Outdoor Heritage, Inc., the circuit announced last summer that was set up to fill the void of high-level competition in the West, is disbanding a month and a half ahead of its first scheduled event.
OHI, with an investor group headed up by Gary Dobyns (the region's all-time leading money-winner), was slated to conduct its first event Feb. 8-10 at California's Lake Shasta. Four events were planned for both the North (northern California) and South (Arizona and southern Nevada) pro-am divisions, along with a five-tournament team division in northern California.
Several tour-level pros, including John Murray, Jared Lintner and Cliff Pirch, had told BassFan of their plans to compete in OHI events.
BassFan received the following release from OHI today (reprinted in its entirety):
From its launch 13 months ago, Outdoor Heritage (OHI) was a bold experiment in western tournament fishing and a valiant effort at angler promotion and payback. Unfortunately, we have not been able to garner enough sponsor support to sustain the business model or a reasonably reduced version of that model.
The current economic situation, recent election and regulatory environment have dissuaded boat, motor and industry-related sponsors from deepening their investments in California. Therefore, we will take the very best of what we have learned at OHI and apply it in our various fishing endeavors.
We thank the anglers who supported our efforts in this project and encourage them to support our other western circuits if tournament bass angling is to survive in the western United States. We also look forward to supporting the existing regional and national organizations that continue to operate in the West and hope there will be more to come. Full refunds of entry fees, deposits and memberships will be issued prior to Tuesday, Jan. 15, 2013.
For questions, email email@example.com. Our website will be taken down in conjunction with this press release, but we will keep the above email address operational until February 2013 to ensure there are no issues with angler refunds.

Zenit star misses tie after wife's death
Zenit St Petersburg goalkeeper Vyacheslav Malafeev has withdrawn from his side's Europa League tie against FC Twente on Thursday after his wife was killed in a car crash.
Marina Malafeev died when her car hit a snow bank on St Petersburg's Primorskoye road and hit a tree in the early hours of Thursday.
She was returning from performing at a gig with Russian group M-16 and singer Dmitry Rybakov is in intensive care as a result of the crash.
Zenit have said that Malafeev, 32, has returned immediately to St Petersburg and will be replaced for Thursday's game by Yury Zhevnov.
A statement on Zenit's official website read: "Marina Malafeev, our goalkeeper's wife, died early this morning in a car crash. Out deepest condolences to Vyacheslav Malafeev and his family."
Zenit's players will wear black armbands as a mark of respect. The Russian club are 3-0 down from the first leg in the Netherlands.

The Taiwanese manufacturer to expand its offer with a music subscription service.
The news has not yet been confirmed, but rumors speak about a new acquisition made by HTC through its controlled Beats Audio, that would further differentiate and enhance the offer on the company's smartphones and tablets. The target is MOG, a music subscription service similar to the more popular Spotify, and which is not having a good time lately due to the attentions its competitor has.
It's over an year that HTC was rumored to be working on a music service, so this would make perfectly sense and strengthen the already generous offer of services by High Tech Computer. We wait for more details about this story.

Strengths:Looks good
Weaknesses:Over all workmanship
Summary:This is one of the worst cars I have ever owned. I was glad to see all the positive reviews on this vehicle. Unfortunately I must have gotten a lemon... within the first 1000 miles my brakes went. I was driving down the road and the plastic piece that goes around the front windsheild flew off. My compressor unit when at 20,000... anytime my fan is on there is a horrible noise. Had attempted to have that fixed 2 times. Now turning to the left I get a horrible noise... Had this checked and they can find nothing wrong. Disappointed with the mpg...traded Buick Century that got 38 mpg on the highway and 25 city. To a 4 cyclinder that gets 23 city and 25 highway. Very sorry I bought this car. I should have known better than to buy a car from a manufacturer that was going out of business.

from Scoggin-Dickey Chevr
Year / Model Reviewed:2004 Olds Alero GL 4-dr.
Strengths:Powerful engine when properly fed and maintained. Sporty handling/brakes w/correct tires Very stylish, handsome exterior. 4-cylinder engine delivers 30+ MPG on highway trips, 22 - 25 MPG in town
Weaknesses:Cheap, flimsy front bucket seats need more padding/bolstering. Dash vents you can't adjust the way you really want them. Cheap controls for heater. Automatic headlights so convienient that inspection guy leaves them on in manual mode, runs your battery dead (what's that buzzing sound, anyway?). Beware the high insurance costs...
Summary:Bought as "Certified" used car from new-car dealer. Wasn't my first choice, wanted an SUV. Price was right, was trying to build credit. That said, car was decent enough. Bought w/25K miles, silver w/spoiler and 15" aluminum wheels. Very handsome looking car - one of my all-time favorites. Paint was scratched, carpet was dirty/stained - was rental car. 16-valve 4-cylinder engine w/4-spd. auto. transmission provided ample thrust for this 3,000 lb. car. Lethargic on regular gas, 25,000 miles worth of premium fuel and regular doses of fuel injector cleaner turned car into tire squealing monster - my wife was scared to ride with me at times. Which brings me to another point - my insurance agent told me that Aleros are expensive to insure. When I traded my (now) 3-year old Alero for a 2007 Ford Escape, my insurance went DOWN, even though the Escape's engine puts out 13 more horsepower. I guess buying an Alero turns you into Richard Petty in the insurance man's eyes.
Nice interior, even though 2nd cupholder location sucks (shared with ashtray, shifter smashes into your drink when putting into park). Many power goodies - automatic headlights, 6-way power driver's seat, windows, locks, mirrors, trunk release. Fold-down split rear seat. Standard AM/FM/CD (no mp3 ability) radio - no visible antenna - nice when going through the carwash. Car feels sporty - nice, fat steering wheel, easy to grip. Good cornering and braking after you jettison the noisy, slippery stock Eagle ST's for some decent replacement performance tires, even retaining the 15" wheels. Basic gauges, cheap heater controls (1 broke off day after I took delivery) Seats could use more padding/bolstering for "performance sedan", feel cheap and flimsy, not comfortable on long trips. Good sized trunk, more flexable w/folding split rear seats. Heat and A/C ok, except upper vents can not be angled above horizontal for more effective A/C distribution

Year / Model Reviewed:2004 Olds Alero
Strengths:Looks, throttle response, mpg, handling, low road noise.
Weaknesses:Goodyear tires from factory are noisy and don't even look good.
Summary:Follow-up to 1st review 1.33 yrs ago. Alero still running great - actually better than before. Mods include 18" 5 spoke racing rims, Eibach lowering springs (1 1/2 - 2 inch drop), Sumitomo performance tires which look GREAT, red calipers, racing buckets, new rear speakers 200 WATT),fiber hood scoop (makes the all-white Alero look very distinctive and tough), led brake-turn signal-running lights, outside mirror turn signal indicators, clayed body, 8mm ignition wires. Car looks as agressive as it runs. BEST IMPROVEMENT-Swapped out factory plugs for Bosch 2 spark plugs and the car now has incredibly faster throttle response at take-off; starts quicker, accelerates noticeably more smoothly, and idles much quieter. Can't believe it, but factory plugs from dealer were NOT gapped right (0.05 instead of 0.06 makes a HUGE difference in the 3.4 liter's performance.) Switched out trans fluid for Mobil 1 trans fluid and the vehicle shifts more smoothly, now. The Alero looks sharp and gets lots of great comments, especially from chicks, which is okay with me. Still gets 23.5 mpg city but with the increased throttle response I expect to eventually get better mpg. We'll see. Too bad there's no more Oldsmobile to make more of these great cars.

