Lyanna Stark
this wiki
- "That's Lyanna, my father's sister. King Robert was supposed to marry her, but Rhaegar Targaryen kidnapped her. Robert started a war to win her back, he killed Rhaegar, but she died anyway."
- ―Bran Stark at Lyanna's tomb
Lyanna Stark is an unseen character in Game of Thrones. She is deceased when the events of the series begin. Lyanna Stark is the younger sister of major character Eddard Stark. Her kidnap by Prince Rhaegar Targaryen contributed to the outbreak of Robert's Rebellion. How she died isn't fully explained.
Lyanna Stark was the only daughter of Lord Rickard Stark. Rickard was the head of House Stark and Lord Paramount of the North. The North is one of the constituent regions of the Seven Kingdoms and House Stark is one of the Great Houses of the realm. House Stark rule the region from their seat of Winterfell and Rickard also held the title Lord of Winterfell.[1]
Lyanna had three brothers, Brandon, Eddard and Benjen Stark. Her father arranged her to be betrothed to Lord Robert Baratheon. She was abducted for reasons unknown by Prince Rhaegar Targaryen, the heir to the Iron Throne, who took her south and hid her away in Dorne.[2] Her brother Brandon, who had been on his way to Riverrun to wed Catelyn Tully, instead went to King's Landing to demand Rhaegar's arrest and punishment. King Aerys II Targaryen had him and all his companions charged with treason. He demanded all their fathers, including Lord Rickard Stark, come to King's Landing and promised they would receive a trial. Instead the King had them all burned alive, except for Brandon who strangled himself trying to save his father.[3] This sparked the uprising known as Robert's Rebellion. Jon Arryn was commanded to arrest and turn over his wards Robert Baratheon and Eddard Stark. All three rose in rebellion, along with Hoster Tully of Riverrun, after Jon Arryn and Eddard Stark married his daughters. The war saw House Targaryen almost completely destroyed and Robert installed as king. During the war Lyanna died from unknown causes in Eddard's arms, after her rescue.[4] As per her request, she was buried next to her brother Brandon in the crypts at Winterfell.[5] Robert continued to mourn her despite becoming King and marrying Cersei Lannister.[4] Eddard was angry at Robert since he felt that Tywin Lannister and his army ought to face justice for the Sack of King's Landing. Their friendship was rekindled over the mutual grief for Lyanna.[6]
Season 1King Robert Baratheon visits Lyanna's tomb under Winterfell almost immediately after arriving. As part of their romance, he would bring her feathers from an exotic southern bird. During this visit, he places one in the hand of her statue. Robert says the statue doesn't do her justice. He becomes emotional and tells Eddard how he relives killing Rhaegar Targaryen again and again in his dreams for what he did to Lyanna. He asks Eddard if it was necessary to bury Lyanna in a cold tomb rather than somewhere in the sunlight, but Eddard responds that she was of the North and of House Stark; this is her place.[7]
In King's Landing, Robert shares a drink with his wife, Cersei Lannister, and they begin to talk about Lyanna Stark for the first time in their marriage. Robert tells her how much Lyanna meant to him, even though now he cannot even remember her face. He says, "She was the only thing I ever wanted, someone took her away from me, and Seven Kingdoms couldn't fill the hole she left." Cersei reminds him that she once had feeling for him. She asks if there had ever been even a moment when he had loved her. Robert says no. He asks her if that makes her feel better or worse. Cersei cannot even feel sorrow at this. She says that she doesn't feel anything anymore. [8]
When Eddard discovers that Cersei has been having an incestuous affair with her twin brother Jaime, he confronts her. Lord Eddard says he knows that she always hated Robert. Cersei tells him she loved Robert. When she was young and he was handsome and muscular. All the girls wanted him, and he was hers. But then, that love turned to hate on their wedding night, when he came to bed drunk and afterwards muttered Lyanna's name in her ear.[9]Bran Stark shows Osha the tombs under Winterfell and gives a quick summary of the events leading to the civil war: how Rhaegar kidnapped Lyanna, who was betrothed to Robert Baratheon, and the Mad King then killed Lyanna's brother and father, triggering the war.[10]
Family tree
- "Do you want to know the horrible truth? I can't even remember what she looked like. All I know is that she was the one thing I ever wanted. Someone took her from me and seven kingdoms couldn't fill the hole she left behind."
- ―Robert Baratheon to Cersei Lannister about Lyanna
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Lyanna does appear, albeit only in flashbacks and visions. She is described as intelligent, tomboyish and willful, frequently compared to her niece Arya in terms of temperament, but also beautiful. When Robert says that Lyanna would never have opposed him vehemently as Cersei does, Ned notes that Robert either overlooked or had forgotten Lyanna's iron will. It is also implied she was not as passionate about her betrothal as Robert was. She knew about Robert's philandering ways and felt his love for her wouldn't stop him sleeping with other women. When Rhaegar Targaryen won the great tourney at Harrenhal, he crowned her the Queen of Love and Beauty over his own wife, an action that stunned all present. During the war she was hidden at a remote location and defended by three members of the Kingsguard, whom Eddard and his retainers had to kill. Only Eddard and Howland Reed, a vassal of House Stark, survived. However, she died from unknown causes before they could successfully rescue her. Her last words were: "Promise me, Ned."
Lyanna's death instilled in Robert a great hatred of the Targaryens, and he vowed not to rest until every last scion of the house was killed, though Eddard refused to let Lyanna's tragic death skew his views on justice and mercy.

