|Early Birds wait for Beatles' Show to Begin

Elliot Norton heard the news, and took a quick vacation.
Peggy Doyle began to cry, and as she was being dragged out of door on her way to the Mayflower, kept pleading that she could do her best review from the women's wear counter of the department store--any one of them.
Because both Norton and Miss Doyle are cowards, as well as critics, it fell to us to do a front-line review of the Beatles' new movie, "a Hard Day's Night," that opened at the Mayflower and just about every place else but the Fogg Museum- Wednesday.
The movie, you should excuse the expression, is a blast--we think.
We really couldn't hear too much of the chamber music the shaggy-dog singers were playing because the Mayflower was peopled with teenage girls who jumped up and down, screamed, grabbed their hair, screamed, tried to pull the ears from their heads, screamed, moaned, swayed from side to side, snuffled and screamed.
Every once in a while, when the volume fell a bit, some crank would yell: "Shaddap, will ya?"
That made the girls scream some more.
The first show was at 10 a.m but three hours before that the bobbysox set was lining up outside the theater, hair in curlers and tickets clutched in their fists.
When the doors opened they moved like running guards, scrambling for the seat down front so they could be near their true loves. Those at the end of the line refused to go in because they figured they'd have to sit in back, or on the sides, and who wanted to see the mop-haired minstrels from angles like that?
So they stayed outside, and waited for the next show.
Inside, it was like the end of the world, with sound effects. The movie's opening scene showed the Beatles running away from a flock of wild-eyed members of the feminine gender.
the girls on the screen were screaming, and so were those in the seats, but you couldn't tell whether it was from rage or frustration, or a pin sticking through the cushion.
The movie, it seemed had to do with Ringo's mistaken notion that Paul, John and George didn't like him. So he ran away and the others tried to find him. And considering the fact that their hair was in their eyes all the time, it really was quite a job.
Or maybe it wasn't quite that way at all. Maybe it was that Paul's grandpa convinced Ringo he was working too hard banging the drums and should do a little kicking the gong to relax a bit.
So Ringo took off, and the other thought he'd run away because he thought they thought he was a creep, and they didn't think so at all.
It was hard to tell just what was happening up there on the screen, but it didn't seem to make much difference.
"Oooh, I'm still shaking," she squealed, "Ringo looked so sad that I cired. It was just beautiful, beautiful..."
"Did you like the songs they sang?"
She looked at us like we'd just sprouted another set of ears. "Who heard anything, for heaven's sake!" she shouted.
When when you come right down to it, was as accurate a preview as you could get.

Hamilton Mayor Fred Eisenberger just made a presentation to the Public Works Committee recommending that the city look at pedestrianizing Gore Park:
We need to create a truly unique environment that has a clear identity that citizens can understand and relate to. For downtown Hamilton, that identity historically has been Gore Park. The Gore was a popular social gathering place, a hub of retail and commerce. We need to re-establish the Gore as a hub once again. A place where all citizens will point with pride when they think of downtown.
I would like for us to consider the idea of pedestrianizing the Gore - closing it off to through traffic and creating a public plaza. [emphasis added]
Citing successes in other cities - Ottawa's Sparks Street, Regina's Scarth Street Mall, Montreal's Prince Arthur Street, and the city of Debrecen, Hungary - the Mayor argued that a similar initiative in Hamilton would attract new development and increase property values by creating a more lively, people place in the heart of the city.
Eisenberger noted further that the presence of Gore Park in our core gives Hamilton a unique opportunity to create a real civic plaza with an existing space, and that growing awareness of the need to reduce automobile dependence, the plan to move the Gore bus terminal to another location, and the planned rapid transit initiative all align toward reclaiming the core for people, not cars.
(He even noted that one rationale for building the Red Hill Expressway was to reduce traffic through the core.)
It's exciting to hear a Hamilton mayor expressing a hopeful vision for the downtown that is based in lessons from other cities, not outmoded planning dogma. However, to be realized, this plan will require acceptance from the Public Works department, which has traditionally placed ease of driving above other priorities.
It will also require buy-in from the Downtown BIA, which in the past has pinned too many of its hopes on making it easier to drive downtown.
Most hopeful is the fact that the Mayor seems to understand that transforming the downtown core will require transforming our understanding of what makes cities work:
Downtown renewal efforts have had a measure of success, but we require a rethinking of how we approach downtown - its strengths and potential, if we are to take renewal to the next level.
This initiative suggests that the mayor regards transformation as a real goal, not just empty rhetoric. We'll be sure to follow this story to see how it develops.

It's about time. Recently, I sat on a patio at a coffee shop in Gore Park, sipping a cup of cappucino and eating some cake. It was an enjoyable experience, because it's a pretty park, the weather was nice, and my company was superb, although I can't say the same for the coffee or the cake.
The only downer was the traffic. The constant rush of traffic down King St, plus the roar of buses pulling through the park, was a real interruption. I could live with the traffic noise on King (I doubt the mayor was suggesting rerouting King, although I'd be all for that), but the buses and other traffic in the park have to go.
By nobrainer (registered) | Posted October 01, 2007 at 16:17:09
finally we're starting to earn some dividends on electing a mayor who seems to get it. not a moment too soon either!!
The Mayor pitched some possible ways of implementing the idea:
It's too bad he included the third choice, because it will allow people in Public Works who still don't get it to make like they're compromising without really effecting a transformation.
By Jon Dalton (anonymous) | Posted October 01, 2007 at 16:26:21
There is room for buses on the other side of the park. Currently there is that wrought iron fence between the park and 60km/h traffic. I propose taking down the fence, having the bus stop on that side of the park, and closing the left lane to traffic except buses. The former bus lane would become all pedestrian. That would functionalize both sides of the park - as it stands now, the side with the fence is rather unpleasant, and the park is completely cut from the other side of the street.
By jason (registered) | Posted October 01, 2007 at 16:48:38
is he talking about possibly closing traffic on BOTH sides of the park? If only king and Main were 2-way streets...it could be done easily. To me the south leg is a no-brainer (explaining why the downtown BIA doesn't approve:) the north side would be great to pull off, or leave for transit and delivery vehicles only. I recall the Saturday public market in Portland....closed streets to traffic EXCEPT the light rail trains that would slowly crawl through the mobs of people. Everyone just parted like the Red Sea and off went the train.

