Proposed sale of Japanese land for Chinese consulate stokes anti-Chinese views
Tuesday, January 18, 2011; 10:31 PM
NAGOYA, JAPAN - The local government in Japan's fourth-largest city has some land it wants to sell. The buyer is China. And disdain for that buyer has prompted Kenichi Sugita, a 56-year-old prep school teacher, to stand in front of windy train stations, distributing petitions and encouraging citizens to thwart the latest Chinese incursion.
Sino-Japanese relations had turned sour in September when a Chinese fishing boat collided near disputed territory with two Japanese patrol vessels, prompting a vicious diplomatic argument. But experts now say that the government-level acrimony of September has spilled downward, leading to widespread public mistrust on both sides - particularly in Japan, where opinion toward China has hit its lowest point in decades, according to polls.
"This has lasting consequences," said Shi Yinhong, a professor at Beijing's School of International Studies. "For the future of China-Japan relations, there are special difficulties, because any measures to improve ties will encounter the hardware of public opinion. For those who want to improve relations, I think everybody has a pessimistic view."
Unmistakable shifts
The rift between China and Japan has already caused deep changes, with Tokyo drawing closer to Washington and revising its military strategy to deal with the "concern" of Beijing's increasingly modernized, emboldened military.
But an enduring shift in public opinion had been harder to measure - at least until Sugita, the teacher in Nagoya, started collecting signatures and delivering them, folder by folder, to the local finance bureau, protesting the sale of the land, which China hopes to use to build a new consulate. (Currently, its consulate is on rented land.) His efforts have prompted the government to put the sale on hold, the latest strain between two countries whose relationship has broad implications for East Asia's security outlook.
Although the finance bureau hasn't rejected the sale, it has no timetable for moving forward on the sale of the land, which stretches seven acres and is across the street from a castle built four centuries ago.
"It doesn't feel like the complaints have died down," said Osamu Hayashi of the finance bureau's asset-management department. "We do hear the complaints. They are still actively protesting."
Some analysts attribute the latest wave of anti-China sentiment in Japan to despair over the country's direction, with two decades of economic stagnation and revolving-door leadership unable to offer much help. In August, China overtook Japan as the world's second-largest economy. Once viewed as the model for Asia, Japan now finds itself in a state of torpor, watching China boom and roar.
"In China, people are making money, they're finding jobs. They have fewer reasons to worry," said Phil Deans, a Sino-Japanese expert at Temple University's campus in Tokyo. "But on the Japanese side, the anti-Chinese sentiment has spread from just the typical crazies to the disaffected youth. Graduates are not finding jobs, the country isn't growing, and in a period like that, you kind of want something to complain about."
Sugita considers himself a nationalist but not a right-winger. He gets excited about pro-Japanese issues. He knows his country's land, its history. He wears a pin that appeals for the rescue of Japanese abductees in North Korea. Every month, he drives 40 minutes to a temple that honors fallen Japanese soldiers because he believes it's proper to pay respects. Several years ago, he grew so curious about a disputed set of uninhabited, windswept islands - claimed by both Japan and China - that he tried to charter a tour to visit them. He was stopped en route by the Japan Coast Guard.
"No, I'm not a right-winger," Sugita said. "I just love Japan."
Sugita has now become the central character in the grass-roots effort to prevent a sale from the Tokai Local Finance Bureau to the Chinese Consulate General. The government had posted a notice of the sale in April, and it expected a quick transaction. China soon submitted a bid, explaining its financial plans and intended construction. Local government officials thought they would be able to all but finalize the sale by September, but on Sept. 7, near the exact islands Sugita tried to visit, a Chinese fishing boat rammed the patrol vessels, even as Japanese crewmen yelled, "Stop!" and, later, "It's coming at us!"

If you are in the market for a Gas Fireplace Insert, you have come to the right place. UFS Member Stores offer inexpensive Gas Fireplace Inserts, along with mid-range and high-end fireplace inserts. Expect expert installation to residents in towns across the U.S. and Canada.
A fireplace insert is a great option to turn your existing masonry fireplace into an efficient heating appliance. Gas is a common fuel choice for these inserts. A gas-powered unit will allow you to create instant flames and heat. Operate it manually, with a wall switch or with a multi-function remote control. Gas fireplace inserts are easy to use and can be fit into almost any existing wood burning fireplace. Contact one of our Member Stores near you to find a great value on Gas Fireplace Inserts.
Natural Gas or Propane
Gas fireplace inserts can burn either natural gas or LP gas. The first step is to check if you already have a natural gas line that can be used. If not, you will either have to use liquid propane or install a natural gas line. Liquid propane (LP) is a great option if your home is not already equipped with a natural gas line. The liquid propane will need to be stored in a tank outside your home.
Gas fireplace inserts should be professionally installed. Working with natural or LP gas is not advisable without proper training, equipment and experience. Extending gas lines, connecting the insert and making any technical adjustments to the equipment is best left to the pro's!
Venting Options
Gas inserts need to be vented to exhaust the byproducts of the fire into the outdoors. With a gas fireplace insert, the existing chimney of your fireplace can be used as a race-way or conduit for two venting tubes, one to bring in combustion air and the other to carry the exhaust gases to atmosphere.
Zone Heating
Discount gas fireplace inserts are highly efficient and work well for providing zone heating. If you have a cold room in your home, install a gas insert into that old wood burning fireplace. A gas insert is designed to heat a couple of rooms instead of the whole house. A gas fireplace insert can often provide adequate heat for the living areas of a house, keep the bedroom areas a bit cooler and help reduce winter heating bills.
Maintenance for gas fireplace inserts is very easy to stay on top of. Periodically, the glass door of these units will need to be cleaned and the embers of the fire can be freshened up to enhance the realism of the glow of the flames. Your UFS dealer will have special equipment to electronically inspect for gas leaks. And, remember it is always prudent to have a smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector located in a couple strategic places in your home.
Gas Log Sets
Many gas fireplace inserts will have optional gas log sets, rock or stone sets or other media choices to customize your appliance. Log sets are made using ceramic or ceramic fiber logs and are designed to look exactly like natural wood. Once placed over the gas burner, it will be difficult to tell your gas fireplace insert from a natural wood burning fire. Stones or colored glass can replace the traditional logs in many inserts. This will give your fireplace a contemporary look as unique and as individual as you are. You have to stop at your UFS shop and see the beautiful inserts available to update your old fireplace.
Gas fireplace inserts provide a simple way to convert an existing fireplace into an energy efficient heating unit.

Cute; nippy; cheap to run
Only really comfortable for short people on short journeys.
Modelled closely on the Hyundai Atoz - the mini people carrier that it replaced - the Amica is cheap, cheerful and nippy around town. By no means a powerhouse, it is efficient at its job, only sips the fuel and it doesn't have a bad equipment list either - especially on GSi versions. The Amica is very narrow, so bigger adults will feel cramped, but the tall body design does give plenty of headroom and there is easily enough room in the back for the kids.

