February 27, 2013
The New York Times Motherlode
Madi O'Dell was treated successfully in Children's Hospital Colorado's Eating Disorders Unit (EDU) for bulimia which began her freshman year in high school. Today, Madi is a strong advocate for eating disorder treatment and recovery.
"People think you choose to have an eating disorder because you want to lose weight. But that's not how it was for me. I wanted to be in control" said Madi.
Learn more about the six ways to spot an eating disorder from Madi and Dr. Hagman, EDU medical director.
1. Watch for little changes
2. Listen to what your teenagers are saying
3. Schedule meals as well as activities
4. Notice new food obsessions
5. Act on your own instincts
6. Keep talking
Watch Madi describe her personal struggle with bulimia and how she got to where she is today.

CSU students to learn from Dr. Neil Degrasse Tyson before speakers series program
Cleveland State University has formed an innovative partnership with the William N. Skirball Writers Center Stage Program that allows CSU students unusual access to work and interact with renowned writers throughout the year.
Presented by the Cuyahoga County Public Library Foundation, this year's series includes programs with Dr. Neil Degrasse Tyson, Jeannette Walls, Dave Eggers and Pete Hamill. Before their scheduled programs in the Ohio Theatre at Playhouse Square, each author will interact with students on CSU's campus.
"We are very proud to offer our students this kind of personal access to nationally recognized writers," said Kay Shames, director of CSU's Center of Arts and Innovation. "This is the type of hands-on engaged learning that has become a CSU signature."
As part of the arrangement, CSU will sponsor various special events surrounding the Writers Center Stage series. For example, students, faculty and alumni will have the opportunity to participate in online book discussions led by the Cuyahoga County Library staff and attend a special presentation by the author in a class or before an audience on campus. Alumni also have the opportunity to buy discounted tickets to the series.
CSU faculty members whose courses include Writers Center Stage authors will incorporate supporting materials from Cuyahoga County Public Library into lectures, coursework and other assignments.
Now in its seventh season, the Writers Center Stage public programs begin at 7:30 p.m. at the Ohio Theatre at PlayhouseSquare at 1511 Euclid Ave. Each program will be followed by a question-and-answer period and a book signing.
This year's distinguished authors are:
Dr. Neil Degrasse Tyson, author of nine books, including the memoir The Sky Is Not the Limit: Adventures of an Urban Astrophysicist and Origins: Fourteen Billion Years of Cosmic Evolution, co-written with Donald Goldsmith. Origins is the companion book to the PBS-NOVA four-part miniseries Origins, in which Tyson serves as on-camera host. Tyson's latest two books are the playful and informative Death by Black Hole and Other Cosmic Quandaries (a bestseller) and The Pluto Files: The Rise and Fall of America's Favorite Planet. The PBS/NOVA documentary "The Pluto Files," based on the book, premiered this spring.
Jeannette Walls, author of the New York Times best selling memoir, The Glass Castle, which was named one of the Top 10 Books of the Decade by Amazon.com and won numerous awards. She is also the author of the instant bestseller, Half Broke Horses: A True Life Novel.
Dave Eggers, an award-winning author and Pulitzer Prize finalist best known for A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, a lighthearted, fictionalized chronicle of Eggers' efforts to raise his younger brother following the death of their parents.
Pete Hamill, an accomplished novelist, essayist, and journalist. Hamill has written for numerous publications, including The New York Post and Esquire. He has published nine novels, including the novel Snow in August, Forever and his memoir, A Drinking Life. He has also published two collections of short stories.
The Writers Center Stage Program is the Cuyahoga Public Library Foundation's signature fundraising event. Funds raised enable the library system to develop programs that reconnect the community to reading, empower children to reach their maximum potential, and connect with new Americans. Subscribing to the program is a great way to support the community.
Founded in 1964, Cleveland State University is a public institution that provides a dynamic setting for engaged learning. With an enrollment of more than 17,000 students, eight colleges and approximately 200 academic programs, CSU is listed among America's top colleges by U.S. News and World Report.

Franklin, TN - A fan is believed to have caused a fire in a vacant home in the Boyd Mill Estates subdivision yesterday morning (Sunday, June 24, 2012).
Franklin Fire Marshal Andy King said a passerby spotted the flames and knocked on a neighbor's door and asked them to call 911.
The Franklin Fire Department responded to the one-story, single family home at around 11:21 a.m. with three engines, two tower trucks, one rescue truck and 20 firefighters. The Franklin Police Department and Williamson EMS also responded to provide assistance.
According to King, the fire started in the crawl space and was possibly caused by a small ventilation fan used to control humidity. He said the fire appears to be accidental.
King said the fire extended from the crawl space vent to the home's vinyl siding and then into the attic.
The house had been recently vacated and listed for sale at $196,000. King estimated the damage at $50,000.

