a point after. They had a punt blocked. Once feared for its kicking game, Tennessee scares no one today.
There were some great plays made by the Vols, but they were negated by as many mistakes that nullified the positives.
They are now 3-2, 0-2 inside the SEC. Their next three opponents are Mississippi State, Alabama and South Carolina. The Vols can't hope to beat those teams unless they tighten up the run defense, drastically cut down on mistakes and develop a kicking game.
Georgia Coach Mark Richt may have been trying to placate the Vols after the game.
"Tennessee is very talented. They have good-looking athletes,'' Richt said. "I think Derek (Dooley) has got them going in the right direction.''
While all that is true, it has to start paying off in the win column. I predicted it would take Dooley four years to get this program to where it could win its share against the top teams in the East. After watching them stumble in the fourth quarter against Georgia, it still stands.
The question is, will Vol Nation be patient enough to suffer through the process without braying for a coaching change.
"They're going to be a pain in the rear for some time to come,'' Richt said of the Vols.
Will Derek Dooley be there when that time arrives?

After his father took a railroad job in rural California, young Rafer lived in a house about the size and shape of a boxcar. And yet he rose to win Gold in the Olympics, appear in motion pictures and television dramas, work as a sportscaster and serve in the Peace Corps. In 1968, Johnson worked on the presidential campaign of Robert Kennedy and helped apprehend Kennedy's assassin. The following year, he founded the California Special Olympics, and he remains on the organization's board of directors. But it was in Westwood that the young student athlete, now the proud father of two UCLA graduates, first found his purpose. And his legacy—Kareem Abdul-Jabbar chose to attend UCLA in large part after seeing Johnson introduced on national television not as an Olympic athlete, but as UCLA student body president.What Trails Will You Blaze?

MANITOWOC, WI (WTAQ) - A federal deadline came and went Wednesday for the S.S. Badger to stop dumping coal ash into Lake Michigan, when it carries cars and people from Manitowoc to Ludington Michigan.
The 60-year-old ferry is the last steamship of its kind operating on the Great Lakes – and it's been under orders to find a cleaner way to handle its emissions.
The company says it's looking at alternatives, but it needs more time. And after getting a four-year grace period in 2008, the Badger says it needs another EPA permit renewal or it will have to shut down.
The EPA says it will make a tentative decision on a permit by March 1st, and will then issue a final ruling after taking public comments. The agency says it has received about 6,000 letters and e-mails about the subject – many from residents of the Manitowoc and Ludington areas who say it's part of their heritage, and it should be preserved.
Congressmen for those two areas tried to sneak an extension into a budget bill, but it didn't work. They say the economy of the two areas is at stake.
But a competing ferry, Milwaukee's Lake Express, says it doesn't get special treatment from the government and the Badger shouldn't, either. The Badger issued a statement Wednesday vowing it will run in 2013, and they'll keep working with the EPA to make it happen.

One of the nicer-looking and better-performing Chrome OS systems, the 13-inch Acer Chromebook adds some zip by ditching Intel for an Nvidia processor, but also hits a few issues with popular Chrome apps.
Convertible modes can be hyperbolic, but the new hinge on the Acer Aspire R 13 gives more credibility than usual to its claim of six modes of use.
The Acer Aspire Switch 11 becomes the big brother to the Switch 10, with a Core-powered option for more serious applications in this budget convertible notebook.
The Acer Aspire Switch 10 is a budget hybrid that skips the more-common fold-back or button-clasp hinges and instead attaches its screen via a magnetic connection. It shares the same hardware limitations as other small hybrids, but can be easier to use.
If you're on tightest of budgets, the Acer Iconia One 7 will meet your needs for very casual use, but don't expect more than that.
The Acer Aspire AU5-620 is a great entertainment PC, pairing an attractive display and strong media-streaming performance with a wallet-friendly price.
The Acer K272HUL starts at $450 and boasts a 27-inch WQHD screen.
If you're the sort with too many phone lines and not enough phones, this Acer smartphone could be exactly what the doctor ordered.