Sparks Street in Ottawa is not a success.
By jason (registered) | Posted October 01, 2007 at 17:23:11
thankfully Gore Park is nothing like Sparks Street. You're right...that street is so boring. Our Gore has a much more European piazza type feel to it....it already feels like a spot meant to be for people first.
By jason (registered) | Posted October 01, 2007 at 18:01:47
great news....he IS talking about both sides of Gore from James to Catharine. Buses would still be allowed, which is fabulous. I assume they would re-route buses off the south leg of Gore and put them all on the north side. This would speed up buses, create a great pedestrian environment and allow new businesses to open up there with patio/sidewalk space. Currently there is no street parking on King from John to James so businesses won't have to worry about losing car-driving customers. In fact, they would stand to gain customers via enhanced transit and a new destination downtown right out their storefront. Catharine would need to be made 2-way to allow people to jump up to Cannon or down to Hunter. Email your councillor.....let's not let another great idea die deep inside the bowels of city hall (the Eaton Centre now)
By H Mag (anonymous) | Posted October 01, 2007 at 18:20:48
I like the idea mentioned here or elsewhere about the possibility of all buses being on the other side of where the Gore Park fence is now. Take that down - make all buses dock there - put up a dividing bump for those waiting to get on and voila - you have some lovely public space all around it.
Highly brand the new area - "The Gore" and take out any reference to it being a park - which it really isn't - more of a strip. As Jason mentioned earlier it becomes a real Piazza....more of a rectagular shape than a square - but it will be a real beautiful place to spend an afternoon sipping a coffee. This should also make it easier to convert some of those upper stories into living spaces. As it stands right now - it isn't the best place to live with all that traffic and idling spewing right into your windows.
Now if we only change up some of that less than appealing "preaching" on Sundays....ahh Downtown Hamilton - it truly is a great place to gather! Let's give the rest of the city a reason to come down.
Pedestrianize King St. NOW!
By West end Observer (anonymous) | Posted October 02, 2007 at 00:27:48
I'll give Mayor Fred a few points for providing a fresh vision for the downtown in terms of bricks and mortar. But it's really just a continuation of patchwork construction upgrades which provide little benefit to the city's taxpayers. Forget sipping coffee and eating cake around Gore Park until an alternative is found for the drifters and losers who congregate in the area and really make the place unwelcoming. It'll never have the feeling of a European piazza until the city centre stops being ground zero for half-way and crack houses. Sure, close down traffic, but just expect the downtown to become bigger congregating grounds for undesirables.
By nobrainer (registered) | Posted October 02, 2007 at 08:24:20
Wow, Observer, intolerant much?
"Drifters", "losers", "undesirables"? They're HUMAN BEINGS and maybe they wouldn't be in such bad shape if the rest of us remembered that.
By seancb (registered) - website | Posted October 02, 2007 at 08:26:23
Observer, I think you are wrong about that. Give people a reason to go there and the "undesireables" will find that area less appealing because they won't have full run of the joint anymore. Get a couple cops on horses to hang out there and the seedy behaviour will be limited. As it is now, people can be cracky there all they want because anyone who can do anything about it (police) are whizzing by at 60km/h and don't notice any details.
By seancb (registered) - website | Posted October 02, 2007 at 08:32:10
I think a good approach as far as traffic would be to make main street 2 way east of bay. This way, king street is freed up AND we don't lose that precious "easy access to the downtown" feature that everyone seems to love (i.e. you can get TO the downtown fast, but its harder to get out). That should make the people happy who keep insisting that "getting to downtown" is the main reason to keep the one ways. Bay is also a logical "Escape" for eastbound traffic. I'd change the right turn at queen to a dual lane'r, narrow the stretch from queen to bay (but keep it one way, 3 or 4 lanes) then have a dual left turn onto bay, leaving 1 or 2 lanes eastbound and 1 or 2 lanes westbound past bay.
this might also make the transition easier for later on when we need to put the LRT through there ;-)
By jason (registered) | Posted October 02, 2007 at 08:41:20
yea, there's no homeless or undesirables hanging out in the piazza's over in Europe right??
Mayor Fred is bang on here, and bang on in wanting to do something quick, not wait 5 years for more studies. The downtown BIA will oppose of course, because they like having so many cheque cashing and convenience stores within a 3 block stretch.
The south leg is an absolute no-brainer, and the north leg would work fine from John to James. Transit will be quicker and pedestrians will have free run of the mill, not speeding cars passing by.
Remember, LESS than 1km from King Street is Barton, Cannon, Wilson, Hunter and Charlton.
Another online forum had someone mention that those other streets are too far out of the way to get to, yet folks on the Mountain had plenty of options when Limeridge closed. The Mountain is built on a 1-km grid pattern...all major streets are 1-km apart.
If folks didn't mind detouring 1-km out of their way up there, it should be no problem to detour 1/4 to 3/4 of a km in the lower city and have 5 major streets to choose from in that distance, not just 1.
Today's Spec has an article about this:
Check out the last three paragraphs:
Eisenberger said he was inspired by the Hungarian city of Debrecen, population about 205,000, "whose downtown core was struggling with the same kinds of issues."
A pedestrian mall there, served by a light-rail line, "generated an enormous amount of investment, inspired a whole new view of what their downtown was.
Did he just say "light-rail line"? I think he did.
By Frank (registered) | Posted October 02, 2007 at 08:58:18
Why can't we close of the area from Wellington to James to everything but bus traffic and make Main from Bay to Victoria 2 way? Wellington is already a multi lane street so it wouldn't need to be widened to accommodate traffic from King onto Main. Also, fix up Victoria down to Cannon so you don't leave an axle behind when getting to Cannon and promote those 2 routes as ways around the core. There are a lot of shops in the 2 lane section of downtown that would do great if this happened, not to mention it would improve the look of the place without having to make major infrastructure changes not to mention the fact that if Main is 2 way for that length, it would slow down traffic making the area more livable which would increase ped traffic which would attract business who want to put money into making nice looking shops/boutiques instead of blank grey wall faces.
By Frank (registered) | Posted October 02, 2007 at 09:01:16
Heck if there was a nice looking core and an LRT system to service it I'd make the trip regularly from the Creek to check it out...might even decide to move back downtown...
Public Works will tell you that they won't convert Main to two-way because it carries 40,000 cars a day and WHERE WOULD THE POOR CARS GO?
This city won't really turn around until the Public Works and EcDev departments nake a gestalt shift in their conception of how cities work.
By Frank (registered) | Posted October 02, 2007 at 09:13:08
Traffic patterns and habits won't change until the flow of traffic is restricted. If it's easy to cut through the downtown core, then people won't use the roads around the core. How can the EcDev dept not acknowledge the growth prospective if something like this were to happen??? Isn't that the equivalent of saying that black isn't black?
Great discussion. I hope some of this makes it's way onto the letters/OpEd pages of the Spec and into councilors inbox baskets... :)
It's great for the Mayor to be touting this but it remains to be seen how much public, council and city staff support he will get.
I have some sympathy for the homeless comments. There are indeed many 'less desirable' public spaces around the world which cater only to the folks who frequent the local area. Anyone been to the parks around Dundas and Sherbourne lately? This has nothing to do with having an attitude of understanding (or a lack of it) towards people who are struggling, it's about creating a vibrant atmosphere that is welcoming to everyone. We can be as politicaly correct as we want but sipping coffee across from the Right House and Money Mart is just not going to do it for many folks. I would never advocate for a New York type purging, but I do think there is a case for spreading some of these services around.
While we're on the subject of pedestrianization, there is an on-going discussion in The Star which RTH readers may find interesting (including a letter from me!):
Star Editorial: http://www.thestar.com/comment/article/2... Walk21 Conference: http://www.thestar.com/comment/article/2... Letters: http://www.thestar.com/comment/article/2...
Frank, you're absolutely right. David Cohen wrote a great piece on this last year:
"[Public Works] has not been heretofore known for its love of pedestrians. They have, rather, regarded them as nuisances that must be tolerated but not encouraged. Above all, they must not be allowed to significantly impede traffic flow.
"[T]his will be a walkable city on Public Works' terms. [Mary Lou Tanner, the Manager of Strategic and Environmental Planning for Public Works] said current plans are for King Street to be converted to one-way, but not Main.
"Why? Ed Switenky, Acting Manager, Traffic Engineering and Operations, speaking on behalf of one of the reporting tables, offered a hint: Main is not a good candidate for conversion because of its heavy traffic load - 40,000 cars a day.
"Where will the cars go? Jane Jacobs, if she were still around, would say - don't worry, many will simply disappear. Their drivers will find other means of transportation."
By hmag (anonymous) | Posted October 02, 2007 at 10:56:09
First thing we must do is get The Spec to stop calling it a Pedestrian Mall!!!
That won't help this concept seem real to the many Hamiltonians who are scratching their heads this morning reading our daily rag.
When you say Pedestrian Mall it really does sound horrible....
Call it The Gore - a hub and meeting place in the downtown core. DO NOT CALL IT A PEDESTRIAN MALL. You know the Spec wants to see this proposal die on the vine.
By jason (registered) | Posted October 02, 2007 at 11:05:37
light rail, PLUS a pedestrian zone...now we're talking. Do the south leg immediately and then get to work on LRT and the north leg. This would be amazing for Hamilton....it's up to citizens to contact council and the mayor...if we let the Spec speak for us we'll end up bulldozing much of downtown in order to widen the roads. They are about 60 years behind the reality of today's Hamilton resident. Don't sit back and assume that other are sending emails of support and writing letters to the editor. Everyone needs to.
By Ted Mitchell (registered) | Posted October 02, 2007 at 11:45:34
This is brilliant. Hamilton has a better chance at doing successfully what all cities want but will not commit to - bring back a real downtown.
But it needs a critical mass to jump start it, and this is just the thing. Incremental measures will just be mowed down by traffic and declared failures.
By seancb (registered) - website | Posted October 02, 2007 at 13:13:24
Right on. We all need to show our support. I have already written to Mayor Fred as well as Wards 1, 2 and 3 councillors. See my letter here: http://hammerboard.ca/viewtopic.php?p=31...
Please do the same! I am writing to the Spec next :-)