from Freeman Pontiac GMC
Year / Model Reviewed:2004 Oldmobile Alero
Strengths:Syling - a good looking car with the spoiler and alloy wheels.
Value for the money - a lot of options for the money.
Oldsmobile reputation for quality.
Weaknesses:Roofline is too low - very little headroom for a person 6' or taller.
Gas mileage is not what was claimed. I expected to get about 26 - 27 mpg with the 4 cylinder, am only getting about 20 -21.
Summary:I have not driven this car very long, but so far I am disappointed. I bought the GL model with the 2.2. liter Duratec engine, which seems peppy (rated at about 140 hp), and rated very good on gas, around 24 city and 32 highway. So far I have only acheived about 20 mpg. The headroom is also minimal. I'm about 6' 2" and unless I tilt back the seat and push it all the way back, my head will brush on the ceiling. The left arm rest seems to stick out over the drivers seat making me feel cramped on the left hand side as well.
I bought the car after comparing to other models such as a Chrysler PT Cruiser, Chevrolet Malibu, Toyota Corolla, Toyota Camry, Ford Taurus, and Ford Focus, and was attracted to it by its sylish looks, reported good gas mileage, and excellent price. It is also loaded up with more options such as power seats, alloy wheels, and spoiler that the competing models didn't have.

In the English county of Surrey, what type of liquor was recently sold in counterfeit form to pub customers?
In July 2010, officers from the Trading Standards Institute found that fake alcoholic beverages were being sold at pubs in Surrey, England. In many cases, counterfeiters had simply replaced the contents of expensive champagne bottles with cheap wine, with no ill effect to anything but the customer's pride. However, the pubs were also selling counterfeit vodka in Glen's and Spar Imperial bottles, and the phony booze had a methanol level that was much higher than normal. This extra ingredient put pub patrons at risk of nausea, vomiting and, in extreme cases, blindness.

Caen to leave Rangers as duo sign
Rangers have offloaded Swedish defender Karl Svensson to French club Caen.
The Sweden international arrived at Ibrox last summer as one of Paul Le Guen's first signings, and was heavily involved during the first half of the season.
However Svensson was used sparingly after the French coach left in January.
New boss Walter Smith brought in David Weir and Ugo Ehiogu to add experience to the Rangers rearguard, and the manager is thought to have defenders in his sights as he looks to further strengthen his squad this summer.
Svensson, 23, had been the captain of IFK Gothenburg before moving to Scotland.
He made 28 appearances for Rangers and has reportedly signed a three-year deal at his new club. French top flight newcomers Caen, while confirming the move, did not confirm contractual details.
The arrival of Scotland B defender Kirk Broadfoot from St Mirren was an indication that Svensson's time at Ibrox was almost up.
Broadfoot, 22, has joined this summer to add to the competition for places in the Rangers side, and the former St Mirren captain is looking forward to being involved in a selection battle.
Broadfoot told Rangers World: 'I think it's only good for the squad and good for the dressing room.
'If you're guaranteed a place every week you might slack so I think it's good for the team and Rangers in general.
'Hopefully I can get on the pitch and play and do myself justice.
'The likes of David Weir and Ugo Ehiogu have played in the Premiership and at international level, so I think I can only learn by watching them day-in, day-out.'
Meanwhile, Rangers have made DaMarcus Beasley their fifth summer signing after confirming his arrival from PSV Eindhoven.
The United States international was at Murray Park this afternoon to put the finishing touches to his transfer, and he has signed a three-year contract.
Beasley's move, which is subject to the likely formality of a work permit being granted, had been held up while the United States took part in the Gold Cup, which they won with victory over Mexico in Sunday's final.
The 25-year-old had an injury-interrupted loan spell at Manchester City last season, where his performances did not do justice to his reputation.
But the winger, who has more than 60 caps for his country, has delighted Rangers boss Walter Smith with his eagerness to move to Scotland.
He played two full campaigns with PSV before spending a year in England, however the Dutch giants did not expect Beasley to feature prominently in their team next season.
The former Chicago Fire player cost PSV approximately £1.5million in 2004, and played for the United States at the World Cup in 2002 and 2006.
While the Beasley deal awaited completion, Rangers announced they have signed former Kilmarnock goalkeeper Graeme Smith to act as cover for Allan McGregor.
Smith, 24, turned down new terms at Rugby Park to become a free agent this summer, and Rangers revealed he has signed a three-year contract with them.
Smith came through the ranks at Kilmarnock and, after previous spells on loan at Queen's Park and Stenhousemuir, began to establish himself in the first team at Rugby Park last season.

Chatham-Kent police are searching for two disguised suspects involved in a string of overnight armed robberies.
Police hunt two suspects wanted for armed robbery spree in Chatham
Chatham-Kent police are searching for two suspects who wore disguises during a string of armed robberies early Saturday.
The OPP canine unit and OPP Tactics and Rescue Unit assisted in a search of the Moraviantown area, where the suspects were last seen fleeing on foot.
Police said the suspects are believed to be responsible for three armed robberies.
At 3:16 a.m., police said the armed suspects entered a Thamesville Mac's Milk at 25 Victoria St. demanding cash.
The pair struck again nearly 90 minutes later, robbing a Chatham Shell gas station at 191 Keil Dr. at 4:36 a.m.
Police said witnesses observed a dark pickup truck leaving the area.
The last incident took place at a Ridgetown Mac's Milk at 5:10 a.m. The suspects demanded cash and cigarettes from the clerk at 10 Erie St. before fleeing the scene.
Shortly after the third robbery, police located and followed what they believed was the suspects' vehicle into Moraviantown, where two men were last seen fleeing on foot.
Police are asking anyone with information to call 519-436-6600.