I've been unemployed for over a year now. While it's not a fact that I like to flaunt to my friends or on social media, it has given me a realistic perspective in the area of finances. Watching my bank account dwindle as I continued to pay monthly bills got me thinking: what can I do right now to save money?
As it turns out, there's plenty of things you can do right now to save money, and many of them take only a few minutes.
- Cancel unessential subscription services.
The quickly way to reduce the amount of money leaving your bank account each month, is to cancel unessential subscription services. What do I mean by this?
Magazine subscriptions. That association you handed your debit card to over a year ago, when you still thought you were going into _____ profession. That box of fruit that you're paying to have shipped to you once a month, even though you end up throwing it out.
They're all truly wonderful services to have, but when you're broke, they're luxuries. Save that money for your essential bills, such as your cell phone payment, rent, food, or a new outfit for job interviews.
2. Start using coupons during your weekly grocery visits.
There's a lot of information out there about couponing. If you're not ready to take on the practice of extreme couponing, don't worry! I don't shop that way, and I don't know anyone else who does. The point of couponing is to save money, which you can easily do right now with minimal effort.
Make a list of the brands you regularly use in your household. Go to a website like Lozo.com and search for the products/brands that you already use. If you find a coupon for a couple of items, great! Print them out. If you can spare some extra change, buy yourself a Sunday paper (or two!) once a week. Cut out the coupons that you think will be useful to you. Bring the coupons with you and present them to your cashier during your next shopping trip.
3. Start shopping during sales.
Any easy way to stretch your money at the grocery store (or any store, for that matter) is to start shopping during the sales. I'll give you an example.
During a non-sale week at my local grocery store, $300 does not get us very far. We're lucky if we can pick up a few "basics" (milk, bread, coffee, snacks, drinks, pet food and supplies – keep in mind that this usually doesn't include canned goods or meats of any kind).
However, during a "sale" week, $300 can stock our freezer, finish filling our pantry up, and allow us to purchase twice as much of our "basics". A good week at the grocery store can keep us from having to go back for another 2-3 weeks, thus saving us even more money.
The key is, to shop the sales. Look at the weekly ads and compare prices. Is it cheaper to go to Walmart this week, or your local grocery store? Can you match up coupons with existing deals such as BOGO (buy one, get one free) or other low-price deals?
4. Look for ways to reduce your monthly bills.
Are you struggling to pay your monthly student loan payment? Examine your repayment options or consider applying for forbearance, if you're going through a temporary financial hardship.
Are you paying too much for your phone bill each month? Consider switching to a cheaper plan, especially if you're no where near maxing out on your data, voice, and messages each month.
It may not seem like much, but small savings here and there really do add up.
5. Find ways to reuse items that you already own.
Instead of purchasing new furniture, find ways to update or reuse what you already have. If your couch cover is in rough shape, purchase some cheap foam padding and fabric to make a new one. (Although the foam padding and the fabric will cost you money, it won't be nearly as much as the hundreds of dollars you will have to spend on new furniture. You could also check local thrift stores to see if any has been recently donated.)
If pieces of your wardrobe need some TLC, consider fixing it yourself with a sewing machine or a needle and thread. Or, you could turn old articles of clothing into a new masterpiece! Pinterest is full of ideas for repurposing clothes and other items.
What are YOUR favorite ways to save money? Feel free to share your ideas with me in a comment below!

Custom Permalinks Result in 404's
Hi everybody,
I think something is wrong with my permalinks. My permalink structures used to be like this: /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/ which were working fine. Now I get 404's whenever my permalinks follow that rule. If I put it back to the default, date and named based, or numeric structure, the links work fine.
I read some support topics for this problem and I think it has something to do with my .htaccess file. Here's how it looks like right now:

A year ago, our Joint Committee brought members of the bar tips and advice from Professor John Lande about negotiating early and effectively. His programs were a hit and the relevant materials are posted on our blog (see "Negotiate with Less Stress: Put PEN to Work").
Now, take another trip with us on this important subject of the interplay between litigation and alternative resolutions practice. In January 2016 we are sponsoring with the VBA Civil Litigation Section a follow-up program, "Disputing Irony: A Systematic Look at Litigation about Mediation."
James Coben, Senior Fellow at the Hamline Law School Dispute Resolution Institute, will speak during the VBA's 126th Annual Meeting, Jan. 21-23, 2016, in Williamsburg. His program will be as relevant and helpful for lawyers and mediators as was the Lande program – in fact they are colleagues, and John Lande suggested Professor Coben as a good sequel.
An article in the winter Virginia ADR newsletter, Vol. XIII, No. 2, addresses Coben's background and expertise.
Check out the event webpage at vba.org/vbaannual2016 for details regarding dates, times, registration and room reservation info.

We're super excited to announce some big news for Solarc.
We now have our own fermentor permanently housed inside of Mumford Brewing in DTLA.
We will be brewing just about every batch of beer on Mumford's brewhouse, sending the wort to ferment in our fermentor which we named Nina Simone after the inspirational Jazz artist. Mumford will have at least one permanent Solarc beer on tap at all times. We're calling it a "pop-up brewery," although it's really more of a residency. Solarc is open whenever Mumford is open, and you can find us (Saul & Archie) there on a regular basis checking up on our most recent brew and hanging in the tasting room.
As many of you know, this is a huge step for us. As gypsy brewers it's been a real challenge to keep a regular schedule when hopping from brewery to brewery all across town to make our beer. With our own fermentor and a new consistent location in which to create beer, we are excited to focus on perfecting recipes, honing our brewing practices, and expanding our production capability. This new incarnation will be a stepping stone to Solarc's next phase of growth, opening our own space in the hopefully not-too-distant future.
Mumford Brewing: 416 Boyd St. DTLA
Mumford/Solarc Hours:
Wednesday - Friday 4pm - 9pm
Saturday 12pm - 9pm
Sunday 12pm - 7pm
We will periodically have bottle release events, often paired with an experimental music performance. Sign up for our mailing list and follow us on social media to keep up to date with our upcoming happenings.

Rihanna thanks God for good news about missing friend
The singer and rapper Missy Elliott are thankful for Shirlene's safe return.
Rihanna is celebrating after her friend and former back-up dancer Shirlene Quigley was found safe on Tuesday (25Oct16).
Friends and family members reported the 32-year-old missing on Monday (24Oct16) and police in New Jersey launched a statewide search for Shirlene.
Details of her discovery remain hazy and she is still under doctors' care in hospital, but famous friends Rihanna and Missy Elliott are overjoyed cops found her.
Taking to Instagram on Wednesday (26Oct16), Rihanna wrote: "God is so merciful!!! Happy you're alive and safe @shirlenequigley."
And rapper Missy also thanked her followers for responding to her calls for help earlier this week, adding: "Thank u for all of your countless prayers & persistence in getting the word out about @shirlenequigley disappearance her friends her family & the Dance Community and artist she worked with!
"All media outlets! thank u North Bergen police she has been located and is safe and being treated in a undisclosed location... thank u God 4 hearing our prayers! We love u @shirlenequigley with all our hearts! I'm just thankful u are still here with us today."
Both stars had previously taken to social media to appeal for help in locating Shirlene, with the Umbrella singer sharing a sweet video of Quigley on Instagram.
"This beautiful soul, and former dancer of mine is MISSING!!!" she captioned the clip. "My heart aches thinking of how heavy this is on all who love her! If anyone has seen or has any information on@shirlenequigley's whereabouts .....PLEASE CONTACT the North Bergen Police Department."