Let's encourage city hall to run with this:
By Tim Jacobs (registered) | Posted October 02, 2007 at 17:46:52
While I support the new downtown Hamilton piazza, I also urge caution in its design and implementation. Not all pedestrian malls are a success.
Calgary's Stephen Avenue mall--closed to vehicular traffic--languished for years with spotty commerce. It seems that this was so because people could not park on that street. However, in the last five years or so, it has seen a solid resurgence. One wonders if this is simply because of that city's--and Province's--overflowing coffers; all zones eventually fill in during prosperous times.
Regardless, it's important to realize that pedestrian zones only really work because of vehicular traffic surrounding them. Pedestrian zones have to be situated in high density zones and people who drive from outer neighbourhoods have to be able to access them with their cars.
Anyway, just a little more info. I do hope that this plan is implemented and that the city allows local architects to bid on the plan. Reading about Mayor Fred's articulation of an LRT to accompany the pedestrian zone has all but quelled my fears, too.
Tim, you make a very important point. For a transformation to be successful, it needs to incorporate a few simultaneous changes that transform the dynamics downtown and reinforce each other: pedestrianize the South leg of King at the Gore, build light rail rapid transit, switch the east-west routes to two-way, rewriting the downtown zoning to leverage transit-oriented-development, and so on.
Doing any one of these in isolation will produce only mediocre results.