Hello - thanks for all your tips and comments - am pleased to say MrBloomsCherry wins the £150 supermarket voucher! Well done.
i have 2 ds's 5 and 2 so eating together up the table is important for them learning table manners. and for us and dp to catch up. Every evening meal is all of us and mornings is just myself and ds's and 7mo dd.
tips for getting them to stay at the table is to ask them to set it, with their own cutlery, plate and cups. and they have to have shown an effort or no dessert.
In general we all eat together and we all eat the same thing.
It has taken a lot of restraint to accept that my children are hard to feed. The rule in our house is you don't have to eat it but it stays on your plate and there is nothing else. Sometimes they go hungry, it's their choice.
When we have time (which is usually only at weekends) the children help prepare the meal. They will at least try something new if they've helped cook it.
On evenings when we will be eating at different times I will try and do something in the slow cooker.
I'm not sure mealtimes are fun. It's not a party, just part of our family routine where we all get together and have some time to talk.
At the moment, I'm on mat leave and DH works at home so we all eat together. Since we've been doing this, I've noticed a huge improvement in DD's eating. she loves the fact that we all eat the same thing and also that we use the same crockery - we give her a side plate that matches our plates (she's 3 and a half). I tend to plan meals for the week, which involves eating the sane thing a couple of nights in a row so I don't have to cook every day. I also love my slow cooker as I can get a meal underway in the morning, which makes for less effort at the end of the day.
We eat together probably 4-5 nights out of 7. When it's an organized week, we're managing because we've done something like make-ahead chicken or Crock Pot stew. On a disorganized week, we're managing because DSD (7) goes straight to bed after her tea. Sometimes, we'll make something quick for DSD to get her started and join her once our own tea is done. Sometimes, we settle for a single-item meal (soup, a bowl of spaghetti with chunky sauce, etc).There's more time to do a relaxed and varied roast dinner spread on the weekends.
I like eating together because it gives me and DH a chance to stop focusing on ourselves and focus on DSD for awhile. I think it gives DSD the same chance, TBH. She listens to me and DH talk and will pipe in with her own questions or opinion.
This all goes a lot more smoothly and according to plan when we leave the TV off.
We eat late - at about 8pm but all eat as a family. DD1 is almost 2 and has a long nap after lunch and a snack at about 4. LO will start weaning soon but at the moment She always sits near the table and watches us or has milk at the same time.
DD1 'helps' prepare, in that I lift her up and show her each stage of food preparation and let her handle ingredients and smell them etc. If I am mixing things together she can mix too, or turn the dial on the food processor etc. If I am doing something messy like making burgers or fish cakes she gets stuck in too.
I think it is important to eat as a family at table and we have done so since DD1 was weaned. I don't see mealtimes as fun particularly, but DD1 really enjoys participating in the preparation, and it helps keep her occupied until her dad comes home which is the highlight of her day. In the long term there will be a no screen rule at table but at the moment the only rule is that teddy bears can sit and watch but we don't play with them while we are eating
We eat together about 3 or 4 nights out of 7. On the days when we aren't eating all together, one or both adults will sit with the children (we have 2 children aged 5 and nearly 2) while they eat.
I think it's important to all eat together as a family when you can. As the children get older, then I'm hoping they'll be able to stay up a bit later and we can eat together more often - at the moment, they both need quite an early bedtime, but I find it difficult myself to want to eat at that time - and it's even worse for DH to get straight in from work to a meal on the table, with no time to relax and unwind. So we compromise to do it half the time.
I don't try to make mealtimes "fun". I hope they are enjoyable due to nice food(!) and a chance for a bit of conversation. DD1 likes to have a story read during dinner, we do that occasionally if it is just the children eating.
I can't wait for the nice weather when we can all eat outside - that always makes mealtimes "fun!"
We always eat together, and encourage the children to help with all aspects of cooking and eating, from menu planning, choosing ingredients, chopping and preparing, cooking, to serving and eating! As a result of that and baby led weaning, both are brilliant eaters, thankfully!
I think its really important otherwise wed never all be together as a family as my elder daughter likes to stalk of to her room. Its also a good chance to talk to my husband and first son about their day. I try to make food that looks funny, shaped like a face or so so my son will eat it, also I use desert as a big encouragement,
We try to eat together as often as we can but it's a struggle on the three days I work - I get home at 5.30 and the boys need to eat by 6 to be in bed for 7ish (they're 1 and 3).
Those days, they often eat by themselves (though I always try to sit down with them and chat) and DH and I eat later.
We eat together the days I don't work and at weekends (unless DH and I fancy takeaway or something unhealthy on a Friday night!).
My top tip, which I've only been doing myself for a few weeks, is to utilise a slow cooker. Then I can put something in before I go to work, or when I have a quiet half hour during the day, and it'll be ready when we get in from work, making getting dinner ready to eat together a lot less hassle when everyone's just getting home and there's bathtime to do etc etc etc!
It's only me and DS so we always eat together, and when he has friends round I take it for granted that they'll sit at the table.
If there is something particular that DS wants to watch on TV, I'll try to arrange the meal around that within reason, otherwise he will wolf it down to get back to the football. When we have grown-up friends, I'll often let the youngster(s) go to play for a while and come back later for pudding, as the adults will just be talking for ages which he would sometimes find boring.
I notice at friends houses with several children, it is much harder to eat together, as they have to co-ordinate with different activities.
We all sit together as a family to eat our evening meal. We have no distraction of television or technology and use it as a time to catch up with each other and hear each others news. One evening a week my children (7 and 10) choose a meal that they want to cook, write down the ingredients that they need to buy and then go with me to the supermarket to buy them. One of them makes the main meal and the other makes dessert and then the following week they swap round. I believe that sitting and eating our meals together has made them 'very good eaters' as they have seen my husband and I eating a variety of meals and setting a good example. Obviously like most households our lives are hectic with after school clubs etc. but we try to spend whatever time we have together at the table together.
We eat dinner together nearly every night. We normally eat 5 mins after dh comes in, so it gives us a chance to find out about each others days, talking is important to us. Its stress free, none of us have to finish our meals if we have had enough. We usually try and have fun with dd after dinner
We have DCs aged 7, 5, 3 and a 7 month old baby. We all eat together at 6pm, and always have done. It means a substantial late afternoon snack to keep them going. For me the most practical tip is to plan in advance and if possible cook in advance too. I have big batches of stuff in the freezer, or use the oven timer whilst toing and froing to after school activities.
The biggest challenge is finding meals that all will eat (at least some of), but that DH and I don't find too boring . I miss stir frys and curries .
We have a toddler. We eat together every night, apart from the rare occasions DH is late home, in which case, DS and I eat earlier. DS will still be awake when DH gets home, and sometimes share his meal for a second serving.
I can't imagine us ever wanting to eat at a different time to our DC. It's lovely eating together. I think it is a nice family thing to do, so start as we mean to go on. We always all have the same food for dinner, DS ate whatever we had right from the off.
We don't always eat at the table, we think it's nice to sit on the floor sometimes, or on the sofa, and feel relaxed and comfortable. I don't think this is a bad thing.
DS always helps make dinner too.
We eat dinner together most nights as I think it's important to eat together as a family. It gives us time to chat about our day and enjoy our food. We generally eat the same foods unless it's something the kids don't like e.g. a very spicy dish.
We always ate together as a family in the evening when I was a child and it's something I've carried on with my own children. I don't think the age of kids makes much of a difference, though babies and toddlers find it more difficult to sit still for any length of time!
We all eat breakfast together on work days, and one parent has breakfast with the kids at the weekend (the other has the lie-in!).
Always have dinner with the kids at the weekend.
Sometimes we just run out of time in the week. On a Mon and Tues, I try really hard to do a non bread based meal, as oldest gets sandwiches. The other days he gets a cooked lunch at Nursery, so if i have to work late, they have a easy meal (scrambled eggs, beans etc), and we eat later.
Not sure how I'm going to help Birdseye tho - think the only things we have of theirs is petti pois!
We always eat together as a family (except breakfast as DH leaves earlier). I think it's important to sit and spend time calmly all together as the week is so hectic it's nice to chat and catch up on each other's days. DC is only 2 though so conversation is a bit limited, but I think it's a good template to give him as he grows up.
I wouldn't say we make teatime fun as such but I try to get DC involved in laying the table so he can see there's more to it than just turning up and sitting down. It's also an opportunity to teach DC our family culture/manners as DH and I both work FT (although our CM is pretty hot on proper behaviour already).
We all eat together at the dining table for pretty much every meal. Me, DH and 4 DC. I'm a SAHM so I get to hear all the chat throughout the day but the DC take it in turns to update Daddy on what's happened in their day. Our evening meal is pretty much always cooked from scratch and the kids get involved in the shopping for and preparing the meal. We grow veg sometimes too and the kids love it. I have a 'one meal for everyone' rule whereby I promise not to give them yukky dinners but I will only ever cook one meal which we will all eat. Sometimes if I feel it's getting a bit samey, we have a buffet-style dinner which the kids love. I use platters and include some treats that would not normally be given at dinner time.
I seem to be in the minority here! We rarely have "family teatime" at home, for the following reasons:
1. DH doesn't get home til 6.30ish and the kids (3 and 6) are on their way to bed by then.
2. If I ate at 5 with the kids I would need another meal before bedtime and soon be the size of a house.
3. Finding things we all like is complicated by the fact that DH and I are both veggie, whereas DS1 is allergic to nuts, egg, sesame and pulses.
I have berated myself about this in the past but come to the conclusion that there are bigger things to worry about in life. The boys always have meals at the dinner table and I'll either float about doing chores or sit and have a cup of tea with them, in either case we are chatting about their day or other random things. We eat lunch in restaurants reasonably often (and dinner on holiday when the kids stay up later) and they are generally impeccably behaved.
I have a DD age 5 and a DD age 1, I think it's very important to sit at the table together as a family as much as possible, it's usually just me and the girls due to OHs working hours. It helps teach them how to eat when they are young and helps to teach and I force table manners too which I think is very important. We all eat the same meal usually, the only time I cook them something different to us is if we are having something really spicy for example. It is also a great opportunity for us all to communicate and talk about our day together.
I have two dd's aged 4 and 1 and my dh doesnt get home until 8pm. Once dd2 was weaned i used to make dh and i dinner at 8 and plate up a meal for the dd's to eat the following day. It was less stressful as i merely warmed their meal. But dd1is extremely picky and left to her own devices sat at the table meant she ate hardly anything and dd2 saw no good behaviours.
Now i make a family meal for me and the girls and plate dh his up. The change in eating has been massive. Dd1 is getting more adventurous with food. Dd2 tries to copy her with cutlery etc. we talk about our days and its a far nicer affair. At weekends we make sure we all eat together at every meal including dh. Dd1 prefers it if we have a "help yourself" tea so weekends we have a roast decanted into terrines or something that requires construction like chilli/nachos/rice. We have a much more enjoyable time if we are all helping ourselves around the table chatting.
We always try and eat together and think its really important. My husband often comes in from work eats with us then will do more work so that he can be their! The evenings my husband isn't home the children don't eat as well, and they miss the catching up time we have all together.
We eat just after 5 usually and we sometimes have an extra snack in the evening to make up for it being so early but we have really seen the benefits of eating together.
it's harder as your children get older. I have 2 teens and they are always out doing different things, as are DH and I, now we are getting our 'own' lives back a bit! And the boys are less family orientated, and craving independence.
We always strive for at east two nights a week which we do manage to eat evening meal together, and these are 'sacred' though other people are welcome to join us. We also encourage the boys to make a youtube /spotify playlist to provide music for the meal. it's not always our taste, but it encourages converstion and bonding and the boys love showing off 'their' music to us oldies.
I think it is really important for families to eat together because it is a good opportunity to talk and listen to each other and hear about each other's day. We have a 3 yr old and a 4yr old who can be picky eaters but we take the approach that if they don't eat their dinner, there isn't anything else. We all eat the same, I don't think it's a good idea to be cooking different meals. I also hope that in time they will be more accepting of all meals! Both children sit nicely at the table, there can be a bit of playing around, but generally they are good. I think that's because we have always sat down together for mealtimes.