Skipper admits Blues were below their best in beating Bolton.
Phil Neville
Skipper Phil Neville admitted Everton required an element of good fortune to overcome Bolton and progress to the last 16 of the FA Cup.
Despite a lively start and an early strike from Steven Pienaar, it took a last-minute intervention from substitute John Heitinga for the Blues to ultimately prevail at the Reebok Stadium.
With home games against West Bromwich Albion and Aston Villa, plus a tricky trip to Premier League leaders Manchester United on the horizon, the victory meant David Moyes' men avoided an unwanted Goodison replay.
And in a candid interview with evertontv, Neville confessed: "It was probably bordering on a little bit lucky in the end.
"We set off really well and for the first 15 or 20 minutes we looked as though we'd found our rhythm. The goal came at the end of a period of total domination and I thought it was going to be a quite simple game to win.
"Then, obviously, we conceded a goal and after that Bolton put us under a lot of pressure and we didn't play well enough after that.
"It was a proper cup tie and sometimes in a cup tie you just need to make sure you're in the hat for the next round. And that's what we are."
Moyes revealed after the game that Heitinga's introduction 11 minutes from time was intended to give top scorer Marouane Fellaini more freedom to move forward.
Neville, however, hinted at a secondary factor - Bolton's tendency to defend deep at corners, something duly noted by the Blues boss in his pre-match preparations.
"The manager had actually said that there was always going to be space at the edge of the box against Bolton from corners," the 36-year-old explained. "Johnny is a great striker of the ball, with great technique, and he came up with a fantastic strike and a goal worthy to win any game.
"When you come on as a sub you need to make your mark and Johnny did that today. He's a great player for us.
"It's a big week. We're looking for three victories and we've started it well."

The role of an inner loop in the catalytic mechanism of soybean beta-amylase
Two different conformations of the inner loop (residues 340-346) have been found in the soybean beta-amylase structures. In the "product form", the Thr 342 residue creates hydrogen bonds with Glu 186 (catalytic acid) and with the glucose residues at subsites -1 and +1, whereas most of those interactions are lost in the "apo form". To elucidate the relationship between the structural states of the inner loop and the catalytic mechanism, Thr 342 was mutated to Val, Ser, and Ala, respectively, and their crystal structures complexed with maltose were determined together with that of the apo enzyme at 1.27-1.64 A resolutions. The k(cat) values of the T342V, T342S, and T342A mutants decreased by 13-, 360-, and 1700-fold, respectively, compared to that of the wild-type enzyme. Whereas the inner loops in the wild-type/maltose and T342V/maltose complexes adopted the product form, those of the T342S/maltose and T342A/maltose complexes showed the apo form. Structural analyses suggested that the side chain of Thr 342 in product form plays an important role in distorting the sugar ring at subsite -1, stabilizing the deprotonated form of Glu 186, and grasping the glucose residue of the remaining substrate at subsite +1. The third hypothesis was proved by the fact that T342V hydrolyzes maltoheptaose following only multichain attack in contrast to multiple attack of the wild-type enzyme.

The Secret Life of Words
Don't be confused by the title of this book, which feels like one dreamt up by publicity people and which may not have been the first choice of the author, Henry Hitchings. The subtitle says it better: How English Became English.
Language is much more than simply a way to communicate and English retains within itself a record of invasion (of England and of other countries by English speakers), seafaring explorations, colonisation and empire, and trade. Every contact with other cultures has left its mark in the words that we use. Henry Hitchings chronicles them in a study that is as much a survey of the relevant bits of English history as it is of the archaeology of the language.
It has become a cliché to say that English is a mongrel, having taken in words and influences from so many languages that its true origins have become submerged, along the way losing its grammatical baggage of verb endings, moods and cases. Some linguists even argue that modern English is a creole, a simplified tongue stripped of its grammatical intricacy by the collision of different linguistic groups through the urgent need to communicate. One view is that the language clash was that between post-Conquest medieval English and Norman French. In his survey of the forces that led to our modern language Henry Hitchings hints that he agrees, though for him the simplifying force is the impact between pre-Conquest English and the Scandinavian languages of the Vikings and Danes.
Hitchings' exploration of the roots of English is presented in 16 chapters with enigmatic titles such as Powwow, Bonsai and Voodoo, illustrative words brought into the language as a result of the changes he writes about in each chapter. For example, onslaught is a word of Dutch origin (Middle Dutch aenslag, from aen, on, plus slag blow); he picks it to head the chapter on the influence of that language on English, which began well before the Glorious Revolution of 1688 in which William of Orange took over the English throne. Cambric, selvage and stripe attest to the cloth trade with the low countries; sketch, masterpiece, landscape and etch remind us of Dutch and Flemish painters; waffle, boss and cookie are tokens of early Dutch influence in North America; the large numbers of Dutch-originated maritime terms in English, such as deck, boom, reef, orlop, bowsprit, skipper, hull and dock show the maritime power of the Dutch in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries; the many denigratory terms on the model of Dutch courage that were once common highlight the antipathy between the English and Dutch through their competition for sea supremacy.
It's a densely illustrated tale, essentially chronological but with many excursions up interesting byways. As he says at the beginning of his journey, "Words frequently come from unlikely places, and the unlikelihood is illuminating."