Below is an answer that I recently gave to a question about the Bonus Pool. It is not uncommon for applicants to misunderstand the Bonus Pool and therefore look at the Pool like a cost, rather than an innovative benefit. I hope that the answer is helpful.
If an enrolled Founder chooses to join the Bonus Pool, then the Founder contributes 3.5% of their company in the form of warrants to a Bonus Pool. In exchange, the Founder receives a share in the cash returns of the Pool.
If one Graduate sells for $200 MM, this may return $4 MM to the Bonus Pool after some dilution and purchasing the warrants. In such a circumstance, another Graduate from the same semester might receive a Bonus Pool check for $80,000. This return is not an investment. It's a personal bonus. It's cash to use for anything you want, from groceries to servers.
All Founder Institute stakeholders share in the Bonus Pool, including local Mentors and local Directors, and there is a separate Pool for each graduating semester. Founders get 30% of the Pool, Mentors get another 30%, local Directors and partners get 25% and the Institute keeps 15% as a long-term management fee. The indivual portion that each Mentor receives depends on the anonymous ratings they receive from the Founders. The point here is that everybody's interests are aligned in creating the best possible pool of companies.
Graduates share in the upside from the success of their peers through the Bonus Pool. This creates an unusual level of camaraderie. It also reduces the risk of creating a startup. Any one startup has a high chance of failure, but there is much greater odds for success across 10, 15 or 20 Graduates. You can fail and still see upside from your efforts in the Institute.
Ultimately, the 3.5% and the Bonus Pool are a benefit that is unique to the Founder Institute. Instead of selling equity for a few thousand dollars, you are personally participating in the long-term success of your peers. You get upside once reserved for savvy investors.

- The Artist
A pioneering and inventive photographer, Toni Frissell (1907 – 1988) effectively utilized a still camera to capture an abundance of action. Working for Vogue and Harper's Bazaar, Frissell took photography out of the studio, shooting unprecedented fashion photos of active women outdoors. She was the first female photographer for Sports Illustrated, and was one of the only women taking sports photos for several decades. Frissell also took battlefront photos during World War II, utilizing her emotive images to encourage support for women and African-Americans in the military. Preferring small cameras that provided spontaneous-looking photographs, Frissell produced an astounding 340,000 images in her lifetime.

Comments On May 15, 2013:I researched this gas cap and found it will work with older model KLR650 IMS gas tanks. The newer IMS tanks have a different thread and will not work with this cap. I was tired of losing breather hoses on the gas cap that was supplied with my IMS tank. I found this locking cap had internal vents that made the breather hose not necessary. This was my main goal, but after using this gas cap for 1 month I have grown to like the locking feature. This gas cap is well made and works flawlessly for me.