Scaling Silicon Valley
- The world's population will be one-day wholly integrated into the internet as buyers, sellers, passive consumers, content-creators, etc. Think about 100% reach and its political, social consequences.
- Think big, think huge, now is the right time for such grandiose creativity.
- Whatever you can imagine could be technologically as close as a use-case demo and a few years away from investment, production, wide-spread adoption, and eventually being something standard.
- Every city that doesn't have a tech-center, in the future, will. So make sure you're aware of this incoming change wherever you are. Hint: You can start it today.
We're in the social network future
So, its time to reevaluate the future, again. As things are cooling down in the aftermath of what we can describe as the social networking future, its becoming apparent that it wasn't an "ALL-RIGHT WE'RE DONE HERE" end to all our problems or the last thing we would need from the internet. This time around we're snapping out of such fallacies while still enjoying an industry-wide boom. In fact, the explosion of social networking has added millions of service providers to the effort of making technology-based solutions more commonplace, even expected. This is good news.
Most importantly the poster-children companies of today have proven that IT businesses can be relatively easy to scale globally. I'm thinking Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Flickr, Instagram, etc. Just because we read about the technical difficulties in detail doesn't mean they haven't scaled effectively.
100% internet coverage possible
Considering that by March 2011 only 2,095 million of the 6,930 million humans in the world were internet users (30% of the total are connected), we have much growth to expect in the next 25 to 50 years. The percentage of users that grow up using internet-enabled devices (simple, smart, laptop, tablet, desktop, integrated, console) from infancy that use them life-long will come close to 100%, as it is in Sweden today amongst young demographics.
We discount war zones (still? in 2050? I'm afraid so) and weird dictatorships (lookin' at you, NK) here. I'm hoping accessibility will have been addressed substantially better than today so infants, the elderly, and people with disabilities will all be able to use these devices much better than today.
As a species, we will continue trying to develop impoverished, problematic areas and add them to the global marketplace . These new, underdeveloped markets will be served by hoards of IT firms, all low-cost and high potential return by nature.
An entity that connects every human being and every electronic device on the planet, will be more than half a century old in 2050. The world will have changed with the internet, as more and more people created an infinite number of solutions upon it. Companies from different countries, continents will come together to pressure international legislation, and borders will have become even less visible. Global e-Commerce will probably have eradicated most customs and licensing issues, or found a way around it by this time. The capabilities of hardware, software and networks will have increased exponentially. Connectivity will [should] probably be added as a human right to the US constitution.
(Unicorns will hand out candy at every traffic light.)
Why not? Grandiose creativity
At that point, what if Siri and translate.google.com combined will mean Babel Fish functionality is just one breakthrough in biotech wireless ear pieces?
If that dream somehow makes more sense today than in 1950 or 1850…
What if such products are now half a century and $49.99 plus shipping & handling costs away?
Is that so unthinkable? Is it really fiction any more?
Think about it: if you saw the now yuck-old iPhone 3GS in 1994, would you believe it could cost you $99?
The first Palm-Pilot hit the market in 1996.
Scaling Silicon Valley
So the fact is, even the most outlandish fiction today might be ubiquitous and tangible tomorrow. Given technology's power to exponentially speed up our evolution by helping us to train and (in the fraction of a lifetime) rewire our brains with computers, we can expect fundamental changes in what we today perceive as modern life through technology.
So there's no point in discussing where the next Silicon Valley is. Technological breakthroughs of all sorts are coming to your town in the next 50 years. The discussion should be around figuring out how to export those core values globally (scale!) and make sure thousands of cities and millions of IT workers in the future will have a part of Silicon Valley in them.
What do you think are Silicon Valley's core values?
Which ones do you think could be exported?
TL;DR: its much easier to imagine a future where the online population is limited by the population on planet Earth thanks to Facebook and et al, heads up for the next 50 years, yo. tech is going to be everywhere and silicon valley should be scaled globally to help that growth.