Crown Maple Sugarhouse: Building Sustainability through Energy EfficiencySubmitted by Robb on November 4, 2011 - 6:43pm
At Crown Maple, Lydia and I are truly committed not only to sustainable forestry but to managing all aspects of Crown Maple in a way that preserves the environment. Tomorrow we get to talk about how we're putting that commitment into practice as we produce the purest maple syrup on Earth.
Crown Maple will be speaking at the Oblong Land Conservancy's "Building Sustainability: Renewables and Energy Efficiency Options for New and Existing Structures" event from 9 am – noon Saturday, Nov. 5 at Dover Furnace in Dover Plains.
We had the luxury of building our maple syrup production facility from scratch and every step of the way we planned for maximum efficiency and energy conservation, which doesn't always happen when building plans are designed.
We set up design goals for our maple processing system and enveloped the building around those goals. We started by setting the process capacity and then figured out how much sap and concentrate we needed to bring into the facility, this then led us to determining the size of the sap holding tanks, concentrate tanks, reverse osmosis (RO) system, evaporating equipment, refrigeration area and bottling equipment.
The size of the RO equipment and the evaporating equipment is key because you want to be able to process all the sap you collect everyday. Storing the sap, which is done too often at other processing facilities, can cause the sap to spoil because bacteria and yeast propagate in watery sap. In addition, because we reduce the volume of water by 85 to 90% with the RO system prior to evaporation, we save energy.
There are two side benefits to all of this efficiency. The first is that we're able to make syrup that actually tastes better because using less heat for evaporation reduces the amount of carmelization; we're darkening the syrup less and producing more light amber syrup and medium amber syrup. Also, the lighter syrup we're creating retains more beneficial minerals, like potassium and zinc.
We've also put other sustainable features in our facility: our refrigeration area is under ground to reduce cooling costs and using reverse osmosis for water reduction coupled with a high efficiency three-stage evaporator save us 55 percent in fuel oil costs.
So when you buy Crown Maple Syrup and use it on your waffles or in that great recipe, you can be sure you're getting a very "green" product produced in a sustainable facility with maximum energy efficiency. And it just happens to be the best pure maple syrup ever.
From the Farm provides updates on how the Crown Maple team is turning sap from the some of the most regal maple trees into quite possibly the purest maple syrup on earth. The Crown Maple team shares their insight into maple sugaring, the latest maple syrup production techniques, life in the sugarbush, conserving the land and sustainable forestry. Interested in more?

Functional MRI (fMRI) based on changes in cerebral blood volume (CBV) can probe directly vasodilatation and vasoconstriction during brain activation or physiologic challenges, and can provide important insights into the mechanism of blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) signal changes. At present, the most widely used CBV fMRI technique in humans is called vascular-space-occupancy (VASO) MRI, and this article provides a technical review of this method. VASO MRI utilizes T1 differences between blood and tissue to distinguish between these two compartments within a voxel, and employs a blood-nulling inversion recovery sequence to yield an MR signal proportional to 1 - CBV. As such, vasodilatation will result in a VASO signal decrease and vasoconstriction will have the reverse effect. The VASO technique can be performed dynamically with a temporal resolution comparable with several other fMRI methods, such as BOLD or arterial spin labeling (ASL), and is particularly powerful when conducted in conjunction with these complementary techniques. The pulse sequence and imaging parameters of VASO can be optimized such that the signal change is predominantly of CBV origin, but careful considerations should be taken to minimize other contributions, such as those from the BOLD effect, cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The sensitivity of the VASO technique is the primary disadvantage when compared with BOLD, but this technique is increasingly demonstrating its utility in neuroscientific and clinical applications.

