R.I.P. : Eighteenth and Eighth
When I lived in NYC back in the 90's I remember the small café at the corner of Eighteenth Street and Eighth Avenue (named, aptly, Eighteenth and Eighth) as Chelsea's "ground zero" (before that term went tragically out of style). It was one of my favorite spots for meeting friends, first dates, and just having a quiet cup of coffee.
Time marches on, however, and here's how that Chelsea corner looks now. They're in the process of clearing the way for a new pillar of six-story condos.
It's always interesting (and a bit jarring) to see a chunk of Manhattan simply vanish from one day to the next.
I loved that place, too. Walked over there to go to brunch one Saturday and it was closed - none of the nearby places 8th ave. could match it.

Six-story condos. What's that, a sixplex?

It's sometimes unfortunate that time marches on.
Lucky are those who remember their memories.

Yes, I hate it when re-development takes away such landmarks....it's a shame...

I remember 18th and 8th. What a fun little coffee shop with the crusiest waiters. :)

I lived a few doors down from 18th&8th in my bachelor days. It seems as though Chelsea and the city are changing before my very eyes. Feeling old these days but all things must change. However they better keep their F**KING hand off Food Bar.

Ahhhh! I will miss that place, it WAS a great place to meet or just hang out.
Posted by: LostMonkey | Aug 8, 2005 3:50:11 PM
Isn't that the corner that they're trying to build a McDonald's on? I've seen fliers posted on Eighth Avenue for an organized protest to their coming into the neighborhood. That would be the harshest replacement for Eighteenth & Eighth.

Valley National BANK? Barf. 18th & 8th was great. Re Chelsea: as usual, gay pepople move into a neglected neighborhood, make it fabulous, and are then shoved aside by rich white straight people. Eew.
Posted by: Joe | Aug 8, 2005 9:41:28 PM
I loved 18th&8th for several reasons: 1. I worked there as one of the "cruisiest" waiters for two stints, 2. It was my first job in NYC, 3. I fell in love with a co-worker both times, and 4. some VERY amazing people both worked and ate there!
Anyone from 2001 or early 2004, drop me a line
Posted by: mark | Aug 8, 2005 11:41:53 PM
YIKES! It breaks my heart to see that place go. I lived above 18th and 8th for many years. What a great apartment. I'll always remember the Toy Parties at Christmas. Does anyone know how to reach Ed?

VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- The more players the Vancouver Canucks lose to injury, the better star goalie Roberto Luongo seems to get.
Luongo made 27 saves for his first shutout of the season to lead the injury-riddled Canucks to a 2-0 victory against the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday night. One night earlier, he stopped 35 shots in a victory against Toronto.
"Sometimes you need to be challenged a little bit to step up as a team and I think we've done that," said Luongo, who took over the franchise lead with his 21st shutout in a little more than three seasons in Vancouver. "It seems like we're losing a player every game right now, but guys are coming in, doing a great job and buying into the system and that's why we're winning games."
One of the guys stepping up is Michael Grabner, who opened the scoring with a power-play deflection late in the first period, giving the rookie two goals and five points in his first six NHL games. Henrik Sedin also scored on a tip as the Canucks won three straight games for the first time this season.
Luongo did the rest, continuing to show he is over his annual early season slump. Despite coming into the game with an uncharacteristically low .894 save-percentage, Luongo has now allowed only six goals in his past five games. His recent run coincides with a run of injuries that has seen Vancouver lose six players, including top scorer Daniel Sedin and top defenseman Sami Salo.
Luongo credits a renewed commitment to team defense since the injuries.
"We're really starting to play well systems-wise and defensively," Luongo said. "It makes my job a lot easier and I am able to focus on the shooter more and just challenge him and not worry about any of the backdoor stuff."
Both teams were playing for a second successive night and missing six regulars to injury and illness, leading to a sloppy game with little flow.
Nikolai Khabibulin, who was brilliant in a 2-1 victory against the Canucks six days earlier, got a rare game off after stopping 33 shots in a 5-2 loss in Calgary the night before. Jeff Deslauriers made 27 saves in only his second start as the Oilers lost consecutive games for the first time this season.
"The past two days haven't been pretty," Oilers coach Pat Quinn said. "I don't like the result for sure. It was kind of a sleeper game ... we didn't play good enough to get a good result."
Luongo, who has started all 11 games for the Canucks, had to be sharp early as the Oilers got a lengthy 5-on-3 power play less than 8 minutes into the game. He got a glove on Patrick O'Sullivan's early blast from the high slot, stopped Shawn Horcoff on the rebound, and later slid across to take an empty net away from Dustin Penner on a nice cross-crease pass from Ales Hemsky.
"We didn't take it into the scoring areas," Quinn said. "We played on the outside tonight and when you play on the outside of this game you get these kind of results."
Grabner, who had two assists in Saturday's win, opened the scoring with 2:09 left in the first period, parking himself atop the crease and neatly redirecting Christian Ehrhoff's one-timer from the point through Deslaurier's legs.
Grabner, the 14th pick in the 2006 NHL Draft, has been a revelation since being recalled from the minors after Daniel Sedin broke his foot.
"There's not as much pressure and it's easier to play now and just try to show them what I can do," Grabner said.
Henrik Sedin hadn't scored since his twin brother was hurt on Oct. 7, but doubled the lead midway through the second period, knocking Mikael Samuelsson's harmless-looking point shot past a surprised Deslauriers for his first point in four games.
Luongo's 48th career shutout moved into a tie with San Jose's Evgeni Nabokov for third place on the active list, one behind Detroit's Chris Osgood, but 54 back of New Jersey's Martin Brodeur. It also moved him past Kirk McLean for the franchise lead.
"Our goaltender has been our best player the last two games so we re feeding off him a little bit," Canucks coach Alain Vigneault said.
The Oilers came in with 38 goals in their first 10 games, 17 more than the same period last season. ... Russian rookie Sergei Shirokov was called up from the AHL and played on Vancouver's first line with Henrik Sedin and Samuelsson, with Alex Burrows dropped to the third line. ... Veteran D Mathieu Schneider, 40, made his Canucks debut after starting the season on the injured list following summer shoulder surgery. ... Oilers C Gilbert Brule returned after missing three games with flu, but C Mike Comrie isn't even traveling as he tries to recover from the bug, which has made its way through the team.