Colorado House Bill 11-1223 and the push back against the Earth Justice Agenda!
What Agenda? Oh yes there is a huge push to indoctrinate our society with the Global Warming save Mother Earth campaign. It was subtle until we heard Al Gore screaming we will die in 10 years if we didn't do something. Then Governor Ritter gets elected and Colorado gets Green, Progressive, and highly regulated! Now Ted Turner has spoken up and is carrying the load for Al Gore.
One of the theories when considering regulations are green house gases like Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC). CO2 and VOC's actually come from Mother Earth. VetTheGov is not here to debate science but just wants to bring the fact that Mother Earth is the largest producer of pollution on the entire planet. How? Volcano's, Forest Fires, and Wind Storms all place enormous amounts of CO2, VOC's, Mercury, Benzene, and Particulate into the atmosphere but you won't hear that in the mainstream media. All you need are a bunch of tornados, large hurricanes, flooding, Tsunamis, or earthquakes and the media along with the Mother Earth Justice folks take over and they will certainly link it all back to the evil United States that allows all this pollution. VetTheGov loves this link that dispels Global Warming as a hoax. One more of interest called I Love CO2!
In Grand Junction we had a very thriving Oil & Gas economy until Gov. Ritter was elected and completely changed the Oil & Gas Conservation Committee (COGCC) by adding TreeHuggers to the committee with absolutely no idea of how to drill any kind of well. Guess what happened next? Colorado went from number one in the world for drilling natural gas to last. Grand Junction also sustained huge unemployment numbers and actually led the nation at certain points. Now Colorado is listed as an unfriendly state for Oil & Gas investment going from first in the world to 81st practically overnight.
"Sudden changes in royalties or environmental regulations have resulted in Colorado and Alaska losing favor within the petroleum industry, although regulators in both states have since taken steps to improve the situation. Colorado is improving its reputation among industry executives, but the state still has a long way to go. In 2007, it was ranked No. 1 in the world, but environmental regulations introduced since then continue to discourage investors," from Fraser Institute Survey.
During committee hearings, Earth Justice, Sierra Club, and many other environmental groups converged into the small room to discourage the republican committee members on Representative Ray Scott's HB11-1223 since most democrats typically vote and want more regulation. So how do you push your agenda? Scare tactics and legal challenges and they have perfected these without much resistance. These groups must demonize for-profit companies and vilify their drilling and operation procedures. Then the horrible word Global Warming gets mentioned and everybody believes a headline so here we are with NO jobs and NO money.
The VOC challenge weakened since the temperatures cooled and now the enviro's went after hydraulic fracturing fluids and even have a brand new website to educate and scare the masses. Just look here at all the BAD chemicals used in fracing? Regarding the COGCC, VetTheGov must note in their new regulation package, one of the main themes was regulating VOC's which added 30-40% additional drilling cost to Oil & Gas companies. The media and government will have you believe it was related to low natural gas prices.
HB11-1223 legislates the COGCC back to the original pre-Ritter days and removes the Treehuggers and adds professional educated and informed individuals that know the industry, procedures, and current technical information of drilling operations. Here is a list of the current COGCC members and their Bio's. VetTheGov will give a brief overview if they believe in Global Warming or not.
Richard D. Alward ecologist believes and teaches Global Warming. Shouldn't he have placed this on his conflict of interest paperwork?
Mark Cutright PE has several Oil & Gas ties as disclosed here along with a 27+ year career in the industry. No information found regarding stance on Global Warming.
Tom Compton Rancher and Biologist. Served on 116 panel Colorado Climate Project regarding climate change aka Global Warming. See his disclosure here. No mention in disclosure of him being involved with the Climate Project!
Michael Dowling is current chair of Colorado Land Trust. Here is Michael's disclosure listed is his role with Environmental Defense Fund that promotes Global Warming Agenda and his work with the Colorado Climate Project.
Joshua Epel recently appointed by Gov. Hickenlooper to Colorado Public Utility Commission most noted work on Global Warming was in New Mexico on their Climate Change advisory board.
Mike King currently Executive Director of Colorado Department of Natural Resources. No disclosure found on global warming stance but position and experience leans green.
Dr. Chris Urbina currently serving as Colorado's Director of Public Health & Environment. Here is an interesting article in a recent exchange of Dr. Urbina's stance on Global Warming.
DeAnn Craig PE based on credentials has the most Oil & Gas experience on the board. Here is her perspective on the Kyoto Protocol and Global Warming scare tactics.
You can now clearly see the agenda unfold before your very eyes and why Representative Ray Scott's bill is needed in order to bring out of control government under reign by removing Treehuggers and government rubber stamp votes and adding back in experienced industry professionals. Colorado needs Common Sense back into law making and regulatory oversight which ultimately will lead Colorado back into the top spot for Oil & Gas investment and a much needed boost in job creation.

I keep stuff stored in my pickup. I have a bag that I carry everywhere inside my work vehicle that contains things I feel are important and useful. It is a tool bag full of misc. useful junk. I keep a power converter in my vehicle also.
I always have some tools, SAK, first aid kit, cell phone stuff, GPS, proper ID's for business, business cards, insurance info, compass, maps, firearm, etc ... quite a lot of stuff when you really look at it item by item. My latest thing is a battery operated reciprocating saw. I also have various measuring devices (tapes, electronic laser and so forth).
I used to carry my laptop, but now since I finally got a smartphone, I leave that at home unless I know I am going to need it. This was mostly for emails.
I carry a camera bag if I am out taking pictures or place everything into a day pack for woods carry and use. I don't carry a man purse. But when I spent time in another country, I did have a man purse which was useful to hold some necessary things.
Does the bucket I keep in my pickup for trash count?