Great chair, well-made, classy, and casual at the same time. Ours is in the Triage Sea Foam color with the light hints of brown/tan and the calming blue/greens. This piece is a wonderful chair all around; is solid in its footing and the fabric, while patterned seems timeless and is not rough. The one TINY bit of negative feedback I'd offer is the slope of the armrests. Because it does indeed slope, your elbows don't rest naturally if you're using a laptop (for eg.). See the Quinn chair's opposite slope for contrast. Other than that - great piece. I'd have to wonder if it'd have more reviews and such if it were offered in a slightly different, stock fabric (?). We love ours either way.

hearts that drifted apart
now strangers with memories
past is past, gone and done
see how lives can be temporary
whispered promises long forgotten
embraces that turned cold
the timelessness suddenly ended
abandoned, nothing more to hold
barely able to remember
how it was, or how it could've been
this past of a future life
so it was thought, so it seemed.
***Nagozu Aldean is Basque for "I Stay Near You". It was from a book I read when I was 12 years of age. Never forgot the term.

Earlier this week, I highlighted an incredibly easy way to send a care package to a deployed military member, completely free of charge.It was a combined effort between Revision Military, who makes SawFly battle-ready eye wear among other things, and also the AnySoldier charity who helps match military members with individual donors.This started getting a lot of traction on Facebook, Reddit, and Twitter almost immediately. So I called them to ask a few basic questions. Namely, were they … [Read more...]
Atheists donated way too many care packages to deployed troops
Painless way to send a troop a care package free of charge
This is not an 'atheist effort', but who cares - right? A company called Revision Military (who makes a brand of military/tactical glasses) has teamed up with AnySoldier to send out care packages. This combined effort is called 'Revision Gives', and I think we can all jump on board with this one.All you have to do is type your name, email address, pick a branch of the military, and type a short message. The entire process took me 30 seconds.Click here to send one, and please share this … [Read more...]

Before & After: Roadside Treasure Transformation
The Speckled Dog
Fall is a great time of year for picking up great salvaged finds from the side of the road, back alleys and dumpsters. Folks are purging before Winter comes and we're A-OK with that! This homeowner picked up this piece in just the same manner and took it home. Are you ready to see its not-so-table-like transformation?
With a little elbow grease, this piece got a new paint job and a few finishing touches and it was set to be used as a napping spot instead of a place to put a plant. Finials and some embellisment were added to make it look more bed-like and cute little linens completed the look.
Make sure to hop over to The Speckled Dog to check out more photos of the process and the new bed's tenant, because what Friday is complete without pint sized pups in pint sized beds?