Whatever is done to beautify and socialize Gore Park, the War Memorial and its immediate parameters should be respected and maintained.
By Frank (registered) | Posted October 03, 2007 at 11:46:37
Veteran, if Gore Park is revitalized (which it will most definately be if this goes through) you can bet that more people will know the memorial exists. Right now, people zip by at 60 km/h and never really appreciate what's in the Gore area. There are already several coffee houses on the South side so an immediate change to that side would be relatively simple. The downtown area is marvelous. I've driven through there recently and noticed many changes since I worked down there. Many new businesses and much better looking cleaner buildings. Already steps in the right direction. Let's work on a good LRT system. Expedite a good transit line and those who hate driving downtown already (i.e. those like me) will come visit again to stroll around and check out the shops.
By Frank (registered) | Posted October 03, 2007 at 11:54:58
I just mentioned the proposed changes to one of my coworkers who lives downtown and buses from there to the Creek for work every day. She loved the idea of changing the Gore into a more ped friendly environment as well as the LRT system. Very exciting. Make sure you tell people! Nothing like word of mouth to pressure our councilors into doing something for a change.
By jason (registered) | Posted October 04, 2007 at 20:34:45
you'll be hard-pressed to find anyone who lives downtown that doesn't love this idea. for too long this city has allowed the downtown to languish because joe-blow on the south mountain doesn't think anything should be changed, even though he never comes downtown. the folks who are in the area 7 days a week (like me) know how wonderful downtown already is, and yet how much amazing potential there is. that's one of the biggest problems with the downtown BIA. Their director lives in Caledonia. nothing against the folks in Calendonia, but it's a tiny town. Hamilton is a huge city compared to them. How our most important BIA could even dream of having a small-town leader is beyond me (it's also why they contantly oppose smart ideas like this...a pedestrian zone in Caledonia would never work. Parking lots do).

Brighouse Town showed fine battling qualities to hit back for a 2-2 draw away to Trafford FC in their opening Northern Premier League match of the season yesterday.
Things looked gloomy when Town trailed 2-0 at the break. An Adam Wilson foul enabled Chris McDonagh to score from the penalty spot on 19 minutes and Jack Dorney lobbed Trafford's second just before the break.
However, Jimmy Pollard got the visitors back in the contest two minutes into the second period when he finished from 12 yards after a quick break.
The equaliser came in the 88th minute when Ernest Boafo cashed in on good work from substitute Tom Haigh.
Town are quickly back in action on Monday when they host Ossett Town at St Giles Road.

Many people have noticed that the very first miracle Jesus performed was at a Jewish wedding feast. But did you know that when Jesus wanted to teach His followers about the kingdom of God, He told a parable about a Jewish wedding?
If we want to understand God's kingdom and how we can invest our lives in it, we would do well to first understand Jewish weddings. In this fourth message from the series "How To Invest In Eternity," Dr. David Rhoades provides fresh insight into how the parable of the ten virgins can change the way we view serving God.

The NCAA just announced their field of 68, and there were more than a few surprises.
Ohio State, Kansas, Pittsburgh and Duke earned No. 1 seeds, with the Panthers and Devils getting some ridiculously easy draws. The Big East will send 11 teams to the Big Dance; that's a record for a single conference. Virginia Tech and Colorado didn't get in, but that works for me. This is really just a chance for people to apply their arbitrary method for rankings teams against the NCAA's, so go to town.
But the best tournament pairing might have been the one noticed by SportsPickle's D.J. Gallo:
Rick Pitino's team is playing Morehead State. Well played, selection committee. Well played.
The "First Four" kick off the tournament on Tuesday, but I'm not turning in a bracket before Thursday. Screw those games. You can call them whatever you like, but they're play-in games and always will be.

Sims tonight at the Turf Club
Those Doomtree lads (and lasses) sure know how to stay busy.
After Cecil Otter performed at the Uptown Bar as part of the fabled venue's farewell run, Sims goes solo tonight at the Turf Club. Vocally, Sims is the Q-Tip of the Doomtree collective, the easy-breezy, rasped upper register rap that manages to be menacing and non-chalant in the same rhyme.
Winter's coming, and so is the busiest month of the year for Doomtree. Their annual blowout show, which has been a runaway success since its inception a few years ago, rolls around this December, and P.O.S. returns to the Main Room on his own accord to headline a show with Moonstone and Slapping Purses (see why we love this guy?).
But tonight's show is a glimpse of why Doomtree is such a dynamic entity. Sims is a wildly talented MC, who never waxes overly poetic, never falls back on easy tropes, and is always an on-point performer. With DJ TRL's Cicrus dance partty in the Clown Lounge, there's no excuse for staying inside tonight, no matter how far the mercury plummets.
21+. 9:00 P.M. $6.00. Turf Club, 1601 University Avenue, Saint Paul.

Marcus Campbell is the first playable character in State of Decay. In the DLC Breakdown, Marcus is a hero character titled "The Hero".
Unlocking the characterEdit
- In Breakdown, Marcus can be unlocked from level 4, by achieving 100 kills with a Heavy Weapon.
- Marcus is one of the few survivors that has two out of three Personal skills that benefit exploring: Powerhouse and Leadership. With Leadership skill, Marcus is a natural choice for any missions meant to improve trust, or for recruiting survivors.
- Voice actor: Drew Hobson.
- Ed Jones - Marcus and Ed are friends and co-workers, being on a camping trip to get away from their jobs. They seem to show a close bond, as Ed rarely questions the judgement of Marcus, showing that Ed gives a high respect for him. It should also be noted that if Ed dies, Marcus will immediately go into Depression, in which suicide is possible, when the notification appears that Ed has died. This will only occur, however, if Ed dies following the attack by the re-animated Thomas Ritter.
- Maya Torres - While scavaging and searching for other campsites at the top of Mt. Tanner, Marcus and Ed hear distant gunshots, which lead to the attacked Maya Torres. It is shown that even though the three just met, a bond between them is immediatly formed even before they arrive at the Church. Another factor showing this is that Maya opens up about herself if playing as Marcus when heading to the Church of the Ascension.
- Lily Ritter - Upon leaving Mt. Tanner, the group (Marcus, Maya, and Ed) are contacted by Lily via radio. Upon describing their situation, Lily suggest they come join them at the Church, in which Marcus shows delight in. After arrival and introductions, the journal entry about Lily suggests she "seems friendlier than most around here".