You are all noobs.
DX learn english before posting, you make no sense with your points fool!
PS3 costs the mosts because it hasn't been out as long and because it is more powerful than the 360 and Wii.
Give it to the end of this generation the PS3's games will have better graphics than the 360 and Wii because the processors, video card are more higher specced and because it is blue-ray and it runs far more types of discs than the other two. Your all arguing that HD is better than blue-ray, yes for now it is because blue-ray is new!!! EVERY NEW TECHNOLOGY FAILS AT FIRST! The Wii failed on launch, then the 360 failed on launch -- sooo many crashed and now the PS3 is crashing, my PS3 has crashed and Sony had to replace it, its the same for everything!! YOU IDIOTS.
And your all saying that the 360 is better because it has more games, because it has been out longer! And not all games are brilliant, you've got exclusive games like Halo 3 (though in my opinion from the last 2 is crap, Halo and Halo 2 were both extremely boring - Halo is only good for online but World of Warcaft owns it, though Halo 3 might good I dunno, I cba playing it) and Gears of War. We have Ratchet & Clank, Metal Gear Sold 4 and soon to be FINAL FANTASY XIII, its all about what types of games you prefer! For a nice variety of games you buy a PS3, for games to play with friends at a party buy a Wii, for online play and FPS games you buy an Xbox 360.
Also people say that the PS3's motion sensor is a sleasy copy of the Wii's, I have a PS3 and my brother-in-law has a Wii so I've used both loads, they both feel completly different, the PS3's motion sensor is nothing like the Wii's. The Wii is used entirely by motion sensor (well mostly) and is designed for all types of games where as PS3 uses it here and there and it is mostly designed for drivingi.e. to reload in GTA4 you lift the controller up.
Or in Folklore you use the motion sensor to capture mobs, or use the Sixaxis angles to capture bosses in different ways which makes the experience complelty different to games for the Wii.
All in all I think all three consoles are awesome, neither is better than the other.
Why PS2 Succeeded, and Why PS3 Will Fail

The Geo. B. Post & Sons Collection
This collection comprises the working reference library of the George B. Post architectural firm, founded in 1860 by one of the pioneering members of the American Institute of Architects. The firm's landmark achievements include New York City's Equitable Building (the first office building to employ an elevator); the Mills Building (the city's first electricity generating plant); and the Manufacturers and Liberal Arts Building constructed for the World's Columbian Exhibition in Chicago, 1893 (pictured on the postcard above). The collection includes numerous oversized and lavishly illustrated volumes of the most celebrated architects and architectural works of western civilization. Together, these volumes serve as an excellent example of the working library of an architectural firm in the early twentieth century.

AN actor originally from Blaenavon is set to return to Wales this week as he plays one of the leads in the first UK tour of smash theatre hit War Horse.
Matt Addis, 37, was born and brought up in Blaenavon, and his parents and grandmother still live in the town. He plays the part of Captain James Nicholls, who rides Joey, the titular horse, into battle during World War One.
This is the first UK tour of the National Theatre's acclaimed production of War Horse, based on the novel by Michael Morpurgo, and it will be at the Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff, from June 18 to July 19.
Mr Addis trained at the University of Manchester and Mountview. His work in theatre includes Not About Heroes, The Railway Children, The Blue Room, Dumb Show and Keep Smiling Through at Theatre by the Lake, among many others.
He said: "It's lovely to be back at home in Wales. i was a member of the Gwent Young People's Theatre from around 1990, and would visit Abergavenny every Tuesday and Saturday, and I used to spend some time in the pubs.
"I was also a member of the Ad Hoc Theatre group, based in Newport, and my family would regularly come down to watch me perform."
He attended St Peter's Primary school in Blaenavon, before heading to Abersychan Comprehensive and Pontypool college.
After university he applied for RADA and got down to the final few, but didn't get in, shelving his acting plans for a few years.
He travelled to Australia, and had a number of jobs including working for Coca-Cola and a dot com company in Bath before deciding to give acting another shot.
"I was 27 at the time and decided I would give myself 10 years to try and make a living out of it," he said. " I knew if I didn't do it then I never would. So I enrolled at Mountview in London and I haven't looked back really. I have been very lucky in terms of jobs, and I'm very happy working at the National Theatre."
"My family are coming to see me – they are very supportive. For parents who are not in the business, like mine, I think having a child going into acting can be quite daunting, but my parents have always supported my career.
"They often come along to watch me, and they will be bringing my gran to come and watch me in Cardiff – I think she really enjoys seeing me on the stage."
Seen by over 2.4 million people worldwide since its premiere at the National Theatre in 2007, War Horse is the powerful story of a young boy called Albert and his beloved horse, Joey, who has been requisitioned to fight for the English in World War I.

Wake Forest's Renaissance Centre will host a couple of weekday family shows in the next week.
Carolina Puppet Theatre will perform at 11 a.m., Thursday (May 22). Ms. Poly and Ms. Ester, along with puppet star Bartlet, will tell stories, sing songs and more. These are fun for kids 3 to 7.

Grieving military families: The GOP's collateral damage
Let's put a human face on this destructive shutdown. To fully appreciate the havoc being wreaked by the GOP's right-wing radicals, we need only look at how they're screwing with the emotions and pursestrings of grieving military families.
The big problem with ideologues is that they typically dwell in a bubble of their own contrivance, sealed off from the real world. But sooner rather than later, real people wind up getting hurt. And nothing is arguably more hurtful than this:
Five U.S. soldiers - four from the Army, one from the Marines - were killed in Afghanistan over the weekend. In the normal course of events, the Pentagon would've moved to minimize the financial pain suffered by the soldiers' home-front families. A death gratuity of $100,000 would've been wired to each household within 36 hours, to cover funeral costs and the travel costs of meeting the flag-draped coffin. The Army officially says the money is intended to "help the survivors in their readjustment and to aid them in meeting immediate expenses incurred." The money buttresses the families in the short run until their survivor benefits get sorted out.
But because the government is shuttered, these grieving families are getting zip. And the families of 12 other soldiers who have died since the Oct.1 closure - are getting zip.
Yes, this is the kind of thing that happens when zealots are allowed to run rampant.
And just imagine how Republican heads would detonate if the situation were reversed. If Democrats had ever ginned up a shutdown, and had treated grieving military families as collateral damage, the GOP talking point would be resonating through the conservative media echo chamber: "Unpatriotic liberals are against the troops."
Of course, some Republicans say they are shocked, shocked, that the death gratuities have been withheld. Senator Lindsey Graham, whose South Carolina is heavily populated by military families, said yesterday, "Your government has let you down in a time of need. There's no excuse for this." John McCain said yesterday on the Senate floor, "Shouldn't we be embarrassed? Ashamed? What do the American people think when they see that the death benefit for those who served and sacrificed (isn't being paid)? I'm ashamed. I'm embarrassed. All of us should be."
Oh please. What did the Republicans think would happen if they crashed the government? That the shutdown would just be rhetorical fodder for right-wing fundraisers?
How ironic that the support-the-troops party would embarrass itself this way. In the words of Loren Thompson, who writes about national security for Forbes magazine, what we're witnessing "is ideological fervor fed at the expense of America's warfighters."
Hoisting a fig leaf to cover their shame, congressional Republicans now claim that they protected the families last week when they passed an emergency measure - the Pay Our Military Act - exempting our warfighters from the shutdown. Republicans have somehow convinced themselves that their law ensured the uninterrupted payment of death gratuities - even though the law does no such thing. It only appropriates "such sums as are necessary to provide pay and allowances to members of the Armed Forces," as well as sums to civilians and contractors who are vital to the soldiers' missions.
There isn't a word in that law about the families, or about the death gratuities. Which is why the Pentagon is saying that it lacks "the legal authority to make death gratuity payments at this time."
Which brings us to GOP fig leaf #2. Some Republicans insist that their "intent" was to cover the death payments, and they insist that the Pentagon is reading the law wrong. In a letter to Defense secretary Chuck Hagel, one GOP congressman said, "The intent of Congress was to permit...all payment and allowances to service members." But here's my favorite line: "The department's decision to not make these payments is a matter of choice."
In other words - according to the zealot mentality - it's all Chuck Hagel's fault because Hagel (who was twice wounded as a soldier) has deliberately chosen to hurt the grieving families. Yeah whatever. But no matter how hard Republicans try to shift the blame, they know they've screwed up - as evidenced by the fact that they're currently working on new language (bipartisan language!) to pay the gratuities. As South Carolina congressman Mark Sanford said yesterday, "It's going to be fixed."
And not a moment too soon. Especially on this issue, the destructionist GOP has shamed itself enough.