The Orlando Magic lost their third consecutive game to the New Orleans Hornets 97-94 Wednesday night at the Amway Center. The Magic struggled defensively throughout the night and allowed the Hornets to shot over 50 percent.
Hornets' center Robin Lopez had an impressive performance early on by putting up 19 points at the half. Lopez ended up going 9-for-10 and 11-for-12 from the free throw line and contributing 29 points.
On the other side of the court, Jameer Nelson lead the team with 10 assists and had a season high of 28 points. After the game Nelson said, "I take what the defense gives me. It doesn't matter how many points I score, I'm trying to win."

|Chipwich, Dreyer's division of Nestlé
|United States
|Previous owners
|Richard LaMotta [1] , Sam Metzger
A Chipwich is an ice cream sandwich made of ice cream between two chocolate chip cookies.[1]
The original, created by Richard LaMotta and Sam Metzger (1942–2010) in New York City, was made up of vanilla ice cream sandwiched by two chocolate chip cookies with the sides rolled in chocolate chips which stick to the ice cream.[2]
While ice cream sandwiches have been sold in New York City since the 1890s,[3] Richard LaMotta created Chipwich in 1978. A guerrilla marketing campaign, in which he trained and enlisted sixty street cart vendors (mostly students), to sell them on the streets, of New York City, for a dollar each, established Chipwich, as a successful brand. [2]
As an independent, the company struggled to find capital to expand. In 1984, burdened with heavy debt, Chipwich sought Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.[4] By 1987, co-founders Metzger and LaMotta had reorganised the company and obtained a $1 million investment from Swedish holding company Hexagon AB, which guaranteed loans and licensed its products.[5] In 1992, the company was back in Chapter 11 bankruptcy after incurring a $1.4 million loss on sales of $4.8 million; an accounting scandal involving inventory overstatements at Peltz Food, a subsidiary headed by Mr. Robert Peltz, were at the root of much of the problem.[4]
CoolBrands International bought Chipwich in 2002, becoming North America's third-largest ice cream vendor. Due to a series of financial difficulties which began with the loss of its Weight Watchers/Smart Ones frozen food licence in 2004,[6] CoolBrands sold Chipwich, Eskimo Pie and Real Fruit to the Dreyer's division of Nestlé in 2007[7] as part of a larger divestiture of core assets which left the company as little more than a publicly listed empty shell.
By 2009, Nestlé had stopped production of the original Chipwich,[when?] possibly because it competed with its own Toll House chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwich.[citation needed]
The US trademark was abandoned and then obtained by "Retrobrands USA LLC"[8] with a long pattern of trademarking once-famous but abandoned names (like Ken-L Ration pet food, Hai Karate aftershave, Tegrin dandruff shampoo, Puss N Boots cat food, Tender Vittles cat food and Sani-Flush toilet cleaner) has claimed the mark.[9] As of July 2014[update] "Chipwich Gelato" pint-size container of kosher Italian ice cream manufactured by Gelato Petrini is now available in NYC.[10] In addition, it is sold through Marina Ice Cream which has also re-launched the Original 5 oz CHIPWICH novelty brand both in Vanilla and Chocolate. It is currently sold in NYC with plans for all USA and Canada distribution.[11]

"Family Victim" presents a portrait of Estu Wardhani, a young man from a highly respected and successful rural Javanese family. At first, Estu suffers from neuropsychiatric symptoms and drops out of college, but adulthood brings growing anger and violence and other anti-social behaviors, an addiction to gambling, an inability to hold down a job, and an unraveling marriage.
"Family Victim" examines a universal predicament: how families and communities interpret and attempt to control troubled and troublesome members and how problematic individuals, in turn, influence their own treatment by their communities. While family and psychiatrists believe Estu is suffering from anti-social personality disorder and traditional healers see him as possessed by evil spirits, Estu blames his family for spoiling and disrespecting him. Only after Estu's will is broken by a traditional healer, the death of his father from a prolonged illness, and the birth of a second daughter, does Estu realize what it takes to be a responsible adult in a traditional society.

Francoeur Makes A Joke
Rustin Dodd, who writes for The Kansas City Star and on their Royals blog, Ball Star, reported the following quote from former Met Jeff Francoeur:
Citi Field is a damn joke.
Despite his offensive struggles I liked Frenchy as a Met and wish him the best in his new home in Kansas City. However I don't like the blame the ballpark excuse. Hard work and adjusting your strategy is the way to beat the beast of a tough home park. That's not to say he didn't work hard (I'm sure most ball players work much harder than I do) but perhaps his efforts were misguided given his opinion of the stadium he worked in.
Ted Berg, in his Ted Quarters blog discusses Francoeur's comment in a more entertaining and in your face manner than I can. It's a must read.

Connect ,Collaborate ,Contribute :NITK 8th Global Alumni Meet
Pics by Prakash D�Souza
Bellevision Media Network
Dubai, 27 Jan 2013: His Highness Sheik Nahayan bin Mabarak Al Nahayan, Minister, Ministry of Higher Education & Scientific Research and Chancellor of The Higher Colleges of Technology, United Arab Emirates while joining in the festivities of the NITK 8th Global Alumni Convention held at Atlantis, The Palm Dubai on Friday, 25 January 2013 reflected on the significance of being an alumnus from any institution of higher education and mesmerized the NITK Alumni members through following 3 important messages.
First, being an alumnus declares that you were admitted and that you studied successfully at your institution. Second, being an alumnus also suggests that you share a particular educational experience with fellow alumni and third, being an alumnus means that your reputation is, to a certain extent, defined by the record of all alumni together.
Elaborating further His Highness Sheik Nahayan bin Mabarak Al Nahayan expressed that when a school such as NITK is known to have high entrance standards and to demand high levels of academic performance, being an alumnus indicates a high level of intelligence and achievement Indeed NITK took you in and cared for you. It attended to far more than the mastery of your academic subject. It changed your life.
Quoting the example of the impressive, well-known record of Kundapur Vaman Kamath which has provoked great global admiration for NITK alumni His Highness Sheik Nahayan bin Mabarak Al Nahayan informed that outstanding success achieved by only one alumnus can raise the reputation of all alumni.
Further, as NITK alumni are professing knowledge and preparing the next generations to carry on their work in the future His Highness Sheik Nahayan bin Mabarak Al Nahayan urged NITK Alumni to take that role seriously.
With the Quote of famous Swedish botanist Linnaeus "A professor can never better distinguish himself in his work than by encouraging a clever pupil, for the true discoverers are among them, as comets among the stars." His Highness Sheik Nahayan bin Mabarak Al Nahayan stated that In our country His Highness the President, Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al-Nahayan, likewise noted that the future depends on today's teaching and learning when he said that (and I quote) "educating the individual is this country's most valuable investment. It represents the foundation for progress and development." Supported steadfastly by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al-Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister, and Ruler of Dubai, and by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al-Nahayan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Commander of the Armed Forces, that belief has powered the phenomenal progress of the United Arab Emirates.
8th NITK Alumni Association Global Convention Souvenir "TAWASUL" was released by His Highness Sheik Nahayan bin Mabarak Al Nahayan, Minister, Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research during the occasion.