Who should pay for the first date?
I think it should be whoever did the asking. Most times it will be the guy but if a woman asks a dude to lunch--she SHOULD pay. Don't you think?
I did go on a date once where the guy got free tickets to a show (no biggie...I'm cool with that) but then I had to pay for parking. WHAT? No second date honey.
Here are the results of the study.
A new survey by Cupid.com reveals that 74% of men and 50% of women think the
guy should pay on a first date. Other findings:
- 35% of men will spend extra to get a women into bed. Only 12% of women view
this as a smart strategy
- 39% of women will spend extra to impress their date
- when asked what would cause them to minimize spending on a first date, 45%
of men said they'd spend less if the date wasn't going well while
23% of women said the economic downturn would curb their spending.
- 61% of men and 56% of women agree that there is too much emphasis on money
during a first date.
- 90% of both sexes say that personality is more important than anything financial.

For years, decorated Philadelphia Police Officer Brian Lorenzo rode his highway patrol motorcycle at the heads of processions for fallen officers.
"Now, others will lead the procession for him," Fraternal Order of Police president John McNesby said Sunday, hours after Lorenzo was struck and killed by a car heading the wrong way on Interstate 95.
Lorenzo, 48, had completed his shift and was on his patrol motorcycle headed to his home in the Far Northeast about 3:15 a.m., traveling north on I-95, when he was struck by a car traveling south, police said.
"He was 300 to 500 yards south of the Cottman Avenue exit, and appeared to be hit head-on," First Deputy Commissioner Richard Ross Jr. said.

Their vacations in tropical places left Denice and Robert Key wishing for more out of life and thinking, "What if…?" The couple had traveled throughout the Caribbean and Mexico when they were younger, and they could never quite escape the itch to retire early and move to a warm, exotic destination—something completely different from their Colorado home.

Posted on May 8, 2013 by Elizabeth Wright
So there we were, my husband David and I, retired in Hendersonville, North Carolina. Nestled in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains, we had a lovely home in a great development and spent our time remodeling, doing volunteer work, and getting on with our lives.

- Insider's Guide to Living in Boquete, Panama
Posted on May 4, 2013 by Jessica Ramesch
When I hear people talk about Boquete, in Panama's Highlands, I'm reminded of the parable of Plato's Cave. In that allegory, people sit in a cave watching shadows going by from outside.

- "We Have Luxuries in Nicaragua We Could Never Afford Back Home"
Posted on May 1, 2013 by Jason Holland
When Roberto, 63, and his wife Réjane Rojas retired in 2002, they were looking for a retirement destination with warm weather, a low cost of living that would allow them to live well on their savings and pension, and easy access to both North and South America. "We visited most of the Central American countries before we decided on Nicaragua."
- Own in Panama's Highlands… from Just $49,000
Posted on April 29, 2013 by Jessica Ramesch
It feels like the highland town of Boquete is Panama's fastest-growing relocation destination. There are a lot of "new things" around here…a new market, new theater, new library, and a new hospice are just a few
- We Sold Our House to Roam the World
Posted on April 27, 2013 by Lynne Martin
My husband Tim and I are living proof that older people can learn plenty of new tricks. And our errors have been almost as much fun as our home runs. In 2011, we sold our comfortable California house, dumped the furniture, put our small treasures, art, and clothes in storage, and kissed our four daughters and seven grandchildren goodbye. At ages 67 and 72, respectively, we became senior nomads.

Posted on April 24, 2013 by Jason Gaspero
When Aaron Bradford first traveled to Southeast Asia in 2008, he had no idea he'd wind up staying. He visited Thailand…Laos…Vietnam…Malaysia…and Indonesia. He explored undiscovered beaches, wild jungles, and ancient temples. He tasted exotic cuisine. And he made new friends from all over the world. His original plan had him returning home once the trip was over.
- Retirees Have More Fun in Panama
Posted on April 23, 2013 by Jessica Ramesch
Panama is well known for its friendly people…and that includes both expats and locals. It's easier than ever to find like-minded people who are willing to make friends, include you in their activities, or support you in starting something new.