Bérénice Bejo and director hubby Michel Hazanavicius may have both received Academy Award nominations for their work in The Artist, but when it comes to celebrating the honors, the couple will likely keep things low-key, thanks to their 3 1/2-year-old son, Lucien, who doesn't quite understand what all the fuss is about.
"He doesn't understand what Mommy and Daddy do," Bejo tells People. "For him, Michel's work is saying, 'Action!'
One time, he came to set [while I was filming a scene] and thought my job was running. He said to me, 'Mommy's work is running.' We haven't talked to him about the truth yet."
That's not to say that there won't be any celebrating. Bérénice says that she and her husband will at least toast to one another accomplishments before this "crazy" day is over.
"We'll definitely open a very good bottle of wine – my son will have apple juice – and everybody is going to be happy," shares the actress. "Then we wake up at 4 a.m. to give my daughter her bottle."
Bejo and Hazanavicius welcomed baby Gloria in September of 2011.
For the Hollywood couple, the matching Oscar nods aren't likely to change many things, as they plan to continue to live the somewhat normal lives they've been enjoying for years now.
"We go buy diapers and milk. Those things keep us really connected to reality," says Bejo, who adds, "Then at the same time, critics from all around the world want to talk to us. It's unreal!"

Michelle Chen and Alex Lam, who both graduated from the University of Southern California, are said to be dating for the past five months. Rumours began when a picture of Michelle and Alex looking very chummy at her birthday party on May 31 was revealed.
Sources said they started seeing each other after the Taiwanese actress-singer made frequent trips to Hong Kong for work in recent years. Alex, son of veteran Canto-pop star George Lam, was also seen attending Michelle's mini concert in his hometown.
When asked to confirm the speculations, the "people's goddess" laughed it off and brushed them off as "very comedic" rumours.
Responding via her manager, Michelle said, "According to this kind of logic, then I should be married for five months and have five kids."
Alex's rumoured girlfriend Hong Kong-based Japanese model Linah Matsuoka also affirmed that he is "definitely not dating" the You're The Apple of My Eye star. "I know her too and I am very certain that they are just really good friends," she said.

Information and Broadcasting Ministry seeks exam for Journos
By Express News Service | Published: 20th August 2013 10:59 AM |
Last Updated: 20th August 2013 10:59 AM | A+A A- |
Journalists, like lawyers, could too have to obtain license to practise their profession, if the idea mooted by Information and Broadcasting Minister Manish Tewari was to ever take shape.
Speaking at a function, the minister said, "I think a good starting point would be that rather than possibly prescribing a curricula which is then standardised across institutions, possibly the media industry could think about at least having a common exam."
"Like you have a bar exam, you have a medical exam or exams which are conducted by other professional bodies, which then issue a license, which enables you to pursue your profession," Tewari said.
The minister's view came at a time when even the Press Council of India Chairman Markanday Katju had suggested minimum qualification to become a journalist.
Katju's idea had come under intense debate, as many media professionals felt no minimum qualification can be prescribed.
Regarding the issue of standards within media education, the I&B Minister said, "the Indian Institute of Mass Communication has been advised to initiate a course on the business of media, preferably a Masters Degree in the business of the Media. This programme could prepare young professionals to address the business imperatives in the media sectors more cohesively."
Tewari spoke in favour of standardised quality of media education to curb 'fly-by-night' operators. Tewari also spoke about a 'fundamental ambiguity' regarding classification of media as to whether it a business under article 19(1)(g)(Freedom to Practice Any Profession) of the Constitution or any other activity which is entitled to the protection of article 19(1)(a)(Freedom of Speech and Expression). A layoff taking place in a news channel, last week, led him to conclude 'media is a business

Well-known Australian devotees of taxpayer-funded Greenpeace have signed a full page advertisement in The Australian Financial Review of May 1 to urge Australians to stop any expansion of coal exports out of Australia. No thought is given to those overseas who will benefit from affordable electricity and steel.
As well as trying to stop more exports of coal, lobbyists such as Greenpeace are ensuring higher electricity prices in Australia, whereas in Germany electricity prices are falling. Why are they falling? Because Germany is using more coal, including the dreaded lignite.
The Australian Climate Commission joins with Greenpeace in wanting Australia to rid itself of coal use, especially lignite. With our compliant government and willing taxpayers, Australia is an easy target. Our Climate Commission and Greenpeace would not find such a welcome if they had the courage to increase their activities on the ground in Germany, China, Indonesia and India where coal use is rising.

Downtown Birmingham's The Bird & The Bread proves Happy Hour is a time for all ages with two distinct evenings that appeal to clientele from kiddies to adults. Owner Kristin Jonna has established B&B Family Nights from 5-7 p.m. on Mondays with a list of kiddie cocktails, that are of course alcohol free. The Bird & The Bread already serves happy hour specials every weekday from 3-6 p.m. but on Thursdays, Jonna has added a second round of specials from 9 p.m. to midnight. All of this comes just in time for visitors to enjoy the brand new summer menus, and an expanded opportunity to enjoy brunch. Brunch will extend from Sunday to Saturday and Sunday beginning July 26.
B&B FAMILY NIGHTS: From 5-7 p.m. bring the kids to enjoy the following kiddie cocktails for $3:
· Electric Lemonade: Blueberry Juice, lemonade and fresh blueberries.
· Monkey Business: Banana nectar, cherry syrup and soda water.
· The AOK Cocktail: Apricot and orange juices and lemon-lime soda.
ADULT HAPPY HOUR: Leave the little ones safely supervised and tucked in bed and enjoy a second round of half-off happy hour specials 9 p.m. to midnight Thursdays including:
· $5 wines by the glass or specialty cocktails, as well as the chance to Craft Your Own Spritz with Prosecco and lemon and a choice of strawberry, raspberry, blackberry, peach or pear liqueur.
· Half-off a rotating selection of craft beer. Options have included $2.50 for Birmingham's own Griffin Claw El Rojo or Victory Prima Pilsner or $3 for Right Brain CEO Stout or Blanche de Bruxelles Witbier.
· Half-off a rotating selection of shareworthy pizza, sliders and appetizers ranging from $8-$9.
NEW SUMMER MENU: Visit The Bird & The Bread anytime and try an item from the brand new summer lunch or dinner menu. Every item is crafted in-house with fresh ingredients - and they pair perfectly with beverages from the wine, beer or cocktail list as well. Owner Kristin Jonna put together some suggested pairings based around the new offerings.
You tried them at Happy Hour but returned to have them for lunch – the Salmon Sliders with caper aioli, arugula, red onion jam on brioche buns pair with Barone Fini Pinot Grigio. "The richer style, weight and creaminess go well with this dish," said Jonna. For those who love a club, the B&B Club offers a rotisserie chicken salad with duck bacon, tomato jam, spicy greens and tarragon aioli works with a red like Emilio Moro Finca Resalso Tempranillo. For a sweet bite, the Flourless Chocolate Ding Dong is a nod to the past made with almond crunch, fresh raspberries and crème anglaise that goes great with a Michigan craft beer like Right Brain's CEO Stout, rich with chocolate, coffee and caramel notes.
At dinner time the options abound. Begin with Summer Corn Soup of coconut milk, charred corn and basil salsa, and pair with a Seven Falls Chardonnay. The oak and roasted notes will enhance the dish. Try the Brisket and Brioche appetizer, beef brisket sliders with fontina cheese, tomato basil and au jus, with a BenMarco Malbec, its rich texture and dense black currant flavors that play with the tomato conserve in the dish. Meanwhile the Code Escabeche with red pepper salad, picked onions, white bean puree and green pepper romesco offers an opportunity to pair a Spanish dish with a Spanish wine, the Avancia Cuvee de O Godello, with a citrus quality and briny qualities of the sea that pair against the pickling flavors in the dish.
As of July 26, The Bird & The Bread serves brunch 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday as well as lunch from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday-Friday, and dinner from 5-10 p.m. Monday-Saturday and 5-9 p.m. Sunday. Limited menu items are available 10 p.m. to midnight Friday-Saturday.