How to Blow Out Eggs
By emptying an egg of its yolky contents, you can automatically expand its crafting possibilities. We love using blown-out eggs for Easter crafts, dyeing techniques, or other decorations. Try this technique on your Easter eggs this year.
Instructions:Using a Dremel Moto Tool to blow out eggs.
- Use a Dremel Moto Tool or a pair of cuticle scissors to carefully cut a hole slightly larger than 1/8" diameter at each end of the egg (see Step 1 ).
- Place a bulb syringe in one of the holes and blow the contents of the egg out through the other end (see Step 2). Rinse the inside of the egg with mild soap, water, and a very small amount of bleach. Let dry.
- Paint the shells or decorate as you wish.

United Way of Perry County would like to take this opportunity to thank the youth, youth-group leaders and various businesses and agencies of the community for taking part in this year's successful Youth Day of Caring Nov. 3.
Youth groups joined forces to paint, wash windows, rake, clean, weed, clean landscaping, construct the new Born Learning Trail and clear trails at designated locations across the county. The free labor provided by our volunteers saved our local nonprofit organizations many maintenance dollars and numerous hours of valuable time.
After reading Tim Kloeppel's column on same sex marriage (Monday's News), I was somewhat amused, but I also felt a great sadness. Mr. Kloeppel uses the analogy "Try to force the positive ends of two batteries together and let me know how successful you are at making them stick."
I found this analogy to be somewhat amusing. I assure you that I can take the positive end (anode) of one battery, touch it to the negative end (cathode) of another battery and they will not "stick" either.
There are many that are still struggling, even a year after the loss of a loved one or friend.
They are still searching for answers and wanting to know. Some even feel they're to blame or they should have been there. Depression is the most common reason for suicide, along with issues in life such as divorce, loss of jobs, the way people treat others, and a break-up of a relationship.
Editor's Note: The Perry County News is publishing a series of interviews conducted by eighth-graders in Joyce Stath's English class at Tell City Junior-Senior High School. The interviews are of people one or two generations older than students. Today's column is by Corrie Kimbril, who profiles her grandfather, Raymond Mendoza.
In response to the Perry County News' Nov. 18 editorial "Gay-marriage ban will
place state on wrong path," I'd like to voice a different opinion.
We frequently boast the achievements of many of our community members in these pages. One student makes the spring dean's list at Ivy Tech, another is on the president's list and yet another graduates. Each is a human stretching toward his or her potential and a tribute to the value our community places on growth.
For many people, going to college isn't much more than a continuation of high school. For some, however, it's a struggle that can be overcome with the help of available, affordable classes.

I am writing this to the attention of anyone who listens, who reads. I just saw a beautiful slideshow of the changing trees throughout our United States; in the background softly played the glorious song "God Bless America."
"Oh beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain, for purple mountains majesties, above the fruited plain. "America, America God shed his Grace on thee, and crown thy good with brotherhood, from sea to shining sea."

It is time for a revolution in American education. Schools are no longer responsible for only teaching children reading, writing and arithmetic. We must now teach children to think deeply and critically about all of the information that comes so easily to them through multi-faceted media.

Sylvester Stallone: 'Art Basel exhibit is nerve-wracking'
Sylvester Stallone is nervous about showing his paintings at Art Basel.
Sylvester Stallone's nerves are in shreds ahead of his Art Basel exhibition in Miami, Florida.
The 69-year-old actor is best known as an action hero thanks to movie franchises including Rocky, Rambo and The Expendables, but in his spare time, he is also a keen painter and he has wowed critics around the world.
But, for all his macho exterior, Sly admits he is anxious about his latest exhibition at the annual art exhibition and he hopes it is received well.
"It's kind of daunting because you can't blame anybody else, it's all you," he told Page Six at a Du Jour magazine event. "It's incredibly gratifying, but it's nerve-wracking."
Sylvester, who is showing his paintings at Galerie Gmurzynska, opened up to Britain's The Telegraph newspaper about his artistic style earlier this year (15).
Estimating he has produced between 300 and 400 works, beginning with a portrait of a primitive man in a jungle, which he created when he was eight, the action man said, "It was the first time and it seemed to come out of nowhere. It just percolated in my mind."
He also told the outlet, "Painting attacks the senses".
When he isn't working on his art in his garage, Sly is still busy making movies and he is currently starring in hit Rocky sequel Creed, alongside Michael B.Jordan, and he admitted to Page Six he enjoyed being on the other side of the ropes for a change, playing the Fantastic Four star's trainer.
"The most fun part was standing outside the ring watching Michael take the punches," he said. "He was fantastic, he trained with superhuman effort. He took a lot of punishment for real… He threw himself into it like a professional."

The more I think about it, I just don't see one of our expirings being traded in the next week. There just aren't any opportunities and the only way we trade for a longer term contract would be if the player were himself a desirable tradeable asset or could enter the short list of rotational players on our team.
The larger the contract, the less likely it is to be traded. Foster 6.7M, Ford 8.5M, Dunleavy 10.6M. I don't think we really want to trade Foster and Ford and Dunleavy will not be traded because we don't want to take back players that would eat that much into the the available dollars we would have for this summer if they just aren't going to be heavily used.
So, with only a few days left until the trade deadline, I'd say our chances of swinging a trade are fading fast.