I have a great team I work/co-create-facilitate with. I could not do what I do without them…. And I love to say "thank you" to them as frequently as possible and with almost every request. They help me shine and help others to shine.
I have some friends; as well as people I have met along the path that are this for me as well. We mutually reflect the light of living our truth the best we know it in the moment; and we frequently shine each others windows when they get a little foggy or unclear.
A few weeks ago I had a new Awakening's listener (my radio program) leave a wonderful message on Itunes about how much she loved the radio podcast and that she also noticed what a great team I had and that they were really kind, professional and efficient…. YAY…. :-)
Why am I mentioning this?? Because we are all a team and interconnected. Sometimes people don't realize and appreciate this until they get in a mild to horrible pinch; and sometimes it's "too late"… Or, takes a bit too much to reconnect to their support.
Your support is definitely the people in your life. It is also your Spiritual Practice and those activities, environments, intentions and focuses that keep you humming along your path.
I keep stressing this, but it is not only critical, but crucial to the New Paradigm…. Honor, thank and celebrate your support/s. This also means your own Self Development and Spiritual work for your Soul's growth, expression and unfolding.
Be your own best friend by not leaving yourself in a lurch… Be consistent in your innerwork and what is healthy for you. It can be a lot to balance, but it's worth it…
Take time to graciously move your body and stretch your mind beyond it's comfort zone. What was once uncomfortable most likely is really comfortable and maybe a habit.
Take time this week to thank someone….hug someone… And just do a bawdy outloud laugh with someone.

Mary Oliver takes a notebook outside and walks in the woods every morning and jots down what she sees. Then she goes back home and looks at what she jotted and turns the jots into a poem.
I would like to try this method, but I wonder, does she write as she walks? Or does she stop every once and a while to reflect? Does she write standing up or does she find a boulder or a dead tree branch or a dry patch of pine needles and plop down?
What about the winter? Does she have special gloves that her pen doesn't slip through? Or does she write with a pencil?
I shouldn't assume that Mary Oliver writes with a pen.

Emergency Dental Services
Some dental issues can't wait for an appointment. Broken or knocked-out teeth or severe pain caused by trauma or infection require emergency dental care. If you're in the Glendale, AZ, area or looking for an emergency dentist in Phoenix, call AZ Family Dental.
We can help with emergency issues for new and returning patients, and we also take after-hours calls for our existing patients. We work to ensure your dental emergency gets the attention it deserves quickly, so no further problems develop.
For new patients, we are available during normal business hours. Call our office to make an appointment today, and we'll get your dental problem addressed as quickly as possible. Emergency dental services are not available to new patients outside of regular business hours.
What Is a Dental Emergency?
We classify a dental emergency as anything that causes discomfort, trouble chewing or talking, or more intense pain. Dental emergencies are always unexpected, and they can often throw a wrench into your daily plans. It is difficult to continue with work or school when you're in pain. That's why we accept new and returning patients for emergency appointments on a very quick turnaround.
Glendale and Peoria residents seek emergency dental services for many reasons, including:
- Dental trauma, most notably when teeth are broken or knocked out
- Missing fillings or dental crowns, which expose the nerves in the teeth
- Intense pain in the face, which can make it hard to bite or chew
- Dental infections that cause pain and swelling in the tongue, gums and face
- TMJ, or lockjaw, a painful condition that makes it difficult to open and close your mouth
What to Do in a Dental Emergency
Many people try to relieve the pain caused by these conditions with
over-the-counter medications, but this only provides temporary relief,
and it does nothing to solve the underlying problem. The only way to
end the pain and discomfort is to visit AZ Family Dental and get
quality emergency dental care.
Call our office right away to discuss your problem. We try to get returning patients in for appointments as soon as possible. During regular business hours, we can also accept new patients with dental emergencies. In the meantime, there are steps you can take to lessen your pain and discomfort until we can see you for an appointment at our Phoenix-area office. Try the following:
- Before visiting the emergency dentist, rinse your mouth with warm water. This will wash away germs and cleanse the area.
- If your tooth is broken or completely removed, place the tooth or fragment in a whole cup of milk or store it between your cheek and tongue to keep it moist. If your entire tooth has been knocked out, try to reinsert it first. If successful, bite down on a gauze pad to keep it in place.
- Make sure you can tell the dentist exactly what caused the dental emergency, such as getting hit in the face with a ball or falling down the stairs. The more details you can provide, the better. This will help the dentist determine the best treatment.
- Do not take aspirin before your visit. Instead, take ibuprofen or acetaminophen.
- During your initial visit, the dentist will perform an assessment of your teeth and mouth, checking for signs of infection and other disease. The dentist will then prepare you for the appropriate procedure.
- The time it takes to perform emergency dental care depends on the cause of the problem. For example, infection in the gums or teeth can generally be treated quickly, usually with a scraping or other cleaning procedure and a prescription for antibiotics to be taken at home.
- Other emergency dental procedures may take longer. For example, a broken tooth can take about two hours to set and repair, while a missing filling or crown can take an hour or so to replace. For knocked-out teeth, the dentist will either try to repair the tooth or begin the process of creating a bridge or implant.
- Most nerve-related dental emergencies, including TMJ or exposed nerves, are treated with a numbing agent placed right on the affected area. However, the dentist may schedule a follow-up to treat the source of the pain and prevent future dental emergencies.
Following each visit with the emergency dentist at our Glendale, AZ, office, you will receive home care instructions that show you how to care for your teeth and prevent future emergencies. Remember that regular dental visits, combined with good eating habits and oral hygiene, help protect your teeth from infection, disease and other issues that can cause you to seek emergency dental services.

Project information
- Project
- Nepean Hospital Car Park
- Client:
- Health Infrastructure
- Location
- Corner Derby and Somerset St, Kingswood
- Contract Value
- $14.8(m)
- Contract Type
- Design and Construct
- Architect
- Fitzpatrick and Partners
- Project description
This project involved the construction of a six and a half storey car park for over 670 cars and motorcycles at Nepean Hospital. The hospital campus is in the process of substantial redevelopment, the car park expansion complimenting existing medical facilities by providing additional car parking facilities, reducing the demand for on-street parking.
The car park features a striking green façade inspired by the colours of the eucalypt trees which are prominent within the hospital campus. The façade comprises a series of powder coated aluminum vertical louvre blades fixed to the building structure at varying angles. The blades help reduce the entry of radiant heat and glare into the building and break down the overall scale of the car park.
The main car park structure is formed using a pre-stressed concrete system which facilitates exceptionally large spans. This approach minimizes the number of columns required, making the interior transparent and open.
This project compliments A W Edwards existing car park portfolio. The company has constructed many high quality at-grade and multi-storey car parks for several clients, particularly in the last five years.