finding inspiration
breakfast special, Dench, Nth Fitzroy
Just as I'm looking at work from a different angle, my kitchen mojo has returned (no doubt helped by the recent cook-along). Two inspired experiments this week, requiring a digital note to self for future reference.
Number one needs no real recipe - just a simple risotto with new season asparagus, garlic and shallots. Towards the end of cooking I added a little lemon zest and sorrel. For the dairy tolerant some marinated soft goats cheese tossed through before serving would be perfect.
Chard and flathead pastries
Thaw some good quality puff pastry.
Set the oven to 180c.
Sauté onion and garlic in olive oil til soft
Gather your favourite leafy greens (with a garden full of rainbow chard, cavolo nero and sorrel at the moment it's a necessity), rinse well and chop roughly.
Add to the onions and cook for til wilted. Season with sea salt and pepper.
Squeeze a little lemon juice, add some zest too if desired.
Take the mixture off the heat and allow to cool.
Chop some flathead tails. If making small parcels, you only need 3 or 4 small chunks per pastry.
Cut pastry into squares (or circles if you want cute, semi-circular pastries). Fold on the diagonal to make a triangle, open out and use the fold line to mark half of the pastry to add the filling. Leave a centimetre around the edge. Add a spoonful of the vegetable mixture and dot with chunks of fish. Fold the pastry, add a little water around the edges to help them stick and crimp together. Puncture the top of a pastry with a fork.
Bake til golden, about 20 minutes.

Leicester won't win title... but who will? Predicted final Premier League table revealed
LEICESTER won't win the Premier League title - despite being five points clear.
That's according to stats geeks at Football Web Pages, who use complex computer algorithms to generate predicted results for the rest of the season.
The Foxes saw off Newcastle last night but they will have to settle for the runners-up spot.
Predictors instead have Tottenham coming out on top with 78 points, two clear of Leicester.
Arsenal fans have spent years teasing Spurs and warning them to 'mind the gap'.
But it'll be the other way round this year with Arsenal way back on 70 points - eight points adrift of the table-toppers.
Manchester City and West Ham finish level on 65 but goal difference ensures Pep Guardiola will enjoy Champions League football next year.
Fierce rivals United come home sixth, Southampton seventh and Liverpool eighth.
At the bottom, Aston Villa are doomed for the drop and will end on just 20 points.
But there will be a three-way tie between the other relegation battlers.
Sunderland, Norwich and Newcastle all are predicted to end up on 33 points, with goal difference saving the Black Cats.
Champions Chelsea, meanwhile, wind up in 10th.
So there you go - that's the last few months of the season ruined for you!
Congratulations Tottenham Hotspur, Premier League champions…

Ten years of the Moneymaker Boom
I expect 2013 to be a busy year for me in a lot of ways, and I'm really looking forward to it. Of course, when I look forward to the new year one thought immediately springs to mind.
Has it really been ten years?
It's kind of crazy to think that the 10th anniversary of my win in the 2003 WSOP Main Event is almost here. It's been a wild ride -- kind of a fairy tale in a lot of ways, and a lot of fun, too.
I know next year I'll be doing some promotional work related to the big anniversary. And I'll have some pretty cool commemorative stuff coming out as well. So there will be a lot of thinking about the past, but to be honest I'm really focused a lot on the future right now, too.
One new venture I'm really looking forward to is my new radio show for ESPN, "The Chris Moneymaker Radio Show," a poker-themed talk show I'm doing with a buddy of mine. We'll bring on guests periodically, talk about various poker destinations, and really anything else that comes to mind. We've run a few test shows already, about five or so, and have had Norman Chad, Joe Hachem, and Greg Raymer on as guests so far. The show will air on some of the ESPN affiliates in the northeast U.S. and will also be available as a podcast. So I'm really excited about that.
I also expect to be playing a lot in 2013. I'll be relocating to Toronto in order to play more online, so I'll be going up there frequently to grind on Sundays and during the WCOOP and at other times. I'm planning to work real hard with a couple of friends and to play more live tournaments next year, too.
Right now I'm looking at playing all of the EPTs and all of the LAPTs, and really have a full schedule so as to give myself a good shot to do some good things in 2013. Additionally, I'm one of the lead instructors for the WPT Boot Camp, so I'll be involved a little more in poker training in the coming year as well as with playing more.
It truly is amazing to think about how much poker has grown over the last decade, not to mention how much the game has changed since 2003. Obviously it's the same game -- you still get two cards and so on. But outside of that, everything about the game is completely different, which really is why poker remains so interesting and challenging.
So while I'll be looking back, I'm looking ahead, too, and excited about playing and talking about poker in 2013.

Midwestern Drought, Ethanol, & Renewable Fuel Standard — R-Squared Energy TV Ep. 26
By Dave Swenson on July 19, 2012 at 4:19 pm
While it may well be the case that the existing corn mandate will be met, there are strong indications that some plants may not make it through this high price cycle. Existing margins are, according to models, in the red and have been for several months, and there are rumblings of folks struggling to meet just their marginal costs.
We may see round two of the shake out that was led by Vera Sun's collapse in 2008. Buying a de-bugged plant at 30 cents on the dollar makes some firms way more resilient than those who built when prices were highest and are still hanging in there.
By Robert Rapier on July 19, 2012 at 4:22 pm
Dave, I agree. Capacity was overbuilt following the original RFS, and RFS2 came to the rescue. I don't see RFS3 riding to the rescue this time. There is likely to be a shakeout and some of the higher cost producers will be forced out of business.
There is little doubt that the current run-up in corn prices will greatly complicate life for the Ethanolistas since the the affordable food for the world crowd (and that is most of us–properly deputized or not:) will demand adjustments to (further) ease the burden on food v. fuel. Will this enhance the political opening for those who already hold a grudge against biofuel–or at least alcohol fuels? Probably. Is there any risk that ag-state Republicans of the Midwest/South will begin to go wobbly with an onslaught of criticism from the more conservative element of their party? Possibly. Are there similar prospects that Blue-dog Democrats who continue to see the growing heartburn of their constituents about Uncle Sam's tidal wave of red ink will reconsider their support of some biofuel incentives? Probably. Does this specter of second-thoughts present a scenario where some foundational adjustments will be made to the RFS to reflect a now fully mature biofuel industry that has increasingly brought the world's largest energy and chemical companies into the production mix (and as some may say, feeding at the trough)? Probably. This session of Congress witnessed the elimination of ethanol tax credits. What will the next Congress introduce into the (r)evolution of the bioenergy industry? Well, I can promise that it will be less than what we really need and much more than what defenders of the status-quo are willing to accept. Nothing new there, eh.
By Russ Finley on July 21, 2012 at 1:10 pm
Kudos on that comment.
What the next congress needs to do is impose a national mandate for CTL/GTL fuel in the national blend.. start at 1%