Connecting Sibsets
I'm stealing this game from another site, I thought it was a lot of fun
So basically, the first person names a sibset they know (ie. Elizabeth & Joshua) then the next person connects it to a sibset they know with one of the names in the past sibset (ie. Elizabeth & Joshua, next person - Joshua, Sophia & Max, next person - Sophia, Lindsay & Jordyn etc.)
Does that make sense? LOL hopefully it wasn't too confusing! It shows how some names have been used in different sibsets
I'll start:

Phoebe gives Albany a health check up
Tue, 07 Feb 2012 13:50:00 GMT —
The Phoebe Community Benefits Committee met Monday to discuss new regulations put on them by the Internal Revenue Service.
The IRS now mandates all tax exempt hospitals to perform a health needs assessment every three years to target the health needs in the area.
The committee will be spending the next year and a half creating a plan for that assessment.
"We'll do that in the next several months, we'll be pulling in data and looking at the health status and the health needs of the community and then we'll have a collaborative process across the community to bring in that data and what the needs are," says Jackie Ryan, VP Strategy at Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital.
Once data is collected, they will determine how to best address those needs in the area, all in hopes of creating a better health status for all in southwest Georgia.

I'm sorry to hear about Casey, probably is his stomach.
There's your group sing! :)
Here you go, UnckleScott.
Ashton cannot sing at all. :down
Group sing! What's up with Casey?
Even though it's lip synched, I still love it!
Pia is so totally my favorite!
The group sing got better as it went along, but it started out sounding pretty bad.
Wow, that mansion is HUGE!
Did anyone else think Paul McDonald looked embarrassed to be up there in the group sing?
I actually liked the group sing. Much better than in the last couple of years.
I would have to say James is my favorite now -- but I couldn't stand him a few weeks ago, Go figure."Maybe I'm Amazed" was um...amazing.

Yvonne graduated from Glasgow Art School in 1998, receiving the American friends of the GSA award and was a Sotheby's International Young Artist, 1999. Trained as a sculptor, she now works primarily in Acrylics & Oil on canvas.
Artist Statement
As far back as I recall I have always made art.
Much of the inspiration for my paintings comes from the stunning natural Scottish landscape. I love the quality of dappled light in the forests, the ever changing vista; a swift turn on the path leading to glens, mountains and seascape. I am intrigued by an implied human presence within my subject matter, the juxtaposition of the subjects and use of colour create a narrative, suggesting emotions, time and place without direct statement.
In my paintings I aim to capture the inner luminosity through use of extended layers of glaze and chiaroscuro, in some work I incorporate a variety of materials with glazing to depict the texture of the subject, whilst in others only glazing.
I was taught by artists such as Ken Mitchell, Pete Beven, Jock McInnes, Norman Kirkham, and Tom Allan amongst others.
Prices and delivery of original art can be obtained by contacting Yvonne direct.

Nationally-recognized speaker and ag advocate Michele Payn-Knoper doesn't shy away from tough questions. If you're looking for a straight answer on how to handle an issue, she's your woman. Her blog is full of great tips for helping farmers and ranchers serve as ambassadors for their industries. In a recent blog, she offered the following tips on how to conduct yourself if you want to gain the respect of others to the point that they consider you a thought leader:
Be honest. It's easy to pretend to be someone else in today's social media-driven society; some people even thrive on building false profiles. Don't be anyone but you! It's also easier to say that we do everything right in agriculture — that farmers and ranchers never do anything wrong and that pundits are crazy. None of those is true; an honest conversation starts with the acknowledgement of problems across the agri-food system.
Put the industry as a whole before yourself. Call me crazy, but today's regulations and activist agendas will impact you — your family, your bottom line, your right to farm — in 5 or 10 years. Are you sure that you don't have time to step up and help those who are working to give you a voice? Of course you need to take care of home fires, but don't do so at the demise of the big picture of agriculture.
Use your ears more than your mouth. Can you hear a question about agriculture or farming and really listen? Or do you automatically go into self-defense mode or come up with your answer while the other person is talking? I find many agriculturists are incredibly defensive when the conversation turns to food. A full 98.5 percent of the population never will live on a farm; they sometimes simply have a question. Thought leaders ask others questions and listen closely to the answers.
Keep an eye on the long term. Thought leaders are those who can look beyond their own businesses, understand global demands and consider the impact of policy, activism and markets on all of agriculture. If pork producers are having a major issue and you're a dairy person, do you turn a blind eye? Or do you step up because of the implications for all of agriculture?
Keep passionate. Passion acts as a magnet. It propels a movement. It engages a community. Thought leaders have the ability to channel their passion for the good of the cause.
Be curious. Sometimes it seems that although children thrive on curiosity, adults bury it. Sometimes the simple act of asking "why?" can lead you down an entirely different path — a path of greater impact. And more importantly, it will help you discern what's important to the people you're trying to inform about agriculture.
Execute. If you don't have the ability to put wheels under ideas and involve others in pulling the wagon, you don't have a lot. Bright, shiny objects are fun, but they become dull over time and get put away in the back of the closet. Only those who can execute and grow ideas are true leaders.
Keep an open mind. "There exist limitless opportunities in every industry. Where there is an open mind, there will always be a frontier" said Charles Kettering. Many think North America's greatest days of innovation are in the past. I disagree; one can always find a frontier desperately in need of thought leadership. Agriculture is ripe with those opportunities; look at the technologies, businesses, communities and techniques available to you now that didn't exist five years ago. Be open enough to find a way to adapt them for the benefit of the big picture.
Stay tenacious. Producing food, fuel, feed and fiber isn't an easy business. Weather works against you. So do agendas around a myriad of issues, often fueled by misinformation. But always know that one small voice, a single picture, or a tweet may just capture the attention of thousands and put a friendly face on farming.
Roll with change. You're as young as you're ever going to be today — are you really sure you want to spend your life complaining about change? Many reference their age in not doing well in social media, but I've seen 60-year-old grandpas outpace 25-year-old guys in using Facebook. Don't let your age, position or lack of experience prevent you from adapting to change!
Practice humility. Enough to admit when you're wrong and apologize when needed. There's not a better teacher of this than being a parent. Humility is rare in those holding leadership positions, but the few who possess this trait can lead a movement as servant leaders.
Express optimism. If you don't believe in a better tomorrow, why should anyone bother to follow you?
Be willing to have tough conversations. Is local/organic better? Do we still need subsidies? Why do you think your farming practice is better than mine? Do consumers have a right to decide how their food is raised? Difficult, but thought leadership is about leading the conversation, not reacting to it. It's also about taking the high road even when others sink to the gutter.
Truthfully, I'd like to see more true thought leadership in agriculture. We all preach to the choir that we have to do things differently, so how about we actually put our muscle where our mouth is?