Ugh. Formerly great table.
I'm utterly gobsmacked. Well done!
Super clever!!!
that is fantastic. my cordelia might need something like that. although, I have a sneaking suspicion she wouldn't use it.
Haha! There was the cutest little dachshund house on designsponge yesterday, and now this fancy bed today! Great idea.
Wow! Clever re-purposing!
insanely clever!
At first, I thought, "Oh no, they're going to paint that beautiful table!".
Then I saw a puppeh was involved, and I cracked up. That is hilarious!
That's just creepy...
wow, that's really cool !
That's so not what I was expecting. Well played.
it's a cute idea, but i think it would have been much better if it stayed a table.
that's great!
Love this! It would also be perfect for American Girl-sized dolls.
I totally didn't see that coming. I would love to have a bed that looks like that. Too cute!
That is one lucky weiner dog!
I really don't understand these negative comments about it being better off as a table. If she hadn't nabbed it, it would have ended up in a landfill. Maybe she didn't want a table...
Adorable and well done!
too cute
Are people seriously complaining about this? She found it on the roadside and turned it into something functional and adorable.
And, no, it wouldn't have made a better table. I wouldn't trust the legs to hold anything of value.
so cute and clever. makes me want to adopt a weenie dog... and build a little bed for it. :)
negative nellie's should keep their trap shut... haven't you ever heard "if you can't say something nice, don't say it at all."
OMG. My Zoe dog already thinks she's royalty, that bed would just go straight to her head. What's that Zoe? You'd prefer organic sheets? OK! ;>
It's begging for sheer curtains and a few shimmery pillows :)
Adorable. And great paint job.
I think it's hysterical - but I agree with ProfKD - it needs to go a little further.. sheer curtains, little silk pillows - how about a little gilt?
I agree with @silence
Haahaaa! This is so great!
Totally not what I was expecting...
Its already been said cute, cleaver and love it.
Shockingly clever! Nice work!
Lucky dog! Very cute and surprising!
That is truly an unexpected transformation.
This was NOT what I was expecting, but it's totally awesome. I would make something like this for my dogs, except they would never use it.
OMG!! Absolutely adorable! What a brilliant idea of transformation. Great work :)
Put a big smile on my tired old face!
I LOVE it!!!!!! Anything for a pupper....
This kills me!!!! My dogs would LOVE it! Great job!
Super creative and adorable. Way to think outside the box!!
With great, creative ideas like this I become more and more open to think in different ways.
Thank you for this wake up call!
You made a fabulous doggy executive bed :-)
That is SO freaking adorable.
I wish I had a bed like that!
oh my god!!!!
super clever!
Until I saw the dog, I thought it was an extremely clever doll's bed, which my grandaughter would love. But my dog might like it, too.
Brilliant. However any dog I ever had would have been gnawing on the bedposts... Good dog!
That is an amazing transformation! If I had known that the 'after' would be so imaginative, I would have checked out this post earlier... ;)
Very cute makeover! I thought it was for a doll though until I saw the dog on it :)
I think I need to get a small dog so I can do this!
its great. i would love if i could get my dog to sleep in a dog bed, but he seems to prefer anything but a designated spot. last time i tried to get him to sleep in a designated dog bed i found him in the laundry basket sleeping in the dirty clothes.
nice... BEAUTIFUL teckel too.
Ha! I was not expecting that. What a lucky little hound.
I'm in love with this! I wish I had a people-sized one for me.
Brilliant! Love it!
very clever!
How awesome is that??!
This has got to be *THE* cutest thing I have ever seen. It's great:)
So creative...I love it! I'm curious, did you have the bed idea when you found it or did that come later? You creative types amaze me!
Ha, fantastic.
I'm always amazed at the what some people can see in a random piece of abandoned furniture that I'd probably just walk past.
Seriously, if I had a dog, I would SO very much want a bed for it just like that. That is one of the cleverest makeovers I've ever seen.
so clever and creative!

Michelle Williams on getting her GED at 15: "I feel like I missed out on a good education, but it's a trade-off. The plus is that then afforded me 6.5 years of practice, of work and acting class, being on Dawson's Creek and being able to experiment and say, 'Am I better when I know all of my lines, and I've really known them?' or 'Am I better when I'm kind of off-balance a little bit because I'm tired?' It's that Malcolm Gladwell thing of 10,000 hours [to achieve proficiency in a subject]. I definitely have 10,000 hours in front of a camera, thanks to that show. So I got a different kind of education, but I do find myself — now I'm 30 — feeling frustrated with the limitations of my own mind."

I frankly found it hard to watch Michelle Williams without thinking about her break-up with Heath Ledger, the father of her child, and the impact of his subsequent death. That's not a problem, though — if anything, it makes her seem more vulnerable.