U.S. Border Patrol agents in Texas have discovered four cases of the H1N1 flu strain among illegal immigrant children held at two detention centers in Brownsville in the past two days, National Border Patrol Council Vice President Chris Cabrera told Newsmax on Saturday.
Medical personnel at each of the centers, the Brownsville and Fort Brown Border Patrol stations, confirmed one case each on Friday and Saturday, he said. The minors are 10 to 12 years old.
"Everybody's who been in contact with them now is suspect that they have gotten it," Cabrera said in an interview. "That's what we're dealing with now."
As many as 120 people have been isolated at the two centers after being exposed to the minors, he said. Medical professionals at the detention centers screen illegals for lice, scabies, and chicken pox — but not everyone receives medical clearance, he said.
"We've had to quarantine the area and everybody who came in contact with them," he added. Border Patrol officials have also notified federal health officials of the situation — and agents will have to be vaccinated as a precaution.
"The flu can be dangerous, and swine flu even more so," he said. "We're still crowded. We're still overcrowded."

Morsi Gives Himself Sweeping Powers
Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi on Thursday banned any opposition to his decrees—and he ordered a retrial of those accused of shooting at protesters during the 2011 demonstrations that brought down former president Hosni Mubarak. It's unclear if the retrial will affect Mubarak himself, who is currently serving a life sentence for ordering the shooting. Egyptian opposition leader Mohamed ElBaradei said Morsi is attacking like a "new pharaoh" as thousands have gathered this past week at Tahrir Square in demonstrations demanding political reform. Morsi has gained new power after taking a role as an international mediator during the Israeli-Gaza conflict.

Chinese manufacturer Lenovo has introduced a new phone to its local market called 'Le Lemon'. It is a fully blown but low end smartphone that costs 599 yuan (about $100). Check it out here.
Lemons are not exactly symbols of high quality in the west – in fact they symbolise junk products. But apparently that is not the case in The Middle Kingdom, where the 'elegant yellow' colour of this phone is regarded as auspicious.
It's being advertised as a Music Phone, and has above average speakers. Its specs are otherwise run of the mill, but nowadays even that is good enough. The Chinese 4G market is booming, and Lemons are coming into season.
Rough translation of the ad (courtesy of Google Translate with just a little journalistic licence):
Legend Music Lemon K3 (K30-T) version 16G 4G Mobile Edition (elegant yellow) TD-LTE / TD-SCDMA / GSM dual SIM dual standby.
Le Lemon K3 – a really good thing! We've put the effort into building the new king of phones! It's hot! You can buy it from 10:00 on 12 December. Click here to win one!