Outgoing State Twenty20 champions Canterbury Wizards ended their reign with a two-run win over State Northern Knights at Whangarei's Cobham Oval.
Wizards captain Chris Harris continued in his position as the competition's leading scorer with an unbeaten 45, including three fours and a pair of sixes, as Canterbury posted 125 for four.
Knights captain James Marshall led his team with 48, but they fell agonizingly short, missing out by just two runs with two wickets to spare.

WALES cannot afford to risk losing the jobs and worker's rights provided by the EU.
There are around 150,000 jobs in Wales depending on EU trade and more than 450 firms from other Member States have bases in Wales, providing more than 50,000 jobs. If these companies could not export their products tariff free to the EU they would invest elsewhere.
EU legislation has also given workers health and safety protection, paid holidays, and equal rights for part-time workers. It has ensured protection against discrimination and harassment at work, the right to reasonable working hours and the right to maternity and paternity leave.
The Tory right and UKIP want to leave the EU in order to deny Welsh workers their rights. Indeed, you only have to look at some of the policies and statements from UKIP to see that this is the case. They want to scrap maternity pay in SMES, they want to privatise the NHS and one of them even said that public sector workers and the unemployed should not be allowed to vote.
We however share an ambitious vision to develop a strong economy and create positive, well-paid jobs for people in Wales. We want prosperity and fairness.
That's why we will all be campaigning with a positive message about the EU over the coming months. We simply cannot afford not to.

A brand new Cornish bacon is launched this week having secured two food industry awards.The 'Cornish Sweetheart' streaky bacon, developed by the Kernow Sausage Company, has picked up a British Pig Executive (BPEX) Silver Award and a Gold Great Taste Award before its official launch."We gave it the name Cornish Sweetheart on the grounds that it is very Cornish in its provenance and it has a sweet flavour" said Gavin Roberts of the Kernow Sausage Company."The bacon is made using traditional methods and it is the addition of the marinade that makes a big difference. It gives it a sweet edge and a really interesting depth of flavour. The combination of sweet and hot is a winner in my book."Described as the 'Oscars' of the food world, the Great Taste Awards are organised by the Guild of Fine Food and are the acknowledged benchmark for speciality food and drink across the UK. Winning products are awarded either single, double or triple gold, with triple gold being considered as "Wow, you must taste this".The Cornish Sweetheart streaky bacon was awarded gold, classed as "close to perfect".Gavin said: "As well as the flavour, I think the judges were quite interested in the appearance. It is a pink bacon with a dark edge around it, so it is unique to look at.""Continuous innovation and product development is very important to us, so we are thrilled that the Cornish Sweetheart bacon has won these awards."BPEX holds its awards each year in order to recognise pork manufacturers who meet specific quality criteria in various areas of the product including taste, innovation and visual appearance.The Kernow Sausage Company's Cornish Bratwurst, Trelawney Traditional Sausage and Proper Hogs Pudding were also awarded with BPEX awards.Run by Gavin Roberts and his family, The Kernow Sausage Company supplies restaurants, hotels, delis and farm shops all over Cornwall with their multi-award winning range.Kernow Sausage Company have a herd of 100 pigs on the farm, which are hand-reared and given plenty of space to roam around. They also source top quality meat from a number of carefully selected Cornish farms. The welfare of the animals is very important to the Roberts family, which Gavin believes also improves the quality and taste of the meat.

Keeping the Promise of Global Accounting Standards
In this Policy Brief, PIIE Visiting Fellow Nicolas Véron provides a comprehensive analysis of the strategic challenges facing the attempt to harmonize the world's accounting practices through the global spread of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). After taking stock of the initial successes of IFRS adoption, he identifies unsustainable features in the current governance framework of the IFRS Foundation, the organization that hosts IFRS standard-setting, and advocates reform to make the IFRS Foundation accountable not only to individual governments but also to the global investor community. He also proposes a variety of incentives for individual jurisdictions to converge towards IFRS, as such convergence looks set to be more gradual than had been envisaged by the IFRS Foundation in the past.

Deputy Carries Frightened Deer Off Road [VIDEO]
We've all heard the phrase "You looked like a deer caught in the headlights." Check out this video of a young deer really caught in the headlights of a police car. Deputy Ryan Swartz from Michigan actually carries this stunned deer of the road!
WENM -TV reported:
When Swartz first arrived, we're told he thought it was a decoy, but quickly learned it was indeed a live deer.
"I figured as I walked up to it, it would just run off the road, and it just stood still. It wasn't moving at all. So I went up and I pet it and I was thinking that would get the deer off the road," said Swartz.
But the deer didn't budge. So the deputy had to make a decision on how to get the deer off the roadway before another accident occurred.
He gets the deer to the side of the road.
"That's where it stood for about 10 minutes. I went up and I pet the deer behind its ears and it got its wits back together and it took off running," said Swartz.
This is one of the sweetest things I've ever seen! Right up there with people stopping their cars on a busy road to let a family of ducks cross safely. This deputy deserves a raise!