Bronson Pinchot's narration of Ben Ryder Howe's snarky story of the pitfalls of small business ownership truly makes this offbeat memoir come alive. Not only does Pinchot do an incredible job with Howe's own sarcastic, funny voice, he also manages to provide ample spice to characters as diverse as Kay, Howe's sassy Korean mother-in-law; Dwayne, a quirky deli clerk with a penchant for strange weaponry; and George Plimpton, the famed eccentric literary personality.
When Howe's wife, Gab, sets out to buy a deli for her first-generation immigrant mother as a token of appreciation for her personal determination and sacrifice, things get a bit madcap. Because of this, My Korean Deli ends up being a light-hearted look at leading a peculiar kind of double life. After all, there's something delightful about a story that interweaves the purchase and operation of a family-run bodega in Brooklyn with a part-time editorship at The Paris Review, Howe's day job. After his boss, George Plimpton, warns him of the dangers of duel identity specifically that one side of his existence will always be threatening to swallow up the other, Howe begins to delve deeper into his own personal values. The book gets meta when he starts to examine different modes of achievement in American culture, pitting the puritanical over-thinking of the author's New England upbringing against the aggressive, DIY ethos of his wife's family. Ultimately, he mostly opts for the latter in life, dedicating himself to the immigrant-run deli and, in a more haute way, the slapdash but impressive Paris Review.
Howe finds a way to balance the big ideas with clever, laugh-out-loud anecdotes. Some of the more hilarious moments come as dispatches from the deli itself, as he is forced to get right with the rowdy regulars, navigate a massive corner-store supply outlet with his cheeky mother-in-law, or come to legal blows with various state regulatory agencies.
There are also more than a few poignant moments, including Plimpton's death, Kay's health issues, and the downward spiral of treasured employee and revered neighborhood character Dwayne. These serve to temper the mood and illustrate that, even in the deli, there are life lessons to be learned. Gina Pensiero
This sweet and funny tale of a preppy editor buying a Brooklyn deli with his Korean in-laws is about family, culture clash, and the quest for authentic experiences.
It starts with a gift. When Ben Ryder Howe's wife, the daughter of Korean immigrants, decides to repay her parents' self-sacrifice by buying them a store, Howe, an editor at the rarefied Paris Review, agrees to go along. Things soon become a lot more complicated.
After the business struggles, Howe finds himself living in the basement of his in-laws' Staten Island home, commuting to the Paris Review offices in George Plimpton's Upper East Side townhouse by day, and heading to Brooklyn to slice cold cuts and peddle lottery tickets by night.
My Korean Deli follows the store's tumultuous life span, and along the way paints the portrait of an extremely unlikely partnership between characters with shoots across society, from the Brooklyn streets to Seoul to Puritan New England. Owning the deli becomes a transformative experience for everyone involved as they struggle to salvage the original gift—and the family—while sorting out issues of values, work, and identity.
©2010 Ben Ryder Howe (P)2011 Blackstone Audio, Inc.
"My Korean Deli is…about love, culture clashes, family, money, and literature. Plus, it happens to be very funny and poignant." (A. J. Jacobs, New York Times best-selling author)
"Enjoyably light"
After listening to several "heavy" books, this was so light - so humorous. Pleasant read
the Korean mother in law
Don't want to give a lot away... I did enjoy all the stories about George Plimpton that were included. He was a talk show guest on many shows when I was a kid....
This could easily be done. Good book for when you don't want to listen to something that you have to give your undivided attention to.
"Don't quit your day job to run a deli"
Multicultural literary entertainment
No other book is like it.
Dwayne's death
Running a deli is harder than it looks. And I loved hearing about George Plimpton. Bronson Pinchot's rendering of the upper class New York accent was priceless.
"Less than delicious tale"
Ben Ryder Howe seems not to know what story he wants to tell, consequently a novel that had great potential turns out to be a self indulgent diary with chatter about a guy opening a store with his Korean wife and mother-in-law and his experience in a struggling magazine publishing business. The experiences with the Korean mother-in-law, was fun and insightful. Too bad, the author did not trust his ability to expand this story and instead meandered between story lines that provided neither dramatic or comic satisfaction. The narrator, is as excellent I look forward to hearing him narrate another novel). However, the story is anything but delicious.
"Funny, fun and great narration"
Nothing ruins a book like poor narration. Bronchon Pinchot brought all the characters alive with his great accents, including Author Ben Howe's droll sense of humor. A true story and very funny book about a Paris Review wasp who marries into a 1st generation Korean American family. Howe's love, respect and exasperation at his mother in law is the core of the story. Very enjoyable.
"Wanted to love it - just didn't"
WASP marries daughter of Korean immigrants and goes into business with his in-laws by purchasing a deli. Sounds fun, right? Sounds like great potential for story telling, right? Sounds as if the clash between uptight Caucasian son-in-law, Asian in-laws, and various employees and customers of all races and cultures would be interesting, insightful and amusing, right?
Well, it's not. The author seems to be trying for some sort of deprecating humor; listing his inability to use the cash register, ordering "yuppie" high end items that would never find a buyer in his deli, sells alcohol to a minor, and on and on. He comes off as rather dull, not funny.
He talks about his voyage to self-discovery, but I guess I missed the part where he boarded this boat.
"interesting story, excellent narration"
For me, this was an interesting story and very good narration. I looked forward to each listening installment.
"This guy sounds like a jerk"
The story sounded appealing, but it wasn't. I dont know if it was the narrator's snottiness or the story, but
"Rambling and Unfocused"
I thought I would gain some real insight into a world I know nothing about. I expected to be enlightened and charmed by an unfamiliar culture and introduced to some delightful characters. Instead I am listening to superficial observations and undisciplined ramblings.
The narrator does have a nice voice.
"Excellent narration"
The story is funny and poignant but the narration makes the book since the narrator does such a great job with the accents, bringing extra personality to the characters.
"Insider's View of a Deli"
This was an entertaining story about the author's experience buying a deli. I liked how he interspersed his deli experience with his time as a journalist. For me, the best parts were when he talked about his employees and customers in the context of the NYC deli. This is a light and quick read, which was perfect to listen to during my commute time. The narration by Bronson Pinchot was quite good, and it was an enjoyable listening experience.

Movie star MEL GIBSON is allegedly facing a legal battle from a young Australian woman who insists she is his love-child.
CARMEL SLOANE, 29, claims her mother MARILYN was picked up by Gibson when she was hitchhiking in Australia in 1976. Gibson, who then worked at an orange juice factory in Adelaide, apparently then romanced her in the back of his wagon - but Marilyn, who alleges she then fell pregnant with Carmel, never saw him again after their steamy interlude.
Legal papers will be served on the Hollywood actor this week (begs18DEC06). The star will have to either admit paternity or face a DNA test. Carmel tells British newspaper the News of the World, "I'm not doing it for his money. I just want to meet the man I've always known was my dad - and for him to get to know his grandson."
Marilyn recalls, "I was a slim young woman in tight-fitting jeans on the side of the road when a station wagon stopped. "Mel turned to look at me with those amazing blue eyes and I was mesmerised. He said, 'Where are you going?' I said, 'A long way from here.' "When we stopped for the night he persuaded me to join him in the back. I told him, 'If anything happens and I get pregnant I'm going to come looking for you.' "He replied, 'I'm going to be famous, you'll always know where to find me.'" Carmel adds, "We have no choice but to go legal so that we can get to the bottom of this once and for all. "A simple DNA test will sort it out."