Coinciding with Comic-Con International in San Diego, Dark Horse has announced that its first four-issue "Let Me In" miniseries by Marc Andreyko, Patric Reynolds, and cover artist Sean Phillips, will begin shipping in December. The project, first announced at the Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo, will tie in with the October-debuting movie "Let Me In," the American film based on the nuanced vampire novel "Let the Right One In," which has previously been released as an acclaimed film from Sweden. CBR News caught up with the creative team of Marc Andreyko and Patric Reynolds to discuss the "Let Me In: Crossroads" miniseries.
The Dark Horse series will tie in with the American film version of "Let Me In," which recasts the characters Eli and Oskar as Abby and Owen, respectively. The world established in the movie will present Andreyko and Reynolds with the opportunity to tell a number of original stories. "Abby (Eli) is the catalyst for this story as her feral vampirism reverberates across the lives of anyone who is unfortunate enough to cross her path," Andreyko said of the comic.
Newly-released information reveals that "Crossroads" will find Abby, the childlike vampire, and her caretaker struggling against the machinations of a real estate tycoon scheming to wrest control of their homestead by any means necessary. Beyond that, it would seem vampires are not the worst monsters in this town. Andreyko further revealed that the story would be set in 1982, just before the opening scenes of the new film. As for the motive behind the developer's brutal actions, the reason is pretty straightforward. "The property is valuable because it stands right in the center of a new retail development. And they don't want to sell," Andreyko told CBR. But Abby isn't the only one feeling the brunt of this tycoon's aggression. "He has a son-in-law and their relationship makes Will H. Macy and Harve Presnel's relationship (in 'Fargo') look positively warm and fuzzy."
Reynolds, the artist, added, "To me, this a very interesting thing because I get to take these existing characters and use them to turn everything into a visual experience that is unexpected," Reynolds said. "People will be less likely to compare it to the film as they read and more likely let this series stand on its own, yet it will still be a part of the menagerie of 'Let Me In.' The reader still gets to be see the characters under similar pressures that they've seen in the films, but in new and unexpected ways that Marc Andreyko and cover artist Sean Phillips are creating. It's almost like building a foundation to the experiences you've seen and read about in the films and book.
"The nice thing about a character like Abby is that no one knows how old she is, and she could have centuries' worth of stories to tell," Reynolds continued. "This particular story arc focuses on a rural setting at a time when expectations for a brighter future were marred by the monstrosities that human beings were and are still capable of. Like the great George Romero zombie movies, the 'normal' humans are more monstrous than the actual monsters are. This holds true in Marc's script. Sure, Abby is a monster, but she he has to be to survive. Unlike Abby, these humans actually can choose not to be destructive or hurtful to satisfy their own desires. But its that lack of discretion that makes them more frightening than her. Marc makes each page drip with that kind of darkness. This story is in good hands."
"The most interesting thing from the book and the films is the parallel lives the characters lead," Andreyko said. "In a lot of ways, Abby and the people around her are variations on similar emotional themes, except Abby isn't bound by society's mores. She is total 'id,' and once that monster in unleashed, it isn't going back in the box until it feeds."
Given that the protagonists of "Let the Right One In"/"Let Me In" are children (or appear to be), CBR asked Andreyko whether it's difficult to write from this perspective or write scenes of some pretty nasty things happening to and being perpetrated by kids. "It might bother me if all I was writing was exploitation or torture porn, but the source materials handle horrific things happening with an almost haunting beauty and elegance," he said. "It is a delicate balance, presenting something artfully while still maintaining the sense of horror of the events themselves."
Reynolds also noted that Abby's deceptive physical appearance adds another layer of challenge to portraying her as a child. "Abby is not even close to being as young as she appears. I have to make sure that even though she looks like a twelve year old, that she projects centuries of pain, loneliness and suffering. I have to make sure I can make her project that through her eyes especially, make them look like craters of time without looking like holes. I have to get a body type, but I also have to get a projection of a character," Reynolds said.
CBR also asked whether the comic series would address some of the disturbing aspects of the novel that were largely excised from the Swedish film, such as Eli/Abby's true childhood and certain particulars regarding her caretaker. As the series is aligned with the American film, though, Andreyko could not reveal what would or would not be incorporated from the book. "I'm working from the mythology that the american film establishes. How similar or different that is from the novel, well, I'm not spilling anything. And trust me, what is being set up is so cool, you want to be surprised. And, trust me, you will be," he said.
Reynolds, though a relative newcomer, is the artist on two major Dark Horse projects in 2010, with the one-shot "Serenity: Float Out" by Patton Oswalt - released in June - and "Let Me In" at the end of the year. Reynolds described being in the spotlight as "pretty surreal." "I never thought of myself as being accessible, both artistically and personally, to such a wide audience of people. But comic book artists (especially one who's been lucky enough to work on some pretty big titles) are, for sure," he said. "A lot of people will begin to know you, or at least your work, and you've never even met them. That's both exciting and strange. I got my first (and only) fan letter when I was doing 'Abe Sapien: The Haunted Boy,' from a really cool guy named Jason. He talked about how much he liked reading the book, and made me realize that I have a bigger impact on people's reading experience than I think I do. You never know just what kind of impression your work leaves on people. I hope I leave a lasting one, but for some reason, I'm always surprised when it actually happens.
"Everything you put on the page is exposed and subject to all kinds of judgment and reactions; your work becomes an extension of people's perception of you," Reynolds continued. "When my first gigs with Dark Horse started getting published, I was a little shy about it. I was pretty excited, but I didn't like bragging about it. I always felt that I was pretty lucky to get work in the first place, and the next job I got could be my last. Even now, I try and downplay it. At the end of the day, I'm just a nerd making comics. I think its pretty important to stay grounded, not get ahead of myself, always be willing to learn from anyone, and just 'run hard' so to speak. My best page is always going to be the next one.
"That being said, this current 'Let Me In' miniseries is going to keep me busy for a while...at least until November. After that, who knows? I hope there's more on the horizon, but I think this will be enough for right now. Of course I'd love to be considered for more things, but I have to not mess this one up first."
In describing his process of bringing the American actors' likenesses to the series, Reynolds also discussed his process of establishing the comic's mood and auditioning for the series. "Right before I started working on 'Float Out,' Scott [Allie] told me that Dark Horse was negotiating to get to do a miniseries based off of this film called 'Let the Right One In,' and sent along a clip of the movie. I hadn't even heard of the movie before. The clip was that beautifully gory swimming pool scene, and I was mesmerized by its bloody elegance," Reynolds said. "Scott told me that I should do a few sample pages, to 'audition' for the job should Dark Horse land it. I chose to illustrate the scene where Oskar doesn't invite Eli into his house, and she basically starts bleeding to death. But, since this miniseries was going to use American actors, I had to put them (Chloe Moertz and Kodi Smit-McPhee) into the roles of the Swedish kids. So I had to put the American actor's likeness onto the Swedish actor's bodies, and change their hairstyles a bit. Fortunately, Abby is always going to be about twelve, no matter when and where her stories takes place, she's going to basically look the same. The people in charge of 'Let Me In' were pretty specific about Abby having the same kind of physical appearance (long, stringy hair always tucked behind her ears, etc.) as she does in the upcoming film."
The original Swedish film's dark, somewhat subdued aesthetic was instrumental in setting the tone and causing it to resonate with viewers, and Reynolds said his own art would naturally follow these lines. "Fortunately, my aesthetic style is a bit unsettling to being with, just because everything looks so darn wonky," Reynolds said. I like to use an old school crowquill pen when I ink, because I like getting that agitated line. It just seems to give everything a bounce or a tension that I think would fit a story like this pretty well. This artistic choice renders things sort of realistically, but it's expressionistic enough that it doesn't quite sit right. This concept was very palpable in 'Let the Right One In.' One of the things I liked about the film is that it could have also been done in black and white and been just as powerful. It was more about contrast and space than color and action. There was that stark yet beautiful contrast of large areas of white and black always playing against each other, and hopefully I can convey that in this arc.
"I should also mention Dave Stewart, since he and I really like working together. For this miniseries, Dave and Scott really wanted to make it special, really wanted to explore new aesthetic directions in certain areas," Reynolds added. "Dave suggested that he and I start creating a 'morgue' file where he and I would put examples of our influences as artists (such as Jason Alexander, Kent Williams, Austin Briggs, Stephane Levallois, etc.) so that we could get a good bank of ideas and examples of more creative ways to make a visual narrative. Whenever one of us would come across a part of the script that we think would look interesting with a more painterly or otherwise more 'creative' approach, we'd give each other a heads up, talk about it, and sketch it out. We're thinking of taking some of these different approaches in certain parts of the story, such as flashbacks or dreams. We both agreed that we would try not overuse these techniques to the point that they would distract from the storytelling. Yeah, we want it to look cool, but we also want you to be able to continue reading the book as well. It's going to be a pretty intense reading experience, I can tell you that. Buckle up!"
Of course, the subtle horror of the two existing versions of "Let the Right One In" - and, presumably, the upcoming "Let Me In" film and comic series - also served in setting the story apart from standard vampire fare. "One of the things I like about the movie so much was that it handled most of the more violent scenes with a good deal of suggestion rather than with clear graphic details," Reynolds said. "You'd just see Eli from a distance feeding on some poor guy...but you couldn't clearly hear her sucking the blood out of his neck. You knew what was happening, but couldn't really see it. One of my favorite scenes in 'Let the Right One In' is the aforementioned swimming pool scene, where you never go above the surface of the water during the whole altercation. You just see feet being dragged through the water, a disembodied head floating in the far background and blood spreading like a stain into the viewer's space. You can hear the muffled screams from the carnage above, but you never see it happening. It was so effective, because it invited you to create what was going on above the water in your head. You had to actively participate in the experience. Hopefully I can take this kind of approach, and turn it into something beautiful."