This is an excerpt from BRUISED REEDS And Other Stories by Alfred H. Deutsch, O.S.B. (Collegeville, MN: Saint John's University Press, 1971), pp. [i]-8. Copyright © 1971 by The Order of Saint Benedict, Inc.
Father Alfred was born in 1914 in St. Paul, came for his high school studies to St. John's Prep, and almost never left again. He entered the monastery in 1933 and was ordained into the priesthood in 1940. During the War years of 1941-45, he was at the University of Illinois, completing his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in English literature. At the time of the thinly fictionalized post-War events that he tells of in Bruised Reeds, Fr. Alfred was Dean of the Prep School. After six years as dean, he became a full-time professor of English and was chair of the English Department until 1969. His other administrative work included such posts as Rector of St. John's Seminary (1971-1977). Fr. Alfred died in 1989.
A bruised reed he will not break
and a dimly burning wick he will not quench.
-Isaiah 42:3
Let the Abbot keep his own frailty ever before his eyes
and remember that the bruised reed must not be broken.
-The Rule of St. Benedict, ch. 64
To use the standard apology that any similarity to persons living or dead is purely coincidental would be the most fictitious statement in this book. Anyone associated with St. John's Abbey more than ten years could hardly overlook similarities to monks who have lived out their lives in the environs of the Abbey. Likewise, any who have lived close to the monastery would know that the persons and events depicted are not historically accurate.
What attempts to be accurate is the portrayal of a style of life lived not many decades ago, and to a great extent still lived, at St. John's Abbey, and probably in many other religious communities. The stories began as a series of portrayals of the different ways men lived their Benedictine vows; of the ways in which they maintained their individuality while moving in the same direction of seeking God. In retrospect, they force a recognition that religious people before Vatican II had not been automatons made will-less by their vows of obedience, even when living under forceful superiors.
No attempt has been made to authenticate the events portrayed in these stories, nor was any research done into the lives of the characters drawn here. They are purely the reconstruction of the memories and gossip that I have accumulated in my own almost forty years of living in the same community that created these persons. I hope that the tone will show the reverence and love I hold for these who have been my teachers.
A footnote in history will doubtless record that some time late in the twentieth century the English language lost from its active vocabulary - active, that is, among a fairly restricted group of people - the word monastery and the word monk. The predicted loss is not, however, a prophecy that men will cease to live in groups in one house under the governance of an Abbot (that term, too, is probably doomed to loss), because the history of mankind for two millennia has shown almost a natural tendency for a certain type of individual to want to cluster together in a common life under an elected leader, in order to go about the necessary business of finding eternal salvation, or perhaps human salvation.
There might be dozens of underlying reasons for discarding these words which crept into the language in the days of Alfred of Wessex, but the coup de grace will have been delivered by the eminent psychologist who first framed the term identity crisis. Like any other human beings, monks also are subject to the trends and whims and fads of the society from which they never quite separate themselves - and this contributes to the crisis. The lack of precise definition of these words unsettles those who need to know exactly who they are. Another blow will have been struck by the public relations man who coined the word image to connote the congeries of meanings and pictures evoked by a certain name or term. Put the identity crisis into the same arena with the image and a huge cloud of dust arises. {p. 4 begins}
The word monastery conjures up for some the imagined world of Walter Scott, who wrote fictitiously about abbeys: medieval dungeons and torture chambers; strange vaulted niches lined with thigh bones or arms or skulls; or calefactories, the only heated rooms in medieval monasteries, where an empty coffin stood in the center to remind those warming their bodies that the earth was cold - all the Gothic paraphernalia of sick imagination. Chaucer's monk has bequeathed a portrait that no self-respecting monk could possibly identify with: a fat, greasy sort of person who felt more at home outside the monastery astride his berry-brown palfrey chasing down rabbits behind his greyhounds; dressed in fur-trimmed cassock with a gold-embossed pin to hold his hood together; possibly lecherous, certainly a gourmet. And too many people know only the Machiavellian monks of Robert Browning, sniveling simpletons or rapacious hypocrites. As if monks proper did not have a bad enough image, they acquired by loose use of the term the faults of bumbling friars who tangled the lives of Romeos and Juliets, and the crimes of the inquisitorial torture chambers.
When the twentieth-century monk, therefore, introduces himself as a monk of the Order of St. Benedict, he can see in the mind of the stranger the procession of images that the men of letters have so distorted. If he feels that he has thereby been put on the defensive, he might launch into the genealogy of the word and discourse on the transition from the solitary hermits of the desert to the group living under St. Benedict in the fifth century after Christ. If the stranger has not yet walked away, he then feels it necessary to describe the historical origin of his cassock, scapular, belt, and hood. Artists and photographers like to picture long lines of black-garbed, hooded men carrying lighted candles down long, dismal corridors. Romantic historians like Carlyle and Newman offset somewhat the monks of Chaucer and Browning, but there are precious few monks who turn the sod and till the fields, changing the rough countryside into prosperous farms.
None of these images of the modern-day monk is quite accurate, and the self-conscious monk squirms under his identity doubt. Is he in the world or out of it? He takes a vow of poverty and lives in quite ample security. He takes a vow of conversatio morum, a Latin term that no one has yet satisfactorily translated or explained. He argues at length - and fruitlessly - about the meaning of the {p. 5} vow of stability, an innovation created by the founder of the Order. Is he in essence contemplative or active? He wears a long robe over his masculinity and wonders whether the title "Mother" would not be better than "Father." His vow of obedience dissolves none of his problems.
When Abbot Martin Schlerbach governed his monks in the second quarter of the twentieth century, he was fortunate that the public relations man had not yet discovered the word image. He was even more fortunate that the common man had not yet discovered the identity crisis. Even had it been discovered, Abbot Martin certainly would have suffered no crisis, for he knew who he was. Long before he ascended the throne which became his upon installation, he knew that monks were lineal descendants of St. Benedict, who had written a Rule for simple people who wanted to live a simple life together in a joint effort to seek God. Their home was the monastery. To this place they attached themselves for the term of their lives; to it they returned like homing pigeons whenever any business that had taken them away was completed. This attachment he understood by his vow of stability. He further vowed a conversatio morum, which he understood to mean his day-by-day effort to move closer to God through the instruments of good works which the Holy Rule detailed. Most important was obedience, for central to the Rule was the injunction that "the monk return to God by the labor of obedience from whom he had departed through the sloth of disobedience." And when a newcomer arrived to join the monastery, he was given time to exercise himself in these virtues under the guidance of the Abbot, who interpreted for him the will. of God. Abbot Martin had no doubts that the title "Father," given by St. Benedict to the Abbot, meant what his German heritage had taught him about fathers.
Father Martin had accepted his election as Abbot after he had lived his vows almost twenty-five years under the same Abbot. From his predecessor he had learned both by example and by inference what kind of man the Abbot of the monastery ought to be. He fell to intensive study of the two chapters in the Rule which discuss the role of the Abbot, and then set out to do what St. Benedict exhorted him to do.
That a monastery is no easy place to govern he had also known in a remote way, but the theory now became living knowledge. To discern the nature of each individual, the care of whose soul {6} had been committed to him, became an on-going pursuit. Which were the intelligent who could learn from his words? Which were the "harder hearts and ruder minds" that needed the power of his example? The Rule reminded him that St. Benedict had to deal with the same kind of men in the fifth century as he had to deal with in the twentieth century. Each one needed individual consideration. On this point St. Benedict was quite specific: "threatening at one time and coaxing at another as the occasion may require, showing now the stern countenance of a master, now the loving affection of a father. That is to say, it is the undisciplined and restless whom he must reprove rather sharply; it is the obedient, meek, and patient whom he must entreat to advance in virtue; while as for the negligent and disdainful, these we charge him to rebuke and correct."
St. Benedict had learned many centuries before that no monk abandons his will when he vows obedience. No monastery of men becomes a robot factory, turning out copy after copy of potential saints. When a mother who was about to give her son reluctantly to the monastery witnessed the choir of monks rising and bowing together one Sunday at Vespers, she shed wasted tears over the fate of her son - she could not see that though the heads were bowing in unison, the hearts were not. Men may learn to walk in line and they may be taught to rise and bow together in choir, but an Abbot can never produce the machine-like finish on his monks that an orchestra director can achieve on a group of musicians.
These were not saints over whom Abbot Martin was given governance; they were only students in the school of the Lord's service. When the monks had come before his throne one by one to renew their vow of obedience at the ceremony of his installation, he saw the file of humanity before him - all of them united in varying degrees of one pursuit: to seek God under the yoke of holy obedience. He knew by this time that each works out his own brand of pursuit with the passing years. Some few stand out above the rest as age releases talents and idiosyncrasies. But the majority prefer to fall into quiet anonymity, content to work and pray without distinctiveness in quiet obedience. They work their work and pray their prayers with little fanfare.
The Abbot was to learn rather quickly which ones would come before him in fear and trembling, which ones he could stare down, which ones would talk back. Theoretically, he knew that the monks {7} shape an Abbot: he is rounded off by the grinding and tumbling of their contact, so that given enough years, he is polished into mellow humanity. They, as much as chapter two of the Holy Rule, determine over the passage of years "what kind of man the Abbot ought to be."
Abbot Martin, therefore, had as little identity crisis as Abbot as he had had as a simple monk. The Holy Rule denned his role; sixty years of monasticism transplanted from Germany shaped the work the monks were doing and molded the traditions of his Midwestern abbey.
When he prepared himself for his solemn installation, he submitted easily to the medieval tradition that the Lord Abbot (he never had liked the title) had to have a coat of arms and a motto. His choice of motto foretold the thrust of his reign: Si adhuc populo tuo sum necessarius, non recuso laborem, which translates roughly into "Lord, if I continue to be necessary for your people, I will not refuse the task." He chose to tilt the Benedictine motto of "Work and pray" somewhat toward the "Work." Secretly it was an admission that he was not really a man of deep prayer. Despite his degree in philosophy and despite his formal training in the mystical life and his reading of St. John of the Cross and St. Teresa of Avila, he found himself still struggling to rise above the purgative way of life when he was elected Abbot. Secretly, too, he was envious of those saints who had in their lives attained what St. Benedict held out to his monks in the preface to his Rule: "for as we advance in the religious life and in faith, our hearts expand and we run the way of God's commandments with unspeakable sweetness of love." Like the rest of his monks, he accepted his humanity, strode weekly to his confessor for an admission of his human frailties, and hoped someday to be able to run with "unspeakable sweetness."
Physically, he might have been better endowed to be Abbot of this, the largest monastery in the country. He came from a line of short-statured men, so that invariably he found himself talk- ing up to the people he met. With some strain he could touch the floor with the tip of his toes when he sat. Over years of practice as student disciplinarian, rector of the university, and prior of the monastery, he had learned what strength lay in a stern countenance and a cold eye, and how physical size could cower before them.
Native virtue brought a different strength: reared in a large German family, he moved easily into the kind of obedience St. Benedict asked of his monks. Also, from the poverty of his parents, {8}immigrants to Minnesota, he learned that soup was nourishing and temporarily filling; that meat was for the working men in the family; that bread was the staple of the children's diet. Not to his dying day could he put to rest the unease which arose from a sumptuous meal in a restaurant, with cocktails and liqueurs, even when he didn't have to pay the check. He did allow himself the pleasures of tobacco - Union Leader for his pipe, and vicious black Italian rat-tails, sold under the name of cigars, when he wanted something stronger than the pipe. Stability was not difficult in an age when trains and trolleys furnished the only public transportation. When he enrolled in the monastery prep school at the age of fourteen, he transferred his allegiance from his natural family to the other, never relinquishing fully his affection for the family he left behind. When necessary travels brought him to the locale of his family, he usually found a relative with a primitive automobile willing to transport him on the round of visits to brothers and uncles. Such were the natural endowments his family had given him as his dowry when he entered the monastery.
He knew who he was - a simple man who could not trace his lineage back more than one generation, who through the grace of the Holy Spirit and some monastery politicking had been elected Abbot of the largest monastery in the States. He knew what his strengths were, and over the course of years of dealing with all brands of monks, he learned his weaknesses. When the Bishop of the diocese formally invested him with the symbols of his office, he did not bow his head like Queen Victoria and say, "I will be good," but stole a character from David Copperfield and said, "Martin is willing."
For twenty-two years Abbot Martin proved not only that he was willing but that he was able. He watched his monastery grow steadily in its number of monks, and he saw the assets of the monastic plant increase. He took pride in the knowledge that other monasteries of the country looked upon his house as a model of monastic life and that other houses sent him their young monks for formation and education. By 1946, age and weariness and post- war expansiveness connived to threaten the hold he kept on his monastery. The college was experiencing growing pains and moving restlessly in his grip. Somehow he managed each morning to set aside the weariness of the previous day and steel himself with the motto of his regime: "I will not refuse the task."