Hi there, I just popped in after seeing you and this link on Bakerella's site. I just wanted to say that I love your blog, and after reading about you I find that we are very much alike! (Main difference, though, is that I live in Norway 😉
I have just started blogging, and I feel like such a novice. I don't have a clue about the technical bit, so I'm still learning. Food blogs are rare in my country, so I'm thinking I could start a trend up here 😀
Keep it up, you are truly inspiring!
Maria in Norway
- 5 September 13, 2010 at 4:57 pm
Maria thanks so much for the compliment, keep on blogging you can get lots of help from other bloggers most everyone loves to share. Bakeralla is awesome and the people who put on the Food Blog Forum were great so if you visit some their sites like SteamyKitchen.com and whiteonricecouple.com they have more helps on photo taking and other vaulable info.
- 6 September 14, 2010 at 12:14 pm
Thank you so much Suzanne! I have noticed that some of my friends in other countries want to follow my blog, so I have started to write my posts in both Norwegian and English.
Continue inspiring people, you do it so well 🙂
- 7 September 14, 2010 at 2:45 pm
Maria, you are welcome. I tweeted your post of the "cars" cake so hopefully you will get a few more people to follow you. Not sure if you know what Twitter is or not, it's a social networking site that is very popular in the US. Have a great week.
- 8 September 15, 2010 at 11:13 am
Thank you, yet again! I have noticed some more US traffic today! I'll probably "expand" to Twitter soon, when I'm getting the hang of blogging..
Have a tasty week 😉
- 9 April 13, 2011 at 7:48 am
So nice to meet you. Great blog you have here, I will go see the huddle. I will put you in my readers so I can keep up with you. Blogging is quite a job, but the best part for me has been meeting so many wonderful people, I now have friends all over the globe.
Have a great day.

I found that in certain situations the trap skill can be quite useful & never had a mob bug out from the fear effect while I was play testing it on Bullroarer.

I've recently attained lvl 75 and with an eager anticipation received my first horse ... I fell out of my chair in laughter at the antics of this beast.
Sorry 'devs', but have any of you ever seen a horse being ridden? Is there anybody within the whole of the dev's team anywhere within Turbine that has ever ridden a horse?
Maybe I'll invest some time in training this beast, but I doubt it will be before the coming update.
oh, and the latency lag is just atrocious.
this post was brought to you by a Misguided Misfit ... no pixels were harmed in its making
Even if we disregard all the technical aspects, the long term problem with MC is that the warbands we had until now are bland. For my Captain, I could literally create a MC combat macro on my keyboard, go have a shower and let my old Gen1. G15 solo everything including the so-called raid bosses. And there is not a single word on THAT problem in this dev diary.
Well, there´s that:
We also made the decision to utilize area effects rather than "fellowship" effects. With open-tapping and remote looting, we've found that most people don't need to join a fellowship to enjoy group content in Rohan. With that in mind, we didn't want to restrict these effects to "fellowship only."
If its not done in a fellowship, its not group content. Its just landscape stuff with more morale. And I am not sure what they mean by area effects. If its an Aura, things could work. If it is however a local hotspot buff, how is this supposed to work together with the so-called dynamic nature of MC ?
the rubberbanding and lag encountered when using mounted combat is so bad that i rarely use it anymore . most of my riding between areas is done on my regular horse , on the warhorse i'm much too likely to end up somewhere completely different from where i want to go , or end up with multiple mobs beating on me because i agro'd them while i thought i wasn't close enough to do so , if i saw them at all .
With a main as a burg I'm quite interested in MC v2.0 because it's currently somewhat underwhelming, hopefully these changes (and especially the new trick) should liven things up a bit.
I'm slightly surprised that the devs thought that burg DPS needed improving though, I've almost always taken the aggro on Bugud even if I've been taking down the adds first, unless there's a captain or maybe an LM in the area. But I'm not arguing
Sympathy for those still experiencing lag / rubber-banding btw
Seriously which idiot thought up that skill. Killing Kramp and its adds, then find I can no longer attack Kramp as its an ally of a Burglar. Can you devs think your way though a change without making idiotic changes like that.while the Burglar will earn a new trick, Impugn Character, that will cause enemies to turn on each other.
I think that one could be really useful if you use it on the Stickers, not on Kramp after killing the Stickers. Just got to figure out when and how.
Can anyone (I guess Doc, couse that signature I see under dev diary) of devs explain some changes with MC.
I don't understand why on light steed to go deeply into red line I need to invest points in max range of ranged skills. With last changes I have on my burg absolutly none ranged skills. Forcing me than to invest points in ranged skills is kind silly.
My second concern is class (yellow) tree. I see a lot of good work here. But according to dev diary, one of main problems was that players was forced to invest points into yellow tree, movement tree was just mandatory. Turbine decided to create choice for players. I am afraid you didnt succeed in this matter. Situation didnt changed at all, now yellow tree also seems to be mandatory (only content of yellow tree changed), so we still have no choice.
Gifford brg // Clodvig mns // Clodas wrdClodburz dflWeRockYes, english is not my native language.
I've noticed since the last update that there is a delay after using "Spread of Arrows" that's twice what the other skills use.
For example, use one skill, 3 second delay, use next skill, 3 second delay, use "Spread of Arrows", 6 second delay...
Is this WAI or should I bug it?
Every time my guard mounts his war pig he stops being a guardian and becomes a very ineffective champ. I am so disconnected from my class on this thing that it no longer exists. horrible idea, horrible implementation! in my opinion the best thing you could do with MC is shelf it!
They say they rolled the yellow line of old into the steeds by default, but they lie. My light steed used to be able to outrun almost any foe. He was still flimsy enough that ranged foes could be a real threat, but he was able to stay out of melee if I chose. That was his main defense. Staying out of reach.
Now, he's slower; slow enough that pretty much all foes can catch him, and not agile enough to outturn any of them. The result is that I'm in melee almost immediately (made worse because as a Captain, using my ranged shouts forces the enemies to melee range), and then almost immediately dismounted (and dead moments later).
They've destroyed the playability of the light steed, as far as my Captain is concerned. I used to enjoy it. As usual, they have taken away something I was actually enjoying.
I guess I'm forced to go to a heavy steed the size of a dinosaur, since the medium steed is always surrounded by glowing things that break immersion.
How far the game has fallen. How far indeed.
R.I.P NIDOR of Brandywine Server(1970-2012)
Wierd, my light steed still does 16mps with dash, which is what it did before the update.
When Mounted Combat was introduced I gave it a fair benefit of the doubt and really got into it for a while. I enjoyed the cosmetic options, but alas had to forfeit being able to use them because of the price ranges. So that was a major disappointment.
Then I decided to just enjoy running around and doing warbands. I enjoyed that for a couple of weeks, but in the end got so tired of the nausiating feeling caused by the slipping and sliding that made me feel like ice skating rather than horse back riding, that I took a long break from it. For travel, even accross long distances I started to use my regular steeds again. In towns the warsteed isn't even an option as far as I'm concerned.
Curious about Mounted Combat 2.0 I started the new area in Wildermore. I rebuilt the trait lines on my warsteed and took off. After playing for a few days I cannot say that I've noticed much difference. I ride a light steed that seems slower now than it used to be, which doesn't really matter since I avoid full speed anyway because of the slipping and sliding. This sliding feeling has not disappeared or improved and it still feels awkward and unnatural to me. I wish warsteeds would just ride like regular steeds, where going left actually makes you go left rather than sliding off a cliff. It is worse when doing warbands with lots of players all at once. It's looks like a stop-and-go movie on my screen.
I run Lotro directly off my SSD drive and the rest of the game really runs like a charm, loads fast and I never have any lag anywhere, but the Mounted Combat skating really drives me nuts. It's a shame because I really do enjoy the new Wildermore region, where orcs are much more actively running around and attacking than in other areas. Unfortunely I do not engage them on my warsled 2.0, and when I do I just stand still or go in walk mode.
I love horses, but these warsteeds would do well visiting a different farrier who can make them actual horse shoes rather than roller skates.
a blog about Middle-earth outfits
I agree with most posters here in that MC 2.0 is underwhelming.
When you are being rubber banded back and forth 20m, slight changes to the skill trees aren't going to be noticed.
When lag is at it's lowest I can enjoy riding my warsteed, but at other times it makes me feel physically sick, and that is no exaggeration.
I like the new area, quests and story but mounted combat technical problems are still spoiling it for me.
Given all the rubber band problems reported by so many peoples, I think the the Devs should make the difficult choice to let the server *thrust* the client far more, at least as long as the client don't report unbelievable movements like teleport 200 miles away. That is, currently the client says to the server e.g. "I move forward this speed and turn right", then the server responds with updated positions. At the same time the client make the same position updates. Then client and server side positions differs due to delays between client and server, and the client tries to conciliate by moving slitly his position towards the server one that he received at the last sync.
However, with the movement speed of horses, the sync is almost never done fast enough and the positions always significantly differs, thus introducing big problems as rubber banding and even sync differences when you try to jump over an object: the client says you succeeded, the server who received the info later says you did not.
Therefore, I think there is no other hope than to let the client send his character's position to the server, instead of sending each single movement and waiting for updated position as it is now. Naturally, there is a risk to promote the use of (I don't even know if it's possible) a tool that would modify the client in a way that would lift some of the movement restrictions in mounted combat, but well the server can still check if the movements required to go from one position to the next one are possible and compatible with the horse restrictions (speed and turning radius)
This way, the server thrust the client for horse movements, while still checking that these movements are reasonable and possible, which eliminates directly any rubber banding problem unless the client sent a new horse position that is not compatible with it's restrictions. This may even reduce a bit the charge over the server, I guess. Also, anything else remain the same, e.g. when you cast an attack, it's the server who decide if it's possible and when it triggers, based on the latest character position he received and checked. Moreover, in mounted combat any attack you cast is put in waiting queue if it's not immediately possible. Therefore, if you cast something that is possible for you but not yet for the server, then it's put in queue and activated next time the server receives and accepts a character position that allows it. That's fair enough, and positions must be updated often anyway.
I think there is no hope here other than thrusting the client much more. Otherwise, the horse speed would require to divide the connexion delays and server's delays by 2 or 3, which would cost probably too much. Moreover, it seems just fine if the server simply receives new positions and checks that they mean reasonable horse movements. It's even lighter to do.