Comfortable retirement. That's an oxymoron for anyone living in the U.S., Canada, or Europe these days. If that's you, listen up: there's a tiny little country where all your retirement dreams can come true: Panama. That's right. Panama… the squiggle of a country that connects two continents…

He's also the go-to guy in San Juan when expats and business owners have computer trouble. And he helps fellow expats transition to life in Nicaragua…
- "Latin America Changed Everything For Me"
Posted on April 11, 2013 by Suzan Haskins
With a love for Latin American culture and an itch to travel, Jaime Johnson struck out for Panama four years ago. His life took a turn when he met a "special someone"—and a year later he found himself living in her hometown of Bogota, Colombia. "That first year, I traveled throughout Colombia," he recalls. "In Medellin I found one of the most progressive cities I'd ever visited.
- No Regrets Moving to Malaysia
Posted on April 10, 2013 by Keith Hockton
As I meet more and more people who are interested in moving here, I think back to the day in 2008 when I made the decision to move to Malaysia. It wasn't that I was unhappy—in fact, far from it. I just made a conscious change in the way I saw things, the way I thought about my life.
- The One Thing Everyone Should Know Before Moving Overseas
Posted on April 9, 2013 by Dan Prescher
Over the last 11 years of living throughout Latin America, my wife, Suzan, and I have missed lots of things we had back in the States. The first one for me was roasted red peppers. Eight brands in the supermarket back home… none in the first two countries we lived in. (For Suzan, it was Triscuits.)
- Retirees Don't Wait in Line in Panama…
Posted on April 8, 2013 by Jessica Ramesch
"Pase al frente"… "Go to the front." That's the phrase I hear most when I'm with my Dad, who is 75 years young. When I was a kid in Oregon, I don't remember there being a particular emphasis on respect or special courtesies for our elders. Now we live in Panama, where I've discovered that locals have very specific notions about how to treat mature citizens.
- The Best Sunsets in Costa Rica
Posted on April 6, 2013 by Jason Holland
In my mind, there's nothing better than watching a sunset in a beautiful location, drink in hand. Fortunately, in my new home of Costa Rica, there's plenty of opportunity to do just that. There's 780 miles of Pacific coast–prime sunset-watching territory, as well as several spots inland that give you a great view.
- "I Get Paid to Have Fun in Ecuador"
Posted on April 5, 2013 by Alison Talbert
My teenage daughter, Sarah, and I were enjoying an afternoon at a beautiful spa near Cuenca after a full morning of shopping. Sinking into the warm mud, I couldn't help thinking, "I'm getting paid to do this." Perhaps I should back up. I began importing gorgeous, unique goods from Ecuador five years ago with no experience.
- The Time to Change Your Life Is Now
Posted on April 3, 2013 by Edd Staton
I didn't know where I was. Well, that's not totally accurate. I had decided to walk home through a neighborhood I'd never visited before. I was aware of my general location and direction, and I had a sense of how long it would take to be sitting at the dining-room table… so I didn't need to know my exact coordinates to enjoy my spontaneous exploration.

Posted on April 2, 2013 by David Hammond
Somehow, in my adult life, I developed the belief that I needed money to have a good time. However, living in Montevideo reminds me that's just not so. Here, there are so many public spaces, celebrations, and ways to socialize… all for little or no money. In fact, the idea that the finer things in life should be available to all is so important to Uruguayans that they dedicate a whole weekend to it every spring.
- Why Move to Vilcabamba, Ecuador?
Posted on March 31, 2013 by John Curran
In Ecuador we found one of the most beautiful and bio-diverse countries in the world. And with a low cost of living, a government that leaves us alone, and some of the friendliest people you're ever likely to meet, Ecuador more than exceeded our expectations.
- A Perfect Day in Tropical Boracay, the Philippines
Posted on March 30, 2013 by Jessica Ramesch
A 50-minute flight from the capital, Manila, the Philippine island of Boracay is a place of in-your-face beauty. There's no waiting to get to the beach to see if the stories are true. The minute you step off the plane, you can see that the postcards don't do it justice. The sands are as white as they say, if not whiter…a pearly glitter that stays cool under your feet.