I hate to say it, but I imagine any team at 1-4 or below right now is playing the spoiler. I was just looking at the standings to try and suss that out. 8 teams get in. It might be possible to sneak in at 4-4, though, so no reason to give up. Besides, momentum for next season, when we've all learned from our mistakes and we rework our teams. :)
Yeah, I was trying to be the spoiler last night! While it feels like I haven't been doing so well (you know, that 4 game losing streak and all), all but one loss has been by less than one TD. My offense, which has been just bad lately, didn't play too poorly last night. It just took me way to long to make an adjustment to stop Lofton, who was automatic for 10 yards every time. Which is fine, I suppose, when Dwight Clark was averaging 34.7 yards per catch.
Yeah, I'm definitely up for next season. In fact, I want it to start next week! Time to jettison this dog Curt Warner with his feeble 4.4 yards per carry. I hate to say it, but it's almost like Means, O. Andersen, E. Campbell, or perhaps Okoye are must haves in this game. I wonder if there's a website somewhere that allows you to do a draft for this game.
Great game man. I spent all week figuring this would be the end of my happy little streak.
And again, crazy hurry up offense there at the end. Good playin with ya.
I hate to say it, but it's almost like Means, O. Andersen, E. Campbell, or perhaps Okoye are must haves in this game.
Campbell didn't help me last night.
Honestly, with all of the crap I've seen people give (not necessarily here) about using Campbell as the workhorse he's meant to be, I don't use him nearly as much as I should because I fear upsetting my GWJ-mates and getting accused of being cheesy.
I'm not actually arguing they're cheese. Hell, the Chargers run (or should) Tomlinson all the time, and that's not cheesy! ...and I guess we've seen he can be stopped.
Just seems like there are some RBs in this game far ahead of their similarly-ranked peers I think my record pretty closely reflects my relative skill level, so I'm not suggesting that this somehow has affected my outcomes. But, I have come to learn that Curt Warner can be a dog! For the record, I think O. Andersen > Curt Warner, though both are silver stars.
Don't get me wrong -- We could just restart this league as soon as it's over with absolutely no changes (well, except starting with injuries off), and I'd be all over it! I'm really enjoying the league. There were two very frustrating games in my losses (one because of the connection and my wife's insistence on chatting with me throughout the game). However, losses like last night, for example...wow, what a great game. That was just kick-*ss fun! I can't wait to lose to...hey, to DS... next week!
To me the idea of the draft is to mix it up a bit, extend those team-making strategies. I started thinking about it again after looking at the leading rusher list (Campbell, Anderson, Means, Campbell, Anderson, Campbell, Anderson are the first seven).
Oooh, ooh, I'm a Cunningham! I think yours doesn't count anymore, though.
So, just a heads-up for next week (whenever we roll over). I'm out of town Sun-Tue. If we're ready for the new week by Saturday night, maybe we could squeeze in a game then, DS.
Kush and I are actually scheduled to play at 10 PM EST tomorrow night. Is that too late?
We've slowly rolled past the week deadline. It's okay by me. At least it's on the schedule. That's the important thing. But if it doesn't get played by Saturday AM I'll have to roll it forward, I think.
Understandable. He and I have both had strange weeks, and if we can't get it played by Saturday AM there's no need to wait to roll forward.
Hey, can we start using the league website to put up write-ups and stuff? Because I see so much hilarious potential for snark/fun there going un-used.
Also, did anyone else realize that the best DB in the league is apparently some Generic on DSGamer's team?
I need to look at the stats more, but I hope all the top teams aren't just running teams. That would make me wonder with the kind of QB's and WR's we have in this game. Anyway, I agree, I'm having loads of fun, losses or not. I'm just starting to 'get it' in some ways, but I'll never be as hard core as some here.
The issue is, I think, one of the more dominant RBs can get a lot more done than a QB/WR. Moreover, from what i've seen, a lot of people were thinking like me, and were desperately afraid of getting burned for 400 YPG by Dan Marino, and too a Silver or gold DB.
If we start doing write-ups on the League page (which I think is great!), it might be a good idea to link to it from here...just saying that I don't go looking for those things.

Anyway, I agree, I'm having loads of fun, losses or not. I'm just starting to 'get it' in some ways, but I'll never be as hard core as some here.
My stats don't show it but more than half of my touchdowns only happened because I moved my way down the field with short/medium range passes combined with some decent runs of the 4 and 5 yard variety. Granted I do get some 10+ yard runs, but it's not regular and I do get hit behind the line fairly often.
My drives live or die by the short/medium range passing game. It's just that I'm awful at throwing into the endzone without tossing interceptions so I tend to focus on ramming Ottis in there most of the time.
Is there a way to see how my play calling is split between runs and passes?
Is there a way to see how my play calling is split between runs and passes?
If you go the sortable stats, Team Overall section, the columns PPLY and RATT give you the number of passing and running plays you've called. I think some sacks or QB scrambles may get into RATT?
Yours says 63 pass to 76 runs...wow, close. I'm at 106 v. 69...not so good. Hey, I play from behind! (Please don't take that out of context...)
My initial assumption was incorrect. I see some top teams as pass heavy (like my upcoming opponent Miama Iron Men (Ruthlessmuffin). But as 'fire mentions, many are balanced.
So, looks like Kush and I couldn't get our game played this week. DS, I apologize. I was on at 10 PM, but by the time he came on at 11:30 I was in no shape to be playing a football game. I was barely useful as a meat shield in Gears. So, not sure what the rule is on this, flip a coin?
I won't be able to play until, oh, about 8:00 PM tonight (watching wife's store all day) so a coin flip it is.