Issue Position: Agriculture
Agriculture plays a defining role in our economy, and I realize the importance of making investments in agriculture as well as a commitment to farmers. First and foremost, we must strive to preserve the family farm. Too many children of farmers opt to pursue other professions; we must provide the necessary resources to nurture future agricultural leaders. This includes investments in education and providing younger generations with the opportunity to start up new farms or operate inherited farms.
To make sure younger producers have the opportunity to farm on the same land passed down for generations, I support updating and modernizing our tax laws to shield small business owners and family farmers from the estate tax. I am working toward a bipartisan solution to increase the estate tax exemption to $5 million ($10 million for married couples) and reduce the tax to a 35 percent marginal rate. For estates worth more than $30 million, the benefit of this exemption would be phased out. I do not believe full repeal of the estate tax is a fiscally responsible option at this time. However, my approach eases the estate tax burden for all families and most likely erases it entirely for virtually every small business owner and family farmer in Arkansas.
We must strengthen our farms through programs and strong legislation that benefit our state's producers. I will work toward sustaining a sound farm policy that includes a safety net and offers assistance to farmers during times of low prices and low yields. It should buffer our farm economy in difficult times and allow family farms to stay in business.
After countless hours spent talking with farmers, I recognize the immeasurable benefits that increased market access would provide for Arkansans. We need to eliminate barriers that prevent Arkansans from selling farm products abroad.
As your Senator, I will continue the fight to revitalize rural America and serve as a strong voice for producers.

Another View of the U.S. Army in Iraq
Saturday, January 14, 2006, 02:19 PM - The World After September 11"Over the next few days here, as time permits, I plan to lay out my view of the war in Iraq. I have come to view the war as probably unwinnable, and the situation of American soldiers on the ground as painfully untenable."
That's the opening from "Shadows and Fog," a series of posts recently begun at Cliopatria by Chris Bray, a PhD candidate in history at UCLA and a US Army sergeant currently stationed in Kuwait. (I understand that he was within three months of defending his dissertation when he was called to active duty from the Individual Ready Reserve.) Bray also has a considerable background in journalism; his publication credits include pieces for Newsday, the Los Angeles Times, and the Washington Post.
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Bray's perspective meshes well with that of British Brigadier Nigel Aylwin-Foster. In a brief weekend post, Bray notes Aylwin-Foster's critique and says that he suspects that Aywin-Foster is "largely correct in most of what he writes about American military operations there."

UK Brigadier Assails US Tactics in Iraq
Friday, January 13, 2006, 01:14 AM - The World After September 11Staff writer Thomas E. Ricks reports in the January 10 Washington Post:
A senior British officer has written a scathing critique of the U.S. Army and its performance in Iraq, accusing it of cultural ignorance, moralistic self-righteousness, unproductive micromanagement and unwarranted optimism there.See also UK officer slams US Iraq tactics in the January 11 BBC News.
His publisher: the U.S. Army.
In an article published this week in the Army magazine Military Review, British Brig. Nigel Aylwin-Foster, who was deputy commander of a program to train the Iraqi military, said American officers in Iraq displayed such "cultural insensitivity" that it "arguably amounted to institutional racism" and may have spurred the growth of the insurgency.
The article in question appears in the current (November/December 2005) issue of Military Review, which is published under the auspices of the U.S. Army Combined Arms Center, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.

The MilBlogosphere
Monday, December 12, 2005, 06:32 PM - The World After September 11
I never considered Blog Them Out of the Stone Age to be a milblog (military blog). Consequently I was surprised this weekend when Milblogging.com decided to add me to the comprehensive index it's building of milblogs. (See previous post.) Yet after mulling it over a bit, I figured, why not? Its webmaster probably knew better than I did what constituted a milblog.
Me, I would have thought you'd have to be a soldier--but then again Blackfive, the grand poobah of milblogs, is maintained by a veteran no longer in service. Well, then, a veteran--but come to think of it, I am a veteran, albeit of eight years in the Army National Guard. A veteran who has seen combat? Not in my case, unless you count my pitiless war on the mosquitoes at Camp Grayling, Michigan--but then many milbloggers are not combat veterans.
Hmm. I don't blog that much about combat operations in Iraq or Afghanistan. On the other hand, I do touch upon them from time to time and I have a category called The World After September 11 as a place to comment on the Global War on Terror. Furthermore, nearly all of my posts directly address military affairs, broadly conceived; whereas many (if not most) milblogs dwell heavily on current politics. Most of them are fervently conservative and hawkish on the war. But then again, milbloggers are at pains to tell you that their ranks contain a diversity of opinion. (And every now and then you actually run across an example of that.)
Having decided this might be a milblog after all, I've decided to educate myself more systematically concerning the MilBlogosphere. Here are links to a couple of good introductions to the subject:
Hugh Hewitt, Rise of the Milblog, Weekly Standard, March 12, 2004 - probably one of the most important early attempts to report the milblog phenomenon.
"Greyhawk,"A Brief History of Milblogs, Mudville Gazette, November 11, 2005 - A recent retrospective by one of the major milbloggers.