Briscoe Group to pay special dividend, Duke to reap $16.7m
BUSINESSDESK: Briscoe Group, the homeware and sporting goods retailer, will pay a special dividend of 10 cents a share, generating a windfall of about $16.7 million for managing director and controlling shareholder Rod Duke.
The dividend will be paid on June 28 to investors on the register at the close of trading on June 14, the company said.
Interests associated with Mr Duke own 78% of the retailer, which has about 214m shares on issue.
Shares of Briscoe rose 2.6% to $1.60 after the announcement.
The stock has gained 14% this year, outpacing a 9.4% in an NZX index of consumer stocks.
Last week the company reported a 6.5% gain in first-quarter sales while warning that full-year revenue may be flat because last year's result was inflated by Rugby World Cup turnover in the second half.
Sales at the retailer, whose brands include the Briscoe, Rebel Sport and Living and Giving, rose to $102.5m in the three months ended April 29, from $96.3m a year earlier.
Homeware revenue rose 5.7% to $66.1m and sporting goods sales climbed 7.8% to $36.4m.
Comments and questions9
One of NZs best retailers. He has indeed earned it
I do agree strongly with that!
He's not a "manager" that has no skin in the game and bamboozled an inane Board here. Here you have an entrepreneur, and his interests are aligned with the (few) other shareholders.
He lives and dies by his results.
Good on him!!
If previous dividends are anything to go by I would bet a fair chunk of that $16m will be used to buy Briscoes shares. It is slow and steady, but I think that eventually it will be 100% private.
Rod should but The Warehouse and show Tindall and co how to run a real retailer
That's Rod should Buy The Warehouse and I should learn to type

TORONTO - Greg McKegg scored twice and added an assist as the Toronto Marlies defeated the visiting Charlotte Checkers 4-1 in American Hockey League action on Saturday.
John-Michael Liles and Jerry D'Amigo, with an empty-netter, also scored for Toronto, who snapped a three-game losing skid to improve to 7-6-1. T.J. Brennan collected two assists and Spencer Abbott had a helper to add to his league-leading total (18 in 13 games).
Zach Boychuk had the lone tally for the Checkers, who dropped their sixth straight game to fall to 5-9-1.
Marlies goalie Drew MacIntyre was sharp making 27 saves for the victory, while Checkers netminder John Muse stopped 27 of 30 shots.
It was the Marlies' first home game since Oct. 26. Toronto went 2-3-1 on a six-game trip while the annual Royal Agricultural Winter Fair took up residence in Ricoh Coliseum for the first two weeks of November.
The physical tone was set early when Toronto winger Jamie Devane bodychecked Charlotte defenceman Michal Jordan into the end boards at 2:38 of the first period. Jordan lay on the ice for a few minutes before being helped to the dressing room. He didn't return to the game.

Create an online community to share art/entertainment that people have created or found that have helped them through stress.
This is my first TED conversation. I am a recent high school graduate who is very passionate about filmmaking, music and other forms of art.
My idea is to help people through art by letting people share their own forms of art that they've created or post links to photos/videos that have helped them through stress or difficult situations. I have just started a small Facebook group where I hope to do just that. https://www.facebook.com/groups/570984432935505/571010386266243/ I would also like to create a website at some point, but I'm not sure the best way to design it.
I have personally dealt with quite a lot of stress and anxiety in my life, and find that when I'm dealing with stress it's hard to find things to watch or listen to help me laugh or calm down. If we could create a list of resources that could grow I think we could help a lot of people.
Thank you for your time,

By GEORGE HENRYAssociated Press
ATLANTA (AP) - Diana Taurasi scored 25 points, Candice Dupree added 15 and the Phoenix Mercury won their third straight game with a 79-71 victory over the Atlanta Dream on Sunday.
Angel McCoughtry finished with 25 points and Erika de Souza had 12 points and 10 rebounds for the Dream (17-14). The loss ended Atlanta's 3-game winning streak.
Phoenix (17-13) never trailed after Taurasi's layup midway through the first quarter.
Tiffany Hayes, who scored 19 points off the bench for Atlanta, cut the lead to 74-67 with a 3-pointer. But in the last 3 minutes, she had a turnover and missed two layups and two 3s.
McCoughtry, the WNBA's leading scorer, hit a free throw to cut the lead to 74-71, but she missed a 3 and a 20-footer before fouling out with 25.8 seconds to go.
Centers Brittney Griner and de Souza tangled at the 6:46 mark of the third and had to be separated by officials and teammates.

Informal Political Poll
Both the weather and the politics seem to be heating up here in Philadelphia, with just a week to go till the primary elections. We, well at least the democtates, will get to have more of an impact then usual for Philadelphia. Today, while walking our 5 block circut to the thrift store and back, my son counted 11 lawn or window signs for Obama and only 2 for Clinton. So while the state as a whole my be closing the gap our corner of West Philadelphia, our at least those who are willing to show thier preferences via a lawn sign, are favoring Obama. The same seems to be true over in sacradoctrina's corner of the burbs too!