Q. I take zolpidem for insomnia. It helps me fall asleep but not stay asleep, and it gives me a dry mouth.
My doctor suggested I try melatonin instead to prolong the time I stay asleep. Does that sound reasonable?
A. The studies on melatonin are mixed. A recent double-blind French study found no benefit (BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine, June 22, 2010). It appears to be more useful for jet lag (Current Treatment Options in Neurology, Sept., 2010).
We are sending you our Guide to Getting a Good Night's Sleep for more information on using melatonin, magnesium and light against insomnia, as well as details on drugs like zolpidem, Sonata and Rozerem.
The FDA recently approved an old drug, doxepin, in a new low-dose long-acting formulation to help people stay asleep. Initial reports are favorable (Expert Opinion on Pharmacotherapeutics, July 2009). You and your doctor may wish to discuss this option, brand-named Silenor, but be forewarned: the drug may be expensive.

I'm a beer lover, but I've never used beer in my cooking. Is it a good idea?
Beer adds a rich, earthy flavor to soups and stews that makes them taste like they've been simmering for hours. Beers with a sweet or nutty taste can add depth to desserts. And don't worry about getting drunk: Virtually all the alcohol evaporates during the cooking process.
While some recipes call specifically for beer, many recipes that call for wine can be prepared with a brew — they'll have a more malty, toasty flavor. Just like with wine, you should never cook with a beer that you wouldn't drink. If you don't like the flavor in a cup, chances are it won't appeal to you on a plate.
Different beers pair well with different foods, so it's important to learn the taste differences before you hit the kitchen. Beer can be divided into two main groups: ales and lagers. Ale, the original beer, is brewed in a way that results in fruity, earthy flavors. Lagers make use of more modern brewing systems to be lighter and drier. Each type of beer has a distinctly different flavor. Here is a breakdown of several common types:
. Wheat Beers: Wheat beers are pale, often unfiltered and have fruity, mellow, crisp-edged flavors, well-matched for salads and fish.
. Pale Ale and bitter: Bitter is always served on tap and turns into pale ale once bottled and filtered. Bitter has little carbonation and is usually served slightly colder than room temperature; its crispness cuts beautifully through rich, fatty meats like game.
. Porter: Porter tastes like a combination of stout and pale ale; it's less toasty than stout and less bitter than pale ale, and it picks up the flavors in stews especially well.
. Stout: Stout brings out the flavors in everything from shellfish to stews. Because of its distinct coffee and chocolate notes, it's also perfect for blending into rich desserts.
I like asparagus, but I am not sure how to prepare it for cooking.
Asparagus, even the thin variety, can have a woody, tough end. No matter how long you cook it, it may still be chewy.
But where to trim an asparagus stalk?
Hold the spear at each end and bend slightly. It will snap naturally and the non-tip end is the woody part. You can discard it or use it to make vegetable stock.
What yeast should I buy for baking bread?
There are many kinds of yeast, all of which work well for bread. Our recipes call primarily for active dry, as it is readily available and convenient to use. A brief rundown of the types:
. Active dry: You'll usually see this in small packages in the dairy section. It needs to hang out in warm water for a few minutes before use — this wakes the yeast up and gets it ready for your recipe. Check expiration dates, and keep your packets in a cool, dry spot.
. Rapid rise (sometimes called instant): This is a hardy strain of yeast, and it does not need to be hydrated before using. While it doesn't actually rise more rapidly than any other yeast, you get to skip the step of hydrating, making the process a couple of minutes faster. It is also more concentrated than active dry yeast, so you'll get a fuller rise in some recipes than with the same amount of active yeast. We use it in our challah and potato rolls.
. Fresh yeast: This is a favorite of hard-core bakers. As much as we love it, we don't recommend it for our recipes because it's hard to find and needs to be used up pretty quickly once you buy it. If you do have access to fresh yeast, use 0.6 ounces per packet of active dry in any given recipe.
. Sourdough: Sourdough comes from a starter, which is basically an active yeast culture. You can make it on your own (by combining organic flour, water and sugar, and allowing it to ferment) and keep it indefinitely. While it takes longer than yeast, it pays off in flavor.

NEW YORK (May. 15)
Tribute to the late Prof. Albert Einstein was paid here tonight at a huge memorial meeting held at Town Hall sponsored by the Jewish Agency American Jewish Committee American Jewish Congress. Bï¿??nai Bï¿??rah American Zionist Council. Jewish Labor Committee and other major Jewish organizations.
The meeting marked the end of the traditional 30-day period of mourning and was addressed by U.S. Supreme Count Justice Hugo L. Black Israel Ambassador A?be Eban Dr. Nahum Goldmann and Prof. Norbert Wiener of the Massachusetts institute of Technology.
Dr. Goldmann decanting the many hours he spent with Einstein in ? in the pre-Hints days descript the man who evolved the theory of relativity as almost foul-less the kind of person that religions and civilizations have always admonished man to be Einstein possessed Dr. Goldman declared the humility and phenomenal simplicity which is the true mark of genius and which is found only rarely in any generation.
ï¿??I once found him an his study in Berlin ï¿??Dr. Goldmann said ï¿??studying an American magazine which had offered a press of several thousand dollars to one who in four or six pages could explain the theory of the ????ty. It was at the some of the German inflation which followed the best World Wet, his salary as a professor was inadequate to meet his needs and he was in great financial difficult.

I have gone through many acne treatments, creams, antibiotics, facial regimens, prescription cleansers, ointments, organic solutions you name it. Although most of the motivation to start accutane was my mother forcing me to try it, so I did. I took it for eight months and let me tell you, I had the worst mood swings and upsets I have ever had in my life! The only up side is that it cleared my skin. The only scary part now is waiting if I become apart of the class action lawsuit for long term use of accutane. If your acne is absolutely terrible, then try it. But if it is manageable and it only comes in break outs, stay away.