You know that "left-back problem" the US national team has had in recent years? Well, they had it back in the late 1990s, too. And for a brief glimmer in 1997 and '98, Tampa Bay Mutiny defender Mike Duhaney looked like he might be the solution.
A speedy, All-Conference performer at UNLV from 1992 to '94, Duhaney was the 87th pick of the inaugural MLS player draft, but he missed the league's first season after tearing his ACL in a pre-Olympic tune-up against Mexico.
Throwing himself into rehab, he made it back to the practice field within four months, then set about making up for the lost time – and then some: Duhaney earned the Mutiny's starting left back spot in 1997, played 25 games and won the MLS Rookie of the Year Award.
But his path to greater glory, and the US national team, never materialized. Duhaney was traded to New York the following season and spent two years there before he was dealt to Columbus, where he faced more injury woes.
He departed MLS for Germany in 2002, making a handful of appearances for second-tier side FSV Mainz 05 before dropping the curtain on his career.
Where He Is Now
Those who remember Duhaney more for his blistering speed than his technical ability may be surprised to learn that his post-career path has landed him in the Phoenix area, where he serves as technical director of the academy program of Barcelona AZ, a club that works on a collaborative basis with Barcelona USA.
That's right, the former defender is teaching tiki-taka to kids in the desert.
"We're building something new here," he says of the club, where he's been for the past three years. "We've really taken the step to building technical players. You see a lot of, 'OK we're going to get all the athletes together, we're going to kick the ball down the field, we're going to chase it, we're going to wait for a mistake from the other team, and that's how we'll score.'
"But we've taken a step back and asked, 'OK, what's lacking, on our teams here, and even across the US?' The answer is having players that can play by being technical, being able to keep the ball."
READ: Barcelona announce huge expansion into US youth camps
Duhaney and his colleagues visit Spain every year to learn from Barcelona coaches, and the Arizona club has adopted the Barcelona system, teaching it to their players from ages four and five on up.
One of Duhaney's most vivid memories from his MLS career involves a technical player who could keep the ball: former Tampa Bay and Colorado playmaker Carlos Valderrama. As a rookie defender, he had always looked up to the wild-haired Colombian and now, here he was sharing the field with the legendary player in a Mutiny preseason scrimmage.
"He gets the ball in the air, chests it and he has three guys around him trying to get the ball. He was juggling it in the air, holding them all off," Duhaney recalls.
"I just stood there and watched him, amazed. I didn't move. I was supposed to be defending him and I just stood there. [Mutiny head coach John] Kowalski comes up to me and says, 'It's OK, you can touch him, you know?'"
READ: What ever happened to Carlos Valderrama?
Of course, Duhaney didn't remain a spectator for long. He snapped out of his stargazing funk, and went on to win league honors that year as the top rookie for his work on the Tampa Bay backline.
Now, his soccer odyssey has him in Mesa, Ariz., spreading the Barcelona gospel. One of the caveats of implementing the tiki-taka style is that it's not a results-oriented philosophy at the youth level. Young Iniestas in training will lose games trying to play the Barça way. Turnovers will turn into goals for the opposition.
"But we stay with it," says Duhaney. "We keep the parents educated about our long-term goals, and we talk to the kids and we say this is going to happen. But in two or three years, you're not going to lose the ball in [those spots]."
That's when results will start to turn their way. But it can be tough convincing competitive kids (to say nothing of parents) not to focus on results.
Duhaney has two daughters – Kierdis, 13, and Tassia 18 – and a son, Donovan, 11. Donovan plays up one age group at Barcelona AZ, and there are a number of very competitive kids on his team.
"They want to win," says Duhaney. "But we tell them we have to stay focused, that there's an end result. It's not tomorrow; it's not a month from now. It's when you're U-18 and going to play in the State Cup, and the regionals and nationals, and then going on to play D-I or going pro. That's the result we're looking for."
It's a result their technical director knows all about.
What They Said
"I've known him since he was probably 14 years old. We grew up playing with the Nomads, out in San Diego. He started out as a forward, and then they moved him to left back, and it was very interesting. Now you had a left back with an attacker's mentality. And that's the way he played the game. He wanted to get forward. He was comfortable with the ball, and he tackled hard, and he was tough to get around. He was a fast, hard-nosed guy that didn't really take any crap. And that's the type of guy you want on your team."
– Frankie Hejduk, former youth-level, US U-23 and Tampa Bay teammate.

Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty and CO2 Laser Resurfacing

Which Linux Do you recommend? And Why?!?
I am enrolled in Cisco Academy, and next semester plan on taking Linux core courses. I play around with Ubuntu a lot and several others and would like to know from a more experienced and abroad spectrum which Linux you recommend? Note: I am a experienced windows user. I would like to free my self of the Microsoft cult! Thank you
"I play around with Ubuntu a lot and several others and would like to know from a more experienced and abroad spectrum which Linux you recommend?"
I think that you should be fine with Ubuntu or Kubuntu. I prefer the look of Kubuntu to Ubuntu.
Steve Stites
Well, nobody knows what will be enterprise soon.. So you can try CentOS (it is a clone of RHEL - all packages are built from the same SRPMs) Or maybe OpenSUSE. Or you can continue using Ubuntu - it has a chance to be the most popular desktop Linux. Or you can try to dive into Linux from Scratch just to have some problems with low level configuration (if you are too fortunate, it is easy to create them - before building anything beyond basic LFS, so you will be able to fight low-level system setup in a simple environment). Or ask your teacher on Cisco courses what they in the Cisco Academy would recommend..
Maybe your experience with distributions is fruitful when you have reasons to want to use some distribution and 'I am more accustomed to it' is not considered at all.
Moved: This thread is more suitable in Linux-Distributions and has been moved accordingly to help your thread/question get the exposure it deserves.
The "getting started" link below might be helpful.
Decide on What you want exactly.
I would recommend trying a few live cd's and discovering exactly what you want in a distro, which GUI you prefer (KDE, GNOME...). If ubuntu works for you, then by all means Ubuntu :D. If you want too dig into linux a little more you could move to debian or slackware. But in the end you will be using the distro you choose, so best advice is to try them.
If you like a challenge and tweaking your system you might prefer another distro (Slackware or Debian). If you reaaaaaly want to get into linux then Gentoo of LFS would likely be the target (but not the best place to start).
The beauty of linux is basically:
You have many choices that range in difficulty of use and this is by no means a comprehensive list, just an overgeneralization based on my experiences with the distro's.
Ubuntu, Opensuse = nice User friendly for beginners or those who don't wan't to be bothered with manually configuring and installing everything, large support base, loaded repositories and is usually stable on most systems.
Debian = usually rock solid, more difficult to learn than ubuntu but also has a large support group, again loaded repositories and stable version is know for STABLE.
Slackware = Rock solid once setup, lightening fast, usually installs pretty easily but does require the use of the comand line to tweak the system. Has a large support group, and there are lots of places to get software packages but you might have to search or you can compile them yourself( compiling can be done with all previously mentioned). Has a minimal package manager that can be installed. This is what I started with, I have tried many others but use this because I'm most comfortable with it.
Gentoo, LFS = might want to get the books for these. I did install gentoo without too much of a problem when I was first switching to linux but the book is necessary especially as a newbie to tweak it and LFS might be a bit much (although the book is quite detailed). But they were also lightening fast and rock solid once up on my system.
In short, best to try out a few distro's and decide which best suits your needs. Best wishes and welcome to linux :D.
Thank you...

i am surprised no one has tested a mobi book on a kobo glo.
I am sure I have seen a report of mobi working on a Glo. Unfortunately, I can't find it right now. It should work as the firmware is the same between the Touch and the Glo. The package is different but the application part is the same.
Personally, while most mobi files work, they don't work as well as an epub. So, I convert from mobi to epub. That is what I recommend you do. Don't convert from the PDF, do it from your mobi files. If your mobi versions are already clean, there shouldn't be a problem producing epubs from them.