- "Found anything? He's got half of Mexico in here! Must be two tons of Mary here!"
- — Police Officer.
555 We Tip is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, given to protagonist Carl Johnson by Officer Frank Tenpenny from Carl's garage in the Doherty district of San Fierro, San Andreas.
Tenpenny phones Carl, checking on him and how he's doing in San Fierro. Carl replies negatively. Later on, Tenpenny gives him a task to trouble a person who has been a nuisance to Tenpenny and Pulaski. Carl initially refuses, but once Tenpenny informs him that the person is a district attorney, he gladly does the task.
He goes to the Vank Hoff Hotel in the Financial district. Once there, he follows a valet to an underground parking lot. Once there, he kills the valet in order to get his uniform, which is used as a disguise. Carl goes outside and waits for the D.A., who is arriving on a blue Merit. Once the D.A. has arrived in the valet space, Carl hops in the Merit and quickly drives to his garage, where he plants drugs in the trunk of the Merit. He quickly returns to the underground parking lot without sustaining any damage whatsoever, and goes to the valet space. Once there, Carl calls We Tip, saying that something highly suspicious is going on. Some SFPD policemen arrive shortly after, and search the DA and his car. They find the drugs in the car's trunk and arrest the district attorney.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- The D.A. is on his way to the Vank Hoff Hotel in downtown San Fierro. Get over there now
- Follow the valet to the underground car park and waste him. Make sure no one is around
- The valet is in the car park. Take him out while he's down there
- Pick up the valet's uniform
- Get to the valet car port and wait with the other valet's
- Identify and enter the D.A.'s car when it arrives
- You're in the D.A.'s car. Get over to the Garage where the drugs will be planted
- The drugs are planted. Take the car to the valet's car park
- Park the car in the marked parking space
- A valet is coming to return the D.A.'s car. Get outside the valet car park and call the cops
There is no monetary reward for this mission, but the mission Deconstruction is unlocked. The Valet asset missions are also unlocked, and the Valet outfit sent to the wardrobe.
- A reference to the mission (specifically, a number for We Tip) can be seen in the mobile game Gangstar: Crime City, which is known for being a thinly-veiled GTA Clone.
- If the player crashes into the street light near the garage before calling We Tip, Carl can be seen leaning on air in the cutscene.
- The DA's car is not always the third car to arrive at the garage. On rare occasions, after the first car arrives, it will take a long time for another car to arrive, and as the DA's Merit nears the garage, the other valet will say "Hey, that's the DA. He's a great tipper." The other valet will try to enter first in the car but you need to get the car first.
- The mission will fail if the player enters the garage to kill the valet with a wanted level.
- The mission will also fail if you earn a wanted level while driving the DA's car.
- This mission is similar to the The Lost and Damned mission Knowing Me, Knowing You.
- In the Strategy Guide, it shows the dead valet's buttocks, suggesting that Carl took off the valet's underwear.
- If you damage the DA's car, you can not fix it using the health cheat.
- The pedestrian model seen after the valet is killed, can be encountered during vigilante missions (the naked one).
- If the "pedestrians attack each other" cheat is used before this mission, the D.A. and cops will try to kill each during the arrest cutscene, and the game will eventually freeze at a point in the scene, making it impossible to complete the mission.