The Milbloggies
Sunday, December 11, 2005, 10:53 AM - The World After September 11Milblogging.com, a site that aggregates content from close to a thousand military blogs, has a best milblog competition of its own: the 2005 Milbloggies.
UPDATE, Dec. 11, 1:31 p.m. - As it happens, Milblogging.com has added Blog Them Out of the Stone Age to its index, which makes it eligible for a Milbloggie in the "Best U.S. Civilian Milblog" category. Voting in this category has been light, so with your support, the blog actually stands a decent chance. All you have to do is register (it's painless and free), then go to this page and click "Add To Favorites."
Alternatively, you can cast your vote for Armchair Generalist, which is a civilian milblog that I recognize and recommend.
Two other civilian milblogs, Arms and Influence and War and Piece (both listed on A Few Good Blogs) do not yet seem to be indexed, so I've submitted them for inclusion.
FURTHER UPDATE, Dec. 12, 6:30 a.m. - Blog Them Out of the Stone Age is now in the lead for "Best U.S. Civilian Milblog;" my thanks to everyone who has cast a ballot thus far. I've tried to earn the distinction by submitting other blogs that merit inclusion as Civilian Milblogs. Arms and Influence and War and Piece now appear on Milblogging.com's index; I've just submitted Irregular Analyses and Victor Davis Hanson's Private Papers for inclusion as well.
Incidentally, if you wish to submit your own suggestions regarding milblogs, simply register at milblogging.com and fill out a submission form. It takes only a couple of minutes per blog.
FINAL UPDATE, Dec. 12, 9:37 a.m. - Sometime in the past few minutes, Blog Them Out of the Stone Age received its 30,000th hit. (The sitemeter count reads much higher, but that's because I transferred 6,702 visits from the WarHistorian blogspot site.) The milestone doesn't merit a post of its own, but I wanted to mention it somewhere. Here's as good a place as any.

A Culture of War
Saturday, December 10, 2005, 10:02 AM - The World After September 11From Ali Tabatabaey, a fifth-year medical student who works in Mashhad, Iran:
A few days ago, a 45-year-old relatively handsome but badly dressed and dirty patient came to the clinic with a peculiar accent, complaining of a burning headache. In just a few moments, he would change the way I looked at the world around me.The patient, who had come to Iran from Afghanistan, presented with "obvious signs of depressed mood and tinnitus." He reported having dreams (he would not call them nightmares) in which he was in the midst of a fire fight and trying to organize a defense. It turned out that the man had been a thirty-year veteran of the Mujahideen. The attending physician assessed him for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as a covey of medical students looked on.
Obviously, the inquisitive minds of a group of young med students could not let him leave without asking about his experience as a captive. To no one's surprise, he had been tortured many times. He talked about being beaten unconscious while being interrogated by a Taliban officer and also of the Russians tying him to metal rods connected to an electrical generator (I had only seen such a thing in "Rambo," but this guy was sitting a few meters away and describing the feeling). This was no fun anymore, but the real surprise was yet to come.Complete post
I asked him about the war and the current state of his country. "I miss the war," he replied. OK. Let me get this straight. This guy's been wired up to low-voltage electricity by the Russians, been beaten unconscious by the Taliban, has spent 2/3 of his life running around valleys and mountains trying to resist the enemy, and HE MISSES THE WAR!
I can tell you he wasn't joking. He was insulted when we called his dreams "nightmares." He talked so passionately about the feel of a gun in one's hand and its smell that some of my fellow externs were tempted to try it out (thank God that's illegal here). He kept saying, "If someone came to me right now and asked me to go off to war, I would do so without hesitation."
There you have it. That's the problem with war. After a while, it becomes a culture. He is right. When all you've done since the age of 15 is shoot your enemies dead, changing your lifestyle can be difficult. War is one of those cureless diseases, which can only be prevented. Let's just hope his 10 kids don't grow up with the same culture.
Martin Van Creveld on Iraq
Wednesday, November 30, 2005, 08:19 AM - The World After September 11Martin Van Creveld has an op/ed piece in the most recent issue of The Forward. Van Creveld is a professor at Hebrew University and one of the world's best-known military historians.
The number of American casualties in Iraq is now well more than 2,000, and there is no end in sight. Some two-thirds of Americans, according to the polls, believe the war to have been a mistake. And congressional elections are just around the corner.
What had to come, has come. The question is no longer if American forces will be withdrawn, but how soon and at what cost. In this respect, as in so many others, the obvious parallel to Iraq is Vietnam.

The town of Barra Patuca on the Mosquito Coast of Honduras, July 2005
School in Barra Patuca in use as an improvised medical/dental clinic and pharmacy, July 2005
I reprint an email from Dr. Hector Gomez to our team leader on the July 2005 trip to Honduras that I've used as a framing device for the still on-going Heart of Darkness series of posts. I have not tried to correct Dr. Gomez's English; I think it reads fine, as perhaps more poignantly, as it stands:
Mike how are you I've been busy because the storms beta and delta have me with a lot of work with [medical] brigades and helping people I've a bad new for you Barra Patuca the last town that we visited in la mosquitia was destroyed 90% by beta storm was in this site was terrible and some sites near to Ceiba to my clinic in Ceiba was working 3 days a week I closed completly because the water inundated that and I had not insurance but my clinic in Roatan is growing I'm restarting everithing new now I haven't nothing in la Ceiba only the church and the public clinic but everithing is ok.If you'd like to help Dr. Gomez, you can send donations via Hands to Honduras. I'll follow up with a list of other recovery organizations to whom donations can be sent.

Cowboys take up AK47s to combat drug runners on Mexican frontier
From the London Daily Telegraph
As he careered along the rock-strewn gulley towards his silver mine deep in the Sonoran desert of southern Arizona, Roger McCaslin first checked his bowie knife, then his pistol, and finally his Kalashnikov. From the road, he had already noticed that something was wrong.
"The gate's broken and the door on the trailer's open. They've been here, I know it," he said ominously. "I just hope they've moved on - for their sake."