Searching has always be fun and easy on Google. But even then, it is not always that easy and simple. There are times when 'you know what you want to search' but the search engine might not be able to help due to ambiguities related with the keyword you are trying to search.
But things are going to be much simple from now. There is something new that Google has made for you. What I am talking about is the 'Google Knowledge Graph'.
Google Knowledge Graph
The Google Knowledge Graph is a new tool introduced by Google in order to make the Google search engine more efficient and smart. It will help you discover new information quickly and easily. It is like a helping hand, which will start filtering and narrowing your query right from the time you start your search so that you do not waste time on things that look or sound similar to what you want BUT are not what you are looking for.
Rather than trying to explain to you what the 'Knowledge Graph' is, I would like to use the example given by Google. So suppose you want to search for 'Taj Mahal'. Now according to the search trend, what happens is that the words 'Taj' and 'Mahal' are used as search keywords and matched with all the content present in the search engine database. But the words 'Taj Mahal' mean a lot more and the user can find what he is looking for, if the search engine could dig deep into the meaning of these words. With Knowledge Graph, Google does exactly the same. 'Taj Mahal' can be referred to as one of the most beautiful monuments of the world, or an Award Winning Musician, or a Casino or even a hotel.
Check out the sample image below. On searching for 'Taj Mahal' look at all the different results you get on the right hand side all thanks to the new Knowledge Graph.
Hence with the help of Knowledge Graph, Google allows you to search for people; things or places that Google knows about and hence help you with your search.
How does it work?
You do not have to do anything at all to make it work. All you need to do is search for your query as usual. Once you start the search process, the right hand side of the screen will be taken over by Knowledge Graph. This space will provide you with additional information, facts and other helpful details regarding your query.
So if you go to Google Search and type the query 'kings', Google will immediately display the normal search results for kings but at the same time will show you additional information on the right hand side using the Knowledge Graph. So it will give you options like the Los Angeles KINGS hockey team, the Sacramento KINGS basketball team or the KINGS TV show. And if you click on any one of these links, then your search results will be filtered and totally related to that particular topic only.
How powerful is it?
Well this is a really good question and the answer is even better. Google said that they have been working on this project for 2 years and have been collecting a lot of information about people, places and other popular queries that can be presented to the user along with the main search results.
Google has made a huge database with the help of Wikipedia, the CIA Factbook and many other sources. They now have a database that has more than 500 million entities. Needless to say that the size will keep on increasing day by day!
So no matter what you are searching for, you can always expect an excellent range of related search topics from Google Knowledge Graph.
There are 3 main ways in which Knowledge Graph will help you.
1. Find the Right Thing
As discussed earlier, if your query was Taj Mahal then Knowledge Graph will give you different options like The Monument Taj Mahal, The Hotel Taj Mahal etc. Once you select the first option, all your search results will be related to 'The Monument Taj Mahal' and no other Taj Mahal results will be shown.
2. Get the Best Summary
Depending upon your search query, Knowledge Graph will give you a lot of other information that surrounds your query. So if your query is 'Taj Mahal', then you will get a lot of other details and summary about your query like when was it built, who built it, for whom was it built, which year was it built in etc. You will be provided with almost all the information you might be looking for.
3. Go Deeper and Broader
Knowledge Graph helps you go deeper and broader. While searching Taj Mahal, you will also get information about other such monuments and their historical significance, about the person who made the Taj Mahal and his history etc. What I mean to say is, Knowledge Graph will start answering the 'Next Question' that might come to your mind once you find the basic results of your search query.
What Next?
Google believes that the 'Knowledge Graph' will create a new benchmark in the field of searching. It is said to do wonders for the users and help them save a lot of time and efforts. The algorithms used will also reduce the displaying of search results that are not really related to the query but come up on top just due to page ranks.
The Knowledge Graph is said to help the users and at the same time enhance business for Google by keeping the users on Google for a longer time.

Asbestos Waste Disposal Service
Asbestos waste collection options
This is merely one of the means of transport which we use on a daily basis to handle the disposal of asbestos. It comes in handy especially in locations where there is no place for parking. During the process, the material is safely wrapped in a heavy duty packages. The roof of the van is removable which allows for a digger loading.
Up to 2.5 Tonne waste capacity
In our offer, you will also find skips of various sizes which are used for dumping asbestos. Rest assured though, all the regulations are complied with and the waste is securely bagged.
Up to 3 Tonne waste capacity
This one is the biggest container we have at our disposal. It can accomodate any type of waste (for example cement) and is usually used during major redecoration works. Also in that example, all the remnants are stored in such a way that does not allow for accidental exposure.
Up to 10 Tonne waste capacity
Can I do it myself?
At first sight, that might seem like a viable option to some people. After all, what is the risk that something will happen to me? The truth is, though, that getting rid of that nightmarish material is really a tough act both because of the risk and the required expertise. Asbestos disposal is usually preceded by a thorough survey and testing and that is why it is of such paramount importance to delegate that task to professionals – getting rid of it yourself you may expose yourself to a deadly asbestos fibre and not even remove all of the material.
Where is it disposed of?
Blue A Ltd is an environmentally-minded company that does not leave such things to luck. We by all means abide by the local regulations which indicate the precise landfills which are prepared to receive asbestos and handle it properly. Using our service you can thus be sure that the job will be done in a timely and professional manner, with all the necessary safety and environmental guidelines in mind.