Famed Spago chef Wolfgang Puck is the latest judge on the "Top Chef: Seattle." Puck says he's excited to be a part of the 10th season of the Emmy and James Beard Award-winning series. "The show is a lot of fun for me and I enjoy watching what the chefs come up with each week," says the 63-year-old author and TV personality. "When I was starting out, I knew I found cooking to be interesting. But I never imagined that people would enjoy watching chefs on television competing in the kitchen. It's wonderful."
Q. What was the first trip you took as a child?
A. I grew up so poor in Austria that we never took a vacation with my family. There is an organization called Save the Children — which is very famous for helping underprivileged kids. When I was 11, they sent a group of us kids to England for three months. I think there were about 20 children total. We took the trip to Belgium and went on the ferry to Dover, England, and then to London and Essex. I still remember being on the veranda outside on the ship in the evening. It was amazing. It was the first time that I had really experienced different things and types of food — even the simplest things.
Q. Where did you have your best meal?
A. It was such a great experience and so long ago — about 35 years ago. It was in France. I had a girlfriend then but she wasn't into food, so I went by myself!
Q. How do other chefs treat you when you dine at their restaurants?
A. They treat me fine. When I was young, I was a critic basically. But now I don't think other chefs get nervous around me. I go to be with friends and family. For me, I don't expect to have a really amazing meal each time I dine out. Having a good meal with your loved ones — that's what makes the experience. The only thing I don't like is to sit at the table for 3-1/2 hours for a meal. I get too impatient. And then I drink too much! When you hear people talk about how they ate so much they couldn't move afterward, that's a bad thing. I always tell people they should just eat enough so when they go home they can make love, and not fall sleep.
Q. On vacations, are you a lay in the sun and relax type of guy?
A. No! My wife always asks, "Why don't you just rest and do nothing?" I'm so used to doing something all the time that I just can't do that. That's not enjoyable for me. I'm always doing something and that suits me better.
Q. What is your favorite destination?
A. I must say Italy is still a favorite. We got married in Capri five years ago. I like to go around and take the boat and go to lunch.
Q. Do you tend to stay away from hotel restaurants?
A. In general, yes. There are very few times I actually like to eat at a hotel. One that was great was Alain Ducasse's restaurant at the Hotel de Paris Monte-Carlo. And when I was in Hong Kong, some of the restaurants I wanted to try were closed, so I couldn't get out to eat dinner. I was staying at the Regent, which is now the Intercontinental, and the manager said, "Why not eat at our hotel?" I did. It was so good I ended up eating three more times there.
Q. What are your favorite cities?
A. I really love Paris. It's my favorite city. I used to live there. I actually like Vienna now. I didn't like it before and thought it was so boring. But now I find it fascinating and enjoy the great art and opera and so on. We always love to go to Tokyo, which I think is a very interesting city.
Q. What have you learned about dining habits in other countries?
A. In the United States, we always try to Americanize everything. That's not always a bad thing, but it's nice to see how food is served in the country of origin. In the U.S., we eat sushi as a meal. In Japan, it's served at the end of the meal. I can't say enough about the fish in Japan. It's really amazing and the Japanese are very respectful of the product. One of my favorite things to do in Tokyo is to go to the fish market, which is in this little alleyway. It doesn't smell fishy at all. Japanese people tend to be very polite, but not at the fish market. If you just stand there, you'll get pushed over. I love to go at 5 a.m., walk through and buy some stuff. They filleted a live mackerel I picked out. Its mouth was still moving. Then for breakfast I had some sushi and noodle soup.
Q. Which country has an undeserved reputation for having bad cuisine?
A. London has really great food now, but people still joke about bad English food. It's true that a long time ago, you had to eat in an old-style French restaurant to get a decent meal. But over the last 10 years, they've had a renaissance. It's really fun to go and eat there.
Q. Are you an adventurous eater overseas?
A. Yes! Wherever I go, I eat anything. In Marrakesh, the hotel people told us not to eat anything at the food stalls in the main square. I ate at I think 10 of the stalls and didn't get sick. In Mexico City, they said don't eat anything raw and don't drink the water. I tasted the raw tomatoes and ate the salads. I didn't get sick. It's not for everyone, but I have no problem with it. There's a lot of processed food in America and I know that can make some tourists who're used to fresh food feel sick.
Q. Where would you like to go that you have never been to before?
A. India.
Q. Are you a prima donna about anything when you're traveling?
A. (Laughs.) Well ... I was in Maui for the first time in the 1970s. I woke up in the morning and asked for a cappuccino or an espresso. They said, "Sorry, we don't have any." I walked down the beach where all the hotels are lined up and walked into the Hyatt Regency. They had cappuccinos and espressos. I switched hotels right there. I can't stay in a hotel where I can't get a good coffee.