"Noteworthy cause"
By GrandmaJeannie
from Lowry MN
All of the Post-It Notes Dispensers that I have used in the past rank in the 5-star excellent rating; and, the pink Breast Cancer Awareness notes and dispensers show an outpouring of support recognizing breast cancer as one of the diseases that affect so many women today. It even makes a cute gift for someone who has experienced breast cancer and you just want to say "I'm thinking of you, especially today" on one of the pink 3 x 3 post-its.
Breast Cancer Awareness
By evwings
from NE FL
I bought this product in honor of family members we lost to this horrible disease and two months later was diagnosed with breast cancer myself. Today I am a survivor. Each day I use the dispenser, I am reminded of how far I've come. The post-its are used for many reasons, including notes to my husband on the side of his computer monitor and keyboard. I have also used them in letters to add something I left out or to point out something important. Another huge help for me, I leave them on scrapbook pages for either changes i want to make or ideas for future layouts. Needless to say, I use this product a lot.

Caterpillar agree multi-year partnership with OCEARCH to help global research on sharks, key members of the ocean's ecological system.
"Most people think sharks are invincible," said OCEARCH founder Chris Fischer . "But they are in real danger*. We must find a sustainable path forward because sharks play a crucial role in maintaining balance in the delicate oceanic ecosystem. Now, thanks to the generous sponsorship of Caterpillar, we can continue our critical research expeditions that generate the data needed to inform policy makers, students and the general public on this issue." Fischer's vessel, the MV OCEARCH, already relies on Cat® power in the water. The boat with its team of scientists and crew runs on two Cat engines and has three Cat generators on board that power an at-sea laboratory, custom-built hydraulic lift and 55,000-pound capacity research platform with the capability of handling 5,000-pound sharks. "OCEARCH's significant work is advancing our knowledge and sustaining the waters that are so vital to people and economies around the world," said Tom Frake , Caterpillar vice president with responsibility for the Marine and Petroleum Power Division. "The fact he's a loyal Cat customer is an added bonus. We're proud to associate our two brands, which share common values, high levels of success and a commitment to sustainability." "Seconds matter in our research," said Fischer. "The last thing you want is your power supply to fail when you're trying to tag a two-ton great white shark on the hydraulic lift. If we need a part, I know a call to the local Cat dealer will be answered quickly, and we'll be back in business. The dependability of Cat equipment along with their global dealer network makes them the ultimate global enabler for our research, and we are proud to call them a partner." OCEARCH embarks on its first Caterpillar-funded expedition on February 21, 2013. When his crew leaves Jacksonville, Florida, they'll spend the following 20 days at sea conducting critical research on great white sharks with leading researchers such as Dr. Greg Skomal of the State of Massachusetts and Dr. Robert Hueter of Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota, Florida. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has determined that of the shark and ray species assessed, 30 percent are threatened or near-threatened with extinction.

Trip Ideas
There are loads of cheap hotels in Tumbes to accommodate the border traffic to and from Ecuador. The very cheapest options, while clean, are unlikely to have hot water or toilet seats, and the mid- to higher-priced hotels have the amenities but not much charm.
Hospedaje Franco (San Martín 105, tel. 072/52-5295, US$6 s, US$9 d) and Hospedaje Tumbes (Grau 614, tel. 072/52-2203, US$5 s, US$8 d) are your best bets for a reasonably clean, quiet room with a private bath.
The plant-lined hallways of Hotel Lourdes (Bodero 118, tel. 072/52-2966, US$12 s, US$18 d) filter into a second-floor sitting room, which looks over the street. Rooms have firm mattresses and are quieter farther away from the street. If this place is full, try Hostal César (Huascar 311, tel. 072/52-2883, US$12 s, US$15 d), with hot water, cable TV, pleasant rooms, and big, clean bathrooms.
About four kilometers north on the Panamericana, outside the city center, is Chilimasa Hotel (tel. 072/52-4555, chili [at] terra [dot] com [dot] pe, US$25 s, US$37 d with breakfast). This is a fairly upscale hotel, with a nice pool for sunbathing and large rooms with cable TV, fridge, and air-conditioning. The location makes it challenging to get back and forth from the center, but big families and tourist groups can make the hotel feel busier than the Plaza de Armas.
The more expensive option is Hotel Costa del Sol (San Martín 275, tel. 072/52-3991, www.costadelsolperu.com, US$61 s, US$72 d with breakfast), on the pleasant and quiet Plaza Bolognesi. The hotel itself is an oasis in this hot, dusty city, with a nice pool, excellent restaurant, and fully equipped rooms with air-conditioning.