Blueprint for Action
Saturday, November 5, 2005, 10:25 AM - The World After September 11
Blueprint For Action: A Future Worth Creating, Thomas P.M. Barnett's sequel to The Pentagon's New Map: War and Peace in the Twenty-first Century (2004)
is now out in hardback. I just picked up a copy from the library but have not yet had time to read it, nor have I seen many print reviews. (Indeed, Barnett's web site, which keeps careful track of such things, lists only two--from Publisher's Weekly and Kirkus--though doubtless a steady rain of them is coming.) But you can already find several in the blogosphere. Just conduct a search at Technorati.com using the keywords "barnett" and "blueprint for action."
Meanwhile, The Washington Post has a recent profile of Barnett headlined A Brain Pentagon Wants to Pick (registration required). Here's an excerpt:
Despite Controversy, Strategist Is Tapped as Valuable ResourceThe article then goes on to note that "Barnett is back in Washington to unveil his sequel work, "Blueprint for Action," in a closed-door speech this morning to a select group of about 500 up-and-coming military officers and defense officials at the National Defense University."
By Ann Scott Tyson
Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, October 19, 2005; Page A19
Global security guru Thomas P.M. Barnett is in the unique position of being embraced by Pentagon officials and top U.S. military commanders as a visionary strategist -- even as he openly blames the defense establishment for botching post-invasion operations in Iraq.
Barnett's best-selling 2004 book, "The Pentagon's New Map," offered a thesis on the American military's future global role that the Defense Department found so compelling and easy to grasp that it has invited him to advise and brief hundreds of senior appointees and officers on strategy. His book sold as many as 85,000 copies, and his prolific blog entries -- which mix humor with often cutting insights on Pentagon strategy -- are closely read in military and intelligence circles.

In most ways, I do not resemble the average American. Unlike three-fourths of the country, I did not vote for George Bush or, worse, did not vote at all (just kidding — there isn't anything worse). I don't like McDonald's, I have no idea who Gretchen Wilson is, and I have only been to a Wal-mart once (to buy condoms). However, I am very similar in one aspect: I don't like it when people sing in other languages. Mostly, I think it sounds silly or, like most Mexican music, cheesy. It doesn't help that I can't understand what the hell they're saying, or that I can't force them to speak English — or at least more slowly and loudly.
So it was with more curiosity than excitement that I approached the much-ballyhooed psych-rock of Dungen's Ta Det Lugnt. Almost universally acclaimed for its retro-minded arrangement and compositions, the record — which is only available as an import in the United States — is sung entirely in Swedish and, except for the occasional moment when I think I know what he is saying ("Did he just say 'I am the man'?"), he could be telling me to go fuck myself and I would go on rockin'. But it's a sound move, because the music seems surer of itself and to be less about the posturing that can destroy a record that is so dearly indebted to a foreign and time-specific genre.
The songs are uniformly strong on a bare-bones level. The album's first half would be considered a little more pre-glam, with some semi-chant-worthy choruses and an early hard-rock sensibility. The second half becomes a little more ambient, with some jam-like free-jazz breakdowns. The two seven-minute centerpieces of the album, "Du E For Fin For Mig" and "Ta Det Lugnt," display all that the record has to offer beautifully, with strings and piano and guitar all smashed into a fifteen-minute period. The title track is particularly memorable, with its great chorus and a tempo switch halfway through. Its follow-up, "Det du Tänker idag är du i morgon," could be early Thievery Corporation, and "Lipsill" is a straight-up Beatles song.
Unbelievably, Dungen is just one guy, the multi-talented Gustav Ejstes. His Sabbath-like anthems, which melt into jazz-freakout groove sessions and Move-style psych-pop, is all over the circa-1969 map. But it works because it's so damn good. Strong melodies and stellar flow can save any record from irrelevance, but the strength of the instrumental performances here combines with those virtues to make a truly memorable album.
Perhaps Ta Det Lugnt could have tried a little less to ape a style that has little undiscovered territory left. But the refusal to cave in to the constant critical demand for modern dialogue with an older style can be admirable when what's behind it is such a solid representation of a past genre — even if it is that refusal that, like in this instance, keeps a record from being truly great. Nevertheless, Dungen's third album is a must-have for any psychedelia fan, and one of the best records of 2004.

What to do with all those St. Patty's Day Beads
Lady Luck Casino® Vicksburg gave out St. Patty's Day beads as part of their March 17th celebration! You likely collected as many strings of beads as you could, traded them with your friends and judged who came out with the most. Now that St. Patrick's Day is over, What to do with all those awesome FREE beads?
1. Classic Coasters
Transform your old St. Patrick's Day beads into a classy accessory for your home. Beaded coasters are extremely easy to make, they keep your tabletops free of water rings and they add a pop of color to your home or apartment. To make, simply cut your old St. Patrick's Day beads from their strings and arrange by color. You can mix and match colors or simply make one monochromatic coaster. Trace the top of a glass on a piece of thick cardboard with a pencil. Cut out the circle. Using a hot glue gun, glue your beads to the cardboard. You can make your coasters more intricate with funky patterns or alternating colors, or you can keep them simple and classic by using only one color.
2. Cocktail Rings
Reuse not only your old St. Patrick's Day beads, but restyle an old ring that you haven't worn in a while. Cut your beads from their string, and pull out the colors you want to use on your ring. Buy an old ring at a flea market or use one of your own rings. Your ring shouldn't have any decoration on it already. Using a hot glue gun, glue a quarter to your ring, tails-side down. Glue a layer of beads over the quarter. Add a second layer of beads on the first by staggering the beads so they make a circular pyramid shape. Keep adding layers of beads until there's only one bead on the top layer.
3. Christmas Tree Ornaments
Spruce up your Christmas tree with a little luck of the Irish by using your old St. Patrick's Day beads to make a Christmas tree ornament. Cut your beads from their strings, and pull out the red or green ones. Using a plain glass ornament, hot glue your beads to the glass ball. You can cover the entire ball in beads, or you can make patterns. Make a Christmas tree on your ornament by gluing five green beads to the glass ball. Glue a line of four beads above the row of five. Glue a line of three beads above the line of four. Keep going until there is one bead at the top. This bead could be a different color to represent the start at the top of a Christmas tree.
4. Wall Art
Make your walls look like they've been decorated by a kitschy artist with your old beads. Cut your beads from their strings and organize them by color. Decide what type of picture you'd like to make. Do you want one monochromatic picture or a more intricate one? Take an old picture frame, and using a hot glue gun, start gluing the beads right to the outside of the glass in the frame. You can make stripes, pinwheels, stars or other shapes using your beads. If you're feeling creative, glue a print of an Impressionist painting to the outside of the glass before starting your project. Glue different colored beads over the colors on the print to replicate the print in 3-D.
5. Chandelier
Give an outdated light new life with your old St. Patrick's Day beads. Take an old chandelier frame, and revamp it by stringing your old beads around the wire. Using a hot glue gun, string the beads from the top of the frame and wrap them around the bottom so they create a curtain over the bulb. Before you begin making your chandelier, make sure your beads are not made of highly flammable materials before affixing them to your frame.
6. Flower Vase
Make your own funky flower vase with your old beads. If you don't have a flower vase, you can buy one at a second-hand store or a flea market. Or, you can use an old pint glass as a flower vase. Simply cut your old St. Patrick's Day beads from their strings, and sort them by color. Using a hot glue gun, glue your beads to your pint glass or your vase. When choosing a glass or a vase, you don't need to worry if the vessel is unattractive or dirty — your beads will cover any flaws. Affix your beads to your vase in a color-coded pattern, or if you only have green beads, start at the bottom of the vase and hot glue them to the surface, working your way up to the top.