The Maine Senate has approved without debate an emergency measure to temporarily keep confidential the names of Maine residents with permits to carry concealed guns.
AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) _ The measure was sent to the House for a vote. It was submitted by Republican Gov. Paul LePage and sponsored by Democratic Senate Assistant Majority Leader Troy Jackson of Allagash and Democratic House Assistant Majority Leader Jeff McCabe of Skowhegan.
The bill comes up after a Bangor newspaper issued a request for the names last week. The Bangor Daily News later dropped its request.
The emergency measure would only last until April 30, allowing lawmakers more time to consider the matter.
The Senate passed a clarifying amendment before sending the bill to the House Tuesday. The bill requires two-thirds support in both chambers to pass.

How do I build a circuit with a mom. neg input using standerd relays that puts out a latched neg output
Let's begin with -12 volts on the NEG PWR IN line and zero volts on the NEG TRIGGER line. The relay 12 volt coil K1 is unenergized and the relay contact K1A is open.
Apply -12 volts to the NEG TRIGGER LINE just long enough to pull in the relay contact. Coil current flows from the NEG TRIGGER LINE through D1 and energizes K1. The relay contact closes, applying -12 volts to D2 and supplying approximately -11 volts to K1. The relay is latched in the ON state.
Thanks. Was not sure what K1 was.
If you'd like a circuit with specific components listed I can provide that. Just provide parameters: voltage, current, trigger voltage, and if it needs to have an "unlatch" switch.

Music soothes the soul. Life without music is a sad thought. Learning an instrument can help you in many aspects of life. There is countless research on the benefits of learning to play an instrument. There are educational benefits and physical benefits to picking up an instrument to learn how to play piano chords.
Piano is the hardest instrument to learn to play but the most rewarding. When making the decision to take piano the first thing you need to understand is that you will need a piano or keyboard to practice on. It is better to have a piano but a keyboard will work just fine for a time. When purchasing a keyboard the things you need to look for are weighted keys, as close to 88 keys as possible and if possible a pedal.
Piano lessons for beginners are usually 30 minutes in length. You could start with one hour but in truth there is not much to teach a beginning student in an hour. Beginning students do not have enough skills under their belts to comfortably fill an hour. Your first lesson will consist of the basics. This will be when you learn about the different types of notes, their duration, the name of the clefs, a few other symbols, the musical alphabet and where the notes land on the grand staff.
In the beginning, depending on the piano lessons teacher, you will learn hand drills, musical theory and how to read music. The first few months will be spent warming your hands up. Hand drills are meant to help build the muscles in your fingers for playing. Reading music will be something you work on all the time. Reading music is one of the most important things you will learn. If you can read your music, and read it quickly, you can play anything set in front of you. Take music reading seriously. This one skill can make or break your journey as a pianist.
When learning to read music and when you learn piano online, you have to connect two things together: what your eyes see and what your fingers feel. The art of playing the piano is understanding what the music symbols stand for, and translating that into what key on the piano represents those symbols. Hand-eye coordination is key here. This is what you will be building in your quest to become the next Mozart.
Once your hands get warm, and strong enough to tackle simple combinations of notes together, you will start to learn piano chords. When playing piano chords, you will be playing three to four notes at the same time on one hand. In the beginning, you will play three notes at once. As your hands get stronger, you will play chords that consist of four notes at one time. Piano chords represent the harmony of music.
Learning to play the piano is a worth while experience, and you'll need to find these beginner piano tutorial lessons at youtube to learn as fast as possible at this piano lessons channel. It is not an easy instrument to learn and you will definitely have to put in a lot of work to master the instrument. However, once you master the art of the piano, playing any other instrument will be a breeze. The piano is an instrument that is made up of wood, nylon strings and ivory keys. What comes out of it is this beautiful music that can fill a person soul and change a persons future.