Macro Sensors' New Subsea LVDT Measurement Devices
US-based Macro Sensors introduces a line of submersible LVDT Position Sensors for use as part of subsea measurement systems.
Macro Sensors say that their LVDTs are proven to offer reliable measurement and feedback for continuous monitoring. The SSIR 937 Series Submersible LVDT Position Sensor is now a standard design available from stock for fast turnaround.
Offering extraordinary repeatability in extreme pressure environments, the SSIR 937 Series Submersible LVDT Position Sensors can withstand deep sea environments with external pressures to 5000 psi. Inconel construction enhances the already high reliability of the LVDT assembly, ensuring the submersible transmitters can meet life requirements of at least 20 years, even if the device is fully exposed to seawater at depths greater than 10,000 feet.
Designed for use in either pressure-balanced, oil-filled containers or directly in seawater, these rugged, 0.94 inch (24 mm) diameter LVDT Position Sensors are available in standard ranges of 2.00 inches (50 mm), 3.00 inches (75 mm) or 4.00 inches (100 mm). Other ranges available upon special request.
SSIR 937 Series Submersible LVDT Position Sensors also resolve the problem of getting a signal back to the surface, even at great water depths. To minimize the number of pressure-sealed connections and I/Os, a 4-20mA two-wire, loop-powered I/O is utilized. A 4-20mA I/O also minimizes noise over long transmission lines. Offsets can be easily made in the data acquisition system on the platform above. A high pressure Seacon-Brantner subsea connector is standard. A welded connector is also available.

Anyone who knows me, knows I love anything themed.
I love how Megan and Kyle stayed true to their unique New Orleans themed wedding. Every detail was perfectly styled.
Although they aren't originally from New Orleans, Louisiana, Megan and her family are big Saints fans. They also vacation there and fell in love with the ambiance and mood that only The Big Easy provides.
Megan and Kyle, it was a pleasure working with you both and your friends and families.
From the first time we met, you have been kind, thoughtful, and always concerned with the happiness of others. I hope those traits will endure as the foundation for a long happy marriage.
I wish you both ALL the best.
Hugs & Tons of Love,

SC AG finds nothing to prosecute against treasurer
Fri, 06 Apr 2012 19:09:02 GMT —
The South Carolina attorney general's office says it found nothing to prosecute following an investigation into "pay-to-play" allegations in the state retirement system.
Treasurer Curtis Loftis called the decision a major victory for transparency and accountability.
Chief Deputy Attorney General John McIntosh said in a letter dated Thursday his office reviewed a report prepared by the State Law Enforcement Division and concluded "there was no activity which warrants action."
Loftis says the letter ends the investigation pushed by his political opponents, as he publicly complained that the state's portfolio has too many alternative investments and pays excessive fees.
SLED confirmed in February it was investigating a report that companies were told they could improve their chances of handling state pension investment work if they paid a friend of Loftis.

Battlefield 1942: The Road to Rome Review
The Road to Rome is an expansion pack for Battlefield 1942 that takes the action to Italy and Sicily (OK, so technically the battles in this expansion actually took place in 1943 and 1944, but Battlefield 1942 is not a big stickler for historical accuracy). You get six new maps, the chance to play as the Italians or Free French, and a few new weapons. What you don't get is a new campaign, new game types, or any enhancements to the AI for single player play. Whether or not these additions are enough to justify your purchase of Road to Rome will depend on how much you enjoy playing Battlefield 1942.
|An Italian Bf110.
The centerpiece of the expansion is the new maps, and they are all well-designed and provide a challenge different from those in the original game. If there's a central theme to the maps aside from their location, it's mountains. Rugged terrain figures prominently in all six maps, making the race to capture the high ground the top priority. Because of the terrain infantry can sometimes get close to the objectives without being seen too easily, but it also means that there are plenty of highly defensible positions that will challenge attackers to pull off uphill assaults. Tank jockeys will need to maneuver carefully lest they go careening into a gully, off of a bridge, or stumble into an ambush.
The Battle of Anzio map starts the Allies in the port town for which the battle is named, while the Axis start in an encampment at the the other end of the map. The mountainous map is bisected by an L-shaped river that creates a chokepoint in the middle of the map.
The Battle of Salerno plays like a classic king-of-the-hill match. A large mountain sits between the Allied and Axis camps and when the game opens the race is on to capture the high ground. The loser in the race faces an uphill battle, literally.
Monte Cassino is another map which features a prominent mountain in the middle. This time the Axis get to start on top of the hill and it is the Allies that must make their way up the mountain. Their reward for doing so? Room to room fighting in the monastery that sits atop the mountain.
Monte Santa Croce is an interesting map that places both starting camps near the north end of the map. Rivers divide the two mountaintop camps and both sides must race down to the valley and south to a mountain containing all of the map's control points. As both sides come out of their bases, the armor and SP guns can lob shots at each other across the valley.
Operation Baytown takes place in the Straits of Messina between Sicily and Italy. The Allies begin on Sicily and can take the bridge connecting the land masses, or use the LCVPs to cross the water.
The final map is Operation Husky, which was the code name for the invasion of Sicily. Allies drop in on parachutes or hit the beach in LCVPs, and their initial objective is to capture the spawn point on the beach. From there the going is tough as cliffs line the beach and the Axis are holed-up in fortifications.

Causal relation between interest and exchange rates in the Asian currency crisis
This paper studies the causal relationship between interest rates and exchange rates in Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia and Thailand during the period bordering the 1997 Asian currency crisis to investigate the appropriateness of tight monetary policy in stabilizing exchange rates. We employ VAR models consisting of spot rates, forward rates and interest rate differentials to study the causal relations. In particular, we test for long-run causality as well as short-run causality by taking into account non-stationarity of the involved variables and the cointegrating relations among them. The test results show that except for some subsamples for Malaysia there is no evidence that interest rate differentials caused spot exchange rates at all horizons. Considering the ineffectiveness of high interest rates in stabilizing exchange rates and the high economic cost associated with keeping high interest rates for an extended time period, one may rightfully question the appropriateness of tight monetary policy during the Asian currency crisis.