It's a blog I find really interesting (because I'm a geek), and I've been able to try out a few of their techniques using old equipment rescued from work. I haven't tried this dashi thing yet, but I've made "roast" beef sous vide* and it was stunningly good.
*Vacuum packed, submerged in a 55°C waterbath for a few hours, then quickly seared on the outside before eating.
My blog is Food and Shoes
Well it would be nice to have a sous vide thingie to test out that theory, I'm sure... :P
Seriously....I prefer the refrigerator method myself because it's so convenient, doesn't spoil, etc. (Put konbu and katsuobushi in a big glass jug, fill with water, leave in fridge, use up within about a week)

King City Golf Course strings together three par 3s, five par 4s, and a single par 5 for a relatively short and challenging 2,284-yard course that has been welcoming swings since 1966. A gauntlet of sand traps and a pond form the bulk of difficulties along the layout's relatively flat track, a welcome relief from sadistic designs with extreme elevation changes or vertical greens. Golfers can warm up their swinging sinews at the course's practice net before starting their round.

No wonder Mitt Romney seemed like a data-driven robot when he praised Michigan for its trees Thursday -- "I love this state. It seems right here. Trees are the right height." He didn't always feel that way. Far from a treehugger, his own mother once revealed him to be a treepuncher.
Here's Romney talking about his dendrophilia in Michigan on Thursday:
But his mom, Lenore Romney, told a different tale to the Boston Herald's Andrew Miga in 1994:
Romney's mother Lenore, 85, recalled toting her teen-age son along during her raucuous 1970 Senate campaign. 'He wanted to punch anyone who didn't like his dad,' she recalled. 'I told him if he did that he was through. I told him to go over and punch a tree if he was that mad - and he did.'
He punched a tree. Not just any tree, a Michigan tree. Was this tree not the right height, Mr. Romney? Which side of the tree-love issue are you really on?

Teen Beast: Normal
Los Straitjackets
Mixing the familiar sounds of Dick Dale, Duane Eddy, and the Ventures, Los Straitjackets create their own version of energetic surf guitar twang complete with Mexican wrestling masks. Los Straitjackets began in the summer of 1988. Eddie Angel (guitar), L.J. "Jimmy" Lester (drums), and Danny Amis (guitar) formed an instrumental trio called the Straitjackets, which played local Nashville shows throughout the summer. After a six-year hiatus, the Straitjackets reunited, added E. Scott Esbeck on bass, and changed their name to Los Straitjackets. In November 1994, the band signed with Upstart Records. They released their first single, "Gatecrasher" b/w "Lonely Apache," on Sympathy for the Record Industry in February 1995. In March 1995, the band's first album, The Utterly Fantastic and Totally Unbelievable Sound of los Straitjackets, was released on Upstart. That summer the band went on its first major U.S. tour. In June 1996, the band released its second album, ¡Viva!; The Velvet Touch of los Straitjackets followed in 1999 and Damas y Caballeros! surfaced two years later. The mysterious musos decided to move on to holiday music the next year, and tackled several Christmas favorites on the fun 'Tis the Season for los Straitjackets! Supersonic Guitars in 3-D arrived in 2003, followed by a collection of outtakes, live tracks, and rarities called Vivos y los Raros in 2004. Twist Part dropped in 2006, followed by the all-star Rock en Español, Vol. 1 in 2007. In 2009, Los Straitjackets returned with The Further Adventures of Los Straitjackets -- a back-to-basics album that nixed guest vocalists and horns in favor of the Straitjackets core rocking guitar sound. 2012's Jet Set, which marked the return of Amis to the band after recovering from a difficult illness, was recorded at the Pow Wow Fun Room Studios in Los Angeles, produced by Janne Haavisto, and featured guest spots from the Basic Cable Horns (best-known for their work on the Conan television show) and Finnish actress and musician Irina Bjorklund. ~ Tracy Frey & Steve Leggett, Rovi