A Virginia Beach pizza shop owner is showing his support for firearm rights by giving gun owners a 15 percent discount.
The discount is given to anyone who brings a gun or concealed handgun permit to All Around Pizzas and Deli.
Owner Jay Laze tells news media outlets that he'd planned on offering the discount for a limited time. But he says the response has been overwhelming and he might make it permanent.
Since the discount began last Friday, Laze says 80 percent of his customers have brought guns into the pizza shop. He says one customer came in with an AK-47.
Laze is a gun owner and says he's always been a supporter of the right to carry firearms.

EC Number: 188.8.131.52
Enzymes and Genes:
ribonuclease E: rne

The direction shown, i.e. which substrates are on the left and right sides, is in accordance with the direction in which it was curated.
Mass balance status: Marked as unbalanced.
Enzyme Commission Primary Name: ribonuclease E
Enzyme Commission Synonyms: endoribonuclease E, RNase E, Rne protein
Enzyme Commission Summary:
RNase E is a bacterial ribonuclease that plays a role in the processing of ribosomal RNA (9S to 5S rRNA), the chemical degradation of bulk cellular RNA, the decay of specific regulatory, messenger and structural RNAs and the control of plasmid DNA replication [Feng02]. The enzyme binds to monophosphorylated 5' ends of substrates but exhibits sequential cleavages in the 3' to 5' direction [Feng02] . 2'-O-Methyl nucleotide substitutions at RNase E binding sites do not prevent binding but do prevent cleavage of non-modified target sequences 5' to that locus [Feng02]. In Escherichia coli, the enzyme is found in the RNA degradosome. The C-terminal half of the protein contains binding sites for the three other major degradosomal components, the DEAD-box RNA helicase Rh1B, EC 220.127.116.11. and EC 188.8.131.52.

New with Kissing Gourami
Hello All :)
I'm new to the forum-
I have a 39 gallon tank, and until now I've only cared for Angel fish and other cichlids, some mollies and some golden algae fish. About 6 months back, something awful got into the tank and killed everything, save the 3 red mollies.
With all this time passed and the water looking perfect for the last about 4 months, we now have 2 Pink Kissing Gouramis and 2 new golden algae eaters. The Gouramis are about 3-4 inches each, the goldens and mollies are all about or less than an inch in size.
Anyways, since we've had these gouramis for almost a week now, the bigger one chases the smaller one around ALL.THE.TIME. I've read about them "kissing" to establish dominance (amazing, right??) but the little one doesn't "kiss" back. The large one "kisses" it in the sides and fins, though rarely actually making contact. It seems to chase the other fish into the one same corner of the aquarium and keep it there. I'm worried the smaller one is being hurt or us unable to get any food, as these "kissing attacks" seem to happen after feeding. As far as I can tell they are both eating flakes, lettuce and "grazing" for algae.
This said, I have not seen the bigger one cause any visible damage, and the little guy seems to be fine (but stuck in one corner)
They were both in the same tank with 6-7 medium sized oscars when I got them, I don't know for how long though.
What I am worried about that is this bullying will eventually kill the smaller gourami. :(
As for the other fish, I honestly don't think the gourami's have even noticed them. They're all hiding in our various plants and are eating fine.
Am I going to end up with only one "kissing bully" goruami??
Thank you :)
How big was the tank they came out of, I'm thinking pretty large to house 6-7 medium sized oscars? They are probably establishing dominance in their new home. It is generally advised with the majority of gourami species to have only one gourami per tank due to conspecific aggression, but I don't know if this is true for the kissing gourami. Here is some information about your fish.
http://animal-world.com/encyclo/fres...issinggour.phpIf it's called tourist season why can't I shoot them?
Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes that reason is you are stupid and make bad decisions.
I think my fish is adjusting well to the four gallon, He's laying on his side attempting to go to sleep on the bottom of the gravel.
A moderator on a fish forum should be able to identify an oscar... Don't you think?
I would not recommend two kissing gouramis in a 40 gallon. Firstly because gouramis are territorial and unless the tank is large and well planted, they will fight and the weaker one will most likely
succumb to the constant harassment eventually. Besides that, kissing gouramis have the potential to grow to the size of a badminton racket head and as adults, will most definitely not fit in forty gallons. There are plenty of pretty gouramis that will however. A single pearl gourami or dwarf gourami along with other community fish will work well.