Red Rocks: A Rome-inspired pizza feast
The latter invention, much improved from its pizza-making premiere in ancient times, now headlines the show at RedRocks, Columbia Heights's charming new neighborhood boîte.
The District already has a fair share of excellent pizza, for all the lamenting of New York transplants who miss the doughy crusts of their hometown. But like Goldilocks getting her porridge just right, RedRocks aims its ambiance and ingredients in the pleasing middle ground between the city's popular pizza joints.
RedRocks DCWhat you'll enjoy the most:The welcoming atmosphere, with non-intrusive servers and no screaming kids to be found. Not to mention the addictively fresh pizza. What you may dislike: The pizzas that lack a sharp ingredient to stand out against cheese and dough. If you fear blandness on the plate, don't be afraid to add on a topping to a pre-made pie. If you like ________, you'll love RedRocks: If 2 Amys is the well-polished soccer mom of Washington pizzerias, RedRocks is the cool older sister. Definitely go during ________: The 10 p.m.-midnight happy hour, when cheese pizzas are half-price and the beers to wash them down have an even bigger discount. If you're on a date, ___________: Make sure you get a table outside. The uneven acoustics inside can leave you and your companion alternating hollers and whispers, but the patio dining is positively gorgeous. RedRocks DC, 1036 Park Rd. NW. (202) 506-1402. Monday-Thursday 5 p.m. to midnight; Friday 5 p.m. to 1 a.m.; Saturday 11 a.m. to 1 a.m.; Sunday 11 a.m. to midnight. Reservations not necessary, but slight waits may exist. |
Located steps from the hopping bar scene at Wonderland, RedRocks reminded me a bit of Pizzeria Paradiso, only with the mellower ambiance that dark-wood décor and patio seating brings. RedRocks also somewhat resembles Matchbox, only without the trendy and distracting American dishes. But its taste will remind you a lot of 2 Amys, the legendary uptown pizzeria.
RedRocks's link to 2 Amys, where the crusts have a similar sourdough snap, has a lot to do with the presence of Edan MacQuaid. Formerly the expert cheese-baker for the Amys, MacQuaid has found a new brick oven in Columbia Heights, joining forces with RedRocks owner James O'Brien.
"We thought it was a good match," said O'Brien, 39, previous owner of Staccato in Adams Morgan. "He'd take care of the pizza recipe and I'd take care of concepts, like the creation of the space."
Strangely, the star of the space remains hidden from most diners' views. Imported from Italy and made of refractory bricks that send cheese climbing past 800 degrees of heat, RedRocks's brick oven works its magic from the basement. Servers then tote the pies up one or two flights of stairs, but even at the height of the dinner rush, pizza stays piping hot upon its arrival.
Nearly all of the ingredients on RedRocks's pizzas are handmade or imported, and the freshness is palpable even on pies that leave something to be desired in the flavor department. The sausage and pepper pizza plays its sweet red vegetable off admirably against the fennel-flecked sharpness of the sausage, and an infusion of parmesan adds character to the cheese.
The peppers make an equally stellar appearance on a veggie pie, alongside smoky eggplant and zucchini, while a rich emerald pesto pops up next to sweet cherry tomatoes on its own 12-inch stage.
The most tantalizing pizza of all is dubbed "Napoli," a salty duet of capers and anchovies cut by fragrant basil and tomato. I requested a few dollops of ricotta to round out the alluring clash of flavors, and the pie was so perfectly cooked that the ricotta held its milky thickness even as the other toppings nicely charred.
But the funghi pizza falls flat, thanks to a too-mild fontina cheese that smothers the delicate topping it carries. A sharper cheese base, perhaps Romano or the Spanish Mahon cheese, would better complement the arrangement. In fact, dialing down the amount of cheese on most pies would eliminate the need to eat with a knife and fork to prevent larger slices from sagging under their own weight.
To focus only on RedRocks's pizza, however, would overlook its other charms. Few new restaurants succeed without the right context — the elusive combination of a built-in customer base, good location and high concept — and RedRocks hits all three notes. Just weeks after its opening, tables are packed past 10 p.m. on weeknights, when the second of two nightly happy hours begins and a decidedly Roman atmosphere of celebration takes hold.
In crafting RedRocks, O'Brien said, he aimed "not to get too, too in the specialty feel, [but] to still have the neighborhood style … I was hoping for a nice balance and I think we're pretty close to achieving that."
Meanwhile, for those who prefer a less cheesy entrée, the menu offers grilled panini sandwiches and salads worth praising in their own right. A plate of broccoli rabe, the bitter and stalkier cousin of broccoli, is piquant when paired with a dressing of hot peppers, sea salt and garlic.
The oven-roasted fish, which parks next to the pizza pies to crackle in its juices, is on the small side but stunning. The branzino I sampled fell off the fork with tenderness, bringing to mind swordfish without the steaky texture. My companion particularly liked the seasonal salad of wild arugula and tiny tomatoes.
Baked olives with house-made bread double as a desirable bar-side order to go with one of RedRocks's quartet of rare beers on tap; dusky Belgian Chimay and bright, lemony Allagash White are standouts. O'Brien also offers a cocktail menu stocked with sleeper hits, 13 wines by the glass and 25 bottles of quirky microbrews that beg to be sampled.
"I was very indulgent when it came to the beer list," O'Brien said. "I didn't try to get too much into what's popular, just what's great-tasting." The Abita Purple Haze, Bar Harbor Blueberry and Rogue Dead Guy Ale are a sight for parched throats after a long day of work.
Desserts are available for any incurable sweet-tooths, but the true decadence of RedRocks comes out of the oven or in a pint glass. As the weather turns chillier and appetites heartier, RedRocks's pizza empire is bound to grow.

Selecting the "perfect" name for your company takes a lot of thinking. You may like to create a brand name and develop marketing materials to promote your company and the products and services your company offers. A trade mark can be used in connection with your company's goods and services as part of the branding exercise.
It is not compulsory to register a trade mark in Singapore. However, a registered trade mark grants the owner of the trade mark a statutory monopoly. If someone else uses the same or a similar mark on the same or similar goods or services in respect of which the mark is registered, the registered trade mark owner can rely on his registration as proof of his right to the mark and sue for infringement.

Big Picture
Chicago is a fantastic city, and the University of Chicago can only be as fantastic as you make it. It's not an easy place to go to school, but if you're willing to put a lot of work into it, it's an incredibly rewarding place. There are a variety of reactions to people hearing that I go to the University of Chicago: 1. "UIC?" (NO!) 2. confused look 3. impressed look. People who know the school and can differentiate it from the U of I know its superb academic reputation, but it's a pretty well-kept secret to a lot of people. Once discovered, it's full of bizarre quirky people and places. My favorite spots on campus with my favorite people are the student-run coffee shops, of which we have many; sitting and relaxing or sitting and stressing with a cup of tea and a friend and a couch is a daily experience and one that I relish. The administration is largely unseen as far as I'm concerned. One can be involved in the running of the university as one wants, and I'm content to make my own way. School pride is self-deprecating at best. We have only one t-shirt with a positive slogan on it. And yet the kids keep coming back. Almost everyone considers transferring at some point, or several points, and many take time off (I'm sure at a higher rate than at other schools), but the overwhelming majority graduate and from what I've heard, though I have yet to do it, feel completely satisfied by their experience here.
Academic Life
Let's put it this way: the all-night level of the library is one of the most social places on campus. We study hard, but we play hard too; studying is often a joint experience since there is so much work that it has to be combined with hanging-out time as well. Class participation is common, and particularly after first year students get over themselves, very insightful and informed. Students are competitive, but more often they are perfectionists of their own work and less interested in beating other people. There's a high personal standard throughout the school. The Core Curriculum is a bore, but once through it, there are plenty of wacky classes to be had. In the past two days I've dissected monkeys, spoken Latin and listened to a professor tell stories about his childhood in the Great Depression. The attitude is totally learning for its own sake, and it seems that most if not all students feel strongly that this is the correct attitude.
Student Body
Students who would feel out of place are the apathetic. Not caring does not cut it academically or socially here. If you have a passion for something, there are others that share it, but this is not the place for people who have a sole interest in napping or alcohol (these are certainly popular extra-curriculars, though). Students can mainly be divided into the hipsters, the division 12 jocks, the international kids (mostly Asian) and all the grades in between, but social groups are very nebulous and everyone knows everyone. Everyone's a nerd. If you took the nerdy table at high school, threw in a few punks and a few jocks for flavor, you'd have the population of UChicago. Predominantly liberal, intelligent, and planning on grad school.