Thanks, good info.. The tank we saw them in was about 50g-60g, it was pretty crowded, there were also some small cichlids in there...The gouramis seemed timid, keeping away from the larger fish.
We only wanted one at first, because they are fairly large fish, but they seemed to be staying beside each other and getting along in the tank so we took both. I expect the larger (perhaps male? I haven't a clue on that) will take dominance in the tank, I'm just worried the smaller fish will be killed in the process.
Since I first posted, I turned the lights to a darker setting and they seem to have calmed down quite a bit actually.
They're gorgeous fish with quite the personality so I hope they can find some peace.
Here they are- I wish the picture was better, they really are very pink. The big bully is in the front. When it's not chasing the other around they hang out close like this. Maybe they're a couple?

40g for two of these is awfully small...
Is there anything in there to break up sightlines? Or is this a bare tank?My 33 gallon/125 liter tank. My photography on flickr.

I have about 5 tall leafy plants, and 2 smaller ones, it could use a couple more though.
The kiss chasing continues, but since I've kept the tank darker, it only seems to happen after they eat. No visible injuries or anything... they mostly hang out side by side too.
I realize the tank might not be as big as it could be, and if they grow I might have to find new homes for them.
So far they seem to not be hurting each other, I just don't know if it will turn deadly.
Is there a way to determine the sex of these guys? I've read it's pretty hard to tell but if anyone knows from that picture I'd like to know

I know they are cute and interesting, but You would really be way better off getting a single specimen of a smaller gourami species.

I wanted to add to this forum after having these very happy fish for a while now...
I probably won't come back, because I don't want to be belittled instead of helped again... :/ makes me sad :(
Just wanted to say, I added one very large leafy plant directly in the middle of the aquarium, and each Gourami has his/her own side and they are very happy and healthy. They've not grown in length at all, and they are much pinker and more active then when we first got them. They definitely have claimed their own sides of the tank, but sometimes will hangout side by side in the leaves. The Mollies and golden algae eaters do their own thing, honestly they act like they don't even see the Gouramis, who are easily 3x their size.
I'm really glad I kept these fish, they've been the best and easiest fish I've ever cared for. Gorgeous and active, and great with my smaller fish. They chase each other around still, neither has ever been injured in these chasing sessions; They aren't quite as intense as they were at first. I feed them their flakes, boiled lettuce, and the occasional blood worms or tiny shrimps.
Regardless of your opinions, I'm happy I decided to keep these fish and not bring them back to the crowded tank where the "professionals" were keeping them. I may not know everything, but I can tell when an animal is striving in a happy home, and I'm very content with my Gourami buddies.
I hope others won't be deterred from caring for these fish, they're really great and are perfect for the size of my tank. (39g, details above)

More than one million people living in the Denver metro area have been warned about possible lead contamination in their tap water.
High levels of lead were discovered in a routine check of the water system.
Denver Water said the problem could exist in every older neighborhood in the Denver metro area and that it is especially true for any home that was built in the 1950s.
The problem is traced to older lead-based piping that exists in those older homes.
"We know Denver's water is clean and safe and that's what is going out to homes, but the lead plumbing inside can affect the quality coming out of the tap," said Denver Water spokeswoman Stacy Chesney.
Lead concentration was detected in eight out of 60 homes, with one home testing four times higher than federal standards allow.
Lead poisoning can lead to many health problems, including brain damage and kidney failure.
Denver Water is advising homeowners to take extra precautions including:
•Let faucets run for several seconds to flush out lead.
•Only draw cold water for drinking, cooking and preparing baby formula.
•Use a filtration system.
The Colorado Department of Health and Environment said reports of health problems due to lead have been on the rise for years.
Concerns over problems with lead content in the water should be taken as seriously as problems associated with lead paint.

Currently the Development team is working difficult on a new website, and a new API, along the search function on the new File Editor.
From the Design team, EX12 is in the final testing and tweaking stages, and should be ready to go by then end of the week.
GGG and the Art team are tearing into card, resizing the original art (a long and miserable task). Yeah... while it doesn't sound exciting, it will look awesome.

Here's a variant of my deck. It's the one i played the most and highest record out of them so i think it's best to post this one.
Tell me what you think about the deck.
http://s11.postimage.org/5pp3xjun5/4046 ... 8933_n.jpg
Basically get loads of SP and try to crush the opponent with whatever mids you feel like spamming.
Before you even ask: No! I don't have resource SS i would really like too. Q_Q That SS would have won me few more games for sure. :/
How you play the file is up to you. At first i tried to play an early stall of mids until late game when i got phoenix chick out, played that super shield on it with all the SP and if things got really bad i dropped animated dead.
Ofcourse the shield can be terrible annoying early on too for the opponent. I just lack better cards to use, i lack LOTS of rares, so maybe you can do a much better file out of this.
Feel free to ask questions about every unit or card in the deck. ^^
I call it the Mid Level Swarm of Doom and Destruction! @_@ (ya i need to change deck name)

Your child can become this classic Medieval hero when he wears the Robin Hood Boy's Costume. It features a hoodie with vest, a belt with pouch, gauntlets, and boot covers. The green shirt has a lace-up V-neck, long sleeves, and a hood. The brown faux suede vest is attached and has three leather like straps with buckles across the chest. The belt is also leather like and has a pouch attached to it that can be used to hold small items like keys, a wallet, or a cell phone. There are a pair of fingerless gauntlets that match the vest. The black boot covers fit over your child's shoes and make it look like he's wearing tall boots with turned down cuffs. The pants, shoes, and archery set are not included. Pick up a bow and arrow set, sword, and other accessories separately. Your child will look like he's from Sherwood Forest when he wears the Robin Hood Boy's Costume.