Canada natives could block development of pipeline, chief warnsBy David Ljunggren ,Reuters OTTAWA -- Canadian aboriginals are so angry that they could resort to blocking resource development and bring the economy "to its knees" unless the Conservative government addresses their grievances, an influential native leader said on Thursday.
January 12, 2013, 12:00 am TWN Native leaders are due to meet with Prime Minister Stephen Harper on Friday to discuss the poor living conditions facing many of Canada's 1.2 million aboriginals. Activists have already blockaded some rail lines and threatened to close Canada's borders with the United States in a campaign they call "Idle No More." "We have had enough. Our young people have had enough. Our women have had enough ... We have nothing left to lose," said Grand Chief Derek Nepinak from the province of Manitoba. Native leaders say they want more federal money, a greater say over what happens to resources on their land and more respect from the federal Conservative government. "These are demands, not requests ... The Idle No More movement has the people — it has the people and the numbers — that can bring the Canadian economy to its knees. It can stop Prime Minister Stephen Harper's resource development plan," Nepinak told reporters in Ottawa. "We have the warriors that are standing up now, that are willing to go that far. So we're not here to make requests, we're here to demand attention," he said. Aboriginal bands are unhappy about Enbridge Inc.'s plans to build a pipeline from the oil sands of Alberta to the Pacific province of British Columbia and say they will not allow the project to go ahead. 'Diplomatic hand' Nepinak said he wants to extend a "diplomatic hand" toward resolving the issues and gave no details about what he meant by bringing the economy to its knees. Nepinak and other Manitoba chiefs are also demanding that Ottawa rescind parts of two recent budget acts they say reduce environmental protections for lakes and rivers, and make it easier to sell lands on the reserves where many natives live. "We've been working tirelessly to gain access through various channels into this Harper regime ... How do we trust the words of this prime minister?" Nepinak asked. The chiefs want Governor General David Johnston, the official representative of Queen Elizabeth in Canada, to attend Friday's meeting with Harper. Johnston, acting on a request from Harper, said on Thursday he was ready to meet the chiefs once the meeting had finished. He has already said he will not take part in the meeting itself. The Manitoba chiefs are one voice in the debate. The head of the Assembly of First Nations — the aboriginal umbrella organization — is due to speak to reporters at 2 p.m. (1900 GMT) on Thursday. Successive Canadian governments have struggled for decades to improve the life of aboriginals. Ottawa spends around CA$11 billion (US$11.1 billion) a year on its aboriginal population, yet living conditions for many are poor, particularly for those on reserves with high rates of poverty, addiction, joblessness and suicide. As part of the Idle No More campaign, protesters blocked a Canadian National Railway Co line in Sarnia, Ontario, in late December and early January. |

Drivers not expected to take a break Labor Day weekend
September 1, 2012 · Updated 1:00 PM
Most statewide construction projects are taking a break this Labor Day weekend, but drivers heading into Seattle might be working overtime behind the wheel to get to their destinations due to several events that will create heavy traffic.
The Washington State Department of Transportation urges drivers to add extra time to their trips and plan ahead for increased congestion on Interstate 5. Seattle traffic is anticipated to be heaviest on Saturday, Sept. 1, with volumes building by 10 a.m., continuing into the afternoon and then tapering off in the evening hours.

Oh gosh that rent looks expensive.
I am currently looking for recommendations about where to live in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Although I accept the fact that I might finally have to learn to drive and get a car, I am still hoping to find a place to live where I will not have to spend hours each day stuck in traffic jams on an overcrowded highway to get to work and back. That is no way for human beings to live.
Also I'm hoping not to have to live like this guy.
So I'm looking for a place where I could maybe be close to Caltrain or VTA a few stops away from Mountainview.
Any suggestions?

House Adopts Smith Manager's Amendment
House Adopts Smith Manager's Amendment
Washington, D.C. – The House of Representatives today adopted a manager's amendment to H.R. 1249, the America Invents Act, a bill that makes much-needed reforms to our patent system. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Texas) offered the manager's amendment as part of an agreement with the Appropriations Committee over language addressing fee diversion.
Since 1992, nearly $1 billion has been diverted from the PTO. The average wait time for patent approval is three years. The Manager's Amendment ends fee diversion by creating a fund for fees collected by the PTO. The money in the fund will be reserved for and used by the PTO and only the PTO. This maintains congressional oversight, while making sure that fees collected by the PTO can no longer be diverted.
The House approved the provision by a vote of 283-140. The House is expected to vote on H.R. 1249 later this week.
Chairman Smith praised the House vote and urged passage of the America Invents Act.
Chairman Smith: "I am pleased that the House has overwhelmingly adopted the manager's amendment to the America Invents Act. The large margins of this vote demonstrate that Congress understands the importance of patent reform to maintaining America's global competitiveness, growing our economy, and generating jobs for American workers.
"After six years of working towards patent reform, we are near the finish line. The current patent system is outdated and has become a barrier to innovation and job creation. The average wait time for patent approval is three years. The America Invents Act creates a faster and more efficient process for the approval of good patents. That means more products for American consumers and more jobs for American workers. If Congress is serious about economic growth and job creation, we must pass patent reform."
Much-needed reforms to our patent system are long overdue. The last major patent reform was nearly 60 years ago. H.R. 1249, the America Invents Act, implements a first-inventor-to-file standard for patent approval, creates a post-grant review system to weed out bad patents, and helps the Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) address the backlog of patent applications.
H.R. 1249 was approved by the House Judiciary Committee by a vote of 32-3. Similar legislation passed the Senate with overwhelming support by a vote of 95-5. The bill enjoys broad support from industry leaders, academic institutions and independent inventors.
